Did Korra just want to watch the world burn? With only one Lion Turtle left and not enough waterbenders to go around most of humanity is fucked.

Korra is not smart.

Turf Wars was about this. And despite being a turbo oyster munching dyke and a celebration of all homosexual, the comic didn't really did much to change the point of view of the reader regarding this issue. Human Abominations will be on the rise now, BECAUSE of Korra and as a consequence of Turf Wars.

Korra is still the worst and dumbest avatar ever.

On the topic of the avatar state, am I the only one who thought that the definition of the avatar state in TLOA (that the avatar state gives the avatar the knowledge of all his previous lifes and thats why it is powerfull) is way better than the crappy excuse of TLOK (magic 2d spirit is the reason why the avatar state is powerfull, it has nothing to do with the ability of the bender, but its just a overpowered buff)?
>>
>>95071611
TLOA had a competent Avatar that learned from his mistakes in every season. Also, he had the collective knowledge of thousands of avatars. Korra was a dumbass that didn't learn shit until the last season, she pretty much devalued the avatar state into a glorified buff.

I saw some psychic healer on YouTube talk about reincarnation. She said that your reincarnation carried a bit of your karma, and is affected by how you were as a person, in order to help your "soul" learn. So an abuser's next life would be as an abuse victim, or a homophobe would end up gay.

If that were true, what would the next Avatar be like? Would they be the opposite of Korra? Or would they carry her sins and be punished for it?

It's worse for the future Avatars when you realize with Vaatu reforming inside Raava instead of locked away in a tree, that some point in the future he's gonna burst out of the future Avatar like a chestburster and usher in conflict again.

But they didn't. You want there to be consequences because you can't swallow the fact that nothing bad came of keeping the portals open. Why is that?
>>
>>95071399
You know what I never fucking got about Korra losing her past lives? How the fuck did Unalaq manage to kick Korra's ass? Even if Vaatu and Unalaq were somehow more powerful than Korra and Raava, the Avatar state is still comprised of hundreds of experienced masters working in unison. On top of that, Korra would have access to the other 3 elements while Unalaq would have to make do with Water Bending. For all intents and purposes, the odds should be firmly stacked in Korra's favor.

Or is E;R sempai right, and Bryke just wanted to destroy any past ties to TLA, and start over with their own vision?

But then again, this is in a series in which the Avatar somehow manages to master the Avatar state after using it a grand total of once, so maybe I'm bitching about the wrong thing.

You're kind of defeating your own point. All the spirits we know of that acted against humans were still fucking with humanity while the portals were closed.
And in that case, the only thing anyone can do is just wait for the Avatar to do something.
From that perspective, opening the portals helps even the playing field, if only a little.

it's almost like the portals serve no fucking purpose whatsoever and only serve to contradict the actions and methods of past spirits and undermine the entire first season's travel from the south to north pole.

Can you be surprised? The previous water tribe avatar was a dumb fuck too. He did jack shit his whole life then something about his gf face getting stolen (this tard started the whole no romance thing) and the died or something and left a bunch of work for the next avatar to do. The only competent avatars we know of are the previous earth one, maybe bald wind bitch, and ole gas to the face fire guy
>>
>>95076818
>yet Korra's decision to not close the portals is portrayed in nothing but a positive light in-show

I feel almost the opposite. I think it is disappointing, and fairly bad writing, how little potential they've explored about the open portals. I hardly count new airbenders, because that didn't even make much sense.

>>95077256
The only thing that makes the Avatar special is a bond with a spirit (granted, a particularly powerful spirit). Open portals allows the possibility of someone else doing that. And, for a different example, Bumi learned he had the talent to pacify spirits with music. Maybe not much, but would you rather you're only other option be to pray that the Avatar comes and saves you? Cause that's where we were at with the portals closed.
>>
>>95071141
She's gay, her mental stability and moral compass is defective.
>>
>>95077336
Well I'm talking about how opening the portal to let any spirit exit and roam the physical plane freely a good thing? They get mad when the environment is destroyed and you can't do anything to spirits since they're spirits so if a spirit goes to a very far village, sees that the forest is destroyed or some shit what's stopping that spirit from slaughtering everyone there? The closed portal at the very least minimized at the very least who can exit the spirit world ( really powerful spirits) I would rather have 1 or 2 Spirit attacks in a year and ask the avatar for help rather than letting the whole population which could be millions of spirits and obviously with that amount they're not all good to come to the physical plane and just fuck shit up.
>>
>>95076998
>But they didn't
There were plenty of spirit attacks in LoK, and i'm not talking about the ones that were being controlled. Depending on what time you're talking about we can even consider ATLA.. which increase more than 5 times the number of cases.

Spirits are assholes.

>>95071141
I'm just going to pretend nothing from korra exists and move on with my day. atla is best as one series.
>>
>>95077235
>All the spirits we know of that acted against humans were still fucking with humanity while the portals were closed
The point is that spirits generally fuck with humans; what side of the portal they are doesn't change them. Why would you want more spirits if the ones you already have fuck with you?

The reason that water avatar did nothing is because Bald Wind Bitch was so ruthless and efficient about bringing peace that he had nothing to do.

True, he should have been more vigilant regardless, but in all fairness nobody really bothered to tell him he needed to be.

If you locked off other countries into alternate universes, you'd have never gotten the original Avatar cartoon you love so much. No asian influence to inspire and fuel it. No Korean animation studios to produce it..
>>
>>95077453
Until you give a suitable rebuttal. You're saying opening the portals are okay even though there will be a insane increase of spirits going to our world because some people MIGHT be able to pacify them but then aren't they good spirits from the start? What about the sinister ones that turn people in abominations and shit?
>>
>>95077336
No. What makes the avatar special is they reincarnate with the potential to master all 4 elements. With only one left alive no one can achieve the same thing. Not to mention no spirit is strong enough to fuse with them and complete the process.

It wouldn't close the gap, especially given that the spirits showed a massive hatred for humanity.

I was really excited for all the human/spirit plots that could have come up after the portals were left open.

>Human expeditions to research/cultivate/mine the spirit world (at the very least we know magic healing spirit water exists,and the vine power)
>Monks travel there for the experience
>Someone like Varrick goes there looking for business opportunities (and a place to operate outside of legal restrictions)
>Or the Avatarverse equivalent of Steve Irwin goes there to film some footage (you know you'd watch that)
>Some people even use the portals to plan shorter routes for intercontinental trips
>Border checkpoints need to be set up at each portal
>The towns nearest the portals experience growth from all the travel
>Conflicts of various sizes happen
>Some friendships happen
>People who find kinship with spirits (like Bumi), find new uses for their lives with the portals open, i.e. traveling spirit theater, or spirit whisperer
>We get one or two recurring spirit characters with a name and motivation and everything
>No really, please, I hope for this
>Spirit who wants to give up on their world and become more like a human
>Or maybe a human and spirit falling in love?
>We know that spirits can mutate people by entering them
>What if this process was consensual?

Korra was a great character that was consistent and she does grow within the series.
The problem with LoK is the plot. Not the characters.
Except Asami, how flat.
>>
>>95077495
>but then aren't they good spirits from the start?

But wait, I thought spirits we're irredeemably negative according to you. If there were such a thing as "good spirits", you wouldn't be able to argue that there are no possible upsides to travel between worlds at all, and only possibly evil results non-stop all the time. Because even if we set up a border checkpoint and only approved legal immigration for those that could offer something to humanity, none would ever pass your approval.
So what do you mean when you talk about inherently good spirits?
>>
>>95077576
>Korra was a great character that was consistent and she does grow within the series
The last thing Korra did in the series is asking a person that just had her father murdered on a date, abandoning Republic City and the Earth nation to chaos. How is that for 'growing'?
>>
>>95077580
>if we set up a border checkpoint
I don't think spirits will let that happen. Right now they want to kill anyone that gets near the portal.
>>
>>95077580
I never said all of them are evil spirits, stop putting words in my mouth. What is the upside of traveling between worlds or getting anything from the spirit world? The only time that was shown where someone did take something from the spirit world was the spirit vine thing and that was made into a WMD. I'm saying spirits don't do a lot of good for humans while they can do a lot of bad to humans, like slaughtering people and turning them into monsters. Name one good thing a spirit has done in the show besides being "friends" with humans?
>>
>>95072227

Getting to talk to Iroh. By the way,how is he so happy there if it is such an inhospitable shithole?

>I never said all of them are evil spirits, stop putting words in my mouth.
Then stop ignoring all other points and reverting to the exact same post over and over again. If you're argument were just "overall open portals are a bad idea, what do you think" you'd have ground to stand on here. But the post you are consistently making and then retreating back to is one of 100%, un-negotiable negativity. I'm not putting any words into your mouth that you aren't shoveling it full of already.

>Name one good thing a spirit has done in the show besides being "friends" with humans?
Everything the Avatar has ever done was the work a spirit. Starting with the closing of the portals in the first place, and you seem to think pretty highly of that action.

Iroh is happy because he's already a spirit? I mean can spirits even do anything to spirits? Also it was shown that there are shit spots in the spirit world, like the one with Admiral Zhao where he's being tortured for eternity. So you're admitting that closing the spirit portal in the first place was a good thing?

I guess they'd be from a family of non-benders, unaware of their bending powers until the age of 16. They'd live a nomadic life due to spirits chasing their people away from the lands they used to live in.
>>
>>95076998
They took over a large portion of RC and people had to relocate because the spirits fucked up housing and infrastucture. In the comics the spirit are violently "defending" the portal that they even asked Korra to close.
Actually in book 4 Tenzin says they might have to relocate and rebuild RC to accomodate the spirits and the spirit vines spreading from the portal.
>>
>>95077085
Well it seems like they changed how the AS works. The past lives seem to just be information now, you can contact them and get some help from their wisdom, but they have no impact on the strength of the AS anymore.

I think they did it to distance Korra from Atla. To try and symbolicly make it its own thing. There's little point in comparing Korra to past avatars if they're not around anymore to guide her. Not that she used their guidance ever.

Well the avatar can deal with spirits. But so can waterbenders like Unalaq. And i would be very surprised if similar techniques don't exist in the other nations, because lets be honest, people don't have time to wait for the Avatar to deal with spirit issues all across the world.

It's also possible that normal people could communicate with spirits if they were in-tune enough with them. Some people like Iroh did travel to the spirit world so it's not like Spirit stuff is avatars only.

Kuvira was such a massive disappointment. For a few episodes it seemed like Bryke were really going for something different, only for her to turn out to be a mix of Sozin/Azula, ending up way more bland than either (this with Sozin being a flashback character).

Sucks to be the next guy then, seeing as he'll only have Korra to look back on.

If they DID change the ruleset to make it so past lives don't matter, then that's a retcon so big that that Marvel could only dream of doing something like it themselves. You can make a weak argument for everything else working in congruency with the old canon (which it really doesn't, but hey, live and let live and whatever), but that directly defies Avatar canon. Roku literally stated that the glow symbolized all of the Avatar's past lives working in unison to not only give the Avatar incredible power, but also to give them immense skill. Actually, it's kinda funny, I don't think we've ever seen an Avatar actively bend all 4 elements symotaniously outside of the Avatar state. Roku kind've did in his flashback, but it was more pronounced with Aang's element ball. But hey, who needs all your past lives working in Unison to achieve a feat like that, when you have a spirit carpet that can magically unlock all 4 elements for you, and effectively make you go Super Saiyan.

I hate this series. So much.

>>
So next element in the cycle is earth right? I wonder how that avatar will be able to handle it all including the downgraded avatar state for advise. Might be hard to accomplish something when their only adviser says punch wind at it.
>>
>>95078732
Then why did you previously complain about there being nothing but positive portrayals of Korra's decision if you clearly know of these counter examples?
>>
>>95081673
That wasn't me. But even though these things happened the shows characters don't consider it a problem despite people doing so. Korra is actually extremely unpopular at the beginning of book 3, but it's pushed aside by Tenzins remark about it being a point of view issue.
>>
Are spirits the reason why hybrid animals are running around?
>>
Reboot this fucking abomination
>>
>>95077321
>maybe bald wind bitch
>maybe

Yeng Chen kept the balance/peace with an iron fist. All the avatars wish they could have been as successful as her

>>95081260
Is Asami a dom?
>>
>>95083890
They both are. They'll always fight over who gets to top, and just wind up falling asleep angry.

>>95080771
Humanity lived on the back of the lion turtles surrounded by freaky spirit forest full of monsters and beings that could turn them into freaks by only touching them. Remember the guy that got turned into a tree? After the first avatar clossed the portas the humans could finaly explore the world. When Korra opened the portals again the first thing that happened was that a bunch of spirit vines began taking over the city. If you consider that you could argue that the spirits would eventually take over the world the same way they did in the past.

Maybe Korra did it on purpose she saw how tecnology was catching up to bending and how soon the avatar power would be overshadowed by weapons and political power and decided to make everything simple again.
>>
>>95083966
"Re-explore", before the spirit portals were opened by Vaatu humans were just living their lives without bending.
>>
>>95077558
Yeah the spirits where assholes even before Vatuu corrupted them. In the final battle with the giant robot they just fuck off until the end and we are suppuse to belive they coming back is a good thing.
>>
>>95083709
I think that's just a quirk of the setting.
>>
>>95084045
Maybe, maybe not. Vaatu claims humans hadn't developed yet when he tore open the barrier between worlds.

Doesn't really change the fact that spirits entering the material world was an apocalyptic event, just that it might not originally have effected humans.
>>
I thought the point of Korra was that she was perpetually in over her head?
>>
>>95076826
neglect 2 of his kids in favor of the air bender
>>
I don't think it was the writers intention to portray Korra as incompetent but she certainly came off that way.
>>
>>95081260
>dat Asami
MUH. FUCKIN. DICK.
>>
>>95071141
Maybe it's just a theme? Aang had to fix Roku's mistakes. If there was another series, the next avatar would deal with Korra's shit.
>>
The next Avatar will have to avoid a war between Mankind and Spirits. Humans will be pissed at the spirits rendering their homes uninhabitable and wanting more access to spirit vines (which are found only in spiritual areas), while Spirits will be chimping out whenever a human so much as feels angry in their vicinity. Its a recipe for disaster.
>>
>>95071141
Does anyone really like Korra?
I know she's the all brawn no brains trope but it was handled so poorly that all we were left with was really just no brains.
Not to mention she was always getting her shit bashed in and almost always have to be in avatar state to get shit done.
>>
>>95085100
Not to mention how bryke turned the spitfire muscular woman into a lesbian. Which is stereotyping and racist but no one has called them out on it.
>>
>>95085159
>Brown Lesbian

That's literally a SJWs wet dream. Of course no one will talk shit about it.

I kinda want the next Avatar to be a Sandbender who didn't know he was the Avatar until much later. Like Korra's age.

He then has to travel to RC where he has to meet the previous Avatars. Korea fucked up so badly with the spirit portal that things have started to regress back to Wan's age.

Most the world is now spirit controlled, the few remaining cities are only remaining human civilization. Have a post-apocalypse type feel, where the Avatar growing up in this savage world has to manage to get things back on track with spirits & humanity.
>>
>>95085100
i did. she was very flawed and i was looking forward to her working around that or over coming them but they just piled on and on. i just want her to win a fight please
>>
>>95079477
All of the villains were.

>Amon brought to light the subject of how benders could easily subjugate the non-benders and create unequal social/economic statuses
>lol, nope! He's just another bender wanting to fulfill his daddy's dream of fucking up the world
>Unalaq seemingly wanted to fix the balance humans had with spirits
>lol, nope! I want to be the anti-Christ to your Christ!
>Anarchists claim they want to save the world from the conflict and strife that arises from uniting everyone
>Probably the only ones are true to their cause, even if it is incredibly stupid a belief to have
>>
>>95084436
It was hardly apocalyptic, it was that the spirits were overly pushy and basically made the world their own instead of having the mental capacity to share it with humans. And whenever humans tried to go about their own business, the spirits got all pissy and acted like the humans were at fault for things being the way they were.
>>
>>95076301
No point bringing up a scamfag
>>
>>95085768
They did kinda terraform the world. There was an entire forest that was almost nothing but spirits.
>>
>>95085100
I honestly love her, but feel like bryke held her back most of the time. Probably because they didn't know how to challenge her without fighting.
>>
>>95076818
It's a different fucking time. It's like saying native Americans can make USA not USA anymore. The humans are a super power now. They ain't Christopher Columbus colonies anymore

That is exactly what annoyed me the most in LoK. They keep starting with their villains having a somewhat decent motivation and thought process, only to make them go plain evil for no reason at the last second. Unalaq was the worst for it, literally went from respectfully wanting to bring real balance to the world, to next episode he's a complete monster.
>>
>>95085863
Humans can barely touch spirits in LoK. There's only one known way of dealing with them and that's spirit bending. And from what we're shown only Unalaq and Korra could do it.
>>
fuck that dyke mary sue bitch and her shitty show
>>
>>95085839
Still not really an apocalyptic situation, that would imply the world could never be saved/repaired.
>>
>>95085964
Who's to say it was? The world was permanently scarred by the portals and the swamp. With the portals at best the could plug the whole, but spirits still got through somehow. And the swamp was the spirit vine remnants.

And we don't really know how the world was before spirits came in, so it's hard to say if it was saved by Wan sending them home and closing the portals.
>>
>>95085862
I feel like they wrote themselves into a corner with her character. Everytime they try to explore her character it's always the same "Waah I'm not a good avatar! I can't be the avatar everyone wants me to be!" Then fight ensues, she horribly loses, enters avatar state and then steamroll the enemy. I can't remember any significant event where she made a good decision without any consequences, there's always something happening to someone.
>>
>>95085939
>fuck
what do you think is the thing most of us want to do with her? Hell, that's the only thing worthwhile about her after the show shit itself in season 1.
>>
>>95086076
I agree i just find it weird that they couldn't come up with a way to resolve that "being a good avatar" issue of hers and go on with some other problem. It's not like she didn't have other flaws or people out to get her.
>>
>>95085927
Not true. Spirits seem heavily tied to the physical world as well. The river spirit lost most of her power when the fire nation fucked with the river. The panda spirit gets terrorized from deforestation alone. Sozin almost banned the Avatar spirit forever along with his great/grand daughter. Moon spirit outright died completely and that was one of the spirits that's the pillar of laws of physics of the world. And that's not even mentioning anything in Korra such as Manhattan level of new technology untapping spiritual energy in the spirit version of atomic level
>>
>>95086074
They pretty much imply that spirits and humans should be together. But for some reason the spirits are sensitive as fuck to anything with emotion and thus can't be around humans for long without turning into monsters, yet even without humans around they act like they can reshape the world as they please. World was probably the same without them, just without the few changes made to some locations. The real issue is that there doesn't seem to be any governing body for the spirits to get them to not roam about so freely and actually work together with the humans.
>>
>>95081539
He was bending Suki over. That's pretty rad
>>
>>95084618
To be honest, making Aang a dead beat dad for 2/3 kids is really out of character for him. Not something he would do.
>>
>>95086203
That's only true for Atla. In LoK spirits have no connection to nature since they're just an invasive species from another dimension. We also see 3-4 benders one of them the avatar being completely helpless against one random dark spirit until Unalaq shows up.

>>95086231
Oh yeah they imply it. But they can't really justify it and actually shows us why they should stay seperate.
>>
>>95086296
Only because the spirits can't seem to stand even a little anger or sadness without wigging out, and being overly entitled because "lol, we're immortal"
>>
>>95085705
But Kuvira showed some promise. Yawnalaq and the Literally Who Gang were a lost cause from the getgo. Though Amon worked 'till his story shat itself like you said.
>>
>>95086324
Well yeah, but also because what they want seems to usually be the exact opposite of what humans want. And since they lost the "divine" authority they had in Atla there's no real reason to have them around or listen to them. Other than them threatening people with violence or getting the avatar to do it for them.
>>
>>95086346
Eh, the anarchists were fun when they appeared. What really hurt them was how they didn't have any differences. Maybe one of them wanted to sow complete chaos without any chance of the world being inhabitable once it was all over. While another might have wanted to establish the bare bones rule of "survival of the fittest". Without much to go on, they were "let's fuck shit up!" and nothing else.
>>
>>95086255
This. I get that Aang would want to preserve his heratige and make sure the Airbenders could come back, but common. He named his non-bending son after one of his best friends. They have to have SOME sentimental value to him.
>>
>>95086426
Honestly, you'd think he'd have included Bumi and Kya in the airbender traditions even if they weren't airbenders just to share the love of the culture and include them in the fun to be had.
>>
>>95086528
I can easily imagine Aang doing his marble trick in front of his kids, while they just stare blankly at him.
>>
>>95086720
>when they're really little, they like it because they're kids and easily amused
>he keeps doing it over the years and they get less and less interested
>"Come on! You used to love this!"
>>
>>95081389
I'd have loved to see the 3rd season be about Korra reuniting the past lives. Hell, they could have had the unlinked lives be part of the reason for some people becoming benders. While the whole "collectathon" angle might not sit well with some, the idea of Korra having to fix herself in a spiritual sense to reunite the lives could have been an interesting arc with the anarchists being a distraction that gets more and more hard to ignore.
>>
>>95086528
Before the genocide, all Air Nomads were Airbenders, some of the traditions might not have been possible for them.. I doubt Katara would've allowed some of the other traditions like shaving the kids heads and traveling around most of the years instead of settling in one place.
>>
>>95087484
Not like I said Aang was going to push them to be like full on nomads, just include Bumi and Kya in the fun instead of shoving them aside as he apparently did.
>>
Waterbenders are the worst and have always made the worst Avatars
>>
>>95088024
Still delicious brown, tho
