I never watched this but I've heard it was terrible. What was so bad about it?

Avatar is like Dragon Ball, or Full Metal Alchemist. Fun adventures, tight lore and word building.
Korra is like Steven Universe, or the later seasons of Adventure Time, where the head writer is cabal of fat dykes from tumblr.

Korra was great.

>Also they developed the printing press, radio, car and every technology at the same time LMAO
They had tanks, zeppelins and submarines in Aang's time. That Bending shit really speeds things along

>Dragon Ball
>Tight Lore and world building
*laughs in Android saga*

1. Explain
2.False. All of the Kingdoms existed still. The central city was Aang's attempt to unite all countries. As for hurr technology -- We're talking over a 100 years here.. Why wouldn't a bending fed industrial revolution not be grandiose?
3. Korra, Tenzen, his main daughter were pretty great.

You're not getting constructive responses after this looks like. "waah lesbians!!!!!!"

you are so wrong it's hilarious that there are people like you who unironically believe this shit and are here of all places

>explain

In ATLA:
>bending was developed as a martial art that people learned to do by mimicking the actions of legendary dragons/moles/bison/tides
In Korra:
>people got free super powers from Lion Turtles to hunt animals or something and then I guess they figured out that doing kungfu moves increases your power level for reasons
Pretty cringe

it wasnt too bad. 3>>1>season 3 was very good

It shits on the setting but I want to bang Korra

Its shit. Retards will say its awful because Korra is a dyke. Other more hipster retards will say it's good because nobody will ever say specifically why it's good lel. Retard coomers will say it's good because they wanna fuck Korra. In reality it's just overall bad because the writing is bad.

bait has really lost it's appeal when literally everyone does it in every single thread. it's all so tiresome.

This. The airbenders returning was kino and Zaheer was a great antagonist.

>What was so bad about it?

The only non truthbender in this thread

That user is right
Korra is not even a dyke in the serie. That shit just came at the end of the show, proving once again how awfully written this show is

For me, it was the absolute obliteration of the lore.
The most blatant virtue signaling I've ever seen at the very end didn't help either.

but 3 and 4 are the best seasons, albeit still shit

The whole premise of "benders bad lmao" completely shit on the spiritual foundations of the original Avatar

>muh bigots
This is Ghostbusters-tier damage control. I dropped at the end of season one when it came out because of how rushed it was. They had the perfect setup for a nice dystopia and they blew it. And this was years before 'muh lesbians'. Other anons have also expressed the problem with character development, world building and bending.

Nothing. The underlying message was that benders are bad, which is true in the show as it is in real life.

Benders are pure degeneracy.

Did you even watch the show while it was airing at all? It was clearly shit from the very first season and was shit throughout, only season three was somewhat interesting
The lesbian stuff was the biggest ass pull ever, it's barely even tied in with the story because they were too scared to go further with it

Go watch it, I found Korra a far more interesting character than Aang. The same can be said about the overall themes of their respective series.

To make matters worse, the first season was originally going to be a 6 or 8 episode miniseries. Nickelodeon increased the episode order to 10 halfway through production forcing the team to fuck up their pacing. Then after the pacing was fucked Nick ordered more seasons meaning they fucked the pacing for nothing.

OP, only Yas Forums thinks the show was terrible and that's mostly revisionism because the series ends with two girls holding hands. The second season was trash but the first and third seasons were pretty generally praised here at the time they aired. And the show is worth watching just for the third season in my opinion.

>Probably got more pussy than Aang judging by the finale
lmao

>OP, only Yas Forums thinks the show was terrible and that's mostly revisionism because the series ends with two girls holding hands.
everyone knew it was shit as it was being aired, it has nothing to do with the lesbianism
>The second season was trash but the first and third seasons were pretty generally praised here at the time they aired.
I didn't see anyone praising the first season, some people did with the third but I think we were all just thankful to see something somewhat decent

Bending looks weaker than The Last Airbender.

Korra's version of the avatar state makes her seem weaker than Aang's avatar state by far, with Aang's you knew shit was going down, with Korra it's like a multiplier that's boring to watch.

The first season is maybe worth watching if you're a masochist and hate yourself, but seasons 2, 3, and 4 are dreadful. Don't let anyone tell you season 3 is worth watching, it really isn't.

They also made the MC a lesbain probably as a fuck you to the fans in the last season.
There's no real emotion or stakes in the new show, no real goal, it's pretty boring.

They had no idea what they wanted to do after season 1, I'm pretty sure they were told to make one 12 episode season, and then were told to make a few seasons more and they didn't plan for it.
Aaron Ehasz also wasn't involved, he was the head writer ATLA, it comes off as completely different writers and creators, if you told me it was random people that made it after watching the original I'd believe you.

Honestly for me the entire show shits all over my childhood memories of ATLA, I consider it an insult, I'd rather not have ever seen it.

I just started watching the last airbender season 1. when does it get good?

It could be a total lie but I remember reading that for the first Avatar there was a large team or writers who kept Bryke's more retarded ideas in check, whereas for Korra they had less people interfering and more free reign.

horrible cast, horrible story, GREAT porn

I think the absolute worst thing is how bending completely changed between the series, it went from distinct styles between nations and even individual characters that matched their spiritual and philosophical backgrounds to "who can throw their element the hardest"

It hits its stride toward the middle/latter half of season 1, then gets better from there.
First few episodes are a bit sketchy because they didn't know what they wanted the show to be.

Pandering to the worst parts of their already notorious fanbase without even grasping what made the things they liked good

the s1 finale

Yes, it was damn cool in the first series, people had their own unique style, and then even substyles with the swamp waterbenders and such.
The new one was just pro bending and some magic bending instead of bending using forms.

Season 2 is very good then it goes downhill because season 3 is a repeat of season 1.

Toph explaining and having to teach earthbending is one of the most kino parts of the original series
Korra is just "every element is pick up and throw except airbending which is SUPER hard", and even when she spontaneously learns it she never changes her philosophy or style of fighting with it

Season 3 is still good iirc, although they lose their way towards the ending

Season 1 is a parade of boring fillers and unfortunately season 3 has the same habit.

he said DB, not DBZ

tribalism probably. there's a certain type over represented on Yas Forums that very badly needs to feel like part of a tribe

This. She has one move, punch.

>there are ACTUALLY people in this thread RIGHT NOW who can't recognise TLoK as being the steaming pile of dogshit that it was

What pissed me off the most was, almost as a 'fuck you' to the original series, they kill off all the avatars at the end, making Korra the first avatar, Gen II
Almost as if they were saying "the original series is dead to us. THIS is what Avatar is now."

Doesn't she re-establish her connection to the past avatars somehow?

It's good, just not as good as the first.

Forget the past, kill it if you have to :)

It systematically destroyed everything that was original and interesting about the Avatar setting and magic system. Throw in a bunch of god-awful storylines, wasted villains, and an entire cast of characters (besides Aang's based sons) who make you want to pull your teeth out.

Yeah this was the biggest thing for me
We used to have entire episodes dedicated to explaining and expanding the bending system. Every element had a physical component, a mental component and some spirituality attached to it.
Just of the top of my head there was
>The waterbending scroll episode were Aang first learns the waterbending basics
>The north pole waterbending lessons (although most of that was off-screen iirc)
>Iroh explaining lightning bending by taking inspiration from the other elements
>Iroh explaining metalbending as Toph discovers it
>Aang's first firebending lesson with that old general when he burns Katara
>Katara learning healing
>Aangs first earthbending lesson (an ENTIRE episode was given to this one)
>The Sun Warriors/Dragon Dance episode
>The Bloodbending episode
>The Guru teaching Aang about the Avatar state as well as a bunch of Roku scenes explaining other Avatar stuff
The only exception I can think of is Sparky-Sparky Boom Man and energy bending, which were probably the low points of the show.

But in 4 seasons of Korra
>Bloodbending without a full moon - this one family can do it for no reason
>taking people's bending away with bloodbending, never explained
>Spirit Aang giving Korra her bending back with energy bending - despite it not being energy bent away
>Unalaq can calm spirits with waterbending and Korra learns it offscreen
>Lava Bending (granted this one is pretty obvious but it would still be nice to see Bolin actually learn it by practice and not just suddenly develop it when he needs it)
>Another Sparky-Sparky Boom Bitch
>Airbenders can fly like superman now
>Random spirit lasers that Korra can now bend that also open spirit portals for some reason.
>People can turn into giant blue monsters by meditating in a spirit tree

The original was about traveling the world and dealing with something new each episode while there's a major threat looming over the main cast. Korra just sits around in one city for most of the series, there is no looming threat, it's just a class struggle until the series goes full retard and the story becomes about spirits turning crazy.
With every Avatar episode there was a sense of discovery, you're seeing new places, new people. With Korra you're tuning in to see a moody unlikeable bitch being incompetent in another love triangle episode, a sports episode or class struggle episode.
Just in terms of variety Korra sucks dick.

The worst thing Korra did though was completely butcher the lore. It doesn't seem like anyone who wrote this shit even watched Avatar The Last Airbender. They turned the avatar into a criminal who killed people and accidentally was going to destroy the world, and then the avatar merged with a spirit, and that's why the avatar is reborn. The avatar isn't the bridge between the spiritual and real world, the avatar is a sub-human criminal who got the power of reincarnation because he showed up in the right place at the right time.
When you watch Avatar The Last Airbender, Aang is just a retarded kid who is there only because in his past life he almost destroyed the world and killed some people, according to Korra. If anyone knew what the avatar really is he would lose all his status. It's literally just a criminal who got away with murder and almost destroyed the world.

Powercreep is the biggest issue, Korra herself is just a scapegoat.

>A:TLA
lightning bending is the absolute top ability for a firebender, due to it requiring an absolute and atypical balance of the mental and physical. Even the protagonists never learn it
>Korra
lightning benders are so common they power factories

>Spirit Aang giving Korra her bending back with energy bending - despite it not being energy bent away
And then fucking everyone gets their bending back. Zero consequences, it's like Amon never existed.

Avatar: Metal bending is something that no one even thought was possible, only the strongest bender in the world can do it
Korra: Everyone in the police force is a metal bender, it's so common that no one even brings it up

>it went from distinct styles between nations and even individual characters that matched their spiritual and philosophical backgrounds
Just to add; there's some weirdly ironic political shit surrounding this too.
The Republic City we see in Korra is a melting pot of the Four Nations that we're told is a place where 'all people can come and live together in peace'. And it ends up being a boring cultureless wasteland completely detached from the traditions and aesthetic of ALL the original nations. It's like a right wing strawman (or at least what liberals call a strawman, not trying to start a debate here, its just something I noticed) about globalisation overwriting national cultures, but dressed up in something pretending to be a lefty 'peace and love' message.

I noticed it in that comic where they retcon Avatar Kyoshi to be a lesbian and they mentioned that the Earth Kingdom refused to accept her because they are 'stubborn and against change'. But was the nations having their own personalities not the entire point of the original series? Are we really at a point where the writers are demonising the nations for the characteristics that made them interesting and unique in the first place?

>avatar
let's build a fully realized, consisten fantasy world based elemental magic inspired on east asian mythology, culture and martial arts
>korra
dude steampunk new york lmao

I completely agree. Korra has just too many bad plot points. They had some fantastic characters in thee show as well. Every bad guy was pretty cool in my opinion with their own motives and philosophies and their own special powers. The writers always just take this shit to the next level. The final season just going full retard with the mechs. Future industries was the breaking point for me. Cars and movies happened way too fast. The peak of their tech should have just been that giant rail system and their german canon. Their tech was completely uninspired. This is a world where spirits have energy. Why did their tech follow ours? This is when I knew the writers were either replaced or not in the mood to give a shit.

What I do like is the theme of the show, which was the opposite message Aangs journey took us on. Korra is the legend of Failure and how to cope. This is Korras story, a story about a girl who fails in every aspect while being told she is the greatest who would ever live. Near the final season we see Korra drastically matures, but this came to late in the series and on top of that, it was not executed correctly. The mercy of the avatar is both a failure and a victory. We saw what happened when Roku failed to kill his enemy. We actually see every failure of the avatars, including the first avatar. No half measures, and here we have Korra dishing them out to the most destructive enemies of the world.

>Avatar
The avatar can go into the spirit world because he is the bridge between the two worlds. Other people can only go there if they're pulled in, and extremely rare people like Iroh can visit the spirit world after decades of studying
>Korra
Everyone can go into the spirit world. Actually all air benders were going into the spirit world and it's part of basic training, you are expected to be able to go in before you turn 8 years old, and it's weird if someone can't enter the spirit world.
Iroh now lives as an immortal being in the spirit world, apparently everyone can just visit the spirit world and become immortal. Monk Gyatso was just a scrub and died for no reason.

korra was shit from the very start
>hey you know how aang had to travel the world and train under masters of each elements to just get proficienct in them yeah well korra basically mastered most of them by age 5 because she's just so gosh darn special

why didn't aang simply marry azula?

>have the perfect chance to use old-man Zuko as your new Uncle Iroh
>completely shaft him and just bring back the old Iroh instead
I'll never not be mad

Thats the message though. She is special. She is the best at failing at being the avatar. Her personal success is meaningless and is suppose to drag down her character even more. What a pathetic avatar, she masters all the elements but she cant even be common ground? She's a terrible negotiator and she was built up to be a warrior during peace time.

Because Azula was too busy fucking Zuko every day

wow that's super interesting I really want to watch this show

Eh it started out fine. Korra being the polar opposite to Aang was the perfect way to start it, gives her an original journey instead of a rehash.
She's sheltered, hot-headed and immature and needs to grow. It's also the perfect chance to teach us more about airbending and spirituality as TLA mostly skipped over that since Aang already knew it.
But they didn't do ANY of that. Korra doesn't learn airbending, she just dicks about in those digusting pro-bending scenes (reminder Tenzin was right) then magically learns airbending when she needs it. She also learns nothing about spirituality, Aang just shows up when she needs him. AND she never stops being a hot-headed aggressive cunt, every villain in every season is defeated by Korra punching them.

lol it definitely wasn't executed correctly, but that was the show. Maybe if it was a character study instead of an anime it would have been achievable.

>if at any point you get mad during the Wan episodes for lore reasons jump to book 3
>watch book 3
>youtube the fights for book 4

The only thing I'll defend about Korra is the bending and that some of the characters were well written.

The complaint about it being more streamlined and modern (and many times uninspired) is valid. However, there's still traditional influences to be seen, particularly among the older characters, and individual fighting styles too--just not as in your face. For example, Tenzin is Aang's son and the resident airbending master and fights the main villain Zaheer who has airbending for reasons and absolutely styles on him.

The reason why it looks like it's only punchbending or THROW ELEMENT is because Korra is a retarded punchbender and she gets the most screentime due to being the main character. Also the other members of her Krew to a lesser degree

Attached: Tenzin vs Zaheer.webm (800x450, 2.3M)

Yeah the animation (and soundtrack I guess) is the only thing worth defending, by the end I was just watching for pretty fight scenes.

Every girl in Avatar had daddy issues bruh.

>Katara upset at her chief dad leaving to fight the Fire Nation
>Yue stuck in an arranged marriage because dad is chief
>Ty Lee not getting enough attention and running away
>Mai having typical rich girl daddy issues
>Toph having typical rich girl daddy issues with bonus blindness
>Azula being PHOENIX KING'D
Really the only girl without daddy issues is Suki. Sure she may have only been brought back to make sure Sokka didn't die a virgin, but she's still top tier.

Mai was flat as a board.

They don't really know what the show is until the end of season 1, only season 2 is kino. Season 3 is good but not as good as season 2.

Zuko Alone and Tales of Ba Sing Se will never be topped.

It completely ruins the world built up in the original, do not watch it and do not read anything about it - pretend it doesn't exist.

>muh book 3
Its shit. The only reason people sucked it off so much was because:
>it had a big battle at the end to rival aang v ozai in scale
>villain who appears to be very deep to normalfags but in actuality is just an anarchist with no real reasoning for his beliefs
>OMG ITS AN AIRBENDER...BUT...BUT AS A VILLAIN BRO
>more Team Avatar relatives because Bryke being the hacks they are still needed to ride the coattails of ATLA with the constant throwbacks

The revisionism comes from the fact that most fans of Korra were still fairly underage (Korra Book 4 ended only 6 years after ATLA's finale aired). And anyone with a brain can look back at both stories - even with the added excuse of evaluating them individually - and come to the conclusion that there's more effort put into developing characters and story threads in ATLA than there is in Korra.

Bryke's tumblr post confirming Korrasami is as much proof as you need of their priorities as writers. They don't care for good storytelling, they care more for being the first one shipping two characters together and they cared about making a shocking finale because the social justice shit was just ramping up during this time. They capitalised on the worst of their fanbase, ever since they gave Zutara fans reparations in Korra in the form of Makorra or whatever the fuck its called.

She did nothing wrong.

Attached: Kuvira. Not Guilty..jpg (1180x1746, 275.59K)

Book 3 is good because of the return to traditional and creative bending styles. 4 has some good fight scenes too but the plot is too retarded. Only book 3 is passable but still questionable.

>Side character can bend lightning like it's no big deal
Really made sub forms of bending feel less special or difficult

Best slut?

It has a giant platinum robot that shoots lasers out of its arms.

Agreed but only on the macro level. How the fuck does bending speed up the invention of the radio? This could've been easier to believe if Sokka and the Mechanist (from the Northern Air Temple episode), who were literal inventors throughout the series were the minds behind most of the city, but all the credit mentioned goes to Zuko and Aang, who weren't particularly intelligent, wise, but not intelligent.

And Sokka was just some politician, which of all the skills he has shown political acumen wasn't one of them.

It was well made and poorly planned. It was autists' and couch showmakers' kryptonite.

>It lacks the "adventure" vibe.
This, the city made everything too centrally located.
>It has better bending
Disagree, the bending lost the influence of different classical martial arts styles. Other than the four villains in S3 it was just punch, punch, punch.
>Most of the bitterness is from it being a bittersweet sendoff and Korra being sexually ambiguous at the end.
People disliked this because the lesbianism wasn't foreshadowed at all. People would've been fine with it if it had been executed better.
>All that aside J.K. Simmons as Tenzen and his start to finish is BASED.
Tenzen is indeed based, shame his siblings got 0 screentime. There were several wasted characters.

>We're talking over a 100 years here
Uhh, TLOK doesn't take place 100 years after ATLA. Katara's and Zuko are still alive in TLOK.

Why do spergs hate this episode so much?

>just throws a couple weak firebending shots and that's the only thing we see of him
TLOK was more about Toph's legacy more than it was about Zuko, Katara and Sokka's combined.

Nope

The most forgettable episode in the entire series.

>Forgettable
But you can easily google tons of vids and articles about why it sucks. Something is clearly triggering.

I hated it cause I saw it some many fucking times. They loved to re run this fucking episode. Fuck this episode.

Honestly, Avatar was just such an incredible show. I watched it when I was like in college and loved it, honestly thinking I was going to feel too old for it (though I still watch other animes, this one was on Nick) but it really surprised me...it was just incredible.

Korra was just fine, but I was more aware I was just watching a kids show now, while Avatar was just so quality I felt like I was partaking in art.

>TLOK was more about Toph's legacy more than it was about Zuko, Katara and Sokka's combined
I've never been interested in what would happen to them. The large crisis averted, everything else would go to normal and be pretty anticlimactic.

The most it added of value was the differing animation styles during the two stories that were told in the episode. Outside of that? Its a negative on the worldbuilding (rich tribe and poor tribe and im supposed to believe the two are equally rivalled) + the very unsubtle Grand Canyon. Its a negative on story (just another reminder that Katara and Sokka are opposites of one another and bicker a lot as siblings). Its a negative on themes, in this case the theme of letting go of past grudges for the greater good, when it was resolved by a 12 year old pretending to have been there in the first place.

If you were to make a live action ATLA Book 1 series, this would be the first episode cut out of the story, no questions about it.

And Toph didn't even change at all
It's funny, Katara used to be the role model for little girls because she was strong but also compassionate and kind, which made Toph a good foil for her because she was stubborn and immature.
Then they bring Toph back who literally hasn't changed since childhood because the new model for feminist icons is being an abrasive cunt.

Katara and Zuko I can agree on a bit, but Sokka was portrayed to be a literal genius. And despite all the skills he developed over the story, he ended up being a politician - which

For me, it was the rape of the worldbuilding.

Basically turning the spiritual asian-inspired world of Avatar into a steampunk fantasy.

This. It's a generic subversive anime. There steam ships and Zeppelins of the fire nation were already unnerving and sinister enough which served as a great contrast to traditional medieval life.

Its the only pure 100% filler episode in the whole series.
>nothing of any interest happens
>no character development
>we don't learn anything interesting apart from the backstories of two literal who tribes nobody cares about
And then at the end when you think "okay at least Aang gained some valuable mediation skills as the avatar" they hit you with "lol i just made up a story xD"

>Then they bring Toph back who literally hasn't changed since childhood
Which makes it even more confusing that she became a police chief.

korra as a character was the fucking worst.

Yeah the implication in S1 was that she grew off-screen and didn't need to fight all authority anymore. But then we meet her again and she's acting like a 9 year old again? Did she just go senile?

>Airbenders can fly like superman now
I thought each bending had a ultimate bending power
Earth metal, fire lightning, water bloodbending but air? Atla don't go further on it since the only airbender is Aang and he didnt get to know all monks secrets and stories such as gurú laghima. Monks couldnt let go off their love bonding with their people, thats why there are so few flying benders.
Bald guy flew once he cut off his love.

That's dumb, if they actually cared about balancing the elements they'd have stopped giving Water new superpowers every other episode. That 'le ultimate form' bullshit is like its ripped right out of any other garbage anime.

Also Zaheer DIDN'T let go his earthly connections. He still had worldy aspirations, just his gf died. The whole thing was bullshit.

>Iroh now lives as an immortal being in the spirit world,
Its implied in ATLA iroh used to visit and knew a shiton of the spirit world. When taken as a prisoner he can see Aang flying rokus dragón
Before he died, he traveled in mind and in spirit to the spirit world and left his body alive just to die later after.

Thats not Tai lee

Basically everything other than production values.

Especially the bending was utter dogshit compared to ATLA.

>water bloodbending
Water also gets healing powers and ice

>Also they developed the printing press, radio, car and every technology at the same time
imo this is still the biggest underlying problem. Part of he appeal of avatar was exploring the fantastic nature environments. Having a modern city as the environment just felt out of place. They tried to merge the spirit world and the city during the show's run but it didn't feel very well done.

Season 3 was pretty good in general. 4 hurt the most because it had a lot of potential early on and we expected s3 again.

Isnt ice a form of water? Ozai was certainly draining heat from the volcano that killed Roku.
Healing was a plus only shown to develop on women

yeah it pretty much turned into low-tier shounen

The biggest fuck up is bloodbending
> blood bending introduced as completely powerful, but with specifically require specific condition of full moon
> it’s symbolic because it is the antithesis, the dark side of water ending, which is typically more graceful and has supportive qualities rather than raw destructive power like other bending

for a cartoon it's still good. it just can't compare to the last airbender.

It's literally just the Star Wars Nu Trilogy but for Avatar. The problems they suffer from are identical

They also failed to create any evidence of the inequality of the bending world claimed by the villain. Literally just went "benders are bad"

There's a few kino episodes in season 1 that will give you a taste of more consistent kino in season 2.

Episodes like The Storm. That's episode 12 I think.

Korra's biggest sin is not being interesting enough while trying really hard at one-upping the original.

Korra's biggest sin is that it panders to tumblr girls
The only issue that isn't explained fully by this fact is the steampunk setting, which is just because the writers wanted to do that and didn't give a shit about maintaining consistency. But that fucks up bending as well given what they do to metalbending and lightningbending, let alone the idea that technology would be boosted by the existence of magic and not hindered

lmao its literally Firebending, except air is coming out instead. Doesn't feel like Airbending at all.

You can see the sign at the end of season 3 on TLA which suffer the exact same thing. Korra is like taking all of the problem here and there in s3 TLA, enlarge it, and make it into the whole series of Korra

The episode after that, 08 - The Blue Spirit, is one of the best episodes of season 1. Still rewatch it from time to time.
The Deserter is also a good one.
Unrelated: I'm so fucking tired of these .jfif files. Same thing with .webp. Who the fuck is inventing these unnecessary filetypes?
