Cubed, stay away from Korra.

[DarkLightDragon]

Yeah, whatever problems he overly-scrutinized or made up for this show would only be worse should he get to Korra.

I know he will hate the romance that's for sure.....
I wouldn't blame him though....it's pretty bad.

[plastroncafe]

Nah, I predict he'll LOVE Korra, at least until Book 3.
Up until that point it's got more action than decent plot, and lacks nuance.

So it's really right up his alley.

Even though Book 1 has the most nuance in all of Avatar and Book 2 has the least Action in all of Avatar...

I do agree that Book 3 is the most...well-balanced!

[plastroncafe]

There was potential for a whole LOT of nuance, but it was dropped in favor of sports entertainment and love triangles.

Don't get me wrong, I love all the A Story Plot points from Book One and Two, but how they get the characters there leaves a bit to be desired.

The B Plot from Book Two are just...ugh. Just ugh. At least until we get Studio Mir back during the latter episodes of the season.

Book Three at least feels more like Avatar.

You make it seem as if Studio Mir's absence was what made the B plot in Book 2 suck. Granted they weren't great but I felt Tenzin's sub-plot along with the Asami/Varrick plot were executed brilliantly! It's just that they clashed with the A plot and weren't all that connected till the end...

I don't see why you feel the nuance was dropped, especially since it became much more complex and developed after the whole pro-bending thing, which btw, actually led to major events unlike in Book 2...

I couldn't disagree more.
Book Two's B Plot of

Spoiler:

Let's rebuild Mako's reputation at the expense of decent characterization for Asami and Bolin

was just painful to watch. Though...I do love both Varrick and Zhu Li like burning.

I think the nuance got dropped in Book One because

Spoiler:

the whole Equalist thing just goes no where. A legitimate socio-political imbalance was finally addressed and then just...left there, to spoil on the vine.

I mean look: Aang had a Bender Bias. He honestly believed that stripping one's bending made a person harmless. That it was their bending that made them a danger to themselves and others. That's an imbalance that spits in the face of all non-benders, including his brother in law and oldest son.

I see what they were trying to do with Amon, but it didn't live up to its potential.

[CyberCubed]

If I found a lot of the Season 1 filler in Avatar to be rather dull, would I like Korra more?

I honestly think Avatar started off too slowly. It didn't pick up until halfway through Season 1.

Considering how much you whined, nitpicked, and complained throughout this entire series, no you wouldn't like it.

Stay away from Korra.

[CyberCubed]

I dunno, Korra is more about action isn't it? Also Korra has huge boobs, I know she's an older teen and older than the Avatar cast, but what were they thinking giving her D-cup breasts?

I mean I've seen some pics of Korra online, how do you guys honestly watch a show with her chest that large? Its honestly distracting.

You kidding me? CyberCubed should review all our favorite shows!

Do Korra. It's more serialized, so you'll probably... maybe... possibly... slightly enjoy it!

Of course it is. Review it!

I don't know how else you wanted them to address the Equalist movement but it did lead to Republic City's first elected president being a non-bender. This was all because of Korra's help and honesty with the citizens!

Also don't see how you came to that conclusion about Mako seeing how both Bolin and Asami went through great psychological development in putting their trust in the right people and becoming more independent when struggling against adversity. We finally got to see Asami's vulnerable side and how that feeds into her relationship with Mako and him being the one to give up that relationship showed great character development for him as well! Bolin felt betrayed by everyone around him in the end and gained growth in finding reconciliation with his brother.

The only one who took stupid pills was Lin Beifong and she wasn't a major factor anyway...

Maybe because unlike you, we focus more on the story and action, not her chest.

Its hard to do that when that's part of her character design though.

No. No it is not.

Any simple-minded idiot would tell you otherwise cause they threw in one measly sport for 4 episodes and that somehow = more action...

It may be for you. But not me. And I'm pretty sure not for anyone else.

[CyberCubed]

I notice Korra has darker/brownish skin like Katara, is she supposed to be the great grandchild of Aang and Katara? Or is she not related to them at all?

I can't figure out whether you wanna look at boobs but feel great shame while doing it, or whether you don't wanna look at boobs at all.

Not that her boobs matter. Like you yourself said, they're a part of her, BUUUUT they're not her. C'mon now.
