It failed to live up to it's potential, but it's potential was HUGE. End result was a very disappointing, but only at worst mediocre cartoon.

On paper though, every season was fucking amazing. Character and visual design and the general idea of each season was superb. They just fucked the execution so, so bad.

The director that made Avatar: The Last Airbender so good didn't come back for Korra. That's why it wasn't as great as it could have been. I believe he talked Bryke out of some of their worse ideas like Iroh being a bad guy through the whole show.

>>A LOT of failures for Korra but they wove this into the plot so I think I can give them a pass

The problem was they gave her failures but forgot to give her successes. At least Aang could pad out his resume with the mooks he beat up almost every episode.

Korra to me came off potentially talented and powerful but destined to job poorly by the plot.

Remind me, did they ever really acknowledge that overall Korra was pretty shit at the Avatar job?

>>85799512
Yeah I felt that too but couldn't put it into words. They completely broke her down and didn't really fix her. Making her have control of the Avatar State so early probably had a lot to do with making her seem like she failed so hard. She couldn't defeat people with the Avatar State and then she lost it and ended the original Avatar line. They better give her some big victories in the comics.

Generally most people are 7.5 heads tall.

8 heads is just the most ideal figure, proportions wise.

So she's realistic enough, but you also need to keep in mind we're talking about pretty anime-ish proportions anyway.

It was fine. Better than the standard fare. Not perfect but not as terrible as people around here whine about it being.

Reminder, that Amon could have saved us all

>>85802295
Nah.

Season 1 = Strong opening half that was let down by Korra turning out not very likeable, the romance taking too much spotlight, and Korra getting a happy ending served to her on a plate instead of having to work and grow as a bender to get back her powers. 6/10

Season 2 = Even more focus on the not-good romance, a weak villain, Korra remains an unlikeable fuckup who doesn't learn from her mistakes. Best parts were mostly Bolin centric, but even his gags got run into the ground. Animation also took a dive with the new studio helping out taking time to adjust to it. 3/10

Season 3 = Actually pretty legit. Great villain, Korra starts getting to be a far better protagonist despite her continued fuckups, romance is notably less bad. Animation picks back up. 7/10

Season 4 = Korra managed to become a fully likeable character just in time for literally everyone else to become dumpster tier. Worst villain, worst fights, and Korasami was pretty bad because Bryke shoved it in right at the end without proper build-up - likely because they didn't realise Nick would give the okay on it until very late into making the season. 4/10

He was an incredibly annoying and frustrating character in book 1 thanks to his cranky attitude, all the dithering with his romance subplots, and his appearance as a generic angsty hot dude who's supposed to make fangirls wet their pants. But in the later books, the show acknowledged Mako's character flaws and made fun of them, or they just put the guy into uncomfortable situations where you could feel some schadenfreude for his suffering. By the end of the show, I kind of found him an endearing character because of this. He had flaws and he got flack for them.

No, it wasn't a disaster, it was something far worse: wasted potential.

I felt season 4 was a betrayal of sorts. I saw the trailer and was amazed at the new mechs, suits and fascist earthbenders. I was expecting a story following Korra to go on spiritual journeys and recover by training with various masters over the season. Nope instead everything is rushed and the boss battle is shit thanks to needing that lesbian ending.

As I recall, what happened was a combination of 2 things: The show was changed enough so that the more rigid diehard fans of the first series were taken aback, and about 3 episodes in there was a few episodes devoted to romance.

These factors generated a massive shitstorm that was only worsened by some of the more flawed parts of the first season finale and by an overall fairly weak second season.

The Third and Fourth seasons are actually pretty great (if not without flaws) but by then the Shitstorm had gained to much momentum to ever be stopped.

As far as show quality went, for a western animated show it was flawed but above average quality.

As for the ratings drop, I suspect that was mostly due to Nick flubbing things as they usually due (radically different airing times with minimal advertising). But I lack the insider knowledge to make that claim confidently.

Nick ensured it would be. Even with a franchise like Avatar on their hands they can't escape from their spongebob myopia.

>>85805907
I'd actually say Book 1 is vastly better than book 4, even with the flaws book 1 had.

Like >>85802472

>>85806054
Some of it comes down to personal preference obviously, I personally wanted a major earthbending villain ever since they introduced The Dai Li in the first series, plus paring that up with an emergent facist government was a great idea. I'd have to agree that it probably had the most amount of wasted potential next to season 2. The resolution with Kuvira was anti-climactic, a fullscale battle would have been more interesting that the giant robot fight, and Korrasami simply did not have enough development. The resolution of the conflict Amon started had similar problems to Kuvira's but I'd agree that on the whole he was a better, more fleshed out villain, his finale scene was great as well.

As far as flaws/wasted potential goes I don't think anything beats season 2's flubbing of the dark avatar stuff though. Aside from beating up Ravaa I still don't know what the goal was there. What does 10,000 or whatever years of Darkness even mean really?

>>85806266
Going just by the concept of book 2 or possible themes it could have had it should've been my favorite season. They just flubbed too hard, and to this day i can't understand anyone who says it's the best or second best season.

Indeed, The saying usually goes "show don't tell" but they didn't even bother to tell us the motivations involved beyond Unalaq being salty about his brother.

I couldn't tell you what would be bad about Vatuu winning because they didn't even tell us.

Aside from the fact that I guess he'd turn cities into forests?

>>85806414
The pilot was really good but they fired the guy who wrote it and got a bunch of retards to write the rest of the show.

>>85806462
I'm guessing it would be like in Wans time at best, fewer humans at worst. They just fucked up in general by introducing Vaatu/Raava, and fucked up even more when they didn't manage to do it in Yin/Yang style

>>85806414
It had a reboot some years ago, it was kicked off by an hour or so long pilot that featured pretty good animation great character redesigns and a darker tone to the story, where the Cats' Kingdom gets overthrown by races they had been treated as lesser (Mumra was backing them). It set the series up as the Lion-o and the rest adventuring about to restore the kingdom and take down Mumra.

Then the series pretty much devolved into simplistic morality tale of the week episodes before being cancelled.

It did still have some good bits here and there though.

>>85806455

>>85806656
Think there's a North Korea styled chunk of the Earth Kingdom now, all filled up with earth empire remnants?

>>85806593
It comes down I think to how Nick ordered the production, first it was just season one, then midway through that they ordered season 2, then just after season 1 aired they ordered the last 2.

It's probably way season one felt like it was resolved too easily, season two dealt with important lore elements in a rushed manner, and seasons three and four were better overall quality because they actually had some time to plan things through.

>>85806656

I'd like to think there's still tons of loyalists to the Earth Empire holding several of the provinces of the EK and refuse to give up. Her army was massive, there's no way they just all gave up and went home and accepted democracy after 3 years of uniting the land.

>>85805237
>>85805688
I've watched the first part now and it feels more like nitpicking fanwankery than in-depth constructive criticism. Legend of Korra had a lot of flaws that make it a pretty interesting case study on how not to write a story, and I've enjoyed discussions where people here analyze the show's writing and narrative. However, that first video seems to go for the most shallow criticisms it can point out, and I don't think it's making a very compelling argument.

Asami literally spent months by Korra's side while she was dying of poisoning while the guys were out not giving a fuck. Who the fuck do you think washed Korra's sweaty body that whole time

>>85809270
It wasn't even 1 month, and we don't know if Asami even did anything for Korra other than help her put on jewelry for Jinoras ceremony.

Other than the porn, yes.

>implying washing Korra's sweaty body wasn't a privilege Mako, Asami and Bolin fought in a 10 day battle royale for

The fucking story continues after the ceremony you know?

>>85809725
Yeah and thats when she's at home in the south without Asami. Her parents take care of her, and most likely she was taken care of by the air acolytes before that.

I would actually love to see Korra becoming fat fuck after her disability and self pity moment

>>85809952
not him, but the fact is that you don't know how much time they spent together, and you don't even know if other people helped. That said, helping a friend in need is not romantic.

>>85809952
There's no flashbacks of Asami taking care of Korra. There's a scene of them getting ready for the ceremony together and that's it.

No, just ultimately underwhelming, mostly because of flaws in the writing.

Book 3 is good though.

Season 1 = shit
Season 2 = how did it ever get this bad?
Season 3 = bad
Season 4 = shit

No, but the series finale was. Jesus Christ, the only other thing I can think of that ended so badly that it retroactively harmed the rest of the series was Mass Effect 3. Everything but the last 10 or so minutes of the series was great. ATLA was ultimately still much better though.

Season 3 should be considered the end point, it's quite frankly perfect in every way and the ending is very emotionally resonant. Season 4 is best scrubbed from history and forgotten.

I'd be inclined to agree with you except you'd lose too much Prince Wu and Varrik

Ten minutes in and he's still hasn't started his critique.
