Korra is a bully.

*MrTMNT2012* · 09-26-2014, 04:35 PM

Correction: was a bully.

Well I didn't get that far yet, but in Season 2 she is a bully. She also threatened to kill that judge who sent her father to jail by having his head ripped off. Let's pretend he was legitimate judge and wasn't bribed, she has no right to threaten a public official.

I bet that little girl who threw a snowball at Korra's head saying, "Worst Avatar ever!" was the writers acknowledging the fanbase disliked Korra at that time.

*plastroncafe* · 09-26-2014, 04:48 PM

I would go so far as to say that the Avatar is, by definition, a bully.

*CyberCubed* · 09-26-2014, 04:58 PM

You know an, "evil" Avatar would actually make a good storyline, was that ever done? Someone becomes the Avatar but then abuses their power and tries to take over the world?

That's story material right there.

Not really possible if I recall the second half of season 2 correctly. But you'll see

No, because at the end of season 2 of Korra the Avatar cycle is broken. Whoops!!

No, because it's CyberCubed.

*XERO* · 09-26-2014, 09:44 PM

At the end of the series she turns to the Dark Side and becomes Darth Korra.

You make a persuasive argument.

Bolin dies due to cancer in Book 3!

*CyberCubed* · 09-26-2014, 11:56 PM

So I watched the "Spirits" 2-parter with the first Avatar, why isn't THIS a show instead? It honestly feels far more compelling than Korra has been so far, and I loved the art style.

Seeing the first Avatar and all those classic spirits was a nice touch. Although it was obvious a ripoff of Dragonball (the guy goes Super Saiyan and rides on a nimbus cloud like Goku), it was pretty good.

It is kinda sad, and a little hilarious, that every single Avatar fails at bringing peace to the world. I guess they never do succeed before they die.

*ssjup81* · 09-27-2014, 12:12 AM

You do know that Dragonball is based on the Chinese Journey to the West tale, right? Saiyuki is another series based on the story.

We told you the best episode was to come

This is probably universally accepted as the best episode/s in book 2. Many people have asked the same question as to why they do not do a spin off book of the first avatar. Actually I think someone on the board brought it up

So Avatar is kind of like Star Wars. Everytime there's a new story it can be about a new hero or new Avatar.

When the first Avatar came out nobody thought there would be a show of anyone other than Aang. Now Avatar seems like a franchise where they can make a series about virtually any other Avatar.

Of course Nick probably won't do it and I'm assuming Korra is the last series they're ever going to make, but maybe in terms of comics.

Leofan26 · 09-27-2014, 02:09 PM

I think Legend of Korra gets better as the series goes on, in my opinion books one and two were so and so while three was amazing compared them.

The characters introduced in book two were a bit of fun, Eska and forget that guy's name who helped with Asami's money and Bolin's movie for example.

Book one had a lot of issues, again my opinion. You've seen it already, the love triangle was a big one. They should of just focused on the characters and had a better way to creat the new Krew.

Book three is a lot of fun, still has it's fair kinks in it but yah. Can't wait till you get to that season.

Want me to give you the trailer for book four? Looks great

DarkLightDragon · 09-27-2014, 02:14 PM

The guy's name is Varrick by the way.

And he was arguably a better villain in Book 2 than the actual villain of that Season if only because he was less obvious as one.

*CyberCubed* · 09-27-2014, 05:06 PM

It was nice to see the Uncle again, I'm not sure how he wound up in the spirit world though. I thought only the Avatar could wind up there but now little kids and Uncle's can as well?

I have to admit the last part of this season picked up. I was rather bored of Bolin's movie subplot but if that makes him a hero I can see why they did it. Mako is just the dull straight-A hero who feels like he belongs in Voltron or some other 80's anime.

My biggest disappointment is Asami. I was actually all set to like her but even by the end of Season 2 she's still "just there" and she feels like she's always part of the background. She helps out from time to time of course, but it really feels like she has no reason to be part of the main cast. Its a shame because I thought she was going to become more interesting. Its also rather odd how she never shows jealousy to Korra, she only gets annoyed at Mako but keeps it to herself.

Aang's kids are messed up. How could 3 kids who grew up with the same parents all seem so different from one another?
