They couldn't possibly have made a gayer design for a new Avatar protagonist if they fucking tried.

Is "bryke" going full Paul with korra so fans have someone to hate rather then be called low talent idiots.
>>
>>153330215
how was korra supposed to know about the dark avatar or avoid getting her spirit ripped out of her body
>>
>>153330215
you think the writers are going to blame korra for the apocalypse or breaking the avatar cycle? lol, lmao even.

Korra is the only pertinent Avatar to begin with.

I will continue to point this out, but people mistake the past life guidance thing for being some sort of omniscient, infinitely useful database. It isn't. Aang was only useful to Korra because he was the one who had indirectly caused the entire Amon situation and she was dealing with his shit. Roku was only useful to Aang for very very general Avatar questions and dealing with the Fire Nation situation, which he had indirectly caused by failing--Aang was dealing with his shit. Kyoshi was only useful to Aang in the narrow situation where he was directly dealing with shit he had caused, and Kuruk was only useful once when they were dealing with Koh, a spirit he had personally fought. A previous life's usefulness is directly proportional to how involved/responsible they are for the shit you are dealing with.

Do you know who will have actual advice and information to give when Pavi is dealing with the situation that Korra is "responsible for"?

Korra.

What the fuck do Kyoshi, a warrior who fought foot soldier armies, or Szeto, a feudal accountant who spent his life dealing with peasant farmer relief, know about dealing with a hybridized spirit human world? About non-bender uprisings or chi-blockers? About gangs? About the seven havens? About the cataclysm? About the scavenged technology that people are using?

Korra is the one who was there when the cataclysm happened. She is the one who has dealt with keeping the peace between humans and spirits in the same world. She is the one who knows spirit bending to cleanse dark spirits and metal bending to deal with metal benders. She is the one who has dealt with equalists and mayors of settlements and fought armies using modern technology, and was fucking an industrialist. She is the one who made the seven havens to begin with. She is the one who knows about Raava and Vaatu and the portals.

Roku is a guy who died 200 years ago and fought some long dead king.

Avatar? like the things on the Xbox 360?

Roku? like the TV box company?

No, you're thinking of TiVo

I kind of want to watch ATLA again and ignore everything else in this poor, tortured franchise.

what about wan?
>close the spirit portals, you dumb bitch!
>>
we hate korra now?
>>
>>153331835
>keeping the peace
She literally did the opposite and undid the only good thing the first avatar ever did.
>>
>>153332332
I hate korra but also find her very attractive and would not mind having sex with the fictional character
>>
you're feet. my mouth.

>>153332332
Whorra is a fucking bitch who ruined everything.
>>
>>153330215
I ask he how the past lives before were wiped out, I proceed to do that to her.
>>
>>153330215
It really can be a kino idea.
Korra gets to see the consequences of her actions. And now is ill fit to teach the new generation to not make her same mistakes.
>>
>>153331835
Yeah, what the fuck piece of shit advice do those old farts have to give? Unlike Korra, who is hip, cœl and has good knowledge
>>
>>153331835
The new Avatars only source of knowledge is from a fuck up who probably couldn't give a solid answer about how to mitigate situations through conversation and trading
>>
>Everyone remembers Korra as a big fuckup
>Nobody blames Raiko, Tenzin, and the White Lotus

Everything turned to shit because Republic City Illuminati fucked the world for their own greed and the White Lotus raising her wrong and stunting her growth.
>>
>>153333762
Zaheer was right
>>
>>153330215
I'm the Avatar. Now YOU gotta deal with it!
>>
>>153330357
why'd they add a dark avatar or even objective good/evil spirits bound inseparably to the avatar if they didn't want to ruin their story telling possibilities?
>>
>>153333762
>Republic City
Korra and/or the comics created that. Everything after ATLA is not canon.
>>
>>153331835
>No having piece of advices from people older than me and had a different background or point of view is LE BAD
>im a strong indipendent Avatar that need no advices from you old farts
>*canonically caused the apocalypse*

SHITra is a bad avatar
>>
>>153331477
>after the timeskip
>>
>>153336093
I don’t know how anyone thinks Korra’s creators are going to write her in the wrong, people blaming the Avatar for something doesn’t mean it’s actually their fault. It could be spirit shit, could be Vaatu, maybe bending is like spiral power, I would bet my left testicle Korra is innocent
>>
>>153331835
>recency bias invalidates 10000 years of lived experience
no
>>
>>153332332
Now?

Also it's more love hate, they hate her as the protagonist but many anons admit they find her hot
>>
>>153336171
If they try to whitewash her , it will 100% backfire to them.
It is sadly expected considering the kind of hacks we have currently in the industry tho…
>>

lol
>>
>>153330357
>how was korra supposed to know about the dark avatar or avoid getting her spirit ripped out of her body
I don't know, why does she trust the uncle she barely met yesterday and her sinister cousins?
>>
>>153336171
>could be spirit shit
Which she caused by keeping the portals open.
>>
>>153330215
Fist bump my idol
>>
>>153333762
>Nobody blames Raiko, Tenzin, and the White Lotus
Raiko held the city together; it was Korra who kept provoking the Equalists.
Tenzin is basically carrying the weight of an entire culture while trying to advise Korra (advice Korra ignores).
The White Lotus gave her a free education and all the necessary tools to do her job; it's not their fault Korra is naive and never calls them for anything.
>>
>>153332332
>now
Are you new?
>>
>>153336614
Trusting Unalaq after what happened the previous season with Tarrlok is some crazy shit on Korra's part, she really just never feels like she learns shit as the story progresses.
>>
>>153336209
>bro if you just gather enough people from the bronze age, they'd HAVE to good and relevant advice because there's so many of them
Don't be a fucking retard. It's not about recency bias, it's about the nature of knowledge as not universally applicable and contextually derived. You can take every storied general or military leader in the history of the world all the way up to 1900, put them all in a room and go "okay now win the war between Russia and Ukraine" and they are going to have fuck all to contribute because their 100,000 collective years of experience are years of experience in setting up firing lines, or spear and shield techniques, or chariot rushing or how to raid coastal villages with longboats and not how to deal with remotely operated explosive drones swooping in on soldiers, or rocket and artillery batteries that can pinpoint level a structure from across a country and satellite feeds that can track all ordinary movement from above.

When you need to know how to set up a youtube channel, one 14 year old is going to be more useful than every scientific mind that existed before the 19th century. It doesn't matter that the 14 year old is a half-retarded ADD kid because what you are dealing with is something that idiot kid is familiar with that those scholars don't even have the beginnings of a framework to understand.

Korra being shitty doesn't change that she is the person with the relevant experience and knowledge, not Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk or Yangchen, or anyone else besides MAYBE Wan, who Korra also already knows the story of. Kyoshi's "lol just move da island and the general will die and it's all good" isn't contributing valuable advice to how to save a village being attacked by dark spirits who also have a claim to the land. You know what is? The spirit cleansing waterbending technique that Korra knows and knowledge of having dealt with territorial disputes between humans and spirits that Korra has.
>>
>>153336774
Wan is way more knowledgeable about that then Korra and now the new girl can't talk to him OR any other avatar that might have similar experience besides maybe Korra. ESPECIALLY if Korra died right after the show ended.
>>
>>153330326
Holy cunny..
>>
>>153336774
This is why Iroh was useless as a mentor for Zuko. Zuko needed to capture the avatar, regain his honor, and return to the Fire Nation as they conquered the world. What specific knowledge would a calm tea-drinker sad about his dead son have to aid Zuko in his quest?
>>
>>153336774
>>bro if you just gather enough people from the bronze age, they'd HAVE to good and relevant advice because there's so many of them
>the core nature of mankind has changed in the past 2300 years
If youre a religious person, then the spirit is pretty firmly tied to the idea of good as set by god or some form of divinity and if youre a hardcore athiest youd be aware that 2500 years is not nearly enough time for mankind to change to a new species mentally and many of the same issues would apply. Either way its more about getting advice from someone who isnt fucking Korra cause a caveman would do a better job.
>>
Just realized all the knowledge the previous avatars had that wasn't written lost is now lost. Thanks whorra
>>
>>153331540
She needs some pants
>>
>>153336854
Hardly korras fault when they were all too lazy to do it
>>
>>153336900
Thats too much knowledge to write down. And honestly even the written stuff is fucked now since the world ended.
>>
>>153336965
>any avatar couldve had the idea
>muh avatar super memory will never be destroyed so whatever
Wiki says korra left a scrapbook for future avatars though
>>
>>153336756
Not to mention that as far as Korra knows, Noatak was never caught and he could be in disguise.
>>
>>153337190
>scrapbook
Knowing her she threw it in the sea lol. No way that thing is real

Woah i didnt see that coming

Does Zutara live rent free in Bryke's mind? Seeing as most of the writing team wished for it?
>>
>>153331835

I love how the only way to jusify Korra's actions is by accepting the writing that tars the original cast with bad decision making that happened offscreen.
This is literally Mary Sue Replaces The Protagonist writing 101. Original dude was actually bad didn't you know? So original protagonist is actually better! I am smart.

This is so fucking typical in modern media and it is so exhausting. Character assassinating beloved characters to prop up new ones is cheap and lazy and it encourages the snowball effect of never needing to write new protagonists properly.

"Hey, you're that bitch whose fault everything is! Is there literally anyone else around here I can talk to?"
>>
>>153338467
No, it's not releasing until 2027, which is weird because they announced it and described it back in 2022 or something.
