Does Avatar: The Last Airbender get better?

I mean it would make no sense for Katara to start falling for Zuko over Aang, and Zuko already had a girlfriend anyway. Man, did those crazy shippers really threaten the writers?

Please tell me people weren't that stupid.

In fandom's shipping can be found any where no matter what.

I understand people make ships for anything, (although to be honest, I don't see the appeal of it), but why would people get angry that Zuko/Katara didn't become canon?

Did people seriously believe that was going to happen? I mean it would be nonsensical.

So, CyberCubed, did Avatar get better?

Yes, it did. I thought a lot of the filler in Season 1 was slow and I wasn't very fond of Aang at first. It also took awhile for Katara and Sokka to become more than joke characters for Aang to play off and develop actual characters of their own

The series picked up during Season 2 and continued into Season 3. There are some oddities along the way but I am glad I watched it.

I'm also rather surprised that a show that started with almost no fanservice and Katara fully clothed in eskimo gear into a full blown anime-ish fanservice show for its female characters. All of a sudden boobs and midriff's everywhere! All we needed was an implied lesbian couple and we would have been all set. I kinda wanted it to be Azula and Ty Lee especially after seeing the fanart, hubba hubba.

I'm certainly surprised, considering how much he nitpicked and complained.

I didn't get the appeal in the pairing either, the only thing I can think of is cuz fan girls thought Zuko was hot or some thing, he had a pretty big fandom when the show was going

You'd be surprised how insane shippers can get,never heard of the show iCarly?

Good freakin Mike, those Sam x Freddie fans would not shut up for the life of me, I wasn't even in those forums. Just gave my opinion on the pairing and they flocked to me and flipped out, the horror

So I've watched the first 4 Season 2 episodes, and is it just me or is Korra getting really annoying this season? She's constantly talking back and arguing with everyone:

- She "fires" Tenzin as her trainer and talks about how he was useless and she doesn't need Airbending training
- She is angry with her father for not telling her he was banished
- She is angry with her mother for not telling her either
- She is angry with Mako for not giving her advice (and then she contradicts herself by saying he takes other peoples side when he does)

She also constantly acts like she's fed up with everything and everyone. Is she being written this way on purpose or is this just bad writing? Its starting to make her unlikeable.

Also there's something about her voice acting, while good, is really off-putting. Maybe because the way she talks and emphasizes her words like she's the boss of everyone.

I'm also not really digging this "spirits" storyline as much as Season 1. I think they should have stuck the X-men route and dealt with the benders vs non-benders a bit more.

She was extremely annoying but it was done on purpose.

yea Korra was pretty annoying this season...I think this is when I started to dislike her.

[plastroncafe]

It'll come as no shock that I think it's great Korra is finally calling people on their crap.

[CyberCubed]

Yeah I didn't mind Korra in Season 1, but in Season 2 she got really annoying for some reason. I don't like her constant arguing with everyone and she throws a fit whenever someone disagrees with her.

She doesn't stay like this, I hope? It's like feminism gone wrong.

I know right? Women having opinions! Thinking for themselves! Not be complacent when subjected to an unfair status quo!

The horrors!

Forget that every single one of her arguments are grounded and justified.
People she's trusted her entire life were lying to her because they didn't trust her. They couched it in terms of "protecting her" but if they really wanted to protect her they would have given her all the information.

Did you remember what I posed above? Her anger with Tenzin and the way she treated him was unforgivable. Her constantly complaining with Mako even when he's being supportive of her.

Yes she can be a little angry with her father, but she took it way too far. Whenever something doesn't go her way she not only lashed out, but she uses her strength as a weapon like she's laying down the law. Just because she's the Avatar doesn't mean she should enforce her will onto others.

She's teetering the line between becoming a dictator. She is no better than the Fire Lord or Azula.

I think Cybercube is simply suggesting instead of yelling at everyone maybe they should have had Korra actually do something about it or maybe just have yelling at people less.

Why the hell am I defending cybercube???? lmao

There was a point in Book 2 where I DESPISED Korra as a character.

Don't know how the creators made me go from extreme hate to extreme love in Book 3...

Have I reached that episode yet? I'm only up to episode 5 in Book 2 so far and I'm already annoyed with her. I can't imagine her getting much worse.

It's Episode 5, yes. She does something with Mako that nearly made me drop the show....
