Current Events > Finished legend of korra s1. That's how it ends? S1 spoilers

(+) Yeah! (+)

I was already having a hard time accepting the reveal of Amon's father was a bloodbender thing who somehow escaped prison (under the watchful eye of both Aang AND Toph?) and changed his face and met a woman and was normal up until discovering his kids could waterbend.

They never give any explanation to how Amon uses bloodbending to take someone's power away. I guess maybe something to do with chi blocking? And since Korra didn't have airbending chi yet, there was nothing to take away?

Bigger copout I felt was how Aang just comes back and restores her power and now she can go into avatar state. Felt like they wanted to quickly wrap up this story.

Kind of a sad story really. Tarrlock in particular surprised me. He was an ass and then outright psychotic, but he did something surprising. After Amon/Noatak failed at his anti-bending revolution (I mean, isn't it hereditary so what, he was gonna keep taking people's powers away until he dies?) Amon/Noatak escapes on a boat and gets Tarrlock to come with him. Tarlock... actually explodes the boat to put an end to that madness. That was... wow. And Noatak knew what he was doing too, and he just let him. That just struck me as really sad. All of this could have been avoided.

I still liked most of it. The animation is beautiful of course and I do like a lot of the characters. Although them being teens adds a Bit too much teen romance shenanigans.

I felt it was kind of a downer and the happy ending of Korra wasn't earned. I thought that they were going to do a lesson about how she needs to get in touch with the spiritual side of the Avatar and that's how she restores her powers. Like she learns to be patient and more in tune with harmony or whatever (since her biggest flaw has been her impetuous personality and rashness) and then she finally awakens the Avatar state and gets in touch with Aang/the rest and gets her powers back. Instead she sulks after Mako says he loves her, cries, and only after getting her powers back she says she loves him too? I felt it sent a mixed message. Aren't you more than your powers? I dunno.

We'll see what next season brings.

season 2 is generally considered the low point of korra.

Only 1 season exists

Characters I was surprised by: Asami. It turns out Stato was the villain and she was just an innocent girl caught up in it. When they first showed Asami I don't know why I thought she was going to be a villain. Just felt the perpetual sexy eye makeup was weird and typically associated with female villains, so I guess it was a bait and switch.

If she wasn't a villain then her role just seemed to be an extra love interest to the love triangle that was already going on which again, I wasn't too keen on.

Season 2 is the worst of Korra. Season 1 is the best. It's a little rushed and too much crappy teen romance but otherwise good. Season 3 and 4 are better than season 2 but I'm not all that fond of them.

Bolin was obviously supposed to be discount sokka and it shows, but otherwise he's okay. There have been a couple of good moments with him.

Mako... I don't know. He just seems to exist as the love interest of Korra and I didn't like him much. I like how he shot lightning at Amon and was able to resist a little bit.

Out of the adults, I do like tenzin

The ending would probable have been different if they knew (at the time) it would have more seasons.

Season three is the best season.

I hope not, this better not be the high point of the show, because gorgeous animation and interesting fight scenes aside, the show could use some work. Maybe if season 1 was longer they could have fleshed some things out? Then again I wouldn't want it to be padded either, with more pro bending episodes (although I don't mind pro bending, I found it an interesting way to show how bending would make their world different from ours, and yet almost exactly the same)

korra is bad. pretend they never made it or is fanfiction

I agree with this

Korra's height is Book 3 for me. Amon's arc should've been longer but it's whatever. 2 sucks, but it has a two parter that ends up being my favorite episode(s) in Legend of Korra.

korra had to wait to be renewed each season. if you were watching it weekly back then, each season was meant to be the last korra season. the arcs and story of each season had to finish cause the possibility of korra returning was uncertain.

Season 3 and 4 were confirmed together.

Season one was developed as a limited series. It was just going to be one season. Yet it's ratings were such that Nick picked three more seasons right away. That ia why each season has a contained plot.

The spirits episode about the first avatar right?

Yup. I love that two parter.
