Do you think child Korra would still have been excited and happy if a time traveler told her she would suffer the most out of all the Avatars?
>>
>>147158074
She certainly doesn't. The point was she had some naïve idea about how fun and cool being the avatar would be. Then she got out into the real world and realized people weren't gonna bend over backwards for her just because of her status. It's actually a nice metaphor for growing up.
>>
>>147158137
She always gets labeled a mary sue and gets lumped together with actual egregious marys like Rey from Star Wars. People really like to overlook her development.
>>
>>147158154
I think the big issue is that, yes she eventually gets that just because she's the avatar things aren't going to go her way, but she takes FOREVER to learn that lesson and even though she kind of gets it by around season 3, she still plays the avatar card all the time and doesn't have anything else besides her avatar status to make people follow/work with her.

Aang, even not taking in account the fact that he was the avatar, had all the lessons and culture of the air monks to help people around him and was a much more empathetic person in general. Korra, if you remove her avatar and bending skills, is just a brash young lady that has barely anything else to add to any real conversation about the problems she was meant to solve. She was just winging it for the whole series and fumbling hard most of the time.
>>
>>147158154
Maybe because she is a Mary sue. Who always found a solution to every problem or of her ass.
>>
>>147158209
Aang was the one who always had an asspull solution to any problem he had, Korra was the one who constantly suffered. The one asspull Korra had was at the end of season 1 when Aang shared his asspull powers with her.
>>

>anon: "yeah, live with it and accept it, you little bitch"
>>
>>147158266
I only watched season one of korra anyway
>>
>>147158272
The worst part is that Korra become a dyke
>>
>>147158289
In season 2 she loses her connection to Aang and then in season 3 she gets crippled by severe mercury poisoning
>>
>>147158074
I don't think she would understand what it means.

But either way kid Korra is super cute and adorable and it's a real travesty we didn't get more of her, especially with them teasing us with that short comic.

Korra should've been a coming of age story told in books i.e.
Book 1 is kid Korra
Book 2 is teen Korra
Book 3 is adult Korra etc.

We only got a little bit of it with Aang and I guess with Jinora and other kids but it didn't really affect Korra that much, she started as a bratty young adult with a tempter problem and it ended with her being a bratty slightly older adult with a temper problem which is in term part of why everybody hated her.
If we saw her actually grow up and make those dumber mistakes when she was younger (closer to Aang's age) and then work through them people would be much more open to her as a character.
The fact that we got this grown ass retard woman acting like a buffoon and an elephant in a china shop really didn't help endearing anyone to her. (except for the women who felt represented and empowered for being retarded and getting rewarded for it)

Might as well just dump it I guess.
Can never have enough of her cute belly.

korra fucked up constantly and then they crippled her, it seems bad faith to call her a mary sue. if anything mako was the sue. she was just written badly.

Adult Korra barely understands what she did what makes you think her child self would
>>
>>147158209
How is she a Mary Sue when she only beat two out of like 10 of her villains?
>>
>>147159866
Because she did everything wrong yet still won and didn't die/killed all of her enemies dispite being shit
>>
>>147158266
>Aang was the one who always had an asspull solution to any problem he had
That's only true in the finale, every other time Aang solved things himself
>>
did anyone else want to blow a raspberry on her belly button or was that just me
>>
>>147161071
It was pretty convenient that when he needed to stop the attack on the North Pole the ocean spirit possessed him and did it for him.
>>
>>147161099
Yes, definitely, absolutely.
And not only there.
>>
>>147161099
Oh I want to blow raspberries on her button alright.
Just not that one.
>>
Aang is a Holocaust survivor
The worst thing that happened to Korra was people being kind of mean to her
>>
>>147161457
Well she is a woman so that's like one of their worst nightmares.
>>
>>147158074
I think she would've ignored said time traveler like she does every adult that tries to teach her anything for her own good. Instead she'd find the most obviously evil looking motherfucker that would stroke her ego and go with that
>>
>>147161156
Yue had to sacrifice herself in order to fix things, so I give it a pass.

Like I said in another thread all the problems are a result of them designing Korra as the Opposite of Aang rather than as a complement. Aang is empathic as a result of world travelling? Korra has to be a dumb shut-in that's so sheltered she doesn't even know you need money to pay for things. Aang is wise behind his years? Korra has to have a bad case of arrested development.
They never figured out who she was outside of that contrarianism.
>>
>>147158074
I'd rather use time travel to knock up lin or something ngl
>>
>>147158074
The time traveler would probably include that she would bring it on herself due to her own personality flaws and child Korra would probably lash out at them for it and learn nothing
>>
>>147158074
And that she’s destined to ruin everything for everyone.
>>
>>147158154
Literally none of her "development" happened. She's the same person at the end as she is at the start
>>
>>147158266
didn't Aang try to fight someone and get one-shotted? didn't Aang fail to save Aapa and lose him for a long period of time? i have not watched either of these series in forever and found the characters in Korra immediately unbearable
>>
>>147158074
I think Korra would be happier if she had a time traveler teach her to not be a stubborn idiot.
>>
>>147158584
There was a mini comic with kid Korra?
>>
>>147158725
>belly
What were they thinking with that anyways? She almost looks pregnant in some shots.
>>
>>147158074
she hardly suffered at all except for a few lost fights wounding her pride
>>
>>147163665
Aang didn’t lose Appa, Appa was stolen from him. There’s a huge difference. One is the result of his own action or lack of ability, the other is because the writers needed Appa taken from him.
>>
>>147163801
...yes it's posted right there anon
>>
>>147164938
>She almost looks pregnant in some shots.
If I time travelled to this version of her she definitely would be.
>>
>>147164938
It's baby fat, that's just what kids look like.
>>147159093
If you look here she's supposed to be 4 years old.
>>
>>147158779
It pisses me off that Korra can just bend at a young age. I will never stop seething about it.
>>
>>147166919
It looks because it's just her tummy, usually it's more uniform.
But her hands and legs aren't plump enough and more trim and also she obviously doesn't act like a 4 year old.
>>
>>147166957
It looks weird* I mean
>>
>>147158272
Why didn't you hit her with the:

Give it a rest, you got a free island and the fire nation voluntarily gave up their empire with Zuko.
We don't need more earth bender immigrants diggers as they call each other "employing themselves with the petty criminals in the former fire nation colonies
No i don't care if you call me a fiery 3rd comet supporter i just research Republic city crime statistics

It's quite the opposite actually most inuits are quite fat since all they eat is meat and blubber.
Also alcoholics, but that's our fault not theirs.

Yeah, that mercury poisoning being solved with decades of physical therapy was sure an asspull
>>
>>147166828
Ok yeah I see how that question seemed really obvious. I guess I meant to ask more where was it from? It's such a short comic that I doubt it could have been a standalone or something. Was it part of some larger Korra comics? I didn't even know Korra had gotten comics. I though only the original series did.

uoh korra belly
