"SJWs" in the 80s actually stood for something, though, it wasn't just a bunch of beta males parrotting a handful of menstruating women and rallying against free speech and white people.

It's kind of shitty, really. It's pretty good for a cartoon but is that honestly a metric that would give you "the greatest story ever told"?

Season 4 was really the only season that was truly awful.
Seasons 1-3 ranged from meh to ATLA-tier
>>
>>84372464
ummm not really, history tells us that there is push back, but generally speaking things don't rewind, slaves were freed and than there was push back in the south against how far the Radical Republics had taken it which led to oppression of blacks throughout the South but literal slavery never returned

especially if we are talking continuous civilizations and modern history, things trend toward the progressive, there will be periods of push back but they can't reverse this trend
>>
>>84372557
lol no, season 4 was ok its probably about the same tier as season 1

Season 2 was by far the worst piece of trash ever

Season 3 was the only season on par with ATLA

Season 2 had the Varrick arc which makes it the best.

everything else was awful

Seasons 1 and 2 were much, much worse than 4, and only 3 is close to ATLA quality.

you don't seem to pay attention do you?

things don't reverse, pedosexuality used to be ok, and then it stopped being ok, its not gonna come back just like child labor isn't gonna come back

>>84372631
Funny thing is that if it's good - Japan copied it from the West.

I mean they technically were

now whether or not share cropping was a worse life than slavery is another story but black people weren't literally bought and sold at property anymore, at least not legally

Season 4 had some good moments

Unfortunately it had a terrible structure that didn't allow the plotlines to connect properly and a clusterfuck of an ending.

>Korra was stuck away from all other characters for like half the season
>Asami was useless as usual
>Tenzin didn't do shit
>the Fire Nation and the United Republic were forced to stand down like French because team avatar were the ones that had to save the day
>the only characters that mattered were Korra, Bolin, Varrick and the Beifongs
>>
Even if you were only counting American cartoons it still wouldn't be the best.
>>
>>84372943
I did mention that this partner only applies to modern history and continuous civilizations

I mean slavery was illegal in the Persian Empire over 2000 years ago but that doesn't mean anything for the discussion of modern history which only goes back about 300-400 years
>>
This is objective, you can't argue it.
>>
>>84373069
The taste just gets worse as I keep reading.
>>
>>84373069
Season 3 wasn't as good as people say. Most of Korra was mediocre. The best part of Korra was the sense of excitement you got, watching the new Avatar romp around Republic City, having faith the show wouldn't suck ass.

They're right. individually it might not, but as far as legislature goes, we move more and more to the left. That's part of the reason islam seems batshit insane to first world countries, when thousands of years ago it was more accepted if not outright sharing laws with other religions/civilizations.

The 1970s were super liberal, but the 1980s brought back conservatism. PC culture was everywhere in the 90s, it recessed in the 2000s, then came back in the 2010s.

It's great but I wouldn't even call it one of the best animated series of all time to be honest. Definitely not the greatest story ever told

>>84372209
That's a pretty subjective thing to say

how could you possibly know that Avatar was the best fucking there is when you never finished EVERY stories in the world?
>>
>>84373069
Season 2's overall story was actually so much cooler than the others, but it would have been so much more AMAZING if season 2's story was the overarching story of all 4 seasons with the other 3 stories happening all while harmonic convergence was getting closer and closer. They could've said something like as it grows nearer more and more airbenders keep popping up until Zaheer gets it.

Lemme know how this order sounds to you /co/

Season 4 should have been season 1 with the earthkingdom secret airbender army being put into this season instead. The earth kingdom having that army while they are rarely appearing in the world would have been way more shocking and exciting and better explain the situation of them showing up and nobody knows why. Here is where we could have learned about harmonic convergence and the red lotus escaping (governments deal with that, but kuvira is a more immediate threat so korra focuses on her). Season 2 would be the red lotus trying to kill korra and the red lotus generally fucking up stuff with chaos all over the world. korra deals with them. Then season 3 would be amon's revolution and using season 1 and 2's events as evidence for why benders are bad. Season 4 would be the season 2 story, ending with harmonic convergence finally happening and all that follows.
>>
>>84373069

Yes, that's pretty correct. The clusterfuck shipping shows that they were kind of making it up as they went along. Probably the biggest problem.

The other is that team avatar never felt like much of a team. Not exactly close friends the way the original gang were. They spent too much time exploring side characters.

Should have had an episode per season exploring Red Lotus/Kuvira's backstory though.

Kuvira losing was also kind of bullshit.

Yeah, Aang's story as the Avatar didn't wrap up as nicely as it should've. It probably would've turned ATLA into one of those shows that completely flubs the ending, but we're lucky that the other endings were so good (Zuko made Firelord, Iroh getting his tea shop, Aang and Katara kissing)

Not sure how Kuvira/Red Lotus plots can be reversed. Red Lotus killed Earth Queen, which created a power vacuum. Kuvira filled it.

But it does seem like a good idea. Most seem to agree that an overarching plot would have been better. Season one was commissioned as a mini series though, so they never expected being given the chance.

What's the deal with Korra comics?
