its pretty bad
the main character is a complete retard whose only redeeming factor is how hot she is

What was 'the legend of korra' anyway? Was it the harmonic convergence?

The show repeatedly flounders its best ideas by contradicting, telling not showing or getting bored and replacing them with worse, albeit more instantly gratifying, ideas. The creators also wanted to push the idea that social-democracy is the best form of politics. But it never really explains why. It just is, because it is. So, the villains are never really proven wrong. They're just made out to be hypocrites and mad men. Wasting hours of build-up. Also, Bryke really don't understand anarchy.

fpbp and reminder that a guy character has to succeed against all odds to be a decent character but a girl has to only be quirky and pretty to look at to lead a show.

She did everything wrong including kill the series and this was after surviving M.Night. At least she's hot, though.

Yea Forums is obviously super pathological about LoK. But the show honestly isn't worth fighting for. It was a massive waste of resources put in the hands of mediocre writers. So fuck it.

Season 3 is pretty good and I'd put it on the same level as ATLA (at least in terms of its highs) and S4 was decent, but 1+2 really shit the bed. I was kinda surprised at how it managed to right itself after such a rocky start.

Korra's underrated

Attached: watchingyou-korra.gif (800x450, 3.14M)

Wasted potential. More so considering the groundwork that came before it. Korra has the potential to be a more compelling character. Not even being ironic here.

she really isnt though
she's a useless idiot and deserves the shit she gets

If we lived in the universe where it stayed as a one season mini series I would totally agree but season 2 absolutely fucked the show in oblivion and it never recovered after that.

Korra suffers from the same problem Aang suffered - it's stuck in kiddie tropes while trying to tell a mature story. In both it fucked up the ending, but Korra is way shorter, so it ruined the entire thing 3 times over.

I'm only noticing now that her turning around is only one frame and looks choppy as hell as a result.

I still remember when the first season was going and some people already started saying Korra was far better then Aang cause Aang sorta bordered on Mary Sue while Korra had actual faults and personality.

Boy, if only they knew what we know now.

The characters are weak in charism to the point that had to bring back a character from ATLA pretty every season, with the exception of varrick

Reminder that Azula is canonically the mother of Zuko’s daughter
Mai is worst girl

The funniest part is that only president Raiko is a democratically elected official.
The others are monarchs, chiefs, or self-appointed “matriarchs”.

There was also nothing about appointing Prince Wu that suggested he would dispose of his royal power for democracy, in fact it just looked like Suyin and Raiko wanted an idiotic, inexperienced puppet to rule through a la Long Feng.

Are you seriously complaining about how hard it is for a fictonal male character to lead a show and how unfair it is because fictional females have it easier........?

All hate stems from Wan episodes
>ruined spirits

>destroyed past lives
Korra being a bit obnoxious and bi-curious is nothing in compariosn, though Bryke should never try to write a love triangle ever again.

I agree with you they shouldn't have destroyed the past what were they thinking. what makes think they ruined bending and spirts can you explain why you think so?

>All hate stems from Season 2
ftfy

Stop me if you're heard this one before

Great production value, great art, fantastic music, terrible fucking writing

LoK and Last Airbender were both 8/10 cartoons.

Lok could have been better but relationship drama and the second season held the show back.

Last Airbender was held back by the ending.

What was worng with the end of atla

Even in the third and forth season, the writing is off. We're always told that Kuvira is a bad person and we don't know the extent of that, until the show jumps the shark and has Kuvira use her mecha maid to try and take over. We only see a glimpse of her evil actions, when Kuvira threatens Bolin. Every second of Korra being beaten and tortured is pushed. When Tensin had the dignity of the camera looking away. Suyin is consistently and an intolerable character, even when the show wants us to believe that she's right. All the villains, that Bryke considered important, got redeemed. There's way more that I'm not remembering right now.

>Korra is a massive "Mary Sue"
>the technological jump was WAY too big
>Aaron Ehaz was sorely missed in LoK.

>The Dark Avatar was a thing

Nah, it's pretty shit

The writing is pretty bad. It's definitely below mediocre and toward bad territory. Which is so sad considering the quality everywhere else in the production. But that's what you get when you try to cut corners and save money.

Weird way to spell retarded

>Aang
>Mary Sue
Fuck off

The Wan episodes were midichlorians all over again - too much explaining ruins the magic.

yea because nick thought SpongeBob needed more money in its huge budget

Not that user but personally spirits and bending in general changed in a way that weren't satisfying.
It makes spirit a lot less grounded and based on real life animals and went for a more whimsical route kinda like ghibli. It also xeno-fises them, Making them invaders from another dimension makes them feel like aliens rather then spirits.
For bending Its a smaller issue but it makes bending more magical. We go from a form of martial arts with elemental accent learned from natural sources becoming a gift from deities.
It all "technically" works in the story but all feels slightly wrong.

To add onto this, bending is hardly shown as an elegant martial arts form. Instead, it's merely just waving your hands around with the Force on a few objects based on element.

...

The entire lead up to the finale and the finale itself is entirely centered around the ethical dilemma Aang faces - does he hold steadfast in the face of duty and kill the Firelord or does he stay true to his beliefs and risk a continuation of the war by allowing him to live? A difficult decision to make and one which should have no easy out.

Instead Aang stumbles upon a magic lion turtle who gives him the power to completely bypass the dilemma entirely.

That Beifong woman and Aang’s son should have been together

They were... and then they weren't. Because apparently Lin decided she didn't want kids... which is kind of a non-starter for a man who was literally the last of his people at the time.

The whole Aang learns energy bending from the rock turtle felt like a cop out.

I also got a bit annoyed with how the writers handled Aang's pacifism in the final season. I understand that he wanted to keep his principles but Ozai needed and deserved to be put down.

I know and it’s lame as fuck
Fucking COCKTEASE

After she cried to get her powers back, I gave up.

I didn't mind the concept of Korra finally being able to open up to her past lives after hitting rock bottom... but I think it's something that would have felt more appropriate near the end of a series rather than the end of a first season.

We did get the best characters. The rich dude and the twins. That lead to comic relief character being the best character of Korra.

>tfw no Eska gf
Bolin was a fag

>is not that bad
i see it as kind of similar in quality to fallout 3 or 4. if you just want something kind of brainless but fun, it's fine, the action can be fun and the humor can be snappy. but the instant you start dissecting it not only on the merits of its franchise, but also on its own merits, it completely falls apart. thinking about anything is antithetical to the enjoyment of the show.
>everyone in team avatar is pointless since korra overshadows all of their combat abilities meaning their only purpose is the character interactions, which the writers decided would be a love rectangle. it takes entire seasons for this to be even touched upon and it's never solved especially for asami which stings in particular considering the non-bender of the last group was arguably the most indispensable member save for aang. this is also not helped by the fact that this new cast is painfully boring with some minor standouts who don't get nearly as much screentime as chumps like mako.
>korra's character is based around being physically strong but mentally and spiritually weak. this is a fine concept but they butcher it every single time by making the villains initially ideologically focused before turning them into 1 dimensional evil dudes who the solution to beating is punching them in the face, only for korra to then fail at punching them in the face so she needs to be saved by some deus ex machina bullshit every single season, meaning she never has to improve anything about herself, which is frustrating as fuck.
>literally everything about spirits and spirituality. there aren't enough characters in the world to fit it all in. they fuck up so much in so little time it's actually impressive.
and so on and so on to more obvious points like how the plots of a lot of seasons suck, or how many of them stagnate in the middle with no real progression, all the filler, too many new characters that don't get screentime, and every single frame of season 2.

where is the art of asami and korra double teaming jinora and indoctrinating her into lesbianism

The purest form of love is similar age incest for the sole purpose of procreation

Aang gets cornered into a bizarre false dilemma which only seems to stem from the way they decided to drop Ozai's character down a hole at the start of the finale. Why couldn't Aang just beat him and imprison him? It's not like he'd be all that difficult to deal with after the comet and being wrekt at the once in a hundred year peak of his power would certainly demoralize the shit out of him. They had to make up this whole post-facto excuse that Ozai was even more super ultra insane than they realized and Zuko never told anyone about it.

Plus they felt it necessary to rob Zuko of his win for no reason other than giving Katara something to do during the finale.

This is true, but where it really matters Korra has Legend of Aang beat.

>Why couldn't Aang just beat him and imprison him
Well, he kind of did.

>they felt it necessary to rob Zuko of his win
He was always weaker than Azula since they were children. It would feel out of place for him to win, honestly. Tough it is also out of place how Katara could win.

Gotta love how Amon went full retard and instead of just swimming he had to fucking bend like a sperg and blow his cover.

Good job idiot.

This scene happens because she expect her word to be law due to her being the Avatar(in the city WITH THE AVATAR STATUE AT THE FRONT OF IT) and supprise....she is in a place where she is not treated as a demigod.

Honestly, he didn't even blow his cover. Why did people assume he is Amon? he wasn't wearing his mask at the time, and nobody catch the beginning of that fight.

They had to end the story and nick wouldn't let them kill the fire lord because its its tv 7 show itdoes kind of suck but there was no other way to do it. they couldn't even show jets death let alone have Aang kill someone.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure that was an instinctive thing. He went bowling out of the window pretty fast thanks to Korra.

Yes, put big tits on a character and everyone has a million fanart drawings of it. Pathetic.

Eh. It's still bad writing. He worked that long and that hard to get his stupid plan together and he blows it in minutes.

Not to mention his WIND was blown out of his lungs.

LoK is the fucking bane of my existence. Every time people discuss this show I have to be reminded that I will never have se with korra. I will never lick her abs. I will never turn her into the docile breeding sow she was so obviously meant to be. Her perfect brown body will never soften as she gives birth to child after child, growing increasingly neglectful of her avatar duties as she devotes all of her time to being barefoot and pregnant. I hate this. Why must I live with this torment.

Oh....a human character showing human faults? How could we not turn him into some faultless marry sue.

>Well, he kind of did.

Except instead of coming to the conclusion on his own and accepting that there may be consequences down the road, he gets handed magic anti-consequence powers that remove all the stakes from the already contrived dilemma.

>He was always weaker than Azula since they were children

That's the entire point. He WAS weaker than Azula throughout the entire show, but he's been growing stronger as he overcame his internal conflicts while Azula had been falling apart from hers. Zuko finally defeating her would've really cemented that.

They could've just thrown him in a stone box after the comet and then dumped him in an ice prison like the one they put combustion amazon.

>you guys are only angry cause your theories are proven wrong
Fuck you and fuck this stupid ass attitude I'm seeing literally everywhere. "OH YOU JUST DIDN'T LIKE GAME OF THRONES/STAR WARS/KORRA BECAUSE YOUR HEADCANON WASN'T PROVEN." Like some fucking how it's our fault as the audience that the writers completely dropped the fucking ball in progressing the characters, narrative or just holding a story together. Do I care that my headcanon for the Avatar's origins isn't true? No, I didn't even really have one when I was a kid, I just accepted that it was a thing that existed in the world. But now that thing that exists in the world has this completely fucked, nonsensical, balls to the wall laser beam firing completely pants on head retarded explanation that makes no sense in its own context or in the context of Avatar and somehow that's OUR fault? Imagine it getting explained to you that all the weird animal hybrids were the result of an ancient sacrificial ritual where the blood of all animals was pooled together and poured into an erupting volcano, then the rocks of that volcano became animals. Does that sound like something that makes any sense? Would you like that in an Avatar story? Well fuck you, that's YOUR fault because you're just mad your headcanon wasn't proven to be true. It's not the fault of the writers for making something fucking asinine, you as a consumer have no right to be angry that the product you've been invested in for fucking years has gone to shit because people got their heads up their own asses and think they're smarter than they are. But you and your fucking ilk are so desperate to have your shit taste and sunk cost validated that you look for any excuse to put the blame anywhere else. You fucking piece of shit. You're the reason why writing has gotten so bad and so lazy, people don't even have to try and defend themselves anymore because faggots like you come out of the woodworks to white knight for these talentless hacks.

Thank you once again Nuclear Kermit

The stroy writtin is weak and I am not going to dodge that bullet. But its weak do to the production not the actual writing. Also you forget that all we had in AtlA is myths which are retold by 50th sage of some other human spirit who's marry sue level has been raised to 11. In Korra myths are broken and the unimaginable is broken by either the progress of humanity or the actual explanation of Demons and spirits akin to Warhammer 40k chaos fuckers. I don't care much if my headcannon does not connect well to the cannon, but the worst thing the writers did is tell the kids Santa was their Drunk Uncle.

>you guys are only angry cause your theories are proven wrong
A show subverting every fan theory and expectation can be good... but subverting every fan theory and expectation in and of itself does not make something good.

Uhhhh....The only bad thing the authors did is remove the mystery of the spirits akin to our own religion. The deeper you look at it the more shit it becomes.

Yeah, but you can see how it undercuts his victory while Katara proceeds to solo Azula. Plus Azula being able to make lightning at all doesn't make a ton of sense. You need laser focus and no conflict in your heart, but somehow Azula, who is going crazy because she's so conflicted over getting left behind during the comet, can still do it? After she was getting her ass beat? All just so Zuko can conveniently fuck up the redirect, showing us what happens when you do it wrong and so that Katara can be useful.

Star wars is bad cause its character are terrible. Korra's characters are not the best but not nustarwars tier.

No, it’s more like they told the kids their drunk uncle was actually Santa
>Avatar is actually a super god spirit of order and there’s an EVIL AVATAR
>all the animal hybrids were created by an ancient blood magic ritual
Et cetera
It gave a bunch of absolutely retarded bullshit explanations for things that shouldn’t be explained. Mystical bullshit is like a joke. If you EXPLAIN IT, you RUIN IT

>he gets handed magic anti-consequence powers
You do realize he defeated Ozai before taking away his powers, right?

>He WAS weaker
Still is. You think the power of friendship would make him stronger? They would need an entire new season to explain how the hell he became that powerful. A team up with Katara would make more sense.

>If you EXPLAIN IT, you RUIN IT
That's just like your opinion man.

And its good. The more you need to explain something the worse it becomes.

It’s not mystical if you take all the mysticism out of it
BY DEFINITION

But that's not love...
No, other than Korra being much sexier than Aang her show is is beaten in most everything else by the original.

Lighting bending was special, in the first season there is a factory with a lot of then working as it was nothing, metal bending was special, they fucked it up too.

>You do realize he defeated Ozai before taking away his powers, right?

Yes? I'm arguing taking his powers away and the requisite asspull was unnecessary.

>They would need an entire new season to explain how the hell he became that powerful

The fuck are you on about? Zuko was debatably still weaker than Azula in her prime, but he was certainly stronger than crazy Azula. He was winning before she broke the rules. My problem was that they robbed him at the last second instead of just letting him have it.

>The legend of Korra is not that bad, it is just not as good as the legend of aang
this is only not wrong if you are talking about porn

So was alchemy in the real world in the dark ages.When more people discover it the more common and unspecial it becomes.

The difference is, alchemy doesn’t work like people thought it did. Bending DOES work like people thought it did in Avatar.

Cause we were not following the guys who did not know the royalty. And Zuko is really a pussy wipped Firelord so I won't be surprised if showed to everybody hot to do it.

The Legend of Whorra*

Now you’re just saying bullshit
You are wrong and I hope you’ve learned from your mistakes

>I'm arguing taking his powers away and the requisite asspull was unnecessary
The way you said it, "anti-consequence", implies that it somehow 'saved' Aang when in fact it was just a plus; something that happened after his choice was made. Anyway, perhaps the point of energybending was just to point out that it exists. They didn't need to show that Aang can basically talk with trees either, but they did. if we really push it, taking away Ozai's bending serves the purpose of de-legitimate him as a ruler. As we have read in comics, originally Ozai thought Zuko had no bending at all, which would make him unable to succeed him. For one reason or another, being a powerful bender is (or was) a pre-requisite for being a firelord. If we're looking for the moral reasoning behind this, it is that Ozai would take pride in his power, but was made powerless so he could have a chance to change his view of the World. I just don't think, in the end, that energybending is as bad as people say it is.

Attached: file017888.jpg (2321x1794, 806K)

Why? Writting was considered magic in the dark ages and a bit in the bronze ages(egypt) and special when not many people practise it. But when more people have access to it and can do it.

Has any character ever had an arc better than iroh's?

Nope. Iroh is too much of character. So sad they had to shove him in thrid season. Its like dragging the old dog to the pagent and expecting him to get first place like 15 years ago.

Zuko

Iroh didn't have much of an arc. He was just a really good character.

this is a martial art we're talking about. that's like saying because it's been around for a while, everyone should easily be black belts in jiujitsu.

Why didn't we ever go back to the Fire Nation in Korra?

>The way you said it, "anti-consequence", implies that it somehow 'saved' Aang when in fact it was just a plus

It saved Aang from his dilemma, which they were treating as impossible for him to decide before he got energybending. It essentially nulled out the consequences of his decision to spare Ozai, making the whole thing less meaningful.

>Anyway, perhaps the point of energybending was just to point out that it exists

If so, that's retarded.

>taking away Ozai's bending serves the purpose of de-legitimate him as a ruler

Getting punked during the comet by a 12 year old and locked in an icebox in the North Pole is plenty of de-legitimization.

>comics

We're talking about the finale here, not whatever post-facto excuses they printed elsewhere.

Considered. Many things to the simple mind is considered magic(the elements and even knowledge.) Also Zuko's lighting was something more like a guarded Technick by the royals and since they fell from their high why not these technicks fall in the hands of the plebs.

lol bait

But with time people find way to do things more easier and the more people practise a thing the easier is to find a way to do it easier even if you are not trained from your birth to firebend.

>It saved Aang from his dilemma
How so? he literally stopped Ozai before energybending him. There's no way the firelord would have escaped after he got trapped like that.

>Getting punked during the comet by a 12 year old and locked in an icebox in the North Pole is plenty of de-legitimization
You mean the guy that can defeat a whole army?

>We're talking about the finale here
The implications of not being a firebender were in the show as well, i believe. The comics just made it more evident.

>There's no way the firelord would have escaped after he got trapped like that.

So the energybending was narratively unnecessary.

>You mean the guy that can defeat a whole army?

When he's in the North Pole and there's no comet in the sky? Yes.

>So the energybending was narratively unnecessary
That would be like saying clothes are narratively unnecessary. Just because the plot doesn't revolve around it doesn't mean it's unnecessary.

>When he's in the North Pole and there's no comet in the sky
So he lost the guy who "can't defeat a super-powered-by-comet army, but is able to defeat a regular army".

It was unnecessary because it didn't help Aang defeat the fire lord and served no purpose besides removing the consequences from his contrived moral dilemma. And Ozai was a powerful bender, but he's not unstoppable, especially in adverse conditions. I'm not sure where you're getting this whole "strong enough to defeat armies" thing.

>it's stuck in kiddie tropes while trying to tell a mature story.
That was never the case for TLA though. he original was a basic kids adventure story, but the way it was executed was so exceptionally well done that it came off as mature, but it was never the intention. In Korra they actively tried to be mature, focusing on plot points the writers had no experience with or the intelligence to handle. Ironically it just ended up with Korra seeming like the less mature show.

>but Ozai needed and deserved to be put down.
That would'nt have solved shit. He would've just been martyred by the entire kingdom, they would've replaced him, and things would've continued as normal. They needed to actively SHOW that Ozai wasn't a God King of the universe and that he was a pathetic madman in reality in order for the Fire Nation to truly crumble.

>I'm not sure where you're getting this whole "strong enough to defeat armies" thing
He did it twice in the Avatar State. My point is, it doesn't make sense to point out that losing to the avatar is somehow shameful, especially considering how many skilled firebenders were defeated.

>removing the consequences from his contrived moral dilemma
it didn't, really. The dilemma was always if Aang could actually control the Avatar State. until that point he only managed to go berserk with it. Basically: the fight was never about if Aang could defeat Ozai or not. It was about if Aang was able to control the avatar state or not. After he solved the last bit of internal conflict he had, he was able to do it.

So basically: Aang didn't defeat Ozai because he used energybending. He defeated Ozai because he was able to control the avatar state, by which point the methods don't really matter. Now, if energybending is unnecessary or not, that's up to interpretation. For some, it adds more to the World, and it closes a much appreciated arc of 'energy from within' that started since S01 when Aang was able to connect with energy from the nature.

Here for my obligatory I hate Suyin Beifong so goddamn fucking much post

I HATE SUYIN BEIFONG SO GODDAMN FUCKING MUCH AND SHE JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE IN THE COMICS TOO AND IF THE WRITERS HAVE A SINGLE SLIVER OF HUMAN DECENCY THEY'LL LAY THAT BITCH LOW ON THE PIKE OF HER HUBRIS

I dropped the show halfway of S2, the main issue with the series is that they only had an idea for one ok season and after that it just became aimless.

I actually don’t mind that once you get over lavabending. It’s implied that one either has the capacity to lavabend or the capacity to metalbend. It could be that lavabending is a primal form while metalbending is a refined form.

they get more of a throughline for the last two, and they ARE better than S2. S2 is the worst of it, so I'd suggest you continue. There isn't even that much you'd miss if you just skipped the rest and went to 3

It's fucking bad not because of not only the story.

I fell off the watching wagon like two episodes into the season and didn't pick it back up until ages later when 3 was wrapping up so no

Avatar sucked ass.
What's wrong with you fags?

like with almost any skill after it becomes more widespread and understood of course its gonna be considered more "commonly" and used in new ways
And with the Republic being a petri dish for various ethnicities to grow you get more benders of various sorts, and with more benders you get more able to use advanced techniques like metal or lightningbending, the rarity decreases, industrial/population centers concentrate those so skilled and people find new uses

Consider the finale. Aang is told he must let go of his worldly attachments and embrace the role of the Avatar, but he can't. He's still attached to his pacifist culture and thus unable to fight the main villain?

How is it resolve? The simple, mature story would have understand the duty and kill Ozai, genius story could perhaps arrive at some kind of synthesis. But Aang is stuck in kids' cartoon and can't do anything truly mature and difficult, so he's given out-of-place, thematically inappropriate resolution. It's just everything else was both good and separate so it didn't get tainted by bad resolution; while ruining Amon or Kuvira ruined their entire seasons.

The resolution wasn't out of place. Learning to take bending away was the best answer the Avatars needed. All of the past avatars "killed" their opponents because they thought it was the only way. Learning it with the help of the spirit world gave the Avatars and future avatars a choice. This also answers Roku's dilemma of wanting to stop his brother but refusing to kill him.

I think legend of korra was the first show I dropped because it was too SJW for me.

Bolin was a mediocre earthbender though and he realized it. The fact that he suddenly knew how to lavabend without knowing the concept of earthbending like Toph or Katara did feels like the writers just wanted to give him cool powers since Mako and Korra were prodigy

S2 and S4 are pretty bad, S1 is generally not that bad except for ending which subsequent seasons did not salvage at all. S3 is the only season that fully falls under category of "just not as good". It's a shame too, it feels like every season they just were going in with literally the first draft of the script, I actually don't mind ideas like restoration of air benders after merging spirit world with human world, it weirdly makes sense how nature just would try to patch up broken balance like that.

But in the end, none of good ideas found a particularly good development or conclusion. Like Republic City, there was absolutely no reason to focus on it in S1 so much, I expected a diverse giant city with streets having lives of their own, with different street cultures that have roots in Earth, Fire and Water bendings mixed in. None of that, it's just flat out "dude, industry revolution with magic, lmao" in every street. No character, no reason for it to be Republic City.

TLA wasnt as good as people remember it, and Korra had an impossible standard to live up to as a result and so was judged more harshly. They're pretty even in quality when you balance the scales to remove nostalgia and /pol/.

Thanks for sharing your completely wrong opinion, dipshit. Don't post here again.

there no way some said that was rape thats just too crazy

Alright rewatch it and tell me you don't cringe at 90% of season 1 TLA. It seriously was not that good, and wrapped up with one of the worst endings it could have.

I didn't, I mean The Great Divide was kinda bad and The Fortuneteller among with other scenes were cheesy but that's it. The ending was good, it had some problems but it's not as horrible as you implied

>Imagine it getting explained to you that all the weird animal hybrids were the result of an ancient sacrificial ritual where the blood of all animals was pooled together and poured into an erupting volcano, then the rocks of that volcano became animals. Does that sound like something that makes any sense? Would you like that in an Avatar story? Well fuck you, that's YOUR fault because you're just mad your headcanon wasn't proven to be true
Stop. Goddamn. My sides.

Wait, is that real? It's so fucking stupid, but with the Korra writers I'd believe it.

And yet most would've called her a mary sue if she was any less flawed

>But we did nobody explained the Avatar to us.
That's a GOOD thing. A show based in fantasy doesn't NEED a lot of explanations for its mysticism because once you introduce any kind of logic it can be called into question.

I think he's referencing Scientology.

Korra is a dumb bitch that learned nothing and never grew as a person despite being told she’d have to
At every challenge she was handed the solution on a silver plot platter. No character development, no growth, just a dumb wrong stubborn ass bitch getting rewarded for being dumb, wrong, and stubborn

>But its weak do to the production not the actual writing.
Nah fuck that. That's still white knighting.
I'm fucking tired of people giving Mike and Bryan the out of them not knowing how many episodes they had. That's not how it works goddamn it. They knew they had a set number of episodes each season, so they COULD have made stories that were better self contained within those seasons. They chose not to because they fired the actual talented writers from the first series.

Didn't they get called up last minute and told they have half the number of episodes?

Why is Yea Forums obsessed with this shitty show? Is it really because the main character is attractive that instead of ignoring the show entirely like it should, everyone just posts the same exact complaints about the show every single time a thread is made?

Cutting the link with all past Avatar I think was the most unforgivable thing that this series had done. It wasn't enough that she was just a shit Avatar. However she had to pretty much kill the whole line of past and future Avatar, which makes no sense at all. Now that the spirit and physical world are one there would be more need for an Avatar to maintain balance than ever before. Instead she just dumped all this shit on each race and was like piece out solve your own issues I'm going to go fuck my girl friend.

I don't know what is wrong with progressives with ruining shit then saying its everyone else who needs to adapt. We used to make fun of that shit, and now media keeps wanting to fight against the majority mindset. It's like with fucking star wars. Every movie they keep shitting on the past ones and refuse to do their own story.

It's Deus Ex Machina. Outside context, unearned resolution that neatly ties everything up.

Fair enough

I was alright with Korra but it was infinitely inferior to Airbender in pretty much all regards. Though some villains were better than Ozai

How is Korra a Mary Sue. She fucks up and is shit on so much she is pretty much the opposite.

Unless you are talking about her getting bailed out by deus ex machina often

The only thing good about the legend of whorra is the animation.
Whorra is a garbage character that was made for tumblerTards.
Tenzin and bumi may be the only likable decent characters in Lok.
I was totally disappointed by this show, I wouldn't have a problem if it was mediocre at least but no, it was an ugly mess.

this is pretty much how I feel about it

Despite fucking up she's always viewed as being in the right. No matter what she just couldn't be wrong. Aang on the other hand was wrong a lot. His friends would even tell him when he wasn't keeping everyone's best interests in mind. Korra would just lash-out and storm off so people didn't bother to tell her she's wrong.

>made for tumblerTards
Season 1 korra was fine fap bait, with just a meh story that had potential but fell short. The rest of the series was just pandering tumblr garbage.

What episode is this scene from? I was trying to remember it the other day

Are you sure you aren't thinking about Suyin?

From what I recall there was a lot of in story dislike for Korra as the avatar for the shit she kept pulling. Maybe not by her entourage I guess but people thought she was doing a shit job often

great art, 10/10 character design, fantastic music but how the fuck did they fuck up the writing? their the same guys that did TLA right?

The Boiling Rock, Part 2 episode 15 of book 3

>Spirits
For the most part in ATLA, spirits were reflections of nature and humanity.
Although there was a spirit world and a physical world, the show preaches that separation is an illusion. They overlap in multiple locations and can be traveled between, they are essentially two parts of the same whole. This is expressed by the nature of the Avatar, and events like the death of the moon spirit throwing the physical world out of balance, or the burning of a forest effecting Hei Bai.

In Korra, spirits have changed in multiple ways:
- They are incompatible with humans to the point that we are trapped on lion turtles, there are no benevolent ones protecting us like the Painted Lady, even the peaceful vegetarian Air Nomads are victims (the retarded meme that hunting is somehow incongruent to nature or environmental sensitivity - a concept more disgustingly privileged than "let them eat cake" - is present as well)
- "Dude Miyazaki lmao, did anyone else watch EXTREMELY POPULAR GATEWAY ANIME?"
- Spirits are not deeply linked to the physical world at all, in fact their presence there is almost like a hostile alien invasion. When Wan sends them all back to the spirit world, the physical world is not negatively impacted in any meaningful way, implying that at best they are frivolous cute creatures and at worst they murder us in cold blood for daring to leave the protection of a behemothic mythical creature
- In ATLA, La and Tui represent yin and yang. In Korra, their dichotomy theme is copped by Raava and Vaatu, who instead of circling each-other in eternal balance, spend their existence locked in a landscape-altering battle in an effort to completely suppress the other for 10,000 years (Vaatu, for some reason, keeps suggesting that he will permanently destroy Raava, even though by their own exposition it isn't supposed to work that way)

Her bubble would tell her don't listen to them they don't know what they're talking about.

murr dick kill yourself

>Bending
Got off better than spirits, but is still shittier.
- Bending is merely a weapon that can be handed out to anyone
- The only reason the Avatar can bend 4 elements is because the lion turtles gave it to him
Some people insist things shouldn't be explained, but I thought ATLA did a good job at hinting at it while still remaining a bit esoteric.
>Water bending is intrinsically linked to the Moon and Ocean spirits, Firebending is influenced by the Sun
Doesn't seem insane to imply that there are other ancient spirits who are the original source and progenitor of their elemental bending. But frankly the mere suggestion is enough, it's not really relevant or adds anything to the story, Korra included.
>The Avatar is the reincarnation of people from every nation, so naturally every bending art would be available to them (ex: The Avatar state, or when Aang connects to Roku in the temple and firebends before ever learning it)
This one just seems explicit. People weren't crazy about Lion Turtle handouts in ATLA, why would they do it again, x4, when they already had a completely reasonable explanation?

God I want to feel her arms

Same guys in charge but most if not all of writing staff from tla was gone

The head writer and guy in charge of saying what was good and bad and what could stay and what had to go was Aaron Ehasz for ATLA and they didn't keep him or the other 15 or so people for Korra.

And Bryke openly talked about why when Korra started, Nick wanted them to save money. First they approved only 12 eps and second wanted them to write it all themselves so they didn't have to hire a writing staff.

And we see how that fucked up the show something bad right from the get go.

God I want to feel her tits

I’d compare Korra to a little spinoff called Dragon Ball GT.
Both these shows are sequel series (serieses?) to popular pieces of entertainment that are divisive among their fandoms. Dragon Ball GT’s main issue is that despite having some actually interesting ideas (aging up characters like Kid Trunks and Goten, making the dragon balls have consequences, bringing back 17, and actually using the Saiyans’ Oozaru transformation, among other things) but all these ideas had middling to terrible execution (of the aged up characters, only Trunks was ever really utilized, Nuova and Omega are the only really interesting or worthwhile Shenrons, 17 was just kind of “meh”, Golden Oozaru barely gets used before proceeding to Super Saiyan 4).

Korra has a similar problem. It introduces all these characters that just kind of end up being mostly a waste of time. Korra barely grows, Asami was never meant to be here, Mako is a boring vessel for ship arguments, and Bolin is a walking joke until like Book 4. Most of the villains are just turned into one dimensional crazy people instead of having believable motives or given flaws after the fact to justify their position as villains. The characters conform to fit the narrative instead of the other way around, and they don’t progress to their roles in a believeable way. If GT is good ideas with bad execution, Korra is okay to bad ideas with no execution

So is Korra proof that no matter how shitty you make your show, people will still tolerate it and talk about it as long as the main character is attractive?

If so, I should take notes of this for the future.

It's certainly above average, and I have more respect for the folks that worked on something like this and TRIED to create a new universe than I have for the folks doing the latest Marvel/DC animated license.

But fuck, that second season was a dogturd, and was an albatross around the show's neck afterward. Trying to do any stories after "and then the Avatar beat Satan" is working with a serious handicap.

It doesn't deserve half the hate it gets.

It DOES deserve the first half though.

It's a weird mesh of excellent and fucking wasteful.

But fuck, it's still one of the best pieces of Western animation to come out the last decade. Not high praise, but still true.

his mask was blown off too, so he coulda easily used water bending to create an air pocket for himself then torpedo away and resurface blocks down and walk down the street like an ordinary joe

Sometimes you put a shitload of work into something and just fuck it up. Characters fucking up and doing something stupid on instinct when the rug is pulled out from under them isn't bad writing. That's just humanity.

Bear in mind that when they started, they thought it was going to be a SHORT miniseries. Then it got expanded into a long miniseries. Then it got renewed for a second season. Then Nick said "fuck it, you can have a third and fourth season if you like"

Hard to make a roadmap for a long story if you were originally going to make a short story and your bosses just kept giving you more room to put shit in.

simulated smog. it's china meets new york, the air must be physically painful to breathe.

>Bear in mind that when they started, they thought it was going to be a SHORT miniseries
they did?

The lesbianism of korra

I might have misunderstood, but in interview they made it sound like initially they were expecting it to be a MINI-series, but after a bit of planning they realized they'd gotten approval for something as long as a whole season of Avatar. Then they got the extra season. They REALLY thought that was going to be the end of things, but they got a greenlight to keep going, with a third season definite and a fourth season considered highly likely.

Putting together a roadmap for the original series was much easier. They started off hoping to get three seasons then end, and what happened was... they got three seasons then ended. Badda-bing badda-boom, all went according to plan!

Korra is an idiot and that’s why I love her character

Is there a term for the panda spirit's strobedash?

Korra was a dumb jock with NO interpersonal skills. She was the sort of person that would fuck up in a pro-bending game because she didn't know the rules, then flip off the ref.

I don't know why people act like she didn't get called out on it, because the show never made it a secret that the girl was a lunkhead. Her friends forgave her, because, well, that's just Korra, and they loved her despite her terrible terrible instincts.

It is true that a ton of female characters get away with being blatantly overpowered and liked by everyone whereas male characters actually have to struggle for their power. Look at Luke vs Rey, or Jon Snow vs Daenerys, or Aang vs Korra. Aang has to deal with the genocide of his people and struggles to master the four elements to defeat the fascist empire bent of world domination. What does Korra have to do?

Aang’s over his people death by ep 3. And Korra deals with Ozai level threats 4 times.

Are you saying John had it rougher then Dany? cause that’s false. Or Luke having no force training and destroying the death star made more sense then Rey beating Kylo?

Guys are handed everything in fiction and you don’t blink an eye, but a competent woman = male erasure, huh?

You talking about Luke Skywalker? The guy who had one lesson from Obi-Wan, then could use the force so well he took out a moon-sized enemy base? Kay.

Korra's shit is that she was sheltered by people so insistent on making her ready to be Avatar that she ended up largely clueless about the real world. "wtf is money?"

No it doesn't compare to "my people were genocided!" It would've been fucking lame to have two protags in a row with that level of tragedy in their backgrounds.

People like Korra the way they like a dog that tries to play the piano. She might not know what the fuck she's doing, but gosh darn it, she's trying.

Tenzin: Aang struggled most with earthbending

*40 years earlier*

Aang: man, I need an Earth teacher
Toph: Hi, I stuck Sokka in a dirt hole...YOU’RE AN EXPERT NOW!
Aang: Wow, Earth is easy!

The inspirational story of how even an incompetent moron could flounder her way to victory with the help of deus ex machina

>Are you saying John had it rougher then Dany? cause that’s false.
There's a huge stretch in both the show and books where Dany's using her dragons to run roughshod over Slaver's Bay, she gets the Unsullied, and she again just flips the table by burning all the khals alive and takes their khalasars. D&D had to hobble that bitch like crazy once she got to Westeros to avoid her taking the Iron Throne within a week.

>Or Luke having no force training and destroying the death star made more sense then Rey beating Kylo?
All Luke had to do with the Death Star is press the trigger that shot the torpedos at the right time. It's not some TK or physical feat, what Luke does is display a tiny bit of precog which Qui-Gon says in TPM almost all force sensitive people can do without even knowing they're doing it. Part of the issue with Rey is her fast learning, but the bigger issue is that she's immune to the Dark Side and everyone who's good likes her immediatedly and everyone who's evil dislikes her, but everyone agrees that she's important. Compare that to Luke or Anakin where Han and Leia dismiss Luke as a useless kid at first or when Obi-Wan calls Anakin "another useless lifeform" and only trains him because Qui-Gon begs him to on his deathbed.

"I was born with the ability to close my eyes and feel a mystical force that lets me one-shot-kill a planet-killer moon-sized base. I needed like one lesson to tap into that ability."

I love Luke Skywalker, and will never stop laughing at people that pretend he wasn't handed an absurd skillset on a silver platter. The sequels ended up shit, but it's not because Rey was more overpowered than Luke or something. Rey was by far the least of the problems.

Fucking hyperspace kamikaze, man...

The technological leap was basically the only thing I won't fault lok for.
It really was no where near as crazy as everyone seems to think it was.
Considering that in altab the fire nation already had tanks before aang was even frozen it's not strange to think cars, airplanes, trains and radio might exist after 200 years when tech development took an even shorter amount of time in our world.
The giant robots and power armor were just bullshit writing though.

That's a little facetious, friend. Roku tells Aang at one point that as the Avatar he's learned bending hundreds of times before so it was all just about getting back into the groove of things. In that context, "This is hard! Oh wait, I get it, now it's easy." is perfectly logical -it was never about physically struggling with earthbending, but rather about being able to wrap his head around the philosophy of it. But Aang makes an effort to understand and is rewarded for his hard work.

Korra's problem wasn't that she struggled with airbending, Korra's problem was that SHE NEVER FUCKING MADE AN EFFORT. Every time Tenzin attempted to teach her, she pissed on his lessons, tried to brute force that shit, then got angry and gave up. EVERY FUCKING TIME. And then in the end, how does she get in touch with airbending? She brute forces it with punches and it just happens.

That's not quite true. She needed to incorporate his lessons into something she found stimulating - she'd been using airbending moves (just not the bending) in pro-bending. The final part could've been handled better I will agree, but they did show a bit of a journey.

>- she'd been using airbending moves (just not the bending) in pro-bending

...and that doesn't actually mean anything, because she never embraced the philosophies of airbending. At no point did Korra ever wrap her head around what it means; she just aped the movements, learned nothing, and then punched her way to victory.

I mean, Aang never exactly exuded Earthbender-tough-thinking. It's been a bit sloppy from the start. They make a big deal about how you need the right mental state to do it, the Avatar struggles to get in that mental state once, and then that powerset is available from then on without any mental conditions.

Since she did it by jumping to Mako's rescue, I think they were doing a combo of "the power of love" and "endangering herself to help another" being close enough to spiritualism to help her cross the last mental barriers.

It didn't really work because holy shit Korra and Mako were a terrible couple.

Both Avatars were retards, though.

From what we've seen of previous incarnations, every Avatar was a retard.

Yes, even Kyoshi. She handled the Earth King shit ~poorly~.

>Bear in mind that when they started, they thought it was going to be a SHORT miniseries.
So why was so much of it filled with stupid ass love triangle and sports arc shit?

you mistook my bewildered horror for desire to see it, my friend. But thanks for the thought.

Horror? It's standard OC/character sex except the OC happens to be half-man half-snake.

Dude, the sports shit was awesome. I viscerally wanted to see those fucking Wolfbats get their asses handed to them. The love triangle shit was pretty ass, although Asami was worth adding. They resolved the triangle VERY badly, with Asami just shrugging and going "whatever, have him, and no hard feelings" (although I guess now we can pretend like she didn't mind much because he was totally just a beard?)

But I liked Korra struggling because she wanted a dude, but the dude was with someone, and that someone turned out to be a girl that was really awesome and didn't deserve to have her boyfriend stolen.

There was a germ of a good idea there, resolved poorly.

I'd argue that the first season needed a few more episodes. Build up the mob more and have some conflict with them before Amon takes them down, make it scarier that he could wipe them out. Stretch the pro bending stuff, use it for character building. Do a better job dhowing the flaws in Amon's philosophy, and have a solid rebuttal to the Equalists. They had a story to tell and I wouldn't toss much of it, but it ended up slightly rushed.

Except you're completely wrong.
The script is a mess, not only because of the shoehorned SJW things, it's just a poorly planned story.

>korra is so bad it gives Satan ideas on how to be more evil.

>shoehorned sjw things

Aside from the lesbian ending, I'm drawing a blank. And the lesbian ending REALLY happened because they wanted Korra to end up with SOMEONE and at that point all the dudes were undatable compost fires. Not looking for SJW points, just frantically looking for anyone to hook Korra up with.

There was a brownish female lead.

The avatar is a complete retard no matter how many times they reincarnate. I have no idea why everybody focuses on Korra when they fucked up just as much when they were Roku and Aang. Hell, even the others we saw were almost universally failures in one regard or another.

No he isn't.

Luke had some basic force training, and he only used it to amplify a skill we know he already had.

So any protag who isn't a white male "SJW" now?

But that only happened because the nomads broke protocol and sprang it on him way too young.

>Korra
>a BIT obnoxious

She was full blown obnoxious all the time, yet still got proven right. Fucking Tenzin APOLOGIZED TO HER BECAUSE SHE REFUSED TO TAKE HER TRAINING SERIOUSLY.

Now you understand.

Roku had a chance to talk reason to Sozin. Probably wouldn't have worked, but they were family and old friends, worth a shot.

The best argument he could come up with for Sozin not declaring war on the whole world?

"There have to be four nations. Four."

Fucking hell, Roku, you were the dumbest of a dumb line.

One Avatar later and there's five nations and the world's better for it.

Again, the Avatar doesn't really know anything. It's just Wan, except he has to relearn everything each new life and each successive generation places more and more responsibility on him until he's the world police.

If you think Wan should be in charge of anything, you're a goddamn fool.

>The best argument he could come up with for Sozin not declaring war on the whole world?
>"There have to be four nations. Four."
Meanwhile the Avatar 9,900 years prior

>"Spirits need to fuck off and live separately from us despite being sapient beings that we can and eventually do co-exist with"
God, Wan just fucked everything

Not disagreeing, just saying that in buffoonery Roku has Korra beat, hands down. Could've gone with "dude, you're talking about war, you're talking about death on a global scale, and a conflict like that would no-doubt be felt even in the spirit realm so this is bound to snowball," or any number of arguments.
Dude went with "Nah boss, we already decided how many countries there should be, and it's four. Roku out!"

Aang had a lot of shit going against him. He was too young to even begin his avatar training. He only had mastered Air by the time the war broke out and most likely would have been killed in the invasion. Him dying would mean the next bender would have been born in the water tribe. Things may have worked out if they were born in the North. However there is also a chance that they'd have been born in the southern tribe or even among the swamp tribe.

why didn't aang just bust ty lee out of prison and learn chi blocking from her so he could beat ozai that way

If it worked like that I'm sure she would've Done Her Duty somehow. But I'm pretty skeptical it works like that.

Besides, they magic-ed up a bunch of new Airbenders anyway.

You know guys, I didn’t want to admit it, kind of a big secret, but I think Eska is pretty darn cute

I barely remember anything about this show. I vaguely recall some fragments of fight scenes, Amon dying, DARK AVATAR, and that earth bitch

No, it's pretty fucking bad. Even if it didn't shit all over the world TLA established, the writing would still be fucking garbage. The main characters would still be completely unlikable and their development would still be all over the place. The overarching plotlines would still be completely incompetent. It would all still be halfassed, compromised trash that undercuts itself.

Bad show with some crazy animation talent behind it.

i feel bad for the music team because the entire korra soundtrack is fucking gorgeous. i was watching the unavatu transformation scene and then the giant korra giant unavatu fight and thinking to myself "i wish this music was being used for something actually good"

They moved it to the comic. It's a work in progress.

Vagina, abs, asshole, abs, inside of her mouth, abs, nose, abs, inner ear, abs, nipples, boobs, and then butt in that order

Well I still think it had its moments, which is a lot more than can be said for most "serious" shows we've had recently.

When Asami electrified her dad, choosing her friends over him? I went "Oh shit." When Tarrlok bloodbended Korra? I went "Oh shit!" When Amon just fucking started walking THROUGH Tarrlok's bloodbending? I went "OH SHIT"

8 goddamn seasons of Voltron never got me as hyped as the GOOD parts of Korra. And while Dragon Prince has plenty of time to get good, so far the big dramatic moments have been the kids falling into a lake, and fighting a Team Rocket pair that didn't REALLY want to hurt anyone. Warts (big ones) and all, I got more out of Korra than the comparable stuff that's come since. Samurai Jack's the only show in ages that got my blood pumping in a comparable way (and at its best moments it was undoubtedly better), and even that concluded with a messy unsatisfying rushed end.

Korra was well above average for Yea Forums content. That's not a huge compliment.

>The simple, mature story would have understand the duty and kill Ozai
No, that would've been the stupid solution because it glosses over . That's the solution Korra would've taken.

how many people do you think azula killed before the show even started

i'll agree with that. there's enough competency to make it watchable and it's fun if you turn your brain off, but even then there's so many sloggy points, the middle of almost every season just plods along so slowly with filler crap like romance and pro-bending. season 3 is the only one that's decently paced, and even then it's not perfect and the setup for the plot is monumentally retarded. looking at the big picture of korra kills it, but the small fun moments are good on their own, even if the surrounding bits that set up to them make no sense or are boring to get through.

Thousands of her brother’s unformed children

Yeah, I hate when people say killing Ozai would've solved everything. He'd turned his country into a war machine that believed it had a Destiny. There were douchecanoes like Zhou all over the place, someone else would've popped up.

Dragging him back in depowered chains, going "this is your Fire Lord. Or rather, this WAS your Fire Lord, because his son is taking over, and he'll do a better job because he's not half as big a moron"?

The problem with the spiritbending wasn't that it wasn't bloody enough, it was that it wasn't foreshadowed in any way. If we'd gotten even a throwaway line earlier about Avatars having more abilities than just bending the elements, it would've been enough.

Samurai Jack ended fine. Rushed sure, but it was still a decent ending that did exactly what people expected since episode 1. I could've done without the GL homage, but at the end of the day the season even at its lowest shits all over Korra.

damn avatar is a better game of thrones story than the hbo show

None. I go with what Aaron Ehasz said about her (in the stuff confirmed to be by him. Turns out Zutarans have been posting fake interviews with him for years, since he did the most work with the Fire-siblings, so claiming he was secretly on their ship's side would make them winners? Fuuuck, anyway...)

What we saw Azula doing in the show is about the worst stuff she's done.
She is redeemable, she hadn't hid rock bottom when the show ended.
She does love Zuko - in her own twisted way - she just also hates and resents him, largely because she (correctly) believed that their mother loved him more.

Yeesh, what a mess that girl's head is.

I wouldn’t mind at all if they went full GoT in the Netflix series with Azula

It's a nonsense paradox to give Jack an unhappy ending. Ashi fading away from the timeline after killing Aku in the past makes sense, until you stop and realize that if she's no longer part of the timeline then she wouldn't have existed to send Jack back, and without sending Jack back then Aku wouldn't have died in the past and would have lived to the future, and thus Ashi would have lived to send Jack back, causing Aku's death and eliminating Ashi, which of course means that Ashi isn't there to cause Aku's death, so Ashi gets to exist... and so on.

Saying "Ashi shouldn't exist any more" just to make Jack sad sets up a really silly paradox.

And it's a pretty crappy ending to say that all the folks in the future that Jack helped out over the years no longer even get to exist (no way the timeline's similar enough for them to exist in the new timeline).

Plus stuff like the Guardian got glossed over.

First few chapters were incredible, then it went down to "s'alright, not incredible any more" in quality.

What I find extremely extremely ironic in the show is Zuko's statement of saying that Azula was the one born lucky. What he unknowingly didn't realize was that he was actually the lucky one. Azula by being the prodigy was trained and abused from day 1 to become Ozai's perfect weapon with no flaws. She was the one that had to personally shoulder Ozai's perfectionist attitude since all the attention was on her. She never had the chance to develop her own identity by undergoing banishment like Zuko did. When she started to realize how what her father taught her was a lie, it was too late, causing her mental breakdown at the end of season 3.

Your point is moot because you're talking about a fictional concept directly created by magic. You can easily handwipe it as Aku's magic taking a while to fully disappear or that she was using her own magic to keep herself alive for as long as it did. I agree that Ashi should've died or simply stayed in her timeline, but that's because it simply would've been stronger narratively, not because of bullshit, intellectually disingenuous reasons like fucking paradoxes.

>And it's a pretty crappy ending to say that all the folks in the future that Jack helped out over the years no longer even get to exist (no way the timeline's similar enough for them to exist in the new timeline).
They went back to Jack specifically to help him go back to his time. They knew the consequences, they aren't stupid.

Do people really think is bad? I thought every season was awesome (the last season had a weaker villain, but season 1 2 and 3 had amazin villains!)

I agree with it being stronger if she'd died or been stuck in an alternate timeline, but I don't think it's disingenuous to think about the paradox.

They basically said "she can't be alive because she's Aku's kid from the future that he didn't live to have kids in," and then asked us to stop following that thread of logic to the next few steps. Which is messy writing. Don't ask people to think about a paradox, but only, like... part of it.

It was handled poorly.

>They knew the consequences

Did they though? Because I believe they knew he was going to try to fight and destroy Aku, but I never saw anything to make me think, for example, that the Scotsman knew he was pretty much dooming his daughters to nonexistence. And even if they did go in knowing what was going to happen, it seems pretty crummy for all the lives Jack saved over the years to get wiped out. The show could get dark, but that's on a whole different level.

I wasn't fully satisfied with this ending, sorry.

There are so few people who thought season 2 had a good villain that the writers acknowledged the situation in their parody ep.

youtube.com/watch?v=wQ-pxmwDgFU

mako and bolin were one shitty one dimensional characters. worst part about the show. Just compare bolin to sokka, both are supposed to play the comedic relief friend but sokka is a hundred times more complete. then stupid teen romance drama was shit as well.

The strange thing is, I liked them in season 1. They just went so far downhill.

Orphaned at a young age, these bending brothers turned to crime. Mako, the older one, is more responsible, and eventually got them out of that life and figured out how to make their bending skills into something they could make honest money with. Bolin's a little more innocent, but earnest and well-meaning.

It's just that we passed the point where that could've been enough characterization, and as we scratched and scratched away their surface, Mako turned out to be a terrible boyfriend, and Bolin turned out to be a total retard that could work for a villain TWO TIMES without noticing it. And also he can't stick with a job for more than five minutes. Also, he can lavabend because he's the Avatar's friend so he needs to be special.

It was pretty abysmal

>Abysmal

Now you're just being contrarian. Mars Needs Moms was abysmal. Korra had some solid bits, a good amount of creativity in the designs and worldcrafting, and lunkheaded moments that let air out of the proverbial balloon (especially with bad resolutions to the Big Bads).

Righteous and Based

The entire show and the premise it works off of is fundamentally flawed if we're trying to apply whatever is is used to theorize about paradoxes. It's also been clear since day 1 that the show can care less about that.

I'm saying the paradox thing is a poor argument to make because it doesn't get to the heart of the matter, that Ashi dying was just not that great. It was a blatant reference at a time when it should've been it's own thing rather than ripping off something EVERYONE knows about. Even if they did justify it in a way that made sense, it wouldn't have made the scene any better.

>Because I believe they knew he was going to try to fight and destroy Aku, but I never saw anything to make me think, for example, that the Scotsman knew he was pretty much dooming his daughters to nonexistence.
The Scotsman also knows that they would be fucked over with fates worse than death regardless once Jack is dead. The only reason things were relatively tolerable in the past 50 years was because Aku's stalemate with Jack has waned his motivation entirely and grew complacent. It was a lose-lose situation, the only thing they could do is rescue him and hope for a better future at that point.

Many people would run away as well when they were told they have to defeat a genocidal leader as a 12 years old. Not to mention that their friends won't play with them anymore because they're the most OP kid around

>It's also been clear since day 1 that the show can care less about that.

Hence why it was jarring that it suddenly cared enough to kill Ashi because her being alive was a paradox. Acknowledging paradoxes but just a little bit? Just the tip? Just enough to change the ending to a happy ending? It felt out of place in a show that never previously gave a shit about that kind of thing.

>Aang wouldn't care about the continuation of his people
>He wouldn't care about the sole reason he couldn't bring himself to kill Ozai which would break the line of Airbenders forever.

And yes, she could have had Airbender children if you remember how it works.

>free fighting isn't a martial art.

I love how Amon just didn't kill the crowd and blame it on the Avatar/Benders.

>not making a character hold the idiot ball for five fucking seconds makes them a Mary Sue

Except like said, bending is not a secret technique. It's not technology or chemistry. You can't tweak it to be more effecient. It's a martial art, it takes dedication and training to master techniques. Lightning and metal bending are supposed to be extremely difficult techniques to master. Shit, Toph could only metalbend because she was BLIND and had to rely on her bending to see. That reliance taught her how to pick out tiny details, like the bits of "earth" in the metal. Now, granted, as far as I saw only the special forces led by Toph's daughter were doing it, so that makes sense, but lightning bending is supposed to be even harder and ever random Tom and Dick firebender in the city can get a job at the lightning factory.

Imagine if any other universe's martial arts were treated like that. Imagine getting a bunch of gormless stoners from the Tarintino movie universe and hiring them to be, I dunno, wood cutters, and instead of giving them axes, you had a seminar on how to split a log in half with a one-inch punch. Shit's not only retarded, it undercuts the Bride's dedication to learning how to do it. Fuck, even when she mastered it, it took a couple whacks to break the coffin.

>S2 ram on stupidity and would be terrible for any show. S3 had to deal with S2 it baggage and S4 shat the bed again.

This. The first season was flawed, but not critically so. The second season started out unsteady, then nosedived into an utter disaster. The last two seasons weren't all bad, but the show had been left in a crater that was hard to crawl out of.

Season 2 had Korra defeat the god of evil. I don't envy the writers that were trying to figure out how to make new threats seem serious after THE GOD OF EVIL had already been defeated.

Mauled? No. More likely playfully chewed.

Suyin could have easily just been "cool mom", I like her character and her flaws. She's a very believable character to me.

"Steampunk" + Japanese/Chinese/Korean/Inuit aesthetic, incorporating previous worldbuilding elements from a world with magic powers.

Yes, I will call that vastly more creative than, for example, the bog-standard fantasy designs of The Dragon Prince or Star vs. The Forces of Evil, or the depressingly lifeless sci-fi of Voltron.

She's a Randian's wet dream. She assembled all the talented "creative types" to live in her perfect city, and it worked because they have magic powers that let them do shit like farming, building, and plumbing instantly so they're not left going "shit, we should've brought some people that aren't idea-men." And the rest of the Earth Kingdom went to hell around her, while she ho-humed.

There's 0 porn or fanfiction that takes advantage of this setup and that makes me sad. Everything's just Korra and/or Asami over and over.

Sometimes in life you just stumble across a third option that nobody else considered because they didn't try hard enough to find a third option. They needed more foreshadowing, but Aang pushing and pushing and pushing and then finally going "oh, hang on, here's something I can do" works for me.

Weird thing is if you isolate bits and pieces, I really love things in this show. Asami was awesome.

1. Accidentally runs into a protagonist, becomes his girlfriend, little bits of foreshadowing that she could end up being a secret baddie...
2. Given the choice between siding with her friends and siding with her baddie daddie... she at the last possible moment picks her friends and saves them, turning against her family and putting herself on the side of the underdogs!
3. Actually stays friends with her crappy circle of dumbasses, even after Korra swiped Mako
4. Tried to save her family business any way possible, turning to her friends for help and getting her hands dirty when needed
5. Keeps on helping her friends deal with the Red Lotus shit, and becomes closer friends with Korra, ending up the person Korra confides in when Korra ends up practically a crippled invalid
6. Reconnects with daddy, reluctantly, as he begs for forgiveness
7. Works with her dad to try and stop Kuvira, watching him die to save her
8. Fucks the Avatar. Just fucks that buff brown bimbo's fucking brains out. Probably uses that glove too, with the settings on a lower number, because you don't want to damage a work of art like that water tribe stallion's abs.

That's good shit! Just try not to notice the bit about the evil red squidgod there around the halfway mark.

Not really. I'm looking over at Dragon Prince, and while I think Ehasz is a talented guy, it's genuinely more boring than Korra. Of the two shows, I'd rather have worked on Korra.

And the first season of Korra was way better than the second. If anything I'd say the problem with Korra is that Nick told them to make a brief mini, and they did, and they figured they wrapped all the story up nicely, and then they were asked to add more stuff after the end. They dropped the ball with that, but the problem wasn't the season 1 writing (flawed though that was) it was the season 2 scramble for more stuff to do.

She wasn't much better at the end of book three. And if Toph kept her personality unchanged her entire life, why couldn't Korra? She doesn't strike me as the kind of person that would suddenly take to all that spiritual crap that she spent years adamantly rejecting.

Korra: "Find yourself a hot and smart girl. Marry her. Do whatever she wants in the bedroom, I guarantee you she knows what she's doing."
NewAvatar: "I... I asked for your help with solving a conflict between warring clans..."
Korra: "I heard you. This is the best advice I've got."

>if Toph kept her personality unchanged her entire life
that's one of the things that really bugged me, actually. she's like 70 years older but she still acts like her 12 year old self. keeping some of your character traits is one thing, but being basically the same person except wrinkly is dumb.

S1 dated a dumbass meathead moodypants with iffy hygeine.
S4 married a hot rich hyper-athletic funloving genius with great fashion sense.
I'm so proud of her. She learned so much.

So her personality remained the same. She just got standards.

Sometimes growing up means realizing you're dumb and need to find someone to think for you. Someone that's a sexual tyrannosaurus too, preferably.

Yeah but then she does nothing when Suyin tries to assassinate Kuvira during the ceasefire that she personally negotiated. This is IMMEDIATELY after Korra "changed" and decided to come back and do her duty as an Avatar.
You understand how fucking pissed she should have been? Now every time she tries to sue for peace or a ceasefire, everyone can just go:

She learns nothing.

- Suyin has harbored fugitives.
- Suyin had a Red Lotus member in her inner circle, whom she blindly trusted as judge and jury.
- Suyin was staunchly anti-royalist, until an inexperienced Prince with no aspiration to actually govern his country showed up and suddenly she cares deeply about putting him on the throne.

But of course she's one of the "good guys", so Korra can't stop her from trying to murder Kuvira. Or punish Bataar Jr, who was with Kuvira every giant robot step of the fucking way until they kidnapped him at a peace negotiation and threatened to "destroy their love".
Christ almighty, Korra was genuinely less pathetic when she was stuck in a wheelchair.

Suyin snuck off to assassinate Kuvira behind Korra's back, Korra was very much against this idea and was trying to broker peace at the time. At the end of the day she's going to back the Bei Fongs, Kuvira is the aggressor here obviously.

I think that's the wife of the last water tribe avatar. Koh stole her face

Yeah, I'll agree that Suyin is the worst thing in the entire Avatar mythos. Even worse than Unaloq, since we're not told he's a good guy.

Kuvira went full fascist dictator, wanting military control, wanting to take back lost territory, and Spirits Help any "foreigners" on her people's ancestral land.

Somehow they managed to create a scenario where the fucking fascist was LESS shitty than someone. Suyin looked out her perfect un-earned windows at the Earth Kingdom falling into chaos and went "yes Kuvira, it's very sad, but... we shouldn't do anything. On paper we might be part of this country, but really those concerns are for other people..."

Fucking hell.

The twins were boring but Varrick is based as fuck and singlehandedly carried the entire show.

Because it's a complete let-down of a sequel to what's arguably one of the best pieces of western animation ever made.

But she just sat there, I think she gave some sort of excuse like
> "I can't leave now and endanger Suyin/your brothers".
WHY??? They just took a fat, greasy shit on her honor and dignity as Avatar! It's her fucking job to stop them!
Maybe Kuvira is literally Hitler. Maybe she's going to try to invade the city immediately after the ceasefire ends, and Korra will have to fight her. That doesn't mean she should allow her word and agreements as Avatar become worthless for the sake of service to her fucking Bei Fong masters.

>LoK is so bad they had to shoehorn in a lesbian romance to regain even the smallest modicum of interest.

They shoved in the ham-fisted gay relationship because the ending - of the show, the series and the entire fucking franchise for all anyone knows - was simultaneously awful and boring and they wanted something that they could use to insulate themselves from criticism.

>Jinora: Korra, you have to go stop Su before she does something terrible.
>Opal: Stop her? We should be helping her!
>Korra: We have no idea where your mom is, or what her plan is. If we go charging into Kuvira's camp, we could get them all captured, or worse. All we can do now is wait.
>Opal looks down in dismay. The speakers around Zaofu go on.
>Kuvira: Attention citizens of Zaofu. Your leader, Su Beifong, attempted to attack me tonight while I slept, ignoring the terms of our truce. Luckily, I now have her and her assault team in custody.
...
>Opal: Korra, you can't let Kuvira get away with this! We have to go break out mom and my brothers!
>Jinora: [Irked by Opal's aggression.] You swore an oath of non-aggression when you became an airbender. [Narrows her eyes; sternly.] You can't just attack Kuvira!
>Opal: I don't care about the oath! I have to save my family!
>Korra: [Putting a hand on Opal's shoulder.] No, Jinora is right. Your mom attacked the camp. Kuvira was just defending herself.
I don't really see any problems here with Korra's logic, she's even shitting on Suyin and her decision. I can understand where Suyin is coming from too though seeing as how Kuvira has come to literally conquer her home.

fart bending

>tfw Bataar Jr. was far more malicious than Kuvira, doing everything primarily to piss off his dad
>Actually devised the fucking mech
>Most likely got off scot free while Suyin threw Kuvira, her protege and supposed foster daughter, under the bus
>tfw they seem to be setting Suyin up to fix the problem in the comics and get elected as the new ruler when that guy's evil shit is discovered

I'd really like for them to call out how utter hypocritical she is given some of the Kuvira focus and how obvious they are being with Suyin's hypocrisy at the trial but man I can also see them just kissing Suyin's ass more too...

and then they proceed to go on to bail Suyin's ass out anyway. Poor Bolin getting shit on and guilt trip by Opal when it was obvious Bolin was just trying to help people when everything was essentially was on fire in the EK recently and Kuvira was the only one doing jack shit about it.

Man pretty much everyone in the Beifong family is a fucking cunt and/or idiot aren't they?

>and then they proceed to go on to bail Suyin's ass out anyway
because Kuvira is still the aggressor here, obviously they're not going to just abandon Su especially with Opal there

and I know you probably at least like Lin

Is Azula the greatest firebender of all time?

No, just a prodigy

Lin is the least offensive. She is still a bit of a cunt due to not getting airbender cock in her, but given how much everyone and everything in the series screws her over, her bitchiness is at least somewhat understandable

her grumpiness is what makes her so great
she even yelled at Opal that one time, doesn't that make you happy

>if we go charging into Kuvira's camp, we could get them all captured, or worse
Yeah thanks that's the part I was referring to. They DESERVE to be captured, and worse.
Even more so if they actually succeeded. Korra should be desperately trying to stop them, even just showing up at Kuvira's camp and claiming it's for more peace negations would spoil Suyin's assassination attempt.

The funniest part is that the entire plan hinges on Suyin assuming the enemy army exists only for Kuvira. Maybe she's right, and they'll eventually dissolve without her. But honestly, what would you do if your leader was murdered during a ceasefire and you were parked outside?
>"GG WP guys you sure got us, I guess we'll all go home and return these mecha tanks we stole."
>Bataar Jr: "Oh hey mom, little bros, I see you've killed my fiance in her sleep. I guess we'll work through it in family counseling."
This shit was six different kinds of retarded and made Korra look like an untrustworthy imbecile.

>dumbass meathead moodypants with iffy hygeine
so pretty much Korra herself?

Sure. She needs an Asami to go "uh, sweety... bathe. Now."

nice

Well you're speaking from your own perspective, from Korra's perspective she's not on Kuvira's side she's the one marching on Zaofu with her army for basically no reason other than "I want it!" And Kuvira the driving force her faction could not survive without her, she's the root of all this take her out of the equation and things would be a lot simpler for Su and co. so I don't think it's really that bizarre for Su to try and assassinate her.
