It didn't deserve the hate, it's good
>>151310354Made for Ryona
I haven’t watched the show since it aired. And a part of me is tempted to do a rewatch to see if the parts that I disliked when I first saw it would still annoy me or not. Also, Korra is cute as fuck. That’s another reason why I’m tempted to give it another go.
only chuds hate strong women who are allowed to make mistakes
>>151310354The Last Airbender is like the Star Wars original trilogy, classic hero's journey in a universe with fun lore, clearly family orientated but manages to appeal to everyone. The Legend of Korra is like the worst parts of the Star Wars prequels and sequels, in terms of lore, changes, pandering (and it came out before the Star Wars sequels). They desperately wanted the show to be "mature" but some how it feels less mature than TLA. Look at how all the themes were ruined or subverted:>How are non-benders treated? Doesn't matter, evil blood bender villain!>How does the modern world conflict with the spirit world? Who cares, shit on the lore and Dark Avatar time!>How do archaic regimes collapse? Dime store Bane wants to kill the Avatar!>What happens when fascism rises? Giant fucking mech!Every single one of these themes could really be interesting to explore and world build! Korra is a hot head who they tried to have a character arc of being more diplomatic but it felt weird when they did it, very boring direction of scenes when she stood around talking and she constantly failed but not in an interesting way. The love triangle bullshit was some of the worst part, just designed to appeal to one part of the fan base. And pandering and talking to Tumblr is part of the reason why they did so much love triangle stuff as well as why they prioritised cheap twists rather than mature themes because that audience ate that up. TLA is great, TLoK is alright and it really fucking sucks because all the pieces were there to make something great. I can't fault the coomers though.
>shit on korra for winning>shit on korra for losingno fucking middle ground with korra haters.now the problem isn't that the writing is bad, it's the same action story writing as ever except these faggots wouldn't piss themselves in anger if a MALE character did the same things korra did.their issue is that it's a female doing the same dumb action movie things a male does.
>>151310414I'm a gigantic degenerate for muscly brown lesbians. LoK is bad. And it's because of mistakes made by the show runners, not the main character.
>>151310473A part of me does wonder if this show would’ve gotten a bit less shit thrown its way if Korra had been a guy instead.
>>151310473The issue isn't any of that. The issue is, TLA is simplistic in a good way. TLA has pretty classic characters and clear arcs all wrapped in a good world/lore. Korra's problem is more than it promised more but delivered little on that whilst getting the simple stuff wrong. I don't think it is a bad show, I think it is alright. I just think it has a lot of promise and good basis but failed in a lot of places.The only reason people punish it more is because if the show was outright terrible, that would be easier to swallow than it just being alright but missing the mark a bunch.
>>151310354Korra deserves the hate insofar that a sequel from a 10/10 being kind of dogwater in certain parts is inexcusable. Is Amon and her uncle ending up as boring/stupid arcs terrible? No. But when you're the sequel to Airbender you should understand thematic payoff for antagonists. Like Azula and Ozai being great endings never happened?Korrasami was just icing on the cake of being an out of touch piece of garbage. E;R, when are you going to finish your youtubes on this?
>>151310354My favorite part of Korra is how Korra and friends try to assassinate Kuvira between peace talks in the middle of a cease fire and it just gets brushed aside after it blows up in her face.
>>151310414Faggot
>>151310354>
>>151310915What happened during Peacekeepers that it ate shit so much harder than every other season 2 ep?
>>151310915Season 2 moved from Saturday morning to Friday night with no notice or advertisement.Season 3 & 4 moved to online only with no notice or advertisement.They started airing it again when the streaming numbers were strong, but again, with no notice or advertisement.
>>151310851That's not what happened, utube baby.
>>151310354......and other huge lies.
Remember as part of Korra's training, she was forced to be spend 24/7 being naked.
>>151311317That is what happened >Oh but Korra wasn’t there! Makes no difference
>>151310354>>151310399>it didn't deserve the hate>it's good>made for ryona2/3 are true
>>151310509>A part of me does wonder if this show would’ve gotten a bit less shit thrown its way if Korra had been a guy instead.Most likely just shat on and then quickly forgotten. The show is a disappointment regardless if the main character is male or not. If anything Korra being a hot female gives the show some longevity.
>>151310473>>151310509>>151310565>>151311443I actually like korra for being sexy. I was mad at the show and didnt watch it back as a teen because it wasnt a direct sequel to ATLA and featured a new cast instead>>151310781I hope E;R fucking kills himself
>>151311351That's right, you're wrong.
>>151310354Everyone’s entitled to there own opinion, my opinion is it’s shit and the majority seems to agree so please keep seething.
>>151311066the previous episode
>>151310354Season 1 was kino unironically. Everything after sucked.
>>151311703It was ok at best.
i think their greatest accomplishment was making a brown tomboy i find utterly unattractive
>>151311703The only part of Korra I’ve seen is Amon’s backstory and I like it in a vacuum, but him pretending to be a non bender and his brother casually trying to murder Korra seem really dumb
>>151311703>let's waste time with pro-bending>worthless protagonist>love triangle>korra needs spiritual evolution to air bend>actually amon unlocks korra's air bending cuz why not>also his brother kills him and all's solved>super boring version of zuko and sokka liteHow do people like this? There's some interestiing stuff but it's way outnumbered by the unwatchable.
>>151310354Seasons 1 and 3 are interesting, 2 and 4 are not.
>>151311818> There's some interestiing stuff but it's way outnumbered by the unwatchable.True, it's conceptually interesting, but letdown in execution. Why it ended up so much inferior I don't know but have always wondered. There's no reason retards need to be the ones writing in animation studios. It doesn't make sense to me. Maybe it's just really hard finding the talent over so many applicants for the job of being a writer.>How do people like this?They don't, they like porn about 2 characters from the show and that's it really.
>>151311481>I hope E;R fucking kills himselfthis but because he became one of those fags who chose streaming over making videos
>>151310354It's... serviceable.
>>151311341wtf is that true?
It was fine. Like it was made for little kids, so who am I to get upset about it. The writing could have been tightened up, and there was some liberal bullshit in there, but it's like conflict resolution for kids, not political instruction for adults.
>>151310448>>How are non-benders treated? Doesn't matter, evil blood bender villain!Missed potential. I blame writers and also Nickalodeon had issues about topics for their show.Reminds me of Generator Rex where an antagonist shows he is more effective at dealing with Evos (basically monsters) than the protagonist faction, Providence. But instead of containing and curing, he seeks to kill them. But everyone has the potential to mutate into an Evo due to the plot of the show establishing the world is contaminated with nanites (nano machines that fuck up your dna).But then the twist was that this antagonist was staging his Evo attacks to look good and create a private militia.TLDR: instead of exploring what would happen if another person with a different solution is liked by the public more than you and is effective, they just made him a liar.
>>151310354It was weaker than the original show and squandered its potential of doing early 20th-century fantasy
>>151311703Amon had so much aura, it's still insane that they managed to fuck him up
>>151310873found the gay chuddie
Sometimes it's okay to accept that something is just bad.
>>151314132>Missed potential. I blame writers and also NickalodeonI don't see it as Nickelodeon's fault, I just see it as cheap writing. The simple thing is to just follow the theme; simple isn't bad, it's narratively satisfying and can be interesting if you have something to say. But Korra was at the forefront of the whole subverting expectations and twists thing, which is simply not narratively satisfying, it's more meta to provide wild twists an online audience won't see coming. And pleasing the Tumblr audience was a big part of this. GRRM once described this like a writer making a whodunnit, the audience guessing the killer based on clues, so the writer randomly changes who the killer was for meta reasons. They have a twist now that makes no sense and isn't satisfying just because they desperately wanted to please the audience. But hollow and cheap surprise is not interesting, which is why TLA is more satisfying. The easiest way to connect it to Avatar? Have Amon be much older, maybe he was injured in the war, in a battle between Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation as a boy and blames all benders. If you want a twist or to connect to a future season, have him connect to a vengeful spirit somehow. Instead the blood bending gangster angle and connections with the gang were cheap and boring. And the non-bender theme is so badly done. Bolin and Mako just say lol but we're poor but benders, there is a riot one episode, and that's practically it. In the end, in perfect neoliberal status quo bullshit, the council accepts two non-bender representatives, basically refuting that the core conflict of the season had any issues because it is all wrapped up in a neat bow, cementing they they had nothing to say about the nature of things or society. They turned an interesting theme and paradigm shift into window dressing nothing burger. Korra's theme should have been change. The modern world, modern technology, the old world is gone and these new conflicts should have mattered.
>tfw no prankster brapbending gf
>>151314044>Like it was made for little kidsThe show was purposefully not made for kids. That's the crazy part. TLA was clearly made for kids. But it still touched on themes like genocide and war. For me this is like the Batman the animated series approach, it's a show for kids but you stretch what you can do in interesting ways, working in your limits but producing something beyond them.Korra was meant to be the more mature show, hence why it had darker themes, darker moments (Zaheer straight pulling the air out of someone), more romance. This was more for teens or older fans, particularly in how it addresses the shipping community who talked endlessly about TLA (Zuko/Katara shit). And yet somehow, despite not having the limits imposed on TLA, it had less to say, it's political takes were that liberal bullshit. This is bad writing. Or maybe it's simply that having limits inspired creativity in TLA about getting around those limits. Whilst no limits in Korra made it aimless.
>writers are two middle aged men>we really need to impress people and Nickelodeon with this first season>90% of it is a teenage girl in a love triangle and endless dramaWhat were they thinking?
>>151310354It didn't but first season turned a great villain into shit and second had a shitty one all the way
>>151315802>What were they thinking?Writers are vainglorious and they go online to read about themselves. The people heaping praise on them the most are the perpetually online types, in particular the shippers, on Tumblr. TLA practically fueled modern shopping culture with Katara and Zuko. They think that if they lean into this and give this audience what they want then it will result in even more satisfaction and praise. The writers even talked to this audience, got feedback for future seasons.
>>151310473>now the problem isn't that the writing is badNo, it really is bad. Korra herself is ok, but the extended cast is flat and boring. The thematic development is all over the place. I think they actually had an interesting premise in season 1. Korra being the inverse of Aang, entangling her very sense-of-self with her role as the Avatar, and creating the perfect foil for that in Amon and the equalists. Then they shit all over it with a stupid melodramatic twist. The ending to s1 is embarrassingly bad. Second season shat all over the worldbuilding, fucking dark avatar - it's like a bad fanfic. Seasons 3 and 4 were better, but they still weren't great.All of that to say, that there is 100% a sexist component to the criticism of Korra, but don't let that distract you from the fact that Korra is still fucking shit.
I actually liked season 4.
>>151310781Korra is shit, and E;R is a fucking retard.
>>151310781>E;R, when are you going to finish your youtubes on this?Sorry he's too busy being a lazy streamerfaggot now and earning 10 times as much.
It’s a pretty bad show, but I liked the pseudo-1920’s aesthetic and the porn is 10/10.
Korra should have been a street urchin from Republic City. The White Lotus are stuffy and set in their ways, they want her to maintain balance. But because of how she was raised in the streets she becomes the Avatar of Change. The seasons themes, equality, spirit world, revolution, chaos and war, would all reflect this. Maybe her actions as the Avatar of Change inspired Zaheer and she's blames for the chaos? Aang maintained balance because the world was out of balance. But for Korra, changing things would represent a new balance. Fighting to improve things. This would fix a bunch of issues.
Not only does it deserve the hate, it deserves more hate because the haters are often retards and do softball nitpicks while missing fundamental shit I can articulate better. You'll see shit like "I don't like S2 but the Wan episodes are good" or "Zaheer is a good character", complete morons.
>>151310851>Korra haters are just making shit up now
>>151315889Never seen anyone praise Wan. Wan is like some midichlorians shit. It's like a double down. People disliked lion turtle ass pull, now let's connect the lion turtle to all bending, giving people the power? The original explanation that people bent energy within themselves and then learnt from nature is perfect. Connects to the Guru too. They try and imply Wan sort of did that too with a background montage of training but eh.And Zaheer is shit, dime store Bane, his philosophical musings are all pseudo intellectual bullshit. But aesthetically people liked him. His grand plan in the end:>Kill Avatar>??????>Profit
>>151315889>what if.... no government???wow, what a complex baddie
>>151315909No one's stopping you talking, faggot
>>151310354why must you turn this board into a house of lies?
>>151315918Peoples understanding of politics is so basic that, lol anarchy, was some how interesting to them? >what if... Red Lotus???
>>151315917When Korra was coming out people praised the Wan episodes. I guess the lore changes didn't really matter to that group
Yeah TLOK didn't deserve hate, especially given the other abhorrent shit that was airing on Nickelodeon around that time (Fanboy and Chum Chum, Sanjay & Craig, Pig Goat Banana Cricket, ect) it was the only good thing they had.
>>151310354It started off good, yes, but quickly fell to shit by the third act of S2. The villains were all good though.
>>1513119014 could have been good if there were some sexual tension between Korra and the evil woman.
>>151310354Yeah it is except it still gets a lot of hate from chuds because it was brave enough to have the very first lesbian couple.
>>151310354No, it'd be mediocre if it didn't have the pedigree of a far better setting to back it up, and all the shitty retcons it made to the setting just make it worse in hindsight. Nobody gives a shit about some evil carpet stuck in a tree for a villain after how insane a ball drop that Amon was. And Korra being an annoyingly self-absorbed girlboss tween wasn't the cause of the bad writing, just a symptom of it.
>>151316452>implying the hated wasn't there long before (the end of) S4Yes I know I'm responding to bait.
>>151310354I liked the game more than the actual series.and the only thing they had going for me was Korra in a vaccum, and her villans (1 before the backstory, 3's villans and MAYBE 4, but I dropped it before finishing it)
>>151310354The hate is only 4chan. Everyone loves it.
>>151310915DELETE THIS YOU FUCKING CHUD
>>151316575Shut up.
>>151316575Do you want me to pull up all the tiktoks of people celebrating their korra hate on tiktok or do you just wanna continue blaming the abysmal writing on sexism like the cowardly faggot you are?
>>151310354It's ok.
>>151310448Itll never not be funny to me that they made the eskimo an eskimo sister in the very last second of the series while completely ruining the world by permanently opening the spirit world. And I mean that in universe not out of universe. It's like at least immigrants in real life arent fucking spirits who can steal your face or whatever.
>>151310354Its a highly satanic show because it has a FEMINAZI and prommotes the false religion of Buddhism. This show was made to upset christians
>>151310354Oh it's the girl who ended the avatar cycle
>>151316729Good. Fuck boomers
>>151316715Grow a pair, you subhuman.
>>151316731Turns out the avatar was just a tapeworm so she did everyone a favor
Most of the criticism the show gets is from retards who don't know the difference between disliking Korra as a person and disliking her as a character. They call her a Mary Sue even though she's the anti-Aang who fails at everything she does until she's crippled and mindbroken. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to not like the show (every season besides 3 has a retarded ending) but most of the hate is unironic sexism.
>brown>lesbian>most talented benderGee I wonder why you cant discuss it on 4cHaN?
>>151316756>lesbianAre we really going to keep pretending like one vague scene at the very end of the show has any bearing on her as a character?
>>151316748This. The people you're arguing with didn't even watch the show.
>>151316748>>151316822Nah, she's a homewrecker and a hotheaded socially inept moron. She's only given as much leeway as she does from retards who fantasize about heterocorrect-fucking underage brown girl lesbians, if she was a boy she'd have fujos for defenders and thus next to nobody on her side.
i could upload a lina inverse picture and explain in detail why korra is a frustrating character who never grows and why it's not the same as being frustrated with her being an anti herobut i think i've literally done that over a dozen times so just imagine there's a lina inverse picture attached to this post and that you've watched all of slayers next so you know how the right way to handle an anti heroine and still give them development worksalso slayers next went for the kiss, pussy ass korra went for hand holding
>>151316822It isn’t isolated to only Korra either. Gundam witch from Mercury. Lesbian main character. had the same chuds spamming Their threads with nonsense. Most successful show in gundam history. Can’t discuss it on /a/.
>>151317002It was crap for other reasons, but the only people who really talk about it are people who ship the brown red-headed autist and the white-haired autist. Like no joke, I know several trannies that explicitly hate everything about the show except the lesbians. They hate the robot fighting, they hate the politics, they hate the male characters, they hate most of the sci-fi talk, but having lesbians makes it it their favorite gundam show despite saying they'd never watch it otherwise. Those are the people that love witch from mercury.
>>151317002G witch also went for the whole "they're lesbians but we're only going to confirm it via a twitter interview rather than just show that to be the case in the actual show" cop out. Yuritards tried doing a victory lap with it anyways
>>151317002G Witch is gay and retarded because of the school setting and all the gay anime tropes that came with it
>>151316748Most frustrating part is that all of her failures are indeed her fault, which is interesting writing-wise, except it keeps happening until S4 and I'm pretty she doesn't get a single win against a villain.
>“Anon, we can’t let Vaatu destroy the breadbasket of Africa!”>“I’ll never let the marxists take you from me!”>“Of course I’m white, Anon, I’m the Avatar!”
>>151318052Look there's a difference between a character who learns and grows from their failures, versus one who keeps making the same retarded mistake(usually bumrush the villain alone after being played like a fiddle by them) and is somehow rewarded for it, but never in a way that is satisfying to the audience.Like Miruko from BNHA - she bumrushes the villain recklessly and it turns out to have been the right move that cripples the main antagonist and prevents him from becoming even more busted than he already was. Korra never has a moment vindicating her mistakes, she is rewarded DESPITE them, not BECAUSE of them, there is no Lina Inverse "Just nuke the elves first" moment, no Kiritsugu "Plant C4 explosives on the foundation of the villain's evil lair to bypass it entirely" moment, it's just retardation followed by asspull followed by retardation followed by asspull
>>151318195How is she rewarded for her failures? Season 1 ends with her getting ready to kill herself before Aang bails her out with his mary sue powers, season 2 ends with her losing her past lives, season 3 ends with her crippled and crying and season 4 ends with her being gay and causing the apocalypse.
>>151310354>I'm the Avatar, and that means I'm gonna chose for the entire world what's right and wrong! Oh, you don't like it? Well though shit, I'm the avatar!Yeah, fuck her. Aang never had his head this far up his own ass.
>>151318337I guess because everything the villain loses in the end through asspulls despite the fact she doesn't do anything right, but when talking about she herself, she just gets violated over and over, yeah.
>>151318195I think the only time she tried to bumrush the villain in an act of arrogance was in B1
>>151318393The most asspully villain defeat was Vaatu I can’t even remember what happened, spirit Jinora like turns Korra into a big blue monster and she MMA fights Unavaatu. Fever dream shit. But defeating Amon, Zaheer and Kuvira didn’t really feel too asspully. Especially Zaheer; B3 by far felt like the best written season, Korra sacrificing herself to save the airbenders was when she felt the most Avatar-y and the airbenders saving her in return felt like actual good narrative writing with intention.
>>151310354The backhalf of S1 and all of S2 100% deserves the hate. S3 is actually pretty good while S4 is fine.
>>151318441She literally got gifted airbending by... Amon's chi blocking or something? It's not a fever dream but it's an asspull regardless and incredibly lame considering how the season had treated airbending so far, or rather how the entire franchise treated it. But yeah, the asspulls were really in only two of the seasons.
Season 1 is peak (yes, even the pro-bending). I wish Nickelodeon had approved the four seasons from the start so they didn’t have to rush an ending, and they could have built around the themes and conflict started here.Season 2 was ass, the lore changes are weird, and Korra and Mako’s relationship problems make no sense.Season 3 is ok, but Harmonic Convergence really does undo any of the stress Tenzin had as ‘the last airbending master’ trying to rebuild his father’s nation. It also turns him leaving Lin for the home wrecking whore, Pema, a waste.Season 4 is peak if Kuvira won because, without any exception, she is the better person when compared to her opposition. She is objectively what the shattered Earth Kingdom needs, the replacement option for her is ALWAYS retard Prince Wu, and she handles the heroes with far more integrity than the reverse.Also Suyin Beifong is complete and utter shit. The entire conflict of season 4 is escalated for no reason the second she involves herself in something. Kuvira exercised great restraint by not beheading her after the assassination attempt during a truce. Also can we talk about how EVERY ONE OF KORRA’S MENTORS/ALLIES IS RETARDED? Tenzin is an idiot, hard carried by his voice actor being Simmons. Lin is useless and hamstrings Korra from doing anything. Pema directly tells Korra to start the love triangle bullshit. Korra’s father giving her up to the White Lotus compound left her spiritually stunted and ignorant of so much. The only Team Avatar characters I like are Bolin and Pabu. And honestly? Bolin should have gotten Korra. Their one date shows her having far more enjoyment with one another than her interactions with Mako or Asami.
>>151318441>But defeating Amon, Zaheer and Kuvira didn’t really feel too asspully.Korra somehow unlocked airbending, which she struggled with entirely because of a lack of spiritual discipline and cool-headedness, by getting really angry and throwing a punch at Amon. That’s pretty asspully. She should have had ALL her bending locked and figured out how to beat Amon with unorthodox methods, like how the whole fucking Pro Bending arc was teaching her.
The only thing I like in the whole show, is when they fought that fire bending chick from season 3. They covered her head with metal mask, when she was about to shoot, and she exploded her head. LMAO, that was metal.
>>151318568Zaheer stealing the air from the queen’s lungs and we see her suffocate was badass too
>>151316748Ctrl f mary sue and you were the first to mention it ITT and only one other mentioned it responding to you, your post is bait. The majority of the criticism ITT is not sexism.
>>151318733tbf no need to mention the obvious
>>151318733A lot of the counter criticisms to diminish Korra critics are inherently dishonest and written in a way where they deliberately don't understand or correctly interpret why people dislike Korra.
>>151318478S3's magical spirit admin server rebalancing air bending distribution is the reason I don't think there's a single good season. Well, that and that the "Krew" has zero charisma, so even a good plot without retarded choices is hard to sit through.
>>151318478Suyin's character is one of the reasons why Korra is a show that doesn't stand up to time and aged like milk because Bryke clearly are using the character as a stand-in so that they can whine about how monarchy and autocracy are le heckin evil in sharp contrast to how progressive and enlightened Suyin and Zaofu are.
>>151319001I like Suyin because the Beifong sisters are hot hags
>>151319001It’s retarded for so many reasons. For starters, she’s an autocrat of a city state that employs ‘truth seers’ to essentially read her subject’s minds like a dystopia. And her personal guy turns out to be a traitor, so who knows how many people she wrongfully imprisoned at his suggestion.And literally everything about Kuvira’s actions is either outright good or understandable. Suyin would rather let innocents starve or be raped and murdered by bandits than take power and restore order in a crisis. Kuvira single handedly saved her country, and we see her show an insane amount of clemency. Bandits who should rightfully be executed? They get a second chance in her army. Townspeople and commoners? Fed properly and protected. Bryke tries to act like her extracting taxation from them in exchange is wrong, but that’s how all fucking societies work. Being part of a nation means you contribute to the whole, and the group protects you. How the hell could Kuvira’s army function as a pure charity? Refusing to step down so Prince Wu could take the throne? Amazing thing to do. Until the very end of the very last episode there is no indication that Prince Wu will do a good job, nor is the ‘I step down for le democracy’ brought up before then either. It’s just assumed that Kuvira needs to be replaced by him. Also stepping down for a democracy in the immediate aftermath of a glorified coup that just Barry managed to reunite a country after three years of anarchy and thousands of years of feudalism is not a recipe for success anyway. Any of Kuvira’s worst traits are entirely a response to how Team Avatar, the Beifongs, and the United Republic refuse to help Kuvira or actively threaten and antagonize her into paranoia. For fuck’s sake, when Raiko surrenders they kidnap the peace delegation!>>151319001>>151319396I would let Lin milk me dry and send Tenzin photographs of my jizz on her face.
>>151310354Nah it's absolutely awful. Season 2 in particular pretty much destroyed the IP. Its why the next show is nuking the entire verse.
>>151319608>Korra is so bad, they destroy everything she built as apologyLMAO
>>151310354I didn't hate Korra, I hated the writers for butchering the world building Loved season 3 though
>>151319711They did it so they could go explore the world again like in the original series. And that poor new girl will only have Korra to talk with so she's fucked x2
>>151318849They hide behind labels of bigot and homophobe even when the lesbian thing is sort of just viewed, at worst, as like shit cherry to top the diaheria sundae
>>151310354Last Airbender is mid until halfway through season 2. Season 1 is a fucking slog, and I'm tired of people pretending otherwise. Korra's only real sin was the love triangle bullshit, everything else is on par with ATLA s2
>>151319870Tourist with a shit opinion.Everyone agrees atla book 3 was the weakest and spottiest in writing quality. Even at its worst, AtLA was still Citizen Kane compared to Korra's peak moments. Sit your ass down and shut up.
>>151319954Do not post on my board again, underage tourist.
>>151319870Holy wrong
>>151319954Honestly, the only shit part of ATLA storytelling, was the deus ex machine lion turtle, who solved Aang moral problem. That was lame.
Luv me Asami simple as
>>151320022>no uWhoa, you sure showed us, fagtard.
>>151320141Hottest girl in Avatar. Deserves better than Korra.
>>151319954ATLA season 1 is significantly worse than season 3, and I’ll be honest TLOK season 3 slaps
>>151320300Yes
>>151320125>Whoops, looks like our plan to assassinate the firelord during the eclipse didn't work out. Let's surrender so they take us alive.
>>151310354>meh it world worldbuilding sucked ass>the technological advance was too fast considering she came after Aang, should've a Earth avatar for that>her team sucked ass, generic and full of jobbers, except for Asami>They don't know how many seasons they have, so they're forced to finiash the villains at the end of each season, mostly in the most in anti climatic waysnot bad but barely good
>>151320362>TLOK season 3 slapswhat a completely original opinionI'm sure you didn't bag that from someone else with zero critical thinking
>>151320543The world of ATLA is like the 1860s-1880s. For the record we went from something like the USS Constitution being a state of the art ship in 1812 to powered flight in 1912. In ATLA industrial manufacturing exists, as well as coal powered ironclads, and other forms of mechanization. The tech growth is fine.
>>151320148Nobody asked, redditor.
>>151320543>>the technological advance was too fast The technological advance was never the problem. The problem was it was a window dressing and with nothing to say. Everything in Korra is a window dressing. Republic City good idea, but not an interesting place, what's it's real culture, who knows. Technology, the changing world, aging regimes, need for change, all fertile ground for stories and conflicts. And the show touches on some of them but to no good extent.
>>151317002>defending Gwitch
>>151320579the only problem with B3 is the villains are so cool and fun to watch they should have lasted longer than 1 season, during the first airing of the season everyone was rooting for them to survive the season
>>151310781>E;R, when are you going to finish your youtubes on this?I just want that S;G vid desu>>151311481>>151311989>>151315860you gotta pay the bils somehow.
>>151321476This shits on a lot of stuff out there. Cartoons nowadays can't even do "expressive". Seung Eun Kim is really good.
>bad thing is LE GOOD ackshuallyGet new material.
>>151317002>Gundam witch from Mercury. Lesbian main character. had the same chuds spammingGwitch was so shit kek literally only cared about by yuritards. I remember them actually debating how the women could impregnate other women in the future and get rid of men
>>151321578you know it's good when the "ugly" season looks like this lol
>>151310354Good art, good animation, good sound. All of it is let down by dogshit writing. Every time I rewatch it after gaslighting myself that it can't be as bad as I remember, I find new things to hate about the writing.
>>151321476Book 3 introduced Su, which cannot be forgiven. Also at some point I realized how stupid it is that the Red Lotus just conveniently have a secret mountain lair complete with a bunch of uniformed mooks.
>>151319578If I remember correctly, Wu was just going to be a powerless puppet anyway, who was going to be surrounded by Republic City advisors at all times, making him the Earth King was just a move by Republic City to curb Kuvira's growing power base
>>151318363>Aang never had his head this far up his own ass>put the entire world at risk because he didn't want to kill Ozai even with everyone near him and all the past Avatars telling him to stop fucking around>put multiple villages in danger because he wanted to do idiotic shit>zero sense of urgency in the middle of a fucking war until the very endAang's head was constantly up his own ass, the story just bent over backwards to make things magically work out.
>>151322091I understand that complaint, but as I got older I kind of appreciate this dilemma more and respect Aang keeping to his principles. Since he’s the last air nomad their teachings are their last legacy, you can say it ties into the name of the show “The Last Airbender.” And I wouldn’t say Aang had no agency. Considering this is such a common complaint the show probably could have foreshadowed this outcome better.
>>151322267>I kind of appreciate this dilemma more and respect Aang keeping to his principles. By having the plot bendover backwards to give him an easy way out... i could never respect that, and it's dishonest how people continue to frame it as anything but a massive deus ex to excuse it. Korra is as bad if not worse as a MC from a writing perspective, but unlike Aang she wasn't surrounded by better characters to carry her show.
>>151322091Killing Ozai was always a false dilemma anyway, as it's presented in the show. Once the comet passed, he wasn't THAT big of a threat. The audience has to externally supply that there's a political necessity for Ozai to be killed or at least maimed, but the show itself doesn't really suggest anything to that effect. All the characters just sort of collectively shrug and say it's probably for the best.Really, the finale is just shoddily written in general. It's almost completely carried by how fucking hard it pays out on the action.
>>151317002>Most successful show in gundam history.GQuuuuux exist and don't even mention Seed
>>151319608It's frankly impressive how bad they fucked up the world. You can literally walk through a door to the spiritual plane lmfao, it's so bad. I don't want to fellate Ehasz too hard, but you can tell who was responsible for the spirit world in the og.
>>151317002>GWitch.>Most successful.>While Seed is around.>While GQuacks mogged it.
>>151322759Maybe Aang could've just frozen him like he did himself. Not too pacifist of him, but he also did beat the shit out of him so we're striclty talking Batman "no kill but do everything else" rules here.
>>151310354its like fallout 4 but avatar, it just shits on the lore.
>>151323431Or hand him over to the White Lotus to put him in a jail cell in the north pole or whatever. It really doesn't matter. We can imagine all the political consequences of loyalists wanting to free him and restore him to the throne, but whatever. Sounds on par for an AtLA comic plot.
Yes it did, no it's not
>>151322412The show says the technique only worked because of Aang’s will and if he doubted himself he would have been consumed by Ozai’s evil, so the show was trying to reward Aang for his character and cap off his arc rather than just cowing to his predecessors who have in their own ways failed the world on repeat. They could have set it up better, have Aang journey for this power making it more rewarding but stretching this out over episode(s) might have just made it boring. It’s obviously not perfectly executed considering this is by far the biggest complaint levied at the show.
>The hate is only 4chan. Everyone loves it.Bait use to be believable
>>151323610Aang didn't know about the White Lotus
>>151310354GIANT MOTHERFUCKING DEATH ROBOT
>TLoK fans shitting on TLATLA isn't perfect, I agree with many of the criticisms but shitting on it doesn't make TLoK any better. Korra fans never address the weakness of the plots, themes and characters because they think some stuff looks cool and think season 3 was good because of it. TLA doesn't have those same expectations because it didn't push a bunch of themes and characters then absolutely ruin them. TLA revels in simplicity and satisfying stuff whilst clearly stumbling in places, particularly the ending. TLoK promises depth but isn't satisfying at all.
>>151323743>The show says the technique only worked because of Aang’s will and if he doubted himself he would have been consumed by Ozai’s evilWhich has nothing to do with the fact that he didn't find this solution himself.>so the show was trying to reward Aang for his character and cap off his arc rather than just cowing to his predecessors who have in their own ways failed the world on repeat.rewarding him for having a temper tantrum over his predicament and running away only to conveniently run into the turtles?>They could have set it up betterUnderstatement of the decade.The problem has always been that the execution is so bad that it makes whatever message about conviction here null and void. you basically have to ignore any semblance of build up to buy into aang's convictions, removing any weight they may have in the process.
>>151324137You should not engage in honest faith debate with Korra fans. Just mock them and ragebait them
>>151317002You don't have to go to /a/ to figure out the schizo targets a hard on for brown lesbian characters. The Owl House is impossible to discuss here either. They're all very successful shows. You just can't discuss them on 4chan thanks to our local schizo.
>>151317002Are you going to cry about "only secondaries hate WfM" next?
I think the pointy rock is worse than the lion turtle
>>151326314They should've made the opening the chakras Aang's journey in season 3 - and then he finally unlocks them in the finale. They blew their load too early putting that shit in the s2 climax.
