Idk why ppl hate Korra but....

Aang was less experienced in TLA than Korra was in her show. Pretty sure aang only had 3 to 6 months of training by the end of book 3 vs Korra's several years of training by like the first episode of book 1. So it make sense that aang in tla is fodder compared to korra.

Because, as with most things from peoples formative years, they formed an odd.. attachment.. to the original series (which I get, because its fantastic) so of course anything that comes after is going to be seen as vastly inferior.

I actually didnt watch Avatar until a few months before Legend of Korra premiered, so Legend of Korra just feels like a seasons 4, 5, 6, and 7 continuation.

The hate that that show gets is so bizarre to me. Especially the hoops people will jump through in order to find fault with it.

she looks weaker and she talk a lot of shit even though she loses more.

but she only looks weaker cause of the stylistic changes in bending. No one does the larger scale attacks TLA is known for anymore favoring smaller pin point attacks instead. That makes it harder to see that every relevant bender in the series is stronger than zuko for example.

and She only loses because shes fighting drastically more powerful benders.

Basically its because she a woman and the avatar as a whole did a terrible job showcasing its power creep

She was 100% a little shit early on in the series tho. Then again, how often are teens not little shits and she grows pretty significantly as the series goes on.

I need to rewatch the shows. I watched both series when I was driving between Des Moines and Madison every week. So I was listening to it and only watching at lights, but it was 99% highway so I just listened.

I enjoyed both shows but Im blanking on who Korra ended up being against.

I do remember that the brunette she ended up friends with was hot for the style. And Im not usually a fan of anime/cartoon.

Korra had her show get its budget cut the last season, which is why the last season seemed off compared to the rest of the show.

We were denied what would have been an epic meeting between Bumi and Varrick, the two biggest BS'rs in the show. Just an entire segment of those two trying to out-BS each other

I'll give you a few reasons

  • whether you like a character or not has little to do with their power level
  • Aang's series was basically perfect
  • Legend of Korra had to live in its shadow
  • it (arguably bravely) moved away from the high fantasy stuff and firmly into the realm of shady grey politics, which alienated its fanbase somewhat
  • it tackled more difficult subject matter and therefore couldn't present a mary sue character like aang this time around. korra had to make more mistakes, be more emotional, be relatable. that made her less fun

It's because despite a proper upbringing and official training Korra fails at basic aspects of being an Avatar that Aang rarely struggled with. Temperament, spirituality, etc.

It moved to more mature topics while bringing along less mature characters.

To me I like the show but I dont love her as a character for a few reasons:

Aang as Avatar always commanded respect. He was like 8 years old (IIRC) yet he would come in and often take control of the situation. Meanwhile no one cares about Korra and she always defers to others. When she does take command it often backfires. The show didnt treat her the same it did Aang.

Similarly Aang is often shown doing crazy feats of bending, whereas Korra is often just shown punching some fire or water in the exact same style.

Lastly, and this one is a bit unfair as its their character traits. But Aang is often shown as wise as he is a goofy kid. Meanwhile Korra was just irrationally hotheaded. Just made her less enjoyable to watch in general.

I still like the series and I think they were screwed over by inconsistency around seasons and budget which harmed their ability to control a lot of these things.

also have to consider that Korra had less freedom with creativity , was threatened with cancellation, (they reveal the main villain just to kill them off since they thought another season wouldn't happen despite having plans for the villian to be a reoccurring antagonist for the series) , and was censored (no gay romance) .

Do you watch Reaction channels? None of them talked shit about it like the the people did when it was first airing on Nick. And almost all of them agree that S3 of Korra is better than the seasons of TLA, and those who don't, understand why others would. Times have changed, many, MANY people love Korra now.

I personally liked that she was different from Aang, but then again every Avatar seem to be different from the other anyway. Plus we got to see some of Aang's traits in his kids and he wasn't a perfect dad to them all.

Then I doubt you saw that show. If you want to say TLA is the better show, nobody is going to argue with you. But you have to say that the best Korra isn't as good as the worst of TLA, and that's plain incorrect or shows you have rather bland opinions.

I watched the show from beginning to end. You say I have bland opinions, but Korra legit turned every interesting thing TLA set-up and turned it into the most generic option. Season 3 of Korra was alright, but I never saw it as the highest high of the TLA-universe.

You said the best of Korra didn't match up to the worst of TLA, which is wrong. The fight scenes alone are mostly better than TLA. The story of the original Avatar is way more interesting than Secret Tunnel. What you said was just wrong, lol

I don't give a damn what anyone says. The original Avatar story-line, along with every part of season 2 was the worst part of the entire Avatar franchise. Do me a favor, and please don't bring up anything to do with that, makes me shudder every time. Big disagree about the fights as well. Animation-quality may technically be better (before the budget went to hell), but the fights lost the weight (and I don't mean emotional, I mean "the weight") that the original series had.

Aang was far less experienced tho. Only had like 3 to 6 months of training the other three elements by the end of book 3. Ofc he wouldn't have had accomplished much compared to a seasoned veteran (korra) in comparison.

Korra by the end of the first episode already had a decade of experience with earth, water, and fire bending. She was trained on being the avatar since she was a toddler lol.

Sorry, Korra is not a Mary Sue. I don't particularly like calling Aang a Mary Sue either, but Korra is so muuuuch farther from being a Mary Sue than Aang ever was, despite winning against the "God of Evil, ooh so spooky." As a matter of fact, part of the annoyances I had with Korra was how much Korra would struggle at times. Really felt like they did her dirty.

Basically the entire world constantly tells Korra that the Avatar doesn't mean shit anymore and she gets her ass beat so often that the entire last season is her struggling with PTSD from being force fed can after can of ass whoopings.

But yeah, she's more of a Mary Sue than the bright-eyed idealist who defeats the most powerful bender in the world after a few months of slapdash training from other teenagers.

People are so quick to jump on the "lol incels hate brown women" train

People don't hate Korra herself they hate The legend of Korra as a series.

The legend of Korra was meant to be a single season and was later just added on to. One of the single best things of The last Airbender was how each episode brought us to a new part of the world and let us discover how it functioned. Korra keeps us almost in the same place for the entire first two seasons. Last two seasons were actually pretty good but I'm sure most people were free up with the show by then.

if you ask around most people think EOS aang is stronger than EOS Korra, primarily due to the fact he had an easier time with his opponent, and the false assumption that he was an earth and fire bending master.

in reality i think EOS aang loses to start of series Korra with out the avatar state.

I didn't like the fact she severed any future avatar's from being able to learn from the past avatar's wisdom... well except for her, now she's the "first" avatar of the new line.

And I just don't feel she deserves that spot. Now, I did appreciate her character the more the series went on so I think they did a good job of showing a spoiled firebrand turn into a strong leader-type. Again it just rubbed me the wrong way she killed all the old avatar's off.
