Korra joins the Red Lotus.

The reason the Earth Kingdom is so fucked up is because Avatar Kyoshi suppressed a peasants uprising and created the Dai Li to act as the Earth Monarch's secret police to prevent future rebellions.

Korra has the choice of doing that again or accepting the Red Lotus' philosophy and joining them.

She's going to join up.

Book Four will end like the Sopranos.

A final middlefinger to the fanbase.

>>64773359

>>64772717
I'll look back and remember it being a wild ride and more of a rollercoaster in terms of quality/substance than ATLA. I hope the ending goes all out on the production values like the last few episodes of ATLA too.

Bulllshit.
And you're not even trying to make a reasoned argument. Korra wasn't after Amon early on for 2 reasons. 1, she had no way of finding him. 2, she was afraid. This was dealt with in episodes 3-4.
In book 2, they weren't telling her about the spirit attacks because she knew she'd want to try and stop them if she heard. And she did, and so she went with Unalaq. She really wants to be the avatar and do the whole job, even if she's not very good at it at times.

>>64777660
They did retcon stuff whether or not they say they didn't.

When the first benders were mentioned and explained in ATLA EVERYONE assumed it meant using the element itself in general.

SUDDENLY it somehow means the actual techniques, and the techniques are bending. Even though...they called people with no techniques in ATLA benders...like Katara in the beginning.

So suddenly the first benders are people that actually learned the techniques for their element.

Also Bryke had revealed that the Avatar spirit was separate from Aang and the Avatar's spirit in interviews so we kinda knew that even if it didn't seem that way in the series (but was actually mentioned offhand by Katara)

What.
The first benders are still the ones who used the element, not the ones who learned the techniques.

What changed is instead of people somehow learning to breath fire by imitating dragons (which is great for legends and lore but not so cool in practice), the turtles bestowed the gift before that happened.
A good retcon, as far as I'm concerned, and it doesn't contradict anything.

For the love of god, please no. The series really has become stale ever since the two creators took over the writing aspect of the show. They remind me of George Lucas, honestly. The further they stay away from the creative aspects, the better the show. Just stand back and give feedback.
>>

>ever since the two creators took over the writing aspect of the show

They only wrote the first season. They gave every subsequent seasons (2,3, and 4) over to other writers so that they could focus on the animation, world building and general plotline. While season 2 was a clusterfuck of clusterfuckery, season 3 has been everything I wanted Korra to be from the get go. Yes, it's sucks that it took them 3 season to hit their stride, but at least they finally hit a stride. If season 4 stays on track with what we've been given in season 3, then I'm completely willing to forgive season 1 and 2. Well... ok, not so much season 2, but some lenience to season 1 at the least.

But the series went from over 4 million viewers at the beginning of book 1 to barely over 1 million by the time it was taken off the air.

Ok, so just to be clear, it's mostly /co/mrades that say its shit. most casual viewers at least enjoy most aspects of the show.

Book one started out pretty awesome, but the writing got worse as the season went on, with most people, even fans, being disappointed with the lackluster finale, which was the worst episodes of the season. Ending on a sour note doesn't help your show.

Then season two kinda had the opposite effect. It started out pretty similar to later book one, with the same pacing and writing issues. plus they had to get a different, much worse animation studio for the first half of the season. But the flashback episodes to the first episode were well received, and most episodes after were decent, even with the finale being pretty convoluted. People tend to ignore korra's character growth in book 2 because she was pretty unlikeable in the first half of the season, but it was one of the few things that actually was written well, because by the end of the season she had a full character arc that continues into book 3.

Overall, the LOK hate on here is a little overblown, but /co/mrades to bring up valid criticisms. It does suck that you're the sequel series to what many people think is one of the best cartoons of all time

Earth Queen.

She doesn't die onscreen, but her death is a 99% guarantee as she extends her arm upwards as a sign of help.
>>
>>64788558
What character arc? Her issue of always trying to be like the other Avatars was never relevant before or after the Book 2 finale, and she overcame it in like 2 seconds.
>>
>>64781280
>so that they could focus on the animation, world building and general plotline
>general plotline

Which is the biggest problem. Bryke's dialogue isn't too bad, but their plots are terrible. Even TLA had a botched resolution.

They seem unable to distinguish "This would be cool" and "This would be a well-constructed story".

>ratings were bad which means its bad

even ignoring how nick completely screwed over korra, you would think /co/ would be against this thinking, since most of our favorite shows were cancelled due to low ratings. Does this mean Tron, GLTAS, and Motorcity are bad shows as well?
>>
>>64790223
he probably meant her general attitude. she's much less abrasive now than the beginning of book 2.
>>
>>64791069
But that's not character development; her character is just written differently now. It wasn't a change relevant to the conflict of Book 2, nor was it one that made sense.

If she had mellowed out after the events of Book 1 it would have made more sense, as that story was heavily about Korra learning self-control, but to have her be hot-blooded in Book 2 and then changed in Book 3 for no reason is unnatural.
>>
>>64791168
do you forget her entire journey in the spirit world? where her bad attitude was literally manifesting her as a child, and she had to control her emotions to return to normal?

it doesn't get more clear than that.
>>
>>64791045

Much like /v/'s own, /co/ shitposters love to quote ratings as measure of quality, but only when it suits their argument.
>>
>>64790223
>Her issue of always trying to be like the other Avatars was never relevant before or after the Book 2 finale, and she overcame it in like 2 seconds.

It was relevant since book 1.
>>
>>64791168

The abrasiveness was not character development nor regression. She wasn't abrasive in Book 1. She was freaking out due to the situation she had on her hands, and reacted poorly, but understandably.

People don't change easily or quickly.
>>
To be honest I hate Korra as much as most people do but We need to give credit to how Book 3 was handled.

Depending on how the finale goes it might be the best book In the entire franchise.
>>

I haven't started watching season 3 yet. Does it follow the same formula as earlier ones (a couple good episodes at the start, then it goes to shit)? Will watching it make me angry at cartoons again?

Only 2 episodes left in the season and it's been good so far.

There's two episodes left, so it might be a similar situation to Book 1 where the ending dismantles the rest of the story.
>>
>>64791432
>Depending on how the finale goes
Which is key here. A proper ending is essential to a show with a continuous plotline. If the ending doesn't work, the plot doesn't work.
>>
>>64791623

Book 1 was already shitting itself by episode 9 with Makorra rearing it's ugly head.

I just hope for once in their goddamn lives Bryke doesn't do DXM.
>>
>>64791666
I'm still frankly shocked that the love triangle bullshit hasn't happened at all this season.

although I'm a little worried about bolin/opal. hope that works out. Be cool to have another member of team avatar for book 4
>>
>>64791734
>Be cool to have another member of team avatar for book 4

Not gonna happen.
>>
>>64791259
That wasn't due to her bad attitude. She overcame it with hope, not cool-headedness.

>>64791344
But wasn't to the plot of Book 2, which is why her suddenly being more calm in Book 3 isn't proper character development.

>>64791411
That's missing the point, which is that Book 2 and 3 (and the series as a whole) hasn't had a proper character arc for Korra.

Book 1 started one but dropped it in the finale and the show hasn't picked it up since.
>>
>>64791815
it was specifically her bad attitude. at the tea party she started complaining and yelling and evil spirits started to manifest. it was both hope and having a level head that helped her. When she reached the evil spirit on the mountain, she had to talk to it instead of fighting it.

and now in season 3 she's continued that growth. we see in the episode preview that she spends a lot of time debating on what to do about the red lotus, and ultimately decides to give herself up to save the air nomads, something she wouldn't have done in the past. it's character development, plain and simple
>>
>>64791815
>That's missing the point, which is that Book 2 and 3 (and the series as a whole) hasn't had a proper character arc for Korra.

But Korra has had a proper character arc so far. The big problem with these arcs is the finales have had a way to not use this characterization, but it has added up and Korra has visibly changed.
She isn't "suddenly more calm". She's been getting slowly more calm, all the way from book 1. The thing is, even people who are getting calmer aren't immune to moments where they're not calm.
>>
>>64791951
I'm not sure it could be called a "proper" arc if it has no relevance to any of the central conflicts.

It would be nice if Books 3 and 4 manage to tie everything together. I want this show to be good, but it's been a mess so far.
>>
so from the recent nerdist interview, bryke said that book 3 has a definite conclusion that won't carry over to book 4.

QUICK, come up with the plot for the next season!

Hardmode: no new style of bending
>>
>>64788466
They were talking about the Earth Queen's suffocation there.
>>
>>64792029
a character arc doesn't have to tie directly into the plot for it to be "proper". a character arc is meant to show the person changing through the events that he's going through. If you compare korra now to korra in book one, there is a clear difference, and we can see in some episodes how she changed.

and it kinda does tie into the central plot, since now korra is willing to sacrifice herself to save the air nomads, instead of going headfirst into a fight. and this was only after asking for the advice of multiple people
>>
>>64792035
Central conflict revolves around a hothead fucking up the spirit world. Korra enters the spirit world to fight him, aware that she can't rely on her bending there. She defeats him by being calm and winning over the spirits favor to help her.

Ties together all the previous experiences she's faced.
>>
>>64792126
I suppose. That does leave the conflicts themselves rather hollow, though. Just "fight this bad guy".
>>
>>64792295
>She defeats him by being calm

Boring.
>>
So it's both episodes?
>>
>>64792295
Why wouldn't she just ender the spirit world physically, so she could still use her bending?

>It'll pull us back in!
>Yeah, you never know, and we still love the world. You create a rich world and you want to play in it, but just like when Avatar finished, we're tired and TV animation production is particularly brutal; the overlap is crazy. At one point, we were working on thirty episodes at one time and, like, it's seriously awesome that people want the show to continue forever and they want us to make 'Well, who's the next Avatar and the next and the next one?' That's a great problem to have, but I'm like, you don't understand. If you're saying that, then you don't know what it's taking out of us. You know, J. R. R. Tolkein didn't write fifteen trilogies.

They'll be back.
>>
>>64795533
>They'll be back.
Nick is discovering that doing bigger and better shows with Bryke is too expensive and doesn't earn enough in terms of viewership/commercials and merchandising.

They might wanna come back, but the straight2innernets thing isn't very encouraging.
>>
>>64795618
I hope you're wrong. As much of a trainwreck Korra might have seemed for the past two years, I've really enjoyed discussing it here and just experiencing the roller-coaster that is TLoK. I really want to have the chance to do this again in another five years.

Maybe they can make a trilogy of feature-films. That seems more viable right now than putting it back on television and I would wholeheartedly accept that fate of the franchise. A trilogy about the Earth Avatar before Kyoshi could be dope; just because we don't know anything about him so the possibilities are pretty far-reaching.

Master benders from the various arts, just like every other Avatar?
>>
>>64778251
The lion-turtles just gave them the ability to bend. The animals taught them how to do it. There's a scene of Wan learning proper firebending from a white dragon.

The animals were still the first benders, they still taught humans how to use the arts. The only change is the extra step of the Lion Turtles giving humans bending.

Book 3 has been pretty good so far, but I'm confident that Bryke will ruin it by the end.

>Depending on how the finale goes it might be the best book In the entire franchise.

That's not really saying much anon, especially when it's not over.

Bryke still has two episodes to fuck everything up, as usual.
>>
>>64795618
Honestly I think the internet is the new way to go. If they had a team away from the studio and pitched a crowdfunded season with an earth avatar I'd pay for it. They can go about it as they want and not be hampered by a network with restrictions and time constraints. I realize those time constraints are an important part, but if they're getting worn down, it could be a plus to let them work on something at a pace that's more comfortable.
>>
>>64791432
Nah. The very fact the main cast is less interesting than the barely characterized villains, and that the main character of the show is almost completely irrelevant to what's going on puts it below ATLA s2 at the very least. You could remove Korra from this season and it would actually increase it's quality. That's fucked

She sold out her husbando because she thought edgeplant looked like him when he doesn't look or sound like him, used different cards, and behaved completely differently. Then, when she tries to git gud, she puts fusion monsters in her main deck, after having seen fusion monsters used in duels. She's retarded. At least Yuma had the excuse of being a fragment of someone's soul, Yuzu just has extra chromosomes.
>>
>>64800190
Joey was using that new duel disk for the first time there, he didn't quite understand what he was doing. Yuzu's dad runs a dueling school, she dueled someone who uses fusion monsters, and she's enough of a dumbass to run fusion monsters in her main deck, not to mention that she doesn't stand by her friends. She's shit.

The duel disk did change the rules significantly. Neither Joey nor Pegasus were able to figure out how you use it, which fucked over Joey.
Yuzu has seen Sora duel and been schooled by Masumi, she has no excuse beyond a defective mind for not understanding how fusions work.

>>64800444
>how you use it
It is LITERALLY the same exact shit as regular DM.

And if you think not figuring out fusions makes you dense, then what does not figuring out that higher attack monsters beat lower attack monsters mean?

The ONLY difference between the Duel Disk and the regular duels is that with the duel disk only one monster can attack at a time.

HOWEVER, you can STILL set/summon monsters in defense mode, and you can STILL make use of the backrow, all shit Joey DIDN'T DO.

Yuzu is TRAINING right now - as in, she's LEARNING how to play the game. Joey was DUELING in a match AFTER he had trained.

If you're honestly going to say that not knowing how a mechanic works WHILE TRAINING TO LEARN IT somehow makes you worse off than ATTACKING A MONSTER WITH HIGHER ATTACK in a REAL MATCH, then nigga you're just one salty faggot.

>1 monster card is placed on the "Main card stage", the centre place on the disk.
>The other 4 cards are placed face-down into the other places, the "Sub card stage".
>The players can only attack with the monster in the main card stage, providing it is in Attack Position first. It can attack the opponent's main card stage monster or one of the sub stage cards.
>Any monsters in the sub card stage are considered to be in Attack Position and damage calculation is done accordingly. Spell and Trap Cards are destroyed with no calculation done.
>The players may shuffle their sub card stages at their discretion.
