What would you change to make Korra a good show?

>>93033835
The setting, the plot and the characters.

>>93033835
Either advance the setting technologically with the aesthetic sense of tech presented in the original or not do at all. Adding western-like designs and inventions clashed with the character design and world building.

Make Korra earn her powers. She can start with them all, but she needs to refine and perfect them instead of being inconsistent with her power level as the plot demanded it.

Finally, either make her lesbian/bi from the start or make her revelation to same sex an actual character arc.


These are just the changes to the basic setting and the main protagonist, I'll spare you the rest.

>Give Amon the full 4 seasons
>Make the Equalist uprising global
>Have Korra lose control of Republic City because of her own immaturity forcing her to recognize it and improve
>Amon is not a bloodbender
>Stick to the established lore of the Avatar and Avatar state
>Amon takes her bending
>She has to learn to spiritbend, which means connecting to the Spirit world
>She has to learn to fight and function without her bending
>Other characters have to behave competently to help Korra given she doesn't have her full Avatar powers
>Korra is not a lesbian
>Korra is not interested in Mako or Bolin
>Shitty romantic subplot waste no more screentime
>Air bending cannot make you fly without a fucking glider
>You cannot bloodbend during the fucking day
>Firebenders are not redirecting lightning as some random fucking job
>Metal bending is more common than in TLA but not fucking everywhere

this thread again

Korra's massive breasts.
Make them even bigger.

I would have changed a lot, there is so many to list, but they should have gone with their first instinct and made Asami a villain. They could have redeemed her later if they wanted, but she was so useless and a blank slate for 4 seasons. Maybe turn her into a good rival for Korra the way Zuko was for Aang for a few seasons.

>>93034217

I've got no problem with romance, but if you're gonna do it, it needs to be built up and only pay off at the end of the story

Once they knew they were gonna get more seasons they should have rewrote the end immediately

>>93034987

Not a single character in this shit show was memorable or interesting on any level. There is nothing the writers could have done to salvage this garbage.

Kick Bryke off the team, get back the ATLA crew to make a good show.

Fuck off you kike-enabler. This show was ruined partly because of the pointless ambiguous sexual relationships.

as far as the first season is concerned, not cheap out the non-bender oppression angle at the end. Make Amon maybe someone who gained powers dealing with evil spirits to lead into season 2. Don't make all the problems okay because the masked man was actually a bender, that doesn't solve the problems. And leave Korra's bending blocked at the end, make it seem she now has to commit to the airbending teachings that she's struggled with in order to stay an effective avatar as an avenue for character growth, you can reverse that shit later when you have a moment in season 2 that feels earned and not ghost Aang solving all the problems

start season 2 off with the Wan story and make Korra more likable. Explore Republic city more so that it has a likable atmosphere instead of some steampunk set piece.

less drama shit in season 1

erase Kuvira

more mako as he was in seasons 2 and 3. transform him into a badass

Working with whatever nation they're in to stop equalist who have weapons to surpass metal gear.

Actually, just remove all the romance, not about the new avatar, the new avatar doesn't show up for more than a cameo, just have a bending tournament anime (not but pro bending because that was shit)

>>93036603
You mean how Korra is an indecisive cunt?

>>93036754
>implying shippers didn't want Katara to be an indecisive cunt

>>93036754
>indecisive
Korra wanted Mako. Mako was the indecisive one.

>>93037144
>Mako was the indecisive one
"Korra, don't kiss me. That was a mistake on your part. Fuck off".

Mako did nothing wrong. Asami was the one that got pissed for no reason and broke up with him.

>>93034217
This all the way

>>93037350
>"Korra, don't kiss me. That was a mistake on your part. Fuck off".
Mako leaves Asami behind once Korra makes it back from Tarrlok's Summer Home complete with rape cage. He willingly goes to Korra and sticks with her even in season 3 when he no longer has a reason to be around on multiple levels.

Also if someone kisses you and you kiss back and deepen kiss rather than move away or push the other person back, then that falls in line with how it takes two to tango.

The way to improve the show is to remove the romance by removing the brothers because by getting rid of the components of shipping it allows for the city to be explored beyond the stadium, Korra to stick with Tenzin, and removes the waste of time that was participating in probending.

>>93034217
>You cannot bloodbend during the fucking day
hay you fucking idiot only 2 guys had the power and they are both dead get the fuck over it

>>93037542
Three guys. And seeing as how the father of the two guys says his whole family line was capable of moonless daylight bloodbending, then it is more than two guys overall.

I will give you that they are all dead now though.

>>93037538
>Mako leaves Asami behind once Korra makes it back from Tarrlok's Summer Home complete with rape cage
Wrong. Asami was just a jealous bitch and broke up with him because of "the way he was looking at Korra".

There, i fixed it.

Re-arrange the seasons.
S1 stays mostly the same, but it's implied Amon was part of the Red Lotus
S3 happens directly after and stays mostly the same. Annoying additional characters never appear
S4 happens just so that Korra can get some character development, but no forced lesbo ending

S2 happens but it's completely revamped. Her uncle was leading the Red Lotus all this time and still wants to usurped the Avatar via the spirits. Korra is now experienced, competent and wisened up.

>>93036795
yeah but i cared about those characters

>>93039693
How?

>>93039693
How the fug did you make that connection Anon?

One: Remove robots/mecha/powersuits.
All of it. Gone. Remove that shit. Remove the little bots, remove the gigga robot.

Two: Before I even air the series establish relationships.
X hates Y. Y loves Z. Z is friends with Z.
X will learn to like Y. The end. If a character has too many shifts in relationships over the spawn of the show then it's a problem. It's especially a problem if it shoves a fucking major change in the last 10 seconds of the series. (Yes, the lesbo vacation magic portal scene).

Three: Establish your story more strongly. Yes, all the characters introduced that were villains were absolutely perfect, in theory, for her counter to show a changing technological modern world. Different governments and ideology. Expansion. Equality. Conversation. Spirit connection vs. Human Interests.
It did not help that they tried to do ALL OF THAT.

Four: Read the script before we begin production. Have other people read the script. If people are saying "this character's shit" that's a bad sign.

Five; Make sure you don't introduce shit concepts. I.E. Korra destroying all of the previous avatars and cutting off ties, yet still keeping her super bending avatar state/powers.

Six; Make sure your team is not influenced by social media screamers.

>>93033835
Slap everyone involved in the pitch and make sure the show didn't get made. 100% improvement.

>>93034217
fucking this

>>93035250
I'd imagine, if we had the luxury of planning out the four seasons ahead of time, we could introduce and use the many factions the series hinted at. Season 2, say, has the spirits start joining up with Amon, who has actual Spirit powers. The final boss could be some incredibly powerful spirit accidentally let loose. Not the literal God of Destruction, but something fairly powerful with an interesting backstory. You could find a way to pull in the Red Lotus members and use them in another season.

>>93033835
Not make?
But if I was contractually obligated, I suppose first thing first, remove female lead.
They're nothing but trouble, and a headache, and they attract SJWs and waifufags.

>>93034217

Also, the waterbender from the sport team from season 1 would have made a nice addition to the team, i would have liked to see more of him.

Korrasami is a shitty shoehorned in romance, and if the show had any value it lost it when that relationship came out of buttfuck nowhere because the writers wanted to score diversity points for their low ratings.

The problem with Korrasami isn't "forced romance", it's bad writing.

Everything in fiction is, by definition, "forced."

>>93042100
Korra is a lesbian tho

>>93042136
You're arguing semantics when you clearly understand what I meant, and what everyone means when they say forced.

>They literally make Korra lose her memory just to continue the romance plot because no realistic person would return to that unless they had legitimate brain damage

You having a fetish does not make the romance any more believable or less pointless to the story overall.

Make it unrelated to the Avatar universe, make a hentai, and just have Korra choking on all the cocks.

A staggering amount of her popularity is because she's massively attractive to loads of people, and since her personality is about as one-dimensional as the average hentai character, one may as well just embrace it and make it work.

>>93033835
Get rid of Mako, give all his important plot points to Bolin.

I dunno, it feels like it will always be forced.

>>93035355
Wan story was cool but ruined all the established lore from ATLA. I don't want to ruin that nice animation but the story didn't fit. Maybe if they adjusted it. Is it the idea that the avatar was only a thing for 1000 years and the turtles gave the powers, not the other animals, kinda ruins a lot of the nice established stuff.

>>93048195
It was 10,000 years and the animals didn't give anyone powers, benders learned to hone their abilities by WATCHING them. This was something that was even in ATLA when Zuko and Aang did the dragon dance. The waterbenders learned to "push and pull" by studying the moon's effects on the tide.

Seriously, animals and a floating space rock being "magical" and giving people powers is a dumb interpretation. There wouldn't have only been five airbenders by Korra's time if that's how it worked.

>>93033835
What exactly is the problem people here have with Korrasami? I would assume it just needed a episode or two to solidify the upcoming relationship. But no one here wanted it to happen at all.

>>93033835
Nolan from the PPP said that Korrasami should've been Asami hating Korra for what happened to her dad but her dad was kind of a jerk though so I don't agree.

>>93048477
It would take alot more than an episode to design a believable build up. And they didn't do that either, they just put it in there for progressive points at the detriment of the show.

>>93033835
>The setting, the plot and the characters.

You're not entirely wrong. The setting is abysmal and abjectly weakens the interest and coolness factor of all bending.

And Korra herself needs a serious overhaul but by the end of the first season is still not without redemption.

We'd extend the arc of the villain Amon to at least two seasons, possibly three. Forget about spirit bending and largely forget about the spirit world. Erase completely the Rava / Wan episodes. And kick the teeth in for the writer that erased all the prior avatars existence.

Just for starters. Also erase that hamfisted lesbian jump at the end. Not saying she couldn't become bisexual, but it was really horribly horribly handled and felt like bait and out of nowhere as far how its execution.

>>93033835
This show has a lot of serious problems, but the main source of all those problems is probably that it was mostly written by Bryke. LoK needed a good writing team, like AtLA had.

>>93033835
The problem with Korra is that in the original Avatar, the villains (Azula, Zuko, Ozai) were all people with motivation and reason behind their actions. They never dulled it out, and when Zuko changed sides you believed he would do it because he had a reason to. That took 3 seasons of him chasing the avatar, it wasn't some mid-season switch.

In Korra all the villains are killed off quick and are never brought to their full potential. For a show that should teach kids that brute force isn't the way to solve complicated political issues, the show sure loves using brute force to take down difficult political issues.

The fact that anti-bender sentiment seems to disappear after Season 1 is shocking to me, because it had a legitimate reason to exist, and was a very interesting take on the world of avatar. But no, Amon was a waterbender, woo, what a shocker. I guess everybody loves benders now because their leader was one, nobody seemed to give a fuck about the message.

How about season 2, instead of finding a clever way to resolve the conflict, our heroes L I T T E R A L L Y murder everybody in their way. RIP boom boom girl, I imagine she gave great head when she still had one.

Season 3 is the worst, because Kuvira did literally nothing wrong. Her motivation was just, her actions were pure, and everything 'wrong' about her is said about things you never see. Prison / extermination camps are described by a bunch of fleeing criminals who are running from the law. She has a nuke, oh no, not like America does either. What a waste of a perfectly good premise.

Asami's hatred of her dad is just another one of the shitty inexplicable relationships she had in the series that show how incompetent the writers were
>>93049017
It is odd, /co/ likes to talk about things they hate, so you'd expect a lot of Korra hate threads, instead there is a lot of ATLA love threads.
But ATLA is a really well-written series with likable characters, story, and amazing environments and world building. Though the premise is a bit xenophobic it doesn't detract from the story in any way, and it provided a good premise.

their entire character; the idea that Korra would ask someone out right after their father was just murdered goes against all the supposed development she had, not to say abandoning Republic City and the Earth nation when they most needed an avatar.

And how does he plan on doing that without bloodbending? Are you saying that he actually does learn to spirit bend?

The only off part is the last line since he can't be reborn since his soul was destroyed since that is what happens to those who are caught in that spirit technique he taught Korra. Vaatu can be reborn since he is an integral part of the structure of their universe and doesn't have a "soul."
Other than that the picture is correct and has been since it was made a long time ago.

>>93033835
Better writing

>>93060186
This sounds amazing, the sjws get riled up for a gay character than he ends up being straight.

The two biggests points to stress in making this show good are:
>Consistent characterization from the first few episodes
>Not abandoning plotlines
Bolin is the suave playboy type who doesn't take life as seriously as maybe he should. The ladies love him. He loves the ladies.He provides comedic relief but not to the point that he's a sad clown.
Mako is grumpy and aloof. He's uninterested in Bolin's antics or constant women he has over. He takes the sport seriously and is dedicated to what he does.
Asami is a bit of a mystery. She's the daughter of a wealthy industrialist. She likes to drive fast and is adventurous. Is she a bad guy? Who knows. Maybe she'll get a more endearing personality.
These three will be developed out of what we already know, instead of completely ignoring it after the writers get bored of what they set up.
Meanwhile the Equalist plot is NOT dropped. Even if the writers do not like any ideas they have about continuing the plotline for very long. It has to be resolved. No major plot thread should be suddenly abandoned and swept under the rug like it was nothing.

Raava said that they cannot be destroyed, if they do, they just pop out of their other part. Bryke already addressed that, he confirmed that in the future the avatar will be fucked in the butt by that.

The problem isn't that it is "forced".
The problem is, it was barely there to begin with, quasi non-existent and only in the last 10 seconds and a twitter made it a lesbian romance one.
If not for twitter, the scene would be ambiguous as fuck and anyone who wanted to ignore it would ignore it.

And this is what grinds my gear with modern cartoons. If you want more context, details and what not, you are basically required to have a twitter and tumblr account.

>>93060520
>Bryke already addressed that, he confirmed that in the future the avatar will be fucked in the butt by that.
Bryan said that maybe it might play a role in the future. Bryan also said that Mako and Korra are made for each other during the commentaries for season 1. Bryan also said that he liked Asami.
Unalaq is dead. Vaatu is not. Vaatu left the plot tree because the portals were opened. Now he's stuck inside of Raava who is inside of a human. And they've already got death lasers and can use them better than Satan.
Unalaq would be considered a past life for a future Vaatu. Since Unalaq died in a bonded forever Avatar State, he's gone just like how Wan, Aang, Kyoshi, Kuruk, Roku, Yangchen, and others are gone.

>>93060697
>>93060697
>avatar state
No.

Korra was using the exact same power, and she wasn't in the avatar state. Actually, Korra wasn't even the avatar at the time.

>>93033835
Characters.
There was barely any comradie between the main cast. The group dynamic was terrible. Avoid romances at all cost, that shit is cancerous and ruined Samurai Jack. If you have to, because you are bound by contract, let the characters already be in a relationship (rarely done) and let it be a casual one, because everything else will steal focus from the main plot and the fans will hate you forever for doing so. And for fucks sake, don't do ad libs. Prepare the story from the very beginning, or it will become a mess like Homestuck. And don't cave in to the extemist fandumbs, especially when it concerns shipping. These people lack any reasons, and if you give them an inch, they will take a mile.

>>93060753
>avatar state
Dang it, I said the word of the day. Guess that means you can skip over everything else I typed and talk about the rest of the bad writing and say that the bad writing will continue 10,000 years later.

>>93060813
>>93060813
Your point was that Unalaq's spirit was completely destroyed. That's literally the only relevant part of your argument.

>>93060872
And the original thing I was saying was how Unalaq can not be reborn, but Vaatu can be reborn. It won't do anything since Vaatu's bound to Raava, wrestling, like how Vaatu was struggling against Raava when Wan fired.

>>93059555
>The only off part is the last line since he can't be reborn since his soul was destroyed since that is what happens to those who are caught in that spirit technique he taught Korra. Vaatu can be reborn

>>93060944
If Unalaq is a past life for Vaatu, and Vaatu is inside Raava, how is he not being reborn (as in: being a past life for the next avatar)?

To be fair, the full moon wasn't a hard requirement. It was just thought that the only way you could get enough power to do it was through the full moon boost. Logically, someone powerful enough could do it whatever.

It did get too much like a force choke though.

>Firebenders are not redirecting lightning as some random fucking job
There's 6 or 7 firebenders ever shown bending lightning in LoK. 5 of them don't ever show up after that one 5 minute scene and the other one only shows up for an episode.

I don't know why people throw so many shitfits about a throwaway scene that is never mentioned again.

>>93061548
I think that pointing out legitimate problems doesn't really take too much talent.

Its likely a large amount of the plot inconsistencies and plot holes are due to studio and contractual fuckery forcing the writers rather than poor pacing, though I have to admit that the writing for Korra was mediocre at best.

>>93057149
I don't remember where I heard this from but " If I'm walking by and I see a helicopter in a tree, I don't have to be a pilot to realize that somewhere along the line, someone fucked up."

>I don't know why people throw so many shitfits about a throwaway scene that is never mentioned again.

It's mostly a similar thing to the bloodbending bit in that it affects previous worldbuilding.

In the previous series Lightbending was shown as some really high level technique that was only seen around the royal family so could be not only too advanced but also a very exclusive thing. Sure things could have changed in the time-skip decades, but people still threw a fit about how it ended as a menial job.

I'm sure all 3 of them are extremely annoyed.

>>93033835
Remove season 2 and lingering spirit world trappings, have her trigger the re-linking of the portals as a b-plot in the first two episodes of what is now season 2; the rest of the arch can stay as is.

Remove the dumb-ass giant robot from the final season, have the climax instead be an invasion by rail and air using a bunch of mobile spirit-battery artillery cannons combined with her stupidly large and semi-brainwashed infantry corps.

All the rest is fine in my book.

>>93033835
Define Korra a lot better early on. She wasn't enough of a weirdo to stand out, and she wasn't normal enough to make everyone else around her seem crazy. She just wasn't enough of anything, it felt like they didn't really know who she was until later seasons.

And obviously knowing the show would last 4 seasons from the start AND having more writers would have helped. Even if ALL the same plots played out, having them weave around eachother would make the whole world seem a lot more alive. Then it would really feel like Korra was avatar in a very complicated world, where people are trying to unlock evil spirits while super criminals stalk her AND Amon is leading an uprising from the shadows. This would also give chances for these villains to oppose eachother, and tentative alliances with Korra from time to time to build all the relationships.

>>93034217

Why would I want to change it into only a good show when it's already a great show?

>>93061700
Sure you can recognize something went wrong there. But by seeing the crashes helicopter alone you won't be able to pinpoint what exact mechanical failure occurred unless you know something about helicopters. You also won't be able to tell if it was the pilot's fault, or the machine. And you definitely won't be able to fix it from scrap and make it into a much better helicopter than it ever was.
Your simile falls flat on its ass.

>>93060682
What you say is true. But in addition to that it was forced as all hell, about as forced as Makorra.

>>93064948
Well yeah but it's not like they ever considered it until they decided they needed a legacy.

>>93048477
Because it only happened because they knew the show was shit and they wanted to deflect criticism.

>>93066140
People obviously aren't writing dialogue and scene composition etc. It's just ideas about how to fix the ideas put into LoK, sometimes because those ideas were bad or because they where poorly executed.

Basicly people are doing what Bryke seemed to be doing, and hopefully people here would let writers put the ideas into action.

>Air bending cannot make you fly without a fucking glider

Nah. That was the sickest part of the whole series, my jaw fucking dropped and I was cheering on Zaheer from that point. It fit well within the lore, of cutting lose of all your earthly tethers, something Aang refused to do.

>>93034217
I think Korra's main problem lies with the seasons just being short; weren't they about 10-13 eps each? Each season should of been 15+ episode minimum to allow for the characters to develop and build the world a la slice-of-life episodes. What is one (if not THE) most remembered episode of Last Airbender? The Beach episode from season four. Just our characters chillin' and "putting their hearts on their sleeves." Short seasons just cause everything to get rushed for the plot.

>>93070608
Of course Aang refused to do it, controlling the Avatar state and abusing it was a bad thing, he was never supposed to learn to do it. The Avatar cannot protect a world he is wholly detached from.

And "getting rid of your earthly tethers" does not make you fly, that was complete and total bullshit and you know it

>>93070786
Only the first season was written with the expectation that it would be self-contained, after the end of season one they knew they had more seasons.

>>93070786
I wish people stopped suggesting that already. Korra's each season got 12-14 episodes, and the whole show was 52 episodes long. They didn't need any more episodes, they just needed to make good use of the time they got available.

>People either bashing or ignoring best girl
This was the best villain this franchise has ever had. Ozai's world domination discipline and determination without the "muh destiny" garbage. Bryke needed a villain so they added the whole retarded six gorrillion non-earthbenders so people would immediately side against her, without that, they'd have no reason to apprehend her when the whole Earth Nation was experiencing unprecedented order and progress.

When was the last time you saw an idealist so loyal to her ideas as to actually sacrifice an ally? Bataar wasn't just a throaway mook, Kuvira actually loved him, but she had a fucking spine.

>>93075313
She would have been great as the earth Avatars main villain.

>>93033835

Scrap seasons two, three and four and extend the number of episodes in season one from 12 to 20. TLOK should've just been a 20-episode miniseries with the first season's storyline being the only storyline since it was written to be self-contained. The last three seasons were a mistake.

>>93033938
Am I the only one who isn't in denial about Korra and Asami's relationship not being romantic?

>>93035224
Fuck you, the actual philosophy behind it was incredible. Bloodbending during the day was dumb, but it's kind of bullshit to say they can't improve and expand in the way Toph did for Metalbending.

>>93075816
It wasn't really romantic in the show, no reason to make it that either.

>>93075313
She deserves to have her own girlfriend.

I wanted Tenzin to have more prominence in the series. It should have been revealed that Tenzin & Lin were more romantically compatible with each other but Tenzin couldn't be with someone who wouldn't have children. Tenzin should have been a character with a huge amount of weight on his shoulders as the future of the airbender population depended on him reproducing.

Anti-bending should have always been the enemy. I would've enjoyed it if Korra was unable to bend anything but air unless if she went into the Avatar State. Having her be handicapped was one of the best arcs in the series.

>>93077428
Having her handicapped would have been a good S2, not 4. Seeing her flail her limbs and throwing fire hadoukens against Kuvira felt really dull after the whole fight against squid satan and then reverse aang vs. ozai.

Lin was saved by his interactions with Suyin. If anything, I would have liked it more if Toph sided with her so it didn't feel like she was being antagonized by everyone for a change.

>>93077594

What? All the previous Avatars mastered the Avatar State so there was no exuse for why Aang didn't either.

How about the previous Avatars who were detached? In fact his negligence on learning the AS nearly killed him and doomed the world.

>>93034217
Levitate or flying without a glider is actually a good idea, I think. Flying bisons can do it so it's pretty legit that one could learn to fly.
