Avatar: The Last Airbender & Korra (SPOILERS)

[Theozilla]

Newest trailer for Book 4 is out!

 

[trash panda]

MUCH EXCITE!!!!
I knew

Spoiler

Toph was running around somewhere!!!!!! Must find out about her baby dadies!!!!

I do hope they continue this series with the earth and fire avatar cycles. And I must say that while I loved the first season, I feel more in tune with LoK since the characters are older. That and two of my favorite characters from season 1

Spoiler

(Uncle Iroh and Zuko)

are still in town, so I enjoy LoK even more. Plus, plus,

Spoiler

baby Korra with her belly poking out in the spirit world was so cute.

:3

 

[Shademp]

What an awesome trailer. So much to observe!

Spoiler

I like that this next season will take place three years later. Allows for more changes and for the growing kids to kick more ass. Plenty of time for the Earth "Kingdom" to have changed after the chaos from Season 3. I wonder if the conflicts we are seeing is about who should be the leader of the Earth Kingdom.

Why are they treating MMA Korra like a bad thing

It's pretty badass

Currently watching the first episode of book 4 <3

Korra Alone is such a poignant episode and it took me two viewings to fully absorb the episode. My favorite character in Avatar is Korra because I love to analyze her inner workings and psychology and that episode just explored her well. I've seen a lot of reactions in the net saying it's one of the best representation of therapy and treated depression and mental illness with dignity.

 

[Carlie]

So I have found my incentive to get back on this show immediately,

Spoiler

TOPH IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also I've been told there's some Korrasami ship tease going on.

 

[Drax]

Saw the last 2 episodes

Spoiler

Korra losing to Kuvira felt kinda forced, like everything she just conquered went out the window. As expected, Toph is probably about to show up again since they're invading her treehouse--that should make up for it.

But still, my goodness is Korra getting the snot beat out of her this season.

Are Earth Benders supposed to be this over-powered? I'm thinking they get a lot more aspects to their powers than the others. Bolin's powers are untouchable at this point.

Even when she's winning, I find that Aang's bending abilities put Korra's to shame. She isn't the least bit creative. All she ever does is fling a blast of [insert element] at her opponent. Aang (and Toph) won battles with cleverness. Using earthbending to move the ground underneath someone's feet to upset their stance. Airbending to dodge rather than attack. Waterbending for rapid movement rather than attack.

I get that probending trained her to just turn bending into long-range punches, but it's not very interesting and I hope that this will teach her to get better at it. It's remarkable after all this time she hasn't really gotten any better. I understand she's rusty, but that's how she fought before too.

Korea's plenty creative in her bending e.g.: http://equalistmako.tumblr.com/post/102038733395/yeah-korras-bending-is-so-boring-so
She just isn't fighting against low level mooks as often as Aang did, so it creates the illusion that he "wins" more.

Bolin's powers are untouchable at this point.[/spoiler]

They aren't that untouchable, if they were he wouldn't struggle against the meter-suits that much, lavabending is destructive but it's also really slow and often easy to dodge.

 

[Drax]

Last 4 episodes of Korra will premiere on tv alongside online releases

Looks like they're trying to press for greenlighting to keep the series going if you ask me.

 

[Clement Rage]

If anyone's overpowered its the airbenders.

Spoiler

Two airbenders v The Entire Earth Kingdom army=draw

I fail to see how the post you linked to or what you said disproves Force's point tbh. It's simply a difference in style. Korra is more about using the power in ways that are practiced, precise hits. Korra's style is military, Aang's was artistic. They very deliberately made them different.

Whichever one you prefer is subjective, but I don't think Force is incorrect at all.

They are examples of Korra being plenty creative with her bending, sure Korra may not be as artistic/fancy as Aang in her bending, but she is just as creative and skilled in using her bending. Just because it appears she "loses" more than (largely due to not fighting as many mook opponent as Aang did) doesn't make her not as good with her bending.

 

[ForceStealer]

But as I said, I'm not talking about her win/loss record. I'm just referring to how entertaining it is to watch.

Sure, I agree how entertaining it is to watch does mostly come done personal preference. I am more concerned with what I feel are unfair judgements of characters capabilities/skills.

Just finished the first season of Korra. I liked it at the beginning and then started to really love it towards the end, since I feel like the themes are more grownup than its predecessor series. Will give it a few days rest, let it sink in and then watch the second season.

You know next year will be ten years since the original series began. Man, its really been that long. I remember just yesterday in middle school when I first heard about on Nick. I agree this series really has grown up from being a really mature kid's show to something that could honestly be shown on primetime.

Another thing I noticed is how the themes seem to fit in the era that the audience is currently in. Avatar seems to fit more the George Bush era while Legend of Korra fits the Obama era.

It's a shame they lost so many fans with the terribleness that was the first half of book two, because Book 3 was pretty great and so far I'm enjoying Book 4 - I'm not too far in yet, I'm going to watch it all in one sitting soon.
