Well.....Legend of Korra and that homosexual ending.

oh yeh, Iceman turning gay because Jean Grey is a Yaoi lover.

I´m not usually disappointed by much of the media I consume, but what comes to mind right now is the direction in which Kung Fu Panda 3 was taken. I loved the first two movies because not only were they funny, they were also interesting and dramatic. Especially the second one; that one was surprisingly serious for a movie titled Kung Fu Panda. So, I expected Kung Fu Panda 3 to be even darker or at least just as dark as the second one, but instead it got goofier and dumber, and not in such a funny way. The "pandas are lazy" joke was dead on arrival and it just kept coming back. Not that I didn't enjoy the movie; it had some pretty good action scenes and the animation looked fantastic. I was just disappointed in the tone and plot of the movie.

Star Wars Rebels: Season Two. Holy shit was that season mediocre as fuck, the first season was alright, but when they started bringing in the cameos from the movies and TCW series, it turned to shit.

Season three is ok, but I've just lost interest in the show as a whole. The worst part is, is you can't talk about the shows shortcomings in the General without being labeled a shitposter. They can't stand it when you call out poor writing or say that Filoni isn't as good as he used to be.

>>89340562
While being a great disappointment for essentially crashing and burning since it started, I'd say what are greater disappointments are the good or really great shows that haven't been able to continue.

Korra was a disappointment. I loved pretty much everything except writing. Otherwise I've mostly just been surprised with shows, when I watch cartoons my expectations are already at the bottom so I don't get disappointed too often.

Maybe another one would be Steven Universe? It had quite interesting premise, but it's just lesbians lusting each other, crying and musical numbers. They miss out lot of potential.

LoK was technically a success. It gets decent reception outside of /co/ and its merchandise sells. Its ratings dropped and its bad writing was a sizeable factor, but executive meddling also has to be taken into account.

Unless the writers say that Nickelodeon walked into their offices and said "Be sure to make it terrible and force things together," then executive meddling had no bearing on the atrocious writing and inane ideas.

>>89345794
>LoK was technically a success
it lost so many viewers that it had to be pulled out of air

>It gets decent reception outside of /co/ and its merchandise sells
the only 'good reception' it gets are from places that don't care about story. Ign, and some other sites were literally saying "has lesbians. 10/10". And also, if you're talking about 'reception', what about the MILLIONS of people that stop watching it? it's the ones that DON'T talk about LoK that you have to account for. About merchandise, i doubt it sells that well considering the time it took for them to come out, and the narrow audience.

>executive meddling also has to be taken into account
the thing is, even in ATLA executive meddling was an issue, and they still turned out okay. That's because they Prepared for it, unlike Bryke in LoK. They did something they were not prepared to make and they are to blame for that, and not the people that gave them the opportunity.

I never watched Kora. What made it so bad?

>>89347129
Main hero fights for status quo and all the interesting villains are self-contained in their seasons, even if they shouldn't. A lot of them should have huge effects on the world, but the whole reality just forgets them as soon as the seasons change. Your suspension of belief will be shattered the longer you watch the show. They nailed everything else, but the writing is just awful. Maybe it's corporate meddling, maybe not. Whatever it is, it doesn't work.

The Flash, CW. It wasn't a great show by any means but Tom Cavanagh was an inspired Thawne and perfectly brought across what a terrifying figure he's supposed to be. Then as it was building up to something great it just ended up with nothing.

Plenty of non-biased sites gave it good reviews, not just tumblr-tier sites. Keyword here being good. 7 or 8/10 is still good.

>About merchandise, i doubt it sells that well considering the time it took for them to come out, and the narrow audience.
DVDs sold pretty well I believe.

I didn't even like the show that much and thought it was a pretty big disappointment compared to ATLA, but the hateboner for it is ridiculous.

I never held any hope for LoK in the first place. The original was so good and the ending wrapped everything so perfectly that there was no way a sequel could be on par and not shit all over the continuity.

Homestuck might still be up there for me. Considering that it actually had me 100% until the retcon shitstorm. I don't think that I've ever seen anything drop the ball quite that hard in my fucking life. There were thousands of ways he could have built up to the ending without rendering everything totally fucking pointless and proceeding to derail every character and plot-thread at speeds that would make both Qicksilver and The Flash shit their pants.

Honestly, though I'm going to go with Crossed. I went in expecting a manic, hyper-fucked catharsis ride and only ended up with a boring "shock-fest" that often dived into the pretentious deep end. Good god, it's like if Jack Ketchem wrote The Walking Dead.

>>89351396

Ehh diversity is okay but not when it's forced.

The two characters had the entire series of being straight with no indication of interest in each other. If there had been some times where they were alone together to kinda lead them up to realizing they were supposed to be together it would've made some sense, but then you still have two hot teenage girls who turn out to be lesbians which is pretty much just screaming 'make porn of this' not 'we have a stable and understanding relationship.'

People just don't buy the girl on girl thing as being diversity anymore. Diversity is showing a character in a non-monogamous relationship, a non-fixed gender person, anything that's really outside the grounds of what people generally accept and not throwing it in people's faces to force them to accept it. Multi-racial relationships aren't even that diverse because they're so frequently abused by writers trying desperately to add diversity.

Perhaps Su and Lin but the former is Ayn Rand and the latter is jilted mommy issues. I suppose that is compelling to some but as the other poster said the likes of Katara and Azula had great character going for them.

That new Xiaolin Showdown series that aired a few years back. Everything seemed off animation wise and Jack not having his VA killed it for me

For a long time, "Dexter's Rude Removal" was considered something of a Holy Grail of lost media. Pretty much every Dexter's Lab fan knew the rumor that a profanity-laced episode of the show existed, but was not allowed to air due to extremely inappropriate content. The rumor itself wasn't particularly unusual- inapprorpiate "official" material being created and circulated internally has been something of an animation industry tradition as long as animation has been a thing. The thing that seemed to really grab people about "Rude Removal" were all the tantalizing hints that such an episode really did exist, and was still out there, if only someone would step forward.

Only a handful of people could claim to have any real solid, verifiable information about it. Some would claim to have seen it at various conventions in the late 90's/early 2000's, offering wildly varying accounts of the short's alleged content. The "break in the case" as it were came when Genndy Tartakovsky himself acknowledged the existence of the short, and began to answer questions regarding it when they came up.

Interest in the short surged after Tartakovsky implied he had access to the completed short during a Reddit AMA in late 2012, resulting a brief but intense Twitter campaign to get Adult Swim to air the short.

It worked. On January 22nd, 2013, "Dexter's Rude Removal" was uploaded to the Adult Swim website and YouTube account. The Holy Grail of lost media had been found.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1zRJkkMjjo

To the disappointment of many who campaigned for the episode's release, it wasn't nearly as raunchy as previous accounts had implied. Certainly not something that could have aired on Cartoon Network in 1997, but hardly the x-rated banned episode many had been expecting.

I guess it was a case of rumors and hype getting out of control. Or maybe it was just a case of people thinking they wanted something, only to realize they enjoyed the idea of it more than the thing itself.

These are literally the same thing; Frederator signed one of the better Korean studios then lowballed the fuck out of what they were willing to pay them which resulted in the studio sending back the marshmallow redesigns and saying "this is what you'll get, then"

>Then there were the episodes themselves
Nat's a character designer with a few years under her belt. She's not RS who had been practicing storyboarding and writing for a decade. It was far too early to make her a showrunner of anything, much less in this shark tank. Its fanbase consisted of people who either thought Nat shat rainbows or tumblrfaggots needing to self-insert into the side characters. Neither could sustain the show.

>>89358300
mainly, Frederator takes the blame here for thinking any AT alum was a guaranteed moneymaker and inflating Nat's hopes instead of making her indicate in clear terms where the show concept was going and who the intended market was, at which point they would either have put someone experienced in charge of executing the idea, or shitcanned it.

That fucking theory is on par with "MC is in a coma" theories. Fuck you and fuck everybody who picked the same major as you.

>>89359954
Season one of Korra was good. I wish amon hadn't been just some ultrapowerful bender and actually been against bending entirely, and still been able to take bending away, but eh, the universe was new and the characters werent Flanderized yet. By s2 Bolin was a total oaf. Only good thing to come out of the show were the eps of avatar juan, which was super cool lore and art shift.

Plus it had the guy who voiced Chester, gear, and max from the goofy movie.

>>89340562
Nothing is more disappointing than how the network treated Korra, but CN treating Regular Show, Transformers, and pretty much all of their good shows like crap just to keep their biggest shit on life support is a close second. They even completely got rid of pokemon and only play Samurai Jack and Toonami one night a week. It's like they aren't even trying.

And who wrote the Legend of Korra? Who wrote Book 1? Who wrote the Book's 2 and 4 finales?

I guess since you weren't following any of the other action shows you wouldn't know, but most of them went for at least a second season. But you would have done yourself a favor to not comment when you had no idea what you're talking about.

Nice job keeping yourself delusional and acting like the number of episodes is shitty thing they did.
Korra is far from the only action show that got the shit treatment of losing timeslots, not being aired regularly, being given bad advertising, etc., it is representative of how all the networks were and still are treating their non-goofyshit shows, but Korra definitely got it the worst.

"anon's turtles gives us the bending"
Jesus Christ, is this you attempting to be coherent or you know you're wrong so you're not even trying?
"The finale of Airbender, the last episode, is credited solely to Bryan Konietzko and Michael DiMartino"
Even if that was true, and that is already giving you a retarded amount of leeway, the Lion Turtle isn't in the last episode. It's not in the episode before the last episode either.

And that's just counting the episode where he actually shows up in person. They were foreshadowed and shown in the architecture throughout the series from the first season.

Even if I wanted to play along with your autistic imagination, what are you even trying to argue by crediting the people you hold responsible for the nearly-universally loved finale of Last Airbender for the parts of Korra that even the anti-Korra memers admit were good?

In your failed attempts to discredit Korra you just proved to us all that you don't know anything about either Avatar.

Agreed. I never believed Reed would win and for that matter him turning evil was pretty out of character too.

But in this story Reed was a cold calculating mastermind that had done very well for himself.

I was actually excited to see how he would be defeated. And then they pulled asspull after asspull, while Reed suddenly went full Snidely Whiplash and was unable to figure out that the blonde woman with a helmet was Sue Storm. And he instantly became a whimpering wreck once he saw her.

Sure they insisted that changing writers when there was just two issues left changed nothing, but the change was so massive and abrupt that it is not believable.

It was Hopeless that wrote the two last issues, was it not? His name sure fits his output.

>>89347129

Korra was a massive fuckup. And the story went out of its way to either reward her for fucking up or let her off with a muttered "my bad".

Also the lesbian/bi/whatever part, it came so late and with so little buildup that it came off as a desperate ratings grab.

>>89357867
Same story with the animated short called "Cracks," a top-tier backstory to a meh-tier short.

I was less disappointed by Legend of Korra after watching it a second time desu, I guess I kinda just expected too much of it the first time around. Also, I hadn't watched TLA in a while the first time so nostalgia may have amped up my expectations.

>>89340886

To be fair, Iceman being gay is not exactly a stretch. And it fits with the whole motif of 'not wanting to be persecuted by two groups, just one'.

>>89347129

Korra is pretty much the anti-aang. Someone who is quick to jump into fights, but isn't actually very good at them due to the fact she never mastered airbending.

Also, character development was terrible. I'm fine with lesbian couples, but you know what pre-empted that supposed affection? A single letter written by korra, explaining how she's sick of being crippled, and she only sends it to Asami because she trusts her the most.

That being said, the most disappointing thing about it was that there were moments of brilliance that exceeded the original series... and then it would jump back into mediocreness. Avatar Wan, the red lotus, the trainline army (at least hint at a giant mecha), the spirits forcing humanity to flee...

The Watchmen movie was just bland and boring.

>>89370155
>and then it would jump back into mediocreness. Avatar Wan, the red lotus, the trainline army (at least hint at a giant mecha), the spirits forcing humanity to flee...

Those are your examples of mediocreness, right?
Because what came about from the Wan episodes leads into the "expansion" of the lore and leads to the rest of season 2. The Red Lotus were stupid, but the fight scenes were finally something above mediocre. And spirits forcing humanity to flee isn't a moment of brilliance.

In terms of shows Eureka 7: Astral Ocean was Korra all over again.

What a devastatingly poor sequel to the original. Hell, it couldn't even be considered a sequel to it if you took out like 3 eps from it.

It least like Korra it had a delicious brown girl. Elena was also clearly best girl since the other choices were either 100% boring and plain or missing 90% of the series.

Also I want the writer of AO to die.

Anyway the original Eureka 7 was a completely amazing series that was both a physical and emotional adventure.
