I thought LoK was okay, with some really good fights and character moments spread throughout. But I consider ATLA to be a benchmark in American animation (>inb4 it's Korean) so it is technically a major downgrade.
It's like comparing 2001 A Space Odyssey to 2010 The Year We Make Contact. One's a milestone in cinema, the other's an okay sequel.
I liked LoK a lot and it makes me appreciate how fricking moronic Cinemaphile is that they still can't stop whining after all these years, all the while watching trash that is so much worse it's not even funny.
It makes me laugh seeing frickers like you try to say it's still good after the massive dropoff across 2 generations following the Netflix release. This shit was so awful it turned off entirely different generations watching it in entirely different mediums, despite claims Streaming would be where Korra really shined, and just nailed home all those desperate pleas that in 10 years Cinemaphile was totally going to flip to loving it.
Can't beat the smug satisfaction of calling it shit and being vindicated all these years later, keep pretending people are mad. It's easier than handling people just laughing at how shit it is.
>people look at the original with nostalgia glasses.
You'd think, but following a Netflix re-relase it absolutely dominated the charts with kids watching it and sparked a whole ass revival with younger kids and teens. That re-release is the only reason Netflix dumped a shitload of money into the new show that's finally coming out and held onto it despite the production hell. ATLA genuinely managed to be successful across 2 generations on its own merits.
Side note Korra got a huge start in her simultaneous netflix release and then promptly fell off a fricking cliff in watch time after people dropped it, meaning two generations got suckered into watching it because it's the sequel to ATLA and then just up and decided it was shit and stopped watching. Twice. She's the anti-test of time.
in atla the pacing is all sorts of fricked up, season 3 doesnt make sense at all (for example why didnt zuko just tell them his dad was going to roast the world?) season 2 hinges on the dai li just adopting azula as their new leader throwing away all loyalty to their own nation (after 100 years of warfare? it's bullshit.) there are more plotholes but i am not getting paid for this.
atla is successful because its competition is all garbage. what other cartoons are there, spongebob? velma? gag me. it's good, but it's not flawless.

yeah, now that you mention it, that's more of a major shift than when the anti-Benders turned against the movement and Amon simply because he was a Bender. like, betraying a movement you've been a part of for a few years is one thing, betraying your country who has been under siege for a century is another thing entirely.
Wrong. The Kyoshi books are better than Korra. Haven't read Yangchen novels yet.
The only "good" thing about Korra is the porn.
I liked Korra overall. Even if season 4 was pretty stupid.
But yes, kyhu's Korrasami art is by far the best thing to come out of it.
this
which one watches the other frick men?
>which one watches the other frick men?
Asami. She has the wealth to pay for people to frick in front of her and she's likely paid for it before
Korra is adorable and her show was absolute shit.

>only ATLA-related thing to follow the original
Your premise is vague and weirdly specific.
So Im just gonna post pic-related and not argue.

>to follow the original
did tho? they fricked the lore and some old characters so hard it was hardly the same universe
>actually good
hahaha no
people look at the original with nostalgia glasses. the writing actually was bad and the plot was janky and full of plotholes. korra wasn't any worse.

Legend of Korra is just the most expensive fanfic ever created
Weren't there supposed to be Roku, Kyoshi and adult Ang movies at some point or am I making shit up?
>actually good
Yeah, right.
