The entire series was terrible. Season 1 was only decent for its twist which any halfwit could figure out if they thought for a second, Season 2 was okay, Season 3 was shit and Season 4 was more shit. Why did we have to have an Avatar that already mastered three elements? Why couldn't we have another developing Avatar story, with conflicts arising during the journey?

Not really. Season 1 was ok, sure the ending felt rush but it still was decent. Second season was quite boring at the star but then become good again( tho the last fight was retarded but it looked pretty) 3 season was an improvement but the ending felt a bit rush too and exaggerated. Season 4 first episode was god tier. Then it all went to shit. Overall a good show

We didn't get it.

>>
I remember the hype threads when Korra was first announced and after the first SDCC. All the ideas we came up with were so much fun.
>>
Season One: Very good, but with a cheap-ass ending.

Season Two: A complete clusterfuck. And no, not even Beginnings could save it.

Season Three: Fantastic. Best villains in the entire Avatar franchise and a terrific storyline.

Season Four: Almost as good, even if Kuvira never quite feels like she's worthy of being final boss.
>>
>>79046186
The anon said
>Season 1 was only decent for its twist which any halfwit could figure out if they thought for a second,

And you kept reading? Why?

The twist. The half-baked reveal that literally only happened because a series of very unlikely events lead our heros up to someone who could infodump them the whole story and stop said story dead in it's tracks just to spell out everything that could have been laced into the story very easily instead of a seriously twenty minute infodump is the part that made it decent. That's the good part.

Season 2 had to have been great to him, he apparently thinks terrible ideas actually raises it up.
>>
>>79045070
yes fuck, you too, making me feel again.

I enjoyed the threads so much. Yes, with the baiting and shitposting too.

>that uncalled for Toph name-dropping at the end
Now I remember the hackish writing.
I still think season 4 Korra > Aang as a character, and Kuvira is one of my favorite ""villains"".
Also, I liked more how ATLA was done, but I never find myself going back to it. I stil rewatch season 3 eps from Korra, and Zahir a best.

Great villains, Korra was doing good things for once, too. Plus more AtLA cameos.
>>
>>79046388
this, except I want to point out that the only problem with Kuvira is that she was the *last* boss, not "final" boss.

Personally, I loved that final scene, Kuvira both frightened and angry, her voice always in the verge of breaking. I liked her character, her place is just chronologically awkward.


EDIT: I just watched it. fuck, the whole ending was corny as fuck, Kuvira's desperation and VA was the only good thing.
>>
>>79046685
>Great villains
The Red Lotus were terrible. Their motivations made no fucking sense and they were all ine-dimensional and not particularly memorable, the very fact that their plans got thwarted by a little girl shows how much of a joke they were.

>Korra was doing good things for once, too.
What good things?

I still find it hilarious when people kept saying what a great villian Zaheer was and then S4 reveals that he was actually a dumbass.
>>
>>79046426
The last episode of season 1.

Then, what little I had left burned away in the first with season 2. The last episode of season 1 was so painfully stupid, rendered so much of the story moot, wrapped up so little, was so dumbly paced and had such a terrible out of nowhere powerup save the day not once, but TWICE, that it made me realize these writers were just plain bad at what they did.

Then came season 2's transparent as all fuck, poorly written introduction to it's villain, and I just knew pretty fights were all I was going to get.

>>79046537
Instead of, oh, I don't know, having Korra go out and see if any of this 'oppression' is valid or not. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, who fucking knows! We don't!

>the Airbenders returning is not properly explained and we're supposed to take such an essential development on whim alone yet again (Amon's plot-essential ability is never actually explained in-canon)
>after Season 2 establishing how the spirits would change society we spend exactly one episode on spirits affecting society and the rest on people in areas where no spirits are seen, great continuity
>Korra herself and even the Krew is mostly a passenger to the plot at large, their actions don't make waves, they just follow what happens rather than making things happen
>villains themselves are one-note and boring, the main one trying to be intellectual and deep yet every episode he's in he does or says something that is monumentally stupid or wrong

>Suyin is the most repulsive character we're meant to agree with and endear to
>fucking liquid metal poison that can be metalbent breaks established rules

>>79046894
You should've known the moment that Season 2 started.

It says "six months after Amon", which is now the winter solstice, which implies that Amon's takeover, in the summer, happened while it was snowing in New York City.
>>
>>79046914
the only actual problems you've brought up are the fact that Su is supposed to be agreeable, Kai is a mediocre side character, and that you don't agree with the villains on a personal level.

All of these are valid, none of them make the entire season bad, even when compared to ATLA.
>>
>>79046914
>hence destroying the point of a martial art as medium for manipulating the elements
they already showed this in S1 with pro-bending and even in the last airbender when Iroh could breathe fire

Budget cuts meant they no longer had enough money to animate a full episode, clip show recap with a little bit of new animation was the best solution

>>79046388
>Season Three: Fantastic. Best villains in the entire Avatar franchise and a terrific storyline.

I don't understand why people say this. Zaheer was just an empty bad-guy-of-the-week villain. He didn't tie into anything thematically or narratively.
>>
>>79046388
Pretty much. Although I thought S4 was a clusterfuck as well. But S2 and S4 had some good parts in them (namely Varrick), so it stops it from being complete shit.

Overall, LOK is an average to good show. Not great but not the abortion that /co/ makes it out to be.
>>
>>79047015
Well, not necessarily. Firebending is based almost entirely through breath and converting that into fire, so fire breathing is an applicable skill, just not very exploitable. It was his nickname, not his trump card. That's why Combustion Man was acceptable. He was clearly exploiting a very specific form of firebending and still prompted each of his bursts with a sharp breath and a thrust of his forehead. Probending was a distillation of the martial arts and assimilation into a more boxing style. They were still moving their bodies to manipulate elements. Psychic bloodbending and unassisted flight are retarded and unnecessary.

>>79046997
To clarify, I don't think Season 3 was bad. I just don't think it was good. Season 1 is still the best season even considering the finale, because it has more subtle touches than the rest of the seasons had and had the best art direction with lighting and color.

Season 3 just felt drawn out, uncoordinated and disparate from itself.

Can't believe how hard they managed to drop the ball with Season 4. It was still a good season, but man, they had everything they needed to knock it out the park, and whenever I think about it I always think of the multiple, tiny niggles.

They should promote the people who cut those trailers to review the episodes and cut all the bad shit. Like, turn those 12 average episodes into 3 good episodes or something.

>>79045224
Man I was so fucking hyped back then. I had imagined that they could ruin this, but never in the way they did.
>>
>>79046894

One of my biggest complaints with Korra so far (haven't watched Season 4) is that the endings are all fucking terrible, because they all come across as extremely transparent in their attempts to be superficially impactful. She loses her bending (but not really because it's solved in less than 5 minutes), she loses her connection to the previous avatars (fucking over actually interesting story possibilities), and she becomes wheelchair bound and morose. All just so that they can try to ape the ending of ATLA Season 2 in terms of its gravitas, without realizing that it worked in that instance because it was actually built up to as the lowest point of a 3 act story and not just a cheap plot device repeated every season.

Budget got cut halfway through production but they were still contractually obligated to make 13 episodes. That gave them three, and only three, options on how to handle it.

A - Get enough money to make a full-budget episode by firing half the staff.
B - Keep the staff on and make a cheap clip show episode.
C - Keep the staff and don't make a third episode and get sued by Nickelodeon for breaking contract.

They went with B

I can assure you that after the season 1 finale there was no point at which /co/ was ever "all Hype" for Korra. We expected every season and episode to be more disappointing than the last even though that wasn't always the case. I'll just assume you weren't around at the time.
>>
Why didn't we ever get to see meaningful interaction between Korra and spirit Aang in the same way that Aang interacted with spirit Roku?

Aang shows up for a couple seconds to give her all her powers back AND the avatar state, and then just fucks off.

I know her connection to past lives is severed, but she had all of book 2 before that happened.

And also her permanently losing her connection to her past lives was a really bad writing decision, it's alright to want to make your protagonist more vulnerable, but the way they went about it seemed to just make the whole story less interesting.

Season 4 was okay.
Not great, but certainly better than 2 and the later parts of 1.

The problem is how little time they had.
They basically ran through all the characterization that she should have gotten previously at ridiculous speed.
And while that's frustrating, at least they understood that they couldn't let Korra remain this violent, unreflecting moron, that solves problems by chimping out.

So it gets points for its heart being in the right place. Which is more than I can say for S1 and 2.

>>79050958
It's also because Nick fucked with the shows airing schedule, making it hard for it to get a good following.

Instead of keeping it in its successful Saturday morning timeslot from Book 1, they moved it to a Friday night death slot, halving the ratings(which got even worse because they moved around the Friday airtime like 3 times) in Book 2.

Then, Book 3 was given no advertising at all except for one trailer released 1 week before it began airing. Oh, and the release date was announced by that trailer too because Nick are retards.

Combine the lack of advertising with several episodes leaking led to Book 3's ratings dropping until Nick pulled it off the air.
>>
>>79050958
>>79051608
>it's all Nick's fault!
if you like a show, you will watch it no matter what. People simply didn't bother to watch LoK, that's the truth. You don't get to say those people that dropped the show all liked Korra, but due to Nick they couldn't watch it. They simply didn't like it at all.
>>
>>79052188
You have no understanding of what you're talking about and should just stop now.

Friday night is a bad slot for shows, its where networks send them to die. Shows don't get watched because people are usually out doing stuff Friday nights. Coupled with timeslot shifts in Book 2 and no advertising in Book 3 is why the ratings dropped.

The show was well liked. Critics loved it. Fans loved it. Even /co/ liked the show. This whole meme about it being shit is only because the people who came here to discuss it have mostly left.

Season 1 = 6/10 Too much love triangle bullshit and Korra crying

I was here when they were released. People were losing their shit with excitement.

And whatever you think about the lesbian ending. Nobody thought they would be ballsy enough to go through it, and they DID. If that's not a worthy twist, I don't know what is.

Overall, LoK was better then ATLA. It tried doing something meaningful and cohesive with it's four seasons, telling a story in which the antagonists were not evil for the sake of being evil like Ozai (except Unalaq, maybe). It also had better animation and a more inspired setting.

>Shows don't get watched because people are usually out doing stuff Friday nights
if that was the reason, the number of viewers should be constant after you left out the people that "cannot watch it". It kept dropping. Because people were dropping the show, and not because "more and more people were doing stuff friday". Your logic makes no sense.

>The show was well liked
clearly not, considering how many people abandoned it

>Critics loved it
most critics don't even mention the issues in the show. IGN is the best example, "lesbians, 10/10".

that doesn't mean much, considering most fans only like it because "lesbians, 10/10".

>As I've stated, Unalaq might be the exception
Zaheer's reasoning is: "chaos will help everyone. Somehow". It's just as stupid as being plainly evil, the only difference being that he actually thinks he is doing something right when logically he is not. Ozai might as well say that he thinks he is bringing peace to the world. This won't make him less of an evil cunt. As for Kuvira, literally Hitler.


> opening the spirit portals ended up not being malicious onto itself.
spirits ARE dangerous, since ATLA. Opening the portals has no purpose other than to allow spirits to fuck shit up. Hell, they were attacked by spirits that weren't even being controlled in LoK some times. Also, opening the portals is arguably responsible for airbending, which was the cause of zaheer being free and killing the earth queen. It probably caused S03 and S04.

they never really explain. Probably the genocide of airbenders did some shit, and when the portals were open triggered some other shit.. and Boom, airbenders.

Yes, how ballsy, you managed to get your protagonists to share a look in the last episode while the series was airing online.

but hell, now that they got so far ahead in technology and shit, they fucked themselves over. Nothing they can do will be nearly as interesting. The world is built to a point where bending has less use and more problems.

Outside of this place is usually very reasonable responses to things both positive and negative, except the Airbender Reddit which also tends to react similarly.

The fight between Zaheer and Tenzin is generally considered to be on par with the better fights of ATLA, which is considerably more than the rest of Korra's squabbles, but that's all it has going for it.

In fact, it's telling that all of LoK's best moments had nothing or little to do with her. The Tenzin/Zaheer fight, the Death of the Earth Queen, Amon's Suicide, Varrick and Zhu Li's wedding - even Beginnings with all it's Lore Shredding is better than anything else in that season. Korra herself never got better than her first episode.

As stupid as it sounds, i only began having real doubts in the season 4 finale. Before that i still had hope they could pull through.

Haven't watched the show since, probably won't either, which is annoying because i actually used to like the world and characters enough to want Bryke to make the show good, i guess they just weren't ever up to the task.

To point no western cartoont up till then had clearly stated it was what it was and put that up front.

I'm glad that something has been set that other things can build upon since there is now a precedent.

Steven Universe as packed full of lesbian space moms as it is could always dodge with "Space Rocks have no gender" if pushed and Clarence with Jeffs parents are only supports and easily pushed into the background or hiding one of his mothers permanently.

Not great as has been admitted but I believe its a solid place to go forward from.

I don't see it as such. It something that had to be broached at some point and In still think its better being out there now since it allows those that have been holding things back more room to develop material.

I think its a good thing creatively.

LoK isn't even a stepping stone to something more. It is nothing more than confirmed headcanon with no basis in the show.

In other words, Korra should suck so that even more politics can be shoved into cartoons.

Gamer Gate was right. SJWs really do want hobbies to be hollowed out into nothing more than a battleground for even more culture wars.
>>
Season 4 wasn't bad, it just had such a shit pay off an added characters for little to no reason like the prince guy. He was very insignificant and took away focus making it more cluttered.

The ending was so shit, I'm not even talking about the lesbians. Some shoehorned in ship at the very end of the series is no less shit but it's an insignificant minute or so after all the shit that matters happens.

The fact they introduced such a compelling villain but then had to dumb her down because Korra couldn't trade wits with her was retarded. She should've been set in her ways, the giant mech was retarded, she shouldn't have ended in a hissy fit towards her family.

It felt like Korra was finally getting built up to the point where she would actually need to not punch her way out of a problem for once and there's actions with consequences once against and all that.

Then it all gets simplified down again in some retarded mech battle. The first half of season 3 isn't that bad if too cluttered. The second half is just bad.

>It didn't break any rules.
Metalbending only bends the earth within a metal. Since metal is usually solid, the solid metal moves with it. If the metal is liquid, all you'd bend is the earth out of it. Bending a liquid metal is impossible.

>Lots of bending requires minimal to no movement
Name one instance of it in the original series. One bending instance where no movement whatsoever is used.

>But it's okay when ATLA does it?
Yes, because they didn't literally shove a sock in Ozai's mouth. He just got insulted after being defeated and debent, righteously so, right before the ending solidified feelgood material. It wasn't jarring, it fit the tonal upswing.

Bolin shoves his sock in Zaheer's mouth, a character who had, if nothing else, dignity to himself, as a final "haha fuck you" followed by the main character literally lame and depressed. Tonal dissonance, jarring, and undeserved. Zaheer STILL killed the Earth Queen and only failed to kill Korra at that point. He was just imprisoned, but could still fly.

Which there's another thing. A fucking regicidal terrorist with flying powers was kept WITHIN FLYING DISTANCE OF THE WHITE HOUSE in Season 4. Fucking brilliant. Almost as smart as not executing the RL for 13 years.
>>
>>79063406
I'd disagree about the Korra/Asami thing, i think it should just be dropped. However i think they could have had Korra deal better with everything in the season aswell. Like not make her job as hard against Kuvira the first time or expanded on the Zaheer visit.

>>79046426
I realized that it was all probably going to be shit after the first few episodes. However, the show had so much (unrealized) potential and I'm an incurable optimist, so I still had hope that they would somehow get their shit together and salvage something of value from the disaster that was tLoK right up until the last few episodes. It was torture to watch the show with that mindset, seeing all that potential flushed down the toilet and always hoping against hope that the next exciting thing would not go the same way, but it always did.

>>79063469
>Metalbending only bends the earth within a metal
not him, but that's never stated in the show. Metalbending does just that; bends metal. Purity IS important for that bending, but this doesn't mean it works by bending those parts. If it was that way the tension should break the metal, and not bend it.

>One bending instance where no movement whatsoever is used.
on the beginning Katara breaks an iceberg by yelling at Sokka. Does that count?

>>79064611
they are actually correct, in the sense that S02, S03 and S04 would not have happened without Korra. She caused all the events, so the world is better without her.
>>
>>79067398
I'm actually pretty sure it is exactly how they state metal bending to work. As in they bend the impurities in the metal. Perhaps it shouldn't work like that, but it is how it was explained.

The katara thing you might be righ though. Also didn't King Bumi bend with his face alone?

>>79067353

It really isn't. It's clearly written by someone that hates the show as a whole and doesn't want to cut them any slack, to the point where quite a few of those are just plain wrong.

>zaheer teaching her at all was ridiculous. I know his motivation is retarded, but at least he should stand by it and not help the avatar.
Yeah, I'm sure an Anarchist will be okay with a fascist dictator taking power, because he's salty at the girl he tried to kill.

From Zaheer's perspective maintaining the status quo would be the lesser evil here.

It's pretty self-explanatory why he'd help her.
Although it'd be even better if Korra actually had to persuade him. Which is one of the reasons it was hurtful to the Season that that sequence got cut short.
>>
>>79070342
>Yeah, I'm sure an Anarchist will be okay with a fascist dictator taking power, because he's salty at the girl he tried to kill.
he is not an 'anarchist'. He just wanted chaos because he thought it was good. Somehow. If he really knew what Kuvira was doing, i doubt he would say anything about it. To put it simple: Zaheer never 'wanted chaos' as it happened all over the earth nation. He really thought it was going to be good when it wasn't. Kuvira helped, in this case (earth nation was much better than the chaos it was), and until that point i don't see a lot of reason for him to get involved, also considering he thinks relying on the avatar is a bad thing.

>From Zaheer's perspective maintaining the status quo would be the lesser evil here.
I don't think he would maintain the status quo (as in: chaos on the earth nation). Actually, at the time, they would just put Wu at the throne so it's basically a choice of Wu x Kuvira. The real question is: did Zaheer knew all that?
>>

Zaheer is basicly an anarchist. And Korra kinda told him that Kuvira was a fascist dictator, the very thing he was trying to rid the world of.

Season 3 was not "incredible." It had extremely low expectations to live up to, and just being marginally not as shitty as Season 2 was apparently enough to make fans forgive the fact that the show was never good and should have been thrown into the trash after Season 2. And then Steamvangelion showed up in Season 4 and some people still watched this shit.

>no, they need romantic buildup, and NOT just interaction.
They needed both, man. I never cared about Asami because she was a boring character, but she was treated awfully in terms of characterization.

>get a semblance of a good plot in season 1 but you're mostly just there to cause tension between Korra and Mako
>your plot in book 2 is literally given to Mako and Bolin and then you get to accidentally revive the love triangle for all of one episode
>become Korra's sidekick in book 3 and don't even do a good job at it
>serve no purpose in book 4 except to literally be sad and be a love interest

All Bryke ever did was talk about how much they loved Asami and how she was basically an apology to Seychelle after TLA killed her career, but it never came across that way in the show. She was so damn irrelevant except for moments that didn't matter in the grand scheme of the show. Every moment that could have been Asami's was handed to another character. If I was an Asami fan who didn't rely on headcanon in order to enjoy her, I'd be pissed.

You've posted the same goddamn screencap a dozen times. And that's after archive.moe died, so there's probably another dozen missing. It all has the same filename, meaning you're probably uploading it straight from your own computer. I remember you first posting it and you said it's your own post.

So you've posted a screencap of your own post and re-posting it dozens of times like it's a goddamn gospel when it's been explained multiple times that half that shit is subjective you flaming autist.
>>
>>79078614
interesting enough, most of those are not me.

the point of the screencap is to make things easier to explain. If i had to write every part wrong with the show (the screencap doesn't even cover everything) every time someone makes stupid statements like "why do you think it's bad" or "there is nothing wrong with it", it's just a waste of my time.

now, do you actually have an argument against any of my points?

They all have the exact same filename, instead of 154643636436.png or whatever it shows up as when you save it, so 95% chance it's all you.

No, absolutely not. Do a quick google search prior to the LESBIANS!! xD ending. Many disliked the episode, including internet feminists. Tack on the lesbians ending, and you have yourself a 10/10 show according to them. It fits their agenda, and that's all that matters.

Remember the mecha? If I'm not wrong, It was made of a pure metal, non bendable by metal benders.
I think that's another retcon, then.
>>
>>79049179
This is false. I convinced a couple of friends who abandoned the series after S1 of coming back. They enjoyed that "I told you" at the end.
They don't even know what's 4chan.
>>
>>79079951
as i said, there is a connection between metalbending and purity, but this doesn't mean "metalbending works by moving the minerals inside the metal". It's weird to consider you only move some parts of the metal; Toph was able to literally bend the metal to cover her body as a metal armor. If she could only move certain parts of it, this shouldn't be possible; the metal should break, or at least that metal has a stupidly high amount of impurity. Most likely metalbending can really bend everything on the metal. A weird comparison would be how bloodbending doesn't move only the water in the blood (even if the blood is mostly water anyway).

Even prior to the Series finale, the show was well loved by critics. Do some actual research yourself.

The show has a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, and the 3rd Season has a 100%
IMDb's rating is 8.7/10 from 60,484 votes
TV.com rates the show an 8/10

Critics generally liked Book 1, only a few criticized it for things like shorter arcs, the ending, and pro-bending.

Oddly enough, critics liked Book 2 a lot as well. The animation and color treatment was praised, and they loved Beginnings 1&2.

Book 3, as I mentioned, was critically acclaimed.

Book 4 was well liked by critics, and a lot of them liked the ending too.

>Only tumblrinas
No, basically every place there is to discuss ATLA/TLOK many people loved it. Only Post-Finale /co/ has this absurd hate-boner for the show.

>Speak for yourself
If you were around when the show was airing, you'd know that most of /co/ liked it. There was a good section of autists who made their own threads to hate the show, but the general liked it and had few complaints.

However, most of them left once the show was over or have moved on since there isn't really much to discuss any more. All that's really left is a band of aspie's who started making threads ever other week(often more) in January last year sperging about the show.

Go on desustorage and look through the archives of the generals.
>>
>>79080160
three of my friends as well. Two of them stopped after S02 and came back only when the show was over with. Two of them (normies) simply didn't care about the show. They didn't overanalyze it or anything; they simply thought it wasn't good. The third one liked it but agree with the many flaws people point out (except Korrasami. He liked it, or at leat wasn't bothered by it)
>>
>>79049179
Not true. I have a friend who's never once been to 4chan and gave up on Korra a while ago.
>>
>>79080257
not him, but most of those 'critics' doesn't make an actual critic. As you point out in: "Critics generally liked Book 1, only a few criticized it for things like shorter arcs, the ending, and pro-bending.", only a few critics actually talk about the flaws. The others, like ign, ignores them.

>Oddly enough, critics liked Book 2
what did i tell you?

>Book 4 was well liked by critics, and a lot of them liked the ending too.
>and a lot of them liked the ending too
i will take /co/'s opinion anytime before those critics.

>every place there is to discuss ATLA/TLOK many people loved it
tell me one place other than /co/ where they make deep analysis on the series and liked it. We shouldn't count "lesbians, 10/10" here.

>If you were around when the show was airing, you'd know that most of /co/ liked it
many people of that time say that there was a lot of criticism, especially after S01/S02.
>>
>>79045070
Yeah, biggest let down ever. Korra has one of the few trailers where its actually better than it really is, it's only second to the Man of Steel trailer in terms of disappointment.
>>
>>79054085
It was a "twist"
I'm not even a "Korra hater". It was really badly done. I think the show wasn't that abomination some people say. It has its nice moments but it wasn't very good.

One of the things that I hated more was that ending. Why? Because people who liked it, tends to excuse it as well done, with silly excuses trying to leave you in the wrong.

Things like: You shouldn't suppose anything, if they don't say otherwise anything can be". Referring to the sexuality of Korra and Asami. Even to the point of saying, any character can be bisexual if nobody says the contrary. So Optimus Prime is potentially bi. Hmmmm. That's just bad narrative. Even the creators used the card of "the hetero lenses", and those are just bad excuses. They even had to explain the ending in a post. How is that good? It's show don't tell.

They have to make you root for those two since some point in the story. Leave you waiting for them to end together. Thinking "They can't end together anyway, it's american kids television". Then, they should give you that ending. THAT would be a nice way to do the things but bringing that thing out of nowhere? Nopes.

Season one was good, minus the love triangle.
Season two was good, minus the shit final fight.
Season three was perfect.
Season four was good, but I didn't like how everybody was pretty disconnected until the very end.

Good show. 9/10

They were actual critics, though.

Good for you.

>tell me one place other than /co/ where they make deep analysis on the series and liked it. We shouldn't count "lesbians, 10/10" here.

Since when did you have to make a deep analysis to like a show? If you think all cartoons need to be deeply analyzed then you're just retarded.

Literally everywhere else, like the /r/TheLastAirbender, ATLA/TLOK Wikia, Avatarspirit, etc all generally liked the show. They do acknowledge flaws when people bring them up and don't just blindly praise the show.

>many people of that time say that there was a lot of criticism, especially after S01/S02.
There was criticism, but people still liked the show. You can criticize flaws in something and still like it. The generals for the show were a lot of fun, I kind of miss them, especially because of all of these hate threads that get made. It was fun to be able to talk about the show without sperglords screaming about lesbians or what they think was objectively wrong or any other stupid shit.

I wouldn't know. Season 2 raped me so hard that it gave me PTSD so I stopped watching. I've never made a better decision in my life. Now I fully enjoy Korra threads knowing that I will never finish the series.

It's like having PTSD from a violent rape, and in your support group for other victims of violent rape a guy bursts in and systematically rapes everyone including you, except someone gave you a lot of drugs after and you went into a coma for a year so you don't even remember it happening and then woke up with no ill effects, but the other people who were raped by the same guy didn't get the drugs and their anuses were also permanently damaged and now they sit around bitching about it years later.

It feels pretty good desu

There's no actual point to arguing in Korra hateboner threads. It just ends up being an endless series of point for point arguments between two idiots that are too stubborn to admit defeat.
