Is this worth watching?

It's worth exactly one watch, yes. It's the best case study of the literal STATE of Western animation right now as a whole, really.

Yes. It is flawed, but ultimately very engaging, a good time and a big accomplishment of animated media.
It's way better than the average cartoons Sup Forums enjoys, and that's why the standard is so high and people love to shit on it.

The smiley face was what got to me.

Pfff. I wish.
If anything, Steven Universe/Star Vs is the modern state of western animation

>It's way better than the average cartoons Sup Forums enjoys
Buddy, most of the shows Sup Forums talks about are because either (1) it hates them or (2) it waifus one or more characters. Sometimes both.

Those shows are not complex enough to obtain an accurate analysis. LOK is very complex and for this reason much more flawed.

I say enjoy, not talk about.

What?

>Those shows are not complex enough to obtain an accurate analysis
Maybe if you're a brainlet. But in any case LoK is an big exception of western animation, not the rule.

It's better than people here make it seem, but that's because they're comparing it to ATLA and other better shows.

The creators planned for one season and it shows past that. Season 2 is Korra at her worst and the character keeps changing, not helped by there being no consistent plot-line through the show. Season 1 is its own story and so is Season 2, to be honest. 3-4 form a story in themselves, but it's late in the game and Nick already gave up on the show by then.

It's worth watching, but don't expect it to be great.

It's not an exception in any way that actually matters. Prettier animation is not one of them BTW

LOK's flaws have absolutely NOTHING to do with it not being planned out from the start. I repeat, NOTHING. It is an incredibly convenient excuse.

It was too much to bear, I went back, gave him some quick info and told him to go to a website made for this kind of stuff.

yeah-ish

first season is actually a great steampunk noir story with heavy themes of rape and class issues. except for the last two episode which basically suck

season two is trash execpt for one episode and varric

season three is sporadically great and boring

season four is bad? yeah mostly bad

but legit season 1 is a great piece of art hampered by an up final created by a team that didn't know if they were getting a second season

Animation quality, serial storytelling actually focused on plot. Focus on character development through an arc every season. Writer-focus. Planned ahead. Consistency.
Compare to:
Storyboarder-focus. Faux character development that gets forgotten or diminished after a couple of episodes if it even lasts that long. Arcs that go nowhere or move too slow and aimlessly. Improvisation episode by episode and disregard for continuity if it's for the sake of character humor or drama.

>For this particular one it was for an assignment which I had to do in 3 days there where a few things that where a bit off but there was only one sun , the other one was a planet , do you rate I should make something with more narrative with actors as well as space scenes which i build over sourcing ?:)

What was I meant to say to this? Is it even english? I looked at that trusting, friendly smiley face and I went to catalog and clicked on this 0 replies piece of shit bait. He hasn't replied so I think he lost all hope before he saw my reply.

Um, which show are we talking about here? Because it is NOT The Legend of Korra.

Now this certainly is, though. Not sure that was the point you were trying to make, of course...

Nah.
Season 3 > Season 4 = Season 1 > Season 2
Season 3 is on par with the best of ATLA and even sometimes better. Season 1 and 4 were going well up until the finale.
And Season 2 has a lot of highlights because of its characters in the middle of a messy plot.

Book 1 is not terrible, but it's still nowhere near the worst of ATLA, let alone the best. But I agree with you for the most part.

>Um, which show are we talking about here? Because it is NOT The Legend of Korra.
That's a lie. Why you lie, user? As minor plotholes and retcons as it might have around its predecesor, the elements introduced in LoK were consistent through the whole series within itself.
Don't be a faggot.

>Um, which show are we talking about here? Because it is NOT The Legend of Korra.
Tiny Toons, and that topic is over here

>Season 3 is on par with the best of ATLA and even sometimes better.
You are fucking delusional, buddy. The very best episodes of LOK are still trash compared to ATLA's worst episodes.
In fact ATLA Book 2 is mostly so incredible that if it were a standalone show it would be just about tied for the greatest cartoon of all time.

(Additionally, season 4 is GARBAGE. Almost as bad as season 2. And the finale is just about the least of season 4's problems BTW.)

>The very best episodes of LOK are still trash compared to ATLA's worst episodes.
I sure loved most of S1, it's not like it's boring trash until the north pole
not at all

Most of TLA Book 1's episodes range from really good to literal works of art, despite being largely standalone. You cannot justify liking LOK, user.

Sorry user, I cannot trust someone with such shit opinions as yourself.

No need to trust me, just stop trying to justify liking LOK to yourself, let alone others. Then its awfulness will become clear.

I'd love to hear the retarded reasoning behind this.

No retarded reasoning. As I implied in ATLA wasn't good because of continuity, it was good because the episodes themselves were made by professional writers.
Not hacks.

Continuity just took it from good to great.

Sorry user. I cannot lie to people. LoK is not only good. It's fucking excellent and you should neck yourself.

Eeeh, no unless you are able to jizz over godly Korean animation.

Characters that are just dumb or unlikable have all the spotlight, and characters who are somewhat likable are only likable because writers didn't spend enough time to ruin them too. Hell, sometimes they ruin characters by just not doing anything with them, seriously, what the fuck was up with Lin in S2 and how did she just not notice two obviously suspicious dirty cops being obviously dirty?

Really, Legend of Korra is best represented by its main character. Absolutely gorgeous, byotiful girl that you want to hatefuck at best because she's too dumb to genuinely love.

I would peg Season 2 being monumental garbage as a direct result of the creatives pulling it out of their asses in a hurry. The other seasons aren't terrific, but they're mostly watchable at least.

Book 4 is not watchable.

And Book 2's greater shittiness MIGHT have come from being rushed, but not from the plot not being known. The latter reason is bullshit.

I'm not entirely in the know about how the plotting of S2 went, but from what I heard it involved Bryke taking a bunch of prevuisly scrapped ideas and then passing them over to Hedrick and others to pound out scripts from them. Elements of the plot were known, but it seems they just ducktaped it together and hoped for the best.

As for S4, it only really went off the rails when Kuvira showed up with the Great Platinum Warrior Z Test Type. That was definitely a "fuck off" moment, but until then, the season sort of chugged along.

I can agree with this post.

>I sure loved most of S1, it's not like it's boring trash until the north pole

I feel this way unironically. ATLA S1 was pure kino. Why do so many people hate on it?

Eh, pure kino is stretching it... besides that one episode nobody wants to talk about, there were also several more childish ones, e.g. The Waterbending Scroll. But as I said, many other episodes were literal works of art in themselves.

Do it for her

Book 1 is worth watching for the animation alone. As flawed as the story and characters were, it was still entertaining and had decent pacing.

The later seasons completely dropped the ball in these areas, and actually doubled down on many of the problems from Book 1.

Aside from that, Book 1 basically wraps up all the major plot elements in one season, because it was originally meant to be standalone story, so there's really no reason to continue watching beyond that.

yes idiots on here just have a hate boner over retarded shit

No.
Spend time with your friends and family instead.

i will agree that book 2 is that good. LOK book 3 is like best of book 1 good. so not amazing but on par with the best of season 1

no, but the porn generated by it sure is.

No. I wish I hadn't wasted my time.

Yes, the show literally created a new genre (Animated Drama) and is first time that a cartoon has attempted to be dramatic and dark. It's pretty much the Breaking Bad of cartoons.

yeah, it's alright. Just don't get too invested in the plot, enjoy the action scenes, etc.

I'd say it's worth a watch
I wish i was as stupid as you
