GOD, KORRA. She wanted so badly to prove herself here. Her friends were in trouble, the city was in trouble, and Tarrlok was the one fucking everything up. Tarrlok, the guy who said she wasn’t good enough and triggered her self-doubt in this episode. And her facing here was as much about her as it was about the city.

Like, she grew up her entire life the best at almost everything she did. Bending the elements came so naturally to her, and she excelled at them. And then when she gets to Republic City, it’s like she can’t do anything right. She can’t Airbend, she can’t contact her past lives, she can’t defeat Amon, she got her ass kicked by the Equalists, and then, and THEN, when she and her friends start fighting back, when she feels like she might have something of a handle on shit, Tarrlok pulls the fucking rug out from under her and takes her friends, arrests them, and she’s suddenly powerless and alone again.

She just wants so badly to be a good Avatar and prove herself and she just can’t. Everything keeps going wrong. And now she’s bound and locked in the back of some truck after being bloodbended into submission, the city on the brink of war and the people in power dragging it ever closer to the edge with each oppressive measure, her friends in jail and her allies clueless as to her whereabouts, and she can’t do a damn thing about it. She’s completely alone. She probably feels like she failed the city, is failing the world, and there’s nothing she can do about it.

oh yeah!
