>Beautiful animation >Great music >Lovable characters

Because they had all of that to work with and somehow still fucked it up due to a mediocre story, and Korra being a useless fuck even after her recovery from getting "crippled".

What is it like to have shit taste? There are WAY better shows from the 80s that out perform that sad sequel.

>>93769704
Because they insisted to make more than 5 episodes.

The only one of those things that are true is the great music and the action scenes. Korra failed at literally everything else.

>Why do we pretend this is bad again?
Because it's actually bad and most of your list is untrue.

Basically my beef with LoK is that it is the definition of wasted potential, there was so much they could've done with the world, characters, and ideas that they themselves brought up but either dropped or just plain fucked up.

Because /co/ users are a bunch of whiny bitches with inhumanly high standards and are never happy.

The story was pretty bad, it's like Bryke forgot how to write a story or something. And every time something cool is introduced it goes to shit. Amon being the prime example but there's a lot more examples.

The only good things Korra ever did was Season 3, half of season 4 and lesbian porn, which would be better anyway if Asami wasn't such a bland and boring character.

LoK is the definition of squandered potential

>animation takes a hit from S2 onwards and remains inconsistent even when the show gets better
>explanations for things in S2 actively work against what little we know about the Avatar and answers questions no one wanted answered nor even asked in the first place.
>S2 in general was a complete fucking miss
>each season is resolved by literal unashamed deus ex machinas born from lazyness
>the majority of villains are one-note anime caricatures
>any attempts at "political discussion" are beyond pointless since, no matter what intentions the villains have, Korra hardly ever compromises or questions anything because "HURR DURR ME AVATAR ME STRONG AND GOOD"
>good writing is not having the heroes lose three-fourths of the time but end up magically winning in order to move the plot along.
>everyone in-universe hates the main character until they don't
>the primary characters and side characters suck, except Bolin. And Lin at first until they drowned her character in sister drama and irrelevance.
>most of the old characters that do come back are treated terribly
>moments that should be poignant are laced with pointless gags or questionable animation direction.
>moments that should be lighthearted are tinged with an undercurrent of bad relationships or character writing
>The show completely ruins the mysticism and mythology of bending by reducing it to a generic anime superpower and handing out elevated powers and abilities like candy on Halloween

The best things about Korra were Amon, Season 3, the Varrick and Bolin dynamic and Zaheer.
It's not irredeemable. ATLA wasn't perfect either.
But Legend of Korra is painfully, incompetently put together. It's great ideas for an Avatar sequel drowned by bumbling characters, incompetent writers, shallow retro-contemporism and anime bullshit.

It was good, not as good as Avatar: TLA... that was the big problem.

He doesn't know how to write a story in the first place. He didn't know how to end the series so he said fuck it and pandered to Tumblr. That fact alone should be enough for him to lose any credibility he had as a writer, not that he had much in the first place.

>>93769704
shitty romance subplots and even shittier conflict resolution.
