Why doesn't /co/ like this show it is obviously superior to Avatar. It had better characters, cooler fights and Korra would kick Aangs ass. Overall the whole show is just way better and appeals to an older audience than Avatar. So /co/ why dont you like it?
>>82761511
I liked Korra, but this is an obvious troll thread.
>>82761511
>>82761511
Did Korra really need to have such big breasts?
>>82762342
only if you want people to be interested in the show
>>82761511
The things she wears on her arms should have been made of latex tbqh.
Man, I wish we got some more shading on that bitch. If you want to showcase muscles you need mnore than two tones.
>>82762442

Attack on Train aka Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress.
But don't get your hopes up too much, she's usually conservatively dressed.
>>82763117
damn
>>82761797
This, Korra was fine. And /co/ still has weekly arguments on whether it was good or not so you can't say /co/ hated it.
>>82762342
I...i don't understand the question
>>82761511
>it is obviously superior to Avatar
Nah.
>It had better characters
Disagree.
>cooler fights
Eh, better animated maybe.
>Korra would kick Aangs ass
So?
>>82763212
But who knows, since the webm is from a preview, this might be the start of Muscle-chan being showcased.
But meanwhile you get an edgy preteen heroine who acts like Azula half the time. That's also fun.
>>82763372
Also Korra wouldn't beat Aang. She constantly loses fights, even with low tier goon enemies
>>82763277
>Korra was fine.
No it wasn't. It was a pile of crap that failed to live up to the hype Avatar fans built up for it and ended with a "progressive" message that overtakes anything else it tried to do.
>>82763538
What ever you say anon, whatever you say.
>>82763745
Cool, thanks for agreeing with me.
>>82761511
>it is obviously superior to Avatar
b-but they're both Avatar...
>>82762342
Big breasts sell more tickets to movies and more ad time slots get filled at higher prices.
That's the main reason anyway.
Also, BIG BREASTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>82763790
Eat shit
>>82764567
Posting the worst part of the show why.
>>82764567
That's not really an image you should use while trying to convince us the show was any good.
>>82763117
>Attack on Train aka Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress.
I fucking hate you people. The thing has little to do with attack on titan.
>>82764878
>>82764759
Your opinions are incorrect
>>82765089
No, they're not.
>>82765067
says the guy posting the firefly rip-off
>>82765067
It has the same creative team and it's also about humanity at the brink of extinction at the hands of a supernatural threat.
Even if the execution is different it deserves a little riffing for that.
>>82765089
It hijacked the show and actively made it insufferable. And desu it's not even interesting, it's just boring lesbians.
>>82765125
HurHur.
>>82765219
Sure they both take place in Feudal times and have steam punk elements but Attack on titan is structured more like a shounen. I guess you could draw some more comparisons as far as the enemies being hard to kill but I actually applaud the series for making zombies pretty threatening. And I can't stand zombies in anything these days. Calling it an attack on titan rip-off isn't doing it justice although I agree you are welcome to riff on it I guess but don't detour people from watching it accidentally. Its also a really well animated series. Like suspiciously well animated.
>>82761511
The world progressed too fast it went from 700 A.D China(well the rest of the world outside the fire nation) to the early 1900s America that technological progress in 70 years is just too fast, it should have taken place in a time scale similar to 1100 A.D China.
>>82761511
Korra has 0 character progression for the first season and her "character arc" had probably one of the worst resolutions I've seen in all fiction. I dropped the series without hesitation.
>>82765658
>700 A.D China
>1100 A.D China
Are Tang and Song China that different?
>>82761511
I like the show, I just don't waste my entire day shitposting on /co/ about it.
I finished the fabled season 3, should I even bother with the final season? It was a chore to get this far.
>>82766250
If you didn't like season 3, season 4 will not be even remotely worth it.
Imo season 4 is more dissapointing than season 1.
>>82761511
>>82766309
watch the last two minutes so you can be angry and truly join the cult of hatred.
>>82766250
I told you not to watch after S01, didn't i?
i Warned you. But you didn't listen. Now you know you have no other choice but to finish this piece of shit. Eat it. Eat it all.
>>82766488
Not even talking about that. It was dissapointing after episode 2 of season 4, and kept on being dissapointing up to and including the end.
>>82761511
The writers had no idea what they were planning for involving the characters, barring Korra. Bolin was constantly changing jobs because they didn't know what to do with him, and by the end, there's still no clear life motivation for him or what inspires him to live on. Mako decided one day to be police officer, despite the fact that prior to this revelation, he didn't express any interest in law, societal order, or even the safety of the public. Even then, he becomes a side character in the last season after he breaks up with Korra. Then there's Asami:
And that's pretty much it.
>>82765813
Yes technologically.
>>82761511
Korra is the ultimate example of wasted potential: the show.
It could've been great, but the writers squandered its potential every chance they got.
Why does /co/ hate her.
Avatar was kind of ground-breaking in that it established adult themes openly in a series that was directed towards younger people.
I've never watched the new one but I certainly wouldn't balk at doing so.
>>82767828
I personally don't hate her, but i hate bryke for ruining her show.
Others hate her because bryke ruined her and made her somewhat incompetent, even though she shouldn't have been. Some also hate her for acting stupid and barely developing throughout the show, though that's on bryke too.
>>82767828
She was wrong.
>>82767878
My biggest gripe with LoK was the focus on shipping, like it was Degrassi or something.
Which doesn't even make sense because shippers prefer it to subtle.
Friend of mine pointed out that Last Airbender claimed humanity learned bending from the animals, firebending coming from dragons, earth those giant moles, etc, which was cool then in Korra they burned that bit of lore and went 'Humans got bending from spirits! Specifically the giant turtles they all lived on! as the world was nothing like it is now because spirits!'.
>>82761797
this
leave her alone, /co/, she's suffered enough
>>82768118
I despise pandering of any kind so this might not be the show for me.
It's like the smell of fecal matter but for the mind as a whole instead of the nose.
She's a better broody Superman than Snyder made.
>>82766309
>Imo season 4 is more dissapointing than season 1.
Yeah, book 4 was easily the weakest of the four even though it started out really strong. Basically when the focus shifted from being about Korra and her recovery it went downhill.
>korra's own father hasn't seen her in six months
>he reacts like "lol WOW i wonder where she is?;)" instead of panicking
>nobody cares to the point tenzin sends the kids on a wacky adventure to find her
>mako and asami acted more like they were reunited with a cousin they hadn't seen in awhile than with the girl they loved who had been missing for six months after spending three years in a wheelchair after nearly dying
>tenzin is basically a non-entity in korra's recovery even though he was willing to let himself die to protect her in book 3
>korra's hallucinations are never dealt with, it'll probably just be an angry spirit that asami will defeat with the power of yuri in the comics
>fucking wu
>>82768295
Keep your bullshit elsewhere you meme spewing fuckface.
>>82768155
Wrong
>>82768358
no!
>>82768216
If nothing else, I can say that the fight scenes are pretty amazing. It's not as flashy as TLA, but the choreography is on point and there's real sense of weight in everyone's attacks.
I actually like everything about the show except the writing. The writing is so fucking terrible and it brings the entire show down as a result.
>>82768378
>>82768398
can't wait for a girl korra knew as a teenager in the south pole to show up in the comics and ruin their relationship
>>82768392

I guess the "other than" totally slipped by your small mind.
>>82768437
Let's not talk about Pierrot's contribution...
LET'S USE PICTURES INSTEAD
>>82768426
Sounds awful enough that it could happen. Honestly though they should just drop the whole Korrasami angle as soon as the comics begin and just pretend they never mentioned it.
>>82768525
Work on your reading comprehension.
I was not talking about the writing, but the sub-optimal Jap-animation in S2.
FORDED WUN MIRRION TIMESU
>>82768528
>>82768569
It's outsourced to South Korea. Nobody animates anything anymore (in the west) outside of cute flash animations.
>>82768615
Studio Pierrot is Japanese.
>>82768533
The only way Korrasami will end is if Korra or Asami is getting together with a different girl, and I think the fandom's had enough of romantic drama that they wouldn't try to do that. Right now Korrasami is pretty much THE face of the franchise, its fans are scouring over every little thing that comes out for more of it- people were desperate to know if it would be in the FCBD comic (you know, the one about how Korra met Naga), people were pestering Zwyer to make a Korrasami statue, etc. UNLESS they can really prove why Korrasami doesn't work (and even if they do they'll receive backlash for getting the fandoms' hopes up with the art Bryan's drawn and that supposed artbook coming out for them) and have another girl for one of them lined up, they aren't touching it. They can't just say "well it didn't work out but they're still friends" or have one of them fall in love with a guy (God help them if they do).
Korrasami is here to stay, and I hope we're all ready for old lady Asami awkwardly offering the next Avatar driving lessons.
>>82768699
They are not
>>82768707
I know they can't do it now, but thats the hole they've made themselves. Besides if anything they still need to prove how it could work, and i don't see that happening for those of us who hate the pairing. And i can only hope that they won't be able to satisfy their retarded fanbase so they'll get a backlash for not doing it properly in comics either.
>>82768804
>Besides if anything they still need to prove how it could work, and i don't see that happening for those of us who hate the pairing
I'm pretty sure Bryke is not interested in making anything intended for people who didn't "get" it. They metaphorically sold their souls to the devil with this one.
>>82768906
Sure did. Which is also why i hope it backfires.
>>82761511
>Why doesn't /co/ like this show it is obviously superior to Avatar.
>>82761511
>it is obviously superior to Avatar.
I'm going to bite. In what way is it better?
>>82768999
Eh all of the LGBT people who had problems with the ship and Bryan's attitude after the finale were quickly shut out of the conversation, and I doubt Mike intends really do anything with the ship beyond them being cute and inoffensively vanilla.
Only way I can see them fucking it up is if Asami is quickly returned to her position as background fodder while Korra has more meaningful interactions with Mako (lbr she's never going to talk to him again because the Korrasami fandom will breathe fire every time one of them so much as looks as a guy) and Tenzin. Or they don't go with the fandom's interpretation of the ship where Korra is a moron who shits herself every time Asami so much as bats an eyelash in her direction, but actually depicts them as equals.
>>82761511
>Why doesn't /co/ like this show it is obviously superior to Avatar.
>>82761511
>The show that is only worth shit because of it's "progressive" ending.
>>82768785
>Pierrot Co., Ltd. is a Japanese animation studio, founded in 1979 by former employees of Tatsunoko Production and Mushi Production. Its headquarters is located in Mitaka, Tokyo.
>>82769160
Problem is, how can they give Asami a personality without pissing off the shippers. She is almost certainly going to be different from their headcanon if she gets a role at all. And if she doesn't get a role, that'll be a problem too.
For though there is obviously no way they could positively portray the ship since it's dead before it even began.
>>82768124
And they turned spirits from mysterious, pretty dark beings with unknown motives to happy happy multicolored animals.
>>82769203
It's worth less than shit BECAUSE of that.
>>82769319
Yeah I don't think the comics will get huge backlash but I do thing it has the potential to divide the Korrasami fandom.
People were complaining about pic related being OOC even though it totally isn't. You can ask a group of Asami fans what the character is like and you'll probably get a different answer from each one.
>>82768457
I don't know what I find so arousing from Asami.
I just want to bone her.
>ITT: instant replies
>>82769319
So no Asami performing pseudo-slaveplay on Korra?
>>82769506
I can dream can't I?
Yeah the only thing OOC about that pic, is the implied Korrasami. But i wouldn't expect people who only like the show because of lesbians to actually know the show or characters.

or they could've made it a bit different, possibly more deep.
having it either be an outside influence, or many centuries later.
being a lot less about "the avatar" and more about industrialization and it's effects. (under the surface at least), yet not glorify nature as some sort of "good thing", nor even show it as a "balance", but rather just sort of neutral look as time progresses, and things change, often far beyond the control/ability of a single person to influence, that despite what "positive" enviroementalists and other fags say; you can't change the world, you might just be able to stop from being run over though..
Importantly you need to have guns, you need to have characters getting shot/shooting/being shot at, being scared of being shot, not being able to block or dodge.. Martial arts and traditonal lifestyles should not be fetishized, rather they should be shown as noble, but outdated, and outmoded by well organized, well trained soldiers with ""modern"" weapons.
Traditional societies/tree-huggers should be shown as delusional, as trying to block/stop the tides.
I think that "Princess Mononoke" did what Avatar was trying to do a lot better, (though it wasn't trying to fill primetime on an american television channel for x-number of seasons.)
It's been awhile since I've seen both, but thinking about it now, does anyone else feel like ATLA managed to be darker and more mature than TLOK? Death scenes aside of course.
>>82761511
She's a has-been, OP.
SHE'S NOT THE WAIFU SHE ONCE WAS, YOU HEAR ME?
>>82770274
Yes. But mostly because LoK didn't really deal with it's mature themes, it just kinda put them up and used them as cover to seem more mature.
>>82763790
I refuse to believe that anybody thinks that Korra is as shitty as 02.
>>82770364
I remember ATLA being a lot less goofy and silly than TLOK was too, or at least the humor wasn't as badly done.
>>82769968
The Japanese know how to handle strong independent women.Treat them like the myths they are.
>>82770431
That too, the humor was very hit or miss in LoK. For instance Varrick seems to be a favorite and was funny most of the time, whereas Bolin wasn't that funny even though he was designated comic relief.
Sokka was funny everytime he needed to be though.
>>82767828
Because it could (should?) have been as good as Avatar.
I think most poeple don't hate it because of what they got, but because of what they didn't. There isn't too many truly atrocious scenes or scenario choices. It's just that one suboptimal choice after another, the show drifted away from people's expectations.
IN the end, it simply lacks mastery.
Personally, while I consider it truly inferior to Avatar (that was wonderful to watch), it managed to communicate some emotions and messages to me. I guess it depends of your state of mind, but that show got some sensibility, and it never tried to choke you with the morals, both of which are rare in today's cartoons.
>>82767619
This.
The art is nice.
Some of the concepts are nice.
The characters are lacking in depth (shit).
The interplay between the characters is like tumblr tier trash written by a 300lb antisocial aspergers ridden sjw cunt that never leaves her computer (shit).
The flow was poor (shit).
The change in dynamic from season to season was off putting (shit).
The romance was complete horse shit, done badly, lead up to badly, resolved badly and shallow as hell.
The SJW messages were garbage.
The last few episodes of the series were so painfully stupid I wanted to punch the entire creative team in the face.
>>82767828
I hate her until her personality got rebooted for S3 and 4.
From that point on I don't mind her.
>>82770732
If only Korra was it's own standalone series and not the successor to a VERY successful series.
I mean, I didn't like any of the characters really at all, but at least you wouldn't have the comparison to the fantastic cast in ATLA.
>>82770800
Korra is so damn lucky she corresponds to all my fetishes, otherwise I would have dropped this shit ages ago.
>>82763790
Thanks anon, after a second of figuring out who the guy was, I laughed a good one. Made my day.
>>82770800
They kinda killed her personality in the end after defeating Kuvira though.
>>82770418
As shitty? No, I agree myself.
But in the context of it's own shows? Yeah, I would say so. From their respected predecessors, the sequels don't match up to snuff. 02 did it worse though. But funny that both endings were complete asspull BS in different ways, thinking about it.
>>82768358
>Azumanga Daioh gif
Is this 2007?
>>82764567
Korra should have ended up with Bolin. Only characters that actually had any on screen fun.
>Korra and Mocko (Muh training)
>Korra and Assami (Muh Daddy Issues)
>Korr and Bolin (actually having fun and laughing)
>>82774137
This. Korra and Bolin had actual chemistry unlike Korra/Mako or Korra/Asami.
Did /co/ ever make a sequel to Korra? I faintly remember this Sand Bender avatar or whatever but where did that go?
>>82768707
ten on one of them going for Mako again.
And then you will all know what avatar fans have known all along about the comics being shit.

>>82774334

Me too senpai, me too.
>>82775259

>>82775565
That would be nice, but no one seems to do it.
>>82765561
>detour
the word you're looking for is deter. Detour is something different.
Korra was a fucking great show except for some minor problems.
While ATLA is a better show overall, Korra had way fewer filler episodes.
>>82775259
Korra and Bolin wouldn't have lasted, let's be honest.
>>82775842
More likely than any other Korra pairing.
>>82775811
>Korra was a fucking great show except for some minor problems.
Retarded mary sue protagonist and antagonist was a pretty goddamned big problem for S1. Her being hot and brown was basically the show's saving grace.
>>82775949
It would "last" the same way Eska/Bolin did, in that Bolin is too much of a wuss to actually break up with her when it becomes obvious things won't work. Just imagine if Bolin used his diplomatic charms to try and calm Korra in book 2- she'd break up with him five minutes into the first episode.
People get too fixated on what they were like when they were happy and Korra still had a relatively normal life and forget how hard it'd be to actually be in a relationship with Korra.
>>82776081
Korra most likely wouldn't be like Eska, so that's a weird comparrison. And honestly, considering how Bolin handled Opal later on i think he would handle Korra better in book 2 than Mako did.
But then again, book 2 is a poor example of how both characters normally behave since Bolin suffered from brain injury between book 1 and 2, and somehow Korra regressed and suffered from constant PMS for half the book.
>>82776204
>And honestly, considering how Bolin handled Opal later on
You mean disastrously? Dude thought pretending to break his leg to lure Opal into having a picnic with him was a good idea. If he tried that with Korra she'd set him on fire.
>>82776278
well seeing as how unstable Korra is, she probably would have thought Bolin was being sweet when he did that to lure her away from everyone.
>>82776081
But obviously Bryke didn't think that when he announced forced lesbianism despite shit relational character development
>>82776341
Yeah I'm not disagreeing that Korrasami is shit, I'm just saying Borra isn't much better. Korra's better off single.
>>82775811
>filler episodes
The lack of so-called "filler episodes" is exactly the problem with Korra. We're given no time to learn about these characters, to grow with them, so that when shit goes down there really isn't much investment in what's happening. AtLA had a lot more room for character interaction, development, and fun; meanwhile Korra feels stuffed and bare at the same time.
>>82776278
>If he tried that with Korra she'd set him on fire.
Obviously not, but she would be angry with him. However Bolin handled Opal rather well actually, they were on the verge of breaking up and he fixed it by helping her out when she needed it.
Bolin is not that bad at the relationship stuff as you'd think. But he is bad at taking care of himself. Something Korra would help him with and he might just calm her down a bit with his go with the flow/funny guy attitude.
>>82776400
>Bolin is not that bad at the relationship stuff as you'd think
Yes he is. The entire Krew is shit at relationships.
>>82776380
They shouldn't have forced any romance at all. Creators need to realize that this stupid shit is not a requirement for a story and instead just makes things worse by taking up time that could be used for actual worldbuilding.
>>82776425
He made more work than the rest though. Him and Korra might have been great, they had the chemistry atleast. Him and Eska was going well until he realised she was insane, and he ended up landing Opal after she made their relationship rocky.
>>82776552
Let's be real, Bolin only stayed together with Opal because the writers willed it. Any girl, or at least a girl like Opal would have broken up with the man who was working for the army that captured her hometown and imprisoned her family. Bolin being dumb and naive isn't a really good excuse, especially by book 4.
>>82776627
Good thing he didn't actually do any of that then. He had deserted by that time.
And yeah whatever the writers will happens, that's unfortunately how it goes with writing. But it does show that Bolin was able to have almost 3 relationships that all ended on good terms and he stayed in the last one.
Now for book 4 obviously they shouldn't have brought Borra back, it would have been weird and out of place. But had they continued with Borra after the date night in book 1 and kept them together for the entire show it could have been great. Unfortunately we won't knów how that turns out because they dropped it in favour of Makorra.
And yeah in book 4 Korra being single was truly the only sensible option.
>>82769542
She's very attractive.
Too bad that's all she has going about her.
>>82776829
That and money. Which brings power.
>>82768155
everything she 'suffered' about, she caused herself. She deserves everything and more.
