This last gif is actually really cool when you consider that Kuvira bent the meteor rock (the ferrous fluid) as if it were just a soft metal - while Korra is bending it like water because she’s trained in water bending and knows how to do that. In the words of Guru Pathik: “If you open your mind, you will see that all the elements are one. Four parts of the same whole.” To the Avatar, why can’t rock be water?
Korra is that bitch. Period.
And there’s also the fact that the liquefied meteorite resembles the mercury that Zaheer used to poison her.
When I first saw that scene I thought ‘holy shit this is gonna trigger her ptsd’
But no she was able to keep it together and deflect it effortlessly.
