There were a number of hints.

Wait, the comic is out already or is this just a preview?

>>93813188
in old time wasn't it expected for people to get married, for the sake of procreation and social standing. people were still gay. It's the idea that they didn't marry for love.

I'm overthinking this, it's not a documentry.

>>93813383
When you're always wearing the yuri goggles, it's hard to tell what's actual subtext and what's just wishful thinking.

If you're going to be a lesbian at least do you dad a fucking solid and get knocked up even by a sperm donor to continue the blood line.

I guess he can have another kid if he still has swimmers and the mom still has eggs

But she's getting old

>>93813354
It is shitty story telling but hardly the worst part.
My biggest issue with LoK is the how they manage to make great antagonist, season 2 not counting because it is entirely shit, just to ruin them and turn them into cliche mustache twirling, tophat wearing being bad just because in the final season episodes.

>>93813422
>yuri goggles
Tumblr wearing homo-goggles. Look at the fucking Voltron blogs.

>>93813431
I'm honestly surprised they only had one kid. They seem like they would be fucking constantly. Maybe the Avatar world has some amazing herbal birth control.

>>93813432
never said it was the worst part. I agree on the villain thing.

I was also super disappointed with what they did with the original cast. Like I know Aang had to be dead, but I feel like every other character got a raw deal never got the chance to do anything interest.

I rewatched ATLA to show it to a friend earlier this year and it really made me see how much squandered potential there was in Korra

>>93813432
They only did that to Zaheer. Amon and Kuvira were actually humanized a lot in their respective finale.

>>93813188
I know it's not intended, but you can really see this as them being genuinely shocked and then plastering on a fake smile.

Must suck having your strong water tribe bloodline end like that. No grandkids, either.

>>93813432
Don't forget clusterfucking the Avatar lore into a retarded mess that doesn't match up with the series' original symbolism.

If them being together means literally nothing why even have this page

>>93813593
You're fucking straight male!

>>93813593
What do you mean it means literally nothing? What did it "mean" for her and Mako to be together in s2?

Not /pol/shitting, but aren't they some kind of a fucking tribals? The instant acceptance seems realy weird.

>>93813685
>aren't they some kind of a fucking tribals
All the more reason to accept it. Asami is fucking loaded.

>>93813295
I'd take it in the ass if it meant eating regularly

>>93813702
They don't need money. Sokka made them all rich by discovering oil.

What they do need is a bigger population.

>>93813483
Honestly, he's the chief of his tribe. There was no reason only to HAVE one kid. Especially a daughter who's also the avatar. Once they found out, you'd have expected them to get to work on another heir pretty quick.

This is what gets me the most, especially because they got the fucking concepts wrong. White(yang) is aggressive, domineering, masculine. Black(yin) is submissive, subdued, feminine.

And they had the chance to actually factor wuji into this, which is the infinite void from which both factors spring to define the universe. That could have been a REALLY cool plot for how the avatar is the avatar because THEY LITERALLY CREATED EVERYTHING FUCK.

>Lol no jk they're chibi Pokémon knockoffs now
Don't forget how they apparently took over the human world until Wan sent them back, after which Korra lets them out to do it again.

>But a Little girl can master three different behind styles before the age of ten, including her polar opposite, without a lick of spirituality while somehow still having the stubbornness of a bull and the brains of one two.

Korra's father is probably fucking happy that his retarded spawn is never going to reproduce.
Think about it: the man has to live everyday of his life knowing that it's his fault that Korra got unleashed in their world.

>>93813188
I might be completely off base here but for a while now at least it seems like the cliché has become the parents are one hundred percent supportive and gung ho about their kid being gay.

I find it kind of annoying because even the most supportive parents tend to at least be shocked a bit.

so this is what Korra turned into. From being the avatar to a the woman of color and a lesbian. That's her entire character

>>93813392
number? there wasn't any, they never got along as much as Korra did with Mako, They barely saw each other, there was no motive of them being lovers. The entire coupling is forced and thrown out of nowhere

>>93816596
Impressive that you can tell that from one page where she says like a dozen words.

>>93816639
is not like she had actual highlights besides being a whiny cunt

>>93813791
wait, Sokka did that to the water tribe? I might've missed that

Most of the Avatar world is pre-modern in atmosphere so it's ridiculous that her parents are totally OK with having no descendants.

>>93814439
>This is what gets me the most, especially because they got the fucking concepts wrong. White(yang) is aggressive, domineering, masculine. Black(yin) is submissive, subdued, feminine.
To be fair, they couldn't get it right because it's offensive for the western mindset. You know, implying females are inherently submisive and shit. It makes a lot of sense for Asians but westerners prefer the old Zoroastrian dichotomy that they adopted as Christianity

>>93813354
>It's not like they suddenly gay in the final ep
It actually is.
There was no buildup.

>>93816765
They are also Inuit inspired and those even have a pretty gay friendly history.

Season 4 was fucking great until the last episode.

Man, if all this comic is really about is everyone congratulating Korra for overcoming her heterosexual urges, this will be a boring slog.

Maybe I'll stick with Gwenpool. She would only turn gay if it meant more readers. And she isn't that desperate... yet.

>>93813188
Now that I think about it, it kinda makes sense. The Fire Nation would do raids which would kill off men and water benders. Almost all the men of the Southern Water Tribe went to war for years and many to never came back. That leaves a lot of lonely, needy and cold women to find comfort of all sorts in each other.

>>93816793
>Korra and asami are super close, even in s1
>fighting over the same guy, they still have no ill will towards each other
>remain super duper close the entire time
>s4 starts, korra only messages asami while finding herself

but yeah, okay, it's 'out of nowhere'.

apparently every show needs to hit you over the head with the pairing or else it has 'no buildup'.

>>93817597
Late term abortions are legal in the water tribe, I'm sure.

>>93817726
korra and asami were hardly close in s1
hell, asami was barely any character in s1. she was more of a plot device to be acted upon

>>93813188
The only thing that stands out as a bit strange is how easily her parents accepted the whole thing, considering they're from the Southern Water Tribe. I figure maybe the Northern Tribe would be a little more progressive given it was never reduced down to a bumfuck igloo village, but who knows.

It's still all good because at least we avoided a stupid fucking "oh noes you're GAY? Time for another lesson on bigotry and oppression!" plot.

>>93813392
>There were a number of hints.
There were far more hints that Mako and Bolin were gay for each other.

>>93813188
Can we please forget Korra existed already?

>>93813681
To pull the lesbian card oftentimes means you want to make controversy, or show how hard life is for lesbians. If neither of these is happening, there is no narrative reason for this lesbian relationship. Just fandom pandering, which should never be done.

>>93817778
Asami was barely a character in any season. She's such a non character that her father's death barely matters worth shit to anyone. Not even her supposed lover.

>>93817843

Who else is tired of seeing the same coming out scene in media? Nowadays you can't have any conflict or drama about social issues so everybody has this phony "Wow that's great!" attitude. You never see well-meaning parents be concerned and ask their child if they're sure and not just following a passing fad or fancy or even jokingly go "Well there go our grandchildren!" anymore. It's like the people in fiction are so concerned with being tolerant that they stop having even basic human emotional responses and end up looking wooden and fake.

Catholism doesn't exist in the avatar world to teach homophobia tho and consume water tribes into their fold like what happened to the Inuits. But since they're in corrupted, their gay friendly values weren't erased yet

What's wrong with being gay?

>>93818231
it's gay

>>93817843
Korra permanently altered how the Avatar universe works and mostly for the worse. It's impossible to ignore, and maybe even to patch up in the aftermath. Because you know Bryke will never admit that all the newly homeless Republic City citizens are entirely correct in being pissed off at Korra. Or the people across the globe who now have to deal with the existence of spirit vine-powered superweapons, and pissy spirits in general. OR acknowledge the inevitable political fallout from having half of Republic City devastated (and the entire Earth Empire collapsing in on itself).

>>93818101
Your idea didn't sound that profound either. People will just complain the lore is ruined still since the void thing also was never talked about from last airbender

>>93818056
It's because if you have any of those obvious human responses in real life, you're branded an ignorant bigot. If a fictional character shows them, they're automatically the bad guys.

>>93818231
We don't really know. Some cultures allowed buttfucking like ancient Greece or feudal Japan but the fags still marry with women and have children. The gay identity is a recent western concept, product of the individualism and the self-definition in contrast with the feudal collectivism. We're still figurint out

>>93818127

>>93816596
Aang and the rest of the gang are also persons of color

>>93818303
I would argue that the gay identity is a reaction to, and rejection of, gay oppression which itself is a relatively recent invention in human history.

>>93817729

>>93818378
I think this is correct. Gay pride is the product of the internalization of homosexuality as a lifestyle in and of itself rather than a lifestyle choice. You think to yourself "I am" and then your brain finishes for you "A GAY." Ancient civilizations didn't do this because your profession or your station in life was always more important to one's idea of self than who someone prefers to bone. In fact, in Greece they didn't even have a term for "homosexual" because the idea of a man only having sex with other men (and not just occasionally) wasn't a common enough idea to warrant it.

I really dislike how this whole discussion poisoned the opportunity for any actual discussion or criticism of the series

I like Legend of Korra, but I also realize that the show has flaws and I would like to criticize those flaws, the dark Avatar idea is kinda lame, and is just as much unbalanced as having a regular Avatar, but state as such and people come out of the woodwork to talk about how Legend of Korra supposedly is the worst thing ever

But here's something though, even the people who didn't like it as a sequel series to Avatar the Last Airbender, imagine if Bryke tried to pull the same shit Disney pulled on Star Wars in The Force Awakens

>Fire Nation again threatening to invade the Earth Kingdom
>Zuko's kid turned out to be just as evil as his or her grandfather, kinda raising questions why anyone would allow such a twisted family to continue propagating, they also killed all but one airbender
> Korra is the same age as Aang in Last Airbender, and has to learn bending from Aang's old crew, but she is being hunted down by the Fire Nation, and everyone is looking for Aang's son Tenzin who vanished as the war began anew
> First season ends with the Fire Nation revealing a new airship fleet, and this time it's bigger than ever before, in fact it's so big that one airship is the length of several kilometer
> It gets destroyed very quickly by a rather anti climatic resistance

>>93818574
Jar Jar Abrams was a mistake.

>>93818387
Eh. Earth Kingdom seemed like a European-Chinese hybrid to me. Especially in the Republic City

>>93818574
>the dark Avatar idea is kinda lame
I wouldn't have even minded if it were less "Dark Avatar" and more of an active counterbalance. The whole system seems to rely on the assumption that no Avatar will be a true evil dick. But the Avatar is at least half human, so what exactly is stopping one or more from going evil? There needs to be something out there that can take down a rogue Avatar as needed, but hang out in the background otherwise.

Republic City wasn't in the Earth Kingdom though, I mean it's rightful Earth Kingdom territory, but state as such and you're suddenly a Kuviraist

As for Republic City it looks like a little bit more asianized version of early 20th century East Asian cities, who were clearly influenced by the Western great powers

>>93818941
I still excuse it with the fact that you could just say that Unalaq was just nutty and Vaatu would of course use deception to get his chance to defeat Raava, but I would definitely like the idea more if Unalaq's plan was a bit more balanced, like what if his plan was to try to combine both Raava and Vaatu within Korra? Culminating in both a light Korra aspect and a dark Korra aspect having their spiritual throwdown at Republic City

>>93818991

My first reaction is that this is progressive bullshit. Parents might accept homosexuality, but they are never fucking happy about it. No one is happy about hearing that your lineage has come to an end because your daughter is into muff instead of dicks.

But it's not too bad in context. Both native Indians and most Asians were surprisingly tolerant of homosexuality. Until the progressive Europeans taught those barbarians what god and modern society thinks about that shit.

You think? The ending really came out of nowhere. It's like they wanted to be progressive but they were too big of pussies to actually develop an actual relationship for fear of retaliation. So they came up with the hack solution of showing as little as possible and then acting like they were progressive the whole time.

>>93819364

It's exactly like they're suddenly gay in the final shot of the final episode. There's nothing leading up to it and it doesn't make sense given he characters and story up to that point.

>>93820866
>It's exactly like they're suddenly gay in the final shot of the final episode. There's nothing leading up to it and it doesn't make sense given he characters and story up to that point.
Yeah, that's why everyone calls them out for the ending being nothing but low-effort PC attention move. The "build-up" was literally stuff like Korra complimenting Asami's hair, a completely normal comment between friends that any two heterosexual girls might make.

>>93820866
>>93821069
A fun experiment would be to imagine what the series would be like if we didn't end on the suddenly lesbians note, but shippers still insisted KorraxAsami was legit. In that case, how would most of the fandom react?

>>93821258

>>93821281

It'd be reaching, big time. That's why the ending is so bullshit.

>>93821349
Well there you go. Obviously, those who say suddenly lesbians was well set up are wrong.

>>93818127
This is the reality. Homosexuality is like autism: you just suddenly feel bad for the person who has that disability.

>>93821069
But that's the thing, not enough people are calling them out, in fact there are a lot of people praising them for being brave and shit. They're possibly being rewarded for their at the very least lackluster portrayal of this.

>>93821394
This isn't new information. Anyone with half a brain knows that. It just doesn't extend to yurifags.

Nobody ever fucked cared about them being gay, but they have no right to act proud of themselves for having gay characters when they didn't even do the first thing to establish that they were even gay or had feelings for each other in the first place.

That's just you subconsciously rooting for Bolin because you identify with him. You want him to get the girl because you also want to get the girl.

I'm sure lots of gays out there identify with either Asami or Korra so they were rooting for that ship.

>That's just you subconsciously rooting for Bolin because you identify with him.
That's some serious assumptions there. I was using him as an example. If Korra had suddenly gotten with Bolin at least there would've been a basis for it. Asami and Korra never even had a scene together that implied romance until the very fucking last second.

I don't give two fucks about shipping in Korra at all. They're all unlikable dickwads and I just don't care who got together with who. But if we're going to pretend Korra and Asami are these "pround and brave" LGBT characters it's hard to ignore that they never did anything romantic together at all, ever. All the "romantic" subplots in this show were heterosexual relationships.

>>93822230
Bolin atleast showed affection and romantic feelings towards Korra in their date episode. Which is more than can be said for Asami.

it's almost like if they did it correctly than this comic would be unnecessary. It's not because it was an ass pull in the show.

Like seriously, how did anyone think that the ending of the show meant they wanted a relationship? It just seemed like Korra wanted to fuck Asami and let off some steam.

>>93822398
What is there to like about? It's shallow and hurts both characters when they interact. I can't see how anyone liking Korra or Asami would be happy about Korrasami at all.

The show that spawned this one is miles better in literally every aspect.

Also, there is nothing to "compare" it to, it's an outright abysmally done show. The pacing was awful, the characters were shallow and unlikable, the jump from simple cars and motorboats to "GIANT ROBOTS" was jarring and poorly done, the entire concept of a "dark avatar" could've been done well but was so poorly executed that it put Energy bending to shame, the fact that Korra releases the spirts into the mortal realm after Wan had worked so hard to put them back due to their rancid hatred of humanity was idiotic, the love triangles were grating and horrendously unessicary, the Equalists were an interesting concept than was horrendously dumb, it took the entirety of the mythos surrounding the Avatar established prior in canon material and took a giant dump on it, every single progressive theme that was tossed into the show was poorly handled and practically crammed down the audience's throat (Wan's whole ordeal with the people vs the government, Korra and Asami's sudden relationship at the end of the series, the not-so-subtle race-relation issues established in the first season, ext.), the fact that Korra was already a competent bender in her toddler years while Aang struggled with two different elements in his teens, the fact that the entire struggle of Season 1 was predicated on the idea that Korra was afraid she wouldn't get to play Avatar anymore instead of something more serious unlike Aang who since the literal second episode was established to care more about the well-being of others than he was his own, ext.

Also, just because the show tries do delve into new territory doesn't excuse it failing to competently do so. Yes, it tried to tackle deeper issues, issues that are currently rocking the face of society, but it was handled in a horrendously fashion with an overall underwhelming conclusion.

>>93822414
>The anons ideas aren't great but please show me even one sitcom with scissoring hand gestures

The best interpretation i've seen is that she is sad her identity as the Avatar is over, that others are taking up the mantle and making her obsolete.

She was physicly and mentally crippled. Unable to walk and use bending while attending a ceremony celebrating a new master airbender and the air nomads becoming the world police.

>>93822650
Do you? Stop being a pedantic fuck. You could classify literally any comedy as "situational", but since MOST people aren't completely fucking brain dead, we know shit like South Park or Superbad or whatever else CLEARLY AREN'T SITCOMS.

The commonly understood definition of a sitcom is unbelievably clear, and you trying to warp it doesn't make you right, it makes you an idiot. Seinfeld is a sitcom. Friends is a sitcom. Two and a Half Men is a sitcom. The loosest definition would include IASIP. Generally three-camera live action shows.

Not saying that's not bad, but it still seems like a weird response considering Aang survived a genocide and lost everyone who ever cared about him.

>>93822783
Korra's arc from the start should have been her being jazzed about being the Avatar and then having to come to terms with a world that didn't actually need the Avatar anymore. She'd have to find a new use for both who and what she is, which also means learning how not to be a punchy moron.

I accept that Borra died in one episode and that Makorra died in book 2. And given how the show progressed from there Korra shouldn't have to tie herself to another person to feel happy, she should make her own happiness as a single.

Here's your (/u/), /u/

Except they are. By definition, a sitcom is literally any show with a recurring cast that gets placed in comedic situations. The show being live action isn't a requirement.

Korra shouln't snatch up anybody desu. She should if anything get a meaningful relationship build up over time with someone that she is attracted to and who is attracted to her.

>>93822951
Korra doesn't have a good friendship with anyone let alone one that could become a relationship. I mean fuck, she was an utter cunt to Tenzin.

>>93822951
That someone wouldn't happen to be you, ha!

>>93822932
I don't think it was directly stated to be mercury, but it was stated to be a liquid metal of some kind so mercury is very likely.

As for how they did it, no one knows. It's probably another instance of Bryke forgetting their own lore and going with "rule of cool".

>>93822932
Mercury has impurities, the plothole is that platinum should have impurities too

>>93822932
bryke fucked up and they never talk about it

some fans will try to say they mixed in mud or some shit but then we still have the problem of getting the metal out of her

It's just another reason the writing was a trainwreck

>>93822963
She's very much on friendly terms with the krew. But personally i don't see her dating anyone present in the show. It would be a new character introduced in a comic if anything.

>>93822964
Obviously not. It would be someone who can handle her fiery personality without riling her up further. Someone who respects her and her duty as the avatar. And i doubt any of krew is capable of that.

>>93817790
bumfuck igloo village is why it worked. The north was steeped in tradition (remember how Katara couldn't even get trained when she first showed up?) The south literally didn't have enough population left to keep any extraneous tradition around, so they just did whatever. Sure some loyalists bitched about it in the comics but it's obvious how it shook out.

>>93823061
>someone who can handle her fiery personality without riling her up further. Someone who respects her and her duty as the avatar.

I'm sure Asami fits well in that regard, but I'm also sure you disagree

>>93823105
Yeah Asami can't handle her and actually riled her up or shot her down entirely when they actually had an argument. And i don't see her compromising her company for Korras sake either.

I'd say Asami is an even worse matchup than Mako desu. Mako and Asami however fit rather well together.

So did we ever get an explanation as to why Korra started as a firebender despite being born water tribe? Did she meet a firebender when she was little? I checked the wiki but all I found was that her "personality" overrides the avatar cycle

>>93821901
Nah, Bolin's been in his universes equivalent of Hollywood for a while. If anybody knows about the gays, it's him. If it's shocked, it's because: "Wait, Women do that too?"

>>93823167
That would be objectifying them, and i'm sure bryke is against that.

>>93822932
no, they earth bent it into her. Don't forget the whole lotus group was into unconventional bending. Earth benders who learned waterbending like motions with liquid metal is shit they'd do.

>>93823202
That's pretty much it. But then again, Aang was by nature an airbender so i'm not sure the born in tribe matters much for how good you are at an element compared to you personality.

>>93813354
>there were hints

Why does tumblr think every woman that's mildly muscular is gay?

>>93823202
>So did we ever get an explanation as to why Korra started as a firebender despite being born water tribe?
It's implied that she mastered water, earth, and fire at the start of the series. There's a cycle the Avatar's follow based on where they were born. Aang was air so his order was air, water, earth, fire. Korra was water, so her order was water, earth, fire, air. We see her finishing her firebending training at the beginning, she had already mastered the other two and just had air left.

It's because almost no one defends the fucking robot. Whereas this is routinely defended for being progressive.

>>93823260
Her training doesn't bother me so much as her bending as an infant does.
>>93823251
Firstly it's genetic but the avatar can bend all of them. They still need instruction though. Aang needed instruction about bending before he could make a spark, and it took him forever to learn earthbending. And that's with him being a prodigy. He was a natural at water bending but he still needed to be instructed about it by Katara.

I guess I'm saying that bending was always a martial art that needed instruction and it was never explained how a five year old living in the snowy wastelands of the south pole learned how to do fire and earth.

Like it almost seemed like the whole reason for that scene was to show Korra was an exception to the rules.

>>93823213
Bryke did a beach episode in a western cartoon. And Korra is being objectified by her entire fanbase.
I think it's more likely that they jewed out.

I might not enjoy LOK as a show, but it gave me more masturbatory fuel than anything ever. I was seriously starting to get bored of jerking off until LOK.

Korra is the ultimate hateboner.

He thinks you need to explain how the spirit world works down to the smallest detail

>>93823354
Yeah the Avatar can bend all of them, but Aang only had problems learning Earth. Fire and Water came easy to him to the point that he outshined Katara spectacularly on his first try at waterbending. I'm sure he could have waterbending miniscule amounts of water without a teacher of any kind.

Same goes for Korra, her toddler bending wasn't really anything impressive as far as actual bending goes. And she is supposed to be an even bigger prodigy at the martial aspect of bending than Aang was. By the start of the show (when she's a teen) she's been couped up in a compound training for 12 years with Water, Earth and fire masters, she's gone through all the training and have them pretty much mastered.

And yeah Korra is supposed to be so exceptional at physical bending that she found out she was the avatar on her own. She didn't get good at it before learning from masters however.

>>93823534
The problem is that if they just showed her training then it would have been fine. But they went out of her way to show that she was bending them as a toddler. Without instruction, and without practice.

>>93823556
Same outfit dunderhead, also they saw him get thrown out with the mask and all

Would you want them to presume that the Avatar got a fake Amon to throw himself out as a way to fool them?

>>93813188
Doesn't make -feel- anything, but it does make me think that it's such a forced moment. Parents who accept that their only child is pursuing a homosexual relationship have not only given up on their legacy, but the legacy of all those that came before them. It's like saying "Hey it's ok that we spent X years of our lives raising a selfish dead-end! We really love this!"

>>93823562
Except it was an empty city and infantry are more effective in urban warfare than heavy armor...

>>93823612
They implied it with the scene change where she goes from toddler to her final fire bending test.

Unless you mean the tiny rock, puff of fire and water rasing she did as a toddler. Which i'm sure Aang could have done too if he'd try it.

>>93823603

They didn't know that, also the civilians were gone, but not Team Avatar

And for all Kuvira knew there could have been an entire Fire Nation Army waiting to ambush her forces inside the city

Also infantry vs heavy armor is kinda moot when you have an army of mecha infantry and a gigantic death machine

>>93823698
Not so sure about that. Ursa was related to an Avatar and that was the main reason Ozai married her (even forced her i think). Being related to an Avatar is a big deal.

>>93823794
exactly. The strength of the giant was it's canon. It should have been kept out of the city and kept safe around a section of the army. Walking it right into the city was as pointless as possible.

I mean unless Kuvira was foolish or suddenly had a lapse of military judgement, which is out of character for her.

Imagine a world where Amon and Korra both have to go on their own journeys in order to work together and bring balance and shit.

Shooting them from miles away isn't necessarily too accurate, also she had to occupy the city

If she sent in her mecha units and had colossus as artillery support she risks causing major damage upon friendly forces

>>93822745
I'm comparing it to other other works with halfway decent pacing. Mainly stuff like And Then There Were None and Wander, for both ends of the spectrum. Korra not making an inch of headway towards air bending then suddenly getting it at the 11th hour, Korra never being spiritual and then somehow mastering the Avatar state in a single episode, Amon being set up as this big bad for an entire season, and pushing Team Avatar to their breaking point only to be defeated in 5 minutes, the entirety of the Avatar history being erased in a minute, and the very core of the Avatar coming to be by a man getting the sudden idea to touch a glowing beam of light, are all horrendously paced in Korra.

As for lame execution, the Equalists could've had a better case if Korra didn't form her trio because her two friends were being screwed over by a non-bender. We never see the atrocities committed by benders in Republic City, but we do see a bunch of non-benders trying to take away the power of benders because they're apparently being oppressed. I mean you know you're oppressed when the literal symbol of bender power is powerless against you right? The same goes for the dark avatar. Having a foil to the Avatar is cool in theory, but only spending a couple episodes turning him into that foil was a terrible use of the concept. He should've been a literal counter to the Avatar, one who wanted to being ballance through control rather than freedom as the Avatar does. The Avatar is supposed to be the diplomat between the worlds, and both are free to live as they please. They alive problems, but do not dictate. Now imagine a foil that literally brings about that diplomacy by keeping everyone under his thumb. Instead of keeping balance through stopping any attempts at totalitarian rule, he squashes any attempts to usurp it. Instead, Unalaq wanted everyone to come together, and hope for the best.

>>93823884
>Imagine a world where the spirits actually gave him energybending.
where would they get energybending? only 2 beings were shown to have it, the lion turtle & aang?

>>93823847
True enough. Though i think avatar genes had little to do with Fire nation royals as Ozai was unbalanced aswell and he wasn't related to an Avatar. But it still shows that people think higly of the avatar and those related to them.

>>93823680
>All he can do is make Commie Memes to try and justify his absolutely abhorrent taste
Sad.

>>93823924
You could make an argument that the Avatar line split once Aang died from Azula's lightning. Or, if not that, that there was such an imbalance, the spirits thought it necessary to split it themselves. Science works too.

My point is that they had the potential for an antagonist with actual depth but instead it was another evil bloodbender who was evil and wanted to be powerful.

>>93823896

It was actually very accurate by the way she used it. And she wouldn't be able to occupy the city with her mech anyway. To do that she would need to send in her mecha units anyway. Going into the city with her canon serves no purpose as it only exposes it to infiltration by her enemy. If she want's to use the canon it would function better from far away with a better overview of the battlefield and where it is more secure.

>>93823924
Or they could've just made Amon a very proficient chi blocker.

>>93823978
His motivation literally made no sense too. Why was he removing the bending of people? The backstory did little to reinforce or explanation his quest he devoted his entire life to.

>>93823884

Man I forgot how amazing Amon was before they ruined him

>>93823896

>Imagine a world where Amon's backstory is real.
Spirits can go fuck themselves, it's a lame backstory
>Imagine a world where the show recognize that Amon was making some pretty valid points, even if he was going about it totally wrong.
He could just as well complain that some people are born taller, or more intelligent, he did nothing more than fuel jealousy caused by people being born differently
> Imagine a world where the spirits actually gave him energybending.
Again fucking lame, bloodbending is a lot more visceral
>Imagine a world where that explains why Korra always sucked at spiritual stuff, and why she could never talk to her past lives.
Some people are less spiritual than others, I've never had any spiritual experience, but I went to a Christian private school and there were a lot of people who God was a companion
>Imagine a world where Amon and Korra both have to go on their own journeys in order to work together and bring balance and shit.
That would suck, Among is good as a villain and a threat, not as a companion
>Imagine a world where Amon takes over republic city but becomes increasingly disgusted with his officer's actions, as a child's parents are beaten for harboring a bender, and he sees a reflection of his own parents burning alive.
You should stop sucking Amon's dick, you wouldn't happen to be projecting unto him? That would be sad
>Imagine Korra having to go on a spirit quest to learn why she initially lost, and why the world needs an Avatar that doesn't just punch through problems.
She did learn that she can't just fight all her problems, I don't know what show you watched, apparently the Legend of Amon

>>93824005
It think it was something along the lines of "daddy was mean to me with his bending", "bending can be used for evil", "everyone is better off without bending".

Katara was a feminist who lived in a tiny village at the South Pole.

>>93824042
Try to use that as support as close quarters urban combat ensues, she would be blowing up her own forces as much as she would the defenders

This actually reads like a tumblr webcomic. The Korra cartoon has its problems but it wasn't like this at all.

>>93824070
Did you stop at Season 1? Korra goes back to punching out problems in Season 2.

I love how the motions he did looked EXACTLY like chi bending just to fuck with the fans.

>>93824134
She never stopped in season 1 either, she learned it after getting crippled and being unable to crush Kuvira, that's why she tries to get Kuvira to surrender in the end of Book 4 instead of killing her as the plan was for Amon, Unalaq, and the Red Lotus

That anon is right. Asami, especially, ended up having no more character than being another character's armcandy, and the korrasami shilling only cements that. And Korra's personality amounted to "bitch mode: ON/OFF", and it got so bad, Bryke literally had to format her brain with dark spirit magic in book 2, so she went from dumb hothead to just plain dumb.

As it stands, korrasami has nothing going for it besides the porn and cheesecake; even most diehard korrasami fans only like for political reasons, obviously.

It's such a pile of nothing, the only real accomplishment is that it's getting any traction.

>>93824113
She could use it as a threat to the civillians in the city if they fought back against her soldiers. It's not like she cared about preserving the city itself anyway seeing as she fired it more than once in close quarters.

Besides it wouldn't be easy for the krew to stop those mech units with their fire, lightning and waterbending plus thick armour. Even Bolins lavabending had trouble dealing with them.

>>93824197
>>93824113
Also i just remembered that she actually did send in her mech units after going in herself and that didn't stop her from firing her canon.

>doesn't chase after her down the hill where he could have done it just to be 100% certain no one could see them do it
Just admit the writing for this show was a fucking joke

>>93823286
Personally, I bitch more about her retarded spirit apologetics and ruining the world in general.

>>93824070
>it's a lame backstory
If you think being burned alive with your family fueling your revenge is a lame backstory, then you have no taste.

>he could complain people are born intelligent or strong.
If you think that's even remotely comparable to being able to shoot fire from your god damn hands, then you're a fool. It is technically possible for most folks, with enough effort, to get really muscular or know lots of things. But having bending is the equivalent of getting a free, infinite ammo gun, and only some people are allowed it. Not to mention job restrictions. Why would they hire you for construction instead of an earthbender? Why would they hire you for an electrical plant instead of a lightningbender? The list goes on and on. You're are wrong and your comparison sucks balls.

>bloodbending is better than spirit or science stuff
Incorrect. Its just yet another evil man. Super lame and boring.

>blah blah god
I said it'd give a better reason, dope. I didn't say there wasn't already a meh reason.

>Among is good
Who is among

>you're projecting
Oh you're shitposting. Sorry, I didn't know. Unless that shitty meme is actually your argument? But that would be silly. No one is that dumb.

>Korra stops punching problems
Did you forgot the part where she punched everything in S2 and S3 to the point it got her fucking paralyzed cus she couldn't strategize? Or the part in S4 where she tried to fight Kuvira alone in front of her whole army?

>>93824242
Opening the portals and the vines spreading uncontrollably implies that she literally ruined the future of humanity

>>93824308
I agree but they only thought they were getting the one season so that's all they had.

>>93821441
So do vaccines give you autism or make you gay?

I want everyone's rewritten version of LOK. Change as much or as little as need be.

>>93824340
I'd give them a pass for the shit writing for season 1 if the other seasons didn't also have just as bad or worse writing.

>>93824239
The thing is, they don't explain how waterbending can cancel out bending. The "it creates a clot inside your brain" is pure fan speculation. Everything about it goes unexplained and expects the viewers to buy it without question.

>>93824343
A /co/ rewrite of Korra would be neat but we never finish any projects so.

>>93823924
>where would they get energybending? only 2 beings were shown to have it, the lion turtle & aang?
At that point they hadn't ruined the backstory of Avatar, so you could say there were at least still some people out there who still understood how to energy bend, even if it had since gone out of style.

>>93824340
I highly doubt they had some grand master plan of Amon's backstory being real. That's just what fans want to think to justify the terrible writing.

And even if they did, which they didn't, you don't compromise your art because maybe you'll get fucked. Imagine if the last episode of the original run of Samurai Jack had such a shitty, rushed ending.

>>93824364
the amount that goes unexplained in the fucking show is insane

>>93824364
Yeah how bloodbending block Ki permanently with no cure is never explained. And how Energy bending cures it isn't exlained either.

>People actually enjoy Beginnings

The art was pretty but it was literally the midichorians of Avatar

>>93824411
>>93824364
don't forget how Amon could block all the chi but didn't block the biological part of her that allowed air bending.

>>93824364
I assumed it was something like fouling up your chakras, since at least that got some attention back in ATLA.

>>93824343
First step would be to set it in a separate universe from The Last Airbender's so it's impossible to retroactively ruin that series. Just do the Final Fantasy thing where it's a completely separate setting with some shared aspects between the two, like bending and the spirit world.

>>93824343
We used to have thread with people coming up with changes to LoK. Some where good some weren't, but most were better than the show.

>>93824252
>If you think being burned alive with your family fueling your revenge is a lame backstory, then you have no taste.
It's the oldest cliche in the book dude, stop reading garbage tier fantasy books
>It is technically possible for most folks, with enough effort, to get really muscular or know lots of things
It's impossible though to get taller or get a higher intellectual capacity, in a world with bending it's just another luck of the draw in the genetic lottery, you could just as wish for a revolution where all the ugly people revolt against the normies
>Incorrect. Its just yet another evil man. Super lame and boring.
Bloodbending doesn't make you naturally evil, it's just unethical to cause such pain and suffering by using the ability, Amon himself could just as well believe in the cause, but as I've explained he's wrong because he's spouting commie logic
>Who is among
I get that a little typo probably is enough to confuse you
>you're shitposting
Lame excuse
>Did you forgot the part where she punched everything in S2 and S3
And she got punished for it, then she showed mercy towards Kuvira and it actually stopped the problem, hurray, we got to the end of our character arc

>>93824419
Lets just pretend Beginnings never happened. Hell lets pretend Korra never happened.

>>93824432
which you could say he didn't and only blocked three but then that doesn't explain him reacting, "IMPOSSIBLE"

like he clearly thought he removed all her bending

>>93824462
the season finale threads were so good, half of /co/ was pissed off and the other half were laughing their asses off

>>93824462
99% of what people come up with on this board is fanfiction tier garbage, still better than tumblr, but anyone who takes ideas from here need to get their head checked

Imagine if Bumi had been this super ass-kicking nonbender general that could fuck up like half the cast with his chi blocking and smoke grenades and shit.

Like that scene in that JL movie where Bateman throws a smoke and then that lady inhales it all, but then he's like "psych, it's knock out gas, ya dumb bitch" only its with Bumi versus that S3 airbender guy,

Homosexuality is a sin.
But sinners have all the fun.

>>93813269
Just like IRL.
As a man that lives in Brazil, owns a business and has dealt with lots of this kind of family, if the person is rich and they shower your family with gifts, they won't care.

>>93824527
Chi blocking is lame when you start giving it to every nonbender, it becomes nothing ore than a crutch, flute general Bumi was best Bumi

>>93823202
her mom fucked a firebender

>>93824527
I wanted Bumi to know the marital arts the bending styles were based on. I thought that would have been neat.

>>93824475
I actually think Book 2 might improve alot by just skipping Beginnings.

>>93824508
Sure, those weren't the thread i was thinking about though. We have had many many threads since then about rewriting LoK some from the ground up others just making minor changes. One weird thing i noticed however seemed to be an obsession with keeping Korrasami.

>>93824523
The ideas in many cases were better than the execution of LoKs ideas. Given the right writers i think they would turn out better than what Bryke managed to do.

>>93824573
>>93824527
naw man he was perfect as yet another comic relief who was yet another moron!

GENIUS BRYKE

>>93824508
It would be fairly sad if the same people come into every Legend of Korra thread to still be pissed, I'm still here laughing though which is pretty sad as well

>>93824164
they kinda ruined it in the end where he had to do it while no one was watching
then again, they ruined the entire end of the 1st season, so why shouldn't that be ruined too

>>93824527
It's amazing how quickly they ruined him.

>>93824581
>The ideas in many cases were better than the execution of LoKs ideas. Given the right writers i think they would turn out better than what Bryke managed to do.

Every time /co/mblr tries to create something it turns into a autistic trainwreck, audience ideas are garbage

does anyone have the pic of Bryan & Mike's work post avatar that pretty much paints who fell into the SJW well & who came out unscathed?

>>93824596
you gotta understand that the korra fans liked the show but hated the finales because how blatantly bad they were. By the third and four finale they were just so disappointed and angry. It was like the samurai jack finale on steroids

>>93824626
I got no objection there. Just wish Bryke had the same mindset, but as it is they don't.

>>93824596
I'm still pissed that Bryke chose pandering over story, but i come into LoK thread because i like LoK and want to see something good come from it.

People are and will always mad about Korra because of how good Avatar was. Its like the Prequels but we won't ever get a Force Awakens to try and make things better.

>>93824432
I guess the avatar is born with four separate nervous systems, complete with four indepedent brains.

>>93824433
Which reminds me how the spirituality themes of the original series were so grotesquely neglected in TLOK as to be reduced to exchangeable, upgradable superpowers like it was Naruto or some shoddy RPG for smartphones.

Easy telekinesis through blood, fusing with giant magical flatworms, unlocking flight, vine-powered lasers in giant platinum mecha -- that's something you'd expect from World of Warcraft, only WoW at least doesn't take itself seriously.

.... so why did a bunch of nonbenders get airbending for no reason again? Why would opening the spirit portal do that?

>>93824709
>acting like TFA was any good
nice try

>>93824723
literally more ass pulling. Airbenders had been dead for over a hundred years with Aang but just randomly they started NOT POPPING UP but have the powers GRANTED to people another generation later

as to why, another one of Korra's shitty plot points that's never explained

>>93824749
Didn't see it which is why I said try. But you at least understand what I meant right? Were never getting another Avatar so Korra will always be the big sore thumb it is.

>>93824723
Because "balance".

Whatever the hell that means.

>>93824788
I'm not gonna act like Korra was any good, but I don't think that getting another series that's more or less a remake of Avatar like TFA was to the original Star Wars would be any better
especially if we get a worse mary sue main character, a more emo main villain, & a feeling of "everything is bigger, so this new thing is better"

>>93824813
Balance is treated as some sort of moral imperative in LoK despite it being both poorly defined and questionable in worth. Why did everyone need it so bad in the first place? Is imbalance never good? At least in ATLA, the imbalance came from the Fire Nation going Napoleon on everyone else.

>>93824788
The Force Awakens is the prime example of how terrible Legend of Korra could have gone

In fact it gave me a lot of respect towards the series as it's clear that the vision for Legend of Korra is closer to how Knights of the Old Republic II jumped off from the first game rather than how the Force Awakens wallowed in the original trilogy

It also brings the air nation back though, and the end of the Earth Kingdom monarchy is eventually presented as something positive, indirect causes of course, and a lot of conflict has to be solved because of it to, but the conflict is a indirect and unforeseen cause as well

If anyone had suspected that Zaheer would become an air bender because of leaving the spirit portals open it would be ludicrous

It's a fairly reasonable guess though, and if you asked the creators they would most likely confirm it

Everyone in the show certainly seems to think it's the case, Tenzin even has to console Korra with the fact that although opening the portals caused the Earth Kingdom to fall in ruins and for Kuvira to take power, it also meant that the Air Nation has been revived and no longer depends upon one family carrying the torch

/co/mblr will likely never forget, not unless it's just one or two people passionately hating it and they end up with a heart attack at the age of 40

But I don't want it to be remembered for being progressive either, a lesbian relationship shouldn't be hailed as some sort of progressive hallmark, as a conservative I thought it was fine and enjoyed it, in fact I would say the show could be surprisingly pro status quo as it sides against several revolutions mirroring the real life political upheavals of the 19th and 20th century
