Why does /co/ hate his backstory? Exactly what did he retcon

who cares, korra is fanfiction

1- they explained shit that didn't need to be explained

2- the story doesnt even make sense; people were literally living in turtles Because no one ever thought to ask the turtle If they could keep their powers. Wan was literally just the first Guy to ask.

3- in the end Wan was the worst avatar, considering how he fucked the planet. Korra second, kyoshi "not gonna help the earth nation" in third.

The Avatar's nature changed. Raava/Vaatu were some Yin/Yang deal, but the Avatar isn't even the balanced fusion. Instead it is only one half of the harmonious whole. And it loses the authority it had to step in when balance is threatened because "balance" becomes what Raava wants, rather than some external balance.

The spirit portals that no one ever knew about. How the oasis Aang was in during season 1 of ATLA was the most spiritual place at the North Pole according to Yue.
Also the spirits never needed any physical portals to move between the worlds before, but now the majority of them do.

Humans being able to walk to the spirit world physically goes against the whole spirit part of the spirit world.

Bending is mutant powers bereft of cultural/environmental context since it stems from where the lion turtle touched you a long time ago.

The Avatar's contact with their past lives is a function of the spirit grafted to them.

However, a lot of /co/ loves Wan because he is not Korra.

Who the hell hates his backstory? Those were the only two well-received episodes in the season.

It was a bunch of anime cliches, even by Avatar standards.

>Korra second
Nah. Wan brought order. Man wanted nothing to do with spirits and vice cersa. korra refucked the planet.
>tfw "thanks korra" threads after season 2.

Moon and ocean up and leaving, I wonder what would happen to their planet. And the Mother of Faces gives everything its distinct look apparently.

I didn't think it was bad, I actually kind of liked it.

Loking back though, I can't see what the point of it was. Sure it was cool and all, but it didn't advance the plot and hardly related to what was going on in the series. I may be wrong, it's been a while, but it feels like a random sidetrack to what was going on.

>Exactly what did he retcon from the original show?
Nothing except headcanons and fanfictions.

He also liberated Satan the first time.

he is clearly talking about animal spirits, and not the spirits that are just a part of nature (these spirits don't really want anything to do with humanity; they literally just exist and that's it).

I should also point out that it is unlikely that the mother of faces gives faces to Everyone, considering the birth rate. Most likely when she said that she gave people face she was talking about giving people NEW faces.

"Did somebody say "badly written lesbians"?"

>>92792450
Pretty much this.

I wouldn't mind the episodes if they were self contained, but as the other guy pointed out it changed a whole lot of things about the lore of Avatar, and fairly important things aswell.

I would. The writing was ridiculously childish.
