Season 1 was good but the ending was a bit anticlimactic. Season 2 ruined the lore and is fucking garbage. Season 3 was nothing but missed opportunities and season 4 was decent, but too little too late and didn't have enough time to explore its good ideas.

Thats my opinion anyway, but any Avatar is almost always worth a rewatch for the animation alone.

I dropped it half way through season 1 and watched Wakfu instead.

then fuck off

Don't waste your time watching this badly written garbage. Go watch Over the Garden wall or the Dubbed version of Ergo Proxy.

>instead

You say that as if you had a choice between the two.

>Kuvira being qt.
Objectively correct

>I watched something fun instead
Fuck OFF. REEEEEEE

Season 3: Change is the best book in the whole avatar series

You can't prove me wrong, there are no arguments and all other opinions are invalid.

Glad you're being so insightful and mature about it.

Sure, why not?

Biggest problem with Korra is how sloppy the overall plot is. They didn't have any kind of plan and just winged it from season to season. ATLA had a much clearer beginning middle and end and a much stronger arc.

Also most of season 2 is hot garbage because they outsourced the animation of most of the episodes to Studio Pierrot.

It's only worth watching for the fights.

And the fights only got good in the last 2 seasons.

>because they outsourced the animation of most of the episodes to Studio Pierrot.
That's part of it but not nearly the only reason.

It's at least the most consistent.

Every ATLA book suffers from shitty, pointless episodes like The Divide or the Painted Lady despite having strong finales, and every other Korra season is of course hot garbage.

So Change ends up being the best book despite having none of the best episodes.

Your assessment is still correct. Maybe just rewatch Book 3, not like you don't already know what happens in previous ones.

You know how you always hear about those really dumb ideas that the creators of a show pitch that never make it in because they got vetoed by someone else on the production team?

Like how Toph was originally supposed to be a guy and part of a love triangle with Katara and Aang?

Korra felt like that. Like they just didn't have any one stopping Bryke from getting all of their dumb ideas in, like the Dark Avatar or the Giant Robot Laser.

>Giant Robot Laser
Fuck you, that was dope.

>he doesn't know you had to choose between Korra and Wakfu
You didn't watch both, did you? You're going to get AIDS user, that's what happened to everyone else who did.

It was fucking stupid.

fuck off retard

nope

Imo...

Season 1 & 4: Pretty good, but has some serious problems with pacing and character progression. Neither finale is lives up to the best of their respective seasons.

Season 3: Pretty great. Amazing villains and finale. Just as good as any Avatar season.

Season 2: Has some high points, but pretty bad overall. Awful villain and finale.

when will the thread deteriorate into just lewds?

no

Man, the first 6 episodes of Season 1 (up until 'And the Winner Is') is some of the best, most tightly plotted and well paced that Avatar has ever been.

How did it all go so wrong?

nothing

Lesbian Korra art just leaves a bad taste in my mouth these days. It was better as just a fantasy.

>they don't even know how to build guns
>build a giant laser AND a giant mecha
Explain

Korra's massive breasts.

I swear at this point I can recognize that url

Chicks dig giant robots.

Only thing that's worth a watch are all episodes animated by Studio Mir in season 2 except for climax.

Writing-wise it's a giant fucking mess.

Animation-wise it's fucking astonishing.

co talks about it a lot dispute seemingly hating it, so go ahead it's pretty good

but it was built up for 3 fucken seasons
and it was pre fucken cool

...

Maybe I'm nitpicking but this style always looked jerky to me. Like it's missing several frames of animation between actions.

I've rewatched it a couple of times, but i can't get through book 4 and book 2 is extremely bad even when you know what happens.

So you can do it but it will probably be worse than the first time.

Bryke seems to be great at building up tension but can't write the conclusion/ending to all that buildup.

How was a giant laser and giant robot build up for 3 seasons? I can see your point if we're talking exclusively about spirits being important, but not the technology jump to sci fi.

Casual reminder that after changing the animation studio it was never quite the same again.

Pierrot animated only seven episodes though, Mir animated all the rest.

that was only half a season you knobhead

And on top of that, they outsourced to other companies who clearly had no idea what they were doing.

You and me

user... the lore was ruined from season 1 youtu.be/bmKaQqinWKY

Awful character who dominates all elements at 4 years old, is a shitty person in general, and every time she is confronted with something where she is wrong, and there would be a chance for her to improve and grow as a character, the universe says she was actually right all along and she keeps on being a shitty person.
She just does whatever she wants, disrespect whomever she wants, destroy whatever she wants, even forcing a kiss on a guy who said wasn't interested in her... and the universe just keeps rewarding her for it, pretending she is a hero, and not a spoiled brat. She is the avatar, you gotta deal with it.
What a frustrating mary sue of a character.

Remember kids, the only seasons to watch are the ones where the villian doesn't die.

Amon is the exception, since Noatak died but "Amon" got away and is presumably still alive to some folk. Flip a coin for this one

Well you can argue the fact that they had to animate under a TV budget so it's likely they only did the key frames with a few inbetweens.

They did a good job with the fight sequences though. The posing works out.

Watch it for the animation and nothing else.

Skip season 2 when Studio Pierrot takes over (except Wan's arc)

On the one hand I like Kuvira so seeing her be badass is nice. On the other, that's the fucking Avatar she made look like a child. Embarrassing.

only watch Season 1
and then that is it
no more
it is over
leave it at that
amon could saved us all

Why is everyone save for Tenzin so fucking unlikeable in LoK?

someone needs to show this video to brian and mike

Or you can try to watch something of new.

Most of that is so Casual I can't image anyone hasn't seen 90% of the list.

I don't think most of this board have seen more than half of these.

3>1>4>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (except Wan bit)
My order of the seasons

You must be new.
Nah people on Sup Forums really really love cartoons and tons of these shows aired on TV regularly.

I've seen pretty much everything on this list.

You must be right.
I'm French so it's hard for me to know what is famous in America.

Good choice.

Show should have been made with Korra wearing a crop top and showing her midriff. Would have fixed everything.

Go back to your containment board.

Stop shilling your own video.

Korra's defining trait is she's really good at bending even compared to Aang.
>Duels Amon and loses.
>Duels Kuriva and loses.

Aang didn't even like fighting but they gave him some points against Bumi. And you don't even have to have her win, just have her show SOME strength. Against Amon have her realize right away that something is wrong with the fight and recognize she's some how being bloodbent. Against Kuriva you could have her spend the fight focusing on trying to reason with her but falling short. Just anything to show what should make korra good. Instead she's bad at fighting and also thick headed.

But she's resilient! And eventually she ends up being right!

Since she never learned discipline or patience during the show, clearly she learned it through intense bondage sessions with Asami.

>Aang didn't even like fighting but they gave him some points against Bumi
Aang only lost two or three fights in the series, and like two of those were bullshit losses.

They made Aang hyper competent and Korra super incompetent.

Is it really that Korra was that incompetent, or was it just that Aang was extraordinarily skilled for an avatar? Maybe he just raised the bar so high that no one could live up to it.

>shit finale
>zero character development
>deus ex machina up the ass
>yet another korra season that establishes a fantastic premise that somehow goes nowhere
zaheer was a great villain, though. maybe the best in either show.

/u/ is low tier; if you want to watch girls getting fucked, go see porn. There is just no appeal here.

She's not reliant though, we see her flipping out and giving in to frustration and despair all the time.
Does Korra even have any moments of real strength that belong to her? Aang has things like Bumi's tests showing his creativity and skill, the dance party showing how his pacifism and freedom can reach out to people, and just overall being a powerful bender in his own right that can only be challenged by other masters, and he still got the leg up on some of them like Zhao.
What things has korra even done that weren't magic powers out of nowhere?

No, Korra was incompetent. Every encounter she could have managed to at least turn to her favor given her skills but they had to make her lose to move their plot along.

Their mentality never took small victories into consideration. They figured they needed to make the opposition something insurmountable to get a pay off at the end even if the fighting should have been the easy part.
And even at the end they still couldn't give her a victory on her own merit even going so far as to shove Jinora in during the season 2 finale.

>a fantastic premise
There was no fantastic premise in season 3.

>It's at least the most consistent
- i want chaos Because
- oh, i just happen to get airbending while knowing the lost tradition of airbending.. who knew, right?
- chaos is natural so it's good... right?
- WTF, chaos didn't help? who knew, right?

And that's just Zaheer. The others are even worst.

>the emotional payoff of an entire season's worth of events is irrelevant to the quality of a season
shit taste pls go

>villain have a shitty motivation
>Korra AGAIN does dumb shit to help the villain
>shit resolution
>plot metal
>"lol, i know how to lavabend. Who knew, right? now let me fight on par with someone that used it for all his life"
>metal city

She was the one that caught on to Asami's father, and helped to expose him. She also got through to Kuvira and talked her into surrendering.

She was also largely responsible for bringing the air nation back.

>And even at the end they still couldn't give her a victory on her own merit even going so far as to shove Jinora in during the season 2 finale.

I think that was partially because they obviously wanted the show to be an ensemble, and tried to give everyone something to do.

Come to think of it that's weirdly the problem.
TLA was about a small but clever force going against an entire army nation. Aang had to face his weakness of hating violence and use his other strengths to overcome them.
Korra's on the other side, she's nearly a fully realized avatar with whole nations of support having to go against smaller idealistic groups like "Benders hold too much power" "The world is too segregated" "The rulers are corrupt" and so on, but she's never able to actually beat those ideologies, either the villain's ideologies win anyway (non bending president, killing the earth queen put a new guy into power) or Korra just throws up her hands and suddenly spirits are everywhere for no reason.
You can easily depict Korra working in that environment too, just take her blunt and simple minded nature so she can say "Well, aren't they kinda right? Our council doesn't have any non benders on it for one.." but take her care free attitude as the reason she doesn't become an extremist like the villains and try to find a middle ground.

Not him, but..
>She also got through to Kuvira and talked her into surrendering
First of, Kuvira was already defeated at that point. Second, the entire thing was ridiculous:

- Kuvira, you didn't actually worked hard for 3 years to rebuild the EN because you wanted to help your people. You just have daddy issues!
- Oh, really? i never really notice that.. thanks

>She was also largely responsible for bringing the air nation back
That is not really a good thing. It's neutral at max, and that's pushing it. Now there are plenty of dangerous people popping in the world, with powers they can't even control. And even the ones that do know how to control it, are quite dangerous (like Zaheer). There is also plenty of people htat would abuse the new airbenders, like the earth queen.

>That is not really a good thing. It's neutral at max, and that's pushing it. Now there are plenty of dangerous people popping in the world, with powers they can't even control.

There are also good airbenders too, some of whom might become heroes in their own right. You take the good with the bad.

>She was also largely responsible for bringing the air nation back.
This one really doesn't count because absolutely no one knew it would happen including Korra. And the problem with the spirits thing is she has absolutely no reason to bring spirits into the world. She spends the whole season fighting against the harmonic convergence, knows from experience that spirits not only have a history of fighting with humans, but can become dangerously unstable if either angered or around emotional people, and spirits didn't, and wont lift a finger to help the material world with their problems.
Korra has zero business deciding the fate of the world like that, but if you really want that ending for 4 just pull in fucking Braava. Just have Braava speak up and talk about how her ten thousand years living human lives has shown her that she thinks it's finally time to join them again because humans are ready.

You don't give the ensemble magic super jesus powers though. For that situation what you can do is give Jinora a more toned down role, like having spirits gather around her and point her to the magic super tree, then she realizes she needs to lead Korra there. It fits in with her high spirituality without hijacking the plot with sudden super powers.

Until now things only went to shit with airbenders; some got tortured, others caused trouble in RC, and Zaheer fucked the entire earth nation. "There may be good people" is why i said that it is neutral at max. Still the tendency is things to get worst. Mostly because bending itself is basically the same as giving a rocket launcher to a kid.

It really sucks how they butchered the whole Yin-Yang philosophy into just light-ladies are good, dark-guys are bad. It just directly contradicts the entire point of the philosophy, that you need both halves to become a whole individual. Enough order that people maintain culture, but enough chaos that they aren't isolated and sterile. Having EITHER side completely win is supposed to be a bad thing, but the plot doesn't even touch that too much order might be bad, it just whiplashes to Korra going "Changed my mind, i'm bringing spirits in because i instantly believe Vaatu was right, and i'm not even going to bother considering how the humans, spirits, or past avatars whom ALL rejected this might feel.

>and tried to give everyone something to do.
Ikki and Meelo
Naga
Asami
Kya and Bumi
Pema
Senna and Tonraq
and others
If a character has no reason to be there, then don't have them there. If a character has nothing to gain from an encounter or nothing to contribute on their own towards a goal they themselves are working towards or against, then don't have them there. Jinora could have just went back to her body to show Tenzin's development of not trying to measure up to his spiritual father. Then Korra can go go Godzilla and combine physical and spiritual development and take down the monster on her own while her friends protect her human body as an ensemble support to the titular character.

>but take her care free attitude
Not care free, but actual discussion of why the opposition is misguided. You can't blame a thing for what the user is doing, you can't want spiritual togetherness while threatening to kill your tribe, you can't kill leaders and expect no one to ever take their place, and you...well Kuvira was doing a good thing until she went crazy and wanted to burn all bridges.

It's not a blunt and simple minded nature when everyone else didn't have a nature to contribute in the first place. It would be the voice of reason from someone removed from the mess who can see the problem from a different angle, an outsider like Korra could bring a new perspective to the argument and get caught up in the struggle.

Also Aang didn't have to face his weakness of hating violence, he just had to use his other strengths.

The whole "it's natural, so it's good" argument is just ridiculous. Rape, torture.. it all happens in nature, it doesn't mean that's how our society needs to be. What defines humanity is the power to defy nature.
