I just watched it. It was good. I hear mixed things about the sequel Korra though, some say it's better others say it's the worst show ever.
>In its final seasons, Korra became too dangerous, too risky for Nick to air.
What the hell is that about?

Who are you quoting? Korra got pulled from airing and shuttled into online airing limbo because of tanking ratings.

It got pulled off the air and forced onto the nick toons website because nobody was watching it.
Nick tried to play it off like it was the beginning of their new online streaming platform but they literally never put another show on the website since then. I guess now Korratards are trying to rewrite history and claim it was too progressive for small minded plebians.

Korra did really well in its first season. However for its second season, Nickelodeon gave it to the infamous friday night death slot. Its ratings tanked and by the 2nd season finale, it was streamed online instead.
Bryke likes to push the narrative that nickelodeon stopped them from doing a lot of things, but that's not true; they were greenlit for 4 seasons and could do whatever they wanted, but they mismanaged their funding and ended up hiring another animation team to clean up the shitjob done by the first (this happened in season 2 which is why season 2's animation is so shitty).
as a result they had to include a clipshow in season 4.
nick's only fault was scheduling korra s2 at a bad time.

I just turned on the first Korra episode now and in the first 2 minutes it tells me Aang is already dead. Needless to say, I'm a bit deflated by that.
Ryder Morales
Oh trust me, it gets plenty worse from there bucko.

Korra retconned and ruined the original show

But that's how the Avatar cycle works, user.

How did you expect a show about the reincarnation of Aang to begin?

I felt like Korra's story bounced all over the place and never had a clear cut definition of what it wanted to be. One season it's this, another it's that. ATLA had the overlooming threat of war and the Firelord connecting all the seasons, so it felt much more connected. All Korra shows was that the original really was carried by the writers, not Bryke.

>some say korra is better then original atla
NO ONE says that.
Korra has some ok moments, they have a lot of higher tech and mass adavanced bending.
Plus there's some blood dend shit, some spirit shit, the dark avatar shit, giant robot bending shit, and lesbian shit.
There's a lot of shit.
It has ok moments, mixed in with a lot of shit.
Lot of teen romance drama shit.
And korra can use her avater powers to take others bending away forever too.
It's almost all shit.
To be fair, aang taking away firelord bending was simular shit, so korra was almost all based off that shit.
But korra is like a 4 maybe 5 out of 10 show, and alta was like 8 or 9 out of 10 show
It's a big diffrence.
Carter Cooper
Legend of Korra was sort of stuck in a network that had no idea what to do with it, which to be fair was the same case for Avatar in the first place. In retrospect, it probably belonged more on a streaming network like Netflix, which is why Bryke fled to streaming when he made Dragon Prince

I was here when Legend of Korra first came out, and one of the most consistent things about Yas Forums's reaction to the show was how hot Korra was

How bad can one fuck up and ruin the mystery of two shows at once. Sometimes things just shouldn't be explained.

>Tell us what you liked about Avatar user
I felt season 1 was a bit slow and Aang and the others were just doing random shit. I didn't know anything about Avatar really I'd just heard it was a good show. I loved the quality of the animation, voice acting and artwork. It was clear immediately a lot of care had gone into it. I can't really think of disliking any character, although I was a bit disappointed that Ozai just turned out to be an evil megalomaniac with no other drive except a lust for power, when even in the flashback Sozin had a reason. By Season 3 everything just seemed to flow perfectly, it was a really well written show, and still clearly well loved since I just saw Nickelodeon put up the final fight between Aang and Ozai on their youtube and it's gotten like 10 million views in 2 weeks.

Korra is a decent 1st season, bad 2nd season, GREAT 3rd season and the most hammy, pandering and dumbstruck 4th season and finale you can imagine
>Too dangerous to air
Ratings were tanking because it was scaring of fans of the actual, but Bryke and Dante had already succeeded in getting 4 seasons into production so Nick put it on their website to save face
Xavier Kelly
Korra is a massive disappointment on a lot of levels, but it's got great visuals (except Season 2 which should be avoided at all costs) and a fantastic soundtrack. But on pretty much every other level it's a straight downgrade. Every character besides Korra and the main villain have no real reason to be there except to pad out the runtime with meaningless love rectangle bullshit. All the villains built up over entire seasons are worse than villains who only get a single episode of screentime in Avatar. The lore is fucked, they shit on Aang for some reason by making him out to be a shit parent or something, they fuck up the origins of the Avatar on a cosmic scale. Just keep your happy memories of Avatar. It's not even worth being mad about even though I still am.
Sebastian Flores
If Aang not being present was a condition for you shutting off, why even start? It was literally in the title that it was about a new Avatar, it was quite well-established that there couldn´t be two
Owen Ortiz
>Dragon Prince
I'll probably watch this after Korra then. The first episode of Korra was pretty good, it looks and sounds great, I can't deny wanting to see more of the Avatar world right now. I'll keep in mind to tone down expectations on the art and animation quality of season 2.

Korra's first few episodes are great the rest not so much.
If you want more of the ATLA gang, there's comics that are... fine.
The Dragon Prince was made by one of the head writers on ATLA (Aaron Ehasz) and has Sokka's voice actor as the protagonist. It's okay in my opinion, not as bad as Korra but not nearly as good as Avatar.
There's also a bunch of shows that have been touted as spiritual successors to ATLA down the years made by unrelated studios, of varying quality.
