If you took off your nostalgia goggles, you'd realize that its mediocre at best, even by cartoon standards.

>>80624797
there's no nostalgia goggles, I've rewatched it recently, it is fantastic and it is a shame there isn't much similar to it being made

>>80624797

I was 30 when I first watched it a few years ago, so there are no nostalgia goggles. Liked it even more the second time.

aang finally chosing to let go of his earthly attachments in favor of the spiritual path for the sake of the greater good would have been awesome character development. it would represent him maturing and accepting his duty to the world above his personal feelings

I could go on...

Teen Titans was my shit but Avatar was a revelation. I'd never seen a cartoon like it when it premiered.

>>80623737
agreed season 3 was kino. Season 1 was pretty good too. 2 and 4 were horrible.

>>80622767
maybe you should start watching programs other than cartoons, op

>>80629397
the great divide was a 1/10 anon

>>80629998

Hating this episode is a meme I never understood. It was filler, but it was nothing worse than okay, and it had some funny parts. Nightmares & Daydreams was far worse.

>>80630071
>Nightmares & Daydreams was far worse.
amen

it had however a few zuko scenes which were its saving grace

>>80629933
4 could have been so good if they hadn't gone with the fucking energy weapon gundam shit.

Kuvira was a genuinely great character.

>>80630071
>some funny parts
you must have a tumblr level sense of humor. Even the creators said it was shit.

it's pretty clear that bryan and specially mike are hacks and aaron ehasz was who made the show good

and fuck john o'bryan

>>80630216

My main problem with the episode is that Aang tells that stupid story and it actually works.

I watched it when I was 20, it's a masterpiece

Zutara > Kataang

>>80629142
>Zuko Alone
>not 10/10
I could watch that episode over and over again and not get bored

>>80632122
Zutara would have happened if Zuko didn't betray her at the end of season 2.

>>80632415
No, zutara would have happened if the writers wanted it to and this wasnt a kids show where the main guy needs to get the girl

>>80632478
>the writers could have written the story differently
huh really makes you think

Katara didn't have a forgiving personality. Zutara wouldn't have made sense.

>>80632603
>Katara didn't have a forgiving personality

"but i didnt forgive him, i will never forgive him -"
*looks at zuko*
"-but im ready to forgive you"
*hugs*

>>80632726
forgiving someone enough to be friends with them and forgiving them enough to love are on completely different levels

Even after that she was still suspicious of Zuko on occasions.

>>80632972
>forgiving someone enough to be friends with them and forgiving them enough to love are on completely different levels
yeah, its easier to forgive a lover than a friend because to love involves a romantic spark and phisical attraction while friendship is all about trust and companionship

but seriously, you're grasping at straws, there's far better and stronger arguments against zutara than "hurr it didnt happen because katara couldnt forgive him"

>Even after that she was still suspicious of Zuko on occasions.
no she wasnt. at all

Daily reminder that the Legend of Korra shat all over the Last Airbender

I will forever be mad.

>>80622767
Zuko had best plotline.

reminder that we could have had this instead of the painted lady

reminder that koh said they would meet again but they never did

reminder that season 3 did a poor job at wrapping up the series

reminder that there should have been 4 books

Truly best character

can we all agree that katara is the worst main character?

>>80634462
That would be Toph

>>80634462
yes
she is the most unlikeable I guess, she is still a great character tho

>>80634462
I wish she had learned plant bending in the swamp

would have made the episode less fillerish and opened up a lot of cool opportunities for battles

The Avatar origin story from Korra was an abortion

>>80628904
Why does this bother you?
Pretty much all the people that archieve complete mastery of a craft at such an early age are relegated to a loveless life.
Excellence comes with a price.

Can we all agree Sokka was a bro and the highlight of the series

Zuko was average as fuck. He tried hard but had no natural talent.

>>80636663
he became great after the sun warriors stuff

>>80636954
Still not good enough to beat Azula even after her mental breakdown.

I never got what was so good about this piece of shit.

It's just a bootleg anime.

>>80637012
except he was totally beating her before she cheated by hitting katara

It's a non-canon spinoff.

The story is mediocre but the fights and animation are top notch.

>>80637804
I dont think you know what canon means.

You can ignore it and pretend it never happened (that's what I do) but it still is canon

>>80637906
TLA and Korra provably do not exist in the same canonic universe

>>80638008
maybe in your head canon

I can only think of one show that comes close to Avatar.

I still can't believe the same guys that made this ,shat out that abomination that was Korra. I could tell like 20 seconds in that it would be shit, when she burst through that wall saying, "I'm the avatar and you have to deal with it". Or something like that. Hard cringe

>>80629631
A good amount of episodes really are individual stories with their own buildup and payoff, but because the writers also used them to develope characters and shift their constellations while having them make progress toward accomplishing one objective after another on their road to saving the world it was all tied together into a cohesive narrative.

TL;DR: The writers had an expansive world and a story to tell. Not many other shows pull that combination off successfully, but when it works you get Avatar.

You sure took a lot of time to let everyone in on your shit taste.

>>80642806
I still can't believe the same guys that made this, shat out that abomination that was Korra
no, that's because aaron ehasz is the person who elevated atla to a different level while bryke had a lot more say on korra

>>80643032
you just mad that season 3's mess of a finale is being exposed for the pile of shit it is

>>80643182
>>80642806

Avatar had a TON of writers giving input, whereas Korra was much more in control of DiMartino and Konietzko. Shit, the entire first season of Korra was entirely penned by those two.

>>80643447
which in a way kind of makes me happy korra exists, even though it was shit.

otherwise people would perceive bryke as the genius responsible for making atla good which is far from true and korra proves it.
