The only good thing to come of Korra was the JackSaint videos about its heavy-handed misrepresentation of political ideology, and the fact that a lesbian relationship wasn't portrayed as :awooga:
Agreed. I would’ve liked to see what the writers could have created given a real three season budget and timeline though. They really got screwed over having to make each season a stand-alone story.
The prequel books were actually quite good. Yangchen’s has a ton of proletarian focus and plot, which was very surprising considering how Korra was so lib that it was painful
I agree with you, but I find some of the story decisions in Korra to be unforgivable overall in a way that wrecks my enjoyment of the whole, such as the war profiteer grifter sort of just being allowed to keep doing whatever. :capitalist-laugh:
I genuinely think the show writes might have been SO railroaded in the Korra storyline that they desperately wanted to go the opposite direction with the prequels. Like from war profiteer who gets to hang around because he’s rich and funny and aligns himself with the protags, to a book with entire story arcs directed by working class politics. It was very jarring because I definitely see where you’re coming from. I probably wouldn’t have read them at all because of the sour taste Korra’s liberalism left in my mouth had I not been given a copy for free
Korra took all the liberalism of ATLA and cranked it to 11, though. :nyet:
