Fuck the haters, Korra was great

it felt like a lot of it was good to great outlines but when it came to writing in the details it got really sloppy.

>he ending with Korra being completely broken was genuinely powerful.
It would be if I liked the character. On the surface it may emulate quality but many of the "good" moments don't feel earned by proper character development and plot build up. I'm not going to lie and say the finale was a shitfest. On its own there are actually some high points. My problem is how the finale is presented in context with all the other bad writing. I didn't really post the comic for any particular reason, I just find the image funny.

You're right, I'm just looking at the finale by itself here. I actually remember wishing I cared more during the s3 finale, because on its own it was quite good.

Season 1 okay-ish
Season 2 garbage
Season 3 kino
Season 4 garbage but it had good villain

Where were these designs when coming up with Korra's allies?
I wish that firebending mugger picked up the spares.

The problem with Korra that each season have great build up and ideas but the ending was so bad.

> 1st season: Mysterious villian created conflict between non-bender and bender. Great. Show nothing of that instead follow Korra bending tournament and romance plot that go no where.

> 2nd season: New awesome characters, origin of the avatar, Aang family stuff. Good. Generic villain that got too many screen time and all boil down to a big fight.

> 3rd season: Great villains introduction and keep building them up. Good. Retarded plan at the end.

these guys and Amon were good...
then we had the dark avatar, the spirit world plot and the confusing last season.

Season 1 and 3 are alright the rest is garbage and Korra is not very likeable.

fuck the Korra, the lewds are great.

very edgy desu

The entire series was wasted potential. I was a mark for it to.

Korra was a great piece of shit, thank you for understanding.

>this one season of Korra was great
fixed this for you

how are they treating Prince Wu in the comics? He was my favorite part of the last season, I really loved how it turned out in the end he was actually a natural leader that the citizens unquestioningly listened to who improvised ingenious ways to evacuate the city

Suyin is legitimate fucking cancer and I can't comprehend how the showrunners couldn't seem to realize it

no

>was genuinely powerful.
of course you had to make it a political statement immediately.

Well I'm glad they're not pulling some bullshit where Korra and Asami get a wedge driven between them over this

But I'm immediately feeling like they're gonna get punked, by Kuvira or someone else. This unanimous trust and support can't go without things getting fucked

What kind of a world do you live in where you think calling writing powerful is a political term? That's just wrong and foolish

This is the first time he's appeared. And Yea Forums isn't about to spend money on these comics so you have to wait to find out like the rest of us.

But you like someone being good at something without effort?

Only good thing in Season 3? That metal death they had.

What the actual fuck did Kuvira do wrong? All I saw was an advanced state conquering territory not some evil empire bullshit the show is trying to make you view it as.

>origin of the avatar
>good
you're joking right, the Wan shit was retarded though

The re-education camps and purges and press hanging of conquered towns were shitty moves but not completely unreasonable considering the absolute mess she took on

I don't get the hate for Suyin. She isn't crowned as this paragon of goodness in the series and she does get punished when she fucks up (sent out of RC by her mom, loses her city to and gets thrown into jail by Kuvira.) Her hypocritical behavior concerning Kuvira is an intentional part of her character, considering how similarly she reacted when betrayed by Aiwei. It's likely that she saw the same in Kuvira. Kuvira and Suyin are implied to have a strained relationship despite the "family'" ties they supposedly had (which I do think should have been explored more. This might be Nick's fault, however, E8 was supposed to touch on this but had to be cut.) I don't see how LoK glorified Suyin's behavior.

>sent out of republic city
Where she travels the world on adventures before settling down in her own little Rapture, forming a loving family, and reconciling with her mother. You can’t begrudge her for making her way in the world and finding success but calling it repercussions is just daft

I’d happily type out more of the reasoning for my autistic hate of this character but I need to leave so maybe later

No it wasn’t. It was bad and deserved exactly as much ire as it got. Just because you have no standards doesn’t mean everything is good.

Shes a cheeky cunt that got away with being a criminal scumbag while her law following sister is a pass expiration drought.
>I was a pirate in my youth sis
>Yh I totally didnt kill people when I was a pirate
>teehee

>What the actual fuck did Kuvira do wrong?
Her story is the embodiment of the term absolute power corrupts absolutely. She started as a more benevolent figure who took on the helm of the restoration movement and all the responsibility that it entailed but became more militant as she acquired more and more power. She started forcing states to sign over their autonomy to her directly, propped up camps as a result of paranoia, mobilized her army to seize the bordering independent country (that had helped put her in power in the first place), funded the construction of WMD.
She is praised for helping to unite the earth nation again, it's just that she fell down the slippery slope doing so.

It was good in the beginning, then it became utter shit later

Wrong. Season 3 was the reason why I stopped watching the shite show. It was utter dogshit

In an alternate world, if Bryke knew from the start that they were going to do four seasons, and had brought on other writers with them as well, Korra would have been a 10/10. It suffered from not being as tightly planned, so the stakes and momentum go all over the place from season to season. I still love it, but I feel like I love it for what it could have been rather than the actual product we received.
It was one of the last proper Saturday morning action cartoons we’ll probably ever get. And I do miss that at least.

>Fuck the logic
>Stuff I don't think about is great!

FTFY, OP

No, fuck you! Korra was hot garbage that killed the Avatar franchise and then pissed on the grave.

I don't understand how you can watch S3 and not like it. Good from beginning to end, and Suyin is how you do a side-character correctly. I know brainlets can't handle a believably flawed character.

The writers forgot that being a dictator isn't a bad thing, so they failed to show anything bad.

Bryke knew they were getting season 3 and 4 while 2 was airing so they could have made something decent. They failed.

Avatar worked because Aang didn't have all the elements and was fighting a giant army. Korra failed because she mastered all her elements and the Avatar state in season 1, and every villain was so much weaker than her. No amount of tweaking the script can fix this.

Unironically better than any analysis I've seen on Yea Forums for 5 years

Yeah, except that wasn't a problem at all. They kept the fights exciting and the villains threatening. e.g. Not much Korra can do if the Red Lotus take her while she is sleeping, that is a good escalation. The problem with Korra is episodes like Beginnings otherwise it's fine.

It had unlikable protagonists with no chemistry between them and no motivation for being there, boring worldbuilding, implausible antagonist motivation and shitty plot in which the protagonists do not act, but merely flail around aimlessly as things happen to them, usually making things worse. It may have been better than the other seasons, but it was still shit.

>They kept the fights exciting and the villains threatening
Only by making Korra retarded. Had she gone into the Avatar state immediately they would have been crushed instantly.

>Korra can do if the Red Lotus take her while she is sleeping
Something that never happened.

>The problem with Korra is episodes like Beginnings otherwise it's fine.
No the whole plot is terrible. At the start of season 1 Korra was as powerful as Aang after 2 seasons and by the end of season 1 Korra was as strong as Aang after 3 seasons. That made it impossible to have any villains that could challenge her. Even Unalaq only had the Avatar state and 1 element, while Korra had the Avatar state and all 4 elements.

>Had she gone into the Avatar state immediately
And they would have immediately killed her, Avatar State gives incredibly power but it's also
>Where you are most vulnerable.

>Something that never happened.
..?

>That made it impossible to have any villains that could challenge her
But they could challenge her. The Red Lotus were literally seconds away from murdering her in the S3 finale.

>It had unlikable protagonists with no chemistry between them
B3 was when the protagonists were at their best, actually. Good interaction. No drama.
>no motivation
er gathering airbenders? Seeing family in Ba Sing Se?
>boring worldbuilding
Like?
>implausible antagonist motivation
... Do you want me to explain it for you?
>the protagonists do not act, but merely flail around aimlessly as things happen to them
The protagonists were at their most active in this season. e.g. Immediately following up on the Red Lotus assault with their own investigation and tracking, no dillydallying with anything they're doing and the cast was shown more competence than the other seasons combined.

It was a great season.

what is the point of avatar if one trained fucker can quite easily take them on. I don't remember any creative usage of powers from kora, nothing that would take advantage of having every element at her disposal.

>And they would have immediately killed her
No they wouldn't since she would have overpowered them.

>But they could challenge her.
Because she fought like a retard.

>The Red Lotus were literally seconds away from murdering her in the S3 finale.
Because Korra didn't enter the Avatar state immediately when she first fought them, which resulted in her getting captured.

Also even when poisoned she was able to beat them.

>B3 was when the protagonists were at their best
Their best was still shit.

>gathering airbenders?
Tenzin's rather luke-warm motivation. The rest are merely tagging along because they have nothing better to do.

>Seeing family in Ba Sing Se?
Wow, what an adventure.

>boring worldbuilding
>Like?
Just about everything. The original series had mystery, magic, exciting places and cultures, a sense of discovery. Korra... Korra sucked the life out of that, leaving a gray and boring shell.

>The protagonists were at their most active in this season
Yes, they were very actively flailing aimlessly as things happened to them, generally making things worse.

>the cast was shown more competence than the other seasons combined
And yet, they came off as incompetent idiots who should have just stayed home and let someone more competent deal with it.

>Good interaction. No drama
Very few interactions.

>gathering airbenders?
Which failed until they found some who had literally been enslaved.

>Seeing family in Ba Sing Se?
By random chance.

>Like?
The whole season lacked anything new.

>Do you want me to explain it for you?
Yes.

>Immediately following up on the Red Lotus assault
That's reactive, not proactive.

>no dillydallying with anything they're doing
All they were doing was trying to find the Red Lotus, which proved to be pointless since the Red Lotus eventually attacked them.

>the cast was shown more competence than the other seasons combined.
Korra was useless in battle despite having the Avatar state and all 4 elements.

>No they wouldn't since she would have overpowered them.
>goes Avatar State while drugged with bison-stopping-poison
>immediately blown up by P'Li or spiked by Ming-Hua
>end of the Avatar Cycle

Why samefag? And what do you want me to do here? Go over every point? You're misremembering the season if you think Tenzin's motivation was "luke-warm" or that Bolin/Mako finding their family was accidental when that was what they specifically wanted to do. Rewatch the season, it was phenomenal and a much better watch than most other Yea Forums media. Obviously not perfection.

It's been several years since you watched the actual season and remember stuff mostly from those critical Korra youtube rants, right?

>Rewatch the season
>It's been several years since you watched the actual season and remember stuff mostly from those critical Korra youtube rants, right?
I watched seasons 2,3 and 4 while they were airing. I do not recall watching any youtube rants. All of Korra was fucking garbage and I regret watching it. I would pay good money to unsee it. Not because I want the time I wasted back, but because it was so fucking terrible that years later I am still mad about it. There is no way in hell that I'm rewatching any of that steaming pile of shit.

You promised me Korra.

Imagine being this user

Season 3 was as good as Season 1, which isn't really that impressive.

Why is there no black people in it?

He's right, you know.

Okay, just purchased the new comic for fucking 2 dollars
Should I storytime it here or a new thread?

it was an accident

You should burn it, then it would be worth something as it would provide warmth.

New thread

New thread, then wipe your ass with it.

S3 > S1 > S4 = S2

No it wasn’t.

Based user. Suyin is shit. Absolute trash. Got away with all her flaws and bullshit, and ruined Toph as a character for me.

gimme a second, stripping DRM

Korra was good. But even as a fan I can admit: it could have been better. The small things that stopped it from becoming better then it’s predecessor is what causes the autismos on this board to chimp out. But even their fedora flipping won’t stop me from liking it.

I remember disliking Mako for the first two seasons and then somewhere in the third I realized he was actually /myguy/ and the only likable person in the main group
