Default Re: Legend of Korra

For what was supposed to be a 1-off 12 episode season (before the creators found out they got a second season) it was pretty d*mn brilliant.

My only fanboy-crying's about the finale were:
- lack of explanation of Amon's ability to take away bending short of "advanced bloodbending"
- Korra getting her bending back so quickly (BUT, given it was supposed the permanent end of Korra, I get why they did that. Would've been a great character arc for her to go through a longer low point in her life as the avatar)

Overall the advance in technology grew on me greatly.

The one thing I found was that the adult characters were waaaaay more interesting than the new "Team Avatar". Korra was a pretty-by-the-books headstrong and at-times-vulnerable character. Mako was nothing special. Bolin was a poor man's Sokka (I laughed at maybe one or two of his jokes) and Asami was okay (only given her conflict with her father)

However, I found Tenzin, Lin Bei Fong and Tarlok much more gripping in terms of characters.

And am I the only one who thinks there should be a Tenzin family comedy spin-off!!!

This series is wonderful. I love Korra. She is so gung ho. It's great to watch. I guess if I had to pick something I didn't like it would have to be the use of Bolin during the last third of the series. In the last episode, Bolin kinda tries to lighten the mood and Mako dismisses him with a "not now."

Also, I'm not exactly big on the whole MaKorra thing. In the Last Airbender, I knew that Aang and Katara were gonna be together but they took their time with it. On this one, Mako is all over Asami, but then Korra gets captured and he makes a 180. Fangirls online have accused Mako of being a bad boyfriend to Asami. While I'm not too big on shipping, I can't exactly disagree with the last statement.
