So, The Last Airbender is good. Korra is also good, in a lot of ways. Animation? Brilliant. Choreography? Yes. Anything beyond a surface deep reading of its representation as politics? Well....
Its so weird, how did they go from AtLA, to this show where every good guy is either a cop or a CEO or literal royalty and every single villain is some caricature of a leftist? In the last season, theres a king whos demonstrably dumb, vain, and in no way should be in charge but hes just still played as the good guy and anyone who doesn't want him to be king is evil???
The Avatar, protector of the people, seeker of balance, coming in just to restore the status quo leaders every single time. Its the definition of liberal politics. Just made this thread to bitch, but lets all complain about how many times the heroes in these stories blindly return everything to how it was because "any change = bad"
Korra was supposed to be a one parter right? Then it got expanded or something.
Maybe?? Honestly who can tell, that production seemed like a bit of a mess
I wished they just focused on saheer, that was cool. I loved the idea of the avatar not being the 'good guy'
Disney fucked them on production every chance they got. They stopped airing season 3 mid season and put it all online. For the fourth season, they cut them the budget of one episode so they had to make a filler ep.
Yup. It was supposed to be only the first season, which is why it got messy after that.
