definetly has potential now that we are sure to see 4 more seasons, but not my magnificent Korra yet.
If for nothing else the show is critical watching for the complex portrayal of PTSD.
It was definitely a pioneer in queer representation in animated shows for young persons as well.
Korra was sooo real and relatable, she was lost, misguided, manipulated, severing her connection to her past lives was very bold and i loved it. Villains are way better than Ozai maybe except for Unalaq, and the topics show used like immigration, equality and depression were amazing. Meanwhile ATLA was undoubtedly great, i would have preferred if Aang had to sacrifice his personal ideals for a better world and had to kill Ozai much more. besides all this i will never forgive them for making Toph a pig zzzz
This ain't it, chief. Legend of Korra is not only bad for a number of politically-unrelated reasons, it's also liberal bullshit (even more than the original, which veered into that territory occasionally)
Zaheer is a dumb liberal caricature of anarchists. He just makes a big fucking power vacuum and fucks off. Zaheer is about as good as the US
LoK isn’t politically any worse than TLA. Aang’s pacifism is frankly whack and
I already addressed that the original show veers into liberal bullshit too, but Legend of Korra is much, much more direct and much worse about it.
