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

Avatar is overrated.
Year 0 Chinese communist style rape of the lore and world that took 3 seasons to build.
I only watched s1 but they completely failed at responding to the criticisms of the inequality of the bending world by the villain. Literally just went "but benders are good"
the network told them to only make one season because they didn't think it would be successful with a female protagonist. it's also likely that they weren't given money to hire writing staff or for more than 10 episodes. so they did a self-contained story in the first season that introduced everything and killed off their best villain.
then when it was successful, they were basically fucked because they hadn't set up any long-running arcs. they literally got less money to make each subsequent season despite being a ratings success.
Korra
It's not terrible. People over reacted because it's not as good as ATLA.
It's perfectly fine. It's very centralized though. It lacks the "adventure" vibe. It has better bending but worse development for core characters (the bros are backseated pretty quick).
Most of the bitterness is from it being a bittersweet sendoff and Korra being sexually ambiguous at the end.
The two series offer different things.
All that aside J.K. Simmons as Tenzen and his start to finish is BASED.
>Amon better than Kuvira
breh.. no.
>absolute lore rape
Avatar Wan episodes were a lore holocaust by comparison though
>worldbuilding rape
Everyone went from bending focused society to New York city in a generation somehow. Also they developed the printing press, radio, car and every technology at the same time LMAO
>characters are fucking bad and written bad
See: every character
>tons of bad dialogue
>tons of terrible ideas (an unironic Dark Avatar)
It's just a fucking disaster
