Yo, avatar is a great show even tho every villain sucks except zuko. There's a Lotta kid shit but it's still great. Iroh is the best, but I like aang sokka and zuko too. Greg Baldwin does a pathetic job at iroh, even I do a better impression

I remember liking korra but it was overall awful. I like raging Kratos korra but in season 4 she's way too mellow and patient. Every romance scene from season 1 on was cringey. Season 3 was exceptional and zaheer is a chad. For korra I guess the only consistently enjoyable character is bolin. Wish he got to metal bend. Anyone wanna talk about this shit?

I thought Azula was a decent villain. Zhao and Ozai were pretty lame though.

I honestly got nothing good to say about azula. Sure she's easily better than Zhao but she's so goddamn boring and lame I can't ever like her. I know the fan base nuts over her but I got no clue why

I think both are exceptional and I really liked Korra and crews development over the seasons

Her voice actress did a great job, and her lines are perfect at conveying sadism and manipulation. It's also really fun seeing her breaking after she is betrayed by her friends.

I just watched Korra and I think I like it better than TLA almost tbh. I do think she was kind of underpowered as an Avatar compared to Aang though, and the story wasnt as epic overall. Bolin was great. Isnt he voiced by Sokkas VA?

That was probably by necessity. The Avatar State is essentially a deus ex machina in the original series. It's just such a giant power multiplier. Korra got around this by having it be the hurdle she couldn't pass. She'd mostly mastered the elements, but she just couldn't connect to the spiritual side. It was only in the very last moment of the first season that she gained the ability to go into the Avatar State.

And then Nickelodeon said, "Fuck it, give us another one." So instead of the relatively elegant way they'd dealt with the problem, you get a season where it's inexplicably weaker than when Aang used it.

The gf and I just finished our rewatch of TLA like an hour ago lol

It really is phenomenal. Top tier animated show of all time imo

Anyway Korra season 3 >> TLA as a whole > Korra season 1 Korra season 4 >>> Korra season 2

Imo of course.

Ahh...so it was meant to be a 1-season thing? That makes a LOT more sense; Im still glad we got more seasons though as I still enjoyed them quite a bit.

Nick fucked with them a LOT. Season 1 was going to be the last. Then Season 2 was. Then they got S3 and S4 ordered. Then they slashed S4's budget so much that they could either fire most of their staff or do one less episode (this is why there's a clip show). Then they decided S4 would be online only.

Yeah, S4 going online only halfway through was what really sealed the deal for me that Nick didn't know wtf they were doing with Korra lmao

I seem to remember the rumors being that Nick didn't want to air an implied lesbian relationship on network television. Dunno if that's true tho

Korra was weak as FUCK, even before she ruined the avatar cycle. She fucking sucks for that too btw

I think Bolin might be funnier than Sokka actually. The films were the only good part about season 2

I watched korra 1 back when it came out. Then I didn't watch the others until a year or two after they came out, since I didn't know they existed. Season 3 is as good as season 2 of aang show, but seasons 2 and 4 are irredeemably bad. Also boring

As for azula, i never got the impression she was as calculating and badass as she thought she was. if a scrub like zuko can close their gap in skill, it must not have been as big as he thought it was. also, it's like she emits an aura that makes everyone around her stupid. the dai li shit was dumb af

cant believe the last time i watched this was when it aired, which was a disgustingly long time ago apparently

Legend of Korra has bad and incoherent politics too. like, Henry Ford funding communists? come on

then of course Korra starts a civil war and turns to his daughter for help in stopping it, and... no one really does anything about it

it goes really hard on the "these villains wErE tOo ExTrEmE iN tHeIr AcTiOnS"

before the big Amon reveal, there was speculation that he was using the Head chakra (like what Aang spent time learning about) to make people think their bending was taken away, and that's... much better than what actually happened

Ok, thanks for this. It explains a lot about the dip in quality after season 1. Season 4 reminded me of Season 5 of Z Nation which also had its budget slashed. I still enjoyed both seasons and seeing the characters some more but for finale seasons, the stories told didnt seem grand enough.

Yo I hated that prince wu guy at first but he ended up being so funny. Great catchphrase and badger mole songs. Too bad mako was a horrible character for 4 seasons straight

same here lol

Too bad mako was a horrible character for 4 seasons straight

I thought he was a good foil to Bolin at least in the 1st season. The whole romance-wheel was funny.

Also I just started a rewatch of TLA last night and already watched the whole first season. Maybe I do like it more than Korra after all lol >.>

it just outclasses korra in pretty much every way. i like kratos rage s1-3 korra but she becomes such a passive coward and all "mature" in season 4, which sucked. aang was cool most of the time, except for Bato and his killing hangup
