Was this the most desperate shark jump in animated history?

>>95199271
It jumped the shark long before that.
It could have been blood blending, retconing the Avatar mythos with Raava, DARK AVATAR, or anything with Jinora.
This was just pathetic attempt to divert criticism.

>retconing the Avatar mythos with Raava

Technically it didn't retcon anything. Bending before the nations learned it from the elemental animals was awful, so you can still count bending as being learnt from them. It's like the difference between a pyrotechnic flamethrower squad, and 14 year old stoners chucking matches wrapped in toilet paper.

Besides, the Wan episodes were the best part of season 2, they were absolutely brilliant. Korra's not even the best Avatar in her show because of them.

>>95199271

The word you're looking for is 'lipstick lesbians'. These characters aren't 'queer coded', they aren't flamboyant or resilient (meaning they don't fit in with traditional views of lesbians) and yet making them a couple physically changes their character traits, as they've had no interactions other than outright dislike for the first two seasons, dull fucking up together in season 3, and a letter explaining how awful being crippled is in season 4, as it implies there must have been some prior bonding, or attraction, or any interaction off screen that could spark a romance. They were lesbians made to service a ship so frigid, the Wild Hunt is chucking albinos at it, left right and centre, so that it doesn't cause the apocalypse.

Would it have killed the character writers to actually write a character interaction?

That being said, all ships were shit. Bolin is set for life with Opal, Mako can't do shit except when he can suddenly trounce people with his amazing lightning skills that he uses once a season, and Asami is still attempting a human revolution playthrough with just the taser.

>>95199471
no it was more a "we wasted 3 years on a shitty show no one will remember in a good light, what can we do to make everyone forget about how bad it was"

>>95199901
That's still not jumping the shark. It's simply an attempt at distraction.

The moment Finn met his dad. enough said.

>>95200219
Huh, I guess that is when it jumped the shark.
That really is the exact episode after which I stopped giving a shit about Adventure Time.

>>95199704
it did because the spirit world wasn't christian in nature before that episode. Spirits also weren't random blobs. yeah his episodes on there own were good but for what it made the series into they wre the worst.

>>95200606
Not that anon, but turning the Lich into a baby is what did it for me. Getting rid of the one genuinely creepy and threatening antagonist made me realize the writers probably didn't want to touch on the darker stories I hoped they would do.

I will never not be fucking salty about Korra, Mako, and Bolin mess. Maybe because I'm a brother, but Bolin was hitting on her like there was no tomorrow, and Bolin directly told Mako he wanted to crush Korra's pussy. There was no way Korra did not know Bolin was hitting on her and had feelings for her.

For absolutely no reason Mako confesses to Korra while in a relationship and NTRs his brother. What the fuck? Bolin should've punched him, a brother unless he's an ass doesn't do that. Even I know not to hit on the girl my brother has feelings for.

That shit got under my skin.

>>95199271
This is criticism deflection not shark jumping.

>>95199271
You can't shark jump in the last 30 seconds of the show and most of the series from the very first season was shit. More like a last minute grab at relevancy.

>>95199271
Honestly, the most embarrassing thing about that whole debacle was the justification they used to pair Korra and Asami.

>When you're writing character, the characters evolve and tell you the direction they're going. This is why we paired Korra with Asami and Varrick with Zhu Li

But those two pairings aren't comparable at all. We saw Varrick and Zhu Li interact. We saw what Zhu Li would do for Varrick. We saw what Varrick would do for Zhu Li. When they would up together, it made sense. What interactions did Korra and Asami have? Like >>95199704
said, there essentially were no interactions between them. Bryan's justification of "the relationship was totally natural and not at all forced guys!" is complete bullshit.

It would be hard to include something that doesn't exist anon.

Also quite funny how i didn't see any season 2 scenes.

>>95199271
Not that moment, that's for sure. It's only jumping the shark if it sets the rest of the show after that point into a downward spiral. And even if that shot was in the middle of the show, it still wasn't that moment.

The real shark jumping moment was the introduction of the Avatar state.

>>95204865
Your analogy is borked.
Whale sharks are grazers. I'm not sure you even could jump down their throat if you tried.
And if you do, you'll likely kill the shark.

>>95199271
That's not what jumping the shark means, retard.

>>95206259
Do you think that "jumping the shark" means jumping into their mouth? You're a fucking idiot or underage. It means jumping OVER a shark, at it implies the show has gone too rediculous to be good. It comes from the show Happy Days in the 80s that had a scene where a character is water skiing and literally jumps over a shark in a stunt. The show basically sucked from precisely that moment onward.

>tfw the avatar universe is dead because of the raging hate boner the fans have for korra, a sequel that never even stood a chance of holding a candle to the orginal series in eyes of the fans.

They really should have just made something diffrent. Put the "from the creators of avatar." Sticker on it and called it a day.

>>95206435
Don't the creators hate each other now?

>>95206435
That solution is probably pretty good. To be fair though, the writers killed the avatar universe by basically killing the avatar lineage. I liked Korra, but I have to recognize that that was a definitive period at the end of Avatar's story.

>>95206435
They did this themselves. Most everyone was hyped as fuck for LoK when it startet.

>>95206516
Yeah this too. I think it comes from the fact they only planned one season. That first season did so well because the hype was so high, so Nick renewed it. They had to make up another plot quickly, it was as good because it was rushed. It kept getting renewed and they kept having to force a new unintended plotline into it, until they said fuck off to Nick and out a final end to it by killing the Avatar line.

Nigga do you know what jumping the shark means? You can't jump the shark during the finale

>>95206643
I can buy this for season 2 but they knew way in advance they were getting book 3 and 4. And while book 3 is good book 4 was a huge letdown. Even book 1 is better than book 4.

I rather think they drank the convention kool aid and wanted to appear progressive.

>>95206706
They may have had a lot more warning for book 3 and 4 than they had for book 2, but it was nowhere near a similar amount of time that they had between the end of TLA and Korra book 1.

>>95204637
Cheap bait. Here's a (You) so you don't cry tonight. Enjoy your four second of social interaction.

>>95206772
I'll never know what it's like to be so stupid you notice bait and then respond to it anyways.

>>95206745
Probably not, but they didn't start working on LoK right after Atla ended. I honestly don't know how long they had to work on book 1 LoK, but they could've asked for more time up front if they thought they needed it and they would probably have gotten it too. Either way time doesn't have much of an impact on the ideas they choose to use or their lack of character development.

>>95206815
You're missing out.

>>95206833
Ofcourse it does. But people have worked with less time and money and made way better products. And Bryke didn't think they needed more time apparently, since they consider LoK a great piece of work.

>>95206863
Well maybe so, but I would still say I think it effected the show on some level, even if it's less than I believe.

this is exactly what it was
Nick ordered a bunch of seasons before the team even had a chance to think about how to end the show
pic related details all the fuck ups by the writers but Nick also poorly advertised the show, cut funding, fucked with its timeslot, and generally pulled CN-tier antics which helped the show fail
the gay romance at the end was to save their hide and improve the show's longevity from a professional standpoint

>>95206877
Probably did, but i would put that mostly on bryke, they seemed to try and distance LoK from Atla as much as possible while still using it for cheap nostalgia points. Just never seemed like Bryke actually wanted to do it right and just phoned it in.

No one expected avatar to be as good as it was. Shit it had NO reason to be as good as what it is.

The fact that Korra couldn't take down the giant with her avatar state makes her a laughable avatar.

Seriously what the FUCK? Vaatu admitted the portals were unnatural, that he created it and unbalanced the world to destroy humans and Korra decides its a good idea to do what he wanted. And we end up seeing how spirits disrupt the lived of humans barely a few years later, not to mention the vines growing like the fucking tiberium from Command and Conquer. And Korra just expects everyone to deal with it and no one blames her for that stupid decision. Korra literally watched a movie proving humans and spirits cannot live peacefully, but for some reason she thi is everyone can live like air benders. She's just... so. fucking. stupid.

>>95199470

Yeah, it should've just ended with Borra, I mean on the 1st glance they're just right for each other... but the problem is that, once you watch the whole show, you notice that Korra is an absolutely shit character. I mean she's practically on the level of Mora Linda from Las Lindas, and that alone can tell you how bad it is.

And the little kid keeps at it. Meanwhile Korra loses once in the third season and gets poisoned with metal and goes on three year hiatus. THREE FUCKING YEARS. All the events in the last airbender last a little longer than a year.

Korra is a shit avatar. I mean she lived most of her life in the comfort of the white lotus with her parents and masters ready to train and fight her whenever she wanted. In her own, smug words, "I've always had people taking care of me."

She is such a whiny bitch, she gets shown up by a fucking eleven year old.

>>95208742
But according to Vaatu and Raava, the portals and Vaatus plans are a source of unbalance. Wan might not have managed peace, but throwing in even more players who don't like each other isn't going to help the problem at all.

>>95209463
Kuruk spent his entire career doing nothing, Kyoshi didn't do anything about the tyrant conquering the Earth Kingdom until he showed up on Her property. Wan started this bullshit by interfering in something that was none of his business. Korra is nowhere near being the worst.

>>95209491
Except each decision of theirs was based on their own phisophy. The mistakes they made reflect the flaws in their philosophy which touches on one of the major themes of the show: there is no perfect way of living your life, every philosophy is flawed
The fact the four nations always get into conflict is because conflict is natural, or at least inevitable. In fact, the major villains of the show in Korra are all people trying to force perfect balance, like equality with Amon or a governmentless, borderless word with season 3. Perfect balance is impossible, hence why the avatar is constantly reincarnated in this eternal struggle of balance and harmony and disorder and chaos.

Of course this is all thrown out the window in TLA 's shitty finale. Aang couldn't find a perfect solution because there is no perfect solution. Energy Bending was an asspull that was a big middle finger to the central themes of the show.

Korra on the other hand HAS NO PHILOSOPHY. She barely acts like a water bender. Each avatar has a personality that goes past them being the avatar. Korra has nothing if she is not the avatar. She is shallow as hell and hence why she goes into a panicked freak out in season 1 and 4 because without the avatar she is nothing.

Korea's flaws are because she is a shit character, not a flawed character

>>95209491
Your examples are pretty bad though as they're not worse than Korra. Kuruk might not have done anything, but atleast he didn't make things worse. Kyoshi made things slightly worse with the Dai Li and managed to stop Chin even if by accident. And Wan started it all, but fixed the problem as best he could and managed to repair the portal/spirit problem.

Korra on the other hand, lost the EK forever to a dictator and undid Wans repairs. It was also during her lifetime that the past avatars died off and she did nothing to attempt getting them back if it's even possible. On the other hand she did relatively little good for the world. She fixed her mistake with Vaatu but put his plans into motion anyway. She defeated two terror cells and she prevented a dictator from taking over the world (but she was partially responsible for that dictator even existing). She is mostly responsible for fixing her own fuckups and does almost nothing outside of that. And im saying this as someone who likes Korra and her show.

>>95209612
Her stupid hiatus after season 3 caused the problems in season 4. As >>95208197 said, she does it again at the end of season 4. Not to mention like others said she barely did anything in season 1 and let Amon gain power. She was playing ball while he slowly grew his movement. And she stupidly went along with the villain on season 2.

I mean fuck, even the air benders coming back had nothing to do with Korra. Couldnt they have had her go on a journey to the spirit world or something to bring back the power of the air benders something, instead the problem fixes itself.

That was dumb. But the official final nail in the coffin was Breezy. Finn growing his arm back was the definitive moment where the writers didn't have the balls to stick to any sort of narrative / storyline. Everything about that show is just an asspull and they're making it up as they go. Haven't watched a single episode since.

>>95209784
>>95209775
Asami going on a date vacation barely a few hours after the death of her father still makes no sense. Pretty sure any normal person would be insulted if someone asked them on a date right after the death of a family member.

>>95209826
Asami is barely a person so there's that. But yeah it's weird. Even a normal vacation would be a bit weird that close to the time her father died. I mean i get that she could take a vacation to grieve or something, but couldn't she wait a few weeks atleast.

>>95209812
For me it was Finn being a god and Gunter being a giant planet eating thing. The show was god tier before the relationship bullshit and all the focus on explaining the lore. Especially with the ice king. Holy shit are they milking thay cow dry

>>95209859
A one on one vacation is very weird. If anything the gang should have gone as a group with possibly people like Jinora going too.

I mean it's obvious why they wanted to shoe in that they were starting a relationship. But starting a relationship right after all that shit went down and Asami losing her father is literally crazy. Even TLA had the decency to wait until after a time skip when everything had calmed down. Asami's father's corpse was probably still warm and Korra was asking her on a date.

>>95209775
you're talking about an avatar who after watching Unaloq abuse spirits by using them to fight his wars, asked the spirits to fight her war.

>>95209931
Oh yeah, but even a solo vacation i would imagine would take place some time after Hiroshi was laid to rest. Ditching some of the Krew is just a weird choice so they could shove korrasami in there.

There's a difference here. Unaloq abused them and forced them. Korra went to ask them to help since they were freeloading when they could just stay in their world.

>>95209826

We do not know the passage of time of those scenes. All of LoK has terrible time management decisions anyway.

>>95209605
>Korra on the other hand HAS NO PHILOSOPHY.
Water benders let their emotions flow through them. Their philosophy is their heart as evident with Katara. It becomes a flaw because of her upbringing with the adults controlling her towards relying on being the Avatar. That's a flaw that they all share but it only affects Korra because she's the title character and bears the brunt of the adults' fuckups.

>>95210201
that's a really shitty analyze of the philosophy of the water tribe. Dealing with change well, adapting to new environments well, those are traits of the water tribe as Iroh said. Korra is distinctly non water tribe to the point that she uses fire, her opposite element, more than water. Why? Well because Bryke said, as is reported on the wiki, "her personality override the avatar cycle"

>>95210261
>"her personality override the avatar cycle"
I had to check the wiki to be sure you weren't fucking with me. What the hell were they thinking? Like I get it, you wanted to have a strong, unique female lead. But having her "personality" override the established rules of the universe is just... so bad

>>95209346
I kinda doubt she fucked Bolin.

>>95210261
>as is reported on the wiki
The wiki that people can change?

Iroh also said that the airbenders detached themselves from worldly concerns and had great sense of humor. Aang attached himself to Katara and had a great sense of humor, so it's not set in stone. Then he goes on to praise Aang for choosing love when they are in the caves of Ba Sing Se.

>>95206435
If they extended the first season a little and then left it at that I would have been happy. The first season has great animation and good ideas but suffers a LOT because the writers were rushed at the end and the pacing was off. Given a few more episodes it would have been fixed.

>>95206846
The writer still insists that's the best thing he's ever written. What a piss poor episode.

>>95210180
It's almost like they're two different people!
Nah, impossible, OP is so obviously correct there couldn't be more than one person disagreeing with him.

>>95210340
Did you even watch the series? Of course Aang couldn't detach himself from the world. It wad explicitly stated that Aang could not follow the teachings of the air nomads because as the avatar he was grounded to the world. (get it? grounded?) And of course Iroh praises it, he has a different view of the world, a different philosophy. In fact, he's probably the exasct opposite of the air nomads considering how much he loves the pleasures of this world (he's fat and loves tea) and is heavily involved a single person, his nephew. Losing his son made him cling incredibly strongly to the only family tie he had left, Zuko. Instead of detaching himself from the world he held on with an iron grip.

His analysis of the different aspects of the tribes was still dead on. He was shown to be so connected with his spiritual self that he was one of the few humans to enter the spirit world. And he knew the water tribe so well that the lightening reflect technique is based on not only their bending but their phisophym, using the chi in the stomach as a "vast ocean" to direct and store the lightning before releasing it

>>95210411
They should have had the next few series have Korra go on a spiritual journey as she slowly gains het bending back. Learning about the different nations and ways of life, and so showing the audience the changes since Aang's time, and growing as a person during it all.
Instead they dues ex machine that shit right back to normal.
Also remember how she couldn't air bend because of the lack of her spiritual connection? Good thing that was never explained.

>>95208250
yes actually.

>>95209425
I can't even tell what the fuck is going on in this picture. Does it have a hoof instead of a hand? Why is the other hand so small?

But thank god he worked so hard on that signature.

Yeah it's year old work, he got better at it, but.... you can't say the same for writing since the artist isn't the one creating the script, he hired 3, you heard me, THREE incompetent writers who were stuck with him and giving him bullshit to bring to life for 10 YEARS STRAIGHT.

Here's some awful writing from early chapters.

>>95208593
>>95208593
>>Aang fulfills all this during a massive war with people hunting him down
>>Korra is kept locked away in the white lotus compound during peace time
Here I was thinking the White Lotus had someone take leadership and they were trying to rule the world by doing messed up stuff like this. Subtle actions made by some cabal that's dipping its hands into many pots. But it's just bad writing.

>>95210530
>"Hey korra can't airbend."
>Oh really? But she's water tribe, isn't fire supposed to be the hard one to learn? She knows the other three.
>"It's because she lacks, almost completely, a spiritual connection."
>Wow that sounds really bad for an avatar. Kind of confused at how air is more connected to spiritual element than the other three but I guess we can let it slide. So I guess the show going to focus on this right? This will be an arc that will have her resolve this personal flaw?
>"Nope, she will not only never resolve this, but the issue will never be brought up again!"
>So she's never going to learn airbending?
>"Oh no she'll learn it, in season 1 in fact."
>But you just said she wad hindered from learning it because of the lack of a spiritual connection. How does she learn it then?
>"She learns the motions not from the airbending master or any of the airbending techniques or phisophies but because she really wants to win a pro bending sports match."
>... okay how does she learn air bending
>"After she all her bending taken away she uses it to save Mako."
>How does that let her air bend?
>"She really, really wants to save him and so it happens."
The writing is so bad it's honestly hilarious.

>>95199271
>>Built up for two seasons and they can't give overt signals because of channel.

>>95210842
You're right, anon. It's just shit. The shark jumping happened back in season 1 with such things as >>95210795.
They could at least have it so Korra is removed from the idea of being the Avatar that she is open to airbending now that her identity is free from the grounded view of just being the Avatar. Everyone that is born into the Air Nomads in the past was an airbender so there's something about that particular group besides their way of life being what Bryan and Mike circle jerk over.

>>95210795
Remember when Wan killed three guys because they were hunting to feed their village?

They were over hunting and ruining the circle of life.

How not? It happened precisely because she kept the portals open. She might not have known the specifics or planned for exactly that to happen, but she felt it would help bringing balance, especially after having contacted with Wan, and it did.

Problems arise, and will continue arising after the series, but the AN was restored and the spirit and physical world may eventually get along and help each other. Or maybe not, but keeping the portals open is far from the stupid decission that /co/ paints it to be.

>>95210842
Bryke was aware that Nickelodeon would reject their swimsuit designs for Azula and co in The Beach episode. In order to circumvent is they designed swimsuits that were much skimpier -- so Nickelodeon would reject those in favor of the former.


Bryke was also aware that Nickelodeon would find Bolin being drunk on noodles to be questionable. But they knew that Spongebob got away with that kind of thing all the time. In fact, they bragged several times how, when Nick didn't let them do something, they'd bring up a Spongebob clip showing the very thing that Nick was preventing them from doing.

In Spongebob Squarepants the show, Spongebob is shown sneaking into Squidward's bed and his shower, and saying "I love you" to Squidward while showing a lot of affection for him. Squidward and Spongebob have had plenty of eps where they develop their bond and realize that they value each other. Spongebob has uttered the words "I like you" and "I love you" to Squidward and there have been innuendo between the two. Spongebob has kissed Squidward on the cheek multiple times.

My question is, how can Bryke say "Nick stopped us!!!" when they knew from the get go how Nick works and managed to work their way around the channel rules by preparing in advance during other similar situations? They put so much effort into getting Bolin's noodles in and the swimsuits in TLA on air but other than that they "assume" Nick wouldn't let them put in any gay when Spongebob is pretty much one of the gayest shows on TV? So rather than putting in any sort of interaction between Korra and Asami and then preparing Sponge/Squid clips in advance to prove their point, they decided to literally put a random moment last second? There's a reason why most casual watchers just went "huh?" when LOK ended. They had no idea what they just saw because there was absolutely no evidence, and yet Bryke blames Nick for this lack of evidence even though they didn't ask beforehand, and didn't bother trying.

>>95210935
Remember when we learned the epic legend of the first avatar included him being named stinky or some stupid

>>95199339
pretty much my first thougt when I saw it. I said to myself "well people won´t be talking about the stupid mech anymore"

>>95211225
don't forget that one of the last episodes was still an episode centering primarily on Korra and Mako.

I don't understand why they didn't use Asami instead but Bryke still seemed more interested in exploring Korra and Mako's "platonic" relationship.

>>95211087
>They were over hunting and ruining the circle of life.

HAH! Yes, over hunting and breaking the cricel in a world where the only safe place for humans to live is a giant turtle, while everything else is a free game.

Oh yeah and Wan is a lazy layabout who just wanted everything handed to him instead of working to earn food. I mean we're not shown that nobody wants to give him work.

>>95211149
>How not? It happened precisely because she kept the portals open
Wait really? When did they figure that out?

>>95211309
they didn't, they just assumed that's what was causing it

>>95211309
Nothing formal was said. They're going off the information that airbending is the most spiritual and now that the spirit world is once again connected to the mortal world that spiritual stuff can be reborn again.

>>95211504

Now that I think about it in universe it doesn´t make sence that the portals gave powers to random people since the Lionturtles where the ones that gave bending not the spirits.

>>95199271
The funny thing is the joke about sitcom adding a baby as a shark jumping moment was already old when Hartman did it yet they decided to do it anyway.

>>95211515
Every person born into the air nomad lifestyle was an airbender. Not every person in the water tribe was a waterbender. We even see the air tribe hanging out with spirits.

>>95211603
You're making a pretty big assumption, where did we learn that? All we have is Aang's flashbacks

>>95207289
yeah but that was funny at least.

Suddenly Airbenders Everywhere! was a shittier twist than Korra getting all her bending back after losing it

>>95211635
>where did we learn that?
Same place where we learned that Mako and Korra are made for each other and then later on that Korra and Asami were leading up to a romantic relationship built on camaraderie: Bryke commentary. For this revelation about airbending, that was back in the AtLA commentary though. Ehasz said it was okay, don't bother him about it.

>>95211698

listening to them explain how Korra was able to airbend after Amon removed her bending was painful

I don't understand this logic. Of course people are still mad at something being terrible. It hasn't stopped being terrible.

>>95212047
people love to act like the outrage isn't justified and so still being upset at the ending is them still being "triggered"

>>95211149
We have no idea what caused airbending to return. It could just aswell have been Harmonic convergance which Korra had no control over.

>>95212079
See imagine if they wrote the backstory that the initial harmonic convergence granted bending powers. Then that would make sense. Instead it's just the lion turtles giving out powers for fuck all reasons

>>95212110
Yeah sure, but people also didn't spontainously get bending when the portals were created. They didn't get them from spirits either so unless a lion turtle snuck around RC and the world in the span of 2 weeks and grant people bending we have no explanation for the rise of airbenders. And even if a lion turtle did it, Korra wasn't involved in that.

>>95212170

No they weren't. Wan is a terrible character and it was a retarded plot that drove these episodes. You only liked them because of the change in animation to match "anime is garbage" man.

The biggest issue was the retconning that they had done to the Avatar Spirit. Both Roku and Yangchen were made out to be fucking liars because they never told the Aang the truth, but told Korra everything.
Fuck Bryke and fuck you.
