She doesn't want to disappoint the world, she has to be strong enough to deal with this on her own. This whole episode is designed to show how far Korra will go to project an appearance of power and strength as well as why she acts like this. The way he communicates with her is very disturbing with how raw and personal it is, and his promise To "destroy her", not kill, not end, but destroy, shows how deeply he understands her, how obvious her little show was to him, and the palpable fear she has of him, of what he can do to her. Lured into a false sense of security that is quickly shattered by Amon's appearance and swift defeat of her, Amon has her completely at his mercy, and she knows it. However her mission with Tarrlok is a success!, and as the saying goes, "Pride comes before the fall",and so Korra makes the absolutely awful decision to try and further prove her bravery to both the world and herself. Then she is reminded that people expect "great things" from her,which feeds into her doubt and desire to prove herself as a worthy avatar, as well as making her insecure about her lack of accomplishment.įinally she meets Asami, someone who she subconsciously sees as better than herself, seen in her descriptions of her as the "beautiful, rich girl" who is now with the boy she likes.Īll these interactions poke holes into the armor that Korra has put up, and after a night of self doubt and insecurity, she makes a terrible decision stemming from her bruised ego, and joins Tarrlok's task force after being pressured by the press, lest she admit her fears and be seen as (in her eyes) the coward and fraud she is, that she contains and hides deep, deep down from the judgmental and expectant eyes of the world. Korra is faced with the fact that she doesnt deserve this honor by Lin, a precise blow to her ego that increases her insecurity. In this episode we see the normally eager and temperamental Korra acting almost deflated, refusing to join Tarrlok's task force and instead throwing herself into her training to try and avoid her feelings, which draws immense concern from Tenzin, but Korra refuses to acknowledge her fear and instead builds up a thick visage of strength to hide how scared she truly is.ĭuring this episode we see her being manipulated by Tarrlok, with him throwing a party in her honor that acts as the perfect stage to explore her character and the depths of her insecurity. This haunts and leaves a noticeable impact on her, which is explored in the next episode and the one I'll be discussing today Then the Revelation comes, during this episode we see Korra witness Amon take away someone's bending completely, rendering them shattered I loved Legend of Korra since the first episode, because of the sense of wonder and fun it seemed to radiate in its first 2 episodes, especially within Korra herself, she's just a teenager who's gotten her first taste of freedom whilst also dealing with her frustrations in life As she wakes up, she is alerted by the shaman that Harmonic Convergence is drawing near. His story makes Korra realize what she must do to restore balance to the physical and Spirit World. Wan shows Korra how he learned the other three elements and the reason why he eventually merged with Raava and became the first Avatar.
