Korra is like Yugioh 5Ds, it doesn't exactly know what demographic it is aiming at

He's a stereotypical Internet neckbeard. He has to get fake outraged at everything, or he's not doing his job.

CC knows he's trolling but actually believes what he types but which makes him the worst type of troll. In the past in between his trolling he used to post insightful topics or opinions but lately its just trolling and his obsession with sex and yet right wing conservative christian views and its just annoying. Too bad since I used to enjoy some of his insight but he just trolls now.

I watched the first two episodes of Korra. Here are my thoughts:

- I knew before I watched it that the show would move ahead 100 years, but considering I just finished Avatar yesterday, its so surreal to think the entire cast of kids I just watched are all dead except Katara. That's just...crazy. Katara being the only one still alive and being an old lady has my feels. I mean good god, all the kids I just watched are all dead! Jesus Christ.

- Korra's personality seems OK so far. She's the typical angsty teen who lashes out on her elders and is curious by the big city. I'm surprised they managed to make her different enough from Katara and Azula, etc.

- The city reminded me of Bioshock Infinite. Buildings, cars, technology? No TV's though...is this the 1920's?

- Tenzin seems OK. His kids are annoying though, especially the little bald one who seems mentally disabled or something. Hope we don't see much of them.


Now the bad part....the sports. These two episodes had me with everything but the sports competition, especially since it took up like 20 minutes of the episode. I always hate watching sports in cartoons and this is no exception, there's no excitement watching it when everything is scripted. Sadly I know there's more of it, but I was bored out of my mind watching that bending match. Seriously, what were they thinking? Do people enjoy watching those bending matches for multiple episodes?


Overall the show seems fine so far, Korra's boobs are as distracting as I thought they would be, and I hate the sports stuff, but the rest is fine. I guess the masked man is the new evil character this season?

So sad to think Katara is the only one still alive and everyone else is dead.

To answer your question they are in the industrial revolution/ Steam punk era.
I think it was pretty bad ass. Also I actually enjoy the pro-bending matches and story. But after season 1 they do drop it completely.

[pharaohyami5000]

Aww, they really dropped pro-bending? I'm working on Spirit saga right now, so I'm sad to know now that went away. It was an appropriate training ground for Korra to work on her skills as she is the more aggressive Avatar for this series.

[CyberCubed]

Is it just me or does Korra feel more like a superhero show? This whole season feels like X-men to me, with people without powers fearing the "benders" just like how in X-men the humans fear mutants.

And that villain with the mask is just like Magneto.

[pharaohyami5000]

Pretty much, for the first book.

I kind of wish Books Air and Spirit switched in terms of villain(s) and Korra development, watching the 2nd book right now.

I kinda wished book air had more AIR XD

I always wanted to learn more about air-bending and the their culture...but Book Air didn't have much of that at all...

It had something infinitely better; exquisite build-up.

The culmination of the entire Book in one moment! And it was amazing. I mean, did you see the YumChunks reactions? It was like the Twilight Princess reveal trailer all over again.

If you really want to learn about Airbending culture then just rewatch Avatar...or Book 3 of Korra...

Avatar didn't really explore the air culture. A certain book called "Air" should have done that. XD

anyway...I don't think Book 1 for Korra was that good.....the first, let's say...5 episode were good but everything afterwards kinda felt weird.

[CyberCubed]

I wonder how Katara outlived all her friends, including even Aang. Aang was younger than Katara, how did he die first?

Also is Toph dead too? She was Aang's age so I don't see why she's also gone while Katara outlived everyone.

I believe the creators said that living in the iceberg messed Aang up...so he only lived to 60.

Zuko is alive actually and shows up in the third season.

I'm not sure if Toph is dead....I think she was mentioned to be alive in the third season also.....I think. (someone help me out here)

Really? That's almost unintentionally hilarious. Poor kid, and poor Katara.

Zuko and Toph are alive. Suki is dead and whatever friends they picked up later on died as well!

[plastroncafe]

Yeah, apparently being perpetually in the Avatar State for 100 years did a toll on Aang's body, so he dies at 66.

The only one confirmed dead, besides Aang, is Sokka.

[CyberCubed]

Its hard to believe the main protagonist of the series was killed off so early. What kind of message is this for children? You save the world, unite 4 nations, refuse to kill an evil man, get a girl....and then you die at age 66.

I wonder if any kids who grew up with Avatar cried their eyes out when they heard Aang died. I guess the message is to not get frozen in icebergs.

What, were you expecting Aang to still be around by this next series?

When the Avatar dies, a new one is born. That's how the cycle works.
