Do you want to see the Avatar franchise continue in another series, post-Korra era?
>>
>>80844696
No. Byrke proved with Korra that AtLA was a fluke and that they are incapable of writing a coherent plot.
>>
>>80844696
No. Please just let it die.
>>
>>80844696
Nah, literally nothing could raise the stakes higher than Korra. So that'd be a lost cause.
>>
>>80844696
No. They will never recapture the magic of TLA.
>>
So long as Bryke aren't near the writing, idea, or even the art department.

Just keep Bryke far away from any place working on the show and get it away from Nickelodeon.
>>
>>80844696
TLA was unique and it was a poor idea to give them another crack at imitating it.

No fuck that.

Even if it did come back why the fuck would you want post-korra era? The steampunk shit was bad enough. TLA had a nice mystic vibe where the people relied more on bending than machines, and it made bending a part of the amazing atmosphere.
>>
>>80844696
They should make more with Korra, the porn is nice.
>>
No.

The writing staff deserves to have their careers dry up and die.
>>
>>80844696

Absolutely. Make it a trilogy of shows. Even if it's not the holy grail, Korra was at worst "okay" with moments of greatness, awesome fights, and lovely animation.

Take it to netflix, they need an action animation series.
>>
>>80844696
korra was just more S JW propaganda.
the original was all about how white people are bad
and korra was about how lesbians only need each other

if they made another one it would be some tranny in a cyber punk world who is nonbianary and gender fluid because reasons

No. Unless Korra had an untimely death, and the point in time what Korra is in is supposed to be like the 1920s, she'd die naturally in like possibly the equivalent to 20 or 30 years from now. And I don't want to even imagine a futuristic world with spirits and shit where Bending, swords and spears and mechs are the only way to make war.

Let the avatar-verse be. If Byrke come back and make something new, then I welcome it. But otherwise, leave their first creation alone. Nick made them do WAAAY more than what they wanted to do with Korra anyways.
>>
>>80845293
>the original was all about how white people are bad

Perhaps there's more to your analagy than what I'm seeing, but there weren't any white people in Avatar. Everyone was oriental except for the Water Tribes and Phatik.
>>
>>80845293
damn son that's some weak ass bait. You could at least try.
>>
No, Korra left a massively bad taste in my mouth after the way it ended that I don't think I could trust the IP anymore or anyone working on it.

The show came to an end with the writing staff knowing that the only thing that'd have on their list of achievements is that they killed the Avatar franchise, so they shoehorned in lesbians so that the tumblr crowd (Who by the end were the only diehard fans they had left) would defend the series after it was over.

The writing staff should be ashamed of what they made and never be allowed to work on anything that has a call for intelligent writing again.

I'm fucking sick and tired of my sexuality being used to cover up for bad characters, bad writing, and a bad product.

Every fuckface LGBT loving cuck talks about how the LGBT deserve better representation, and I think we could use some, but better doesn't mean shoehorned in at the last fucking minute nor does it need to be a MASSIVE part of your character I'm looking at you SU

It's disgusting, let Avatar die. I would fuck Korra's armpits though
>>
>>80845250
>Take it to netflix, they need an action animation series.

They're already making a few: Voltron (made by the A:TLA/Korra crew minus Bryke), Stretch Armstrong, maybe Young Justice. Plus there's probably more in the making.
>>
Only if Bryke "Single and female? Must be lesbian!" Are not involved.

In any way shape or form.

I really want to see a Fire Avatar series... but it's the next avatar... well, not the next Avatar, really, but the Avatar after the Earth Avatar and it's all kinda modern and...

Yeah, I'm go out on the limb.

The Avatar is a shit head. Like, he probably doesn't even know he's a bender because there's all this modern convience.

Really, I want the Fire Avatar to be a /pol/lack that shit-posts on AtLA's version of 4chan when he's not going to high school. Only for all this spiritual bullshit to just smack him upside the head.

And unfortunately, all he has going for him to help past lives wise is Korra... and whoever the Earth schmuck was.

Honestly I want to see the Fire Avatar running around when we first meet him wearing a t-shirt that says Sozin Was Right just to get into the idea of what kind of jerk this guy is and how the PROBLEMS of his day change the way he feels... about being the Avatar at least.

He can still (and should) be a shit-tier /pol/ troll.

And possibly Unalaq since Vaatu would've been reconnected to Raava by that point.
>>
Characters and dialogue aside, I tend to see a divide in terms of the setting.
Sometimes I hear people laud that they wanted Amon to win and therefore steamroll the world with technology and nonbending and make everything the same and get rid of the cultures and demonize the history.
But then I hear that people want mystical elemental kungfu and going further in the future is bad.

What?
>>
>>80846011
That's just perfect.

He can even lament that all he has to advise him is the fuck up, a nobody, and the fuck up's evil uncle.

It's brilliant!
>>
No, Bryke is good when he cares about the world. He is just tired of Avatar.
>>
>>80844696
Only if it's set during a suitable Cold War time period and has a Metal Gear Solid level plot of ridiculousness.
>>
>>80846246
I remember when Korra was a stand-alone season, with an Avatar movie that interconnects both series. That would have been a better plan.
>>
>>80846246
That doesn't explain the first season of Korra. Nick approached them and they said okay. Then Nickelodeon ordered more.

>>80846229
Even in AtLA Aang used his past lives for the power up or to hear what they have to say but still ended up making his own decision. Aang also relied on the people around him more than the past lives to inform his decisions. Same with Korra but now her's was because of the past lives being gone and plot.
>>
>>80845688
Hopefully Voltron has a better team of writers.

>>80844696
Yes of course

I always felt that the smart thing to do for an Avatar series would be to focus the story on someone that isn't the avatar. That way you can have a series where you don't have to constantly raise the stakes to ridiculous levels every season to make a credible threat to the Avatar, not to mention it would probably cut down on all the deus ex machina bullshit that's plagued this series since the start.
>>
I wonder if they hadn't gone for the live action movie and instead animated those comics, would the main crew had stayed together and been able to collectively contribute to Korra, rather than Bryan and Mike left in charge to fuck everything up. Like George Lucas, they needed people from the original production to tell them when their shit ideas were retarded.

10 years later people are still making quality content of AtLA and finding out new ways about the characters.
Aside from a handful of porn artists no one is doing a thing for LoK.
There is a physical showing of love for a show over a decade old and yet the only people who could say something good about Korra have moved on to other things.

If I want another avatar series I want it to be pre-Korra.

Also pro bending was gay.

I honestly didn't want to hate the show and the premise seemed really good on paper but after four seasons of "it will get better eventually" my appetite for the franchise is ruined.

Only way I could see myself caring about Avatar again is if they redo korra without Bryke otherwise we're going to have a sequel In a shitty universe due to everything that was done by korra.

Avatar The Legend of Korra reverse brotherhood style. They can toss in Easter eggs showing the original run was an alternate Universe where everything went really wrong.
>>
>>80845899
God what disappointing games these guys make. Pretty good stories but once you think about the game play they are boring.
>>
I'd love to see an Avatar who is still very connected to his family. Aang was a child monk travelling with a brother & sister whose parents were taken by the war, Korra was seventeen by the time she ran off. It was well done to not include Aang's parents, but Korra's parents were seldom seen. I wonder what it must be like for a nuclear family to learn that their child is destined to protect the world. Present-day parents would not feel safe if their child ran off with other non-adults to travel to the most conflicted parts of the world. Could you imagine what it would feel like being the sibling of the avatar?! Regardless of whether the sibling can bend he/she will always be overshadowed by their chosen sibling.
>>
>>80846629
If you think about how, I might be remembering this wrong, Nick originally wanted 6 episodes. So I could see Byrke and the guys wrote the story for those 6. Then when Nick wanted more then had to add a bunch of BS. Bolin, Mako, Asami where probably all made because of this. The six episodes they were going to make would have probably been great because of less characters and less plot muddling. It doesn't make up for the rest of the BS we got in later seasons but that may be why S1 was just okay.

If they continue it post-Korra the series will have to be set in outer space which should prove interesting since spirits are tied to celestial bodies. The premise could be about the next Avatar having to reconnect to their past lives with Korra serving as aid to help repair the damage of her mistakes. This clearly bothered her when Tenzin asked if it was still gone.

Then again, this will go against the overall message of TLoK which is that things change.

I do because I think having a semi-futuristic (depending on how long Korra lives, I don't really want an Avatar series set in "our" time) setting could be interesting. Do I think it will happen?

Personally i don't mind the technology level in book 1, but in book 4 they took it too far with giant mech, flying mechs, lazers etc. Basicly Varricks genius made the world too futuristic, and i see no reason it wouldn't become even more futuristic Post-Korra.

I did however prefer the fantasy setting of ATLA, and i wished Korra would have continued that.

>>80844696
I would not like to see anything post-Korra as it allready failed to feel like Avatar in Book 4. However something pre-Aang without Bryke could work.

Spinn off series based on the eras of the Avatars shown could be amazing, but a sequel after Korra would be difficult to pull off. Considering the fact that Korra tried to have insanely be all end all scenarios of the world ending, it would be hard to top it.

One way I could see Avatar having a successful sequel is how the Avatar is being pulled out of life and society itself. The gun is invented, turning non benders into just as powerful as many benders. Turning back to a page in Amons book bending is becoming more and more obsolete, technology pushing out bending as a whole, and how many don't care for the Avatar anymore. That is a storyline I could see working, with a plot line on how non benders were treated as unequal until technology became more prominent.
>>
I have no idea why /co/ hates this show so much. It's the only good Western animated TV show to come out in like a decade, and season 3 reached the level of greatness achieved by The Last Airbender.

Glad I don't come to this board often. It'd suck to have you buzzkills ruin my fun.
>>
>>80861996
Season 3 was the only good season about TLOK. Many are critical because there are a lot of criticisms for the show. When you look at it logically that is.
>>
>>80862011
>When you look at it logically that is
Dude, it's a children's TV show. I feel like all the criticisms commonly raised against this show are a result of people expecting adult logic from a children's' show. Like, people were disappointed that Amon turned out to be evil, but thats to be expected in a kids show. You can't have a kids show where the villain has better values than the main character. If anything, I'd say that the fact that people hold the logic of this show to such higher scrutiny than they hold every single other cartoon shows how much better it is than every other cartoon on TV.

In response to your other statement, 3 was fantastic, but 1 was also pretty great. 4 was okay and 2 was pretty shitty.
>>
>>80862095
Just because it is a childrens show does not mean it's exempt from bad writing. Children shows can have great writing, and they can also have terrible writing. Scrutiny is acceptable for any show my friend. Also people are insanely critical of shows like Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, and Adventure Time. Especially Adventure Time. TLOK is no different and the logical criticism that happens is just and reasonable.
>>
How about a bunch of two episode stories about different avatars made by different sets of creators who can take different approaches to the universe, like the Animatrix.

As long as Bryke get at most, control over a single one in the collection.
>>
>>80862207
>people are insanely critical of shows like Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, and Adventure Time
Not nearly to the same extent as korra, and usually for different reasons. For the most part criticisms of Korras writing in season 1 don't come down to bad writing, but instead come down to disliking the direction the show takes in the latter half with regards to the motication of the villain.

Almsot all of the shows actual bad writing is contained in the second season, which the 3rd season in turn needs to deal with the ramifications of to a small extent.

Seriously, what are some actual examples of "bad writing" outside of season 2 and the shoehorned lesbian romance in the last episode? Also, if you guys all hated season 1 so much why did you even bother to watch all 4 seasons?
>>
>>80861996
It had potential to be great. That's the part that bugs me, personally. The show had so many neat concepts that ended up just underused and pretty much wasted.
It did get better towards the end, or maybe I just got used to its flaws. But especially book 1's ending was pretty awful, and it felt like some kind of "How not to write a TV series" case study.

You don't have to have your fun ruined, though. On this site, I'm constantly seeing and reading threads where people complain about characters/movies/shows/etc that I liked. But their opinions don't affect the fact that I enjoyed the thing that they're complaining about. I'm comfortable with how I feel, so if someone happens to disagree with my opinion, it doesn't ruin the fun I'm having.

>the only good Western animated TV show to come out in like a decade
That sounds like a pretty bold statement. I wish for example Tron Uprising had gotten four seasons while Korra had stayed in one.
>>
>>80862337
I don't think you realise how much people shit on Adventure Time here bud. Steven Universe had a phase and is still going through it on hate for it. Gravity Falls was somewhat well received but the ending is completely shit on by a lot of people here. All shows here get objectively criticized immensely. One of the reasons for TLOK getting lots of critique is because ATLA was much better than TLOK period. It has a 9.2 right now and 9.4 rating originally TLOK has a 8.7 or something like that. TLOK S1 is badly paced with Romance and its sub categories taking up half of the season, literally. Not only that is was done horribly and ill paced. Season 1 was too fastl paced out the asshole and jumps everywhere, which is what most peoples comments are about. Season 2 we all agree is shit. Most people like Season 3 the most, and Season 4 was average with the ending being shoe horned in too hell and back.

Stop being a whiny baby and realize you can be critical of something justly, when using logic.

Bryke approached Nick to animate the comics after the first LoK season and Nick turned them down and ordered LoK S2.

Then LoK's ratings tanked and the show was pulled off the air. Nick won't be investing in Avatar animation for a long, long time.

Honestly I could see a series set in a modern setting (3-4 Avatars after Korra) where the Avatar is basically little more than a figure head who is only kept around by the Orwellian style ruling class to keep the commoners from suspecting anything is going on.
It wouldn't really matter what 'race' the new Avatar would be because they would be essentially useless at all of the elements.
Then in the first few episodes they could be broken out by a ragtag group of rebels, who think that the Avatar is there against their will.
Meanwhile the Avatar has really no idea of the horrible conditions outside and wants to return to the palace because they think they're being kidnapped.
Friendships are made.
Battles are fought.
The new Avatar discovers their true potential.
And a Government is toppled.

It would be more reminiscent of the TLA and I honestly cant think of them doing anything post-Korra.
I could see a prequel tho.

Thoughts?

>>80863445
So, basically what the Red Lotus was trying to do (except the whole kill the Avatar plan) ?

>>80863730
I suppose so, could be a decent twist that the 'inner party' type members are Red Lotus, or atleast heavily inspired by them.

It's called growing up.

You people are in full-on nostalgia mode when it comes to ATLA; it's good but it's not that so far beyond the spin-offs.

looks good.

Yes but with different writers
I just hope Zaheer gets redeemed in some way since he helped out Korra at the end of Season 4

I would like something in the same universe, possibly a story where the Avatar is not the main character; a series where the new Avatar has gone full Kyoshi with secret police and tyranny, since Korra's fuck-up has resulted in losing millenia of guidance for the Avatar to come after.

Yes and no.
Yes, because the Avatar universe still has potential. There's a lot to explore about it.

No, because TLoK nearly ruined the entire universe between the spirit portals, the utter lack of world building, the poorly developed politics, and the fact Korra "lost" the Avatar Cycle so we no longer have a direct connection to its massive past. At the same time, those things open up a lot of possibilities.
>>
>>80844696

I would be interested.

LoK was not as good as ATLA, but I still felt it was a good show that would have probably been downright amazing if its seasons hadn't been kinda messed up for planning and they had learned the proper lesson from ATLA, which was that a story's better off if you let the shippers accumulate naturally instead of cynically trying to draw them in.

That said, I'd be more interested in seeing a pre-Aang era than a post-Korra era, simply because I feel they've kinda written themselves into a corner with technology progression and that might crowd out the spirituality. Although at this point you probably could go full sci-fi with the direction it's headed.

>Varrick gets to do his spirit vine experiments in peace after Season 4, and society attains infinite free energy
>Humanity expands out into the stars, and ten thousand years of expansion and exploration ensue
>At the next harmonic convergence, however, Vaatu regenerates inside the Avatar's soul, and society has flourished and depended on energy that originated from Vaatu for millenia at this point; the Avatar goes crazy and causes a cosmic power surge/blackout that kills everyone in space and maroons everyone on the planet they're currently on

Wow. Motorcity alone was leagues better than Korra

The industrial setting could only work if Korra fought weirdos trying to go back to the old ways and she was aware of being the last of her kind. LoK should be like one of those martial art flicks about the end of an era like Once Upon a Time on China or a chinece cartoon like Rurouni Kenshin

Ok:

>Airpunching trumps bloodbending...somehow.

>Aang comes up at the last second and deus ex machina's Korra's blocked bending troubles. This then allows Korra to fix everybody, thus getting rid of any permanence of the Equalist's actions, without the main characters actually having to struggle to get that solution.
