I liked the pro-bending arc. It felt like the best part of the show's more modern feel.

That was honestly a great review of the problems in the series and now that they're pointed out, yeah, I remember those things also bugging me when they happened. Especially the useless sacrifice by Lin that could've been poignant but the writers didn't want any of that.

... Now that I'm remembering this stuff I'm getting annoyed at what they did. Most of my enjoyment came from the art style, the bending part of the setting, and some decent combat scenes.

I'm fairly certain the statue is of a young Aang because he was young when he ended the war. It's not like they didn't have hundreds of references to work with when they started building the statue (remember the wanted posters from the first series?).

(just my minor nitpick)

Mostly fair criticisms there, but despite that, Korra is at least a B-grade show. It's by no means flawless, but there's still plenty of enjoyment to be had by watching it.

This is my view, basically.

Yeah, I've had to learn to not let in-depth criticism of a show ruin my experience of it.

I've got a friend that's spent enough time on the /co/ anti-Korra circlejerk that he thinks the show is shit and the writers should all be fired. I don't like when internet discussion turns people into that.

Well, the way I see it is if you enjoyed something, you enjoyed it. No one can ever dispute that. If something has a horrible flaw but you didn't notice it, that's okay, for the same reasons suspension of disbelief itself is okay.

Just because you enjoyed it doesn't mean it's not flawed though. Remember though that everything is flawed (the question is just how much), and also that there's no shame in saying "yeah it had a problem, but I don't care."


The first time I watched Korra I got some enjoyment out of it, despite sort of disliking it overall. It has a few merits. It doesn't stand up to analysis though which in the end is what I personally care most about. Thus I file it into the "I was entertained" folder, which is for things that passed the time well enough but doesn't have much value past that.

The second time through I got a lot of good snark from it with the fiance :)

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I rather like Korra. It shows an interesting twist on the Avatar world.

Although I personally much preffer the original Avatar world. Mostly because it's not so gritty and showered with the eternal de-characterifier that is the Industrial Revolution.

Neo, they said that they will air it out until the end of the season, which they have probably prepared in advance to serve as a end to the show given that there was no confirmed 3rd season back when it started airing.

What is weird about Young Justice is if you know the comics they are based off of... It is like they are fixing those storylines.

So Marhall Lee isn't going to be voiced by Dante Basco in the upcoming Fiona & Cake episode. I'm disappointed. I want everyone to be voiced by Dante Basco.

Static Shock what have they done to you?

Why is it that everytime I see Static Shock outside of... Static Shock (and that JLA episode)... he is suddenly criminalistic?

---

No wait my mistake... he is Black Falcon, not Static Shock.

No wait my mistake again... it IS static Shock.
