Korra was actually pretty decent

Let's be real here, Korra was never going to surpass Avatar. It did a pretty good job for what it is.

But it DID surpass it. It was a fantastic action cartoon designed for and aimed at adults.

That's something you can't say about atla.

But Atla was more mature than LoK.

Korra was the TORtanic of Sup Forums.

this board was never the same afterwards

Nonsense. Atla was like watching a program following Temzin's shitty kids.


The only reason anyone prefers Atla is nostalgia. And the creepy bastards who feel uncomfortable that LOK followed a woman\POC\Bi-curious, yadda yadda yadda you've heard the rest.

Too much sitty teen love
Too much lesbian love that didn't make any damn sense

But that's not true. I watched both series for the first time last year and ATLA was far better.

different times

You know, it's sad that we live in a world where fake news not only exists, but it parroted by idiots.

I don't know how ANYONE could have liked season one's ending.

Korra cries and gets all her powers back and more.

Hoo

ray

No one did, some tried defending it but no one really thought it was good, first season was an absolute mess of a story.

Yeah i've heard that bait before

>Sup Forums can greentext a better ending for the series in a single post.

had better females

>cliche as fuck ending
>better

I liked most all of it but I think if it had ended with book 1 the general opinion about it on Sup Forums would become a lot kinder over time. It didn't mess with what people thought was the established lore of ATLA, Korra would still have her connection to her past lives. And maybe not calling what was obviously meant to be one short look into Korra's life The Legend of Korra probably would have helped too.

No, it was terrible and actually a really great lesson in how NOT to write.

Even if you take each season as it's own story, there's no central theme to any of them.

The show tries to bring in adult ideas but treats them with a childish good vs. evil mentality, and the conflict in Books 1 and 2 is resolved by magic bullshit that makes the characters as people irrelevant. Book 3 is okay, but doesn't really have an ending so much as a cliffhanger. Book 4 tries to have the resolution come from Korra's character, but it's a sloppy attempt to connect unrelated ideas. Korra and Kuvira have no real parallels, and Korra's arc (which was almost entirely about rebuilding confidence) has almost nothing to do with how she convinces Kuvira to step down.

Book 2 tries to do a story about balance and living together in harmony at the same time as an incompatible good vs. evil dichotomy.

None of the bloated cast of supporting characters feel like real people - They're like RPG party members who tag along with Korra because they have nothing better to do.

>And the creepy bastards who feel uncomfortable that LOK followed a woman\POC\Bi-curious, yadda yadda yadda you've heard the rest.

I think that's the best part; nobody actually disliked the idea of Korrasami. Korrasami was actually one of the more popular ships on this board for a VERY long time, since Book 1. People aren't uncomfortable with it, they're pissed off that Bryke has, in their incompetence, forced them to realize that their favorite ship is actually pretty unexciting in practice and their idealized versions of Korra and Asami (mocha sexual dinosaur and sultry stealth dom, respectively,) will never actually be a thing outside of tumblr fanart and rule 34. The reality of the characters is that both of them are incredibly awkward at romance, one of them is especially retarded at it, and probably neither of them even know what cunnilingus is.

Of all Bryke's narrative failures, this is their most monumental stunt; they took the concept of a delicious brown /fit/ girl hooking up with a bicurious 5'10 bombshell, and against all odds, SOMEHOW managed to make it boring.

Korra apologist here the last few minutes of book one are awful. It should have just ended on the murder/suicide.

What's frustrating is that Books 1 and 2 have the potential to be great, but both shit the bed with the last few episodes.

With minimal changes it could work nicely:
>Book 1
>Korra loses her bending like 2 episodes earlier
>Flowing with what EVERYTHING in the season points to (Korra's fighting style contrasted with airbending training, pro-bending, and Amon's power), she discovers how to fight without relying on brute strength.
>Fights Amon well enough that he's forced to use bending in front of his followers
>Rest is same as before

>Book 2
>As EVERYTHING in the season points to, Korra constantly looks to others for how to do be the Avatar (including her past lives, so it actually means anything when she loses them)
>After losing her past lives, she learns to think for herself
>Actually following the established theme of balance and peaceful co-existence, she embraces both Raava AND Vaatu, Yin and Yang
>This way her letting humans and spirits live together actually makes a narrative sense

Turbolesbo here.

This, desu. The whole thing just feels so ingenuine, but that's an issue with the entirety of the romance, not just Korrasami. The problem people here have with it is that Bryke proved that their favorite pairing is not immune to the stigma of shitty romance the show had up till that point, which it had been immune to before it became canon. The only saving grace Korrasami has is that it hasn't had the chance to get annoying yet...but judging by the comic premise and the fact that Mike is writing, it'll have that chance very soon.

It was also mostly a ship made because Makorra was so fucking awfull. It was like a protest against Brykes original idea, but it lost a lot of its impact when Makorra was ended in season 2, and most people seemed very content with the lack of romance plots in book 3.

...

Yes, I also enjoyed it.

...

If it started with Book 3, the progression to shit would make more sense

It's my favorite show
