There's probably going to be comic news next weekend.

>>86684994

You do? Oh, man. Bad news, OP. You might be clinically retarded.

>>86684994
I do too, but I really don't want to see any post-book 4 stuff pretending that Korrasami is the most loving and greatest relationship that ever existed.

>>86688114
I actually thought the pacing in season 1 was meh. Knowing they meant for it to be sort of like a mini-series it made a lot more sense, but for a full-fledged show it didn't work, and that was obvious once the show hit season 2.

I'll never forgive them for the lore asspull, even if the first avatar episodes were pretty good.

I understand blaming Mako for being far more relevant in the "Varrick taking over Future Industries" subplot than she was.

But Asami did nothing at all in Books 3 and 4 except suck up to Korra and drive the getaway vehicles while every other character was off doing something in the plot.

Depends on how long a period of time they want to cover. Or if this is her new hair to denote being bisexual.

Problems are that Zuko cut his hair to blend in but keep on fighting for honor. Korra cut her hair to hide from herself and at another low point in her life. Zuko grew his back out so if they keep Korra with that same hair it is like she is stuck in that time in her life.

Zuko did end up going for an anime prince look over the bald ponytail after growing back his hair.

Korra might keep hers after Meelo and Asami both told her that they liked her new style.

Oh God I'm glad someone else realized Korra cutting her hair wasn't some epic Mulan moment, it's literally a haircut representing the worst part of her life. She should grow it back out.

Hey /co/,

Wanna party, for old time's sake?

Just started this. What can I expect?

>>86698969
Endless disappointment.

>>86698969
Golden potential in character design, art, music and general premise, ultimately never adequately brought out because the writers flubbed the execution pretty hard.

Still decent.

>>86698969
Greatest potential wasted of all time

>>86699033
>>86699037
>>86699051
Should I just drop it then? Just finished the first episode and it was pretty cool.

>>86698969
Don't expect ATLA. Korra's more like an Avatar-themed miniseries that got another 3 seasons.

>>86699075
It's still worth watching. The majority of the disappointment comes from failing to live up to it's rather enormous potential and distinguished pedigree.

>>86697733

I essentially equated it with someone having a mid-life crisis. It essentially represented Korra not wanting to be Korra anymore and cutting ties with her past. It happens when you hit that brick wall of depression, people do drastic changes. My sister-in-law hit a huge moment of depression and went from your blonde, preppy girl to goth girl over night (She also let herself go in the following months and gained a bunch of weight.)

>>86688285
/u/ is the worst from tumblr mixed with the worst from /a/. Basically what you get if an autistic waifufag and a sjw have a baby together

>>86699075
I guess it depends on what you liked in that episode.

>>86699075
>Should I just drop it then? Just finished the first episode and it was pretty cool.

It's fun to play a game with others about how many mistakes in storytelling and writing you can find. Just don't make it a drinking game with potent alcohol.

>>86699144
And her deciding to keep that haircut forever and ever would be like being stuck in that mid-life crisis on certain level.
Her culture has a thing for long hair anyway and it would be easier to draw in a ponytail of sorts rather than keeping it consistently short and moving during action in panels.

>>86697784
>5 stars
what the fuck hiro

>>86699243
It kinda goes hand in hand with the way she is portrayed at the end of book 4.

>>86699408
>the way she is portrayed at the end of book 4.
That whole "save the cat" vibe?

>>86699464
Not sure what that vibe is. But the whole "i derserved all that happened" and the fact that she never got back anywhere near her old self before it ended. Seems fitting that the hairstyle signifying she was trying to hide who she was, wasn't changed back.

Though im pretty sure that wasn't what Bryke wants you to think.

>>86699243
>And her deciding to keep that haircut forever and ever would be like being stuck in that mid-life crisis on certain level.

It's just hair, in the end it just depends on which hairstyle she likes the most.

>>86699570
It's pretty clear symbolism, just like it was with Zuko in Atla.

And Zuko ends up copying his dad's exact hairstyle as an adult. What is that supposed to mean?

>>86699086

Which is precisely what it was. It was originally intended to be a one-shot series, only later being expanded to 4 seasons.

>>86699665
He leaves the fire nation behind when he cut his hair, and only goes back to it once he is the new firelord, when he joins the fire nation again.

Korra cuts her hair to hide her identity, and never grows it back out again.

>>86699762
>and only goes back to it once he is the new firelord, when he joins the fire nation again.
He doesn't exactly grow back the same bald ponytail he used to have.

>>86699821
No he goes back to fire nation hair style. Zuko wouldn't go back to his ponytail since he moved on from the person that wore it.

Korra didn't move on, she has the exact hairstyle she got when she was ashamed of herself and trying to hide her identity. They didn't even try to change it.

>>86699846
The top knot is the main Fire Nation hairstyle, the anime hair he kept for most of the third season isn't really Fire Nation exclusive especially since he already kind of had it by the time of the book 2 finale while he was still in hiding.

Anyhow, there wasn't really much time during the events of book 4 for Korra to fully grow back enough hair to what she used to have or to something new.

>>86699978
She could have gone for a ponytail, or a suki like hairstyle. The point is just that haircutting can be symbolic, and definately is in these cases. And it's clear that Korra didn't move on from her problems like Zuko did.

>>86699978
>there wasn't really much time
Six months. Aang had a Ivy League cut in a few weeks and Zuko's hair grew out during Book 2 and all of ATLA took place within a year.

There is also evidence of Zuko improving to show that his life is taking a better turn with him controlling his life. Korra didn't show such an improvement.

Short hair makes her look a little more mature, which is a good thing for the end of the series.

I generally like all the visual changes they did for the timeskip.

I miss Korra too, mostly because of the ending. I thought it was pretty cool that the best thing the main character could do for their own sake is divorce themselves from their identity as the choses one. People really seem to like the idea of "Main character is the special, therefor they must become a hero and nothing else" where Korra just said "Fuck it, I'm going to scissor my girlfriend in the spirit world. Figure your shit out by yourself."

I think it could have been executed better, but at least it was something kind of different.

Legend of Korra was a massive disappointment after season 1. She was never competent. She never became a better Avatar across 4 fucking seasons. She was always, ALWAYS getting her shit slapped and fucking up the whole way through; and arguably her greatest accomplishments was fixing her own goddamn mistakes.

It was a show that feels like it was written in real time.

They didn't dyke out. It's the flimsiest conclusion to draw from the ending. The point was to give Korra a companion and not a romantic partner as she begins her new identity as not the biggest fuck up of the Avatars.

The point is that it's about Korra becoming a more mature and competent adult on her own.

They should have built the Red Lotus into the over-arching enemies of LoK. It would have given some much needed continuity to the different seasons instead of just cleaning up the fuck-ups of the previous season.

And Korra needed to win fights on a regular basis. The Avatar had enough personality flaws without being weak.

>useful advice from a previous avatar
Implying that any previous avatar has ever given good advice that wasn't literally linked to a situation they personally fucked up.

Roku was only helpful because Aang was asking about shit Roku caused and Aang was only helpful because Korra was dealing with shit Aang caused. Just like Kiyoshi's only useful moment was when Aang was dealing with her fighting Conqueror bro, and Wan's useful story was useful because Korra was fighting Vatu and dealing with Raava.

The next avatar will be dealing with fallout from the shit Korra started and dealt with, and so only Korra is going to offer any helpful advice, because what the fuck would Aang, Roku, Kiyoshi or anyone prior know about fighting technology-equipped factions, new age dictatorships or dealing with a modern, spirit-linked world? All erasing the previous avatar line did was make the avatar state less competent, but by the time Korra dies, she's going to be a solid bender in all four elements and also knows metalbending, unlike the previous shitters.

The next avatar will be fine.

Honestly, Korra's advice will still be better than the complete radio silence Korra had to put up with.

>>86705647
>because what the fuck would Aang, Roku, Kiyoshi or anyone prior know about fighting technology-equipped factions, new age dictatorships or dealing with a modern, spirit-linked world?

That you don't fight a technology-equipped faction but rather try diplomacy and make it so that they can't build too much if worse comes to worse.

That you don't allow dictatorships to form because you check on the people.

That you don't have a spirit-linked world because that's a terrible idea.

And erasing the past avatar line made it so that Korra couldn't even fight Kuvira or her mech properly. Kyoshi split a continent so with that power Korra could have sunk the mech upside in lava if she hadn't lost them. Aang successfully chased Ozai to the point where Ozai was exhausted when Korra couldn't even do that to Zaheer and kept getting hit because she couldn't do an air shield despite later doing it anyway in season 4.

The next Avatar will be fine. BUT only because it will be a situation like Korra where they emphasize the chucklefucks around said Avatar rather than the past life. They'll need their own Mako and Jinora.

>>86705723
>and bailing her out everytime shit got too hard.

Kind of funny people say this of Korra when Aang had the literal plot device state activate whenever he had in trouble.

>>86705647
Even with Aang, he ignored nearly all the advice he got from his past lives and just did what the lion turtle taught him to do.

>>86705760
>better than the complete radio silence Korra had to put up with.
Korra only got radio silence because she never tried. She makes a connection the moment she centers herself in Tarrlok's fun house, which makes it seem like she never actually tried in the past nor ever tried in the future (Book 2.)

>>86705777
>Kyoshi split a continent so with that power Korra could have sunk the mech upside in lava if she hadn't lost them.
It's not her fault Bryke gave the mech impenetrable plotonium armor. The avatar state in Korra was nerfed from the get-go, and even then Korra still should have been able to destroy the mech. She didn't because every time she attacked with boulders the size of houses her attacks bounced off harmlessly whereas when a bunch of kids attacked it it was blown away by fucking air.

>>86705437
Avatars can only really get advice from a few avatars back. They can't go a thousand years in the past. Bad avatars have probably been a recurring problem that have really held back later good avatars.

Regardless though, Korra is getting pretty wise by the end of Book 4. She will be quite the sage by the time she is old.

>>86705797
He went with his heart and his upbringing.

Be decisive.
Only justice can bring peace.
Actively shape your destiny.
Do whatever it takes to protect the world.

All can be used to reinforce Aang's decision to try that risky technique plus he did stand up to Ozai. Korra's the one that kept running away or crying during the final battles.

>>86705777
>Aang successfully chased Ozai to the point where Ozai was exhausted when Korra couldn't even do that to Zaheer and kept getting hit because she couldn't do an air shield despite later doing it anyway in season 4.

You mean the same Aang who got his shit pushed in during avatar state by one bolt from Azula?

>>86705816
>The avatar state in Korra was nerfed from the get-go

That's a poor excuse to use for Korra. Sure everything comes back to the terrible writing by the writers, but Korra has the power within her yet never uses it.

And the air attack by the Air Nation hit the mech but didn't do much while Korra's solo hit with air caused Kuvira to stumble and made the mech falter for a bit. Korra's attack actually did something but they couldn't let her solo the mech because then everyone else wouldn't get a chance to shine in the Legend of Korra which is a story about everyone.

>>86705848
>You mean the same Aang who got his shit pushed in during avatar state by one bolt from Azula?

And didn't lose the past lives and managed to still be just as powerful and didn't take 2.5 years to heal, and then when she is healed she actually isn't really healed until she is and then she isn't but then it's okay she spoke to her would-be killer who is the only person who understands her so, yes.

To be fair you can't compare some sucker shot to the back from a teenager that got healed right away with plot device magic water to getting tentacle raped by the nega-Avatar or getting shoved like 10 pounds of poison that is supposed to perma-fuck up every single internal organ.

>>86706102
>that got healed right away with plot device magic water
Why didn't they use that water again anyway? It brought someone back from the dead, it's powerful.

>>86704118
It's just too bad that coming up with vague ideas isn't actually that hard. It's making those ideas into a story that is compelling and internally consistent that is the hard part.

>>86705620
Sure change her haitstyle, but also show how she is different from before along with it. Give her back some of that fire she had in Book 3, and some of that spark people really liked from the promo stuff.

>>86706274
Plotbending

With Aang they wanted the Fire Nation to think that Aang was dead, for him to have to deal with having failed in Ba Sing Se but also needed Aang to be at full stength in the Fire Nation undercover adventures, so he gets plot device magic healing water.

With Korra they wanted her to go through a long recovery arc so she has to learn to walk again, deal with PTSD and deal with no longer having the strength to make a difference so she doesn't get plot device magic healing water.


If you need an in-universe explanation just make up something about how the spirit water can't heal poison, or that the NWT ran out of that water.

>>86705816
Not just the Avatar state, bending in general was nerfed pretty hard and only started to recover by book 3.

>>86705885
It's a good explanation because Korra doesn't have the power within her since the writers removed that power. Had they kept the Avatar state up to par with Atlas the mech would have been toast the second Korra could get to it, but it wasn't because they reduced the power of the Avatar state. Same happened in basicly every season she had the AS.

>>86705818
How was she wise exactly? The only real difference was that she tried out diplomacy and when it failed didn't go straight to violence.

She was wise by the end. She talked Kuvira down. She will probably be wise as fuck within 20 years.

>>86706701
I disagree, Kuvira talked herself down while Korra did nothing to help that, she was just spouting nonsense.

>>86706727
The entire point of Book 4 was Korra learning what it feels like to be helpless and what that does to someone. That allowed her to talk Kuvira down.

>>86706753
Too bad she still can't relate at all to Kuvira and had no idea how to deal with the situation in the EK or even RC. They try to pass her off as wise, but it's very clear that she isn't in fact wise at all.

Just look at her statement about herself. She had to learn compassion from suffering. Too bad she was allready compassionate before she was made to suffer.

Her helplesness was self induced too, unlike Kuviras, since Korra had nothing but support but didn't take the help that was offered to get better.

- oh, really? i never noticed. You're totally right. I spent 3 goddamn years working hard thinking it was for this country, but no. It was daddy issues. You're right, let me just stop.

>>86706806
The point of Book 4 is right there. I'm not about to lay out the OBVIOUS intent of the writers over several posts just so you can switch the topic to how much you dislike the writing.

>>86706832
t. fascistboo

Understanding one's insecurities can have a profound effect on one's perspectives. Fascism has always been about fear.

>>86706701
When people are all set to change the motherfucking country, i don't think you can "change their mind" like that, unless you use a LOT of logic and correctly show the flaws in what the other guy thinks. Korra used none of that.

>>86706832
>daddy issues
Pretty sure it was mother issues

>>86706833
The intent doesn't matter when they can't put it into writing.

The fact is that Korra didn't get wiser from book 4, she got more depressed if anything. She learned nothing about the world during her time, and she didn't in fact experiance Kuviras helplessness. Their experiances are entirely different and they have almost nothing in common.

She still hasn't learned much about human interactions either, or about spirits and their impact on the world. Nothing about how dangerous it is to remove a power figure without someone to step in, afterall she supported Wu's decision to throw the EK into another possible civil war.

So again, how exactly was she wise? You have yet to explain why she would be considered as such. And don't say, "it's the intent" or "she just is".

>>86706861
i think when you're prepared to kill people for your goals, a simple 'you have daddy issues' won't change your mind. Do you honestly think people are retarded? objectively speaking Kuvira was still doing the best for the nation in a sense (it was literal chaos before).

Korra could have pointed out the issues with her system, but instead goes for daddy issues, the weakest form of argument.

Also, it's not exactly fascism what Kuvira is doing, and a dictatorship/monarchy is not always about fear. Do you honestly think everyone on her side was there because of fear? her soldiers liked her, and even the people of Ba Sing Se are shown to like what Kuvira was doing.

like when she left the south without telling anyone, making all her friends and family worried?

or like when she spent months in the earth nation and didn't even know what Kuvira was up to and had to be info dumped? or when her entire 'try diplomacy' with Kuvira in Zaofu was basically saying "kuvira, you have to stop because people said so"?

or do you mean 'on the very end' when she tried to talk down the person she just punched into submission?

That's the problem right there. I was talking about where the writers were going with her. If they brought her back as an old woman she would be sage tier wise. I don't give a fuck about your complaints about the writing.

inb4 you tell me the subject of my original post doesn't matter

I get it. You don't like the writing, but the thing is, I don't care. This thread has been done a thousand times before.

>>86707117
We all know the logic. They didn't have a master plan coming out of Book 1 so they settled on Asami because it worked but pussied out of making the relationship development substantial. You can't end a series on a first date. You got to end on a kiss else what's the fucking point?

>>86707278
What i don't like is that you say she is wise, when that isn't the case.

Whatever happens later on and how she ends up as an old lady is irrelevant to book 4s portrayal of Korra, since we simply don't know how she will develop over time.

You're the one who stated she was pretty wise by the end but didn't manage to explain why. I have on the other hand given you many examples of things Korra could have become wise about, but wasn't.

I don't hate Korra, and i don't hate the writing of book 4, with a few exceptions, but she didn't become wise by the end. Intention or not.

>>86707278
according to your logic, they will bring her back with the intention of making her a wise sage, but she will be dumb as fuck due to writing. Which means it's still a shitty option.

>You're the one who stated she was pretty wise by the end but didn't manage to explain why
Yes, the intent of the writers for over the course of the 4 books was to show Korra getting over her youthful failings.

Aang could relate with his enemies to an extent. Korra never could. Toph taught Korra that everyone she faced before had justifiable motives, something Korra hadn't acknowledged until then. This culminated in Korra having a heart to heart with Kuvira after Korra had defeated her, showing that she had gotten over that key difference she had with Aang.

Aang could relate to enemies but ran away from his problems and it took 3 books for him to finally PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH his problems to resolution. Korra had no problem with PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH but couldn't relate to her villains and it took her 4 books to learn how to see things from their perspective.

>>86707461
>It's objectively shit.

It was still Avatar in a vaguely 1920's steampunk setting. The novelty wore out by the 4th season but it was nonetheless a cool and worthwhile concept.

"I'll tell ya what that Kuvira needs, the old Fire Navy Handshake - two in the pink, one in the stink"

>>86707549
i don't think anyone thinks LoK had good writing; not even you. Also, when something is objective, it's not about "agreeing on it". It's how it just is. Kuvira going inside RC with a giant mecha that can shoot at kilometers of distance is objectively shit writing; there is no reason for her to do that, and she can just send her army if she even needs to go inside; something that she clearly does not.

>>86707522
But the problem is that it isn't what happens. Korra tries to get over her youthfull failings, and fails at it so she goes back to her old ways again.

And you're just flatout wrong about Korra not relating to her enemies. She understands Amon and that there are problems with non-bender/bender relations, but doesn't know how to deal with it.
She knows there's a spirit problem but doesn't know how to deal with it and ends up doing Unalaqs job for him, because she related that much to him.
She understood Zaheers problem with corrupt rulers, but didn't accept his way of dealing with that problem.
So her being told that by Toph doesn't change much beyond accepting something we allready knew, that Korra was struggling with, namely that she agreed to an extend with the villains, but thought that she shouldn't.

And the thing about her heart to heart is that in this case Korra in fact can't relate, but just goes with what Kuvira tells her. So either Korra was wise all along (not really the case) or she didn't become wise.

Also worth noting that she did in fact try to talk with Zaheer early on but it didn't work out.

>>86707522
>Aang could relate with his enemies to an extent

I was emphasizing that point just to contrast Korra really. The heart of Aang's problem is that he runs away from his problems, which CAN be construed as Aang not seeing everything as black and white like Korra does.

I played it. I enjoyed it more than the show but it was still subpar because Korra didn't have anyone interesting to interact with. Gotta remember, half the LoK sucked is the supporting cast was just so damn uninteresting outside of the porn.

I mean like a complete out-of-left field inclusion in a arcade-style beat-em up or fighting game. Like, I want to see her show up in the new Dissidia or something. Her powerset feels like it'd make for a pretty good moveset in that game series, plus Team Ninja's soft engine means we get one hell of an SFM model of her.

>>86707806
The show doesn't lie Anon. She related to all the villains but didn't know how to deal with their issues and disagreed with their method. The Toph episodes a primarily about stopping Korra from feeling special and a failure because of it. And that more importantly you can't dwell on your failings. You have to let go essentially.

And had they wanted to make her wiser, they could have had her talk down Kuvira without resorting to personal issues without adressing why Kuviras actions where wrong.

The problems were almost entirely manufactured by the nonbending extremists themselves though. Book 1 is deeply stupid in some ways because the actual problem with Republic city was the fact that it was a colony ruled by foreign powers, not that there were benders ruling it. The council was chosen so because they represented each of the world's CULTURES, not because they could heat up their tea without fire.

Actually she does think the queen is ruling wrong, that she treats her people horribly and essentially steals their money. But she doesn't know how to deal with this issue, she can't just go and remove the rightfull queen of the EK after all.

>even if she never actually said that, and told Suyin she doesn't have any opinion about the queen?
She outright says she doesn't like the queen but that removing her isn't the right call to Zaheer. When she's talking to Suyin she doesn't support Suyins idea of removing the queen either.

The issue is that defending one specific right doesn't mean Korra finds that equalism is somehow right or that she now agrees with every issue they defend. Just because she is defending this particular injustice that she saw with her own eyes, it doesn't mean that she now fights, or even have any opinion, about other injustices in society that equalism defends

yeah, way back on that season Korra said that she wanted to punch her face because the queen lied to her, and not because of how she treats her people.

Wait wait, i never said she defended the equalists. She can relate to them and see it from their point of view, but doesn't condone their solutions.

>...and not because of how she treats her people.
That and she considered the queen to be abducting the airbenders. She would like the queen removed, but can't just remove her because of the queen is the rightfull ruler at the time.

>that's not what she said to Suyin.
sry, my bad. Korra does want the queen removed, but doesn't support Zaheers way of doing it. Thats why im saying she can relate to his position that corrupt leaders are a problem and shouldn't be leaders, but removing them by force isn't the solutions.

The original poins is if Korra can aknowledge the point of view of the enemy, even if she doesn't agree with their methods. If she doesn't realize, show or express in any way her approval of the original issues the equalists had for their movement, how is it that she 'relate' to them?

About zaheer, while she doesn't agree with his methods, it doesn't looks like she agrees with his way of thinking either; that the leaders are corrupt i mean. Actually, it doesn't look like she have any opinion about it as the show wasn't very clear on that point. Even if they wanted to show that she realize by herself the enemies's point of view, the writers did an awful job that can barely pass as intention.

>>86709841
But she did, as with the example of curfew. She supports the non-benders that are being unfairly oppressed.

She says about the world leaders:"I don't agree with them, but taking them out isn't the answer" If that doesn't mean that she sees the problem Zaheer has with incompetent leaders, but disagreeing about his methods, i don't know how it could be made clearer.

I miss Lok and atla. What bothered me the most with it was how good season 3 ended off with and practically sets up season 4 but they forgot half way what they were going to do.
>there are still more red lotus members out there
>air nomads are going to go everywhere and do the avatars job while she recovers

Instead, we get an episode about the air nation failing, and kuvira taking over the earth Kingdom for a lousy reason they couldn't bother giving her an episode to explain.
Then no site of the red lotus was a disappointment beyond belief. They could have just have carried that idea over but they went with kuvira.

With that being said. I still liked lok.

I'd imagine the logical choice would be to pick a random avatar we haven't seen yet pre Kiyoshi and do a series about them.

Any more modern than LoK would probably be pushing it, and going back a few centuries in history would allow lots of freedom in story and setting.

>>86712903
>Any more modern than LoK would probably be pushing it

Clearly the solution is AVATAR OF THE FUTURE!!

>>86712886
22 episodes for all the 4 previous seasons? I could dig it. Wouldn't giving someone the same number of episodes and same premise and just let them fix LoKs mistakes.

>>86712918
I unironically want a future, modern day avatar. It would be neat to see what kind of scenario they'd come up with.

Anyone hate how LoK was too advanced?

I mean shit ATLA took place in what would be I think 400 A.D ancient China technology wise right?

Korra should have taken place around 1000 A.D China.

>>86712871
>but I really wish that the leaders of the Red Lotus weren't a bunch of convicts
Pretty sure that Zaheer said that they aren't leaders of Red Lotus and that there are more of them, and they only became convicts after they formed the Red Lotus.

>>86712977

>>86712992
Yeah, because ancient China had jet skis, tanks, submarines, trains and giant drills.

>>86712992
It only really became an issue for me with book 4 where they went full mecha/mordern looking tech.

Nope. It made sense. The Fire Nation was already pretty advanced, and they turned a small balloon into giant airships within a year. They had giant drills, metal tanks, refrigerators, coal-fueled metal ships, etc. They already were pretty industrial. After the war, it only makes sense for them to share their advancements with the world and for the world to begin advancing technologically without the war holding it back.

I mean, IRL we went from most people still using horses in 1900 to putting people on the moon in 1969.

>>86713133
>to putting people on the moon in 1969.
OR DID WE?

>>86713053
Its obvious Fire Nation was glorious Nippon while everyone else was 400 A.D China. Also the Ba Sing Se trains are movedby earthbending, they didnt have industrial rails till Book 4 in LoK.

>>86713133
Thats purely due to the invention of circuit a gateway technology that allows a myriad of other technologies, without electricity we would still be the medieval ages in terms of technology even to this day.

Even if they can generate electricity there is still time needed to invented transformers, wires, engines, and transistors so the tech we see in LoK is bullshit.

>>86713157
Yeah, Avatar Nixon was the world's greatest metalbender and pushed the rocket up to the moon himself

>>86713216
Explain the giant drill and the tanks then

>>86712977
I'd be completely fine with them having 25 episodes to fix season 1 and 2. Carry amon over to season 2, drop unalaq as a bad guy and make him Korras spirit teacher. Make Korra lose airbending then have her travel making spiritual connections and eventually getting other bending back. Then taking out amon in an actual fight.

>>86713295
>Korra's journey through the spirit world, overcoming themed challenges to unlock her bloodbent chakras and regain her bending and the avatar state

Steam powered

>>86713271
It worked by momentum of gears shifting and cranking not electricity.

Roman knews about electricity but they had no idea how to really use it, you need a metal that conducts electricity to even use it then have the energy be converted into say kinetic energy to move the part of a machine this momentum is then transferred from gear to gear operating the machine.

Light bulbs are not possible in Avatar because they dont even know what the noble gases are not would have the science on how to create filaments either.

So having electric tech in avatar is impossible.

Though they could be steam powered.

>>86713347

You could honestly take any individual season or group of seasons and make them amazing. Doesn't even need more episodes than they got.

>>86713295
>>86713317
You'd have to rewrite a lot of Korra's book 1 arc and personality to get that to work. As it is, it just comes off as unnecessarily punishing her.

>>86713373
They call air "air" they dont even what gas elements are. Also you would need to heat up and ionize air to produce plasma which would create light then contain in a transparent object that wont melt from the heat to create a lightbulb. Firebenders are walking light sources though.

Was Korra not successful?

Why is there no Avatar 3?

I kind of would like to see older Ang stories or older Korra in a more futuristic setting.

>>86713439
They call earth "earth" too, but they can identify other and individual compounds within it. Why would air be any different?

>>86713474

Avatar 2 and the movie made fuck all money.

>>86713476
Human tribes have classify different rocks and metals before we had civilizations but classifying the invisible mixture of gas in front of you is harder than it looks without chemical knowledge.

Also rather than electricity they should learn to use chi powered technology.

>>86713474
>Was Korra not successful?
It was but I think not enough for Nick to seriously invest in keeping the franchise going, but it's probably because they've never really known what to do with it more than Korra not making enough money.

>Why is there no Avatar 3?
Mike and Bryan are burnt out and want to try different things and Nick doesn't know how to treat Avatar well. Chances are there will be another entry in the series but not for a few more years.

>>86685215

Volton is a moderate subsidiary but still doesnt really come close.

>>86713216
>Even if they can generate electricity there is still time needed to invented transformers, wires, engines, and transistors so the tech we see in LoK is bullshit.

So it's perfectly reasonable for us to advance a ton in ~70 years but it's bullshit when the Avatar world does the same when one nation is already pretty damned advanced?


>>86713347
>Light bulbs are not possible in Avatar because they dont even know what the noble gases are

Do you have proof of that?

> not would have the science on how to create filaments either.

And they can't discover that when not stuck in a 100 year war?

>>86713474
>Was Korra not successful?

Nickelodeon didn't like that it was successful and sabotaged its ratings.

>Why is there no Avatar 3?

Because Bryke want to take a break and work on separate projects for now. They'll eventually return to avatar though.

just because you support one given situation it doesn't mean you will support in another or will support another belief of a movement. Let's say they were also defending equal pay for benders and nonbenders, Korra doesn't automatically approves of that.

>She says about the world leaders:"I don't agree with them, but taking them out isn't the answer"
you're reading too much into it; not only some of those world leaders are her parents, one of them she didn't even met. At that point the only leaders she met that weren't family were Raiko (that kicked her out and didn't help her in S02) and the earth queen (that kidnapped airbenders). Not agreeing with them doesn't mean she thinks they are corrupt, or that she even gave any thought on that matter.

While true, we see that she is against Tarrlok almost all the time for various reasons, and we don't see her ever be against equality between non-benders and benders. The closest to that would be when the equalists want to descriminate against benders.

>you're reading too much into it
Not really since Zaheer is talking specificly about Raiko as a moron, and the Queen as corrupt. Then he suggests to remove them and that she agrees with him, which she doesn't as it isn't the right way to go about it.

They already had mechas in Book 1, it makes sense that they'd eventually figure out how to make them be able to properly walk. Also>>86713701

>>86713701
there was a goddamn engine on the mecha. Clearly it wasn't being pushed around with bending. They wouldn't even be able to see where the hell they were bending stuff or what direction they should go. Also, in S01 we had nonbenders riding bipedal mechas, so it is unlikely they were moving the giant one with bending.

>>86713751
The book 1 mechas are basicly forklifts though. Asami even mentions that they function exactly like forklifts. They very different from bipedal personal mechs, flying by wing power mechs, and a building sized mecha, which they can't actually produce with metal bending since it is made with a platinum shell.

Yeah, that's the problem.

by the way, they were moved mechanically, since nonbenders could use it.

at least get a video where we can actually see her moving the entire mecha with her bending.

And again, nonbenders in S01 were moving bipedal machines.

>>86714007
What? Korra didn't know about that until the last or second last episode.

No he mentions them both specificly as examples of poor leaders that he thinks should be killed. Korra has experienced their incompetence but doesn't agree with killing them.

>>86713901
But like you said, the early mechas were like forklifts. the Book 4 mechas are just an advancement on that.

We don't have tanks that can flip over and climb mountains, but the Avatar World does.

We don't have mecha-forklift-things or bipedal mechas, but the avatar world does.
