>>91144361
Didn't Korra fuck up the entire Avatar line for everybody by losing connections to her past lives?

>>91144365
Yes.

>>91144365
Korra was a mistake

>>91144367

>>91144361
I wouldn't even bother considering it won't reach the quality of the first series again

>>91144365
Korra Sue ruined the chances of there ever being another series.

>>91144361
Tried to get my niece to watch this the other week. She thought it was boring and went back to playing on her iphone.

>>91144372
Maybe she didn't like the color.

>>91144365
We could have an Avatar series of previous Avatar like Wan, Roku or Kyoshi.

We could even have a sequel to the original series which shows the aftermath after they defeat the Firelord, when Zuko searches his mother and when Azula somehow redeems herself and joins the "Gaang"

After Korasue and progressive propaganda? I'll pass. The original wasn't even that great.

>>91144374
Nope, feminist bullshit and dyke ending.

>>91144371
>Korra Sue
I think Korra is exactly the opposite of a Mary Sue and that's why she sucked so much.
-Weak
-Indecisive and dubitative
-Crybaby
-Hotheaded

I mean it's ok for a main character to have some faults, but having too much was a mistake, not to mention the fucking lesbian asspull.

>>91144361
I will never understand the fascination with this shit-tier garbage cartoon. people harp on M Night for "ruining" it, but it was fucking trash from the start.

>>91144361
After Korra probably not.

You could always read those godawful comics.

I would be in on a Kyoshi or some random medieval-era avatar's career.

Anyone ever find it weird how the kyoshi warrior bitch tags along for the ending?

She was only in the series for like 3 episodes, and then in the latter half of the last season she just sort of wanders around not doing much, and then she's given a bunch of gravitas in the finale.

noticed it on a rewatch.

I actually had a dream for a new series of Avatar.
Sadly, Samurai Jack took it.
Imagine a drunken unlinked Avatar driving around the world on a motorcycle trying to find purpose.
Also imagined he'd look kinda like the Soka "Actor" in the Play episode of Avatar The Last Airbender.

>>91144394
Tenzin was the only reason I stuck with it. I nearly walked out of the room when that butterfly(?) kid deus ex machina'd the fuck out of the primordial god of all darkness or whatever the fuck.

I'd say it's time for a rewatch as my memory of the whole thing is a bit blurry but good luck getting me to sit through all that shit again.

>>91144396
Tenzin and his family were fantastic

>>91144361
I sure hope not. Let's hope they've learned their lesson when they tried to shoehorn faggot shit into entertainment for children and got BTFO as a result

>>91144397
With the exception of jinora becoming spiritual prodigy the airbending stuff was fine her relationship with the other airbender was pure fan service and the whole being able to spiritually locate anyone was bullshit compare how they found appa in atla in comparison to prisoners in korra

Yes.
Sure shipfags made a big deal of the lesbo ending, but book two of Korra did much more to fuck up the whole franchise.

This is some fucking bullshit

what, it died that quick? guess if this was steven universe it would've continue

>>91144362
This. No more. I was okay with ATLA ending. I didn't need Korea or the comics. Let it end.

How did azuula redeem herself or zuko find his mom?

>>91144365
No, there will still be more Avatars, the next Avatar will only have Korra as their mentor though.

>>91144746
Korra would've been a nice setting IF it was centuries after ATLA and not withing a century, would've been nice to see how everyone lost or stops using bending due to how dangerous it was or no longer practiced making the Avatar this time rediscover the elements because of some threat or something

>>91144361
Nope. Bryke are working on their own seperate creations. And, if they were to return to animation, I sure as Hell want them to create an entirely original series.

Already covered in the comics.

>>91144381
Third season sucked too, as did parts of the 2nd.
(OTOH first season finale was quite good.)

>>91144385
That was due to fans loving her character, so they wrote her back in.

>>91144385
>>91145993
Her part with Appa in Book 2 is extremely important though, so I give it a pass. What I don't give a pass is her near-total lack of personality.

>>91144846
That poor avatar.

>>91145048
>>bending have turned into a myth

>protagonist discover a verboten evil lurking in the shadows and everyone else don't believe her
Jesus Christ how cliche can you get

>>91144365
Yes, and the next avatar will only have Korra, the avatar who always makes the wrong decision, as there mentor and guide.

The earth avatar is fucked

>>91146417
you do know people can make decisions of their own power, right.

Aang spend the entire finale actively defying what every other Avatar had told him.

>>91146548
yeah because Korra have done this with Aang's son, from square 1 she do what she wants, and now she is all by herself.
The earth avatar is gonna be fucked, but who cares, all he/she needs is to call Rava

>>91144361
Hopefully not. Avatar has been trash since Season 3.

>>91146548
Both Aang and Korra have had to ask advice from there previous lives (Aang asked Roku, Korra talked with both Aang and another Air bending avatar).

Korra, while good at fighting, isn't very good at thinking things through or planning. It's likely, when the time comes, she'll give them advice that ends up backfiring.

>>91146730

who?

There was literally like 6 lightningbenders shown in the entire series

People greatly exaggerate how widespread they are.

>>91147939
You're watching the worst season. It gets better from the midpoint of the season on, and then crashes and burns for the finale.

Book 3 is ATLA quality (doesn't reach the highs of ATLA, but it's comparable to Water and Fire in quality).

Book 4 is close to Air in terms of quality, so if you could stomach that, you can stomach Book 4.

They would have to go the Dragon Ball Super route and completely deny that Korra ever happened and start off with a better storyline continuation from where Atla left off.


>>91145917
They retcon'd the avatar state, its just a power boost from Raava and some harmonic convergence portal energy.

>>91144374
Wan was a psychopath and a terrible unlikeable person in almost every aspect.

But a Kyoshi avatar series would be badass.

>>91147939

>>91148400

>>91144361
No, and that's good.
Avatar was mediocre at the best of times and spawned an insufferable fanbase, as they so often do.
Korra was even worse, though most of its fans seem to be waifufags.

>>91148647
>Avatar
>mediocre
So what cartoons do you NOT consider mediocre, oh wise anon?

>>91144361
Alright, /co/. You have to write the next Avatar series. Must be a sequel to Korra.

How do you pull it off?

>>91148707
I resign in protest.
Which is what Ehasz should have done during ATLA if the rumors about Bryke are true, BTW.

>>91148707
the only thing the retards are going to say is that she fucked up somehow and start a apocalypses

>>91144361
Nah, Korra was such a huge fuck-up that it's unlikely that we'll ever get another Avatar series ever again.

And after watching Korra, why would anyone even want another one?

>>91148448
Both Korra and Wan were able to use the avatar state despite having no past lives to draw on.

Even if in the 1 year span of time between Wan splitting Raava and Vaatu that he somehow learned and trained constantly with Badgermoles, Air Bison, Dragons, and watched Tui/La, he still was able to somehow produce the same power that Aang got from calling on all of his previous lives.

Korra also did the same in all her fights after harmonic convergence, outputting the same amount of god tier powerful and skilled bending despite having nobody to call upon or reference.

Ergo, we are shown with Wan, that the avatar state is literally just Raava completely fused with him and some extra bullshit energy they absorbed from harmonic convergence.

>>91148674
There's no need to get defensive, it's just an opinion.

>>91148627
everytime he went into the avatar state was a power boost of you are talking about that iner shit they got rid if in in the original because he didnt need to let katara go even for aang it was a power boost

>>91148799
Not him, but you stated it as a fact, not as your opinion otherwise it would read like "I felt that Avatar was mediocre at the best of times".

I do enjoy how you didn't give your opinions on what's better, though.

you retards take your head canon way to far

>>91148306

Except that those lightning benders are seen a menial workers powering a factory. If lightning bending was not retconned to be "errbody gets it" Mako could just go be a fire nation prodigy and make loads o dosh.

>>91148799
It's a serious question. Answer it.
>>91148818
Mind rewriting this in English?

>>91148841
Saying something is mediocre is a completely subjective statement. There is no need to say
"in my opinion" in this case.
Which cartoons I consider good are not relevant, as this is a discussion about Avatar.

>>91144361
No. Korra fucked up the past, present and future of the Avatarverse, angered the fans and convinced the producers that the Avatar franchise was dead.

>>91148934
This is a discussion on /co/, where your opinion of other cartoons is VERY relevant. Now, I'll ask you again: which cartoons do you consider better?
If you don't respond I'll consider you a troll.

Consider me a troll then, but my opinion on cartoons is not relevant to the discussion at all. I said what I felt about Avatar and that was the end of that. Replying to my posts is pointless, as it has nothing to do with what OP asked.
I do find it amusing that I wasn't asked to defend my position on Korra. I guess as long as a cartoon is generally considered 'bad' it's okay to talk smack about it without having to say why you think so.

Katara wasn't a particularly great character in this sense either, though. (Sorry, Ehasz fans.)

Making everyone living in the air turtle have tattoos ruined the purpose of why the air nomads had the tattoos which was only given to those who master the air element.

Azula is currently in the process of redeeming herself. In my opinion that should be a focused character arc rather than the side story with bullshit meaningless adventures as the main story.

>>91147939
Book 2 is the worst one, you could skip it

Show takes place in a futuristic era were bending is no longer practiced, the story is about this kid (probably a bookworm) who read stories about people in the past able to control the elements and how every once a while a person was born to control all of them. Being autistic, he tried to imitate moves and pretend to be the avatar until he discover his earthbending powers. Years later he starts to practice until he gets a good hold of it until some people find out about his bending and try to capture him. An organization who's purpose is kill the next avatar (and there been plenty after Korra and before this new MC they killed before) because they realize everytime a new avatar comes, it brings destruction to the world, now that they closed the spirit world, all they have left is to keep track of any newcoming avatar and have them disappeared. Kid (now a teenager) is saved by an underground group of bender who remained in secret for the purpose of helping the next avatar and help humanity to stay in touch with the planet and the elements once again. So now the goal of this new avatar is to maintain the new balance of people who forgot their roots of bending and people who arent benders to coexist in this era or something

Do you think this is a good sequel?

Both were fighting over Makko, he was more supportive to Korra than Asami was, the whole lesbian vibe happened in season 4th and was out of nowhere, a hair compliment is what girls often do but doesn't mean is a booty call. It felt awfully forced and disappointing because they could make a good couple but is not a very believable one based on their past experience

I watched season 3 and 4 with yuri goggles on, there was enough intimate moments between the two that I could play with the ship,
but at the end of the day even the finally was just teasing the ship at best.
so for someone who actively seeks out and enjoys queer pairings, for bryke to do the bare minimum and then go in public and say "it counts when I do it" that's just annoying. its like posting a photo of a bucket of milk next to a bucket of flour and saying 'doesn't this cake look delicious?'
no. there is no cake. you failed to actually make the cake. you don't get any credit for the cake that only exists in-potentia

>>91151898
I'm sorry that the facts disagree with you, anon.

>>91151898
Explain how i am wrong?

oh wait, you can't. From every point of view that is not completely delusional, Korra was a failure to the point Nick didn't bother with it.

>>91152188
You need to accept that not everyone loves the same things you do. There are legitimate reasons to dislike Korra, even if you didn't personally have a problem with them.

I wouldn't give a fuck if someone told me they hated ATLA, because I enjoyed it and that's all that matters.

I feel like if Korea had to fight Ozai she would have done pretty well and Aang would have been a lot better equipped to deal with everything Korea dealt with.

yea thats some mad

>>91152623
I'm not mad, because I lost all emotional investment in Korra a long time ago. I'm just saying you'll be a lot happier if you stopped letting other people affect your enjoyment of something.

Alright troll. >>91152466 was my first comment in this thread btw.

you literally just named 2 situations where exactly that happened, and roku even explicitly explained that that is what is avatar state is you fucking idiot

what are you talking about its still a power boost did you watch that video

>>91153366
Some people get energy out of hating stuff. It can be kind of fun honestly. I don't often bitch about Korra though, so you'll have to ask them.

I'm sure there are people who like it but there's no denying it didn't have the same impact and acclaim that ATLA had. Most people that I know personally didn't enjoy Korra all that much, especially in comparison to ATLA.

yea ok man what ever you say

>>91153632
It's anecdotal but still. It contradicts the narrative you're trying to push that it's unreasonable to dislike Korra, and the only people who dislike it are on /co/. Which is ironic because you're accusing people of trying to make it seem that no one likes it, when you're doing the exact opposite.

>>91149175

ATLA quality wasn't that good either. People remember the highs like Sozin's Comet but forget about all the bad and mediocre episodes of book 1 and 3.

>>91153505
I think his point is that Now it is less of a power boost, considering there are no past lives. It's literally thousands of years of experience gone. Hell.. it's the entire reason the avatar could bend so well even not knowing the elements.

>>91144361

No, its been [spoiler[korrapted[/spoiler].

>>91153366
1. no one is bitching
2. The majority of people don't like it. The thing is, normally people don't like it and move on. That's what millions of viewers did from the first goddamn season; they just don't discuss it because it's shit. Here, considering how much people liked ATLA, we discuss it more.

>>91155591
Korra simply retconned everything that ATLA established and left it how it is. Korra decided to go further and give more explanation when it wasn't needed (kinda like Star Wars Ep 1-3)

>>91155675
It's not really a retcon if it doesn't contradicts what was said before. Honestly, Korra's avatar state IS weaker. If anything, it makes sense that way. The issue is how in the show it wasn't treated as a bad thing to lose the past lives. No ones throws shit at her for that.. hell, Tenzin fucking says it's a GOOD thing they're gone.

>>91155751
>if it doesn't contradicts what was said before
>Avatar state is no longer about getting the knowledge of previous avatars
>turtlelions gave away the bending instead of being of people learn it from badgermoles, the moon, dragons and air bisons

>Tenzin fucking says it's a GOOD thing they're gone.
Because the entire show Tenzin is treated as a grandpa who needs to get on with the times
>air bending is not brutal
>oh that sports helps korra to understand air movements
>new airbenders refuse to follow traditions and refuse to move to where nomads reside

Srsly, at this point Tenzin just gives up and let Korra keeps fucking up the avatar timeline

>>91155962

Don't know where to go from here

>>91156550
>could of

>>91156333
did you even watch the first season? They say they studied the moon and how it moved the sea so they imitate the moon's movement, that's why one of Katara's first lesson about water to Aang was making waves

>>91156736
Yeah, and Korra didn't retcon that.

People were given the ability to bend via lion turtles, but they didn't really know how to utilize their bending without studying the aforementioned animals.

Taking the folklore origin literally is dumb because it means anybody could be a waterbender by looking at the moon.

>>91157222
The legends explained how the very first benders learned to bend. It was implied that bending powers were handed down genetically from then on. The lion turtles are not technically a retcon, but it does make those mythical legends less significant, and effectively replaces them with a pretty lame origin story.

There is plenty of retconning in LoK season 2 though.

>>91144361
I felt this way for a while after I realized Korra was shit.

Just let Avatar die already, seriously guys.

>>91144846
>the next Avatar will only have Korra as their mentor though.

That fucking sucks.

>>91157222
but they didn't same way how there were air bisons, dragons and badgermoles, humans could just be waterbender but just a few populations decided to do it the same way others followed the other elements

>>91157341
Actually now that I think about it, the lion turtles are sort of a retcon. It confuses how bending became a genetic trait as opposed to something the lion turtles gave.

I hope not

>>91147038
Most people thought it was boring and Korra was a whiny bitch.

I've talked to a bunch of people around my age (there's a lot of 20-25 YO fans of Avatar) and I haven't heard one person say they liked Korra. It's not just
>lol /co/ hates everything amirite
The show is fundamentally flawed and most people can see it

>>91144406
>That technology advance in less than a century

To be fair, the 1920s/30s and the 1800s aren't that different from the universe of Avatar

>>91157512
considering Katara's age, it hasn't been close to 100 years, yet you telling me they made this much progress in less than 130 years?

>>91157410
I think the main problem was that the people involved had no idea how many episodes there were going to be, so everything felt kind of rushed and crammed together. The first season had 4 subplots (romance, anti-bending revolution, pro-bending, korra's airbending training) that probably would've been better fleshed out through multiple seasons instead of just one. Then when season 2 rolls around "uh, we have a second season? I guess we could throw a Dark Avatar in, or something?"

>>91157695
ATLA had tanks and it's been 70 years by the time of Korra.

We went from tanks to nukes to space travel in less time.

>>91157748
>they could've justify this that bender speed up the advance in technology
>it was actually because Mike likes steampunk
>somehow it seems less convincing having bending powers not used to that extend

>>91144365
Maybe if there was a new Avatar, it could be about him/her trying to fix that?

I dunno lol

>>91144372
Well most of the first season was pretty mediocre so your niece has pretty good taste.

>>91144362

We had factories in the 1800s.
The Fire Nation sorta had some 1800ish stuff but it was powered by magic, essentially. It was mostly 1600s era tech, even earlier if you want to get to some of the more mundane things.

If they actually just set it in the 1800s straight up that would be fine and dandy, mundane aspects catching up and all.
But literal cars and capacitors? Not even powered by fire bending? (Technically benders generate electricity yeah but there was no indication they had any understanding of electricity beyond it being a powerful technique)

Just straight wank. It doesn't make any sense.

>>91159308
I meant in TLA, they were never shown to use electricity except to fight.

Some of the more ridiculous things like the giant drill are, well, ridiculous, but they were also shown to be massively unique. We can hand wave it as the Fire Benders being able to do it because living blast furnaces, but how does that lead to the radio? The internal combustion engine? Skyscrapers?

>>91159308
>>91159343
IMO the real question is why these things developed so "late" in real-world history.

I guess nonbenders don't matter. Amon was right.

>>91144365
That's why the next Avatar, an earth bender, should work on restoring it and make the line grounded again.

well you see,, at least i can actually loik at a drswaing and not weird lines and shapes.
