While I like the current villains of Korra... I just groan at their motivations.

Clearly, he was avenging Bosco.

Seriously that was some cold-blooded horiffic shit and they showed it on screen in a Y7 show how awesome is that.

Some interesting trivia about why The Last Airbender turned out so terribly.
I wholly believe executive meddling played a large role, but I'd still blame Shyamalan for a lot of other things about it, given his track record (before and since).

Probably part of the reason why it is going on the internets only?

The problem with singling out one thing wrong with that movie is that... everything was wrong.

The acting was wrong, the actors was wrong, the script was wrong, the CGI was wrong, the Choreography was wrong, the direction was wrong...

Don't get me wrong I am not one of those people who was like "Kitara is white NOO!!!", I was fully willing to accept it as it is hard to find good child actors especially when you are limited to one race (or look alikes). Heck I was willing to forgive a lot with the movie because I know that the show couldn't possibly be condensed into a movie format without losing something, it had to focus. Yet UGH!

Oddly enough I thought the movie was going to take its own path separate from the show, since that was what the trailer depicted... but instead it followed the show both too much and too little.

Networks couldn't have messed over the movie on their own.

Its a team effort.  The first makes a move, resulting in the second following up on limited number of possible moves for a combo bonus.  Sometimes, they work together so well, that they get a high combo bonus, before one or the other drops the ball, messing up the bonus.  This gets repeated enough times to get the result we have today.

The show is almost entirely show and not tell. You are meant to sort of piece things together without it being outright expressed (with exception) so being lost is entirely normal.

I will tell you that I didn't like Adventure time until about the end of the 3rd season.

Trust me, just keep watching and look in the background.

Recently finished watching Archer. Some really good running jokes in there, hope they do a 6th season.

Honestly I felt like the 5th season, though I never finished it, was meant to be a sort of march to the ending.

A 6th would outright HAVE to be the last one.

After the third new episode of Gravity Falls, I've realized that the entire season so far has been about resolving character conflicts from the first season.

Why do we push forward, knowing this fate, that we are destined for failure? Because, this game grasps the concept of mortality. Some games you can never lose, but we all stop eventually, causing a 'death' to those game's 'worlds'. Dwarf Fortress gives us a definite end, knowing that we will leave that world eventually, and move on to more.

Honestly I am astonished with how far cartoons have gone since the 80s.

Well far in some respects and not others.

---

Also while I liked the 2nd episode of Gravity Falls it just felt weird as someone who went through the first season.

Its like having that one character who manages to avoid everything supernatural... and next season they are like "Sure I'll go ghost hunting with you". The last episode she was in where she was dealing with the supernatural and was aware of it, she was completely befuddled and helpless.

Third episode also had a "Its strange for anyone who watched the first season" but that is probably because it felt like a quick resolution...

I am starting to think they are just hastily running through plot points.

Mind you... Both Dekota and Dipper's Not Girlfriend were pretty stale storylines at this point but still..

Though maybe with Dekota out of the way maybe Mable will actually become a true co-star instead of it pretty much being Dipper as the main character and Mable getting the side stories and pretty much being the sidekick.

It all just seems to be setting the series up for some things.

That, or they just don't like dragging out character problems through multiple seasons.

I think it is mostly the second... Lets face it Dakota was stale pretty much the first episode she appeared in.

Also dang it Legend of Korra season 3... Your episodes so far have been consistently really good.

Also, Boomi aren't you supposed to be a legendary war general? You REALLY don't show it, even when you get the opportunity to.
