I really loved this scene, although I would have loved it even more if it had been used to teach Korra a lesson about how yes, she IS also the non-bender’s Avatar too, and she needs to protect them from tyrannical benders (ie. Tarrklok, criminal bender gangs, etc.) and not just focus on Amon taking everyone’d bending.
I feel like the Equalists had a really legitimate foundation for their revolution, and the resolution to this conflict was not a resolution at all. The same inequalities that tore apart the city are STILL THERE. But now the non-benders have no leader or hope anymore.
I would really like Korra to have had some serious introspection after losing her bending… she should have lost ALL of it, and then used that downtime to get in touch with her spiritual side and gain each element back one at a time. And during this struggle, she should learn what it’s like to live as a non-bender, talk to both the under privileged ones (the types who get harassed the most by the bender gangs) as well as those like Asami who can get around it by protecting/empowering themselves with technology.
I’d have liked Korra to have realized that as a non-bender, the world isn’t designed for you. Technology relies on bending. There are jobs only benders can have. You are constantly under threat by people who may or may not have invisible power over you. There are places that as a non-bender, you will never have access to. (Like airbender temples, which require airbending to enter.) Benders see non-benders as handicapped, and when they lose their bending, it’s treated like a death. There’s bound to be an element of elitism and segregation that went largely unmentioned in the entire season.
These are all themes that would have been extremely interesting to explore… far more than some terrible romance sub-plot.
Yes, this is one of my favorite scenes for these reasons. Though going back and looking at how they went absolutely nowhere with it, it makes me more disappointed in retrospect. There was so much potential, sigh. If they drop the bender/non-bender conflict just because Amon was a fraud… I’m gonna set myself on fire.
oh god that’s beautiful
i’m hoping they’ll cover more of this aspect in the second season. i’ll be pretty disappointed if they don’t. :/

062112 ♥ 312Toph’s blindness was one of the most excellently handled aspects of AtLA because it wasn’t treated like a disability. So often in shows (and especially children’s animation) disabled characters are limited to apperances in “very special episodes” where the main characters have to learn a lesson that these people are capable “in spite of” their handicaps, like that episode of Kim Possible wherein Kim constantly stumbles over herself around Felix. This approach is often just as insulting as making them the butt of jokes, because it’s patronizing and it limits the amount of roles disabled characters are allowed to have.
Avatar challenged that stereotype with Teo, and then sent a giant middle finger its way by introducing Toph. She’s turned what would otherwise be a disability into an advantage, and she’s not afraid to crack jokes about it. She functions well enough that the other characters often forget that she is blind, but at the same time it’s an integral part of her bending and allows her to be the greatest earthbender ever. It sends a powerful message that having a physical disability does not make you less of a person, and often affords you a unique perspective that the so-called “normal” people never get to experience.
One of the many reasons I love this show.
I’ve reblogged this before, but I’m reblogging it again. Best character. <3
And this is why Toph is my favorite character (along with Appa, lol).
