How was blockhead like Korra able to fully control the Avatar state after one use when it's stated as spiritual in ATLA and Aang couldn't until he unlocked his chakras despite entering it multiple times beforehand?
>>

They were only guaranteed one season when the show premiered. They had to write a story that could be concluded in 12 episodes.
>>
>>82025324
Because watching another Avatar have to go through the learning process all over again would have been boring as shit. One of the best things about Korra was she was already trained so the show could actual focus on her doing things instead of training to do things.
>>
>>82025324
I always assumed that Korra was already taught how to use the avatar state from the order of the white lotus. Since she's been locked in a compound andtaught by them for most of her life, she probably already knew about chakras and shit already, wheras Aang had to go and seek someone. Korra only had to obtain her spiritual side for the teachings to take effect.
>>
>>82025324
She was homeschooled on this stuff.

Okay.

>>82025387
If you have to have a Deus Ex Machina ending and handwave a series' worth of mechanics to make your one season work, rewrite the fucking season.
>>
>>82025884
>Deus Ex Machina ending and handwave a series' worth of mechanics
Neither of these things happened. The original Avatar's ending was a Deus Ex Machina, but everything in Korra was forshadowed and worked within what was established in both Korra and the original series.

>Korra was forshadowed and worked within what was established in both Korra and the original series.

How was the return of her powers foreshadowed? Not even in ATLA was Aang imbued with bending mastery by way of the other avatars just giving it to him. Hell, Lion turtles were foreshadowed more than the S1 end to Korra, even if I agree that the rock was dumb.

And yes it does handwave mechanics. In AtLA, mastery of the avatar state comes from mastery of oneself. How on earth does Aang, a spiritual Air Nomad, never learn of (or at least the audience is never informed of) the literal Light spirit that lives within him THAT HE CAN COMMUNICATE WITH AT WILL at no point in either his childhood with the nomads or his time unlocking his Chakras?

What was even the point of the Chakras? Korra doesn't deal with them at all. Aang should have just been able to ask Raava for help directly.
>>
>>82025607
I actually really liked TLOK. I get the impression that a lot if not most of /co/ also really liked TLOK. But they like bitching about it just as much if not more.
>>
>>82025324
Because you don't tell the same story twice.
Say what you want about Bryke's shitty writing, at least that's something they understood, Well sort of.

Faux orentalism, like most of the fluff in AtlA.

Plus the porn is great.
>>
>>82026197
/co/ doesn't like LoK so much as they like what LoK could have been in the hands of competent writers. Also the porn is top-tier.

As it stands, it's merely watchable...and sometimes not even.

Great fight scenes, though.
>>
>>82025324
Because she was written to be the exact opposite of Aang.

Aang:
Non-violent
Tries to solve problems with words
Wins all except maybe 2 or 3 of his fights
Has trouble with the avatar state
Has past avatars for guidance
Into delicious brown

Korra:
Violent
Tries to solve problems with fists
Loses most of her fights
No trouble with avatar state
No past avatars to talk to
Into paler people

Punching the air was ass pulling of unbelievably high order. So was Aang being able to fix her.

Korrafags should be round up and exiled from society.
>>
>>82026197
It was somewhat enjoyable for me when i could excuse all the bad choices with pressure from Nick. Then the ending happened and i realised everything was Brykes ideas put into the work and it became almost impossible to forgive shit like Dark Avatar, Kaiju Korra and Plotinum Mech.

>>82029288
Probably this. Most of my hatred of Korra is disappointment

Nigga, are you serious? Korra won because she magically gained Airbending despite not changing at all, and acting in the least Airbendery way possible. Then she gets ANOTHER when Aang comes in and fixes everything else.

That's my beef with LoK: I do like a lot of things about it and I think it had a lot of good elements. But they weren't presented or mixed well and that just dragged everything down. It could have been an amazing show but it was only mediocre with little flashes of greatness, which is worse than if it had simply been entirely mediocre.

This was the moment I stopped caring about this show. Why just have korra at full power all the time only for it to feel so easy for her. To control the avatar state because she cried once.
>>
>>82037790
That looks like an incredibly painful angle for Asami's neck.
