The Legend of Korra 1x6 Reaction & Review

Korra is definitely a more mature show, both in the themes that it explores and the issues the characters have to face. I think the reason people hold ATLA in a higher light is partly nostalgia but also because of completeness of the story and the character arcs. You'll love Korra though, there are some fights and episodes in this show that are unmatched! How much do we want to hype up Spartan for Season 3 though cause ya'll already know that's gonna be his favorite lol

Peter Shim

I agree even tho season 3 is my favorite season with the best villain

Timminson

It’s Toph’s last name lol remember the 2 eath bending kids told the Aang gang about the “Beifong Estate”, which where they of course found Toph.

Austin Kilgore

I freakin' love the idea of Sokka couching Toph, Katara and Zuko as a Pro-Bending team!

Lindsay Mathieson

I enjoyed Korra, but nostalgia has nothing to do with its flaws and why people say it's worse than Atla

Farmer John

The main issue with Korra is that after Season 1, the story becomes erratic and inconsistent, mainly because of how Nickelodeon treated the show in that the showrunners were never sure how many Seasons they were allowed to make or were being ordered by Nickelodeon

Great point

Personally, I rooted for the korra characters because I liked them and their development. I treated them as separate shows, as that is what they are. Personally, I *definitely* think they hold a candle (the storytelling more particularly, not as much on the char development, but that's partially Nickelodeans fault), but to each their own. Different strokes and all that.

SuddenImpulse

Korras got some epic moments and 100% worth the watch, but the storytelling and character development doesn't hold a candle to ATLA. Remember part of the reason you're rooting so passionately for the korra characters is because of the love you got for the ATLA characters and how welll they were written. They feel like a part of aangs crew in a way

This is true I think. Also yeah, she uses fire a lot. It matches her personality well, it is effective, and even though she is a RIDICULOUSLY good water bender she doesn't tend to carry water with her, whereas fire you can toss out any time.

SuddenImpulse

For me Korra has specific moments I dislike, but the Villans and fight sequences were always one of the reasons I still like the series overall.

KeenEye

I find it interesting how Spartan has a real favourite in Mako, even though I don't think he's earned that status. I think Spartan is projecting his love for Zuko on him reflected by them bringing up Zuko w Mako so many times. Dude, Korra is your Zuko personality of this series, her being born in the water tribe means nothing as she acts more firebendery than the firebenders in this series. Fire is her signature go to move.

Guys metal bending is not its own bending. They're earth benders that are part of the metalbending police force lol.. people that lightning bend without equipment are firebenders.

Ammaar Ahmed

I don't think tenzin would have been able to fly all the way himself (but he was nerfed as Beifong could have given him an assist). But dw this series will give Tenzin his time to shine, in the best episode of this whole series.

Ammaar Ahmed

how did you guys forget tophs surname 🤣

Ammaar Ahmed

The amon attack reminds me so much if the Son of the Harpy attack in Game of Thrones

Ammaar Ahmed

interesting s2 is universally stated as the weakest.

Ammaar Ahmed

yall are absolutely going to go feral for s3 is you love this already. There's alot of great things about this show, although I do think the Avatat Gang is pretty weak, and Korra is meh for me. The offspring of thr GAang and the villians are the best bits. I'm not a fan of the tech development, especially at the end of the series bcs it basically means the next avatar will have the internet and probably tiktok style social media and technically would have surpassed our own development and by its own rapid trajectory should have space travel.

Ammaar Ahmed

Even Tenzin of all ppl was tired of the cheating in that finals match ☠️. The fighting sequences in this episode were really good.

Unique

i smile at korra praise. so much great stuff in this show. they give epic fights in random episodes too. its different but its so good

Nando

Toph did not marry so Lynn took her last name

I'm loving that they're enjoying the show. I think Spartan hit the nail on the head that its nostalgia that has people hating Korra and wanting it to be a direct follow-up to the previous series, which is was not ever going to be and the creators said they didn't wanna do. There are some other issues that come up, but we'll talk about those when they happen. As for S1 (and to a lesser extent S3 and kinda S4) I think Korra is a great show and definitely more mature.
