valitess When I started watching The Legend of Korra, my first tought was: well this is not like the other series; and I felt dissapointed, I was through the first 3 episodes, and I felt sick, it took me one and a half years to get back to it, and when I finnaly did, I couldn't belive how stupid I was. There was this new chemestry between the characters and the new dynamic within the world of the avatar, it felt real, more realistic and facing a lot of the modern world problems: equality, vandalism, world leadership; but on the emotional side as well, seeing families torn apart, depession, lack of communication, unspoken upsets. All around is one of the best stories you can find, well written, well designed and a bit hard to watch .

tshred-44663 This show trumps Avatar TLA in all ways, not just because of the plot, but the characters. We learn more about most Korra characters than we could most of the Avatar characters. Even the main 4 villains get more character the Firelord of Avatar. Honestly, I would say to watch this if you haven't already

ibrahimctit This show is not a good show. Admittedly, I used to love this show. I binged all the episodes and scraped money together to buy season 4 on dvd, but eventually I realized that I was deluded. The only reason I liked this show was because I told myself I was supposed to like it, it was made by the same people, right? (no). And the only reason I told myself I was supposed to like it was because I wanted more of the characters, people, and world I loved from ATLA. And the only reason I wanted more of that is because I wanted more beautiful storytelling. The LOK does not provide that I now see. I wanted more, so I blindly forced myself to see what I was getting as just as good or better than what I originally got. I don't wan't to write the 20pg. review that I am very capable of writing, so I'll get to the point. There are several things fundementally wrong with this show. It has numerous issues with world/setting; character; and plot. It rarely executes anything essential to good storytelling (character, plot, conflict) well. Just read up a little bit on elements of storytelling, examine LOK with a slightly more critical eye, remove the bias or nastolgic lens you may be viewing through, and then ask yourself again. Is this a good show? Is it deserving of the acclaim it has won? The LOK was not made by the people who made ATLA. Although Brike came up with the general original idea for ATLA, the writing team/staff, consisting of Aaron and Elizabeth Ehasz and others, are the people who really made the show the masterpiece that it is. Brike are the #1 creators behind the important storytelling aspects of LOK, and although they are great animators, they are not great writers or storytellers.

bettadiamond The sequel had so much potential, and I'm honestly disappointed by the writing. While the cast from The last airbender were more easy to connect to, Toph: The Strong one, Sokka: The funny one, Zuko: The edgy one, Katara: The understanding one, and Aang: The one who was struggling to live up to his expectations, and trying to not let everyone down. The Last air bender was light and calm and easy going for viewers, making it such a huge hit. Whereas Korra, the cast was made a little bit more darker. And I don't see much originality. Season 1 was just ripping off real situations. Amon resembled Hitler, non benders were the Germans, and benders were the Jewish folk. The anti-Jews hated the Jewish since they were often richer, having these skills in gold work and all. Then there was no build up in relationships. Relationships often seemed forced. The only exception was Bolin and Korra, you could see Bolin's slow interest in her. Where as Mako made no sort of hint that he was interested until he fought with Korra about being with his brother. Then Asami and Korra's relationship seemed forced since the show was such a flop compared to it's prequel. The writers probably just done it so that the LGBTQ would use it to promote themselves. I have nothing against them, but it seemed so forced, there was no build up, and there was these inter-relationships that got in the way. The korrasami relationship was just something to get more views and promotion and something for people to talk about, but it really sucked.
