What made this show so good,/tv/? Why were the movie and

>>84286211
I can't help you if you think that Legend of Korra was shit. We could've had a great discussion about both series' themes, plots, aesthetic appeals and characterization, but if you don't recognize that both are good in different ways, then it just can't happen.

>>84286293
LoK just didn't appeal to me as much as the original show,anon.

>>84286211
The finale was perfect

I always thought it was how hard they worked to make the characters act like normal people, only as much story directing their actions as was necessary, like a tabletop game almost
They would just say shit sometimes even though it wasn't "funny" or noble or even really relevant because it was just part of a conversation about something that actually was important, like actual interactions, complete opposite of most cartoonshit and animu
that's my thought

>Season 1 villain is a totalitarian
>Season 2 villain is a fanatic
>Season 3 villain is an anarchist/communist
>Season 4 villain is a nationalist
What did they mean by this?

LOK wasn't shit, Korra my waifu

>>84286293
>that both are good in different ways
well desu that's the main problem
they're thematically inconsistent, not just different but actually opposed.

Now I'll be honest I only watched like half of the first season on Korra, but really that's enough.

I understand not wanting the show to be a rehash of the original show, so having her learn the four elements like Aang wasn't what they wanted, but having little babby Korra throwing fireballs around was obnoxious and insulting.

Instead of having to earn and struggle for achievement Korra just gets to shortcut it all.

This also meant that the only conflict in the show was highschool drama soap opera bullshit.


I have heard that the show improves a lot, so maybe these first few episodes are a bad representative of the show as a whole, but honestly I can't bring myself to sit through it.

The third season is the best, but the second season is so unbelievably godawful that you probably dodged a bullet. All four seasons start with an interesting premise and then squander it horribly.

Not really, Korra is still jobbing throughout the show and her friends continue to get random buffs, the only improvement was they dropped the romantic subplot between Korra and her gary sue boyfriend.

That doesn't help that much but it's something.

Did they get rid of that shit bending game they play?

the shit with Zaheer and "enter the void" was fucking epic.

>>84287533
pro bending is completely gone by the end of the first season

>>84287506
I don't agree. It reminded me of xmen 3 where they take people's powers away and make everyone boring.

>>84287552
This. Zaheer was one hell of a villain. It was very easy to empathize with him.

>>84287506
Every season of the show has a different arc. There's always a new villain. You cant skip seasons though because there are important overarching elements. I believe the general consensus is 3 > 1 > 4 > 2 with 4 and 1 switching places occasionally.
The show is worth revisiting imo.

>>84287693
yeah this is an accurate statement.

>>84287693
Season 1 is the second best Lok season there is? If that was almost their A game, the show was still born.

What the fuck was her problem?

>>84287211
She doesn't really shortcut it, they just skip over it. It's implied that she's spent like a decade mastering fire, water, and earth bending, and then a large part first season is the difficulty she has airbending and mastering the spiritual aspects of being the avatar.

>>84286211
Based Filoni had nothing to do with Korra.

>>84288052
I maintain that watching Azula in Avatar as a young pubescent boy was singlehandedly responsible for my femdom fetish as an adult. All I want is to be her slave

>>84288084
Filoni was a director on ATLA who had no input on story or writing. The name you're looking for is Aaron Ehasz, Mike & Bryan's head writer on ATLA and the only person who did not return for Korra.

>>84288052
Azula's problem is that her heels are not currently digging into my balls

I always found the concept of avatar to be retarded, what benefits were there from using all four elements? All both aang and kora constantly got their asses kicked by high level single element users.

>>84288262

Agreed but everything else was pure kino, especially the set pieces.

>>84286211

tla > lok simply because the seasons were longer and a lot more slower.

the issue with lok is that so much shit gets crammed into so few episodes that character development gets lost along the way. it gets a bit jarring when things change so quickly because they have to

in tla, it's a practically a whole season to travel to ba sing se and the remainder of the season is spent exploring the city. in lok, they hop between so many locations so frequently that you never really feel immersed. i found that lok season 1 was my favorite purely because it was spent in republic city and that aspect of the show was nurtured.

my biggest gripe with lok is korra and the shitty highschool relationships. korra never seems to learn a single thing and starts out as a headstrong retard, goes through some phase of self doubt/feeling sorry for herself and then grows into more of a headstrong retard. contrast that with aang who frequently battles with self doubt and fears yet he comes out on top in the end. it's really hard to enjoy a show when the protagonist keeps making the same mistakes

>>84287552

zaheer was by the far the best character of the show. i loved the scene when he leads korra to the spirit world. it's a shame that he unlocks the ability to fly but then no one seems to care

Aang's problem is that he's young and untrained. A level 1 avatar is going to have trouble with a level 12 fire bender. Korra's problem is that the writing sucked. It should've been about a powerful young adult avatar facing an increasingly complex world where she can't solve every problem by punching things.

>>84288358
I dunno about Korra because I didn't watch the whole series, but Aang was probably the most powerful bender in the world even without the Avatar state by the end of the show. He was at least keeping up with Ozai, either the first or the second strongest Firebender in the world, while his strength was greatly amplified by Sozin's Comet. Before that, I think only Azula managed to beat him fairly, and he scored a close victory over her when they fought on that huge drill.

>>84288635
Narratively it's filler, it just happens that all of the ATLA episodes are its filler episodes.

I never got this criticism. Throughout LOK Korra becomes much more level headed and calm while throughout TLA Aang keeps his childish happy go lucky attitude and never has to face the consequences of it because of convenient plot twists.

Extremes are bad, that's it. Each villain are extremes of an aspect of the Avatar.
The Avatar is supposed to be the champion of everyone, benders and non-benders alike, equally. Yet the S1 villain goes overboard with the "equality" part and wants to wipe out benders.
The Avatar is supposed to be the mediator between the material world and the spirit realm, the bridge between them. The S2 villain wanted to wipe out the material realm and replace it with the spirit realm.
The Avatar is supposed the be the hero of freedom, fighting oppression and upholding liberty. The S3 villain wanted to destroy any authority figure and plunge the world in a maelstrom of chaos and anarchy.
The Avatar is also supposed to uphold order and balance in the world. The S4 villain wanted to rule the world in an iron fist.
All of this to show that the Avatar is the one who must uphold BALANCE. It is easy for mortals to fall into extremes since they lack the wisdom that an Avatar has.

Also, S1 villain is a spiritual hating communist, relying on science and reason over spirituality. S2 villain is the exact opposite where he's a religious fanatic who detests scientific advancement.

S3 villain is an anarchic freedom fighter who toppled the world order. S4 was the exact opposite who would squash any freedom in order to uphold order in a chaotic world.

All of this were told with the First Avatar episodes, where he tried (and failed) to uphold balance between his ideals.

Season 2 and the conclusion to the final Season was poor, I thoroughly enjoyed the rest of LoK

I felt like they were heading in the direction of making an actual point regarding the shortcomings of monarchist rule and the arbitrary geopolitical separation of people belonging to the same ethnic/cultural and thus portraying Kuvira as ruthless yet well meaning character. But then they threw it out of the window by just making her into a literal Hitler destructive maniac over the course of 2 episodes in order to give the writers a simple good vs evil conclusion

maybe the theme that went over your head is how easy it is to shift from well-meaning nationalist into a destructive maniac. Also that its easy for destructive maniacs to use nationalism as a means to be said destructive maniac, or that most nationalists in history have merely used that as a means for conquest by uniting a group of people by giving them a common enemy.

Really made me open my borders, of course the liberal writers couldn't be bothered coming up with a more compelling conclusion. Being a tyrant isn't limited to nationalist ideologies but rather just a product of absolute power. If neither Kuvira nor the useless shit king ended up in power then that would've been fine too

>>84286211
Sequels were shit because they took all the shallow aspects of the original, like the slapstick, romance and wackiness, and amplified them, while downplaying the good parts, such as the character development, martial arts, spirituality and meaningful conflict.

>>84289322
although he was a Zutara and had many other ideas in how to end it which would ruin the entire series, at least he knew how to make the characters likeable

>>84287211
That was the point though, every avatar was different and aang really had to read up to learn everything because he lacked natural talent in a lot of things. Korra was naturally talented but the show makes no gripes about how vapid she was.

Aang had an immensly powerful avatar state and could wield all elements at once, korra just saw an increase in her power.

You see it all the time in real life, I know most of us don't dwell there but you have people who are naturally talented and just coast, and ultimately end up weaker than the people who work harder.

>>84286211
What's frustrating is that Korra was designed to be Aang's opposite, but ended up being a more retarded and immature version of him

Why did the execution have to be so bad? I get what they were going for and it honestly it was ambitious but they just can't handle writing.

For instance, what was S2 bad religion dude's motivation for becoming satan and what not?

>>84291289
his motivation was he wanted to be a "dark avatar"

>>84289344
the first avatar episodes told a wrong story which didn't make sense in how people fought each other just after spirits departed, leaving out questions like how the cycle was made and how the nations were divided.
Would've been better if it was taken place where humans were cornered by spirits, Wan volunteers to be one of the few who went out to fight discarding the lion turtles giving the elements. In that battle Wan cowardly runs away, gets lost and passes out, wakes up in front of a dragon, befriends it and started to get each other along having the dragon defend Wan using fire making Wan wishing to learn to throw fire giving the opportunity to show how benders used to learn to bend with the original masters.
Later Wan travels around learning the other elements while traveling with the masters and then everytime he encounters a town of people hiding from spirits, he teaches them one element depending on which one could be useful for them leaving the master to keep them teaching them for future generations and that would hint at how the cycle is formed, first fire, then air, followed by water and lastly earth.
Mastering all 4 elements he confronts the spirits, enters the avatar spirit for the first time in a life or death situation and send them back to their world.
Years later humans already bending elements would start to grow their villages into countries and have them fighting for territory with each other so now the Avatar steps in to stop their fights and teach them about balance putting end to wars and whatever else the avatar does

i feel like the only person who thought season 3 of korra was pretty much as good as a season of legend of aang.

>>84291052
Pretty much this.

A huge problem with the show is that the teenagers of Korra are somehow more immature and useless than the kids in Avatar. They could have potentially made this into an interesting premise, but instead it's just really obnoxious and tedious to watch.

I don't know why people always bitch about the Korra ending. I realize this is a foreign concept for most of you, but asking a girl on a date is usually a spur of the moment thing, not something that requires four seasons of buildup. The ATLA ending was different because Aang and Katara were in love after three seasons of buildup. Korra's ending is just a girl asking someone out, it's not supposed to be some earth-shattering plot twist.

LoK was a lot worse writing wise, but I'll defend the fights and the soundtrack.

It's a different style of fighting, but choreography wise it's just as good.

>>84291644
One problem is that the kids in ATLA were hyper competent for their age so the teens in LoK seem a lot shittier in comparison.

>>84291581
Lots of people think that, 4chan (/co/ especially) just has a massive hateboner for Korra.

>>84291669
because it was thrown there, the entire series of LoK never hinted these two getting this sort of attraction, as friends I do believe because after Asami disappearing fro a good while makes her appearance and now Korra is in love with her. Is not realistic, I don't buy the idea that these two who dated the same guy, had a rivalry were able to give birth to a love between each other. When she asked Asami i saw it as being a friendly invitation since is her only girl friend around the same, her holding hand before entering is a clear sign of fear from Asami and Korra's way to tell her everything is ok but then they stare at each other is if it was a marriage which was stupid

The characters were well written and fleshed out. Most character's (Zuko and Iroh's specifically) development was completely on point.

The world was built on real world philosophy and history. The cultures and personalities of each nation were rooted in their respective element. The martial arts of each element were based on real-world styles. Tai Chi is about the flow of energy(water), Northern Shaolin is based on extending the body and long, aggressive techniques that explode and drive through the opponent.(fire), Hung Gar is about being grounded with a strong stance and standing your guard(Earth), and Ba Gua Zhang is about being able to move and change direction without pausing(air).


I honestly think the first series did what people like about Harry Potter better than Harry Potter. It masterfully showed that there were good and bad guys on every side. It had great lessons for the kids and great philosophies for the adults. And the story was pretty original.

Not to mention the animation was fantastic.

>Aang couldn't procreate enough airbenders with Katara
>Only had one water bender, one airbender and a non bender
>Tenzin is making her wife to pump kids and his seeds are so superior all of them are born talented airbenders

It would've been great for Tenzin to have more than one wife if his intention was to increase the population of airbenders, having one wife wouldn't help him reach his goal. It seems like his best bet is to get women descendant from earthbenders since his wife has green eyes and is a common trait of earthbenders and children of earthbenders

Not to mention it's hardly even a lesbian thing. It's just two girls holding hands, which is perfectly normal for friends.

Any shows similar to ATLA?

NOT Korra though

>>84292337
i really wouldn't be bothered for Korra to be a lesbo if she had a good writing and was better developed but she didn't and pisses me off how people simply take it because "hurr fuck you bigots", they will eat up anything just by throwing that virtual signal these and ignore if the show was good or badly written.
Glad that avatars don't have to be from the same tree or else she would've killed the avatar lineage permanently since she allowed all the past ones to disappear

>>84292588
>Not to mention it's hardly even a lesbian thing
The creators themselves will strongly disagree with you, cuck.

>>84286293
Korra was awful. Let's outline some of why!
- The technology makes no sense and is poorly integrated into the world. In the original show, they had trains that were powered by earth benders. That made sense, because it's a logical extrapolation that the people in the show might make: why power a train with electricity when you could power it with earthbending, like they traditionally do? And yet in Korra, electricity, electricity, electricity! Everything is powered with inefficient electricity transfer systems that no one in the world would ever have come up with, instead of water, earth, or firebending that people in the world would actually use for travel.
- Speaking of, why are there so many lightning benders? The first show makes a huge point out of it being EXTREMELY dangerous to do, and only masters of the art of firebending being capable of doing it. It's easy to roast yourself if you're not careful, and it requires immense concentration. And yet every Joe Schmo working in the factories for shit pay is a lightning bender just pumping generators full of electricity. This directly contradicts EVERYTHING set up in the first show about bending lightning.
- Korra was massive fucking Mary Sue. Aang spent years mastering air bending and was considered a master air bender, a prodigy and a genius when it comes to bending. Despite that, it takes him many months of intense, daily training to become merely proficient in another one of the bending techniques, and he never fully masters earth bending because he sucks at it so much.. And he's only able to do it that fast because he's under immense pressure to finish before the comet returns, as the other avatars before him tell him that it should take him years and years normally.
Korra has mastered every single one except for air by the time she's 4. Without rigorous training. And then masters air in less than half a year. Without any real pressure on her whatsoever. Watface.jpg.

Continued!
- Remember how the first avatar had a lot of spiritual stuff in it? Remember how that was very important for the plot, and was how the avatar got his powers in the first place? Remember how the avatar's main job was to keep the peace between the spiritual world of ghosts, demons, gods, and spirits and the mortal world? Because the writers of Legend of Korra apparently don't. Only by the very end of the show do they start to add in some of that spirituality stuff, and even then only brush the surface. For the most part, it is entirely glossed over for real world issues instead.
- Bloodbending. It's only possible during the moon. Except now it isn't. Because apparently the moon and sun no longer change the power of the fire and water benders, despite that being a central plot point of the original series.
- Fanservice. Did you like General Iroh being voiced by the same person who did Zuko? Because all the fujoshits did! Did you like the progressive lesbian romance out of fucking nowhere? Because tumblr did! Does it make a lick of sense, given both the characters who were """lesbians""" both were very interested in men and pursued them heavily beforehand? Nope! Does that matter? Apparently not, because lesbians!

>>84292410
>>84292588
Avatar ended years ago yet it's rewatched again and again and again. Korra doesn't and will never have that. They killed it.

>>84292588
And to answer your question, you moron, the thing about you lefties is how loud you virtue signal. The makers literal told the presses what they did and wanted everyone to pat them on the back for being so clever and it blew up in their faces. And then they complained and called everyone bigots. It's like those assholes at marvel comics who spat on the cis straight white male scum, who were their only comic buyers. The tumblerinas and feminist and fags didn't even buy their comics. So one after the other the books failed. One book had less than five thousand units sold.

Another only sold a few hundred. It was glorious.

>>84292642
I don't want faggots in my kids programming. That's the problem now, they're allowed to spam normalcy with their irregularities but no one's allowed to spam their degeneracy with conservative Christian values. Either it goes two ways or no way.

The series was shit but re-watchable. That fag shit just killed all of it, including the classic show. People are forgiving and tolerant when you're about doing you, but when when these people start making incursions into the home of people and begin to infect their children, that's a line one shouldn't cross.
As a mother said, her daughter's too young to ask her what a lesbian is. She wants her daughter to be old enough to make a choice as to where she wants to be and not have some one indoctrinate her with shit before she's old enough to understand the implication of her choices.

Did Korra retroactively made TLA worse?

>>84292337
anon i'm pretty sure the last season of korra was only aired online. nick has hated the avatar series for a long time because it doesn't give them merchandising money the way spongebob does. they fluffed the first season of korra by reducing the number of episodes in a season down to just over 10. i feel like fan pressure was the main reason why they even bothered finishing it. we will never see another spinoff in the avatar universe again, feels bad man. i heard the comics of legend of aang are good though

>>84292854
- Why do the non-benders hate the benders? They say in the show its because the benders are oppressing the non-benders...except there's no proof of this... and the only oppressing group in the story is the equalists.... and the benders are often quite poor and work shit jobs (see the master-class fire benders working for shit pay pumping lightning in factories). So the entire conceit of the first season makes no goddamn sense.
- More fanservice! Hey, did you like the first series? Great! Have some Toph out of nowhere! Does it make sense? No, but fuck you for asking questions, enjoy the fanservice!
- Remember how AAng was super humble and was based on the Dalai Lama, a pacifist and very humble man who fervently wishes not to be worshiped as a god? Well, the writers of Korra forgot that, too! Have a massive fucking statue of Aang in the middle of the city (that remember, he would have had to approve of. I guess he isn't so humble, huh?) and all the hero worship--as well as literal worship!--of him throughout the lands.

but anon the second season was called 'spirits' and was all about how the balance between the real world and the spirit world was askew. there was even a two parter about the first avatar and how he led humans out of the spirit world and into the real world.

Why did Nickelodeon hate Avatar so much? I remember they aired the first half of season three from October to thanksgiving. Then leaked an episode. Then released a dvd in April the featured two episodes they hadn't aired yet. And then they just said fuck it and aired the rest of the show over one week concluding with the last four episodes as a movie event.


And they didn't treat Korra any better. The last two seasons weren't even aired on tv, if memory serves.

wtf was their problem?

>>84292953
I know a lot of conservatives, not a one supports this kind of shit. Not a one. You're either a leftie, an independent, a progressive or all of the above.
Remember I do when Will and Grace was all the rage and of how people at the office would go on about how awesome it was and some fool would ask me and I'd respond with, "I don't watch shit." And they'd respond with, "You have a problem with gay people?" And I responded with, "I hope we're not making an issue of this, are we? We'd better not. I'm here to work, as are you, you keep to yourself and I'll do the same and the only time we should ever speak is when it concerns work. Other than that. Keep that shit to yourself." Like a fucking boss. And you know what, they thought they were lefties, progressives and Independents. But I knew they were just nosy annoying cunts who talked too much.

How did Nickelodeon get away with this?

Their argument is the scene is shit because it's obviously just there to pander to a certain group of people and not there to bring any weight or nuance to the material. Not hard to understand.

>>84293144
It was a different time

>>84286211

I didn't watch it until years after it aired but it felt contained which is what any cartoon/anime/show should do.

You have a narrative that you want and a goal of how to do it. It's tone was fairly consistent but it had some comedic moments.

It really was quite good for cartoon. I liked the anime artstyle too.

>>84292665
I agreed, the technology was only beneficial to non benders which makes me wonder what are they complaining about? They proven to be better for not relying on the powers of the element and create stuff that benders never thought it would be possible. It seems like republic city was made for the non benders because the technology is so great you don't need elements anymore. Let's ignore how much they advance compared to First Avatar and ATLA time gap.
Lightning benders was for those who mastered fire bending so having everyone do it in LoK really kills the purpose of why so few were able to do it in ATLA, it wasn't because it was new but because not everyone was an expert of firebending, not even Aang was able to reach that level not even in the avatar state.
Although Aang didn't really master earthbending, i remember in one episode Toph point out that he learned the basics but never continue training because he started training for firebending so Aang went to fight not fully mastering all 4 element except for Air.
And then there was metalbending which apparently those who fully do it forgot how to earthbend, although some will say it was exclusively to Toph's blindness and I disagree because Toph learn why metalbending is possible. And it was nice that they throw how not every metal can be bend because even if its called metalbending it is still earthbending, which makes me wonder why calling it metalbending if you can't bend all the metals unless they have earth element in it.
Then there is lavabending which i don't understand why they added that because is now two elements (fire and earth) which means those who share genes with a firebender (ex. being relatives like Mako and Bolin) can do it, which means that firebenders can also lavabend? Because if that's the case then firebenders and Earthbenders are too OP

Since lavabend exist, what other fusion elements can be explored?

>>84291573
remember that the waterbender master was the moon, not an animal.

>>84293113

All I said was I didn't see two girls holding hands as anything lesbian, and I'm not aware of the creators saying they certainly are. That doesn't automatically mean I'm on a certain side of politics. My political views are mostly on the right side.

Nick has been ass backward retarded ever since what I can best guess is more than half their talent moved to Cartoon Network during the early 2000s. They never recovered after that and have, quite literally, road on Spongebob Squarepants every since.

ICarly was a surprise hit with teens but beyond that they have just really been bottom barrel. I don't know if it's their decision making or risk taking that's taken them down this path but it's just really weak shit for basically going on nearly 20 years now.

I dropped LOK in season 1 when they built up such a great mysterious villain (guy with the mask. I cant remember his name its been awhile)

the ending of season 1 was so much wasted potential and such an ass pull.

However I've heard multiple times that season 3 was great and has one of the franchises best villains.

Is this true bros?

>>84294151
> Wan was such a better protagonist
I found him to be a totally evil and unsympathetic. Just watch how he kills a bunch of guys for trying to hunt for food, or how he just impulsively reacts to everything by blowing it away with fire.

>Seeing someone that fucked up and tried to improve themselves
In the end, he didn't do anything to make the world a better place. He separated humans from spirits, but wasn't able to stop humans from murdering the shit out of each other.

>rather than having the world cater to him
You're right. All he had to do was just ask the lion turtles for bending powers and boom, he's a master in all 4 elements.

>>84294170
>>84294238
>>84294247
I'm fairly sure the one guy at the end was supposed to be the only one animating the rock, but Shamalangalingdong was too incompetent to show what the dancing Benders were actually doing

>>84294276
yes. Skip the awful Season 2 and watch season 3.

It's great the whole way through. Season 4 is serviceable, just don't set your expectations too high

>>84294276
season 3 villain is good but had an asspull power which kills his seriousness

>>84294117
Thay literally only applies to WW2, the only war that was defined to have objectively good and evil sides for political reasons.

>>84294284
i know, but is still hilarious how people thought it was that way the first time but still, compared to the series, earthbenders were more faster when gliding the rocks to shoot them, everything was all about impact and instantaneous but these ones sure love to take their time

>>84294276
>However I've heard multiple times that season 3 was great and has one of the franchises best villains.
When people say that S3 was the best, what they really mean was that it was inoffensive compared to the other seasons.

Book 1 was a massive disappointment and one of the worst instances of wasted potential in the history of TV animation.
Book 2 raped, chewed up, and spat out the wonderful lore of the original series and retconned everything to hell and back. The Avatar series unrecognizable anymore after those atrocious Avatar Wan episodes.
And Book 4 was one of the most cynical and sleazy attempts at virtue-signaling out there.

Book 3, for all of its problems, was the least shitty, but that's not saying much.
The villain is a bit overrated. He just waxes philosophical and has some cliche but workable dialogue, but none of his views appear to make much logical sense in the context of the world of Avatar. He's just a textbook anarchist like Bane from TDKR.

>>84294276
Doesn't matter what season you watch because Korra is a shit character who doesn't develop or learn from her mistakes apart from wallow in her own failures as the worst Avatar in history.

>>84294284
The problem is that in the shows, the elements move in sync with the bender's arm and leg movements, which creates the cool, dazzling effects. In the movie, characters just wave their limbs around and the elements just hover in front of them. I don't know if this was an intentional design decision or an issue with the special effects/budget

>>84294429

Book 2 of Korra could be the biggest pleb filter of all time. Sure, the first six episodes were kinda slow, but the rest of the season was great, and especially the Wan episodes. Some people hate these episodes because it went against their headcanon and took away muh avatar mystery, but pay no attention to them. In fact, the second half of season 2 was when I fell in love with the show after only thinking it was okay up to that point.

Konietzko (guy on the center) is a virtue signaling cuck who was responsible for the worst story decisions.
Not too familiar with the guy on the right.

LOK season 3 was shit.

Zaheer and the others were shallow, Bolin was given asspull powers, Earth Queen was cartoonish, Zaheer's closeness to P'lia (?) was tacked on and his flight makes no fucking sense in how unique it is based on how you achieve it i.e. every airbender who's reached enlightenment (let go of earthly attachment) should have it but they don't

>get the perfect waifu
>she turns into the moon

Throughout the course of LoK there is one major recurring issue that is never addressed namely asspulls. The first example of this is that Korra never defeats the main evil of the season (with the slight exception of season 4)
In season 1 Amon defeats Korra and takes away her bending only for her to unlock airbending and push Amon out of a window forcing him to use water-bending publicly at this point Amon should have been more then capable of finishing her off yet runs away to get murder-suicide by his brother.
Season 2 is Jinora ex machina with saving her from Uncle Satan (which she helped create)
Season 3 has the winds of destrtuction being defeated by everyone but her (Mako and Bolin vs Ming and Ghazan, Suyin vs P'Li and Zaheer vs the air benders)
Season 4 has the team take down mecha FemStalin (which she is the reason for existing in the first place) with Korra only delivering the final blow
Other examples of Asspulls in the series can be found in the romantic sub-plots, When Korra uses Bolin to get with Mako no real conflict is created outside of that episode with no long term consequences. When Korra is with Mako which hurts Asami nothing comes from that conflict. Finally when the creators needed something big to end on they shoehorned in a lesbian relationship out of left field.
Korra is just asspull after asspull and it ruins what should have been a great show

There was so much mind-numbing stupidity with this shit that I don't even know where to start.
I hate how this show always reverts to ambiguous platitudes to justify these sudden powers and abilities appearing out of nowhere.
What the fuck does 'let go of your earthly attachments' even mean?
So Zaheer lost his gf, but what about his two other friends? Why aren't they considered 'earthly attachments'?
What about his clothes? His desire for food and sustenance? His pride and dignity? What about all of these other things?
In fact, the whole show reverts to these illogical explanations for everything.
Vaatu can turn spirits dark, but Raava can't?
Jinora has a closer link to the spirit world, because reasons???

Fuck this show.

So, how does he fly? Is he an air bender?

And not even airbenders flied like that in the original one.

>>84294794
It's some secret airbending technique he got by stealing some ancient airbending necklace thing.

>>84288197

/tv/ originally liked it, but the /co/ meme must have spread over

Avatar threads two years ago didn't have anywhere near this level of Korra shitposting.

>>84294794
He can fly because he 'let go of his earthly attachments' or 'earthly tethers'. In his case, his gf just got killed so he no longer feels bound by her.

Basically, in order to fly, you have to stop giving a shit about things like friendship, pride, dignity, love, etc. It's the stupidest explanation ever, but hey, 'muh eastern philosophy course 101'.

>>84294857
Even Hitchiker's guide makes more sense
>"There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ... Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, that presents the difficulties."

>>84292854
>It's only possible during the moon
That was never a hard fact. You just needed to be really powerful, which was only presumed possible during the full moon. Logically, a really powerful waterbender could do it without it.

>Because apparently the moon and sun no longer change the power of the fire and water benders, despite that being a central plot point of the original series.
And a comet powers up firebenders even though comets are made of ice. Don't be selective in your autism.

>>84295076
>You just needed to be really powerful, which was only presumed possible during the full moon. Logically, a really powerful waterbender could do it without it.
Given that Korra kicked the shit out of the generic evil politician guy who could daylight bloodbend, that doesn't hold up.
The series own explanation is his family could do it just because.

This is true. They have a whole episode dedicated to explaining why the firenation started the war and what the terms were. They were the most advanced race and wanted to share their prosperity.

Leaves from the Vine gets a lot of deserved credit for hitting home emotionally, but I think the episode about Zuko's great-grandfather and the conclusion when he comes in all hot angry, hiding his confusion to yell at Iroh is amazing.
So too when Iroh implores Zuko to start asking the real questions about himself when he was about to steal Appa

According to the comics, that land had been occupied for decades by the Fire Nation. even if it was rightful earth kingdom clay, fire nation and earth kingdom citizens began inter breeding and marrying. By the time Aang and Zuko signed the peace treaty that ended the 100 year war, the citizens of that land were neither Earth Kingdom or Fire Nation, they were their own civilization.

Instead of the Avatar Wan bullshit, we should have had a 2-3 episode arc of the adult Gaang through the years. I get that Korra was supposed to be about a new Avatar with new characters, but there are so many gaps that weren't filled during Korra's run.

>How did Aang die?
>How did Sokka die?
>What was Tenzin like as a kid/young adult?
>Why did Tenzin and Lin break up?
>How did Aang raise his kids?
>Who the fuck did Toph fuck?
>What's going on with Zuko at this time?
>When did Zuko's daughter take over?
>How did Bumi become a successful military commander?

So many questions left unanswered. and we will likely never know these answers because at the rate the comics are going, it will be a decade before we get to see Aang in his 20's.

My only gripe with both series is that they only tell of the hero's path to be the Avatar. Aang and Korra only become a full fledged, elemental mastery, wise enlightened Avatars in the end of their stories. I wanted to see how a full fledged Avatar handle things. Aang in his prime must've been a total beast.

So did Bryke split up after Korra?

>>84297222
Cute and nice.

Her VA also voiced best Hey Arnold girl

>>84286293
The main reason why the Korra sucked was because the writers had no idea how many seasons they were going to get. They assumed they were only getting one so they just crammed a bunch of shit in one season. There were too many subplots that could have been stretched over multiple seasons
>Korra Bolin Mako love triangle
>Asami Sato and Satomobile
>Amon and antibender revolution
>Pro-bending
>Korra's airbending training
You have to deal with all of this, plus develop Asami, Korra, Mako, and Bolin as characters. It was just too much shit all at once and because of that there wasn't much focus for each.

For example it would have been interesting if Amon's revolution had at least a nugget of truth to it. There wasn't much showing that- the only thing we see is a bending gang in the beginning that Korra beats up. If we understand why Amon's revolution took off and why people started following him it would have made the show and the conflict much more interesting, but instead all we get is a last minute flashback showing him as a bloodbender. We never see why the antibenders even follow him in the first place, because there weren't enough episodes that could be dedicated to that particular subplot.

There were some interesting ideas here and there, but the show overall was just too rushed and it never felt like it had room to let its ideas breathe.

yet It felt more childish than its predecessor, especially every time this character was on screen

Because they didn't have an overarching villain / goal and aside from when they crippled her Korra basically had full control over everything except her emotions.

Love quadrangle shit was retarded as fuck too.

Should have had Amon be a distant threat in S1 while we introduce everything and have her learning 1-2 styles of bending she doesn't know (maybe Earth and Fire since Bolin and Other dude?). A few lines about 'Some radical in the Earth Kingdoms is gathering strength but pay them no heed' before tying him into the White Lotus shit, 'why is a guy who hates benders utilizing benders!?' Then around S2 or S3 the Equalists smash into the city we've spent the last few seasons coming to know and love.

I mean i could go on, there's a dozen ways they could have fixed / tweaked it so it wasn't as boring, but those two at the start are the central, structural problems from which all else stems.

There was also the 'Swamp Benders' from TLA, which i assume is Water + Earth. Or just waterbending rebranded, but they did have some shit made out of vines, maybe just manipulated the water in the vines like Toph manipulated the earth in metal.

>>84304163
Not in the least, man. Korra was caught between its young adult wants and children's program roots. If it was backed by maybe Adult Swim it would've been the GOAT show.

>>84304169
As of the latest comics they are still broken up. The writer and artist of the TLA comics is no longer working on them, and it seems the TLA comics were largely uninterested in addressing the mysteries between TLA and LOK, so it's unlikely we'd ever get concrete answers to things like Zuko's wife or Toph's baby daddies.
