Say what you will about the show but we all had some fun while it was currently airing. 3nodding While I do believe its more than time for this forum to be packed away in the achieve till season two, I do wish to get a couple things off my chest that I have been kind of holding back on Gaia at least. I'll use spoiler tags just because wink
Characters:
Amon/Tarllock/Trolllock xd
Setting:
Overall:
Fandom/YOU:
Eh I just hope that season two is written much better and I'm glad that some of the writers of ATLAB will be returning as I think Bkrye are better at planning series and characters but not writing it all out. In fact I think some of my favorite esp of ATLAB weren't even written by them.
Characters:
I have to say that after re-watching the series three times now I really do not like Korra as character. To me its always a shame when the fandom can flesh out a character more than the creator(s). I really did dislike the whole Disneyesque heel face turn she pulled at the end.I know its kind of a catch-22 but I really hate when strong female characters fall apart over guys or lose their abilities. You are still YOU Korra why you gotta act like UGH.
Can't really say much about the other members of team Avatar as a whole I really do find them all kind of shallow and just not that fleshed out. They were almost just characterless version of the characters from other shows not just ATLAB. I still like Asami though and like the balance she kind of brought to the team. Really hope they DO use her a bit more.
Kind of wish Lin, Tenzin, and the air babies were actually less badass in hindsight as they were so awesome that it made Korra, Mako, and Bolin nearly useless. Its like why the hell is this show about these kids when it could just be Avatar the legend of LIN! Really its just said that the minor characters will probably be more memorable than the main ones.

OMGFS! I really think this is the first damn series I ever watched in where I love the bad guys a little more than the good guys. Kind of helps that you had ******** Steve Blum and DDB as the voice actors for these guys but hot damn good characters are good I think maybe Brkye writes like me! Like they must have totally wrote Korra from finale up cause there's just no way in hell Amon/Tarllock were so well done while the other main characters kind of lagged. Seriously best damn part of the series and sorry they did go out with a bang.
Setting:
They wasted a perfect good setting! Is it just me or do you feel a little cheated. Republic city is ******** awesome but I feel we never really got too see how awesome it really ways. Even with the game and such. Hopefully we see a bit more in season two but considering they blew it all to hell. EH it won't be the same even if it will be what six months later.
Overall:
It was kind of a let down and I can't really defend the shortcomings anymore. As some of you were right it was indeed way too rushed and wasn't thought out correctly. IMPO seems like the story and setting had more details than the actual characters and because the characters were soooooo very shallow the whole season suffered. Thus I'm kind of glad it got expanded as Korra as it was wouldn't had been a good legacy for ATLAB series. Better than that POS movie though.
Fandom/YOU:
At first you guys were cool and then the shipping came....I so wanted to kick a lot of you down a staircase in between the shipping wars and Asami bashing. However, then I discovered Tumblr and things got better. I do enjoy most of the memes, jokes, and headcaons. The fan art and one shot fan fics have been great too. So kudos. This really is a decent fandom to be in once I weeded out all the crazies. This really was a good series to discuss. I'll treasure our time.
