[stultiloquentia]

Oh my god, this is stunning.

[chaila]

I love this! I love how you tied some of the current events Korra faces to history, like Aang first taking bending and that having ramifications in Korra's world. And then Aang and Korra both use the same concept in a positive way, to restore bending. There's a great sense of long history and the struggles of past Avatars, which is really awesome.

[batrachian]

This...brilliant...cannot even words.

One of my fave songs in the first place. and then, vid. story. fits so perfectly.

Amazing. Thank you.

[randomling]

That is incredibly beautiful. Lovely job!

[thingswithwings]

This is so gorgeous! I love Korra so much more after watching it, I can't even tell you. What a perfect song choice for this theme! I didn't know that I wanted fanworks exploring this idea of reincarnation so badly, gosh. Love it.

God, this is WONDERFUL, and WHAT A SONG CHOICE

[eruthros]

This is beautiful!

[beccastareyes]

Very nice. I like the use of clips comparing Korra and Aang.

[opusculasedfera]

Fantastic! I loved the song choice, and I really like how you showed Aang's imperfections. Korra has to live up to his example in some ways, but he screwed things up too; she's different, not an imperfect copy.

[staranise]

Now I am having feelings, about the constant struggle, "How long?" and how you have to do what's in front of you. It makes me think of Galdalf: It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.

[hesychasm]

Excellent vid! You really brought out the struggle Korra feels to live up to the other Avatars, but also the conflict of the messy world they left her -- particularly Aang. Great use of clips and movements which echo and parallel each other, to reinforce themes of reincarnation and repetition.

[cosmic_llin]

Ah, I love this! Perfect song.

[attackfish]

This, oh my God, this perfect thing! "And now I'm serving time for mistakes/Made by another in another lifetime" Perfect song, perfect execution. I want to cuddle up with this vid.

[d_generate_girl]

This is so utterly perfect - perfect song, perfect clips, perfect overarching theme. I think I may have screamed when you paralleled Aang and Ozai, Aang and Yakone, and Amon and Lin, the themes of loss and defeat, "what measure is removing one's bending?". And oh, the friendship clips, with the Gaang and Korra with her friends.

[kouredios]

Oh my goodness. I only just now was able to get away and check the com, and this is the first thing I saw. I am so stunned that this beautiful vid is for me! Its perfection has me in tears, seriously. The movement between the two shows, the immaculate pairing of clips and lyric. And the Indigo Girls! Oh my heart, this is amazing, and I'm going to watch it over and over and over. Thank you so much! <3

[lovepeaceohana]

Oh my goodness, I really liked this. I've yet to see LoK but it still really resonates, and the song choice is just so perfect!

[ex_rising236]

This? This is BEAUTIFUL. This is ART.

[calvinahobbes]

Oh my gosh, this is lovely. It gave me chills! Especially the connection you make between Korra's fire-bending issues and Avatar Roku's 'crashing' amazed me.

[unjapanologist]

Yessss perfect thing.

[troisroyaumes]

Such an excellent vid! I really like the way you set up parallels between Aang and Korra here.

[extrapenguin]

Late to the party, but: this is an excellent vid! I especially love the parallelling of Korra learning the ~airbending moves~ with Aang airbending. And the bit with the yin-yang fish. And all the bending displays and Avatar states at the end! Love the choice of music – it's very avatar spirit-y.
