Like, one of them is a single generation. Let's say a century.

>>92299884
Well E;R's reniggings video somewhat convinced me that Bryke were attempting to destroy the previous lore and carve their own. Start over as it were

>>92300328

If its anything like the progression of history in the real world from the very beginning of civilization to around the industrial revolution, it would be about 10,000 to 12,000 years of history.

>>92300344
Yeah, but civilization as we know it much less

>>92300348
Unalaq killed them though

>>92300413
Only due to Korra failing to several levels

Considering the first series, was there any way Korra wouldn't be disappointing in some regard? I mean Avatar was good and all, but considering how many people hailed it as THE adventure show of our time, there's no way it could live up to the hype.

Also it felt like everything they wanted to explore was nixed or hobbled by the fact that it was airing on Nick.

>>92299884
Because Unalaq is an evil crazy bastard who fundamentally disagreed with the Avatar's approach to spirits. Basically, because fuck 'em.

>>92299884
To try and force people to like Korra. Basically the Marvel mindset.

>>92300328
Avatar Wan (the first one) was 10,000 years before Korra, and according to Roku there have been at least 1,000 Avatars
The average lifespan of an Avatar is 10 years

WATCHOUT

>>92300721
Sure.

Focus on the world that captivated everyone instead of a single city, focus on the characters chemistry that made everyone fall in love with the Gaang so hard, develop everyone's unique personality and give them all an arc that takes time to fulfill, lots of things.

Plotholes? We'll forgive them. Asspulls? Happen on occasion. Crude humor like fart jokes? Didn't need them but the fans will let them slide every now and again. But the story had to be compelling. Fail to make the chemistry interesting, the world extraordinary, the journey a boring ride on the other hand?

You can only look over so much, when you have less heart, less interesting characters, less love all around(Despite the irony of so much romance early on), and what do you get?

A shitty sequel.

>>92300960

>>92301084
Your entire post is basically "wahhh why isn't TLOK exactly like ATLA"

>>92299884

No ghost cheat codes that Aang had to use

>>92299884
To show beyond a shadow of a doubt that Korra is a Fucking idiot, and the worst Avatar to exist.

>>92301166
Avatar state still worked

>>92299884
Aang was such an awesome character and people were so much more interested in what happened to the gaang instead of interested in Korra that the writers felt like they needed to sever the lines so that Korra couldn't go to Aang or the other avatars for help. She had to be her own strong, independant fuckup.

If they didn't then they would have been hounded by "Why didn't Korra just go avatar mode and have Aang fight for her?!?!" tweets and threads.

>>92300202

>>92300721

I know hindsight is 20/20 but

Overarching plot across multiple seasons. Yeah yeah, the first season was a one shot thing. Maybe they should've negotiated for that a bit harder, it was the sequel to a hit series and all. You could cut out any two given season villains and polish those left into something much better.

Most of the failures of Korra were from things not getting enough polish, or being rushed and falling flat stupidly. S1 starts strong villain-wise but crashes into a dumpster, S2 is S2, S3 is praised for guys who are actually pretty one-dimensional(they're cool, sure, but with the seasonal limit we can't expand on them at all.) S4's conflict begins entirely off-stage and was a little too important for that and makes more of the participants in it look stupid.

Could've lived up to and beaten the hype if it wasn't for all the plot holes and shit. ATLA told a simple story and told it well. Korra tried to tell about 3-4 stories that all ended with wet farts.

>>92301154

"why didn't we get another strong simple story driven by character interaction instead of a plot hole filled set of idiot plots" is a pretty good question

ironically enough korra would have worked as a 6 episode short, it was planned as a pilot season with an open end in case they got a contract for three more seasons tho

>>92301751

The entirety of the reveal of S1 hinges on a plot hole. The plot is ultimately dim-witted nonsense. S2 is the all-star of plot holes and idiots doing stupid things. S3 seems better but is ultimately driven by the heroes being morons. The villains are generally competent but flat. S3 also exists almost entirely via raw coincidence, which might've been excusable with a better track record. S4 in it's entirety is the result of a morally gray idiot plot fiesta.

Its been a long time can someone tell me how Avatar state worked without the past avatars? Was it her channeling JUST Raava's power? I mean AS can't be a power multiplier based number of past avatars cause that would be crazy but Korra's AS would be way weaker without the past avatars right?

>>92301860
>The entirety of the reveal of S1 hinges on a plot hole.
Do you even know what a plot hole is? Because there are none in either show.

>The plot is ultimately dim-witted nonsense. S2 is the all-star of plot holes and idiots doing stupid things.
Book 2 doesn't have plot holes and the only character doing stupid things in B2 is Korra but that's not even most of the time

> S3 seems better but is ultimately driven by the heroes being morons.
It isn't driven by that at all though

> The villains are generally competent but flat.
I don't think you know what flat means

>S3 also exists almost entirely via raw coincidence, which might've been excusable with a better track record.
I'm curious as to what you think isn't excusable.

>S4 in it's entirety is the result of a morally gray idiot plot fiesta.
Nothing wrong with that

>>92300960
This has horrific implications, there must have been mass genocides of the avatars for thousands of years, every one they find gets slaughtered as children.

They didn't think about their original series at all.

Sprinkle all four seasons with red lotus ideals, stuff about man seizing his own destiny from spirits or something, etc. Cut the really obvious blunders(no limit bloodbending, rewrite most of S2, characterize Zaheer and the boys from S1.) It's sad how much a pacing rewrite might've saved the show.

fug I still remember when Mad Stan looked to Boom Boom Explodey Girl and said LIKE THAT TIME WE SAVED YOU FROM THAT GUY and they just dropped it there, no sweet flashback or story or nothin'. We're the Anarchiest!!!! That's our motivation!!!!!

A) they stopped caring, it's all Raava and B) Korra always jobbed until such time as she had to finish the season with a win anyway

I'm just gonna keep on pretending Korra ended after season 1 then. That's fucking awful.

>>92302672
No, no he doesn't. Tenzin never knows what he's talking about until season 4 and even then he's ineffectual.
If she listened to Tenzin at the start, Amon would have used his abilities and removed Tenzin and Tenzin's kids' airbending. And that's just at the beginning. Tenzin was wrong every step of the way.

>>92302757
None of these are plot holes, just wanted to preface with that.

>Why does Aang need to meditate to reach the spirit realm when he was sitting next to a portal?
He was never sitting next to a portal, the Northern Water Tribe is not at the North pole. Also, the portal was closed and not too many people remembered they existed or cared for the matter.

> How come Vaatu grows stronger without Raava while Raava grows weaker?
Because he feeds off of chaos and negative emotions, which are much each easier to find than calm and positive ones. Plus we're told that Raava normally keeps him under control which means that he(as a cosmic form of chaos) runs rampant without some type of think to limit him

> How come the lion turtles each had knowledge of one element?
Because that's apparently how they work based on what we see. Not a plot hole.

>>92302877
>Wait...so they're all deader than dead?
No, Korra's connection to them/their memories is just (seemingly) permanently severed.

>Like, their spirits are dead?
The avatars are all the same spirit, so no. The previous avatar's memories are just (seemingly) permanently inaccessible

>Aang and Roku don't get happy afterlives?
They never would have, because the Avatar reincarnates.

>>92302396
>The clothes from Wan's time is more or less the same as the clothes from Aang's time.
Not really. They're kinda similar but not completely

>It's only until Korra that people actually start dressing differently.
The vision of Aang in his 40s actually is when, and before that

>92302398
>Doesn't look like it by looking at the previous avatars' attires.
You can't judge the vast majority of the after a certain point because they're not given full on designs and there was reuse of a few because of animation ease

No, she lived to 230.

>>92302396
>See I thought the same but how did he steal the face of the the old water avatar's wife? He also steal some other dude's face in the comics,
Maybe at certain times of the year he can try to steal people's faces? Like the solstice when the two worlds are closer together?

>>92303328
Well yeah, they aren't going to exact copies all of them, we are talking about different people who lived a different amount of time with different professions and who lived in different parts of the world, but there isn't any significant change in attire between them, like a Spanish landlord from the XV century a WWI American soldier and an Egyptian farmer from B.C.
That or the avatars have all had terrible fashion sense and choose only the most generic attire possible every time

>>92300960
>>92302123
Human history has been around for like 10-12 000 years mate. That includes the Ancient Egyptians who were around 7000 years ago.

There have been over a thousand generations of humans growing up in this world.

>>92303942
>There have been over a thousand generations of humans growing up in this world.
That's because we count generations are 10-30 years gaps, here we are talking about a person that has to die and immediately after another is born and the next one can't be born until the previous one dies and if we take the precedent that some of them have lived well over a hundred years then you get that supposing all of them lived similar lives there is only space for at best 200 avatars in human history.

>>92303238
I'm fairly certain they made a big deal about the Avatar Cycle Ending.

If the Avatars all share one spirit (which reincarnates) and they remain in that state, then it can be safely assumed one of two things happened.

The avatars are released from the cycle and are sent to bumfuck where-ever all human spirits go once they die (I'd imagine that would be awkward in the spirit world, as they all share a spirit that Aang hanging out with a dead Katara would be awkward as shit as Avatar X hanging out with her husband. Polygamy~~), or they're straight up snuffed from existence as they depended on the Avatar Cycle to exist.

>>92299884

>BS DeM (took me a bit to realize you meant Deus Ex Machina)

How exactly was it a Deus Ex? Avatar State Powerful but uncontrollable. Real stakes that if you die then you fucked up and permakilled yourself, and establishes the reincarnation.

That's like saying Adam and Tonics were Deus Ex Machinas in Bioshock. The whole story is built largely around them and they are essential. This opposes the definition of the Deus Ex, which is a spontaneous event/incident that resolves the current issue introduced into the story suddenly.

>>92302111
I get the feeling you're trolling

>>92307905
The cycle was broken but repaired, though the repair didn't reconnect a Korra to the memories of the past Avatars >>92307905

Its actually Option C: The past Avatars are simply their memories and personalities made accessible wland/or stored by Raava, and when she was destroyed that connection was severed and was not regained when Raava was reborn.

It can't be your other two options because the past Avatars are not really separate spirits or anything, they're just past lives of the same spirit who can communicate with the current life due to the connection Raava gives

Also, there's not evidence that an afterlife exists, though spiritually enlightened people like Iroh and the Painted Lady can choose to ascend to the spirit world and become a spirit.

Raava tells Wan she'll be with him for all of his lifetimes so it seems like people just reincarnate in this world with no memory of who they were before(except for the special connection Raava gives

>>92307983

>>92308004
Zuko's dad's issue was, in fact, a Deus Ex Machina. A magic turtlelion from out of fucking nowhere saying "Oh btw here's this technique we haven't even hinted at throughout the series to magically solve your problem."

The Avatar State has been around from the beginning, and the using of it isn't a Deus Ex. It's a plot device. A shitty plot device? I don't think so but that's opinion, but it is factually NOT a Deus Ex.

>>92307996

It's possible they may have died for other reasons rather than deliberately aiming for the Avatar.

For instance, they could have been stillborn, contracted an infection, gotten killed in war before anyone realized they were a bender... And of course accidents, jealousy by people they know, dying in battle, famine...

>>92299884
To give korra an identity that wasn't defined by being the avatar. It didn't work.

>>92308084

It really does though.

>If you genuinely disagree with this, I'd like to understand you're reasons why. I'm struggling to comprehend how someone could view both of them as being on the same level.
Maybe because I'm a rational fan who just enjoys the content without needing to focus on all of the faults? I'm just happy to enjoy content from the franchise dude, I'm not about to obsess over what characters should have been developed more or what deus ex machinas could have been removed or whatever.

>>92308226
What does "rational fan" even mean dude?

Look, I don't think Korra is terrible; it doesn't. And despite it's many faults, it's still fun to watch and the world and settings can be breathtaking sometimes.

But as a story, as a myth, as something that will positively impact the mind of the audience, it has nothing to compare it to TLA. It's simply full of too much ambiguity and lackluster resolutions for it to have the emotive impact that Aang's story did. It's ultimate message is murky, and there's this unfortunate feeling of unsatisfaction once you reach the end.

It's like comparing Lord of the Rings to Game of Thrones, in a way. Game of Thrones can be very entertaining and can even present some positive messages if you go in with the right mindset, but it'll never have the same philosophical and mythical impact of Lord of the Rings. Some stories are just more timeless and heartfelt, and Korra isn't really one of them.

>>92308343
Lord of the Rings was shit though. The Hobbit was far better. Not him.

There's no defending it. The entire thing was stupid and made no sense. Aang had been fucking struck in the back and practically killed when in Avatar State, why didn't THAT destroy the line? Saying "because Vaatu" is fucking stupid because nothing about the attack indicated that Unaatu was striking at the Avatar line.

A much better idea would have been to have him rip out Raava and absorb her into his being to complete their cycle of evil overtaking good, leaving Korra to have to find a way to retrieve the very core of her Avatar connection as well as taking in the source of all evil, allowing the Avatar to become a truly balanced being instead of Kung Fu Jesus.

>>92308661
But he didn't bring them back, they never left. All he did was asspull a recovery for Korra's depression and sealed powers instead of having her go on a soul searching journey and find someone to unblock her chi, like the granddaughter of Ty Lee.

>>92308200
All the Avatars had their own distinct identities including Aang.

>>92308677
Yes, shit literally got real because they tore down a decent concept over a shitty character

>>92309281
This. It didn't even make sense that they could be disconnected like that. It made sense if the Avatar died in the Avatar State because it scatter the souls or whatever. Had that been and the case and season 3 was Korra finding them and restoring the line, that would have been pretty nifty. Could have been a great way for her shit ass to be whipped into shape as she convinced her past lives to rejoin her.

>>92309445
Fuck, I would have loved seeing that show.

>>92304069
only some of them lived that long. Keep in mind the first avatar died struggling to keep the humans from killing each other.

Who is to say that wasn't the case for other avatars who died particularly young? Wasn't the previous water bending avatar died young fighting koh?


Add in the fact that the fire nation, earth kingdom and water tribes were loosely fragmented in the past constantly fighting each other it makes sense multiple avatars died in various conflicts.

Look at the fire nation, who were united by the fire sages as a theocracy before being overthrown by the firelord.

Or the Earth Kingdom which constantly faced civil war. Guaranteed they were fragmented as hell before being united under an Earth King.

Hell I doubt the great divide between the northern and southern tribes were ever peaceful.

Not all avatars were as good as Yangchen, or Aang or Kyoshi.

We had a lot OF Roku's and Korra's struggling to do their best and messing up.

Doesn't ignore the fact that 10 000 years is a long long long time for us. Capable of creating a lot of avatars.

>92299884
To emphasize the fact that Korra is objectively the worst avatar of all time by breaking the avatar chain

Just finished this, and it was the most underwhelming thing I have ever fucking seen. Really fucking average, it's like (((Bryke))) didn't even care and wanted their jew gold

>>92299884
I'd imagine the intention was to seperate LoK from Atla for good (they didn't do that though) and to make Korras future achievements look "cooler" since she overcomes them without the avatars helps. They just failed miserably at making it feel that way, and ultimately it felt like it served no actual story purpose and instead like a giant fuck you to all the Atla fans.

>>92299884
to show that women can't do anything without ignoring the past and destroying it as well

>>92300960
While that is a funny joke, i think it's safe to say that 10k here refers to enternity or as long as history. In eastern mythology 10k things means the world and the things in it. Wan Shi Tong is the spirit of knowledge who knows 10k things meaning he is all knowing.

>>92310531
I think Kyoshi was pretty good, living the longest and not fucking up like Roku or Aang

>>92310910
Her biggest fuck-up was creating the Dai Li

It's really fucking weird how they went out of their way to tie in the first two seasons retroactively in the third with the Red Lotus, but really did fuck all with it and then once again dropped it by the final season.

>>92299884
"changing the status quo" probably, except it feels way more like a "fuck you" to the fans than an obstacle for Korra who had never previously relied much on their wisdom or was even very spiritual.

If she had always meditated and talked to them to get advice, it would have been a more fitting part of the story, as losing a mentor can be.

IIRC, he died in his 30s because they fucked up when they wanted to make Kyoshi old as balls.

Other than the love triangle shit, this is the only thing I really disliked about Korra.

That dreadlock-having avatar looks like he'd have committed a war-crime or two.

to kill a beloved series once and for all, they knew she was unlikable they knew she was some shit, so rather than admit their mistake and try again, they deleted the entire thing so they couldn't fuck it up again.

Its more of a mercy killing at this point anyway.

>>92314164
When that episode came out we called him "cake-bender."

>>92314129
The romance was the absolute worst fucking part of the show, with Korra herself being the second.

>>92299884
It was pretty much a hissy fit.
>"So you don't like Korra? Well fuck you, now she's the only avatar there'll ever be."

>>92314037
Same fucking thing you twat.

So what does destroying the avatars actually do?

>>92318085
They weren't destroyed. They're still Korra's past incarnations, she just can't talk to them anymore or use their power in the Avatar State. It was a way for them to make the Avatar State more manageable since Korra would've destroyed Kuvira and Zaheer if she were full powered.

>>92318085
The only person the next guy will be able to ask advice from is the witless bitch that is korra. Thousands of years of wisdom, knowledge, and experience down the drain.

>>92318139
We'll fuck, wait since avatars are just the same reincarnated person does that mean all the knowledge the was basically aang is gone forever

>>92310876
This is a pretty fair point, but is unfortunately muddied by Raava & Vaatu explicitly fighting every 10k years rather than "we fought 10k years ago", which could waved as "eternity ago"

>>92318215
yes.

>>92318128
No they're destroyed, they were linked to Raava and when her form was destroyed they were destroyed with it.

As for making it more manageable she should also have destroyed Unalaq with her full power avatar state, but she didn't so it doesn't even matter that she had past lives.

>>92299884
she lost the connection to them you fucking retards did any of you stupid fucks even watch the show

>>92300721
>Considering the first series, was there any way Korra wouldn't be disappointing in some regard?

Decent writers
Don't make the MC an unlikeable childish cunt that stays an aunlikeable childish cunt the ENTIRE series

that's about it honestly

>>92318239
Actually hadn't thought of that i guess you're right.
