I know yall have seen all the episodes already... but you have to remember about Aang.. he was a master Airbender. He had his tattoos by the time he was 12. So while Tensin is a BEAST and it may have taken time to show how skilled he is.. Aang was no pushover, even as a child, and again he was a master. LOVE the reviews and am glad to watch these! I grew up with ATLA and love Korra. The first season is by far the best, but still
will
2023-10-06 01:31:34 +0000 UTCso cool how i can connect with two great people over a show i love from across the world, and everyone else here, what a time to be alive in the midst of everything

2023-07-15 04:20:32 +0000 UTCI more or less agree. It doesn't harm my feelings or anything that it's compared to ATLA, I just think its individual quality doesn't reach excellency, forget about ATLA if you want. The potential is there and it gets there sometimes but for me it goes in the opposite direction too many times to be considered excellent overall. For me is pretty good sometimes but also has some of the worst things I've seen. Does that make it good in average? I don't know. I have conflicting feelings. I like it overall but hate it sometimes. The one thing I truly stand for that I think doesn't deserve so much hate is Korra herself. Except for the massive involution she had you know when, but I blame the creators more than I blame her. She's a good protagonist despite some horseshit she does.

2023-07-05 13:41:27 +0000 UTCKaijinGarou, Korra is good, excellent you might say. But doesn’t mean it’s better. Specially for a specific season. Idk if that’s a spoiler, but that’s all I’m gonna say. That to me made this show from excellent to good. Just good. ATLA on the other hand is a masterpiece.

2023-07-05 11:13:25 +0000 UTCHamilde Demir, What other animals could bend? The only other animals that could bend were the badger moles, dragons, and bisons. The hybrid animals could not bend at all. Specially not the animal that had the great sense of smell, or that animal that was a mix between a hound and an eel.
JeremyRD LaMaxima
2023-07-05 11:08:16 +0000 UTCcause every other animal we saw on the show could bend and naga is the only odd one in the bunch lmao xd

2023-07-04 19:16:25 +0000 UTCThank you. IDK why some people can't enjoy something unless they blindly claim it's flawless, especially if the arguments they're gonna give you to defend that point are going to be this childish and vague. But as I said I'll just try to focus on the things I do believe this show does well because arguing with people that refuse to listen is pointless anyway.
KaijinGarou
2023-07-03 08:15:22 +0000 UTCI grew up as a kid watching A:TLA and was a young adult while watching Korra and I love both series. Although for me, I much prefer Korra's overall life lessons, themes and world building

2023-07-03 04:01:41 +0000 UTCVery well said, I can enjoy the parts of this show that I do and have some criticisms as well. I've watched this show multiple times and have gotten interesting and new perspectives from those who really love this show. I still have my qualms but if you love it, ok. If you don't want to hear criticism, fine, but if you come with weak arguments like it's nostalgia you're just showing that you haven't taken the time to look critically at the show. There are plenty of people making valid critiques of this show, take a quick stroll on YouTube, or even these Facebook groups. I don't hate the show and I don't mind that others love it, if I did why would I be here. I just don't like these uninformed arguments.

2023-07-03 01:12:30 +0000 UTCThe fire nation elites kept power within the family by marrying other families of powerful benders. We saw this with Ozai marrying the granddaughter of Avatar Roku. Lightening bending was isolated to the royal family of other elites. With the defeat of the fire nation there came a democratization of specialized skills. The comics go in detail about the spread of metal bending as well. It's the law of cities as well they bring people of diverse skills in one place.

2023-07-03 00:34:45 +0000 UTCYou watched ATla after school on tv at 10 yrs old. You tried to watch LOK as a full adult on nick.com. Maybe its that, and not some flaw in LOK🤷🏾♂️

2023-06-30 10:59:48 +0000 UTC@sudden I disagree as you can imagine. Of course ATLA has some flaws, everything does, but I think it only has a few that don't stop it from being a masterpiece while LOK is an OK show with unfortunately too many flaws to be as good as it could have been if Nickelodeon wouldn't have made so many mistakes. I read about the creators' original plan for the show and boy would I have loved that one. But it is what it is, whoever's the fault is. I think other than Korra and a couple more characters, the character development is pretty much nonexistent and the plot has too many inconsistencies. Not to mention the villains aren't nearly as deep as some claim. The initial concepts maybe are deep, but they flopped the execution, challenging the initial concept and being contradicting in most cases, especially one I'm sure you know who without giving names, because the creators seem to have wanted them to fight for valid causes that raise important questions about this universe but also dispose of them like pure evil villains when needed and not deepen too much in those questions. But you can't have your cake and eat it too. And it pisses me off a little when you give people arguments and they just go for the nostalgia wildcard every time ignoring them. As I said, even if that was the case it wouldn't be a valid argument IMO because this show relies a lot on nostalgia to function so WTF. I don't remember S&P saying they might be wrong about that either, although I could remember wrong. I'll try to stop bringing this discussion up anyway because except for you, most people here just use the "nostalgia" wildcard and give no further arguments and it's not a fun discussion for anyone either way. I'll just focus on enjoying what I do enjoy about LOK at least for this season as I don't know if I'll stick around for the next one 😅

2023-06-30 08:42:20 +0000 UTC@jenny Did you read anything else I said or just quote the one line that was convenient to you, ignoring everything else, especially the part about that very line not being the true problem?
KaijinGarou
2023-06-30 08:06:30 +0000 UTCGreat and concise explanation for them. Ty.

2023-06-30 01:54:41 +0000 UTC"I like Korra overall but the story writing and character development isn't even close to ATLA " I think thats very debatable, and I've seen many people both agree and disagree with it. I think both shows have pros, cons, and compliment each other well. I think each show does some things better than the other, and I think they both have flaws. I like them both about the same, and for different reasons, myself. I do think, overall within the Avatar community as a whole, some of the flaws with ATLA tend to get downplayed, and some of the flaws with Korra tend to get amplified, but that's just my personal experience with it. End of the day, people can, and have, had discussions about all this for hours. We welcome any and all discussion about these things in the community discord Avatar channels, and we have had them fairly regularly at that. I do appreciate people trying to keep it vague on here, since this isn't the best place to have such discussions since S&P read the comments. Even if everyone else keeps it under wraps, there's usually one person that tends to say too much eventually. I do understand some peoples frustration with S&P's comments regarding the nostalgia factor in comparing them, but I think its important to keep in mind they also qualified that by saying that they might be wrong and that they are aware of the context that they haven't seen much of the show yet. We shall see how they feel once they get further in so that should be interesting. So thanks for keeping this in mind and keeping it vague. =)

2023-06-30 01:53:08 +0000 UTCThe Air Acolytes follow the lifestyle of the Air Nomads but are not Airbenders. They keep the culture alive essentially. Tenzin's wife is an Air Acolyte. The only current Airbenders are Tenzin and his kids... and Korra of course as the Avatar.

2023-06-30 01:15:16 +0000 UTC@KaijinGarou He literally just said that most of the complaints about LoK boil down to to comparison of the shows and LoK isn't as good as AtLA because they do this better. Then you say "story writing and character development isn't even close to ATLA" lolol you're literally proving his point.
Jenny Tolls
2023-06-29 22:22:08 +0000 UTCAsami = Mako’s girlfriend and Lynn Beifong is Toph’s daughter. I am so glad you’re enjoying Korra! I didn’t appreciate it at first, but I had to watch it as it aired on Nick.com and it was horrible quality and didn’t load very well at all. I rewatched it finally a few months ago, and man has this show moved me and taught me so much about this world! Each season has something to offer, and can’t wait to see your reaction to it all!
Stephanie Hundley
2023-06-29 22:10:12 +0000 UTCIt's not. I like Korra overall but the story writing and character development isn't even close to ATLA and it's not great on its own in many aspects either, but I would have to make a ton of spoilers here to argue and I can't for S&P. And as I said, even if nostalgia WAS the problem, you can't go around saying LOK is its own thing and not meant to be compared because they use nostalgia a lot in this show, so it's like punching someone in the face and telling them not to be angry because you didn't intend to hurt them. Just the fact that the side characters that are descendants from ATLA's team Avatar got more development and love by the creators in LOK than the actual current members of team Avatar tells you that much. Nostalgia is just your go-to wildcard excuse because you can't accept the fact that people dislike it because it has many flaws. It has some pretty high ups but many really low downs.
KaijinGarou
2023-06-29 21:45:22 +0000 UTCthe problem is nostalgia. I have yet to hear a valid argument against Korra because they ALL boil down to the fact that they dislike that it's not like atla. EVERY single thing they complain about is due to a comparison. LOK and ATLA are completely different shows, yet most of the discourse is surrounded by the fact that fans dislike that it's not like atla (in terms of storytelling, characterization, animation, etc).

2023-06-29 21:18:11 +0000 UTCi started dying laughing when they wondered why Naga couldnt water bend, like bro what😀😀
Eshwar Tangirala
2023-06-29 21:05:51 +0000 UTCThat makes sense but i dont think that can lead to everyone and everyone being able to lightning bend, maybe more advanced benders but not everyone.
Eshwar Tangirala
2023-06-29 21:04:17 +0000 UTCYeah Mako and Bolin are kinda trash compared to Katara or Toph in terms of overall power.
Eshwar Tangirala
2023-06-29 21:03:32 +0000 UTCI think that’s exactly what happened. That, and the increasing demand for lightning bending for industrial work incentivised firebenders to invest time in mastering the now available technique.
Mzuka
2023-06-29 18:12:37 +0000 UTCWhy would Naga be able to waterbend? Appa could Airbender cause Bisons were the original Airbender. The original Waterbender is the moon. And I will always defend TLOK from haters but saying the only reason people might dislike it being nostalgia is incorrect. The show has it's many flaws and Nickelodeon really tried to bring this show down but it's still very enjoyable
Hamide Demir
2023-06-29 17:29:14 +0000 UTCFunny how people keep blaming nostalgia when that's not the problem for most people and like if LOK wasn't trying to play the nostalgia card every episode so if that was really the problem, it couldn't be blamed for it...
KaijinGarou
2023-06-29 15:12:56 +0000 UTCIt's not like airbending can get much crazier. Aang was already a master at 12, so the gap between him and Tenzin isn't very big despite the age difference. Aang was too good at it if anything.
KaijinGarou
2023-06-29 15:07:20 +0000 UTCWell lucky for you in this episode Tarlok switched from question mark to exclamation mark
KaijinGarou
2023-06-29 15:02:56 +0000 UTCI’ve got a theory that lightning bending and the techniques in producing it were jealously guarded by the Fire Nation elite. With modernisation and the end of the totalitarian regime, these techniques likely became more publicly known, resulting in far more firebenders able to do it
Invisigoth99
2023-06-29 12:49:27 +0000 UTCIn regards to the power scaling, I feel like with the first series we were pretty much following nothing but prodigies: Aang, Katara, Toph, and Azula all became masters at extremely young ages; whereas with this second show we’re following a bigger but more toned down crew. Tenzin doesn’t seem like a prodigy because his temperament is so different than a typical carefree airbender, he’s more strict and by the books. Mako and Bolin seem to have worked their way to where they are through probending training. The only real prodigy we have is Korra who was bending 3/4 elements as a child. I think it’s smart not having everyone be so over powered in this world.

2023-06-29 09:33:12 +0000 UTCWater is weird, it doesn't have an analogue to dragons or badger moles for Fire and Earth, or bisons for Air. Water benders learned to bend by following the movements of the moon.
