>Is Legend of Korra as good as The Last Airbender?
No.

/Thread.

No. It's shit.

No. Please, don't do this. /tg/ wouldn't have sent you. They're good people and knowledgeable and would tell you it isn't as good. In fact they would have told you it isn't even good in its own context and would advise you to stay away from it.

Lurk more or use the archives, please.

korra gets more attention than it deserves. it's not good.

It takes the worst parts of Avatar and amplifies it.

No

There's hints of greatness but it just underwhelms

Only good part of the show

Yes, sometimes even better.

But here let me show you what the next 300 or so posts are going to be about...there now you can watch the show in peace.

Season 1 is okay

Season 2 is...well the second part is good

Season three is the best

Season four is for lesbians

...

The only reason people even acknowledge this show's existence is because of the Korrasami gambit.

General Consensus: No
They did, though.
...that's my motivation for asking kinda. Toph is fucking awesome
Thank you.

>2nd part is good
Only good part of S2 was Wan

I think it should be required viewing in Creative Writing courses to show what -not- to do

And a clip of Johnny Test showing the overuse of sound effects.

Nope. Make yourself a favor and just watch the bits win Avatar Wan. It's the only good part of the entire show. Avoid everything else.

Still don' believe you came from /tg/. They know their shit and wouldn't need to refer to Sup Forums for the answer to this. Hell, many of them browse Sup Forums as well.

Objectively speaking, ATLA wasn't that good either and people are subjecting it to the nostalgia goggles.

Fuck it.


it's much much much better.
the stakes feel more personal, the animations more fluid. I personally found Sokka really irritating and having that humor dialed down was a plus for me.

and the soundtrack is GOAT

LOK is shit compared to ATLA

Objectively speaking, all media is a needless distraction from the real issues we refuse to deal with and any apparent quality is genuinely irrelevant.

It suffers from the network never believing in it, so instead of one big story in 4 parts it's four completely different stories in one part each with deus ex machina resolutions because of how little time they get to wrap things up.

Neither of those statements are objective and if you think that ATLA wasn't that good then you have shit taste.

>I personally found Sokka really irritating
But Bolin was just a much much poorer imitation of Sokka with no redeeming features.

Every time someone says this in a Sup Forums thread, it's invariably greeted with at least 5-10 posts of people saying "Actually I just marathoned ATLA for the first time right before LOK, and you're full of shit because ATLA's great."

I didn't say it was perfect

I don't think it's shit, I think ATLA's the greatest family show of all time.

>I personally found Sokka really irritating
How the fuck did you stand Bolin?

You can say that again.

No, it suffers from Bryan and Mike not knowing how to tell pretty much any story in just 12 episodes. Season 1's pacing, alone, was completely fucked. And that had nothing to do with the network not knowing whether it was going to grant them a second season or not.

"How little time they get to wrap things up," is the fault entirely of the writers, not the network. It's entirely feasible to do a 4-season show wherein each season is standalone. Most anime manage to wrap up a complete story in 12 episodes.

It's the Prequel Trilogy to AtLA's Original Trilogy. The Hobbit to AtLA's Lord of the Rings. Reloaded and Revolutions to AtLA's Matrix.

ATLA is the best animated western cartooon, thats all. Korra is not as good as ATLA, but it is better than most of cartoons (Star, Gravity Falls, Steven universe, etc) and this is a total true

LoK is for lesbians if you like disapointment.

>Revolutions and Reloaded to ATLA's Matrix
Actually, that's probably the most apt analogy. Reloaded had some great fucking fights but the content was awful, and Revolutions was completely forgettable except for some of the cool Zion tech we saw and maybe one or two good fights. So, just like Legend of Korra, it was full of cool scenes but ultimately trash in the long-run. LOK's fights were much better than most of ATLA's.

I don't like Star Vs but GF and SU are better than LoK in most departments sans visuals.

Yes, it's a good show, first season is crap, Season 2 after ship drama is awesome, 3 is really fucking good and 4 is more of a continuation of 3.

Sup Forums hates on everything, you should watch the show for yourself but mind you that first season is okay at best.

It is even better than TLA.

Is it as good as The Last Airbender? No.
Is it alright? Yeah.

There's some incredibly weak writing, especially in Season 2, but on the whole it's got a nice bit of world-building, some nice fights and aesthetics, and on a handful of occasions actually manages to pull off some good, solid stories.

It's not the golden egg that Bryke laid with ATLA, but I certainly wouldn't say I felt like I'd wasted my time watching it.

Never really understood the burning hatred some Sup Forumsmrades seem to have for it. Probably like ATLA a bit better, but both have their strengths. I'd definitely recommend it if you like ATLA, if only to see the continuation of the original story.

Korra as a character reminds me a lot of Buffy.

this

It's the Voyager to ATLA's Deep Space Nine.

>Korra as a character reminds me a lot of Buffy.

Nah. Buffy was never that fucking pathetic and incompetent.

Don't listen to anyone else, here's a full, honest run down for you user:

+It has great world building and atmosphere, if you enjoyed the world in AtLA you will enjoy the ways it moved forward in 70 years.

+Fighting choreography is amazing, honestly it has some of my favotite fights in all animation

+A lot of characters are interesting and entertaining, namely Varik and Tenzin. Visual character design is also really strong - just look at the amount of porn that was made

-Writing is awfull. No way around it, it's just bad.

-Main cast of heroes is incredibly boring and a lot of the story is dedicated to their interpersonal relationships that are even more boring.

Go in with low expectations and you should have a good time.

It's just a massive disapointment, even if you haven't watched Atla. Everything they introduce that could be interesting is either dropped or mismanaged and becomes annoying instead.

Oh, yeah, I forgot

+Soundtrack is in fact GOAT

No. It has it's moments, but the characters have very little chemistry and the writing is awful. Only good part is Korra herself and Varrick. The former's a top-tier waifu and the latter's a fucking brilliant parody of eccentric billionaires. Everyone else is either annoying or bland without much personality (strangely enough, both of Korra's love interests fall under the latter category.) Great fight scenes, though, so it's worth it for that.

Game was surprisingly good, though, but not really worth more than one playthrough.

Unless you don't like the way they went about moving forward. It made a friend of mine who loved Atla drop LoK after episode 1.

And the fighting is good i guess, unless you loved the style of fighting in Atla, then you'll probably be let down by LoKs style.

It does sound and look good though.

Buffy was a little bit headstrong, but she was never Korra-ridiculous levels of headstrong. What little time Korra spent NOT accidentally playing 100% into the hands of her enemies, she spent making the world's stupidest decisions.

* Everything she did drove people further into Amon's camp. Even at the end of the season, she managed to accidentally expose him via deus ex rage-based airbending, and suddenly the Equalist plot evaporates like magic. Because Bryke didn't want to fix all of Korra's mistakes, so they just ignored them.
* Everything she did in Season 2 furthered Fuckface's plot, and even when she finally realized and decided to stop listening to him, she still lost hard enough that she killed the Avatar spirit. And then at the end of the season? She decides "Eh, whatever. I guess I'll actually just finish the bad guy's plot for him anyway. He lost, but that's no reason not to help out!"
* 90% of Season 3 couldn've ignored Zahir, since the Korra plot to that season barely converged with his until the end. But she still fucked up bigtime and just about lost to him, and nearly died of mercury poisoning.
* I didn't even bother watching Season 4, but I'm willing to bet it was yet more of Korra fucking up bigtime and probably advancing Kuvira's plot for her.

>Don't listen to anyone else
>But listen to my list of bullshit because i'm a perfect snowflake that can do no wrong

Fuck this user. Fuck him to hell. Korra was shit.

>+A lot of characters are interesting and entertaining, namely Varik and Tenzin. Visual character design is also really strong - just look at the amount of porn that was made
Varrick, yes. Tenzin? Tenzin was fucking awful. All three of Aang and Katara's children wound up being bratty little shits that grew into bratty adults. Tenzin has no fucking idea how to handle literally any of his relationships except maybe with Pema, and served to be the "Guyssssss... Guysssss stawwwwwppp. Guys why is no one listening to meeeee? Seriously you guysssss" annoying wet blanket character, who most of the series spends dumping on.

Also until Season 3, he jobs hard to every single fight he gets into. If the rest of the Air Nomads fight like Tenzin, I'm amazed that the Fire Nation didn't wipe them out in like half a day.

>Game was surprisingly good, though, but not really worth more than one playthrough.
The best part about the game was that it didn't have any of her dumb faggot friends. It's literally a game about Korra doing Korra things.

yeah, but if OP is /tg/ dude he should get a kick out of seeing how inherently magical world took a step into industrial age
Personally I was sold once I saw that Lightning bending is used as a sourse of enegry

Yeah it was actually nice to see her be a badass for once and not have to job.

I'm a /tg/ dude, and while i didn't hate the new world, the old one was vastly more interesting. And personally i completely disagree on the lightning bending, that's still imo some of the dumbest shit in LoK because it ignores what we were told about it in Atla.

I just wanted to give OP more full and not one sided answer to his question
And yes, I am a perfect snowflake
And yes, I would like to be fucked to hell

>Tenzin was fucking awful.
>hating based Tenzin
nigga you serious?

There was nothing at all likeable about him, so yes nigga I'm serious as fuck.

>it ignores what we were told about it in Atla
You mean that it's a Royals Only thing? I don't really see problem with that, it was 70 years of Zuko's rule. Teaching people what used to be secret technics fits with the theme of the age and blending of the line between commoners and aristocracy

>muh worldbuilding
fuck off, korra had shit worldbuilding. right off the bat, first season they weren't even arsed to make their own world like in ATLA (which i have no nostalgia for because i never watched nickelodeon as a child, i marathoned ATLA a few months ago), they just decided to pull off a "DUDE new york city from the EARLY 1900S SO CREATIVE LITERALLY UNSPOKEN OF" which almost made me drop the show after two episodes.

everything that isnt republic city is boring and forgettable. the pdople are boring, the civilizations arent memorable and the only memorable thing from korra is how it put me to sleep with impressive efficiency.

Master airbender who gets defeated in every fight he's in. He gets knocked out every single time, then whines like a little bitch when Jinora can go into the shitty Miyazaki spirit world and he can't.

They never said it was royals only, that was Blue Flame.

Lightningbending was something which required the tranquility of water-bending, and to be at peace inside. It required intimate knowledge of both Firebending techniques (the original dragon-based ones, not the ones taught in the Fire Nation), as well as the philosophies of the Water Benders.

Nope, that was only Lightning Redirection technic that reqired all that, Iroh invented it and then tought to Zuko. Watch the episode if you don't belive me.

Clearly didn't require that much, considering azula could do it.

I'm fine with lighting bending becoming common. Thats just more widespread teaching. Same with metal bending.

I want to fuck Korra and Asami at the same time.

>Writing is awfull
so basically, it's a bad show.
