Tentacruel Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 YCM Y NO AVATAR THREAD But really, season 2, it exists, discuss it. I'm not really sure what to think of it personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 The first two episodes have been pretty cool so far, I'll be watching the most recent one later today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel Girl Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Cant wait for the fourth episode. I actually like this show ALOT more than the original. I HATE Ang, Sokka, Katara, Zuko and that lady warrior that Sokka likes who dresses up like a geisha warrior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I do think The Last Airbender is an objectively better show (but not by much), though I like Legend of Korra's characters better as well. Except maybe Sokka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel Girl Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Well, Korra is the best Avatar (besides Roku). Think the creators will make Korra more powerful than Aang, which would make the show better. Also, like the Tai-li character (the acrobat).

Except maybe Sokka. Really? I feel like TLA was an objectively better show by a lot. LoK's characters are a bit less interesting. Asami is a complete Mary Sue. And this season feels kind of rushed so far. I'm not sure where they're going with it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel Girl Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Well, there were 12 episodes of first season and there will be 52 in total, and only 4 books, so the show will not be rushed no more. Korra is a much better Avatar than Aang. I rather see an evolution from a rookie Avatar to a pro Avatar, than a Pro right from the start like Aang. He was OP from the start of the show, so that made it more or less boring to watch. But then again, Korra could Water/Wind/Fire bend from a young age, so she just needed to tearn to air bend, which I find a little disapointing. But still, evolution of Korra will be much more fun to follow than Aangs, The fourth episode will probably be ready around 28th or 29th of september. Cant wait.

Fusion X. Denver Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I'm liking the interaction between Aang's kids a lot so far. And it's interesting to see Water Benders caught up with infighting considering how everyone was united together in the last show. I have a feeling Umalok will be the ultimate antagonist for this Book, but I like that the whole situation's a gray area. I don't think uniting the tribes is a bad idea either, just that the way they're approaching it's wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 Yeah, the conflict between the water tribes was something I didn't expect, but it seems like it will be very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted September 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 It's weird but I'm having trouble siding with Korra as a protagonist. She seems to have gotten less mature since book 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel Girl Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I like the uniting of the two Water Tribes. But still, the Umalok guy seems like an evil dude. Dont like it if he's the antagonist, considering there will be 2 Water Benders as the antagonists. And shouldn't Avatar be the only one to be able to control spirit's or something? Makes no sense that an ordinary human can control them. @Tentacruel: I dont agree with you. She might act a little like a child, but still more mature than in the first book I thought Aang was a little less mature in some of the later Episodes, but that might just be me.

Catterjune Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Season 1 of Korra was pretty bad (in comparison to TLA)Season 2 of Korra is looking to follow that pattern.The biggest problem with Korra (the show) is that every side character is much better and much more interesting than the 3 Fire Ferrets.Everyone says "oh, but her reactions are so realistic!" Sure, that's true but it's not at all entertaining. I'd rather have something fun and unrealistic, like a peaceful monk or a banished prince or an isolated eskimo peasants who had to grow up too fast or some blind tough chick over some random spoiled teenager, some random guy, and some other random guy.

TAG Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Korra is a much better Avatar than Aang. I rather see an evolution from a rookie Avatar to a pro Avatar, than a Pro right from the start like Aang. He was OP from the start of the show, so that made it more or less boring to watch. I'm sorry, what? Did you even watch Avatar: The Last Airbender? At the beginning of the series, Aang was only good at air bending. He had to learn how to water bend, earth bend, and fire bend from three different people. We clearly saw an example of him not being a pro when he attempted to fire bend early in the series and almost scorched the hell out of Katara. We saw him struggle to attempt to learn to earth bend because that was the element most opposite his personality. Not to mention that he had trouble keeping his Avatar State under control. How could you say that Aang was a pro from the start when the freakin' opening of the show says that Aang has much to learn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respectufully disagree that Korra is better. She is not a good Avatar. She is head strong, hot tempered, angry, and short sighted. Those are the exact opposite traits you want in the person who should be the embodiment of balance. The first two episodes of this season show cases this. She gets angry for no good reason, she thinks everyone is out to get her, and her first solution is to punch things. And you got to see a Avatar go from beginner to master. Aang started with one, ONE, element and leard 3 over 52 eps. By 13 eps in Korra has become highly skilled in all 4. Hell, we didn't even see much of her Airbender training. Also, Aang LEARNED how to use the Avatar state. Korra mastered it off screen. Honestly, I've found the season to be weak so far. Korra has been unlikeable for 2 and a half of the 3 episodes, she has gone backwards in characer, the uncle is clearly a bad guy, Mako is bland, and Bolin's subplot looks like its going to get old real fast. The only group I like is Tenzin's and even there you have issues like all thats going on is telling, not showing. Its had fine moments, but over all what we've gotten so far as been really meh.

King of Games Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 I've really liked the atmosphere of the South Pole. The music, the look and animation of the spirits. I give LoK points for tackling relationships past "will they wont they"/"They kissed so they lived happily ever after", but it loses those points for handling the subject poorly.

I will agree that while the story itself hasn't been that strong and the character meh (for the most part) to visuals, the animation, and the sound are all insanely good. I honestly really do want to love this this, or at least like it, but its just been so meh. That sucks cause I know it can be so muc more. Yea, Avatar isn't the best when it comes to relationships. Like, Mako's comment about ending a relationship to be like "ripping off a bloodsucking leech" was a serious wth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel Girl Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Well, I see what you all mean, but I might have phrased it wrong. Korra is an OK bender when it comes to all the elements. She isn't the best at FIRE/WATER/WIND/EARTH bending, and there are way better benders in each element (just take the two enemies, Amon and Umalok, they are WAY better Water Benders than the Avatar)(dont know if giving the bending powers back to people the work of water bending or just a power the avatar possess, and even if it was water bending, it was only made by the avatar state). And what I meant with Aang was that when he had finally learnt the bending, he was a master at them. And I never mentioned anything about the Avatar Stage. And besides. I still like Korra more than Aang. The animation and the sound in Korra is better than the original. I have never liked the original that much (I dont hate it but I dont love it either).

Catterjune Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 By 13 eps in Korra has become highly skilled in all 4.Korra's Earth, Fire and Water are great. Her airbending is pretty much just punching with a flurry of wind attached to it. Airbending's all about spiral movements and agility and stuff, like Tenzin explained when he used the spinning gates. She did it once, before she officially learned airbending, but didn't really do so after.She isn't the best at FIRE/WATER/WIND/EARTH bending,I thought that was always the thing with Avatars. They never got extremely good with all the elements (like an Avatar couldn't learn blood bending, lightning, or metal bending) but they had the versatility to master all four elements.And what I meant with Aang was that when he had finally learnt the bending, he was a master at themThat's pretty far from the truth. And even if so, he was far from the best at fire, water or earth. Toph was leagues above him, what with inventing metal bending. Katara had healing and blood bending. Combustion Man and Azula regularly beat the tar out of the group without much trouble.The animation and the sound in Korra is better than the original. I have never liked the original that much (I dont hate it but I dont love it either).I'll agree the animation is better than the original, though I disagree with the music.

Spellcaster2000 Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 Always kinda liked Legend of Aang. I never watched it regularly, but I genuinely enjoyed it. I've seen one episode of Korra, the one where that women has a child and everybody has to escape and another woman sacrafuces herself. Can't remember many names. I might watch more of this.

Squirrel Girl Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 @Pika: At the start of Book 3, Aang was better than all of the benders at their regular element (a few exception though - Toph/The Firelord (forgot his name)/Iroh/Azula/Zuko/Katara). Except those, noone could defeat him 1on1 with only 1 element. Where as Korra right now isn't that good at any, except Water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted September 23, 2013 Report Share Posted September 23, 2013 And what I meant with Aang was that when he had finally learnt the bending, he was a master at them. And I never mentioned anything about the Avatar Stage. And besides. I still like Korra more than Aang. Near the end of the series both Toph and Zuko said Aang needed to get better at both Earth and Fire respectively. He was far from a master of those two. I brought up the Avatar State because what you seem to be looking for is to see them struggle with learning the elements, and honestly the Avatar State would only be an extension of that struggle. With Aang we watched him struggle with it and even had a whole episode dedicated to him learning how to control it. With Korra she gets at the end of the last season and has it mastered here. Korra's Earth, Fire and Water are great. Her airbending is pretty much just punching with a flurry of wind attached to it. Airbending's all about spiral movements and agility and stuff, like Tenzin explained when he used the spinning gates. She did it once, before she officially learned airbending, but didn't really do so after. I might be over estimating her ability. The fact that she lost an air scooter race to someone like half her ages would certainly support that. I'm assuming she has has gained some skill though, since the when she took down the kidnappers in the most recent episode she showed a fair bit of agility.

Tentacruel Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 First of all, fighting ability is arbitrary. I'm talking about the actual quality of the character. It seems like they wrote themselves into a corner because there was only 1 season planned and had to regress Korra's development. The problem is, she's gotten significantly less mature to the point of bitching off to authority figures with no justification. She's PMS'ing for the entirety of the first 3 episodes. I like pretty much all of the other characters better at this point. Except Asami. She's still a mary sue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
