@onsipin: yea but again korra is a master earthbender and aang is not. Which in itself tells us that Korra is > aang. Maybe aang has better defensive showing but korra has much better offensive.
korra is no slouch when it comes to dodging as well, aang is undoubtedly better, but it's not one sided. and korra's durability makes up for aang being better than her at dodging. korra can tank and hit he throws while aang can only take a few of korra's hits.
@emmafrostxmen: can you really hold it against Aang that he didn't get to "master" earthbending in that little time he had trying to survive in a war-torn world? He had barely any time to master the elements, he spent time trying to find masters to teach him and was busy literally saving the world. He was constantly on the run etc. Korra has a training arena with masters lined up for her, it would be pathetic if she wasn't better at it than Aang during her show where she was 16 already lol (we saw that she received training at a very young age)
@onsipin: So, he didn’t get the same training as korra. Your post doesn’t make sense because this battle is in Charecter. The battle does not say ‘if aang got to train as long as korra’, the battle is in Charecter therefore the are only as powerful as they were at the end of the series. Korra mastered more elements than aang.
Also I never said aang is stupid because he didn’t master fire and earth, I just said that he never mastered them which is a fact.also I know why aang didn’t master all of the elements(not enough time).

Aang has better earth bending feats than Korra and he can do things like seismic sense and tunelling
aang stomps and it's no joke the only thing that made aang seem weak was his morals removing that and making him bloodlusted is overkill korra can't handle aang, not by a long shot.
Lol @ Korra beating a stable Azula. Aang wins, it was made quite obvious in the show what he was capable of bloodlusted, he pacifism was ingrained into his character for a reason
@emmafrostxmen: it doesn't even matter if she's superior in Fire, Water and arguably Earth (even if she's better, it's only by a little) because his Airbending is >>> and makes up for it and would give him the win. She can't tag him, and his airbending is powerful enough to take her out
@marvelfan1992: Korra is about as fast and agile, way more durable and can easily crush Aang with her waterbending. She also has superior raw power in every element except maybe earth and superior skill in every element except air.

What makes you say she has superior raw power in Airbending? And how does she easily crush Aang with her waterbending? I'm not sure if you're underestimating Aang's airbending or overestimating Korra's waterbending
@unlimited1: Korra had the AS boost there. Here is the full scene broken down into 2 gifs. Clearly she is still amped form the AS boost she used just a moment earlier as it was on the same level of power. And yes her waterbending is indeed powerful but that wave torrent of water is not hitting Aang, and her close-quarter waterbending isn't good enough to take out Aang, he is far too agile. I do not think Korra is as fast and agile either. Aang rarely gets tagged in the series, most of the times he has been knocked down are when tries to shield with earth or water and the opponent breaks through his defense. But I agree about her durability far exceeding his.
@marvelfan1992: He is the superior bender. Faster, stronger, and more durable.
I agree he is the superior bender, but he is definitely NOT more durable. Korra's durability is a lot superior to Aang's. She has taken so many hard hits and continued to fight. However, this does help showcase that Aang is a lot more agile and quick as he rarely ever gets tagged whereas Korra is always having to show her durability because she's always getting tagged

No she didn't, she entered the avatar state for a moment before the first attack to amplify it, there is no evidence to suggest that the second attack, which was preformed after Korra had to avoid the colossus was effected except the fact that some have a hard time admitting Korra has more raw airbending power than Aang. The first attack was stronger, but the second one sent the colossus which was starting to lose it's footing out of balance, never the less this feat is still more impressive than anything Aang ever did using airbending in terms of raw power.
that wave torrent of water is not hitting Aang, and her close-quarter waterbending isn't good enough to take out Aang
Why exactly?
I do not think Korra is as fast and agile either.
She may be faster, the best reaction speed feat in the series was preformed by her.
Her agility is also very impressive.
Aang rarely gets tagged in the series
That's because he rarely fights strong opponents, when he does he gets tagged plenty of times.
most of the times he has been knocked down are when tries to shield with earth or water and the opponent breaks through his defense.
And most of the times he tries to shield himself are when he knows he won't be able to dodge.
Korra...she is stronger and a more talented standard bender...Aang relies too much on the Avatar state...
You cant be serious? Name a SINGLE time Aang just has been legitimately dominated (Barring one complete CiS instance with Azula on the drill)? Its even worse when the benders of her era are atleast 2x weaker than the legends of the old days....even fodder had legitimate feats in that time period where as with Korras time earth bending car sized boulders is still impressive.
How was the drill CIS and what is with Aang losing basically any encounter with Azula without help coming to aid him?
With that being said, a bloodlusted all elements Aang definitely beats Korra.
@morbusgrav: No, Zuko bent fire with firebending while Korra blocked the shockwave with airbending. Shockwaves move at supersonic to hypersonic speeds while fire moves segnificantly slower than sound.
@morbusgrav: No, Zuko bent fire with firebending while Korra blocked the shockwave with airbending. Shockwaves move at supersonic to hypersonic speeds while fire moves segnificantly slower than sound.
Air also moves significantly slower than sound and Zuko must have blocked the shockwave too, as we also saw. So it's still the same reaction, regardless of which element they have used.
@morbusgrav: Sound is a vibration moving through the air. Zuko didn't block the shockwaves because shockwaves move in a straight line and the explosives did not detonate in his vicinity, fire from the explosion moved up the shaft until it reached him and he used firebending to defend himself from it.
Not to mention Zuko failed in completely blocking the explosion, sporting some pretty rough injuries afterwards.
OT still backing Korra solidly she's much better at integrating all the elements into her fighting whereas Aang relies very heavily on air and earth to a lesser extent.

Zuko didn't block the shockwaves because shockwaves move in a straight line and the explosives did not detonate in his vicinity, fire from the explosion moved up the shaft until it reached him and he used firebending to defend himself from it.
No, we saw how he reacted basically point blank as the explosion reached him and the shockwave obviously travels into all directions. Also if we would really go deeper into reaction speed reached Azula's Agni Kai lightning that Zuko interceped a speed of several machs, as we saw right after the redirection in the bird view.
And a bloodlusted Aang anyways wins comfortably for completely different reasons than reaction speed, i don't even think there is a big difference between the likes of Korra, Aang, Tenzin, Azula and so in that category to be perfectly honest.
@morbusgrav: He reacted to the fire, the explosion was triggered in a room way beneath him and the fire from it very clearly moved up the shaft and reached Zuko, shockwaves don't behave this way. Lightning bending doesn't create real lightning, something that both Korra and Bolin reacted to anyway and which I consider to be an outlier for obvious reasons. I agree this is not the most important issue here and that Korra wins for other reasons, some of which I already stated.
@swagbender: I never downplayed korra // people on this site constantly place aang above korra despite never showing feats on Korras level. Korra mastered ever element, aang didn’t therefore korra > aang
Aangs air will keep korra at bay for a while but korra can tank and dodge anything aangcan throw at her. Aang consistantly lost to Azula, And zuko.
@gxrevs06: That is an outlier. If your a master than implies you are one of the best benders in your element. And Zhao was being stalemated by zuko who was a novice at the time.
Also zuko was on his level in firebending and zuko was no master at the time.
Master is always better than non master
Also korra mastered 3-4 elements while aang mastered 1-2 elements therefore korra > aang bending wise
Using contextual outliers for Korra and posting links to reddit respect threads will not help your case for Korra. Especially not with a hardcore Korra fanboy running wild in other threads.
@thebuckaronatr: I am not a korra fanboy and I actually like aang much more than korra, but no one on this site ever posts any feats for aang that could compare to the level of power and durability korra has shown. Aang gets 1 shot in 99.9999% of his fights

I was not talking about you but now you start to sound a bit like him. Aang literally cooled tons of lava from a bursting volcano and cut through the Fire Nation Warship weapons. He also was running faster than eye and shielded himself from Combustion Man. And Azula is the only person who ever 1 shoted Aang.

That's my point. In the ATLA, you don't have to be a god tier bender to be considered a master. Zhao was stated to be a fire bending master. Even Lightning Bolt Zolt was stated be a bending master. The logic that Korra>Aang because the former has mastered earth bending is flawed. Aang has better earth bending feats

And how does that translate in a fight though? He needed the avatar state to slowly break down a pillar in terms of busting power.
and cut through the Fire Nation Warship weapons.
Example? Korra could break metal constructs easily too.
He also was running faster than eye
I mean with bending augmented speed that's do able. Most bending attacks are faster.
@thebuckaronatr: @emmafrostxmen: I posted a link to a complete Korra respect thread. Korra has mastered 3 elements when she was a teenager, and has metal bending, airbending, spirit bending, advanced unarmed combat and energy bending at her disposal.
Aang never mastered all the elements except for Air when he faced Ozai.
EmmafrostXmen I tagged you because I saw you needed help. I justed pointed out the downplay of Korra's abilities.
