ITT: Fuck you, I liked it
It's not terrible. Mostly /co/ just had lofty expectations for it that the show didn't meet.
http://boards.plus4chan.org/a/
I liked it too, except of the end of Book 2.
I still like paranatural
>>78138307
I can only rewatch the first season now, but I did enjoy the rest as it came out, up until almost the end.
I loved it as a kid and during my teen years I couldn't figure out why
It was only now in my adult years rewatching the show on The Splat did I learn the truth.Doug was essentially me.
>>78138345
Nah, it was fucking terrible. I expected nothing more than a fun run of the mill fantasy story and I was still disappointed
>>78140145
Speak for yourself. The majority of /co/ got pretty hype over it back before it aired. Speculation threads went into autosage on a pretty weekly basis. Korra was going to be /co/'s /fit/ waifu (Which she became anyway. The boner gets what the boner wants).
>>78138307
>I have shit taste
Good for you.
>>78138307
It's good enough, though could've been better
>>78140775
>Speak for yourself.
Pretty sure he was.
>>78138307
Me too. It had it's problems, but on the whole I liked it.
>>78138307
Fuck you I stoped watching the show and waited for the fight scenes to be uploaded to YouTube because shit writing shit characters and shit ploy and shit 50 year time skip and shit shit shit I hated it. But at least it had shit fights. That no stakes had in any of them. Even avatar the last airbender had better fights like what the fuck how do you do worse than a show your show is based on. Fuck it is gapped to korra suffering cause I just can't stand the fucking characters concept.
>>78138307
Ultimately it wasn't bad overall. Like most /co/ related things it wasn't without it's problems. Some people just got burned by it not living up to their hype for it. Others got triggered because Bryke stapled a lesbian relationship to the end of the series, and that somehow retroactively made the entire thing shit.
Season 1 = 3/5
Season 2 = 1/5 only 2 episodes were really any good and they didn't have any of the central characters in them at all and even those two episodes negatively retconned lore from the original series
Season 3 = 5/5 On par with the best of ATLA
Season 4 = 4/5 Lagged a little and I feel like tried to do too much and took a good friendship and made it into a romance without any romantic build up. (The build up cited is basically friendship build up, there were no cues that the two of them shared romantic feelings.) Don't get me wrong, I like Korrasami, but it was tacked on to the end.
Ultimately the series would've done better if they'd focused on building a close friendship between the 4 central characters in season 1, with Korra meeting Asami first and No love triangle crap. The other seasons could focus more on Korra's friendship/feelings for Asami, with the pay off at the end and actually have a real kiss instead of a hand holding. Oh and no stupid Dark Avatar crap.

>>78141989
Man do you work for IGN?
Cause in no world is Book 3 a 5/5. Not with that Kai subplot or asspull resolution
>>78142461
I like how you only quoted the negative posts about it
>>78142461
Sure I'm overeating to show that ended fucking seasons ago because /co/ won't let the dust settle long enough to when I can actually forget the fact that I'm still fucking mad about the show I expected to be the next best Western animated series.
Might as well made it fucking 100 years into the future so steam punk would just take the entire focus of the show a completely different route than muh spirits and muh ptsd.
>>78142854
Well, they're all obvious shitposts.

I liked korra's boobs too op
>>78141793
A lot of ATLA fights weren't great and anybody who says all of Korra's fights are shit are plebs who can't into fight choreography.
Its a great series korra
Its just that people think its cool to hate things people call great things shit
Its not because korra is not awsome
korra is amazing
People just want to hate
Season 2 had some of the best episodes in the entire franchise. Beginnings, A New Spiritual Age and Darkness Falls are literally 10/10
>>78146333
Is this your first day here? Your accent outs you as someone who hasn't been here that long. There have been hundreds of threads discussion the objectiveness of Korra's quality and the very fact that you missed all of it and boiled all criticism down to "haters" exposes you as the direct opposite of a hater: a fanboy
>>78142913
No need to be so upset over a childrens' cartoon.
>>78138307
Best to worst:

>Fire
>Earth
>Balance
>Air
>Spirits
>Water
>>78146586
Beginnings were ok, they could be good if they weren't part of Avatar because they mess too much with the original lore.
You might be able to argue for Darkness falls being good, but A New Spiritual Age brought us Unavaatu, Giant Blue Korra and Open spirit portals against all reason, there is no way that episode is even close to good episodes of LoK or ATLA.

Unfortunately I will agree with the majority and continue to be an edgelord by saying that it sucked.

I can't blame anyone who likes it. My best friend introduced me to the avatar series, ATLA, my favourite show of all time, and Korra, HIS favourite show of all time. I'm too thankful to really get up in his grill about liking itand I'd give it a 7.5/10.

>>78149733
I'm usually a "live and let live" kinda of guy, but come on, the Legend of Korra was fucking terrible
It has no coherency or consistency, almost all the characters are flat and one dimensional, and the world building borders on nonsensical
The dialogue just might be the most terrible thing ever written in western animation, with such gems as
"I WILL BECOME... THE -DARK- AVATAR." and "YEAH BUT WHEN YOU'RE WITH HER YOU'RE THINKING OF ME"
>>78146110

The Legend of Korra is fucking shit. Horrible, horrible fucking show. Probably killed the entire ATLA franchise, too.

>>78151175
Don't forget the movie!
Ah, the naive young days when I thought this was the worst thing that could happen to the series
>>78151216
Okay no, you're fucking delusional if you think Korra's worse than the goddamn movie.
>>78151216
The good thing about the movie was that it was so far removed from everything that you can just ignore it ever existed.
The same is kinda true for LoK in that you can ignore it and it wont influence the original.
My problem is that i wanted to like LoK, I love the characters (those that have personalities) and i love the proposed themes. Unfortunately all the bad shit in LoK is tied to the story and characters so it's impossible to just ignore the bad parts. I can't ignore season 1s ending, seaons 2 or season 4s ending. The only thing related to LoK i can ignore is going to be the comics and i allready know i'm going to because of the subject it's going to focus on.
>>78151216
>>78151246
That no view wasn't made for the fans it was made for the general public who knew nothing of avatar the last airbender. Case in point my dad liked the movie even while I told him how many things were wrong with it.
>>78151246
The movie can be ignored.
It's literally a live action telling of the first series. We can dismiss it as really bad fanfiction.
Korra though, Korra is a sequel
An animated sequel
It'll be around

I would have been fine with Korra going full lesbo if they actually seeded the season with hints.
Being the only one you correspond means fucking nothing.
>>78151373
Oh my god
>>78151434
As you say, it wouldn't have been a problem if they had established that Korra was into women aswell as men, they just didn't.
>>78151507
Or more importantly, that Korra had feelings for Asami senpai
Man that would have been cute if she thought Asami was her best friend but then started getting embarassed when they hugged
>>78151434
They did though. There was a constant stream of lesbo hints.
>>78151535
They did it maybe once, and even then it's only a maybe.
>>78151535
Specifically?
>>78151531
It would have to happen way sooner than season 4. Atleast season 2 but preferably season 1. Otherwise it would just be weird that she is suddenly finding her friend attractive.
>>78151583
I'm not gonna look for you dude. Go back and watch S3 and 4 if you doubt me.
>>78151618
Thats his point. If you watch the show there are no hints. Thats why he is asking for you to point out the hints you think are there.
>>78151618
>There's a constant stream of lesbo hints
>ok where
>ITS NOT MY JOB TO EDUCATE YOU, SHITLORD!
Korrafags are always good for a laugh
the only good thing to come out of this was the glorious porn
>>78150374
And it's a shame because the series itself had SO much potential; and that was really the last action cartoon I watched; with Korra the genre kinda died.
The whole DARK AVATAR segment was literally something I'd expect out of a deviant-art fanfic.
And it's a shame because I though A:TLA was a GREAT Fantasy-Action/Adventure series. I've been thinking about Korra a bit lately since I recently got back into anime and saw some series that made me think "now this is how you make an action series for kids/teens".
The problem with Korra is that the creators said they were making an animated version of GoT; but each season brings up a legitimate ideological conflict that gets resolved with punching

>>78151373

Also this
>>78139966
-basically.
And Trigun.
Through the Toonami clause I'll say I really have a soft-spot for Trigun. It's not really hated on, but I think it deserves a little more attention than it gets regardless. Critically it's like a 6/10; at best a 7/10, but it was one of the first shows I got deeper into the lore of and watched in a depth deeper than episode-by-episode.
>>78138307
>>78150374
>>78151153
Korra's quality fluctuates WILDLY from season to season. 1 and 3 were okay, and the thing with Wan in season 2 was great. Seasons 2 and 4, in general though, were pretty fucking shit. I feel like I should've enjoyed Season 3 more than I did, but it just felt like the whole season was written around, "lets take every what-if that the people on tumbler and 4chan have com up with and smash it into a season, because we're out of ideas," -the season.
A:TLA, on a similar note, just kinda gets better as it goes on, but early Season 1 and mid season 2 are pretty weak.
So I don't really hate Korra on the whole, but I do dislike it as a whole; despite season 1's potential.

>>78151583
Different anon, and I personally found the show really bad, but I guess those are the moments people see as hints:
>Korra and Asami bonding in S3 while they apologise for their romantic failures back in season 1 and 2
>The scene with them laughing at Mako twice
>The scene in S4 where she blushes after hugging Asami
>Asami is the only one Korra writes for when she is still at home in S4
>Asami is the one that brings tea to Korra in the flashback episode in S4
in my opinion they should have finished the romance subplot in season 1. Season 2 would have been great if everyone in republic city, besides Varrick, was just forgotten
>>78139966
Fuck "doug." a truly arrogant whore with nothing interesting to say.
>>78155012
I remember before korra even premiered everyone on /co/ was saying she'd be gay cause she just looked kinda dykey. Then as that korra/asami shit got more and more subtly gay /co/ just said it was that tease shit just to attract shippers. Then it got confirmed and they called it all pandering and said there was never a single hint and that's been the final conclusion. Arguing otherwise is trash now.
>>78155193
She was shown to not be a dyke with nothing to show the contrary before the finale.
The only "hint" the other anon mentioned that is even arguable is the blush, but as was established in the show that is just how Korra reacts to being complimented on her appearance.
>>78155012
None of that seems to really be romantic, besides the blush.
>>78156934
You could argue that they wanted to make romance like the ones in japanese animation, where holding hands or gazing at each other is romantic.
that being said, I never liked their storytelling with the romance subplots. Maybe they were just bad with that and I'm just used to it
>>78155012
just in case someone is in doubt if all this actually means anything:
>Korra and Asami bonding in S3
first of, at that point Bryke weren't even thinking about Korrasami. Second, 'bonding with friends' is not buildup to romance. This argument is very weak.
>The scene with them laughing at Mako twice
seriously?
>The scene in S4 where she blushes after hugging Asami
pic related. Blush doesn't mean romance.
>Asami is the only one Korra writes for when she is still at home in S4
because she had no one else to write to. Her other options were ex-boyfriend, and bolin, who is basically too stupid to understand anything. Asami wasn't even close enough to Korra to actually visit her, like Tenzin did.
>>Asami is the one that brings tea to Korra in the flashback episode in S4
iroh is a slut if that's buildup
>>78155085
just like you :^)
>>78155274
Iroh blushes in ATLA when someone compliments his tea.. i don't get that blush argument.
>>78155012
I forgot others:
>Asami was the only one guarding her body when she went to the spirit world in S3 and talked with Iroh for the second time
>Asami was holding her hand while trying to comfort her at the end of S3
>Asami offered to go to the Southern Water Tribe with Korra by the start of S4
there is also some people saying their interactions in the desert can be part of the hints, but I'm not opening this can of worms
>>78158221
Again, all things a friend would do.
>>78142461
The constant insisting that it was't that terrible or was a match for the original, I guess. Radicalisation in response to radicalisation.
>>78138307
You have terrible tastes.
>>78158239
In their defense, all the other couples in this series were with the "love at first sight", so nothing over there had romantic buildup anyway
>>78158313
Korra and Mako had korra asking people about what she should do to draw his attention before she actually go out with him. Bolin and Opal had a lot of moments wanting to 'get to know' each other before going out. Hell, even with the lady with red hair, Bolin shows clear attraction to her. That's proper buildup, and there is no reason not to do it with Korra and Asami.
>>78158221
>Asami was the only one guarding her body when she went to the spirit world in S3 and talked with Iroh for the second time
defending this argument would be like saying "staying in the same room as that person is romantic buildup"
>Asami was holding her hand while trying to comfort her at the end of S3
girls normally do that to friends.
>Asami offered to go to the Southern Water Tribe with Korra by the start of S4
friendly proposal. Who stay a weak or even a month if a friend really needed? not only that, if Asami was really into Korra she could always go to the south anyways, like Tenzin did. Defending this is like saying Tenzin was interested in Korra.
>>78158886
what I meant to say is that their feelings were love at first sight. Both Jinora and Opal were in love with Kai and Bolin at first sight respectively, for example. The same thing happens with Korra and her relationship with Mako. Being together properly is another story
>>78159361
But thats a huge difference to Korra and Asami. They know eachother for 3 years atleast, and atleast in stories, you don't go from friends to lovers without clear signs to the audience. There needed to be buildup and there wasn't.
>>78152055
Well it still has another season to get better and the movie.

They were enemies for 2 seasons. They were only friends for 2 weeks (S03) plus letters.

There's 3 years between Book3 and 4. And i also agreed with you i think.
>>78159709
>tan lines
It should be assumed that the Water Tribe is naturally brown
>>78151953
Trigun is probably one of the only shows to really do a tonal shift right, I'd give it an 8/10. Some hype as fuck fights and moments, enjoyable characters you root for and actually good comedy.
Pity about the plot being a bit retarded.
>>78158142
Well, they said they thought about korrasami since the beginning. If we can believe in this or not...
and like other anon said, you could argue they just wanted a romance like the japanese animations, where holding hand and gazing at each other is considered romantic. But we can keep discussing this all day without an end
Here's a gif everyone can enjoy
I don't get saying the blush doesn't counts as romantic when I look at it. Sure everyone blushes but it's about context. She blushes after a close hug and compliment and the way she turns away just reads crush.
Like just because I blush in the face of a cold winter doesn't mean that when I blush in front of a crush it doesn't count. And obviously the >>78158142 kinda blush is embarrassment given the other lines and facial features.
Like is it autism that makes you not see this as some qt blushing cause a crush complimented you are what?
>>78160871
>I don't get saying the blush doesn't counts as romantic when I look at it. Sure everyone blushes but it's about context. She blushes after a close hug and compliment and the way she turns away just reads crush.
It is the exact same way as when she blushed due to Bolins comment in season 1, only then it didn't mean attraction because as we all know she wasn't attracted to Bolin. You have to assume that Korra is into Asami for it to be a romantic interaction, an assumption that is unsupported at the time and non-sensical given the context of the series.
Honestly, during the climax of S4, all I was hoping for was that Varrick and Zhu Li were okay, ie, the likeable characters who had a set-up, arc, and pay-off together. If only we had some of that in Team Avatar.
Fuck, just replace Mako and Assami with Lin and Varrick full time. Lin can act like the hot-headed muscle, Bolin can be the clueless comedy relief, and Varrick can be the eccentric scientist who comes up with inventions for the team to use. Much better than what we got.
>>78138345
No, it's really terrible.

>>78141989
>Others got triggered because Bryke stapled a lesbian relationship to the end of the series, and that somehow retroactively made the entire thing shit.

You mean the last two episodes? Because everything else in Book 3 was pointless filler with the most retarded villain in the series.
>>78149220
>only ones who didn't like it are shitheaded woman-hating autists
You mean like Bryke not letting Korra defeat a single major baddie on her own, getting her past lives killed, fucking the planet and getting literally walked over by common thieves?
>>78160706
>they said they thought about korrasami since the beginning
according to the tumblr post, they thought of it by S03, and only even bother to ask about it in S04.
>>78160871
she blushes after the compliment, and that's it. Blushing is embarrassment, and being complimented can lead to that. Iroh also blushed in the SAME situation, that is, by being complimented by someone.
>when I blush in front of a crush it doesn't count
you're assuming there is a crush going on.
