So what I understand from Avatar is that A:TLA successfully built a magical world that works in mysterious ways and A:TLOK ruined that by trying to explain it and have it make logical sense
Said "canonically " & left out the head part of headcanon. Korra's also incapable of seismic sense or lightning redirection but twinkle toes is out here bending elements blindfolded
@Fenrirtheicewo1 I guess since Aangs basically has to master fire last because of the war with fire benders they didn’t also want korra to end on fire as well
I decided to rewatch the whole LOK series and this is what I have to say..
Legend of Korra is genuinely the most overrated sequel in animation history and I will not apologize for saying that 😭
ATLA was about a 12 year old boy who ran from the weight of the world, lost everything, and still chose to carry a legacy that the person before him abandoned. He went from a child in denial to the most spiritually complete Avatar we've ever seen. Every season had purpose. Every arc had meaning. It was wholesome, disciplined storytelling from start to finish.
On the other hand LOK had no straight storyline. Season 1 was about a revolution. Season 2 was spirit world drama. Season 3 was anarchists. Season 4 was a fascist dictator. Each villain came and went like they were auditioning for a different show entirely. Korra spent 4 seasons unlearning the same lesson while the writers quietly dismantled everything ATLA built.
LOK replaced actual storytelling with agendas, therapy speak and a last minute lesbian reveal that was clearly added just so nobody could criticize it without being cancelled.
Nickelodeon really looked at one of the greatest animated series ever made and said 'let's make the sequel insufferable'.. that said
DON'T EVER COMPARE ATLA TO LOK!!
You can tell how much LoK was written in the "Girl Boss" Era
One of the reoccurring themes is to have the previous male characters turned into losers while the females take all of the spotlight
Aang ended up a shitty Dad, Sokka just died off and the writers didn't seem to care, Zuko just sits around and then loses his fights
They did the same thing to Luke Skywalker and Han Solo
Somehow it never clicked into any of these dip shit writers brains that defiling beloved characters doesn't have new characters gain a following
Aang becoming a shitty Dad who neglected his kids while Katara somehow let it happen, but she's too busy being a Korra cheerleading cameo character rather than who she actually was
Korra is an abomination constructed from a dead era of trash reddit writers
@SymplyTonbra Lol had she kept the portal closed she wouldnt haveto worry about 10,000 years of darkness now would she😭😭 then zaheer dosnt get airbending and kuvria isnt building spirit weapons she’s the worst like we said🤣🤣
