I’ve been doing a lot of reading into various spiritual concepts and practices from around the world and typically light/order/yang is masculine and dark/chaos/yin is usually feminine. Is there another concept that’s being referenced or is this just a minor but interesting artistic decision?
I was a little disappointed that they played Raava as “good”; I’ve always preferred media like Babylon 5 where it turns out the vorlons are fucking with humanity too, but I can see why they might not put all that in a kids show.
Nah. I agree with Hello Future Me (on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@HelloFutureMe) about Korra.
Good show but with problems and Raava and Vaatu are probably the biggest one. The female v male and good v evil that they wrought out of the spirit world to explain the origins of the avatar were just … meh. The female/male divide is a trope and doesn’t really add anything IMO. If anything I think I always found their voices kinda weird in how human sounding they were. So if anything it is a distraction (masked by, IMO, the bigger problems with that whole story).
