Irosami would've been a powerful ship tbh

Well, please try. I relate a lot to that character for very personal reasons so stuff like that upsets me.

On topic, even if Jinora alerts them it will take them time to exit the Spirit World since they went there physically. Or do you think they will only explore the immediate vicinity to the portal on their months long vacation?

God forbid you can make light of a visual novel made by 4Chan.

I think it'll take time to get out of there. But really that means the characters shouldn't celebrate Varricks wedding, but get right on to preparing for the next innevitable threat of the subterranean Lizard Men awakened by Wus awful singing right?

Hell even Batman isn't that paranoid. He takes a bit of a breather after an invasion by Apokolips rolls by.

Korrasamiroh is clearly the true ship.

 

Why do you think they went to the spirit world?

The spirit world thing was what really made me raise my eyebrows when the final scene was playing out. In a discussion I had long ago, I had come to conclusion that if I was to take a SO anywhere on valentines day, it would be the spirit world(the nice part lol). So Korra bringing that up made me go, 

 

"Wat?"

So finished watching all of the LOK seasons. Well simply put, I personally found the series to be rather mediocre as a whole.

 

This mostly stems from LOK's narrative and its usage of a linear plot for each consecutive season, which I found hindered the show's quality. While I can see the reasoning behind it, allowing the show to focus on different aspects while relying on an overarching central theme, in addition to having less filler  and more productive episodes to further the plot (though the original show didn't suffer from this), it sadly didn't go in the show's favor, I found. 

 

It goes without saying that the show takes up several factors revolving around sociopolitical issues, but having only 12 episodes is not enough to warrant a credible representation of everything that the show touches upon. Issues relating to social unrest, anarchism, nationalism, etc. are rather complicated instances / ideologies to portray in an respectable way since it requires a lot of depth, taking into account several causes and aspects to delve into. Briefly touching upon the issues--e.g. throwing in scenarios about "freedom" and then showing an act of anarchy--is not enough to make it great. Certainly intriguing ideas, but fails it its delivery.

 

This also goes for the characters, which I found the majority to be rather average, excluding Korra, Lin, Varrick. Korra I do love, both as a character and a protagonist. Her being a stark contrast to Aang was already an interesting concept to explore and seeing it develop through different factors--coping with her state as the Avatar both physically and mentally, and more--throughout the seasons is an intriguing experience and handled quite well. It is a shame though that her inner circle is not as dynamic as herself (and generally quite poor in comparison to ATLA).

This goes as well for the villains, which I found everyone were rather "meh" in quality.

 

Sure, LOK is a kids show at heart, it is not a political thriller and most aspects that it delves into would fly through the majority of people's heads. Still, I find the argument to be rather weak when one compares to ATLA and how well executed it was on so many points. It knew what it was and knew how to execute on it in an orderly fashion without needing to be superficial about more "complex" events. I'm certain if LOK had had a central plot that it would have followed it could have been a stronger show for it.

 Honestly I'd love to see the more political aspects of the world as well. The small bits and pieces we did get were interesting to witness. But yes ultimately the show is a kids one at the heart of it. Honestly I wish Nick would have their own version of Adult Swim so they could explore these aspects further without it having to worry getting too complex for children.

I still think LOK is a good show due to its production values, but otherwise I fully agree. It is all, as you stated, quite rudimentary in its story and makes the villains overly "evil" with their methods. Characters are not as good as in The Last Airbender, which basically all were great, and the show is quite unstable in quality. Still I enjoy it for what it is.

[Heimdall]

A large part of the problem was that it was originally meant to be a single season mini series, only expanded after the first season was already made.

[TheClonesLegacy]

*Snip*

Ultimately, the problem was Korra was essentially made up as they went along.

 

Originally it was going to be an 8 episode miniseries, then they got a full 13 episode season.

Then they got another season, and another season, and one more final season.

 

Last Airbender had the benefit of being planned out from the beginning, not to say alot didn't change from the original idea (Iroh was originally going to be revealed a traitor to the Gaang, and taught Zuko very bad firebending). But from the beginning they had a full story lined up.

 

With Korra it went like this.

"Let's make the next series about non-benders rebelling because they feel oppressed, what's that? Nick is letting us make another season? Uh...Let's have it cover the origins of the Avatar.

Wait...They want a third season? Uh...ok...How about a group of Anarchists? SEASON 4!?

Ok, uh, come on, how about we just make it about a Fascist dictator, we can randomly shove a cameo of her in Season 3. But that's it. Final season, and she better have a goddamn giant robot."

[Killdren88]

Honestly I wished they swapped story arcs and went with a Ying and Yang sort of thing. Every being has its dark side right? While the Avatar helps and points people in the direction of peace and balance the other half thinks a more sterner approach is needed along the lines of taking control.

Would have been the best Avatar couple ever.

 

I ship it.

Well that concept existed in ATLA as well, though the show had the fortune of expanding and developing upon said antagonists, which is a feature LOK lacks to some extent.

Aye, that certainly caused the show a lack of a proper structure for it to have been developed upon in a progressive manner. They did a decent job at handling it with what they had though.

Oh yeah. It's not a bad show by any means. Its animation is gorgeous.

 

But it's not as strong as Last Airbender.

[TheViper8234]

Irosami ? ew and why 

[Milan92]

I think another reason why atleast the first two seasons suffered was the fact that Amon and Unalag were a bit one dimensional.

 

They did improve with Zaheer and Kovira imo.

 

Though even they weren't perfect.

[Milan92]

Because Iroh Man.

Indeed, a quite beautifully animated show. That and it has the thing

 

Though not enough to be close to the Last Airbender in quality

Its a common fact that sequels movies or series are nothing compared to their originals. The best we can do is like it for what it is.

Unless it's Wrath of Khan.

 

Because...nobody should have to suffer through the train wreck that is Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

[KaiserShep]

There's as much narrative support for this as the final reveal that Korra was a space alien all along.

[jtav]

I...actually prefer LoK. Except for Spirits. Lousy villain and relationship drama. Yuck.

I'm actually tempted to rewatch The Last Airbender again now

Amon would've been great if they didn't go "oh he's just a Waterbender"

[AresKeith]

Because Iroh that's why
