Why is kyhu so based?

>implying anyone is going to discuss the show
Oh just post more Korra abs. Save us all the busywork of pretending to give a shit.

Basically this.

Also, this thread is just an excuse to post lewds.

>Season 1:
Too black and white on a morally grey issue and Amon being a water bender was kind of lame
>Season 2:
Not enough politics and spirit shit and generally just not serious enough
>Season 3:
Korra's dad should have actually died when he got thrown off the cliff, no real issues with this season though
>Season 4:
Felt rushed and should have been a lot more serious than it was

That said my biggest issue with the show is Bolin going from being the wacky guy to a retarded attention seeking man child

> Up until four or five episodes in, villains appear sympathetic and have legitimate points.
> Then they suddenly go full retard
> Hurr durr, plunge the world in an eternity of darkness.

I actually typed out an entire response to the various bullshit points in this, (for example Korra didn't abandon Republic city because she refused to help fix the vine problem, she was literally banished)

But then I realized my autism and stopped

Post lewds or let the thread die

>Book 1 - Korra was a unlikable Turbo bitch and the show was little more than will-they-won't-they shipping
>Book 2 - WORST FINALE EVER
>Book 3 - This is nice. Hope the next book is as good.
>Book 4 - ... I miss Korra's amazing rack.

For season 2, they utterly destroyed the Yin/Yang philosophy which is pretty shocking for a series that should know better, especially since the original philosophy was completely in line with the resolution of the season.

Wan was really good though.

It had no fanservice. Terrible anime.

Though for the one that honestly bothered me the most, just Korra being largely ineffectual all the time. Spends the first season trying to learn patience, spends the next directly threatening a judge in open court.

Season 1:
I hated Korra defeating Amon with Airbending from nowhere. Completely destroys the entire conflict and robs us of any actual character arc.

I loved the set-up.

Book 1:
I hated the mess of an ending.

I liked Varrick.

Book 3:
I hated Suyin.

I liked the ending.

Book 4:
I hated the flimsy attempt at creating a thematic connection between Korra and Kuvira.

I liked that Korra got SOME character development, if sloppy.

Anyone who says the lesbian ending is dumb. Yes, it came out of nowhere as a cheap attention grab, but it was also inconsequential compared to all the real problems the story had.

no girlabs
no sale

>anyone who says the lesbian ending is dumb

I agree that the lesbian ending shouldn't be considered S4's biggest fault, but to me it was very much indicative of just how poor the writing in LoK was.

The utter lack of meaningful character development and the nonsensical decisions the characters tend to make are my biggest problems with the show.

Book 1:
Bad: Poorly paced. They focused a lot of time on stuff that could have been better woven into the main plot (shipping basically). It's like they forgot they only have like 10 episodes to tell a story.

Good: The action was more visceral than I remember it being in ATLA. I liked that (and the music).

Book 2:
Bad: Just one thing? Okay, the whole plot line. Every part from start to finish.

Good: Every plot besides the main plot. Unless this was the season with Aang's kids' daddy issues, which is excluded.

Book 3:
Bad: Suyin's family.

Good: The main antagonists. They seemed deeper than the typical genocidal Avatar antagonist.

Book 4:
Bad: This one was all over the place and didn't focus enough for the resolution to have a lot of impact.

Good: I liked Korra's story before she had to deal with Kuvira.

At least she has big titties. Too bad they got nerfed after S1.

I hate you all so much. Just give it a fucking rest

Mods like Avatar. They will never delete Avatar threads. This will never end.

Hide and report. Your audible butthurt is just a magnet for bumping the thread.

>she was literally banished
she was only banished after she said she wasn't going to do anything about the vines, if i remember correctly. She literally said they had to deal with it. She did at least try tough.

That people still make multiple threads about them each day

And only half-ass posting porn
at least link to /aco/

When will she start drawing Pharah.

this dude has a huge boner for Kuvira, which is fine but makes his s4 argument incredibly biased.

Curious if anyone found the "first avatar" portion of the show decent?

it's generally seen as the highlight of season 2, but I really don't think it's that great.

the problem is that instead of leaving the background lore kind of mysterious and open to interpretation like in the first series, the 'Wan' episodes reduce it to a generic western good vs. evil battle between giant tapeworms (only half joking), instead of the more interesting and fitting yin and yang comparison. it's pretty much a giant missed opportunity.

Regardless of your opinion of Korra, that was easily the best part of the entire show.

And then they literally destroyed any connection to it by ruining the avatar connection. What the actual hell were they thinking.

It's honestly kind of baffling, because the resolution of the season WAS yin yang philosophy. Korra decided that order and the status quo was going too far and needed a change, having both in balanced amounts is what it's supposed to teach. But no, dark is bad and evil and light is good.

I liked Kuvira. She made a believable centerpiece for the rise of a fascist government.

>season one
no korra feet
>season two
No Eska or korra feet
>season three
Jinora
>season four
No Kuvira feet

i liked Kuvira too, but the poster in that image treats her like she hardly did anything morally wrong, going so far as to say it felt forced that she was a villain.

she very clearly bullies the leader of a province into joining her empire in her first appearance in season 4, and goes downhill from there (aside from a few moments, like her scenes with Baatar Jr).

And you don't?

Will you turn your back to that smile?

>but the poster in that image treats her like she hardly did anything morally wrong, going so far as to say it felt forced that she was a villain.
Oh, well then he is a fascistboo and a retard, but I repeat myself.

I know Kuvira is not a man because of the beauty mark.

Every problem with the show can be summarized as: shitty pacing, villians going full retard for no reason, and Korra fucking up continually

Why all of you say she is a man?

I would have been willing to forgive Korra for it's numerous faults if Season 4 didn't drop the ball like a sack of fucking bricks. Why is moral ambiguity so goddamn hard for these hacks to write?

S1 the fan base
S2 the fan base
S3 the fan base
S4 the fan base and triggered nerds

Kuvira being Hitler all along was fucking heartbreaking. Not just because it was a shitty non-twist, but because for a moment I thought this show might have redeemed itself a little. For a moment I thought the show might try it's hand at the kind of gray morality it fucked up in season 1. I thought they would have an little arc with Mako and Bolin being on opposite sides, both believing themselves to be in the right with some resolution to give them the brotherly development they never had. But nope. Kuvira was objectively in the wrong. Sorry Bro, neither of us have learned a goddamn thing. The Legend of Korra was nothing if not an overwhelming lesson in disappointment.

Also, what the fuck was the point of killing Hiroshi? It didn't come off less as dramatic and more as one last dump on Asami before the end.

>Hitler
The fuck? She is obviously Metal Mussolini. Hitler was just an imitator of fascism.

S1:
I loved pre season finale Amon. He was such a great villain that the ending he got still bothers me.
Hated the finale in general. And the romance shit that got worse as the season progressed
S2:
There were small moments of things i liked in this season like varrick, bumi's little rescue was great, and Wan's story was great although a little weird in relation to pre-existing lore.
Most of the rest of it was shit and seemed poorly planned. Also when you have a battle with Satan as your 2nd season how are the stakes supposed to be raised. Also i really thought we'd have been done with romance drama but i was so wrong.
S3:
Villains were great, almost Amon tier. Overall it was a good season that only really suffered because of side characters like kai and jinora.
Hated the jinora ex machina. The fact that she saved korra and was such a major part in defeating the big bad in 2 finales is crazy. Also fuck suyin.
S4:
This one felt disjointed. And while the main characters felt at their best in this season they rarely got to show it. Korra was just a disappointment this season. Suyin did not deserve any screen time and her whole family were annoying. Even toph was worse. Also I always felt like the characters didn't have a similar bond like the gaang had and toys really hurt them i think as they seemed to be missing something. Also that relationship thing was dumb but not the stupidest part of the finale (suyin).

>hurr durr Hitler
She never wanted to exterminate or ethnic cleansing the earth kingdom.

...

She literally put everyone that wasn't an Earth Nation citizen into concentration camps. It could be argued that she wasn't going to kill them but after waging war on Republic City, I doubt she'd give a fuck.

rehabilitation camps*
Kinda like federal prisons

>She literally put everyone that wasn't an Earth Nation citizen into concentration camps.
Except that didn't happen. Those camps were for political dissenters.

I really hate this villain shit.
I wanted her to stay pure
:

No the background bitch literally says they were for everyone that wasn't of "Earth Kingdom Origin"

I must have missed that.

My biggest problem, save for season 2, was motherfucking Suzin. And yes I"m calling that bitch Suzin not Su Yin. Because she's a Mary Suzin who can do no wrong.
>Oh sorry sis for scarring your face and taking advantage of mom's police position
>Oh sorry sis for running away to fuck around with pirates
>Oh sorry sis for gloating my motherfucking metal city and acting like a smug cunt. Why don't you forgive me sis?
>M-mom forgave me, why not you sis?
>Kuvira is offering a ceasefire, better kill that bitch in her sleep
>Kuvira I fucking hate you even though Batar Jr was just as fucking evil. That's you get for being a street rat, you adopted piece of shit.

Season 1:
>Biggest Problem: I still weep for the actually good subplots that might have been done with the time that was instead wasted on that FUCKING love triangle
>What I liked most: The Equalists were a fairly interesting antagonist force and Amon was one of the better villains in the series, although he tapered off at the end with his origins being unsatisfying and his defeat rushed. I did like that he came across as a horror villain that somehow wandered into an action/adventure series.

Season 2:
>Biggest Problem: So many competing factors. FUCKING LOVE TRIANGLE 2.0, the start of the Gaang's fuckup kids eating screentime that could have been used on Korra's crew resolving issues they should really have gotten over when they were in their twenties, killing past avatars, and Jinora's unexplained fairy thing.
>What I liked most: Wan.

Season 3:
>Biggest Problem: Su a shit. Also, Red Lotus's motives aren't nearly as compelling as the group deserved.
>What I liked most: Despite their motivations leaving me cold, the Red Lotus were still pretty fuckin' cool.

Season 4:
>Biggest Problem: SU STILL A SHIT, that FUCKING stupid robot
>What I liked most: Based Varrick, Mako actually being good when he had a comedic foil instead of a godawful romance subplot

Because like us she is thirsty for muscular and delicious brown girls

I spent all of season 3 hoping Lin would deck that cunt in her fat mouth

>Season one
Not being able to live up to Sup Forumss expectations for the sequel to atla
>season two
Not being able to live up to Sup Forumss expectations for the sequel to atla
>season 3
Not being able to live up to Sup Forumss expectations for the sequel to atla
>season 4
Not being able to live up to Sup Forumss expectations for the sequel to atla
Only problem with the show was the retarded fandom. It was the fandom's fault for pushing Korrasami which ruined the ending. Everything else was average at worst which Sup Forums couldn't accept from their nostalgia pedestal of AtLA.

Season 1:
Equalists have a point and it's demonstrated over and over again that the non-benders feel resentment over this. They do nothing to solve this. Everyone had a theory that this would be addressed. No, it's just shoved away after Amon is defeated and nothing comes of it. Equalists are an idealogy that would cause problems even after Amon, but they just disappear after he's revealed to be a bender, which is not foreshadowed much at all. His backstory is thrown into the last few episodes with little regard.
Too much shipping. There were way, way too many love triangles going on. Even Tenzin, Pema, and Lin are in a love triangle. The creators wanted to pander to that side of the fandom.
Korra doesn't deserve to get the Avatar State handed to her like that. She should've spent the next season regaining the elements by communing with the Spirits and getting in touch with her spiritual side. I know it was planned as one season but it's a bad ending.
Season 2:
Just a bunch of random stuff they wanted to throw in
Kaiju battle because it's cool!
Mako is a cop instead of Bolin!
First Avatar story! Though this was one of the highlights of the show. Probably because of the novelty of the idea and the animation, the dialogue wasn't that great.
Spirits aren't really that consistent with Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Season 3:
I think this one was the best. They finally learned their lesson about Korra learning very little and decided to have her face the fact that she didn't really earn the endings to season 1 and 2. The problem is that they went too far in the other direction and just made her seem like a total failure. She's totally broken and it's solved by having her spend a day or two with Toph.
Season 4:
Not enough focus on Korra herself.
Shipping finale. Everyone knows this. It was handled terribly.
Anyway, Avatar: The Last Airbender was good because of Aaron Ehasz. He was the best writer and he guided the show, the creators should've brought him back.

God fucking damn, this

Korra manages to try diplomacy and get a ceasefire and the fucking cunt ruins it

Likely as not that Kuvira would have attacked anyways at some point since she anticipated a night attack, but holy fuck Suyin

>Season 1
The reveal that Amon was actually a waterbender and not some actual based normie
>Season 2
Korra hating based Tenzin,no follow up on Equalists, Aang turning out to be a subpar dad, Korra cutting off her connection to previous Avatars, and Deus ex Jinora, no Dark Avatar cycle
>Season 3
Bummed that they killed the Red Lotus except Zaheer
>Season 4
No one BTFOing Suyin, Kuvira going full on mustache twirling evil, Kuvira's motivation literally boils down to mommy issues, the army did jack shit,

Overall I wished that the series did more overarchign stuff like Airbender. There was build up to Ozai and we knew what the series was building up to, beat Ozai/the Fire Nation. Korra was neat and it had some cool villains but I feel like it would have benefitted more if they could have done a more overarching plot because a lot of the time the endings just seemed rushed. Like I remember the last couple episodes of Book 1 where I was hyped as fucked beacuse Amon took Lin's bending and he had the Air Nomads captive. Shit was intense but in the end none of it had any real consequences because it ended with Aang teachign Korra how to give back bending and the organization fizzled out by Book 2. I understand the reason for this was because it was supposed to be a miniseries then it got renewed but I still think if they allowed some cliffhangers/shit to be expanded upon starting back first book, it could have been a whole lot better.

I'm assuming the people who made TLOK are libertarians.

I'll give you the (you) because you worked so hard. Korra was a terribly written and terribly paced show irrespective of it's relation to the original. Anyone who's watched it could tell you that much.

A lot of people like to say it was terribly paced because Nick renewed the show at different points, but Avatar: The Last Airbender told an overarching story before being renewed. They planned on ending it at The Blue Spirit if it didn't get the full three seasons.

Yeah. Them thinking they only had one season was never an excuse. If you know you've only got twelve episodes to tell a story, you don't waste precious minutes on a love triangle that doesn't go anywhere or develop any of the characters involved. And considering how poorly handled everything with the Equalists was, they honestly shouldn't have even bothered.

With how much screen time was devoted to pro-bending, they should have just made that the focus of the show. I honestly wouldn't have minded an Avatar themed sports anime. Just 12 episodes of dense character development with Korra, Mako, and Bolin learning how to work as a team. With that they could have spent more time developing Republic City as a setting as well because the whole jazz aesthetic was woefully underused. The villain could have been small-time and one-dimensional because those are honestly the only kind of villains Bryke know how to write. Hell they could have added a few more rounds to the tournament and kept Tahno as the big bad. Set him up as a real piece of shit by showing him handing off bribes to the ref so that his blatant cheating makes more sense. Making the payoff for when they beat him all the better. Then the ending could have been a cliffhanger when the Equalists show up to crash the game. That way that whole plot line could have had a season to itself to develop.

Or just hire better writers.

Has anyone ever hit you for lack of listening?

But they know they'd have Book 3 and 4 which honestly I would have preferred Red Lotus being two season villains over Kuvira. I wanted more of the based lava bender.

>Airbenders lead a deeply spiritual, nomadic lifestyle that adheres strictly to approved diet, appearance, exercise, and behavior
>hah hah you can bend air? Hah ha well what are you waiting for? Come get forced into adopting a culture you have absolutely fucking nothing to do with, all there is to it is bending air. Truly this is what my father would've wanted
>also now we're the world police hahah, just go ahead and force our morality and laws on everyone (haha totally different from Fire Nation nationalism tho). Forget all that stuff about transcending the material realm and Air Nomads being docile isolationists, start flying around arresting people

Zaheer understood air bending better than Tenzin within two fucking weeks of obtaining it.

>which is pretty shocking for a series that should know better
Don't know why you expected this.

Even in ATLA, they've been pretty surface level with their knowledge of the Asian things they're drawing from.

>It had no fanservice
