My feelings on LoK are
1. It’s atilk an avatar show filled to the brim with stuff I love like great world building, action and some charming characters.
2. Korra is smokin hot sexy chocolate tomboy goddess and I’m too busy drooling over her to have any sort of issue with her. Seriously. She is all the things I want in a waifu. Worth the price of admission. I’m probably biased.
3. Okay. Salivating aside, she is a boring protagonist who doesn’t go through anything interesting, and when she wins I don’t really know why. I’m not really invested in hw struggles.
4. The villains are the highlight of the show(besides chocolate goddess and Tenzin) but they tend to have great concepts but terrible execution. All of them had some interesting philosophical points and ideological ideas brought to the story, but the best example of Amon’s reveal to show how they get screwed up in the end.
5. A lot of the new good guys were annoying. Not nearly as fun as the old ones. There some great ones like Tenzin and Lin, but they are fees and far between.
6. The romance shit was ANNNOYIIING Jesus Christ. Fucking teen drama.
7. The original cast were far more interesting than most of the new cast. I wish we got to see more of them.
8. The original was one, long story where every step was importanT and weighty. In Korra it was a new villain and story every season, and it felt like a Saturday morning cartoon “villain of the month” thing, where nothing really changes? It doesn’t feel as grand. It doesn’t have the same weight.
Overall, I think the original show was lightning in a bottle that’s hard to capture again. I think the passion wasn’t quite at the same level. I think the story was over, and they couldn’t do it again.
I still enjoyed the show. It has a lot of the stuff I loved form the original and I’m glad I watched it. It just...couldn’t have ever lived up to the original.
