Legend of Korra. Really was just the Star Wars prequels all over again. Overexplaining shit that doesn’t need to be explained in ways that make the world feel smaller and less interesting. Not to mention the severe :brainworms: which were present in ATLA as well but to a lesser extent.
That’s gotta be there weirdest criticism of korra I’ve ever seen. I hate it to but mostly because none of what happens makes any sense. Like, the fire nation is evil because they are taking very the world, which obviously benefits them. What was unalok’s goal in freeing the evil spirit?
Why is it a weird criticism? Fantasy stories’ sequels often suffer from this same problem. Writers failing to understand that mysteries are good and that allowing people to speculate and infer is okay. The biggest failing of Legend of Korra as a fantasy series is that very problem.
Of course it fails in many other ways as well, but I had to start somewhere, and that’s the part about it I dislike most.
Other than explaining where the avatar spirit came from, it didn’t explain much else in my opinion. It sorta retconned how bending came to be in humans and expanded on the spirit turtle a bit, but I don’t think we knew more answers to questions aside from those. It raises some weird questions of its own, like why is lava bending rare, why is platinum immune to metal bending, how could tarlok and amon bloodbend in the opposite lunar cycle to what was established, why is the world westernizing when there is no west to adapt to?
Whoever keeps greenlighting live action anime adaptations on Netflix needs to be stopped.
The bloated and unnecessary Hobbit film trilogy
