Avatar the Last Airbender is a masterpiece and I will never be convinced otherwise.
Hope you enjoyed this original Katara song by myself and ‪@FrostudioChambersonic‬ !! I’m SO EXCITED to release it, I’ve been working on this project for ages and am so proud of it! Naturally I usually do covers so putting out an original song is always nerve wracking, so if you enjoyed please do drop a comment/share! (This isnt meant to be a villain song btw for anyone confused)
I really wanted to explore that moment just after Katara learnt to bloodbend and what her emotional state might be. This is arguably the darkest story arch in ATLA and I wish we got a few more episodes on it to see the effect it had on her! So this was the next best thing for me, write a song and play around with it!
LYRICS:
These hands they don’t feel like mine
Spirit deep inside escapes it confines and I’m running out of time
Don’t know if I can hold it back
From the swathes and scores it wants to attack
I can’t hold it back
My only purpose
Was to protect
Those I love and care for
This powers tainted
Can’t restrain it
It wants vengeance and war
If I’d had power
All those years ago
What could I restore?
Could I have saved you?
What have I become
Who would save me
What have I become
What have you made me
Look how far you’ve come
Stronger than the sea
As weakness fills my lungs
And I’m scared of me
Once the waters edge felt safe
Now the waves they roar and rage
Mother water and I am her daughter those waves run in me
Currents rush and race and seethe
Righteous anger here to feed
And I have control
Bend and fold
This whole world
I will mould
I’ll make their blood run cold
My only purpose
Was to protect
Those I love and care for
This powers tainted
Can’t restrain it
It wants vengeance and war
I must remember what I fight for!
What have I become
Who would save me
What have I become
What have you made me
Look how far you’ve come
Stronger than the sea
As weakness fills my lungs
And I’m scared of me
My gran would tell me stories
Of peace before this war
Where everyone was happy
And knew what they lived life for
She told me there was one
Who would unite them all
A shining son would come
And that’s all she foresaw
What part am I supposed to play?
Am I the storm?
Will I be
The Villain
This power
Unbidden
If I send a wave to you will it drown me too?
What have I become
What have I become
What have I
What have I
What have I
What have I become

Katara is afraid that she's a monster. That being a Bloodbender is something that's inherently evil, and now, she's corrupted. But, she isn't. The representation of her rage and trauma DIDN'T drag her down to the depths. She is going to struggle with it, likely for a very long time, but, she won't become a monster like Hama was.

This is very much NOT a villain song, but, it's Katara's fear. Fear of her own rage, fear of becoming just another killer. Fear that Bloodbending is inherently evil and that by using it, regardless of WHY, she, in turn, Is Evil. This feels like part of a story. And we see that conclusion in the episode where the confronts her mother's killer, and ends up Bloodbending the wrong guy, but spares him, and deliberately doesn't kill her mother's murderer. She doesn't forgive him. She's never going to forgive him. But she is not a monster. She is more than her trauma. And, even if out of sheer spite, seeing this man brought so low, she intends to rise and be BETTER.

If you think about it, what must have really deeply affected Katara wasn’t just simply mastering blood bending, but learning that such a dark, demonic skill actually existed within water bending. Her whole life she loved water bending and cursed fire bending, never knowing she was practically capable of much worse. I mean, it’s one thing to burn someone, but to tear their muscles & organs apart, fix them and tear apart them again, not to mention being able to make people hurt or kill others against their will?

@franco-golpeador2435 3 ай бұрын

Still you can use firebnsing to health wounds to the soul since its basically energy bending. The thing is, the only way you are going to get an injure like that is by going to the spirit world and fighting a spirit or by pissing the hell out of a primordial guardian spirit that can cross to the real world and curse you in a way that isnt their domain(aka the mother of faces removing their face)

This is very similar. People often have one of their favorite scenes be one of the heros most dangerous or painful struggles; not because they enjoy someone being in danger or pain, but because they enjoy the effort gone into creating such a horrible scene, and all the care put into it so that we as the reader/watcher CARE what happens to these heros.

The puppetmaster was the scariest & one of my favorites of S3 especially for Katara's arc! She finally found another Southern water tribe bender to bond with only to be betrayed as Hama lost her way fighting for freedom. This whole project is beautiful. All her rage, pain & trauma now being pushed to bloodbending. She won the battle but let all of it rise again in Southern Raiders.

The feeling I'm getting from this song is that she fears the new power she learned because of the damage it can do to someone. This is similar to what Aang had to battle with when it came to fire the difference is instead of burning people you could twist their limbs or cause their entire cardiovascular system to self destruct on itself. Towards the end she learns to accept herself and the new power.

This is an amazing take on Katara struggling with her inner demons only to be drowned by the monster she has become. 0w0

@andrewalker6050 5 ай бұрын

Katara was deeply afraid of what she would become when she learned to blood bend. Power often corrupts unless tampered with humility and humanity. Everyone has to face their inner demons in their life. Bravo! Miraculous singing! Katara is beautiful, strong, smart, and incredibly resilient! 💪💦🌊🤩😍💕⭐👍

This is one of my fav avatar episode so getting to see a song for Katara when she learns blood bending is amazing ❤ Seeing her struggle with the fact that she has this terrifying power turned and it’s into a beautiful song

i have probably watched this almost 10 times already in the 2 days its been, this is amazing. this is making me want to see a what if story of katara going bad and giving into vengeance, like not holding back on her moms killer.

Another amazing song! Something I would love to see in the future is a Queen Poppy from Trolls as she is the most positive character and I think you would kill it with turning a cheery song into a villain song maybe something upbeat as well!, especially with the backstory of the Trolls being eaten.

OML I just relized something if you look at 3:24-3:31 you see that both Katara’s in a way swapped personality’s for a moment! Katara is trying to kill blood bending Katara with anger on her face while Bloodbending Katara is trying to stop her.😦 Ngl this video is awesome!😎

And then when she gets out of the water, she seems normal, until the last panel where her expression changed anf she looks like blood bending Katara.

@gottastitchitup3930 5 ай бұрын

This was an amazing song 😍 i loved every minute of it. I know its supposed to be a villain song but its so good and in my opinion fits thr narrative of the last season very well. You got to see her be moody and hold a huge grudge against Zuko when everyone else accepted him. And than just how angry and how far she was willing to go to find her mothers killer to the point where she used blood bending. A power she swore she would never use. Just chef kisses perfect song.

@samanthanagano5288 4 ай бұрын

I was always a little disappointed that they didn't really follow up on this. They did bring it back in the Southern Raiders episode and in Korra, but they never really talked about how becoming a blood bender affected her and the next episode starts without even mentioning it. Idk maybe it was purposeful, I was just sad to see it not utilized in the plot very much. Really good song and animation tho :)

You deserve all the likes and views this video is getting!!!! I love your voice, it's just so melodic. Keep the great work up I seriously can't wait to see what else you do 😍😍😍

@brigittegill808 5 ай бұрын

This interpretation of Katara's emotions after learning bloodbending reaffirms my feelings that Katara should have ended up with Zuko and not Aang. I always felt like Aang was too much a pacificist (which isnt a bad thing) for Katara. She needed someone like Zuko who was willing to entertain her anger and more negative emotions (like when he helped her find and confront the man who killed her mother). Zuko's own anger and need to express the more negative side of himself would have balanced Katara out and she would have balanced him out in turn. Aang was too focused on shutting down anger and fear, almost smothering it instead of feeling it. Sure that works for some people, but I dont think Aang realized it wasnt a healthy way for everybody to live.

@Sasuhinagirl1 5 ай бұрын

I totally agree with you! I also felt she had more in common with Zuko, with their shared traumas, and had more similarities of their family structures. It's harder to relate to someone when they had a completely different family structure from you.

@chriscjongeneelen2960 5 ай бұрын

Ok, this could represent the one hero npcs inner conflict with their inner darkness after the encounter with the blood bending witch in ATLA canon lore, though it’s all in their mind, just saying is all!?!? Also if anyone read the fan series “ distorted reality “ this could represent the dark alternate temporarily fighting their good alternate universe variant of themselves, also if you take that series into consideration as well…
