Didn’t say just republic city, but yeah it isn’t the strongest one. I do think things should be more localized. No grand world ending shit. Keep it chill and focus on keeping peace.
Not exactly: Lucas' problems had to do more with the fact that he TRIED to get other people to handle the Star Wars prequels, but they refused and insisted he was the man to do it. Most of the people who had worked on the OT had either quit the film biz, died, or were working on other projects. If we're talking the direction of the Prequels, then yes, they did suffer from lack of a coherent vision (Anakin being the Chosen One wasn't planned until Ep 3, then he was meant to be Palpatine's "son", before that was scrapped) until EU material and shows like The Clone Wars were established and retroactively made things into a somewhat coherent product.
Speaking of Lucas, Bryke have talked about the reason as to why TLOK avoided delving into politics and it mostly came down to not wanting to be left with Prequel Trilogy comparisons out of fear of boring the audience. Politicking scenes were originally conceived but scrapped for this reason.
And that's not to imply they even would have been that interesting: TLOK doesn't really handle the political themes with maturity or nuance, instead everything resorts to neoliberal Obama-era pro-status quo mentality where the Establishment is Inherently Good because it is run by Good People (descended from heroes) and the Anti-Establishment is inherently bad because it is Not Establishment and always Evil. Communism aesthetic is draped onto Amon (but it means nothing), Communism AND Nazism aesthetic is draped onto Kuvira (but it means nothing), etc. They really exist to look cool or to easily communicate that "these are the bad guys, wowee".
>Communism aesthetic is draped onto Amon (but it means nothing), Communism AND Nazism aesthetic is draped onto Kuvira (but it means nothing), etc. They really exist to look cool or to easily communicate that "these are the bad guys, wowee".
Nothing wrong with that, those are (for modern audience) easy and aesthetically pleasing way to tell "these are military type bad guys". Also are you implying that Kuvira was some sort of Nazbol Queen?
>Lucas' problems had to do more with the fact that he TRIED to get other people to handle the Star Wars prequels, but they refused and insisted he was the man to do it.
This bullshit again.
If you want a serious answer, it comes down to poor direction on behalf of Bryke, the talented crew of ATLA not returning for TLOK, and a lack of faith from Bryke over all.
Korra's entire selling point is being the exact opposite of ATLA in every way, something that Bryke prided themselves on without really knowing how badly this would damage the story and worldbuilding: Korra is Aang's foil in every single way, Book 1 takes place in a city rather than traveling the world, most of the cast have personality opposed to their element or background, and there's a big emphasis on industry. None of this really works as intended due to poor internal logic and these story choices not being executed in a way that generates interesting stories. The cast end up half-baked and serve as gimmicks with nothing to actually do.
Take for instance Korra herself: despite what Book 3 and 4 try to accomplish, Korra lacks a character arc since she lacks an internal conflict as a whole: she instead plays the role of a plot device being jerked around by her ego since that is what the plot requires of her, only to be beaten down and rendered helpless every time, further highlighting how she's only useful as a narrative punching bag to feel sorry for. Her only real appeal is aesthetic whether that be her appearance, surface level personality, or overall attitude. Nothing about her coincides with the internal logic established by ATLA, and neither do the other characters shackled to her.

poor planification and even worse execution according to the creators at least.
Still, she's talked about everyday on here because everyone wants to plap her even if LOK has ended almost a decade ago.
Specifically, Bryke failed with the direction of wanting to make each Book self-contained (barring segues) and with a shorter episode count (the latter of which was originally planned by them for ATLA, fun fact). There's no real overarching hooks to create tension or hook viewers, and the ones that do exist within Books are handled poorly.
Making matters worse was Book 1 being originally pitched as a mini-series before it was greenlit to a full Book, along with Books 3 and 4 greenlit as another season: contrary to popular belief, Korra does NOT have four seasons, only two, each consisting of two Books. Book 2 was written as if it was the last Book to be made as Bryke were unsure if TLOK would be renewed for another season.
Book 1 is really where all the problems with TLOK lie, since they never really go away:
>Bryke having the largest amount of creative control is obvious here, given the lack of ATLA crew who didn't arrive until Book 2 began >Homogenized and incoherent worldbuilding >Internal logic that clashes and contradicts ATLA's for the sole sake of being distinct from it >Poorly established and developed characters, ranging from boring to insufferable >romance for the sake of pandering >a crippling inability to develop tension and use the runtime efficiently: most of TLOK is spent meandering or dragging out things >Legacy cast being all but absent, their children being hit or miss, and newer characters being 50/50 on whether or not they're well written (most aren't) >neoliberal writing (hence the aim towards urban modernization through INDUSTRY, the death of spirituality in-universe and in a meta sense, and the villains being the ones in the right until they're written to be evil because neoliberalism says radicalism = worse than the devil)

The didn't have a writing team. They asked Bryke before production started if they could write the series themselves without any writers to save money. They jumped at it (in their own words) to have complete control and it doomed the project.
ATLA itself barely had a "writing team." Aaron Ehasz and his wife single-handedly saved the writing.
I'd be curious how he did on The Dragon Prince if that show wasn't so fricking ugly.
It's definitely not on the level of ATLA also it has some major Netflix meddling and even his employees under him think they're in charge and blow up on twitter at him for not doing what they command of him in the name of their LGBTQIHOP bullshit

The Dragon Prince and Korra just show that Ehasz and Bryke balance each other out creatively. Neither show lived up to their full potential, not what you'd expect from 'the creators of Avatar'
Dragon Prince has interesting characters and a colorful world but none of its rules make a lick of fricking sense and it looks like a PS3 game while Korra has a bunch of great voice actors and dynamic animation in the service of bland MMA and a bunch of brown boring post-industrial horseshit
Let's play a game. I want you to think of and list all the IPs where the protagonist has elemental superpowers. >too many to count
Now list the ones where the protagonist is a reincarnation in a long cycle of legendary historic figures, and can speak with their past lives who impart wisdom and knowledge. They can also embody their past lives to get power up into some frightening amalgam of their combined will, at the risk of death taking them all. >0
They threw that away. They threw away a singularly unique concept, with 1000s of potential interactions and stories ready to tell (look at them hire a semi-competent author to milk Kyoshi and Yangchen), and replaced it with le lawful good and flawless benevolent kite squid who says one (1) line of dialogue in the remaining two seasons.
Bryke straight have no imagination when it comes to battling and the like, they think in terms of power levels only. They said they had to destroy the Avatar State because the Avatar was too powerful. No creativity at all...sad.
>They said they had to destroy the Avatar State because the Avatar was too powerful.
As always I'm gonna need a fricking source for that, and to contribute:
The fight choreography in korra is actually really good
Korra's fight choreography is quite good, it lacks momorable unique bending moves for every episode which I could probably tell you about for each TLA episode, but in exchange you do get some really solid setpieces, even when the season ends up lackluster there's still some pretty great fights in there.
Try googling, it's a well known thing Bryke spoke out about. "Avatar is too strong yada yada we had to find ways to depower her or it's not interesting"
Just not true, they have no imagination and think fights are solely just two people spamming beams at each other ultimately. The Avatar couldn't even defeat a terrorist cell that would work in concert across the world. Literally impossible
>Oh no they're attacking Lomba-Lomba! >Yayy the Avatar is here! They've retreated! >Oh no they destroyed Zoot-Zoot Island with the Avatar here! >The Avatar has arrived too late! >Mugoban village is poisoned! >The Avatar has arrived! >Oh no it was another distraction and Republic City exploded!
And thus the Reign of the Avatar ended and the world was destroyed without the Avatar shooting a single beam.
>think fights are solely just two people spamming beams at each other ultimately
There's literally maybe one fight where that's a thing and it's in the worst season. I promise you, there's much more shit in Korra fights than you're giving credit to.
>Korra's fight choreography is quite good, it lacks momorable unique bending moves for every episode which I could probably tell you about for each TLA episode, but in exchange you do get some really solid setpieces, even when the season ends up lackluster there's still some pretty great fights in there.
It's boring to watch compared to old ATLA, but it makes sense that with pro-bending that all styles will become as purely efficient as possible over time, just like MMA has. The worldbuilding in Legend of Korra I actually thought was great. The old 1920s radio episode recaps were nice too. It had so much potential but is so flawed, I think that's why it's the most talked about show in /co history. Also Korra is peak waifu and has become the face of /aco, sometimes a peak waifu is all a show needs to be remembered.
Korra is amazing. Her look combined with her dumb wienery personality that makes you want to hate frick her in to oblivion is the reason she is the GOAT waifu western animation has ever created.
Zaheer's team is actually crippled not only by zero focus on who they are but also the fact that half of them are just the same shit (Zaheer is just an experienced more-aggro airbender and P'li is just Combustion Man). The only ones with "memorable" styles are whats his name with lavabending (ridiculously OP) and Grey DeLisle Armless Waterbender with no personality.

>The only ones with "memorable" styles are whats his name with lavabending (ridiculously OP) and Grey DeLisle Armless Waterbender with no personality.
That means 50% of them had a memorable fighting style, which is decent, especially compared to team Korra with Asami, Bolin and Mako being the most boring cast of MCs ever, or the fartbender kid.
LoK wasn't that bad, very disjointed to a point where each seasons feel like different show but still a good watch. TLAB was just a masterpiece that was never replicated in any western animation afterwards.
They did not frick it up; Korra is a better show than ATLA by every measure.
But avatars are by and large cretinous incels who resent the idea of strong female characters (see: how much they hate Katana); and at the same time imbecilic fricking morons who are unable to grasp the concept of a character flaw (Korra is a million times more interesting character than Aang;: she ducks up all the time and actually has room to grow as a person; genuinely one of the best-written protagonist ever).
Unfortunately, most ATLA fans have mentally remained children - The Legend of Korra is a far more mature story than the original, and far more interesting, and they are incapable of appreciating it.
This. You ask any regular, proper, valuable person who watched both shows, they will tell you the original series is absolutely for children, while The Legend of Korra is a far more mature production with incompatibly more actual depth.
Whatever the frick the maggots have to say bears little relevance. Anybody who says the show is bad is immature, plain and simple.
>imbecilic fricking morons who are unable to grasp the concept of a character flaw
It's crazy how so many accusations of TLOK having "bad writing" are just people showing their whole ass that they think a lead character should never make mistakes.

If you’re going to samegay at least change up how you post.
What's hilarious is that the rest of the world actually came to its senses and has recognized The Legend of Korra as a masterpiece by now. It's only the frick stains here who still pretend its anything other than that.
Anon this exact discussion has been going on for so long now. None of the criticisms against the show hold any water; none of the people who say the show is bad are taken seriously by decent people, it's just a handful of creeps circejerking over whenever imagined right-wing propaganda they are supposed to be upset by this week.
These threads are evidence of a sever lack of moderation on this board.
I swear I have never seen legitimate criticism of this show. Everytime anybody said anything bad about it, all I got from it is that whoever criticized it was a gaping butthole.
I think an underlooked part of why the show doesn't work as well as its predecessor is Korra's cast outside of Korra. I think Korra herself is a fine character she just isn't given other characters that she has real screen chemistry with to moderate her less immediately pleasant aspects. Her 'team' has no real reason to interact and travel with her and in fact they get split up a lot. I think she actually has some of the best screen chemistry with Jinora, who ends up happening to be a great foil to her. I would:
>Age Jinora up a little bit, make her 14 to Korra's 16 >Make her Korra's bestie and primary travelling companion
Perhaps Jinora is ready to set off and explore the world in true Air Noman fashion. Meanwhile Korra is sheltered and drastically in need of worldly experience when she gets her shit kicked in by Amon and loses her bending so she and Jinora set out to see the world and find new bending masters for Korra so she can regain all her powers.
These discussions were just proto-alt-right shit. The same Nazis, the same dog whistling, the same contempt by the general population towards those perpetrating it.
Alternate idea: ditch the normie world and explore the spirit world more.
It's a fascinating place that we don't get to see *that* much of. Perhaps Korra's journey could be about exploring the spirit world in the hopes of finding another way to bring back the Airbenders (that wouldn't be what they actually did in the show).
>Hey so what if all are villains were shit and Korra reached peak power before even halfway throughout the series yet still job till the very end
Yeah, I hated Whorra too. Total mary sue
>Made a pretty convincing "for the sake of the common men" character
>Shat the bed by making him a comical mustache twisting villain for some reason
>HAHAHAHA ANON, YOU FOOL. THE IDENTITY OF THE MYSTERIOUS MASKED MAN YOU HAVE SEEN ALL ALONG WAS ACTUALLY...some literally who? His face isn't even disfigured?
He easily could have been the big bad for a 4 season show, if they had planned for it.
Should have been Koh
How to fix Amon and Korra as a whole
>make him the main villain that builds up over the course of the show
>make him and the equalists start out peaceful and kind until all the bullshit crushes their hope and drives them to a dark place
>have Korra fight people from different positions and places each representing a different part of the corruption/oppression
>keep shit smaller, no dark avatar shit at most Republic City and Zao Fu
>have her be true peace time avatar and have her deal with more diplomatic shit and become less hot headed as things go forward
>lastly (for now) have Amon be exactly who he says he is no bullshit with blood bending or any other nonsense.
I disagree on keepign everything confiend to Republic City
Didn’t say just republic city, but yeah it isn’t the strongest one. I do think things should be more localized. No grand world ending shit. Keep it chill and focus on keeping peace.
>peak power
>lost every fight
Ah this classic moron argument again. The character who always loses is somehow a jobber even though they have a low power level.
Literally the same problem as George Lucas and the prequels where the people who reigned the creators in previously were no longer around.
Not exactly: Lucas' problems had to do more with the fact that he TRIED to get other people to handle the Star Wars prequels, but they refused and insisted he was the man to do it. Most of the people who had worked on the OT had either quit the film biz, died, or were working on other projects. If we're talking the direction of the Prequels, then yes, they did suffer from lack of a coherent vision (Anakin being the Chosen One wasn't planned until Ep 3, then he was meant to be Palpatine's "son", before that was scrapped) until EU material and shows like The Clone Wars were established and retroactively made things into a somewhat coherent product.

Zaheer's team is actually crippled not only by zero focus on who they are but also the fact that half of them are just the same shit (Zaheer is just an experienced more-aggro airbender and P'li is just Combustion Man). The only ones with "memorable" styles are whats his name with lavabending (ridiculously OP) and Grey DeLisle Armless Waterbender with no personality.

That means 50% of them had a memorable fighting style, which is decent, especially compared to team Korra with Asami, Bolin and Mako being the most boring cast of MCs ever, or the fartbender kid.
Are you genuinely stupid or just pretending?
LoK wasn't that bad, very disjointed to a point where each seasons feel like different show but still a good watch. TLAB was just a masterpiece that was never replicated in any western animation afterwards.
No respect from Nick and written by liberals, none of the antagonists are allowed to have valid points or well thought out motives.
>brown fit tomboy
>universally despised
impressive achievement tbh
>How did they frick this up so bad?
So the writers of the Earthbender season have an excuse to make the Water Nation represent the PROC
By deciding to make their lead female
Season 3 was insanely good. Holy shit, I love that finale.
Fricking incredible.
korras sexy backmuscles and shoulders
They did not frick it up; Korra is a better show than ATLA by every measure.
But avatars are by and large cretinous incels who resent the idea of strong female characters (see: how much they hate Katana); and at the same time imbecilic fricking morons who are unable to grasp the concept of a character flaw (Korra is a million times more interesting character than Aang;: she ducks up all the time and actually has room to grow as a person; genuinely one of the best-written protagonist ever).
Unfortunately, most ATLA fans have mentally remained children - The Legend of Korra is a far more mature story than the original, and far more interesting, and they are incapable of appreciating it.
This. You ask any regular, proper, valuable person who watched both shows, they will tell you the original series is absolutely for children, while The Legend of Korra is a far more mature production with incompatibly more actual depth.
Whatever the frick the maggots have to say bears little relevance. Anybody who says the show is bad is immature, plain and simple.
>imbecilic fricking morons who are unable to grasp the concept of a character flaw
It's crazy how so many accusations of TLOK having "bad writing" are just people showing their whole ass that they think a lead character should never make mistakes.
It's because they are immature homosexuals who never managed to grow up with the rest of the audience.
No, for ducking real, if you think Aang is a better character than Korra you are beyond fricking help.
If you’re going to samegay at least change up how you post.
This discussion about the writers is some of the most obnoxious shit that I have ever seen in my life. You homosexuals should have a nice day.
Well somebody is butthurt
What's hilarious is that the rest of the world actually came to its senses and has recognized The Legend of Korra as a masterpiece by now. It's only the frick stains here who still pretend its anything other than that.
Anon this exact discussion has been going on for so long now. None of the criticisms against the show hold any water; none of the people who say the show is bad are taken seriously by decent people, it's just a handful of creeps circejerking over whenever imagined right-wing propaganda they are supposed to be upset by this week.
These threads are evidence of a sever lack of moderation on this board.
Says the guy trying oh so very hard to shitpost.
>the guy
What? The thread was started by a shitposter and most of the replies are shitposters.
Yeah, let's not pretend that hating tlok is a valid position to have
They hired fans
>We only intended to do one season, because we didnt know if we'd get to do another
>O-oh we have to do more...?
Well that’s one hell of a cope, not even going deny being a shitposter either?
I swear I have never seen legitimate criticism of this show. Everytime anybody said anything bad about it, all I got from it is that whoever criticized it was a gaping butthole.
Remember that any female led show is instantly loathed by incels
Yeah, why even make a thread like this, unless you are a hateful, bigoted piece of shit?
What kind of garbage human would want discussion about hating something?
Super fricking butthurt
You gonna keep talking to yourself in hopes someone will think you’re being legit?
Like I said before you’re trying too hard.
Warms my heart that so few people agree with OP
I think an underlooked part of why the show doesn't work as well as its predecessor is Korra's cast outside of Korra. I think Korra herself is a fine character she just isn't given other characters that she has real screen chemistry with to moderate her less immediately pleasant aspects. Her 'team' has no real reason to interact and travel with her and in fact they get split up a lot. I think she actually has some of the best screen chemistry with Jinora, who ends up happening to be a great foil to her. I would:
>Age Jinora up a little bit, make her 14 to Korra's 16
>Make her Korra's bestie and primary travelling companion
Perhaps Jinora is ready to set off and explore the world in true Air Noman fashion. Meanwhile Korra is sheltered and drastically in need of worldly experience when she gets her shit kicked in by Amon and loses her bending so she and Jinora set out to see the world and find new bending masters for Korra so she can regain all her powers.
These discussions were just proto-alt-right shit. The same Nazis, the same dog whistling, the same contempt by the general population towards those perpetrating it.
The same minority of vermin who do not deserve to live attacking the majority of the decent people that actually love the show.
>frick Nazis
>exterminate all vermin
Pick a lane man jeez.
Alternate idea: ditch the normie world and explore the spirit world more.
It's a fascinating place that we don't get to see *that* much of. Perhaps Korra's journey could be about exploring the spirit world in the hopes of finding another way to bring back the Airbenders (that wouldn't be what they actually did in the show).
>How did they frick this up so bad?
misandric feminazis and self-hating basedboys started to become prominent in the industry.
I'd like to frick her
