Asami having a traumatic plot exposition from her father and Korra nearly bankrupting her company on multiple occasions because of expensive long distance trips and failed investments
But the biggest and worst example was them not doubling down on Varrick as a fool for Asami they laid the ground work down and then changed their mind.
Asamis father disappearing completely from the story after ticking the backstory box in the clipboard design will never not be hilarious
Everything about asami is hilarious, she even gets the bad end, she was confirmed to be lesbian on a tweet Jesus Christ, is as if they took soka and said let's do the opposite, let's make a soka whose insecurities are all true
>Korra. Sweetie. I dont wanna alarm you but im not feeling like a proper sugar mama GF right now. See after dad kind of soured the whole city with being a genocidal tyrant who wanted to murder all benders who make up a majority of the world population all of our investors backed out and well...im a little low on capital right now
>Yes the war investment with the North and the South Pole was also a bad investment
>You need to go to Ba Sing Se?
>By Blimp?
>Korra those are being repossessed right now if I use them for business trips i'll go from being in the red to in the black
>Yes I understand this is a matter of national emergency but I cant just...
>...No...no you're right its fine.
>I'll just...call the bank and let them know I needed an extended on my several mortgage payments
>...Yeah I love you too
those are being repossessed right now if I use them for business trips i'll go from being in the red to in the black
Being in the black is good, being in the red is bad
To be fair, considering extended media(Korra included) it feels like the writers hated Sokka.
Always makes me happy that characters that writers dislikes are always liked by a certain part of the audience.
But I don't feel like Sokka was hated on TLA
I guess they started to hate him after ATLA ended.
I guess you meant *foil instead of fool.
Mako/Korra/Bolin AKA Watered Zutara/Tokka
Also forgot
>Korra “Oh no, I lost my bending. Now I’ll have to spend the rest of the show learning how to unlock them by connecting spiritually with myself. Or maybe I’ll be an Avatar that can only use the other elements in the Avatar State, that can be an interesting change of pace. Or-“
>Aang “LOL. LMAO. LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Aight you good kid, frick off.”
This along with Amon just being a water bender. Everything is downhill after season one.
Such a true and accurate statement.
>Avatars with Aang
>You must go on this terrible journey to fix something I could not, I will be here to give advice in dire hours and teach you how to navigate the situations that we too struggled with.
>Aang with Korra
>this b***h is moronic, lemme spoonfeed here r/q
Never liked it much from the get-go, but the three moments that did for me were , the bender vs. non-bender plot going nowhere and other characters like Tenzin, Lin Beifong and Aang’s other son from S2 somehow being more interesting than Korra and her 3 friends that travel with her.
The Dark Avatar from season 2. That was the moment I lost whatever crumbs of hope I had left for the show.
The fact that everyone on Cinemaphile was comparing it to Attack on Titan should have been a warning sign about his Cal-Arts Grad students get paid to watch popular Shounen Anime then are immediately instructed to make shittier versions of it while lying to their built in fan base that was never the intention
For the next 2 seasons Korra kept doing this. Season 3 turned into Dragon Bender Z then S4 turned into Gurren Laggen
Now that gave you that idea?
So fricking stupid. When Kuriva was introduced in the S3 finale by the time most of the Red Lotus were killed fricking no one other then the most Grey Matter starved gooners cared of wanted to sit thru her story arc especially since that gets overshadowed by the ending of tge series which brought us into the ESG era of animation we see now
Korra and Adventure time walked so ESG Steven universe and Owl House could run
Korrsami is so much more undeserving in any conceivable way and I say this as someone who wanted Boscha to just frick Amity into submission and mind break her into being her Sister in Law / Wife at the gleeful encouragement of Odalia
Luz could have been the Blight Family maid. Her and her mother.
Odalia is so fricking hot i want a thicc nasty woman like her as my live in bang maid
I will never not laugh at Kuvira’s introduction
>this random earthbender we have never seen before gets this jarring 30 second scene where she introduces her name, talks about herself, and then a close up of her smiling
>nobody brings this up or acknowledges her until Season 4
>Where in the sweet living frick did Kuriva find the mining location for all of this platinum for her to forge into a killer robot
>WHY DOES THE ROBOT HAVE FRICKING PEW PEW LASERS
>WHAT SUB ELEMENT OF BENDING CREATES LASER BEAMS
>>WHAT SUB ELEMENT OF BENDING CREATES LASER BEAMS
It was spirit vines or something
t. wiki reader
>The fact that everyone on Cinemaphile was comparing it to Attack on Titan should have been a warning sign about his Cal-Arts Grad students get paid to watch popular Shounen Anime then are immediately instructed to make shittier versions of it
>shittier versions of it
Alright let's not be ridiculous, Korra was bad but it never got AoT bad.
Counterpoint. Aot was good until the final arc destroyed it. Meanwhile korra has been bad since the beginning to the end
>then S4 turned into Gurren Laggen
It was nothing like Gurren Lagann, unless that is just the only giant robot anime you've seen.
>The Dark Avatar
this and avatar wan were both literal fanfic nonsense
>We want the Miyazaki audience
I love how it's revealed how because of the Island Turtles humans and spirits were living in the same plane of existence but Spirits, being the massive buttholes that they're just hated human simply for the fact that we're not spirits
Especially that moronic cat thing that really hates Wan just for even walking near him
>BEGONE HUMIE TAKE YOUR MORTAL ASS BACK TO THE ISLAND TURTLE YOUR KIND AINT WELCOME HERE
>>We want the Miyazaki audience
That was what the original Avatar was thoughbeit. Better than the shounen stuff in
Miyazaki did jackass spirits better in Mononoke anyway, they're just people that operate on bigger scales and the brighter ones can remember and repay kindness.
Between that and getting yin and yang wrong yeah that's where I gave up.
Avatar is remarkably bad at representing Eastern concepts despite mining the look for all it's worth.
How can her past lives be "gone." That'd be like waking up to the last ten years of your life suddenly and literally not existing. It's such a non sequitur.
Hot take but for whatever faults it had I think Teen Titans 2003 was better at being anime influenced than Avatar.
Post the face you made when Unalaq said, out loud, "I will become the Dark Avatar."
>GO GO POWER RANGERS
Season 1 finale
I didnt like it in the first place because in my mind it replaced what shouldve been a direct sequel to the original show featuring older versions of the OG cast.
It's one of my favorite shows, I couldn't drop it if I tried.
You posted it, I was clinging onto it like a moron until that point then I just threw my hands up and said "Frick this". Korra should go down in history as the unquestioned worst Avatar for that shit, they should do like that one Pope and exhume her fricking corpse to put it on trial for that shit.
Being the next Avatar will be hell if they ever get into any situations
>Koh the face stealer is taking people’s lovers? Hey, I heard that one of my past Avatars dealt with tha-….

>Korra should go down in history as the unquestioned worst Avatar for that shit
I like the idea of next animated series that one anon posted in a thread years ago in which it would take place in post-apo wasteland filled with murderous spirits and one of the main things the avatar would have to do is to unfrick the connection to previous avatars cause his only guide is Korra, giving him/her the worst advise possible
sauce?
Crisisbeat
appreciated, anon
Back in the day I always felt the creators suddenly going "ASAMI AND KORRA ARE TOTALLY LESBIAN, THAT ENDING SCENE IS SYMBOLIC, THEY GAY WE SWEAR" was a spineless move to turn the show into a sacred cow above criticism, I do remember how bad it got the smallest criticism made you "homophobic".
Reminder they legalized same sex marriage in the water tribe.
Episode 1 being really fricking boring made me realize that everything that could have been interesting wasn't going to be and I was right. Amon being a bloodbender was the last straw.
Futanari wiener
Yeah, yeah, we all know the porn was better than canon.
Futanari SUB.
It's insane how Korra is supposed to be this "strong female character" par excellence, but not only is she stupid, she's a JOBBER. She loses every meaningful fight she gets into, even fights she should easily win. It's embarrassing. I get that you don't want her to spend the series on Easy Mode but you've got to let her have at least ONE significant victory.
Korra's stupidity would have been endearing and actually very attractive if this was just Tomboy energy and her overconfidence results in her in situations like this
Nah. She's dumb in the unattractive way.
Measurements?
I'd want to smell her fat fricking balls after a workout.
Even /d/ coomer posts can't save Korra
Korra's biggest sin is having so many hot girls stuck in such an awful series and most of them are written to have completely atrocious personalities. As still images they're great though.
When Korra destroyed all the past avatars does that mean there's more in the future starting with her or do they not get an afterlife at all anymore? Either way a third Avatar show is going to need to be either Cyberpunk or straight Space Opera
They confirmed that the Past Avatars are 100% gone forever. For any future Avatar it will be as if Korra was the first one.
A grim fate for the Avatar World….
Korra being the first one is fine if the next Avatars look to her as an example of what NOT to do
i feel like that would either get retconned or fixed if there is any subsequent series
I agree, they’ve had over 10 years now to realize how utterly moronic and stupid that idea was.
All they had to do was make it so Ravaa was so weak that Korra, and only Korra, couldn’t use the past Avatars anymore. That Ravaa would have to wait for the next reincarnation cycle to fully heal.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they throw that line in there in the upcoming Korra movie
>I didn’t watch Korra
It’s hard to explain just how bad the writers of the show are without experiencing it yourself. It’s like when you hear about Jar Jar Binks and go “well he can’t be that bad” and you watch him and he’s so much worse.
Pic related is the DARK AVATAR btw. Don’t worry about, that just exists now.
>I wouldn’t be surprised if they throw that line in there in the upcoming Korra movie
They're making a movie?
Yup
Is a redemption arc really what i want to see? Can't we all imagine how it happened somehow instead of begin shown?
Who said it'll be a redemption and not a doubling down, i mean are you familiar with Korra?
Forgive me I was misinformed
Here’s what’s happening

No new Korra stuff. Sorta. Pic also mockup because I know there’s gonna be that ONE guy
Either way, Korra will be a lot in this since she is now the only previous Avatar the protagonist will be able to communicate with.
>>NEW AVATAR EARTHBENDER SERIES FOR 2025: SET 100 YEARS AFTER KORRA IN A SETTING SIMILAR TO OUR PRESENT DAY ONE
>100 years
Why?
I’m guessing the creators are so lazy now they can’t create another interesting setting
We went from eastern Chinese fantasy to “NEW YORK….BUT 1920s!!!!” And now we’re just probably going to be “San Francisco 2024.”
>San Francisco 2024

Can't wait for the Avatar to get stabbed by drugged out tweakers shitting on the sidewalk every four feet.

Based we'll be officially hearing that Sokka got cucked in animation.

Don't be optimistic. Everyone but Zuko is getting recast.
>NEW AVATAR EARTHBENDER SERIES FOR 2025: SET 100 YEARS AFTER KORRA IN A SETTING SIMILAR TO OUR PRESENT DAY
Oof. Literally the worst possible option and they went ahead and took it. Or maybe not:
>Currently we don’t know how far in the future this Avatar’s era will be set, but a very rough approximation based on previous Avatars is that if it’s set ~100 years after Korra’s time, it will be in the Avatar world’s equivalent of our world’s present day.
Sound like they're just guessing based on Korra living as long as Aang.
>SET 100 YEARS AFTER KORRA IN A SETTING SIMILAR TO OUR PRESENT DAY ONE
Dead on arrival.
>When I'm the Avatar who has to bring balance to Sato City™ and the only Avatar Spirit I can ask for help is the one who created the hellish dystopia I live in in the first place
People always bring up this point, but Korra is the only Avatar who would have any relevant information for a future avatar anyway. What the frick insight would Aang or Kiyoshi have about dealing with non-benders wielding firearms, or regions forcing their will on other places by manipulating globalized economics, or even how to deal with bending in a city mostly made of metal? What is Roku going to tell the next avatar about how to approach the political landscape of the modern Earth Republic(?), or new Fire Nation and helper Air Nomads, or reunited Water Tribes? What is anyone besides Wan going to know about humans living alongside spirits?
Korra is the one who knows the modern world and its current political landscape. She is the only one who has dealt with the spirits and humans both living in the modern world. She is the one who has dealt with complex post-industrial technology, and is fricking a global industrialist, so has some insight on the economic balance of the world. She is the only metalbender or spiritbender two vital skills in a world where metal is increasingly present and spirits are everywhere, probably knows the most about Wan in the past like 900 avatars.
Look at this moron for example
>Kiyoshi: bro, just move the land slightly away, then the conqueror can't use his swords to stab your people or reach you with earthbending. What? Airplanes? What is an airplane? Subma-what?
>Roku: What do you mean the person close to you is joining terrorist who are committing bombings? You mean like a catapult? They're firebender bandits attacking villages or something? They're financed by ganglords protected by the law? Like they're stealing gold from tax collectors to buy spears and armor?
Man I love asking people who don't even understand the basic workings of the current world for advice that's three centuries out of date. Better call up Charles I to ask how to handle border control and declining populations.
And despite all this, Korra would still provide worse advice because she has a brain the size of a peanut
You’re trying way too hard for (you)s
Aang knew all that shit.
Oh yeah no I’m sure NO future Avatar will need a previous past Avatar before Korra to help them in a dire situation. It’s not as if Korra herself needed their help either.
Hm? Pic related? Nah I’m sure if it was Korra by herself she would’ve gotten her bending back….somehow…in a few lifetimes. Even though she doesn’t know energy bending without Aang…
>IN A SETTING SIMILAR TO OUR PRESENT DAY ONE
What happened? Bryke were unironically into all this meditation and yoga, Miyazaki and kung fu movies and stuff. Did they just stop caring about eastern stuff? Because you know it's just going to be more Americanized than Korra.
Is this what happens when half the fandom only cares about shipping bullshit
maybe it they will be doing modern Asian countries
>Fire Nation became the factory of the world and is the most polluted place in Avatar planet
>Earth Kingdom controls trade and earns shit load of money. is a democracy on paper and is actually controlled by cabal of corporations that generate 85% GDP while hiring only 10%
>Water Tribes are stuck in their old ways and have to deal with pollution generated by Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation
not sure what to do with Air benders
Bryke's original concepts were for a FLCL and Cowboy Bebop inspired sci-fi show.
Oh God. I didn't see that when I typed:
No doubt it'll replace mysticism stuff with some genetic stuff.
>Genetically created Avatar facing down the real Avatar.
Or something.
>New Avatar defeats clone Avatar.
>Revealed a hundred more vats.
>ARMY OF CLONED AVATARS!
Can't wait for all the awful romance writing and cringe ass shipping that is to come from all that shit.
None of those are happening.
>It’s like when you hear about Jar Jar Binks and go “well he can’t be that bad” and you watch him and he’s so much worse.
Why do people still get ass ravaged ocer jajr jar when much worse star wars characters exist now such as holdo
No you just hate women if you honestly believe holdo is worse
She absolutely is worse and i do hate women like holdo and im not ashamed of it. Their is no reason for a star wars movie to have a le mansplaining subplot
Well at least you’re honest
Yes anon, hating a character who does virtually nothing with 20 min of screen time is rational but hating a cgi character who was in 3 fricking movies is “totally misjustified”
It’s not about gender, Holdo is a nothing shit character. Jar Jar is the same exact he’s shoved in my face 10 times more
> who does virtually nothing with 20 min of screen time
They unceremoniously killed ackbar and expected you to suddenly like resting b***h face-the character who stood in his place while she berated por and gets 90% of the squad killed for no reason. And yes i know there was a deleted scene where they say she withheld some information because of fear of a spy but that doesnt account for all her actions and they shouldve kept said scene in the movie but they didnt because rian johnsons a fricking hack.
Seems like you just hate women
Imagine caring this much about nu shitty Star Wars
Nu wars is shit thats why i hate it so much because it ruined a childhood favorite franchise of mine, and again i do hate women who are c**ts like holdo. Not all women are like that, but someone whos a b***h like her deserves to be hated
Rose was stupid but not nearly as bad as holdo
Holdo at least can serve a narrative purpose. I see where they went wrong with her character arc and come up with a more satisfying one (like having her learn to trust her subordinates in contrast with Poe learning to be less reckless). That thing that makes people hate her can merely be a flaw that she would learn to grow out of in a better movie.
Rose? She's just a preachy shit who has to blatantly sum up the moral of every scene she's in and offers nothing to the franchise, just there to earn brownie points from China.
>She's just a preachy shit who has to blatantly sum up the moral of every scene she's in and offers nothing to the franchise
I agree, but holdo was more of an obnoxious c**t to me
>Yes anon, hating a character who does virtually nothing with 20 min of screen time is rational
Why wouldn't it be? People hate characters with less screen time than that all the time. People hate Annoying Orange with just one episode worth of exposure.
>Jar Jar is the same exact he’s shoved in my face 10 times more
Jar Jar does not rant about mansplaining to my recollection, he just does a bumpkin routine and a lot of physical comedy. If nothing else he's worldbuilding in the form of a new alien race with unusual capabilities, and a native guide for an important planet, which inherently gives him more value than a random human of equal annoyance. I can get hating him, but let's not mince words about why he's considered an acceptable target but no portion of the "Sequel trilogy" is.
Rose was way fricking worse than Holdo and Jar Jar combined.
>and i do hate women
>Hating Jar Jar is seen as morally virtuous because he's percieved as "mocking marginalized minority folxxx.
Classic modern Cinemaphile, you can't even hate Jar Jar anymore because that makes you not based and epically redpilled enough
Holdo actively belittled a main character. Jar Jar was clumsy but well meaning. Why in the world wouldn't people hate Holdo more?
You didn’t watch the prequels if that’s all Jar Jar was to you
Hating Jar Jar is seen as morally virtuous because he's percieved as "mocking marginalized minority folxxx." Hating anything from Didney Wars is seen as morally inexcusable because it's marketed as woke media, and must be defended with the "you just hate women" maneuver.
Christ, I hadn't even finished typing and here it is.
>Hating Jar Jar is seen as morally virtuous because he's percieved as "mocking marginalized minority folxxx."
The vast majority of people who hate Jar Jar don't even know or think about him as some Caribbean stereotype. If anything that's just tacked on as an additional reason, bu- Jesus Christ why the frick do I have to explain this to you, this post is pure election tourist
YOUSA IN BIG DOO DOO NOW *forced comic relief slapstick*
> this post is pure election tourist
Well it’s nice that you labelled your post, silly wokie.
The prequels are still shit.
Holdo acts like a condescending c**t sure, but she has a very small presence in the film. The lionshare of the stupid concerning her is based in disney-tier writing and the plot developments involving her - her absolutely idiotic 'plan' and the decisions she and Leia chose to make.
Jarjar is painfully annoying to listen to, an incredibly stupid character, and has way more screentime than holdo.
I'm not a Holdo fan but she doesn't actively dominate the movie like Jar Jar does.
>Jar Jar was clumsy but well meaning
Jar Jar literally helped create the Empire.
That's beyond simply "clumsy", and "well meaning" stops meaning anything in the face of such abject stupidity.
>Jar Jar literally helped create the Empire.
He just followed Padme's orders.
>Jar Jar literally helped create the Empire
That's not fair. He was put in a position he shouldn't have been in and just did what he thought his job was. Like if you let some actually moronic dude use a stove, and then go "What the hell you monster! Look at what you did!" when he burns your kitchen down.
Meanwhile Holdo was intentionally a c**t for no real reason.
who the frick is holdo?
Laura Dern with purple hair in The Last Jedi.
what, was she rey gun's great grandma?
>upcoming Korra movie
>i feel like that would either get retconned or fixed if there is any subsequent series
If that's the angle, might as well retcon the chi bending, lionturtles, dark avatar and republic city. besides those elements Korra is salvageable as a set up for the next avatar.
Like some random sandbender has to deal with a earth kingdom civil war after Kuvira dies.
>sandbending avatar
K I N O
Yeah it's just a neat style.
The next avatar should be born in the sandbending tribe and also be able to do glassbending.
I will do you one better, his signature piece of gear should be a onyx stone.
>Swamp Korra.
>Sun Warriors firefriend.
>Sandbending earthfriend.
>Bounty hunter non-bender.
Don't forget the mechs and resonance bullshit.
>They confirmed that the Past Avatars are 100% gone forever
Didnt watch korra, why did they do this exactly? And not just why within the show, why did the writers think that was a good idea and not just a case for how much of a frick up korra is
Thematically, it represents the start of a new era through returning to the old: the spirit gates or whatever they were called were unlocked and the two worlds are one again undoing the """"mistake"""" made by Wan, the threat faced by Vaatu has vanished again just like it did at the very start, and there's no past avatars left. The show had "returning to your roots" as a theme for the second season, and the ending reflected that through the ultimate reset of the world back to where it had been at the very start of the avatar cycle. That, I think, was the aim.
Too bad it was all a crock of shit.
At least that means Wan is gone too.
>Either way a third Avatar show is going to need to be either Cyberpunk or straight Space Opera
And that's cringe.
This just convinces me that a future Avatar series can only work in the past. And even then, we're gonna miss out all the fantastical steampunk tech and bending advancements that the Hundred Years War brought. Kuvira's mech looks stupid, but all of the other ones fit with the aesthetics well.
Any further and it's less fantasy and becomes a more generic modern setting
NTA but I agree. With the stupid 1920s shit Korra did and the giant mechs, the next generation of Avatar will either be too close to a modern setting or lose too much of its original eastern identity
With 10,000 years between Wan and Aang, there’s really no limit to what interesting settings they can come up with
…
Anddddd now I just remembered they’re doing an Avatar Kyoshi movie….for some reason.
I wanted World War Avatar where Equalists start producing guns but its revealed that the casings of the bullets are platinum tipped which means Earth Benders cannot bend them back. They need to use special armor and shield to tank the rounds while approaching their target
Makes way more thematical sense then "lets give this terrorist group a bunch of Stun Buttons because that is totally what you wanna use against ARMED POLICE"
Avatar being an American cartoon for children honestly helps it from doing certain stupid shit, but not being allowed to have guns is pretty stupid. People tend to imagine guns as OP machine guns, but in AtLA they could've just been primitive hand canons and arquebuses.
I always loved the Fire Nation ships but remembering they have catapults instead of canons make them feel naked.
Its circa 1920-1940
Why is Asami not carrying a Tommy Gun going "LOOK KORRA IM HELPING!"
>for some reason.
Strong lesbian warriors anon. Those are always the answer in modern days.
I hate how in the LA they cucked Roku for her.
Dumb decision but casual audience absolutely loves the OOC Kyoshi that was made canon.
>OOC Kyoshi
We only knew her from flashbacks when she was already an experienced adult, not really a lot to work by
The fandom flanderized her as KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL
Is that how she was in the books
Its the design of the mech that is the problem. Look at the mechs that Hiroshi built vs the mech that Kuriva spent years making in secret
Hiroshi's mechs are an extension of Fire Bending engineering since early tanks were being mass produced during the original series but they were very slow and needed multiple fire benders to operate much like how the drill needed an entire standing nation army to slowly approach the wall
But Hiroshi's mechs only need one person brave enough to operate the big daddy suit. Meanwhile Kuriva's mech looks like its model is ripped from some budget mecha. Like it fits more in Darling in the Franxx then it does in Avatar
Make it a post-apocalypse. A full on Fist of the North Star ripoff with an Avatar coat of paint.
>What was the moment The Legend of Korra was a lost cause to you?
Episode 2 iirc. I already had lost faith in avatar with the asspull in the OS finale. Korra was a irritating protagonist and republic city was so fricking boring.
Tenzin and his family were the only thing I liked about Korra.
Do any of you fricker have Swampbender Korra greentext?
No but I used to have THAT Korra greentext.
You know the one….with the baby….
Here you go, boss.
Thank you.
>Genuinely how do you write your main character to be this much of a c**t and not notice?
Some people have a really hard time predicting reactions. like that one guy who tried to make the MC a tragic hero but came off as moronic because he refused to change shit despite adding RNG into his story.
>Greeting. I am the Avatar's animal companion, a half-alligator.

Hoowee, makin’ bacon
>Swamporra what’re you doing?
>Fishing.
>But you can water bend?
>Yeah?
>So just water bend them out?
>Now why would you try are ruin fishing?
Isn't it funny how Korra is dumber AND more likeable like this?
Would have been an unironically better series and even worked with the idea of change and the past vs. progress and shit that they were going for.
>when you’re with her you’re thinking of me
Genuinely how do you write your main character to be this much of a c**t and not notice?
>"I'm the Avatar, you gotta deal with it!"
Seeing her bend 3/4 elements at the age of 5 showed utter contempt at the very idea of character growth. Especially with her opposite, where Aaang learning how to earth bend was a milestone of personal development. It should always be a sign of the upcoming mastery of the Avatar, where they overcome the hardest part of the journey. To ignore this CENTRAL aspect of the journey of the Avatar is to show such contempt to the idea of Avatar that I had nothing but the same contempt for them ever since.
How do you guys feel about Lavabending?
I dunno, it’s one of those things that yes, it makes sense in universe, but that doesn’t stop it from being stupid
It’s a bit of a stretch that earth bending=lava bending but whatever I can accept it.
Bolin just magically learning lava bending out of thin air was mind boggling stupid.
>earth bending=lava bending
No more so than water benders being able to control ice, imo
I've always wondered if their able to freeze water does that mean they can boil it too
>How do you guys feel about Lavabending?
It's fine but it feels kind of moronic it wasn't developed earlier, even if it is realistic.
Air has the shittiest sub bending possible.
I like it. I just wish it wasn't something that other benders could learn that easily. Same with metalbending and lightning generation.
Hell, I would like the theory that a bender with a Firebender and Earthbender parents would be only one to be able to learn it, but alas...
The method feels glanced over. When it was introduced we saw the guy heat up the stones until they became a molten star saw but later it looks like they skip the motion/set up necessary.
People learning bending quickly is a problem with Korra as a whole. Baby Korra being to earth, water, and firebend, Wan knowing immediately how to bend from the lionturtles like it’s a superpower, all of the new airbenders instantly knowing how to bend, ect.
I always thought lavabending could only be done by an earthbender and a firebender working together. One takes away the heat, the other moves the rocks. But it would take tremendous power to be able to do so.
my headcanon is that only people whose parents are an earthbender and a firebender can do that
I have no problem with either of these. We've seen lavabending before, and maybe it shouldn't be easy for a goofball like Bolin, but lava is malted rock and it fits the series.
I thought flying was stupid at first but it being some esoteric air nomad stuff achieved only by one monk makes it cooler and fleshes out Air Nomads for me
If this wasn't the series that did Dork Avatar stuff, it would've been easily accepted
Aang has proven countless times that Air grants Levitation. He demonstrates this constantly everytime he enters the Avatar state and shows the fullest extent of it in the final battle with Ozai who has also discovered the ability to fly
Zaheer just wanted the freedom of the wind guiding his body from place to place hence the whole "Be the leaf"
Flying is fine but boring.
Maybe make it a combo technique that can only be used by two highly spiritual earthbender and firebender working together?
I'm more upset that it's an earthbender technique rather than a firebender one. We saw the firebender temple in TLA where a previous avatar melted through rock using his firebending to create secret caverns. Now earthbending can metalbend and lavabend? Tha'ts just heaping on tons of stuff just because. And Toph only could metalbend because of her unique way of seeing through vibrations in solid objects to see the impurities inside iron.
The rest of the metalbenders can't see that, are they just guessing where the earth is then? I guess with bloodbending, the entire body is made of bloody parts even if you can't see it, but people who are metalbending that aren't toph should be really weak at it. Even in the final episodes of TLA we see an example of her trying to metalbend and despite her ease that she moves rock, she was really struggling to move just a bit of metal.
Overall lavabending is cool but the execution is very flawed.
>We saw the firebender temple in TLA where a previous avatar melted through rock using his firebending to create secret caverns
I think it was Roku. The Avatar has been dead for 100 years so the Fire Sages were probably working with faulty memory and legend at this point
>The rest of the metalbenders can't see that, are they just guessing where the earth is then?
Seismic sense is something you can teach to any earthbender, Toph is just good at it because she was taught by badger moles and has to rely on all her other senses much more
The comics involve her teaching earthbenders about metalbending
I don't mind it as a thing people can do, but I disliked how they portrayed it as a power some people just have instead of a skill any earth bender could learn.
They fly now?
No jump good!
>Earthbenders can bend Metal and Lava
>Firebenders can bend Lightning
>Waterbenders can bend blood
>Airbenders….can only do air
To be fair being able to fly is a pretty useful ability.
It's not enough of an upgrade next to the other ones. I guess the writers shot themselves in the foot with making sensorial amps so basic.
It's not an update to airbending, it's something anyone can do, you know, completely detach themselves from the world.
Ozai also discovered that thru propulsion Fire Benders are also capable of flight but that could also be chalked down to Ozai being so goddamn angry all the time he's the most dangerous living thing in the mortal world.
What I meant was that what Zaheer did was something spiritual that anyone could do without having to be an elemental master.
TBF their entire culture got nuked for a century and the airbender population just managed to reach the double digits again give it some time
can bend blood
Heal too.
Airbenders are essentially the most spiritual though? And can fly? And maybe Gyatso killed all those firebenders by sucking all the air out of the room and creating a vacuum.
Waterbenders can bend plants, blood, and chi-heal (Korra-era spiritbending was dumb).
Firebenders. They can bend "all water-based fluids", including blood on a full moon, and the polar tribes bend ice.
Firebenders bend, broadly, "heat energy"; lightning (secret royal technique), heat blasts (combustions, Sozin and Roku could bend the volcanic heat), and in the comics, smoke.
There's also the fire-based chi-readings.
Earthbenders can bend earth in all form; stone, sand, molten rock (lava), and earth-based materials: metal, crystal, chalk, salt, coal.
Airbenders are more subtle: vacuum, sound (de)amplification, fartbend, and hypersensitivity. Problem is that their SO SPIRITUAL schtick was kinda diluted by water-healing in ATLA and water's spirit-healing and fire-reading in Korra, but they can astral project and have a connection to the spirit world.
Kinda biblical: one's soul == the breath, so spiritually spirit is air.
Oh man, breaking the Avatar Cycle was just a dumb, dumb ideas. What's it with writers and making everything wrong because they refuse to acknowledge that the audience was right
Not a lost cause, but having Lin apologize to Suyin despite Lin being in the right was just tasteless
What the FRICK was up with Suyin? As far as I can tell she spent her entire time in the show being a terrible person and never had to reckon with that. Was she a writer's pet or something?
The entire family was dysfunctional imo
>Was she a writer's pet or something?
Yes. Even in those awful comics she was made to be right AGAIN against Kuvira
Do you think they'll rectify this in the next Avatar series?
2 ways they can handle this
>admit they made a mistake and fix it
>double down because “subverting expectations and insulting your fanbase” is the current trend
I think we both know what they’ll pick
Thinking back, they were insulting the fanbase all the way back in Book 3 of ATLA. What the frick was the point of teasing Zutara when everyone and their mother knew that Kataang was the endgame? It was just to piss off the Zutarians. The Zutarians were stupid, so at the time we laughed about it. But looking back, it was the start of a turn for the worse in this franchise.
The romance was shit and we all knew about it. If you don't want to include that shit in the series just leave it in the epilogue episode.
Honestly the best thing to do with shippers is IGNORE them. Shippers gonna ship, nothing you can do about that, but you can't let it interfere with the story you're telling. At most, throw out a tweet or an Instagram post saying how much you appreciate their engagement with your story. But don't start engaging with them IN your story itself. That's a complete recipe for disaster.
No, if anything they will make it worse.
A random “gangster” having lightning bending. Including Mako. And the fricking fact it was used to power electricity in a city. moronic lack of culture
I think the theory behind this is after Zuko became the Fire Lord, genetics started regressing where what was once a rare ability among the privledged class is now a genetic trait among the angriest and most ruthless fire benders that why a lot of the Ag Ni Kai use it when they try to do crimes.
Or how about the fact how Metal Bending is no longer a quirk unique to Toph
Or how Blood Bending is just something all Water Benders do
>genetics
But the problem is it’s only one generation apart.
1 drop rule.
Exotic bending was never genetic. The gripe is how it doesn't feel special anymore with very little gained from it.
Look. This is the Industrial Revolution in the Avatar universe. Gone are the days of isolated communities whole entire sub classes of benders need to power the cities
You'd think the Equalists would be the most Ted K group out of all the villains but its actually the Red Lotus and even then they dont lean too into this because Zaheer doesnt really believe in his own ideology since his obsession with wanting to kill the Avatar cycle goes completely against the air code of "Pacifism until there is no other options."
Gyatzo had to kill those fire benders because he knew once he did he couldnt continue living
Zuko just made sure people were educated about it, he would have been all for mentoring people the same way Iroh mentored him.
It was a royal family secret technique, nothing more nothing less.
Nah, you just want it to be
Why Amon needed to fake his identity at all
Because someone would recognize him and say he is a waterbender
Shit twist is shit.
>all this arguing over what ifs in a shitty continuation of one of the last great american cartoons.
Just post the lewd Korras and be done with it
The end of season one was rough, all attempts to make the meathead avatar engage in diplomacy and subterfuge were thrown out the window so she could punch harder, but that wasn't it.
I tapped out in the beginning of season 2 when Tonnolok or however the frick you spell his name was basically doing everything but shouting I AM DOING ALL OF THIS I AM THE MASTERMIND HAHAHAHA NOW I WILL KICK A PUPPY and the entire Avatar team was going "wow what a cool dude"
Tonraq is Korra's dad
Unalaq is Korra's uncle
Unalaq was the season 2 villain you're getting the mixed up
Personally I lost interest when it was revealed Aang was a shitty dad. Pointlessly damaging a character in that way is in my opinion a far worse offense than worldbuilding shit like fricking with the bending lore or breaking the avatar cycle.
Agreed
Aang really wanting an air bending child and even treating him more favorably is understandable considering they were wiped out. But Katara would’ve absolutely nipped any of that shitty dad garbage in the bud the second she noticed it. And I refuse to believe she wouldn’t notice “Oh hey Aang isn’t being a very good father to OUR CHILDREN”
He gave birth to Tenzin who is literally the peak of his culture only for Bumi who was born with zero bending ability despite having 2 bending parents both of which who're masters of their craft and one of them being the fricking Avatar was given Air Bending thru magic bullshit
So purity has nothing to do with Bending anymore. Its just copying your Island Turtle Magic into your next of kin. Its like making a "shortcut"
That wasnt even the worst part about that entire story arc. Not only was Aang a shitty dad but Toph was a shitter mom.
You think Bumi and Kya had it bad? Suyin's terrible behavior was REWARDED by Toph. She left her in charge of a CITY which is now MORE POWERFUL then Ba Sing Se since its now backed by White Lotus funding
Imagine early onset sociopathy gaining you a permanent political alliance with the fricking Avatar.
Remember when Lightning killed Aang?
Remember how Lightning was instantly nerfed in Korra/the comics to make it where hitting someone with it just makes them go “Ack!”
Roku literally explained how being in the Avatar State without proper training over ones mind body and soul makes you extremely vulnerable
>>
Yes but that doesn’t answer the question
Lightning KILLS in the original show. When Azula aimed at Zuko in S2 it was going to be a killing blow until Iroh redirected
When Ozai aimed at Zuko in S3 it was going to be a killing blow until Zuko redirected
When Azula aimed at Zuko in the finale (wow Zuko is really fricking unlucky with this shit) it was almost a killing blow that was only saved by Katara healing him
Lightning was always deadly. And then in the rest of the franchise it’s nerfed to only hurting someone slightly or to the point where Azula hits Zuko dead on with Lightning in the comics and the next panel she stands up talking like nothing happened
And that’s not even mentioning the bad parts of why nerfing Lightning was bad
Whose idea was it for Mei to get a nobody boy toy that looks like some Peter Parker Stan? I want the next fire avatar to be azula’s decendant and finish what Sozin started
>Peter Parker Stan
I thought there were no whyte pipo in Avatar universe.
Yeah it’s a perfect world
No israelites either. Though they added black folks and street shitters in the korra comics
>black folks
Where
>street shitters
Guru Pathik was obviously Indian, Indians in Avatar aren't far fetched Indian as black or white people
Zaheer should have plummeted like a rock the second he went to go kill Korra. That's not being detached from the world.
I mean I stuck with it, but in retrospect, the airbender kids effortlessly beating dozens of equalists- including by fartbending- felt like a real low point that they never really managed to recover from.
This show was dead to me the moment people like Varrick and Suyin were considered to be good people according to Tumblr and I knew we were not watching the same show anymore
I was so deep into the sunk cost fallacy into S3 I kept thinking "This is it. This is the moment where Asami realizes she's been wasting her time with this stupid group bleeding every penny of her resources dry."
First it was the Blimp to Ba Sing Se
Then the Wheel Chair scene
and when it was finally time to give Asami a proper character arc she made herself a prize for the Avatar.
Asami’s whole character arc can be summed up as “Surely THIS season she finally does something interesting?”
More like "surely this is the moment where it dawns on Asami holy shit my dad was right. FRICK BENDERS!"
there should just be a /lok/ and /atla/ general at this point so we stop having 5 avatar threads at a time
Oh no, FIVE WHOLE AVATAR THREADS!???
Oh my god, someone needs to get Hiro to make an Avatar board right NOW! This is on the same level as MLP!
By god, how will I ever [ignore] threads I don’t care about? If only there was some way to not click on them….NOPE. WE NEED A NEW BOARD STAT!
Cinemaphile was always an avatar board
You know you fricked up your lore when even normies are refusing to eat it up like slop
Easy: the animals being the original benders were just myth and folklore that grew over time
But then it looses that connection to nature thing that the original had
But Toph and the Sun Warriors learned from them, even in modern times. And copying the moon was still relevant for Katara and Aang
The Last Racketbender
The lion turtle imbued the capability, while the animals provided the skill for ancient benders to harness their power
>Lion Turtles gave the basic ability to bend, but it was sloppy and unrefined. Studying the animals is where proper technique comes from.
Lion turtle bending is still moronic, but it's not hard to bullshit an explanation for this.
The power to throw elements isn't the same thing as the art of bending. They literally show Wan doing the dragon dance while a voice over says "He uses the elements like no one else", how dense do you have to be to not get it?
I get it, i get that it's bullshit non cannon crap.
Did you think that the magic powers literally came from nonbending humans watching the "original benders"? That obviously wasn't how it worked, it was always an innate thing. Otherwise Sokka could have learned how to waterbend from looking at the moon or how to fricking airbend from Appa.
Lion turtle spells it out in ATLA when he teaches Aang to stop Ozai. Originally people learnt how to bend the energy within themselves. Then they learnt from nature to bend elements.
The original powers came from enlightenment and eastern philosophy style ideas of people harnessing their own energy.
Frick the lion turtle bullshit. Even if you have to handwave why people are so limited in terms of learning it's still more interesting than "generic gift from the gods number 4"
You're confused. I am not talking about the lion turtle in Korra. I am talking about the lion turtle in ATLA.
He says humans first bended the energy in themselves. This is analogous to "chi" or some other eastern philosophy. So humans learned how to harness their energy or chi or whatever. Aang used this revelation to block Ozai's bending.
The implication in ATLA was: humans bent energy in themselves, then learnt from nature to bend that energy as elements. Do you understand now?
I understand just fine, It's just a very boring angle resulting of the writers digging themselves into a hole and having to shit themselves out to end the series.
I think they needed an arc to explore energy building in the original series. Rather than it being such a small thing.
I was more commenting on the explanation of bending. I think that original explanation is far better than the Wan stuff. But I think we are talking about two different things here.
I see where you are coming from, I tend to lump the AtLA ending with Korra lore because that's was when they introduced it and the hate it brings out.
It's just frustrating.
I don't see the ATLA and Korra lore as being anything alike.
The ending, the last few scenes when the turtles show up because Aang could learn from Roku's mistakes without getting censored.
Ozai getting bent was always planned, as far back as the series bible, the only difference was that energy bending was something only the avatar could do.
Then it was a poor plan from the very beginning. What was the benefits of having a series long angst fest about having to kill the antagonist when you couldn't resolve it in a satisfying or coherent way?
>Aang: I don't want to kill the genocidal maniac threatening the destruction of the world as we understand it
>Kioshi/Roku: FINE YOU TWAT! Go to the peak of mount whereverthefrick and meditate to understand energy bending so you can seal the firelord's power. If you fail we will possess you and kill everyone in the fire nation including you.
because DRAMA
I guess they thought it was clever, like the rock restoring his avatar state in the same fight.
Writers digging themselves into a hole looks like this:
Bending is in the genes therefore Aang must frick 30 women but it's not enough so people suddenly mutate with spirit energy and their kids will now have the airbending gene-energies. Who's in charge of the auto-balance of the bending teams? Not the avatar, the lifestream or something, a ploy from the lionturtles? This is a hole.
Do you know why waterbenders bend the water? Because they're water people from the water country and they all dress in blue. This is freedom.
Yeah it's feels moronic because it is. Some of it you need to roll with for the story to work but at some point doesn't feel like a coherent story anymore.
Breaking down the fairytale was the exact line of thinking which brought about Korra so beware with your midicholiran-tier bending.
call me when Sokka waterbends
Some enlightened humans bent energy in themselves. They then learnt how to bend elements from animals/moon. They couldn't bend multiple elements because it was too difficult for their spirit to handle the different natures of bending elements. Their bending shifted their spirit and became ingrained in their offspring and also the subsequent nations they developed.
This is better than, people lived in back of fire turtles and got powers given to them but also somewhat learnt to refine it from animals/moon.
*On the back of lion turtles
I don't like this idea, but I like the idea of being given the ability to bend by some spirit or something. I'd attach some crazy caveats to it though; like Sokka an only bend by using a weapon as a conduit. He could collect water onto his sword, but without his weapons, he can't bend. Otherwise he's just shitty, weaker Katara.
>You get to touch her anywhere you want for 60 seconds
What do you do?
suck her wiener
>suck her wiener
Her muscles because they’re impressive
When the interesting premise was forgotten every season.
>How are non-benders treated? Do non-benders despise the powers benders have and blame them for the wars and conflicts?
You can actually explore this topic in a series and have something to say. But oh no, Amon is a blood bender for the twissst and in the end there are some non-benders on the council, problem solved. Move along.
>How do spirits conflict with a modern world of technology? How should the Avatar maintain this?
Doesn't matter because DARK AVATAR BABY!
>What happens after archaic regimes are overthrown?
Zaheer ends up just wanting to kill the Avatar.
>Rise of Fascism?
Oh Giant Mechs, and spirit vine guns, God help us.
Pro bending, love triangles (specifically for a tumblr audience) and the Wan shit are all just the tip of the shit iceberg. The specific reason I feel so mad is that The Legend of Korra was meant to be more mature than The Last Airbender. Aang and Zuko's moral dilemmas were much more mature and interesting than anything Korra went through. In trying to be deeper it was more shallow. And I actually think The Legend of Korra was part of an early wave of this in media. The desire of modern creatives to be deep in pop culture productions inevitably leads to it being even more shallow than the older stuff.
>set up amon as a cool non-bender villain who learned energy bending
>ACTUALLY he’s just a water bender who takes people’s bending with blood bending (don’t ask how people can suddenly blood bend with out a full moon)
>unceremoniously nuke him and his brother and never acknowledge him or his movement again
Even as a kid I thought that was the dumbest shit imaginable
Don't airbenders have astral projection
No that’s just Avatar stuff
Jinora could spirit walk and she wasn't an Avatar.
Sorry, I pushed all the stupid contradicting stuff into the back of my mind.
Apparently you’re right, it’s an air bending technique. No clue how but yep
Also:
>Flight
>Move silently and potentially control sound
>Suck the air out of someone's lungs.
>No clue how but yep
Every bender also has certain traits. Earth bending is strong and connected to the ground, uncompromising like Toph is. Waterbenders flow and move. Firebenders breath and use potent emotions like rage. Airbenders are light, like air, and detatch themselves in a spiritual way. Basically all the elements also informs the nations, somewhat.
I think this concept of their detatchment and behaving like the wind is what leads to their culture and spiritual powers.
That's just a spiritual thing it's not bending
When Amon was revealed to actually be a crook and the mayor an evil bloodbender and that their entire backstory was "crazy dad bad" I figured this show had no interest in making good on its premises and that's usually the sign that it's only going to get worse from there, so I dipped
From the looks of it I was right
>KORRA YOU HAVE TO GET INTO THE ROBOT! AN ANGEL IS ATTACKING!
Korra should have been born in Republic City as a street urchin. Then the White Lotus find her and tell her she has to maintain the balance and shes like "Why, I've lived in poverty?" She travels the world and feels like a fish out of water when not in the city. Have all the same themes but maybe Korra seeks to help things? Maybe non-benders do have a bad end of things. Maybe the spirit world is in disarray. Korra stands up for the underdog and seeks change as the Avatar of Change. And then Zaheer is inspired by her and overthrows the Earth Empress and causes the rise of Kuvira. And maybe Korra's arc is that she reasses being an agent of change. Maybe have some growth like that.
>Asami is the rich girl to parallel her street ways.
>Mako and Bolin are her street friends who have difficulty with her new position.
>Tenzin is Airbender and White Lotus man who tries to get her to maintain things.
Instead we have a "firey" waterbender with no connection to anything whose lesson is what, that she occasionally stops being so firey when it comes to situations? No real arcs or lessons.
Korra's father is the high chief of the South Pole he not only controls the entire South Pole but the White Lotus built its base there and they FUND the Southern Water Benders with Fire Bender reperations that come from Fire Nation Taxes
Its reminding me a lot of those Krimson Guard conversations in Jak 3 where if you just immerse yourself in the destroyed remains of republic city you can listen to the guards go "I miss the old Baron"
You should have done this with the Fire Nation. "I MISS LORD OZAI!"
Question 1: is not the next avatar after Korra an earth bender?
Question 2: is the world thanks to the open doors to the other world not realy prone to be a doomed/ruined one?
Question 3: Is overall the world of avatar not trapped in cycle?
Question 4: Are Avatars just know they are the avatar or is needed to rise and train them to be a true avatar? AKA can there be a avatar born that dont know?
Question 5: I am the only one seeing a good opportunity to unfrick korras errors without retconning it more then korra already have done? Just make it post apocalyps with lost tech and teaching. A total reset started by a c**t that can't and ended and solved by a true hero!
>Question 4: Are Avatars just know they are the avatar or is needed to rise and train them to be a true avatar? AKA can there be a avatar born that dont know?
Aang didn't know he was the Avatar, he ran away because he found out and didn't want the responsibility
With Korra, she already knew how to bend different elements so it was pretty obvious
I like the idea of future storys have the opportunity to make a old farmer/veteran being told to be the avatar and let him see the world korra has left.
thx for answering.
to your consern about post apocalyptic setting: look at chinas histroy... many ups AND many doomsday level downs. People are prone to forget skills and reseach if hunger and death is at there door. Dobble it if things from beyond are 50% of the source of hunger and death. No mad max last ride of the old tech needed.
>I like the idea of future storys have the opportunity to make a old farmer/veteran being told to be the avatar and let him see the world korra has left.
Don't the Kyoshi books start her off like that?
Also if I ever made an AtLA series, I would make it be about some side stories of normies or grunts.
There's a lot you could work with these guys
>look at chinas histroy... many ups AND many doomsday level downs
I wanted something along the lines of the Chinese Civil War but I think Kuvira already did that
>earth avatar
>ba sing se in ruin with a ruler with weakclaim
>underclass and unbender uprisings still on going
>vineeleven every weak thanks to a open doomday portal
The story dont even need to leave the earth kindoms... its all conflict ready to be told and solved! Back to the roots and tell the stroy of the people like we had with Aang!
I dig that.
>some basic ass old man who never realised he could bend because he's an npc who just farms, cuts wood, mines etc to provide for his family that's lazy and takes advantage of him, still loves them and shit
>eventually old gay finds he can bend earth, his family sells him out or something happens along those lines that causes him to be put in a completely different place from what he's used to
>He might've somewhat awakened to his bending as a kid(with it not being overt enough for him to realise) or used it subconsciously(and subtly) during work but due to circumstances never got to realize it
>can have gags where people expect a super powerful wise guy because he looks like one when he doesn't know much of anything about that but he has to do his best to pretend to keep up the hope that avatar is back and will fix everything
>themes could focus on him learning to live and how it's never too late to start things and maybe family not always being a biological thing and more about finding close people that you can call such
>due to age he's struggling with bending but still keeps at it much as he can and his crew helps out because nobody ever said that avatar has to solo everything for some power of friendship stuff
>maybe a bit grumpy that now he has to learn kung fu magic and youngsters are teaching him and being smartasses about it when he just wants to go back hitting rocks with pickaxe
>explore combo bending(like maybe he draws water and burns it to create steam which he then can move with air and keep hot with fire) which others also participate in but it's harder to coordinate for non avatars since both need to get it just right
>maybe have an arc of the crew initially only helping him due to his status and being buttholes(or some of them) and only later growing to like the person behind the title even if he's not the best at what he must do
Granted I'm not very imaginative but my sleep deprived brain finds that as a fun road trip.
making him a fool is a to common trope.
making him a narrowminded expert that can be the thing.
A sage about how to mine and refine ores that thinks he isnt a bender himself and hates the bending bandis roaming the area of this little trade town.
One day while fighting of said bending bandits he notice he is a bender too... by bending the wind while throwing a rock to stop the bandits from harming a fellow villager.
Now armed with the irony of his life he heads out to the west to find out what is going on.
Meeting friends, solving conflict and being a mentor to yound heros born in a time of ruin later he accepts his role as avatar and trys to fix the small things first so the world does not need to be saved from the big things later.
>Yes, they would be an Earthbender
>The world is fricked, Day 1 after the finale I vividly remember people up here posting Koh threads about how he’s about to have a feast.
>in the reincarnation cycle? It will always occur unless the Avatar is killed in the Avatar State. Only then will the cycle be broken and the Avatar is done.
>Usually an Avatar is told that they are the Avatar when they turn 16, so as to not burden a child or let it go to their heads. Aang was told when he was 12 only because of the Fire Nation War starting. Korra was told when she was 3 or 4 because….I dunno. Perhaps she accidentally firebent when she was a toddler and knew right then and there.
>I’m not with the idea of a post apocalyptic setting in Avatar. It thrives off of its Chinese eastern fantasy roots, going Mad Max would ruin it for me imo
>>I’m not with the idea of a post apocalyptic setting in Avatar. It thrives off of its Chinese eastern fantasy roots, going Mad Max would ruin it for me imo
NTA but I could see a post apocalypse idea ala Numenera or something like that:
>the setting treats technology with much the same approach as magic in a fantasy setting. The native tech level is roughly medieval.
Where civilizations have risen and fallen and now the tech level is much lower but older tech still exists and is treated like magic.
You get my wipe man.
The timeframe also can work out.
Let Korra fight the "end" of the world until she reaches 60 years or so.
Make the next, not knowing, avatar spring into action with the age of 40 as veteran that never truely left his homeland. That 100 years of histroy waiting to be (re)explored.
>is not the next avatar after Korra an earth bender?
yes
> is the world thanks to the open doors to the other world not realy prone to be a doomed/ruined one?
yes, Korra forgot that there were spirits that were truly evil by nature and I doubt that the older spirits are happy about what humans did to their lands.
> Is overall the world of avatar not trapped in cycle?
Yes, that is the definition of order and chaos, everything changes and stays the same, the world will go back to shit no matter how hard the avatar tries.
>Are Avatars just know they are the avatar or is needed to rise and train them to be a true avatar? AKA can there be a avatar born that dont know?
yes.
>Start learning to firebend, disrespects the master, ignores his orders to goof off, treats the element as a toy, almost kills his girlfriend.
>Start learning to waterbend for real, disrespects the master, ignores his orders to goof off, treats the element as a toy, doesn't learn shit by the time they leave while his girlfriend is now a master.
I know that he is a kid but come on even the most moronic kid learns to not frick around with scissors after stabbing someone once.
It doesn't help that there is only a single episode between those two elements.
Book 1 episode 9.
>Aha! I have defeated you! And now even though anyone who can oppose me is completely helpless in front of me with no witnesses, I'm going to leave so that I can come back later and defeat you again!
And it happens TWICE in the SAME FRICKING EPISODE. Once with Tarrlok in the present when Tenzin and the group confront him and again with Yakone in the trial flashback, about two minutes later in the episode's runtime.
I know it's a nickelodeon show so it isn't like he can murder them or whatever, but it really made both villains seem completely incompetent to throw away such a clear advantage. It made me feel like a moron for trying to take the story at all seriously.
>I know it's a nickelodeon show so it isn't like he can murder them or whatever, but it really made both villains seem completely incompetent to throw away such a clear advantage.
Yeah, the answer to network censorship nerfing a villain who should be happy to kill his helpless enemies is to not write him into situations where that's a possibility in the first place. Absolutely sloppy plotting.
I could only work with a post-apoc setting if it's very loose with the term and relies a lot on spirits and all the frickery they do. Even the giant a mech shooting laser beams was still fantasy due to it being spirit vine shit or something, shooting energy is common in even wuxia books/movies from the 1910's.
I dunno, I didn't read the Korra comics where they go more into the Spirit World. AtLA's and LoK's depictions of the Spirit World are also both kinda different
somewhere between start-of-book 2 Korra being a total moron that insults Tenzin, her dad, and her boyfriend, and needs any extra hints to tell her that the Northern Water tribe invading her home is something she should be against, to Unavatu beating her with only one element and randomly becoming a giant for some glowy kaiju battle.
I still watched though, and Book 3 still entertained me after.
Book 4 nosedived back down.
Either at the end of S1 or beginning of S2 when you realize the show isn't going to have a strong central mission like teaching Aang all the elements. Each season just jumped around to different subjects and made different things important it just felt incompetent
The second we got introduced to a toddler using three elements including her opposite.
Somewhere early in the first season, the pacing threw me off and there was just better stuff on tv that wasn't boring as shit. I had watched all of the original as it aired and I swear the worldbuilding didn't take nearly as long to get going. Granted I was a kid at the time and wouldn't have been able to explain why I didn't find it interesting but I knew well that it wasn't worth my time after the first couple episodes. With how much people b***h about this one I think I got lucky.
I also dropped Adventure Time around S3 and I think Cinemaphile loves that one so you win some and you lose some.
I watched all 4 seasons. I was pretty mad about book 2 and the big robot in book 4. It would have been so cool to see the giant train gun and a bunch of earth benders and metal benders creating stable ground and laying tracks for the weapon to make it's way to Republic City. The threat show up in the distance, masses of benders making a wheelhouse to angle the cannon to fire in new places around the city. The gang taking the fight out of the city to try and stop the gun...but no, we instead got webm related.
Beats the pebble dance in the first live action movie.
Amon not just being a blood bender, I continued after that but only out of sick curiosity rather than actual interest.
when the avatar stopped representing the spirit of the planet and became a merge between a moron and a carpet
after amon was revealed to be a water bender
>representing the spirit of the planet
Did they ever say that or indicate what the avatar was an "avatar" OF? Either way, I think I don't care for all the Wan stuff because I prefer things to just stay and feel mystical
No its only ever implied, when aang feels the moon spirit. iirc it was a dropped idea, that only made it into one of the nickelodeon web games.
>I prefer things to just stay and feel mystical
I agree
>that only made it into one of the nickelodeon web games
Which one? I might remember it, I played almost all of them
I think yang chen explains it in escape from the spirit world
I want Korra to force me down
PLASTIC SURGERY
Now THIS feels like shit you'd see in a aimless shounen anime people thought Avatar was
>Grey/Hazel eyes to blue eyes
How
Amon looks like his father after plastic surgery, somehow it is implied that that surgery changed Amon's father's DNA, that is magic.
NEED thick, hard, veiny water tribe wiener down my throat asap
Do you think they'll recast Korra, Mako, Bolin, Adami, and Tenzin because none of them are Asian?
Recast them for what? Show's over Anon
In the sequel specials the new studio is developing.
>ATLA
>An ongoing journey spanning 3 seasons with 1 big bad and a couple major antagonist along the way
>Korra
>Separated into 3 different smaller stories, each having 1 less developed big bad while trying to make them 'grander'
They fricked up with Korra's formatting. Even fanfic stuff is better than how cringe Dark Avatar was.
Korra unlocking air bending was the beginning of the end
It would have been more interesting if following Korra getting chi-blocked, she would only be able to bend water, earth, and fire in the Avatar state.
>muh dark avatar
everything about season 2 was a mistake
>You are the next Avatar after Korra
>You got humans problems that Yangchen could have solved
>You got spirits problems that Kuruk could have solved
>But you can't talk to them thanks to Korra
I would kill myself
Total spirit death
What was Kuvira's ultimate goal anyway
Unify the Earth Kingdom as the Earth Empire. Which, honestly, sounds like a good idea. The Earth monarchy was archaic.
>Unify the Earth Kingdom as the Earth Empire.
Huh, thought it would have been something more sinister. We know if she planned on keeping something like a monarchy in regards of succession?
No, but Kuvira did plan to marry Toph's grandson. I think Suyin was against the Earth Empire because it would have meant that her city couldn't keep all its wealth to itself.
Frick it why don't I just make my own fanfiction describing what I think the world is
airbending being brought back by the already huge asspull of harmonic convergence felt extremely convenient. granted they probably couldn't think of a better less morally questionable way to have a decent airbender population for any future series but still
Aang and Katara should have had four children- two boys, two girls, all airbenders since all children of Air Nomads are benders. Each child is in charge of an air temple and live with their own families. Katara retired to the South Pole following Aang's passing where she finally got to teach water benders.
Ty Lee should have been an airbender. There should have been an entire plotline about how airbenders remained in hiding and how even though they can bend they have no interest in continuing Air Nomad culture.
>Ty Lee should have been an airbender. There should have been an entire plotline about how airbenders remained in hidin
I always thought it was bullshit how Sozin managed to kill every single little airbender on the planet
I think it's bullshit how airbenders only lived at air temples and were all annihilated by Sozin. We know airbenders got around. Aang had traveled to see Bumi and Kuzon before he was even a teenager. Hell, it's canon Kyoshi was the daughter of an Airbender.
It also really rubbed me wrong how essentially Korra and co. forced anybody with air bending capabilities into becoming air nomads.
This part also rubbed me the wrong way once airbenders were asspulled back into existence. Tenzin getting anally devastated when the first airbender they encountered in a random village saying ‘no thank-you’ to Tenzin trying to recruit him into being a nomad, and Bumi pointing out it was legal for the Earth Kingdom person to conscript a group of airbenders only for everyone else present to give him shit over it despite them wanting to force those airbenders to become nomads (I.e being fricking hypocrites).
>There should have been an entire plotline about how airbenders remained in hiding and how even though they can bend they have no interest in continuing Air Nomad culture.
This would have made a lot of sense. You can't tell me that no one ever struck out on his own to make his fortune in the Earth Kingdom or wherever because he didn't fit in with nomad life. There should have been a few Airbender bloodlines descended from those misfits, whose kids could be recruited to help restore the temples. Make it a thing where friendly spirits or sky bisons can help sniff them out and you have the makings of a new world-spanning avatar quest.
Yeah but "the last air nomad" doesn't sound as good.
They could still use the Last Airbender moniker. I mean, Aang wasn't the last Airbender when Appa and other flying bison exist. It can be a question of whether one actively practices the art, not about capacity. Do you call someone a swimmer because they can swim but haven't swam in over a decade?
>Ty Lee should have been an airbender. There should have been an entire plotline about how airbenders remained in hiding and how even though they can bend they have no interest in continuing Air Nomad culture.
while on one hand i can understand why they didn't want to go down this route kinda throws the whole last airbender title out the window especially if by making already established characters like ty lee secret airbenders considering how much of an asspull korra's solution was, having a handful of airbenders who don't care about the culture survive would probably have been the best route. hell throw in a side plot about azula and an overarching them of rebuilding from the war and it could have made one hell of a season 4
Remember when book 3's spanish episodes leaked, so we had a team making spanish to english subs?
Remember the theory crafting?
Remember Korrasami going from crack ship to canon?
I think the reason Cinemaphile acts like a jilted lover with the Legend of Korra is because of how fricking invested they were with it. Meanwhile I saw the writing on the wall the moment Korra fell for Unalaq's schemes thus proving she had learned fricking nothing AGAIN
>I think the reason Cinemaphile acts like a jilted lover with the Legend of Korra is because of how fricking invested they were with it.
the power of COOM is truly a force to be reckoned with
I remember creating and inserting the subtitles into the videos themselves only for some anon to post it fully done after hours of trying for nothing lmao
at least Cinemaphile was fun
very little coomerposting you disappoint me anons
Master Shake, Korra's abs, hatefricking, Jackie Chan
WE DIDN’T START THE FIRE
IT WAS ALWAYS BURNING SINCE THE WORLD’S BEEN TURNING
we're talking about stuff that disappointed us and the korra porn was one of the few redeeming things
this moment. ATLA stated that the opposite elements are difficult for an Avatar to learn, but toddler Korra already knows how to firebend for some reason.
Has this moment always triggered autists? I don't remember anyone getting pissed off by it back when the show was airing.
It was always kind of a Litmus test, where a lot of people who found that bit annoying were smart enough to just drop the show instead of forcing themselves to watch the rest since despite being a five year old it was an indicator of exactly how the fricking sixteen year old would act for like four whole seasons. A shitmus test, if you will.
And as someone who watched this shit solely because his friends begged him to watch it too, this was the moment I felt I wanted to change the channel were it not for them
It was always a "yeah, whatever" moment to me. Korra didn't truly become insufferable to me as a character until S2.
>being a child when Korra released
That is just WEIRD, man.
TLoK ended like a decade ago.
I was hoping TLoK would explore how much people are defined by their bending abilities. Firebenders have a leg up against nonbenders because skilled firebenders can go to power plants and provide lightning for the electrical grid. Should Earthbenders be obligated to be in construction? It's unfair that some people have the ability and some don't. Is it bad to squander their gift and instead become accountants?
>TLoK ended like a decade ago.
N-no it's only been a few years
9 to be more precise.
That was the hope with the equalist faction but that fell flat.
I remember when I first heard that Korra was going for a Prohibition-inspired setting and thought it was a stupid decision even as a kid. Turns out I was right.
Friendly reminder that Sozin was the WORST!!!
When I saw lightning benders being common and doesn't explain why lightning benders are now common.
Be honest: did anyone else just straight-up drop the show?
I gave up after the Book 2 finale. Everything about it was so stupid: Korra inexplicably having spirit powers, the big kaiju fight with Unalaq, Jinora doing whatever the frick she was doing, Raava in that teapot for some reason, then Korra leaving the spirit portals open, for some reason... it was just too much.
I watched about five minutes of the first episode of Book 3, and I felt nothing, and I realized I was done with the show. I never watched Book 3 or Book 4.
>did anyone else just straight-up drop the show?
I gave up on episode 2 and learnt the rest through osmosis and re-upload fight scenes. I still had a better time than when I watched it normally lmao.
I was disgusted that Korra defeated the biggest bad of all with a Care Bear stare. There was a lot to be repulsed by from that finale.
Book 3 turned out to be the strongest season in TLoK. Having an anarchist foursome hunt down Korra to end the Avatar cycle was a lot more intimate that Korra battling her sanctimonious Uncle as giants in the harbor. Book 4 was another bummer, but it was better than season 2 easily.
That and the unnecessary backstory for the Avatar. It overcomplicated things. I would have accepted the traditional Hindu belief that the Avatars were the reincarnation of a god, but the shit with the kites were so dumb. They also retcon the origin of bending in that season.
It shouldn't have reduced the conflict down to light/good vs. dark/evil. The Avatar could have been the spirit of humanity- someone who protects both free will and nature.
It was a incarnation of the spirit of the world but that got Retconed later on.
What's republic city's tax policy and who fixes all the potholes that earthbenders leave everytime they fight?
It's copied pasted 1920s New York! Do your own research moron!
>who fixes all the potholes that earthbenders leave
Earth bending day laborers
Some say they even do it for free!
I dunno, I guess midway through S1, when it just generally wasn't as good as ATLA.
I don't consider it a "lost cause" because S3 was genuinely great though.
Stupid forceghost Iroh. Because he's dead he's a ghost he's a spirit was that it? Spirit world? He wasn't a fricking jedi.
Iroh was Yoda all along.
I can't deal with it. It's been 10 years and i still can't.

>But Star Wars is actually a great comparison to Avatar.
wonder if the next Avatar series will make Cinemaphile start talking
"actually, Korra wasn't that bad
It absolutely will not
I forbid it
Some people have literally been meming that M Night movie "wasn't that bad" because of the new live action.
Bad is relative, remember? A new Avatar show could come out and be worse than Korra, and I'll be the first to say "Korra isn't as bad as this" if that's the case. I'll just never think Korra is good.
At least prequels are ironically funny.
Unpopular opinion but the prequels at least had some cool parts to it while the sequ trilogy has less cool parts to it then the prequels. At least TFA had some cool scenes like maz kanatas castle or that first order nazi speech
>that time i reenacted the first order speech on a discord call and my neo nazi fren said i had the vocal range if richard spencer
I miss him
Oh those silly germans
>But Star Wars is actually a great comparison to Avatar.
The sad thing is that both with SW and Avatar the people involved have forgotten how to do it. I know it gets said to death but Hero with a Thousand Faces and fundamentals of story telling matter. Both worlds have interesting stuff in them that peoples imaginations can fill but ultimately it is about a heroes journey. I think people are terrified of doing these stories because they have been brought up on Youtube criticism that seeks to tear everything down. A basic heroes journey is tooo basic to them. Every time they try to add more "depth" into things, they some how make things even worse because they forget fundamentals of creating characters and stories. It is really said watching pop culture stuff get constantly grinded in the mill because people don't want to just use some of the same tropes with a nice aesthetic and world.
For anyone else, did you disapprove of Kuvira’s mech on principle? I thought it was stupid mainly because it comes extremely suddenly without any rationale for how they made it and how it works.
But if a sequel series set in the far future had mechs I would be okay with it.
>four nations (or some new multi-bender nations) locked in conflict, or maybe at war with spirits
>teams of benders operate giant mechs
Not sure how it would work with martial arts - maybe earthbenders could provide stabile footing for the other benders in the machine.
Anyways how about some other ideas for far future sequels?aw mpa
It was stupid. The earth nation has never been the tech savvy. They always had the leisure of moving the world around them. Who the frick in Kuvira’s military would even have been trained in “mecha tanks”
I can be fine mechs in Avatar if they're rudimentary rust buckets but Kuvira's mech goes over the line.
>Not sure how it would work with martial arts
Then it shouldn't be done. But G Gundam is a thing, but that's over the line for me
>wtf is the show creating high stakes? I'M GOING CRAZY!!!!
>creating "" high stakes"" in the most superficial way possible, just to handwaved most of them for free at the end of the same season
>meanwhile the og one had high stakes for the whole show, talking about fighting back a genocidal country gmruled by a sociopath ready to Scorch the whole earth.

>Iroh and Ruckus will bond over tea and saki
And racism. I bet Iroh has a thing or two to say about Dirt Benders and Ice gays being darkies and savages.
Start of Season 3 when Korra was dragging the new airbenders out of their homes by force. It's fricking pathetic how she was STILL acting like it was season 1 two seasons later.
Also Suyin. Fricking Suyin, genuinely the worst character in the franchise.
I don’t remember, what did Suyin do that made everyone hate her?
Anons have said it before
>lol just get over me being a massive jerkass, scarring you, and not only getting away with everything but getting a ideal super city to lord over too. Our apathetic mom got over it lol!

Ohhhhhh yeah it’s all coming back to me now…
>Tenzin and Suyin are frick-ups who fail upwards in life and are treated like gods by almost everyone around them
>Lin and to a lesser extent Bumi work their asses off most of their lives but still get shat on (mostly by their families and friends)
>Latter two are more compelling characters than most other characters in show including the protagonist
Would have been great to have seen Lin and Bumi at their respective peaks in a spin-off. Shame Nick don’t do spinoffs unless it’s Spongebob.
Tenzin's pretty compelling. I actually like what they did with Aang in book 2, Tenzin is the one bright spot in that otherwise shit season. He's not perfect, since in season 1 he's balancing being the one sane politician, being the head of a nearly extinct culture, teaching the Avatar and being a father, but that just makes him compelling.
>Tenzin ... are frick-ups who fail upwards in life and are treated like gods by almost everyone around them
I don't recall that being the case.
The most obviously "written by a woman" character in existence. No accountability, no personal responsibility, everything is decided based on how she feels right now.
Tenzin has to be the worst teacher in the world. I mean Korra didn't start causing damage until after Tenzin became her teacher, ever think about that mister Bald-maan?
Typical Omni-man
Aang was a shit father it seems.
The moment it didn't open with her getting the full-anal-nelson.
Guru Pathik
Of course I posted on the wrong thread

Shut up Zuko.
You lost Sokka
She will NEVER smile at you like she does at the FireLord
Does Zuko prefer to do it with the make up on?
100% there were novels and plays made about a handsome Lord and his beautiful royal guard. A tale of a love that surpassed both nationality and social status.
Same for me OP. Korra destroying the entire Avatar cycle was when I realized these people had no fricking clue what they were doing and so decided to burn down everything that was built by ATLA out of spite.
>The past Avatars being destroyed forever was the breaking point for me
Same. The show really just fricked its own premise with that so hard. The whole point of season 1 was Korra needing to mature and open herself up to change, which was what allowed her to access her past lives. Season 2 comes along and says "Your past lives don't even matter, now go become a kaiju by meditating in this tree." Whole thing would have been fine if recovering Rava restored her connection to her past lives. It re-iterates the point of Aang's previous lives telling him to kill Ozai, but the most important part is that Aang is the Avatar NOW, and its his choice that matters. The parallel in Korra should have been that even without Rava, SHE was the current Avatar. Instead, they just shrug off what a fundamentally huge shift in metaphysics that is.
I just want to chop off Korra's breasts, deep fry them in a wok, and force feed them to her in a depraved act of auto-cannibalism. Is that so wrong?
I just want to shave Korra's head, surgically remove her teeth, and have her answer exclusively to the name of "Frickmeat", am I really the one to blame?
I just want to toss Korra up in the air with a catapult, and then shoot her in the torso multiple times with a shotgun like a quail hunter, "PULL!", would you deny a boy his humble dream?
I just want to rip out Korra's eyes, throw her in a vat of boiling oil, and shout "Marco! Polo! Marco! Polo!", am I really the one in the wrong?
I just want to tie Korra to a chair, take out a phillips head hammer, play "Can't Touch This" over a boombox, and then bludgeon her to death when MC Hammer says "Stop! Hammer Time!", why am I the one to blame?
I just want to get Korra pregnant, but instead of cutting the umbilical cord when she gives birth, instead I want to immolate the baby in the hopes of the fire burning up the umbilical cord like a dynamite stick and exploding Korra once the fire spreads from the dead fetus's carcass to her womb, why am I the monster here?
>Suki wait, won’t Sokka know the baby isn’t his if you two never…
>He’s an idiot Zuzu, I told him holding hands gets you pregnant
Cute and canon
What if the brat soon starts firebending?
Also Suki deserves to have her insolent mouth get throatfricked, only his sister gets to call him that.
I just want to send Korra to a Christian LGBTQ correction camp, have her be physically and spiritually abused by the counselors there, and then when she finally breaks and commits to heterosexuality I want to reveal that the counselors were all gay themselves, does that really make me a sadist?
>and then when she finally breaks and commits to heterosexuality I want to reveal that the counselors were all gay themselves, does that really make me a sadist?
You can only find shit like this on Cinemaphile, I swear.
>Sarcastic Chorus is a Zutaratard
Of course.
i didn't make it nearly that far
i cut out when it seemed like the show was gonna be about that stupid blitzball game or whatever they were playing
I watched it all the way through hoping for it to get better all the way up to the end and that's why the kiss is so bad to me, it was nothing but a cheap stunt to end the series on. There's worse things about the series and the kiss is the definitely the least of them but the idea that the show wouldn't redeem itself or get any better but end on something so trivial just because they had to squeeze it in leaves the series on a bad note for me.
Wait guys, just imagine it, you-

Dead god I just realized
If the next series is closer to modern times they might put in fricking smartphones and a weird social media type thing in the show
Stuff like this is why I don’t want Avatar to keep moving forward in time
>a weird social media type thing
There will be a shot of the new Avatar jumping over a rooftop at night while the shot has images of social media saying shit like:
>I <3 the new avatar
>No he's a menace
>do you think he's cute under his mask?
And the Avatar will get injured at some point and nursed by a group of Avatar fangirls who proceed to talk about shipping. While one of the girls looks like Jin and gives him tea while saying:
>Have you learnt fire bending yet??
And it'll be cringe.
The inevitable moment in the next series when someone unironically says “NON-BENDER LIVES MATTER!!!”
How is reception for Netslop Avatar, anyways?
the inception of the prequel series
Lore-wise season 2 fricked everything up. I did still really enjoy season 3 and somewhat enjoy season 4 though.
Fricking kek
it's still up
ITT: I'm starting to realize just how fricking stupid S1 actually is.
Any hope for the 2025 movie being good?
If you’ve read the comics you know there’s absolutely no hope for any future Avatar stuff

Keep up with the thread, bro. What do you think?
Oh you sweet summer child
No.
>Any hope for the 2025 movie being good?
No, as much as I would like to say otherwise. Even the premise sounds like a shit show.
The bending blocking nonsense not being related to Ty Lee at all.
I want to rewatch ATLA, is it the cartoon the same on Netflix or have they edited/recut the original show somehow?
As far as I’m aware the original show has not been edited in any way on any future releases
Actually no, the “PREVIOUSLY ON AVATAR” recaps originally weren’t there until S2, but then they went back and did it for all of S1. That’s all
Cheers, anon
Amon being a bender and the subsequent handling of the Equalist movement following that reveal (swiping it under the rug and forgetting about it altogether) is the moment I lost any faith I had left in Kora's writing team following the godawful love triangle teenage drama. And then they managed to shit the bed even harder by introducing literal spirits of Good and Evil and severing the Avatar's connection to its pass lives. What a bunch of fricking morons.
Why did Amon waterbend when he got knocked out the window into the water? All he had to do was swim up, grab his mask, and be like “THE AVATAR IS TRYING TO KILL ME!”
Boom, the damage from that would’ve been irreparable
You can fanwank it that he thought he was drowning, having been knocked out a bit from the airbending and sudden impact with the water, and in a panic leaped to a massive waterbending tornado.
Him making a mistake is believable, but such a large display of waterbending seems insane. He's an insanely powerful waterbender, sure, but he also rarely uses anything other than bloodbending.
>Him making a mistake is believable, but such a large display of waterbending seems insane. He's an insanely powerful waterbender, sure, but he also rarely uses anything other than bloodbending.
It's even worse because the water spout is considered the hardest to master water bending skill in the original show, and here he does possibly the most impressive example of it in terms of scale and control outside an avatar
Noatak makes every other waterbender in existence look like a chump.
The last 2 episodes of season 1.
>Zero coomerposting
>Zero shiphomosexualry
It's so funny that the best threads of this franchise are the "shitting on Korra/the comics" ones.
Korra rage brings the community together
When they finally revealed who Amon was
Korra never had a "droping it now" moment, it was fine, it just wasn't as good as the original. I think how every character circled back to Korra really held it back. Like the people in the Gaang liked Aang, but they had their own personal motivations for traveling with him. Everyone on team Korra just wanted to frick her.
>Korra never had a "droping it now" moment, it was fine, it just wasn't as good as the original.
>Korra
>Good
I'm angry, but curious; what about Korra do you think was good? Do you just want to frick the brown earth bender disguised as a water bender?
>Everyone on team Korra just wanted to frick her.
Parallels to be drawn between Korra and Susie from Deltarune, but no one's ready to talk about that.
>korra is on the same tier as the gay furry harem simulator
Grosd
>Lightning bending is now commonplace
right there is when it was a lost cause.
mmh Romance
when aang was a shitty dad who's kids hate him, and sokka didn't appear and was apparently killed with no explanation.
And cucked according other media.
Comics and Yang's shitty self-insert ship are non-canon.
Pretty sure Sokka just died of old age
>so just want to take down the world's governments
>No Korra, i want to take you down. To restore balance to the world. You've fricked everything up. You need to reincarnate as soon as possible, MacFricking have a nice day Korra
>You should advance the Avatar Cycle, NOW
>You serve ZERO purpose
When I heard about the past avatars been lost I hated it, but once I actually watched the show the way they explained it kind of sounded like it was just Korra's connection that was lost and future avatars would still be able to access them so I'm fine with it
No, the creators confirmed all future avatars have lost it. Korra will be the “first avatar” for anyone in the future
That’s why it’s so hated
They might have said that in interviews, but going by what's actually in the show it makes more sense to me to assume the connection will return.
If they make a third show and commit to having Korra be the new first avatar then I will hop aboard the hate train.
You were all so mean in this thread.
Maybe Bryke should've written a better sequel then
Keep on blaming everyone else.
I hate the hopeful main hero to ass hole old man arc it's the most annoying thing in media, mostly because the main hero had to have possessed extraordinary hope to accomplish what they did.
I think Bryke punished the character for not being liked. Bad twisted feels swirling around.
I want korra to pull out her futa wiener and throat frick me until I black out.
My girlfriend is half-native american and half-white. She used to play soccer her whole life too, now she turned pale and isn't fit anymore. I keep joking about sending her to muscle girl camp, and leaving her outside so she'll tan, but she does have potential to look like korra.

Why the ruck are you still rubbing elbows with us here? You are actually a functioning human being. Leave while you still can
Man I'm glad I never read the comics or watched Korra past S1
If I was Zuko, I'd frick Mai's boyfriend in front of her out of spite.
Seriously, what the frick?
Why did we need those comics?
Why did we need the Korra comics?
It was done because Yang waifued Suki and self-inserted as Zuko. He made Mai a b***h to justify their breakup and then kept doing teasing with Zuko and Suki.
Same here! The end of season 2 was the last time I watched Korra!
it was when i saw tenzin do some stupid pose where he was standing on one foot, blasting with his leg & fist for attacking, it was just so moronic.
on hindsight, that was a good reason but the real reason should have been the story fricking sucked
>comics
okay, not truly awful. i actually liked the most recent one
>korra
worth de-canonizing
I just want to say this pregnant lady was super hot
You uh, you cropped yourself out of these picture dude.
He’s my caretaker, she actually loves me dw
>the caretaker's face when
My beautiful wife
I feeel that the next avatar will be the one who will fix everything korra and that Rava who reeks of villian did and restore the real balance like what Aang did.
Plus he looks like someone off Bolin's family so Bolin was in fact fated to be Avatar but Raava messed with it to have Korra to be the one and manipulated the events in her favor to get her freedom.
Korra so bad it now requires multiple new shows centered around redeeming it. Talk about radioactive, what's LoK's half life?
