I'd say finish S1 if you're watching it for Lin, since it does go to some really cool places with her. After that, S2 doesn't have a lot of her and what little there is is quite incompetent; S3 expands on her backstory a fair bit but it's likely it'll piss you off; and S4 has a bunch of cool action bits and not a lot of development to get in the way so it's overall pretty good.

She gets cucked by an air groupie. Spends most her life alone & bitter. That's why we ship Mako x Lin, she's his domineering but soft on the inside boss. Their secret but not so secret romance, makes everyone jealous.

Its why Korra started making out with Asami. She's not really bisexual, she just wants Mako's attention.

So I should just do S1 and S4? I heard there's a new villain every season anyway so I won't be completely lost if I skip, right? Not like I really give a fuck about Korra's story.

>>94953735
No. The show is pure torture and I regret watching it to the end.

Pretty much. You can look up the missing seasons' plots on wiki and such, though I would recommend watching at least the Lin eps in S3, if only for the flashbacks/backstory (and more delicious Lin in a tanktop).

Lin should've just joined up with Kuvira and headed her blue shirts (or green shirts I guess). At least Kuvira probably would've appreciated her.

>>94953735
Lets face it we all would've loved it if at the end Lin ended up with Mako.

What does this mean exactly? Is it because she does some wrong things, or because the story telling is just shit?

It gets worse until the end of season two, then it slowly gets better until peaking in mid season 3.

Season 4 is okay, about as good as the first season, the animation is bad though.

We get to meet her sister, find out how she got her scar and there's a lot of backstory drama and unsolved family issues. It only lasts like two-three episodes before it's all wrapped up with a bow, but it really depends on how well you can digest family drama. Personally I just found it all bit meh and half-baked.

>>94955352
>>94955406
Well, guess I'll still watch it for Lin. Korra fucked up ATLA story anyway.

So that's S1, any episode of Lin in S3, and then s4?

Pretty much, yeah. S3 as a whole is quite good so I'd say just go ahead and watch it, but nothing wrong with just catching the Lin eps.

>>94954248
You should really watch season 3. It's the best the show gets

Her sister runs a giant isolationist metal commune and was a bitch criminal as a kid. She wad the one who slashed Lin's face and Toph covered it up and forced Lin to drop it. Then Toph left town and lived alone in the woods for the rest of her life.

We are supposed to sympathize with Suyin and believe that Lin is bad for holding a grudge against her for slashing her face and spitting in the face of justice, and Lin apologizes to her.

It is bad.

Pic related. Why the fuck do good characters have to get shat on? Fuck man. Now I probably won't bother watching it.

>>94956356
>probably
You should not bother watching it.
The idea they were going with is forgive others to help you move on and heal. Several character go through this type of thing: Tenzin, Korra, Lin, and Asami. And the writers mess it up with all of them in various ways.

>>94956356
No, that's a pretty balanced and accurate description.

>>94956356
Oh yeah and Tenzin's wife was his student when he used to date Lin. His wife wooed Tenzin and got him to dump Lin. This is treated as a good thing and she later trains Korra to break up relationships in the same way.

Toph is the true villain of LoK.

She enabled Suyin's (Lin's EVIL sister, who is both directly and indirectly responsible for everything bad in the final season) selfish behavior, and basically shits on Lin for upholding the rule of law.

And then Toph abandoned Lin to live in the woods like a hermit for the next many decades. 10/10 parenting

I didn't think of this before, but time-wise, that's halfway between AtLA and LoK, right? And yet they're using the exact same tech as in LoK. Did they advance from "ancient China" to 1920's in 35 years and then stay in the 1920's for the following 35 years?

The only good thing about Korra is porn.

>>94960284
They really shit the bed with the time jump bullshit

Year 100 (AtLA series finale)
Year 174 (Series finale, season 4 end)

Throughout the series characters allude to all of the interesting shit that happened over the past 74 years that the audience barely, if ever, gets to see. Mafia? Blood Magic? Satanic oaths to demons in the Northern Water Tribe? Piracy, raiders? The Red Lotus?

All of the interesting stuff happens and concludes long before Korra is even born, and the writers never choose to focus on it. All great conflicts LoK had were the Equalists (which were swept under the rug hard post S1 and never mentioned again) and the collapse of the Earth Kingdom, which was largely ignored due to the 3 year timeskip between S3 and S4.

Tl;Dr, LoK is the Legend of Missed Opportunities and Bad Writing

>>94958366
>Oh yeah and Tenzin's wife was his student when he used to date Lin.

Don't watch the show. Just make up whatever headcanon you want, but don't watch the show. It will only leave you bitter and angry.

Season 3 is the best of the show, and it's pretty required for season 4.

The only problem is in its handling of Lin.
It's really not THAT bad, but it does involve one of the worst characters of the series.

At least one of the show's designers has excellent taste.

You're probably better off not watching it.
She barely even gets good showings in fights.

Suyin has been pretty hated since we learned her backstory, and it only got worse in season 4.
This can't possibly be news to you.

it seems some of you retards forgot to add that Toph was super stressed at her job for years then she retired

His insignia seem to indicate that he's a corporal. While it could certainly be the case that their rank system is different from any found on earth, it would be an odd choice to use real-world symbols and completely change their meaning.

Corporal's back in the day of old armies was basically a NCO and experienced soldier who assist the sergeant..

Bolin despite rank was part of Kuvira's inner-circle and high ranking officer-official, he even served as her personal diplomat to Zhao fu.

>>94965290
>Bolin never got shat on.
His brother shat on him for staying with Kuvira after she became full dictator. He shat on him when he decided to hang around Varrick and knew he was doing something shady. He got shat on when his brother NTR'd Korra from him after Bolin explicitly tells Mako he was in love with Korra and Mako was in a relationship with Asami.

>>94965503
you should do it but with the AtLA / younger Korra cast
or just Korra, that works too

>>94966433
Nah, the plan was to add a few more mature ladies from LoK
