I believe the Avatar State is Korra tapping into Raava's power and also THROUGH Ravaa, absorbing the skills of past Avatars. Now with that link to her past lives gone, she can still get a power boost from Raava, but no additional skills.

This wasn't my favorite season of this series, but I do appreciate it for the fact that the creators/writers did expand on the Avatar lore as we came to know in the first series. I can't wait for you guys to start my favorite out of all four of the seasons of this show.

Harmonic convergence is mainly what allowed Unavaatu and Korra to turn giant like that. In Korra’s case, she also had help from the tree of time, which was powered by harmonic convergence at the time, as well as her own inner spirit.
Harmonic Convergence is basically a Sozin’s comet but for spiritual energy. So it amps up your power like crazy. Probably boosted Jinora’s power as well tbh.

I have a vague memory that what Eric said about the Avatar being strengthened by the power of their past selves is actually a real factor in the series. I feel like next season Korra's bending is weakened by the loss of her past lives, and because she is starting the avatar cycle over she is not as strong. I could be remembering it wrong as its been several years since I watched it, but I feel like something like that happens to her bending strength overall.

korra is the first avatar like wan was the frist avatar. she just can't call on their knowledge or aid any more. so when the next avatar is born after korra dies the next avatar will be able to access her

their discussion about giant spirit korra was soo aggravating. two words: harmonic. convergence. there's so much spiritual energy surging that you'd have to assume that spiritually inclined people get like a 6000+ buff

Need 3 SUPER HYPE emojis inserted right here 👉. I cannot wait for next weeks reaction. I just think the storyline flows alot better than book 2. But once again it’s always enjoyable watching your reactions it made me appreciate this season.

You have to remember not only is Jenora the granddaughter of a spiritually strong Avatar but of a master healer. She inherited a powerful connection to the spirit world from the start, it seems. I think it's just naturally hereditary for her

One of the many important things about Korra is that she is the last in the original line of Avatars as well as the first of the new line. I love that, though I am, of course, very sad about the lost connection. Also, Eska and Desna are fun comic-relief villains. I love a well-done deadpan performance so kudos to the actors of those two.

I have to say, rewatching book 2 (which was my least fav) with you guys really increased how much i like it. The beginning is a bit slow but towards middle i began to enjoy it immensely
Noah Burke

It’s worth noting that during Harmonic Convergence spiritual energy is increased massively. That’s why Jinora was so powerful as she already had a deep connection with the spirits.

Buckle up, guys. You're in for some crazy biz going forward. I remember there was so much hate for this because of the Lion Turtles, and how they were involved with bending. The season was fine, my personal fave... is a toss up between 3 and 4,
Jasmine King
2017-10-27 19:49:15 +0000 UTC
What theory do you need about Giant Korra? It's just her tapping into her own spiritual energy and being powered up by Harmonic Convergence, which doubles the power.
MRBS
2017-10-27 19:46:11 +0000 UTC
wow Korra connected with some Cosmic Energy on the Harmonic Conversion. she woke as fuck lol
Kris
2017-10-27 19:18:58 +0000 UTC
I have my own little theory about giant korra. If you remember the Wan flashback, every time a spirit takes over a person they are physically changed permanently. If the same rules apply to Ravva, there is no physical change but a spiritual change. All avatars are permanently strengthened spiritually by hosting Ravva.

Jinora is a prodigy to air and spirit aang was a master spirit but a prodigy airbender, in terms of azula to fire is jinora to spirit.... Avatar lives for a long time in the past kyoshi was 200 when she died so maybe not as many avatars as you think... Korra was never not the avatar she still the rebirth of aang spirit rava just finds them she doesnt choose them

When Korra was meditating in the Tree of Time, she used it's connection with the cosmic energy of the universe to tap into that energy herself, similar to how the Avatar state does, which is what allowed her to bend her own energy and create the giant avatar of her own spirit. The Tree of Time was basically a stand-in for Raava for tapping into the cosmic energies. It goes back to Guru Pathik teaching Aang to open his chakras to access the Avatar state. When opening the seventh chakra, Aang was able to access the vast cosmic energy of the universe. It's all connected.

Korra's villains are pretty much all excellent, hands down.
My favourite is probably Book 4's, but agreed, 3 is a great one.
Dale Denton
2017-10-27 16:40:58 +0000 UTC
In terms of Jinora's abilities, one must keep in mind that more so than any of the other grandchildren, Tenzin, and even Korra herself, Jinora is the most like Aang.

2017-10-27 16:38:32 +0000 UTC
In the past, humans were forced onto the backs of the Lion Turtles by the spirits, but only because they didn't live in harmony with them. The Air Nomads were able to walk in the Spirit Wilds unharmed, because they were at peace with nature. Now, the rest of the world needs to figure out how to coexist with the spirits.

Nothing quite like an episode of Avatar to get the emotions going.
Books 3 and 4 are where things get serious and real, and there WILL be consequences.

That is just headcanon. Consensus or not. Which I don't think there is.

I'd love everything about this episode if it wasn't for the major rule breaking day did in this episode

Can't wait for next book
Andrew Reise

I've always felt that Korra losing her connection to the past Avatars was the shows way of telling the viewer that they're done with the past. That it's time to move on and look to the future.

I'm pretty sure Roku in season 2 episode 1 of Avatar the Last Airbender, said that the Avatar State allows the current avatar to tap into the past Avatar's skills, allowing the current one to do amazing feats that the last avatars have learned when they were alive. That's why Aang was able to create that giant tornado of water in the first episode despite never learning how to actually waterbend.

Love this season it’s my second favorite for Korra but I will admit that season 3 has the best villain hands down
Kito Brown
2017-10-27 14:51:17 +0000 UTC
Season 3 has by far one of the best villain in my opinion
2017-10-27 14:48:58 +0000 UTC
Book 3 is hands down my favorite season!
Gezno
2017-10-27 14:48:54 +0000 UTC
I think the general consensus of the fanbase is that Jinora went back and got the teapot in which Raava was stored at one point. Iroh did say that you could practically "taste" her light with every cup.
But I can admit that wasn't seeded properly in the story. The giant Korra, eh, IDK, it never really bothered me and I think someone in this thread explained it pretty well. I will accept anyone saying that they are deus ex machinas tho but to be fair, they aren't as jarring as the lion turtle from Aangs book three. At least not to me.
This book is definitely the worst out of Korra's series but it has great moments and some of the best episodes among them (Wan).
Can't wait for Book 3! It's my favorite book!
2017-10-27 14:41:01 +0000 UTC
oooooo you guys are gonna love book 3!! i can't wait :D

the season finale may have jumped the shark a liiiittle bit, but I wouldn't say it's completely without value. I think it at least paved the path for what would become an ultimately much stronger series.

Brandon Elie
2017-10-27 14:26:14 +0000 UTC
this finale was a joke. None of it made sense, Ginora had to save Korra? With what? how? Korra beat Vaatu with just her higher being? But Vaatu beat Korra with all of her past lives? It doesn't make sense in the slightest.
Roy Lohman
2017-10-27 14:08:13 +0000 UTC
Yes everyone was essentially taking advantage of the fact that Harmonic Convergence was amping up the spiritual power. It’s why they had to rush back before it was done for Korra and Raava to fuse, it’s something that would’ve been impossible to do outside of that. As was all the other feats accomplished during this time.
2017-10-27 14:07:40 +0000 UTC
The Avatar state is the power of Raava. Which allows the wielder to use all four elements and hold unimaginable power. The reason it was a defense mechanism to Aang was because Aang didn't knew how to use it and master it until he grew up. The connection is broken but the sports has always been the same, they all are one spirit one person, they just had the ability to connect with their past lives, their past selves. But it's not like Aang is different from Rooku, and Kyoshi, etc... They are all the same spirit, one person who keeps reincarnating.

Sunny Morgans
2017-10-27 13:55:30 +0000 UTC
Not sure if this was confirmed or not, but I always felt that what Korra did was a mix of her own spirit, Harmonic Convergence, and the tree of time all being used to let Korra harness cosmic energy and empower her giant spirit form.

Aang was not a good advisor anyways.
2017-10-27 13:31:00 +0000 UTC
I agree. I think Avatar Spirit was the combined souls/spirits of Raava and Wan and the Avatar State was their unified power. As each Avatar passed away their knowledge and energy were added to the Avatar Spirit, making it stronger with each Avatar, which fits with what Roku said in the original series. It can’t just be Raava alone IMO, because that defeats the purpose of the message that the Avatar is special because of both human and spirit. Vaatu underestimating that and thinking only Raava was important was why he lost to Wan before and Korra this time.
Jjop017
2017-10-27 13:23:40 +0000 UTC
I think the Avatar spirit its own spirit thats different from Ravaa, I mean there's clearly a difference between Ravaa just being inside a human(wan) and the human spirit and Ravaa spirit actually fusing using the harmonic convergence. If that isn't the case then, why the need for Harmonic convergence.
So the Avatar state isn't really Ravaa taking control.
I see it more as how Gogeta and Vegito from DBZ function, they behave as their own individuals though having traits from both Vegeta and Goku
