Korra joins the Red Lotus.

The reason the Earth Kingdom is so fucked up is because Avatar Kyoshi suppressed a peasants uprising and created the Dai Li to act as the Earth Monarch's secret police to prevent future rebellions.

Korra has the choice of doing that again or accepting the Red Lotus' philosophy and joining them.

She's going to join up.

Book Four will end like the Sopranos.

A final middlefinger to the fanbase.

>>64773359
Just like ATLA book 3

>>64772717
I'll look back and remember it being a wild ride and more of a rollercoaster in terms of quality/substance than ATLA. I hope the ending goes all out on the production values like the last few episodes of ATLA too.

Obviously, Korra does it unconsciously when she wants to impress people, look at her knockers in her night dress on Book 1.

>>64774030

Gonna have to post a picture now

>>64774374
Don't have any, but it's the dress that had the famous chart made that put her boobs at DD's.

Given her boobs are nice but clearly not DD's most of the time, it was clearly subconscious boob-bending.

>>64772717

Bullshit. She's very proactive. Just because her last 2 conflicts involved defenestration and giant wrestling exorcism doesn't change that.

>>64774691
She just stood there as Lyn and her sister fought, so what did she resolve?

>>64774691
Korra is a War Avatar who promotes peace!

>>64774727

Holy fuck, she's REACTIVE if anything. Only when she's pushed, does she become more proactive. Think about the Amon crisis, anon. Only when things became tougher and more apparent did she give a shit, otherwise she would just sit and cry.

Bulllshit.
And you're not even trying to make a reasoned argument. Korra wasn't after Amon early on for 2 reasons. 1, she had no way of finding him. 2, she was afraid. This was dealt with in episodes 3-4.
In book 2, they weren't telling her about the spirit attacks because she knew she'd want to try and stop them if she heard. And she did, and so she went with Unalaq. She really wants to be the avatar and do the whole job, even if she's not very good at it at times.

Perhaps this will work for you.

>>64777660
They did retcon stuff whether or not they say they didn't.

When the first benders were mentioned and explained in ATLA EVERYONE assumed it meant using the element itself in general.

SUDDENLY it somehow means the actual techniques, and the techniques are bending. Even though...they called people with no techniques in ATLA benders...like Katara in the beginning.

So suddenly the first benders are people that actually learned the techniques for their element.

Also Bryke had revealed that the Avatar spirit was separate from Aang and the Avatar's spirit in interviews so we kinda knew that even if it didn't seem that way in the series (but was actually mentioned offhand by Katara)

>>64778170
But it would shake their ego and make them want to improve if someone they look up to said to not throw bulls in Chinese inspired glass houses.

What.
The first benders are still the ones who used the element, not the ones who learned the techniques.

What changed is instead of people somehow learning to breath fire by imitating dragons (which is great for legends and lore but not so cool in practice), the turtles bestowed the gift before that happened.
A good retcon, as far as I'm concerned, and it doesn't contradict anything.

For the love of god, please no. The series really has become stale ever since the two creators took over the writing aspect of the show. They remind me of George Lucas, honestly. The further they stay away from the creative aspects, the better the show. Just stand back and give feedback.

>>64776147
My headcanon is that the avatar cycle is mostly "Water avatar fucks shit up, Earth avatar deals with the initial fallout, Fire avatar enjoys an era of general balance, Air Avatar tries to fix as much shit as possible in preparation for the next Water Avatar."

>>64780676

>>64780676
>a good thing

>>64780792
>ever since the two creators took over the writing aspect of the show

They only wrote the first season. They gave every subsequent seasons (2,3, and 4) over to other writers so that they could focus on the animation, world building and general plotline. While season 2 was a clusterfuck of clusterfuckery, season 3 has been everything I wanted Korra to be from the get go. Yes, it's sucks that it took them 3 season to hit their stride, but at least they finally hit a stride. If season 4 stays on track with what we've been given in season 3, then I'm completely willing to forgive season 1 and 2. Well... ok, not so much season 2, but some lenience to season 1 at the least.

>>64781280
The fourth season is its final, so to say that it finally hit its stride in the middle of the 3rd season is pretty bad. I liked season one, hated season two, and meh atm.

But the series went from over 4 million viewers at the beginning of book 1 to barely over 1 million by the time it was taken off the air.

Ok, so just to be clear, it's mostly /co/mrades that say its shit. most casual viewers at least enjoy most aspects of the show.

Book one started out pretty awesome, but the writing got worse as the season went on, with most people, even fans, being disappointed with the lackluster finale, which was the worst episodes of the season. Ending on a sour note doesn't help your show.

Then season two kinda had the opposite effect. It started out pretty similar to later book one, with the same pacing and writing issues. plus they had to get a different, much worse animation studio for the first half of the season. But the flashback episodes to the first episode were well received, and most episodes after were decent, even with the finale being pretty convoluted. People tend to ignore korra's character growth in book 2 because she was pretty unlikeable in the first half of the season, but it was one of the few things that actually was written well, because by the end of the season she had a full character arc that continues into book 3.

Overall, the LOK hate on here is a little overblown, but /co/mrades to bring up valid criticisms. It does suck that you're the sequel series to what many people think is one of the best cartoons of all time

>>64788558
>LOK hate on here is a little overblown
Guess that should be expected given where we are, thanks anon.Might have to check out Avatar and if I get to it, might just skip Season 2 of Korra

Yet the ratings were so shit they stopped airing the series on TV?

Earth Queen.

She doesn't die onscreen, but her death is a 99% guarantee as she extends her arm upwards as a sign of help.

>>64788558
What character arc? Her issue of always trying to be like the other Avatars was never relevant before or after the Book 2 finale, and she overcame it in like 2 seconds.

>>64781280
>so that they could focus on the animation, world building and general plotline
>general plotline

Which is the biggest problem. Bryke's dialogue isn't too bad, but their plots are terrible. Even TLA had a botched resolution.

They seem unable to distinguish "This would be cool" and "This would be a well-constructed story".

>>64790027
>ratings were bad which means its bad

even ignoring how nick completely screwed over korra, you would think /co/ would be against this thinking, since most of our favorite shows were cancelled due to low ratings. Does this mean Tron, GLTAS, and Motorcity are bad shows as well?

>>64790223
he probably meant her general attitude. she's much less abrasive now than the beginning of book 2.

>>64791069
But that's not character development; her character is just written differently now. It wasn't a change relevant to the conflict of Book 2, nor was it one that made sense.

If she had mellowed out after the events of Book 1 it would have made more sense, as that story was heavily about Korra learning self-control, but to have her be hot-blooded in Book 2 and then changed in Book 3 for no reason is unnatural.

>>64791168
do you forget her entire journey in the spirit world? where her bad attitude was literally manifesting her as a child, and she had to control her emotions to return to normal?

it doesn't get more clear than that.

>>64791045

Much like /v/'s own, /co/ shitposters love to quote ratings as measure of quality, but only when it suits their argument.

>>64790223
>Her issue of always trying to be like the other Avatars was never relevant before or after the Book 2 finale, and she overcame it in like 2 seconds.

It was relevant since book 1.

>>64791168

The abrasiveness was not character development nor regression. She wasn't abrasive in Book 1. She was freaking out due to the situation she had on her hands, and reacted poorly, but understandably.

People don't change easily or quickly.

To be honest I hate Korra as much as most people do but We need to give credit to how Book 3 was handled.

Depending on how the finale goes it might be the best book In the entire franchise.

>>64772717
I haven't started watching season 3 yet. Does it follow the same formula as earlier ones (a couple good episodes at the start, then it goes to shit)? Will watching it make me angry at cartoons again?

>>64791475

Only 2 episodes left in the season and it's been good so far.

>>64791554

>look ma, I'm shitposting on /co/!

>>64791585

>>64791475
There's two episodes left, so it might be a similar situation to Book 1 where the ending dismantles the rest of the story.

>>64791432
>Depending on how the finale goes
Which is key here. A proper ending is essential to a show with a continuous plotline. If the ending doesn't work, the plot doesn't work.

>>64791623

Book 1 was already shitting itself by episode 9 with Makorra rearing it's ugly head.

I just hope for once in their goddamn lives Bryke doesn't do DXM.

>>64791666
I'm still frankly shocked that the love triangle bullshit hasn't happened at all this season.

although I'm a little worried about bolin/opal. hope that works out. Be cool to have another member of team avatar for book 4

>>64791734
>Be cool to have another member of team avatar for book 4

Not gonna happen.

>>64791259
That wasn't due to her bad attitude. She overcame it with hope, not cool-headedness.

>>64791344
But wasn't to the plot of Book 2, which is why her suddenly being more calm in Book 3 isn't proper character development.

>>64791411
That's missing the point, which is that Book 2 and 3 (and the series as a whole) hasn't had a proper character arc for Korra.

Book 1 started one but dropped it in the finale and the show hasn't picked it up since.

>>64791815
it was specifically her bad attitude. at the tea party she started complaining and yelling and evil spirits started to manifest. it was both hope and having a level head that helped her. When she reached the evil spirit on the mountain, she had to talk to it instead of fighting it.

and now in season 3 she's continued that growth. we see in the episode preview that she spends a lot of time debating on what to do about the red lotus, and ultimately decides to give herself up to save the air nomads, something she wouldn't have done in the past. it's character development, plain and simple

>>64791815
>That's missing the point, which is that Book 2 and 3 (and the series as a whole) hasn't had a proper character arc for Korra.

But Korra has had a proper character arc so far. The big problem with these arcs is the finales have had a way to not use this characterization, but it has added up and Korra has visibly changed.
She isn't "suddenly more calm". She's been getting slowly more calm, all the way from book 1. The thing is, even people who are getting calmer aren't immune to moments where they're not calm.

>>64791951
I'm not sure it could be called a "proper" arc if it has no relevance to any of the central conflicts.

It would be nice if Books 3 and 4 manage to tie everything together. I want this show to be good, but it's been a mess so far.

so from the recent nerdist interview, bryke said that book 3 has a definite conclusion that won't carry over to book 4.

QUICK, come up with the plot for the next season!

Hardmode: no new style of bending

>>64788466
They were talking about the Earth Queen's suffocation there.

>>64792029
a character arc doesn't have to tie directly into the plot for it to be "proper". a character arc is meant to show the person changing through the events that he's going through. If you compare korra now to korra in book one, there is a clear difference, and we can see in some episodes how she changed.

and it kinda does tie into the central plot, since now korra is willing to sacrifice herself to save the air nomads, instead of going headfirst into a fight. and this was only after asking for the advice of multiple people

>>64792035
Central conflict revolves around a hothead fucking up the spirit world. Korra enters the spirit world to fight him, aware that she can't rely on her bending there. She defeats him by being calm and winning over the spirits favor to help her.

Ties together all the previous experiences she's faced.

>>64792126
I suppose. That does leave the conflicts themselves rather hollow, though. Just "fight this bad guy".

>>64792295
>She defeats him by being calm

Boring.

So it's both episodes?

>>64792295
Why wouldn't she just ender the spirit world physically, so she could still use her bending?

>>64792721
Oh shit, I forgot that was a thing.

Maybe he locks them from the inside or something.

>>64792744
>Oh shit, I forgot that was a thing.
Don't worry too much. I think maybe the writers will probably have forgotten that's a thing too.

>It'll pull us back in!
>Yeah, you never know, and we still love the world. You create a rich world and you want to play in it, but just like when Avatar finished, we're tired and TV animation production is particularly brutal; the overlap is crazy. At one point, we were working on thirty episodes at one time and, like, it's seriously awesome that people want the show to continue forever and they want us to make 'Well, who's the next Avatar and the next and the next one?' That's a great problem to have, but I'm like, you don't understand. If you're saying that, then you don't know what it's taking out of us. You know, J. R. R. Tolkein didn't write fifteen trilogies.

They'll be back.

>>64795533
>They'll be back.
Nick is discovering that doing bigger and better shows with Bryke is too expensive and doesn't earn enough in terms of viewership/commercials and merchandising.

They might wanna come back, but the straight2innernets thing isn't very encouraging.

>>64795618
I hope you're wrong. As much of a trainwreck Korra might have seemed for the past two years, I've really enjoyed discussing it here and just experiencing the roller-coaster that is TLoK. I really want to have the chance to do this again in another five years.

Maybe they can make a trilogy of feature-films. That seems more viable right now than putting it back on television and I would wholeheartedly accept that fate of the franchise. A trilogy about the Earth Avatar before Kyoshi could be dope; just because we don't know anything about him so the possibilities are pretty far-reaching.

I listened to the whole thing but didn't hear that, could you provide a timestamp or something please?

>>64786159
Master benders from the various arts, just like every other Avatar?

>>64778251
The lion-turtles just gave them the ability to bend. The animals taught them how to do it. There's a scene of Wan learning proper firebending from a white dragon.

The animals were still the first benders, they still taught humans how to use the arts. The only change is the extra step of the Lion Turtles giving humans bending.

Book 3 has been pretty good so far, but I'm confident that Bryke will ruin it by the end.

>>64791432
>Depending on how the finale goes it might be the best book In the entire franchise.

That's not really saying much anon, especially when it's not over.

Bryke still has two episodes to fuck everything up, as usual.

>>64795618
Honestly I think the internet is the new way to go. If they had a team away from the studio and pitched a crowdfunded season with an earth avatar I'd pay for it. They can go about it as they want and not be hampered by a network with restrictions and time constraints. I realize those time constraints are an important part, but if they're getting worn down, it could be a plus to let them work on something at a pace that's more comfortable.

>>64791432
Nah. The very fact the main cast is less interesting than the barely characterized villains, and that the main character of the show is almost completely irrelevant to what's going on puts it below ATLA s2 at the very least. You could remove Korra from this season and it would actually increase it's quality. That's fucked

Yuzu's retardation is infecting me.

By that logic Joey is the worst boy because he thought he could beat BEWD by attacking it head on with REBD.

And if you think Joey is the worst boy, then you ain't my nigga

>>64800138
She sold out her husbando because she thought edgeplant looked like him when he doesn't look or sound like him, used different cards, and behaved completely differently. Then, when she tries to git gud, she puts fusion monsters in her main deck, after having seen fusion monsters used in duels. She's retarded. At least Yuma had the excuse of being a fragment of someone's soul, Yuzu just has extra chromosomes.

>>64800190
Joey was using that new duel disk for the first time there, he didn't quite understand what he was doing. Yuzu's dad runs a dueling school, she dueled someone who uses fusion monsters, and she's enough of a dumbass to run fusion monsters in her main deck, not to mention that she doesn't stand by her friends. She's shit.

It'll be good, but it'll only be one kind of ending, so it won't amount to the hundreds of ideas the collective of /co/ has come up with in their heads, so it'll be shit to everyone here. Everyone else will still like it though because they don't spend all day obsessing over it on a website.

>>64800349
The duel disk did change the rules significantly. Neither Joey nor Pegasus were able to figure out how you use it, which fucked over Joey.
Yuzu has seen Sora duel and been schooled by Masumi, she has no excuse beyond a defective mind for not understanding how fusions work.

>>64800444
>how you use it
It is LITERALLY the same exact shit as regular DM.

And if you think not figuring out fusions makes you dense, then what does not figuring out that higher attack monsters beat lower attack monsters mean?

Keep in mind Joey had dueled MULTIPLE opponents before this.

The ONLY difference between the Duel Disk and the regular duels is that with the duel disk only one monster can attack at a time.

HOWEVER, you can STILL set/summon monsters in defense mode, and you can STILL make use of the backrow, all shit Joey DIDN'T DO.

Yuzu is TRAINING right now - as in, she's LEARNING how to play the game. Joey was DUELING in a match AFTER he had trained.

If you're honestly going to say that not knowing how a mechanic works WHILE TRAINING TO LEARN IT somehow makes you worse off than ATTACKING A MONSTER WITH HIGHER ATTACK in a REAL MATCH, then nigga you're just one salty faggot.

>1 monster card is placed on the "Main card stage", the centre place on the disk.
>The other 4 cards are placed face-down into the other places, the "Sub card stage".
>The players can only attack with the monster in the main card stage, providing it is in Attack Position first. It can attack the opponent's main card stage monster or one of the sub stage cards.
>Any monsters in the sub card stage are considered to be in Attack Position and damage calculation is done accordingly. Spell and Trap Cards are destroyed with no calculation done.
>The players may shuffle their sub card stages at their discretion.

Wan learned how to professionally firebend from the dragons.

>>64798811
Not the same guy, but I always thought that it was just a lame addition to the lore of the universe that is way less interesting of a concept than humans learning how to bend from their environments but instead just learning it because something gave them the ability to.

The problems with korra is basically this:

1. Making this tv series. There is NO POINT to make this tv series other than to make a shit zillion dollars.
2. The gaang can't be old. I don't want to see korra the age of my grandma and what she does 70 years after the war.
3. Korra. Her character sucks. All she does is punch and kick to so love everything. Literally she punched to learn airbending and kicked Amon out a window to win.
4. The plot. Avatar - aang must learn the four elements and defeat the fire lord before the comet comes. What's happening in korra? Dbz style bad guys are trying to kill people.
5. The characters that we are told to like vs characters we do like. Everyone loved sokka, suki, azula, etc. nodboy likes the bland characters of korra, mako, etc.

Put some effort into it, at least.

>>64807887
Number four is key here. The other complaints are mostly minor, but Korra's plot is what drags it down.

TLA had the same problem - Rather than giving the story a proper theme, the hero overcomes their conflict via new powers that destroy any applicability the story might have.

Korra has it worse than TLA because its major plot points are more numerous and frequent. TLA had a lot of breathing room for good stand-alone stuff, and the stand alone mini-arcs that Korra's third book started with are the best the series has done so far.

>>64808237
>Honestly from that it just sounds like it's just different from the original Avatar.

Which is the problem. Korra feels like a visual imitation of avatar that feels like it was written by a eight year old with pointless shoehorned references to avatar, dull scenes, terrible action, and the non-existent plot. Korra should be similar to the original because I don't like things that are different. We went from a real iroh who was there to teach us things about bending to a fake looking iroh who was there to drink.

Out of curiosity, how much have you watched? I started Korra and didn't find it that bad at all but it sounds like I should just go watch Avatar instead

>>64808633

You SHOULD go watch Avatar, but not because of that guy's whining.

>>64808633
Watch it for Zuko's plotline. Aang's isn't much better than Korra's.

>>64808633
>Out of curiosity, how much have you watched?

Every single episode. Not impressed. You should just watch avatar season 1-3 and pretend korra is non-canon. Otherwise you have to sit though the shitty "plot" of korra like I have. Literally only reason I watch korra is because it's avatars successor.

>>64808772

I watch it for waifus and lore

>>64808772

I watch it for the character design and the action.

>>64785134
I think part of it is that a lot of people who watched LoK while it aired had high hopes for it so when it didn't live up to its potential there were a lot of disappointed ATLA fans.

Season 2 is garbage though. There are some fun moments and Varrick is great but the antagonist was awful and the Wan episodes, while fun to watch, replaced the mystery of the avatar with a sub par mythos.

>>64808468
Wtf ATLA had energy bending you mong.

Is Avatar a solid show in it's own right or just when compared to Korra? Reason I ask is I'm not really looking into getting into a show, and just decided to check out Korra to see what it's about

>>64809967
It's a lot of great that's kind of soured by a shit ending.

http://strawpoll.me/2388046

>>64809967

It's solid, the ending is kinda bad when you think about it, but the spectacle was great enough to make up for it.

>>64809432
You faggot your trying to say Korra and TLA have the same problem which is introducing new powers to overcome the main conflict but ATLA had this aswell the introduced energy bending to to overcome the conflict you retard. Unless by TLA you mean ATLA not the crappy movie then im sorry but TLA usually refers to the movie.

the next avatar series will be in the 90s and he/she will dress like a rapper with those large pants

The first show with that aribending kid who was like the last airbending kid already proved you wrong.
Heck, Kuruk had only personal problems to solve, like hunting a face-stealing centipede.
Korra brought back airbending nation thanks to not following Apartheid politics, speeding up Tenzin's plans by centuries.

>>64801946
Well, it does explain why not everyone can bend.

>>64801946
I kind of agree. Wan's episodes explained maybe a bit more about the spirit world than we needed explained, and in a way kind of changed what the spirit world was.

However, even before Wan the origins of bending were all over the place, and tales we heard couldn't all have been accurate (otherwise bending would be 100% learned...but also 100% genetic, while still being 100% spiritual)

Just catching up with this. Why did he get an accent?

Come up with a premise for the next potential Avatar series.

Hard Mode: Has to be the next avatar directly after Korra

>>64809967
I like Korra a lot, but this is a good comparison >>64813152

I was thinking back when Iroh bent his tea in BSS. What if tea is a metaphor for cigars?

>>64813355
because, old wise japanese dude

>>64813152
But Phantom Menace was shittier than Attack of the Clones.

>>64813546
Hard Mode: Earthbender who skateboards.
show is about general cliche late 80s/early 90s stuff. Something involving space.

Easy Mode: Wan or the airbender avatar after wan.
show is about the airbenders figuring out what the avatar is, building the temples/the avatar statues, and the world hunting the lion turtles to extinction.

>>64788558
So what was it people hated about the Book 1 finale? Just general bad plot points?

I just finished Book 3 and it's everything I wanted from Korra from the beginning.

A smaller, more contained story that didn't have to be some world ending like Book 2 attempted. It focuses on how the world has changed since The Last Airbender. Getting to see Ba Sing Se still being incompetently ruled and corrupt. The advancement of earth cities like the metal clan. As well as how airbenders are actually trained, something we never saw in The Last Airbender. It doesn't have any forced shitty romance plots. Even side characters like Lin and Tenzin receive the proper attention they deserve. It's a shame they didn't pull this sort of turn initially.

I was about to stop watching this show midway through season two, and that was only because I saw the slightest amount of promise from season one.

It's a shame that its getting low ratings now.

>>64813546
>premise
I just want an avatar that goes full rogue on everybody for a season.

>captcha: A picture of bananas. Not fucking joking what do i type

>>64813631
no, AoC was easily the worst

>>64813694
>Something involving space
Avatar on the moon. Make it happen.

>>64813879
>just finished

So you saw the finale?

And you mention how it didn't have any forced shitty romance plots. By plot you attribute it as something that needs to reach a conclusion rather than just Opal and Kai?

>>64813152
Do you people only know of Star Wars? Every time Korra comes up someone just has to mention the prequels, complete with le ebin 'bryke is lucas' pic.

>>64813752
Amon's backstory, how Korra suddenly got airbending and kicked Amon out a window, how she got all her other bending by Aang appearing "out of nowhere", etc.

>>64813960

>By plot you attribute it as something that needs to reach a conclusion rather than just Opal and Kai?

Yes. They set both of these relationships up for something that could believably go further, in which their initial basis for liking each other seemed plausible.

Will they deliver on it? I doubt it. But I've come to expect that from this series.

>>64772717
That was my reaction to book 2, but I enjoyed book 1 and 3 so far, so unless they pull another book 2 out that shits all over the good, probably not.

>>64813752
amon needed a better reveal imo. That final fight was kind of lame between the two.

scene where he and his brother die was good. really good.

>>64814095
>seemed plausible

How? Jinora likes Kai similar to how Korra liked Mako - for no reason.

And Bolin was just being himself until Mako instructed him to go after Opal.

And by series are you encompassing AtLA too and how Zuko and Mai were a thing along with Katara and Aang.

>>64813752
rushed backstory exposition for the villain

the reveal damaged the coolness of the villain

Amon's offscreen capture of Tenzin's family completely fucked up the weight of Lin's sacrifice to protect them earlier

Korra's defeat of him wasn't a true triumph for her. She lost against him in open combat and failed at her (awful) plan to publicly defame him. She instead got a lucky potshot in and everything else fell into place for her.

Korra's airbending never made use of the forms they bothered to show she learned, the logic as to how she unlocked it was flawed, and the fact she could bend at all even after having it blocked by Amon was all wonky

The easy evaporation of the equalist movement destroyed the social implications of what motivated the movement, which is half of what made it interesting. For it to simply be the result of a cult leader brainwashing half the population damaged the worldbuilding.

Korra immediately got back the rest of her bending, taking away the weight of her loss against Amon and making it a pointless plot element. The fact Aang came to grant it back because she cried like a baby didn't help either

more of a personal opinion, but the murder suicide. It was a hasty and sloppily written way of removing the villains for the story permanently without the heroes really defeating them and with little character development leading up to Tarrlok's decision to An Hero

Really, there's so much I could probably go on all night, but the jist of it was that ist was rushed and consisted of weak writing/plot

>>64813752
The "team Avatar" aspect, the love struggle, the antagonist isn't called out on his bullshit and how the whole city is okay with the elements again, how Korra unlocked airbending, how she get back her elements, Mako, Bolin, the unnecessary inclusion of General Iroh, and fartbending are among the things that struck a chord.

>>64813266
most people with the attention span or intrigue to listen to this aren't raving korra haters

>>64814223

>How? Jinora likes Kai similar to how Korra liked Mako - for no reason.

Jinora hasn't been around any boy besides ones that were at least ten years older than her. She thought Mako was dreamy, at least I think I remember she did. Also going out exploring the other tribes is presumably the first time she's been away from Air Temple island in a while. To me I can understand her liking some street rat rebel when she's lived under Tenzin's roof her whole life. This is somewhat similar to Korra and Mako, sure. But that never went anywhere at all.

>And Bolin was just being himself until Mako instructed him to go after Opal.

I understand where you're coming from here. There is much less reason for him to be into Opal. But at the same time she seems like the most down to earth (no pun intended) girl that he's been around. Korra was the Avatar, and his co-star was a celebrity.

Neither of these relationships have yet faced the adversity that I would expect to truly make them work. So they're not that well realized yet. But's a good start.

Where's the leak ma'am

>>64814362
The only two I can really agree with is tenzin's capture along with korra immediately getting her bending back. There should have been a several month timeskip before the final scene. Both are relatively minor flaws.

>>64814463
I'll attempt to stop asking direct questions to avoid spoilers, we still have another day to go.

Thanks for responding even though now I'm really afraid of Book 4 if those two are still around. That means that love can still come for the other three teens so they can all have someone just because.

>>64814477

The equalist movement dying out so quickly didn't phase you? It's easily one of the most interesting story motivations in the series. A have, vs. have nots in the most extreme of ways. Even with how advanced the Republic City and the rest of the world became as a viewer Its something that was way more apparent in Korra than it was The Last Airbender.

>>64814477
I timeskip wouldn't have alleviated the problem. Being debent was built up to be a menacing, weighty thing. For it to be cured within the same episode, regardless of whatever timeskip there was, removes that weightiness from the viewer's perspective. She should've either not gotten it back until sometime into the next season or she should've never got debent at all

>>64814223
Kids like each other for no reason.

>>64814476
No leak, it seems whoever has seen it is someone in the business who happens to come here for a spell.

The way I saw Korra

S1: Had huge potential, didn't really implement it well and the finale made it worse. Was generally ok

S2: The concepts and idea they were going for was totally over their heads. Light vs Darkness, balance and chaos, etc,etc. God-tier themes in asian (in this case asian influenced) animation, but beyond too much for them to handle properly and it was shitty. Wan two parter are shining gems in the pile of shit that was S2.

S3: Ironically enough, they got their shit together. The pacing is great, the subplots aren't overwhelming, the action is superb, and the familiar feel from the fist avatar series is present in some way. They basically make fun of how shit they were in the previous two seasons in dialogue between the main characters. If the quality from this season was in S1 the future of Avatar might have been very different. There's still time for them to turn it to shit in the finale, like S1 but way worse relatively speaking
