- The Korra vs. Aang debate rages on! For some reason the media will not let Korra just fade away and continues to defend it. The latest defense is that Korra is annoying because... she's a brown woman?! Yeah, and it's GOOD that she's obnoxious because something something strong indigenous female hero or something.

"The latest defense is that Korra is annoying because... she's a brown woman?!"
What's you trying to say about us black people, CBR? Especially Black Women? Hmmmm, doesn't sound very progressive of you. 🤔
That’s what I was thinking minus the “us black people” cuz I’m not black.
“What you trying to say?”
Haven't you been told? The annoying borderline racist stereotype of the "sassy black woman" 20 years ago is now "black-coded" and not only positive, it's desirable.
But funny enough....Korra isn't based off Black's she's based off Eskimos given her culture and way of dress in cold climates
@@guillaumeb5511 Only when it's written by a black person. If two people, white and black, managed to write totally identical "Sassy black woman" characters, the white person would be slammed as a racist while the black person would have a dozen articles demanding they get nominated for a damn award.
@@barret-xiii it’s sad how true this is
I saw someone who said people were sexist for hating Korra but not Zuko, despite them both being assholes.
Zuko's father was a genocidal autocrat, who flame broiled his son's face, and was willing to kill him until his wife intervenes.
Korra grew up in a loving home.
These two are similar, but they came from different places, and Zuko grows so much more.
Not to mention the fact from Zuko’s point of view, his mother - the only person in his life (apart from Iroh) who showed him any love - abruptly absconded without reason (admittedly, the reason was to save Zuko from being killed by Ozai under Azulon’s orders, but IIRC he didn’t know that), meaning he was raised by his monster of a father who clearly favoured Azula, who herself was frequently malicious and abusive to Zuko, and who constantly outshone him in firebending, and didn’t hide that fact either.
And the fact that Zuko’s reason for trying to find Aang was to restore his personal honour, not to support his father’s ambitions for world-domination.
All things considered, Zuko turned out very well, even before his redemption arc. What’s Korra’s excuse?
Not to mention the fact that Zuko starts off as the antagonist, and yet by episode 3, we understand his motives and actually root for him to a certain extent regarding his feud with Admiral Zhao.
Korra, on the other hand, is the protagonist, and yet despite there being many opportunities to make her more likeable or at least tame her horrendous ego, the show passed them up, and the results speak for themselves.
There's always gotta be at least one limpd*ck soyboy and one radical feminist wahman pulling the "sexist" card whenever anyone dares to criticize female characters and protagonists.
Zuko was also the antagonist for the heroes, not THE hero. Having a bad guy be a jerk is way more palatable than the main hero. It's the same problem with the recent Xmen and Ms. Marvel titles, having your heroes acting like and sometimes worse than the villains is a big turn off.
Thank you. Zuko also had a mentor in Uncle Iroh. Tenzin was supposed to be Korea’s mentor but he had his own issues to deal with and was absent a lot.
I'd argue that the comparison is unfair to Korra. She was hidden away from the world by the white lotus who wanted to keep her safe and that's why she lacks a lot of important social skills that Aang had at a younger age. And I'd say Korra does not go through less growth than Zuko even though much of her growth happens in the second half of the series.
The original cast in ATLA were like actual trees or plants. They grew as the show went on. Korra's cast are like fake plastic plants left in the sun. Pretty at first, but as time goes on it just grates your nerves to look at, with no growth to their name.
“I’m the Avatar and you have to deal with it!”
No, I don’t think I will
Not my avatar
Get the nailgun. Then go to the Earth Kingdom or the Fire Nation and go search for the next Avatar there. Hope to God they won't be a useless twit.
Honestly, after that I kind of ditched the show.
The only reason they even care about Korra is because she is bi and had 1 scene where she held a girl’s hand. If that was never in the series, none of these harpies would promote, watch, or care about Korra one bit.
@@itbesilly4544 they'd still care because it a famous show where the main male character was replaced by a female.
Annoying characters are not good characters when they are the *MAIN* character.
That’s is terrible when the main character is supposed to be the best out of the other cast members.
you could pull that off if the main character learns not to be so arrogant and annoying. but these people think that's what a strong independent woman means. if i was a woman i'd be pissed.
Jar Jar Binks, however, was an exception. He had childlike innocence, had character development, and was smarter than he seemed. He could totally beat this wannabe Avatar in a duel, aided by the better Avatar Aang.
Any character can be enjoyed and liked regardless of what trait it has. The problem here is that she was written with said trait poorly and as such didn't cause an empathetic reaction with the show's core audience.
@@wesmcinerny4524 The same goes for Goku. ^^
“Rant incoming, fire appears on the screen”
Yup, she is a red head.
EVERYBODY! TAKE COVER! "Runs and jumps thru a window"
I just replaced that window. I have windows for y’all to jump through, and you pick the new one
At least it didn't cause my pc to reboot like it did once
.
It a relatively mild rant, compared to previous greeky rants where she really went off on them.
It was a very disappointing rant XD
Strong female character
Toph "am I a joke to you"
To woke people, seems like it. Because to them she's white despite being Asian.
That was my thought too!!!!!
And she's disabled too.
I see what you did there...

Lets spell "Toph Beifong"

American companies have forgotten how to make good content.
This is why you don't hire spoiled activists.
What about Canada, the UK and Ireland?
they havent forgotten. they are unwilling to make good content.
If you watched TLOK s3 and s4, you would know that's not true
They just need new blood with a mind to remove politics from entertainment unless if that's a central part of the movie
"indigenous" I don't think they know what that means, because without specificity everyone is indigenous. I've noticed a lot of people use indigenous as short hand for native american or whatever, but they forget white people are "indigenous" to europe and russia.
Yeah right?
Yeah, here in South East Asia, indigenous generally refers to the local tribes (compared to the more international ethnicities). So a local tribe in, say, Malaysia or Brunei or Indonesia could be described as 'indigenous' compared to the Malay or Local Chinese population.
But of course these sorts of people will think the US is the world, yeah? At least in South East Asia news, whenever they use indigenous they include the word 'tribe' to specify.
Apparently the morons are too stupid or lazy to actually look up what people are (Korra and the other water tribe would be Inuit) and go for the lazy PC answer. Kinda like how Slavs and Brits are just White.
The irony is that through most of the show Korra lives in Republic City in the United Republic, making her not indigenous in that context. She's an immigrant.
The SJWs totally see the rest of the world through the lense of the US society. Regarding Frozen and its depiction of the Sámi people I saw SJWs write about how "the Sámi have been oppressed by the Europeans". I just lost all my words and even now it's hard to find them. I'm an ethnic Finn from Finland so I get it I know more about the actual history of the various native peoples of Fenno-Scandia than some North American university student or whatever, but come on.
The Sámi are one of the OG Europeans who likely rode out the Ice Age in an unglaciated refugia *north* of the Scandinavian Ice Shield, as opposed to the Indo-Europeans and us Finno-Ugrians who rode it out south of the ice, in modern Ukraine/Russia. To disqualify them as Europeans just because they held onto the hunter-gatherer lifestyle and shamanism the longest is disrespectful and frankly bigoted - you're assuming "European" means "someone with perceived higher culture".
Remember when Aang was impatient and brash when learning how to Firebend but learned a lesson of a lifetime when he burned Katara? A whole episode with so much character development and affects him throughout the series. That's a complex well written character.
Korra does learn though. Pretty much everything that happens to her has lasting and permanent effects. From facing Amon the first time to loosing her bending, all of it has repercussions on her character.
@@datguy3581 Really. As it really doesn't doesn't seem like it.
@@datguy3581 she literally acts exactly the same as she did at the begining at the end all the things you mentioned only made her afraid and dukat from deep space 9 was afraid alot dosent meaned he ever learned anything from those moments hence why he was always the annoying villian he was
@@OmniBakeneko Then you should rewatch the show. She is rash and impulsive at first but then runs into trouble because of it. Her inability to focus or to follow Tenzin's instructions prevents her from being able to air bend. She has to accept his teachings and wisdom in order to learn the techniques and ideology. She learns to be more caucus and be smarter after Tarlok and Unulock manipulated her for their political agendas.
She has no fear until she sees Amon and sees a power far greater than hers. She has an intense fear of those who can hurt her which is present at different parts of the show. She has to learn to be more mature and calm as the avatar and that earns peoples respect. She learns that her teachers and elders often have more wisdom than she does and she learns to respect and listen to them. She suffers a lot and that helps her understand the suffering of others.
The climax of the series finale is her saving an enemy. That is the complete opposite of the Korra in episode 1 who was smashing gang members into shops.
@@datguy3581 All the change mentioned is there for a short while and then forgotten ans then remembered and then forgotten again. Like an on and off switch.
This title confused me but learning it was a CBR article I knew I was in for a treat 😁👍🏾
i used to like CBR. and then, outta nowhere, they turn into another useless clickbait machine.
@@chicostephenson Same!!!
Same here

CBR is doing more harm to the shows they’re trying to promote than good
Of course they would say that, cbr is the most annoying "fan" site there is.
They make a living off click bait titles. They’re worse than Watch Mojo.

Everyone likes the positive, humble, and kind friend(s) in their group.
It’s the same site that claims Anakin fell to the dark side because of ‘toxic masculinity’

it's only took them 7 years to admit it!
So an obnoxious character who doesn’t grow throughout an entire series is okay to be annoying. I hate western media.
Hang on, she does grow after seasons 2-3. She grows......big time.
@@teo-pc8yx season 4 korra is just depressed so dont go there
she did grow later on because she keeps getting her ass kicked
if you went past season 1...
@@pheonix_soldier yea but she got passed it
@@Nagalior I mean yea......but it did help her character a lot
REMEMBER THE TIME KORRA FORCED HERSELF ON A MAN WHO WAS ALREADY DATING SOMEONE ELSE BUT HE TRIED TO BACK OFF (kinda) AND SO KORRA THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT IDEA TO DATE HIS EXTREMELY NAIVE BROTHER TO GET BACK AT HIM?? AND THE FANBASE ONLY EVER TREATED MAKO LIKE CRAP FOR KINDA LIKING KORRA BACK BUT COMPLETELY LOOK OVER THE PART WHERE KORRA FORCES HERSELF ON A MAN AND THEN MANIPULATES HIS VULNERABLE BROTHER?
THANK YOU BRYKE VERY WOKE
You know what that was right? Them making a nasty stab at Zutara-shippers (you guys wanted a water/fire based relationship!! Here you go just as toxic as we said theirs would be!). And when those particular shippers actually _liked_ it they slapped them together thinking they weren't getting another season anyways so why not! When they got a new greenlight they started instantly ripping the "relationship" apart for useless drama.
In short, Bryke can't write romance for shit and if they don't have a large team of writers to editorialize them, you really _really_ can see that they barely know how to even write girls. (You can even see their bad romance writing in ATLA, and the side unthought about 'romances' actually come out as normal and healthy while the two main ones we end up with at the end....one sounds toxic as heck and the other is basically Aang wins a prize.)
Yea iv seen some shitty romance stuff but korra is pretty high up there. As not only is it painful to watch it actually damages characters and makes you hate them.
sorry, dont remember much about that show 😅😅
I also remember how when they did get together, Mako was trying to support and care for her, while Korra was being a "Grade A" &itch and constantly questioning all of his motives/advice. Part of me really didn't like Mako the first season because he was so wishy-washy with his relationships but he became one of my favorites after that. He had way more development than Korra ever did.
@@DU_hockeygirl40 I'm glad Mako and Korra broke up. Mako deserved better. Korra tried to get Mako to sacrifice his principles as a police officer and go behind the police chief's back, but he ended up telling his police chief what Korra was planning. And then she got mad at him for not lying for her--for not lying to the police chief, his boss--so she dumped him.
I don’t know why but it always seem that being a huge jerk makes a woman “strong”. I hate it.
Examples please
Makes me think of Yuna from the Video game Final Fantasy X. Kerc puts it so well. Quiet voice, small frame but a will that towers over Gagazets pike. She is also really fun in gameplay. I love here Aeons and here white magic too. That bit where she removes the reflect status effect of a certan boss causing to boss to attack himself is so dam funny. And in Dissdia 012 she is my second favorit character to play as. Beautiful transicion of a summoner fighting style from turn based gameplay to real time combat. Such elegance and beauty in here quiet strength.
Aqua (from Kingdom Hearts) is also pretty awsome. Yeah I like meek bad asses.
Korra is the epitome of the quote "
"How do you write women so well?
I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability."
Katara was also indigenous except she was a much better character. Korra however rarely takes into account her actions, lead to the villain building a giant cannon
And losing connection to all the past Avatars. Korra has to stand on her own, because "she don't need no man!"
@@Ihaveaglitch the multiple female avatars: Am I a joke to you?
Korra: haha, avatar cycle go boom!
I've seen Avatar Last Airbender about 4 times through. I'm struggling to get through Korra once, and it's this exact reason. Her character is just so annoying to me. If you want a strong female character, look at Toph. Or Suki. Toph was one of my absolute favorites. She was brash and 'boisterous' but I never found her annoying.
Saw it on its original run, I reached the end mainly because of inertia.
I think some of the villains are good in Korra.
Don't worry as the seasons go on the show in many aspects gets worse. On a technical level it's almost impressive.
then you'd like it when toph appears in korra
@@129das some are but then some had the worst reasons to be a villains in the first place
It's not nostalgia. Korra is actually a bad character and a bad Avatar. It was hard to watch the series knowing that she was the one that supposed to be the Avatar since she was more divisive than any other character. She's rude and very unlikable, besides being one of the weakest avatar that ever appeared in the series. Just to realize that her cockiness is what made her full of herself and because of this she lost all of her past Avatar lifes with Aang included. One thing I agree with Korra: "She's the worst Avatar ever."
While I do agree with you on your points I like to look at things differently if you take in the fact that she was trained by masters in the south pole she had no chance to grow because everything came to her and everyone praised her for her abilities from a very young age and that lead to her being who she is. While yes she is annoying I would not call her the worst avatar yes she makes mistakes but in the end figures it out albeit with alot of help but its better than running from a 100 year war, just saying.
I could have come up with a better sequel show to ATLA. With a retconned next generation cast with different names.
The only saving grace that the show had was that it had a lot of decent characters that had to hard carry Korra around and that Zaheer gave her a reality check so hard that she became a more or less decent character... 3 SEASONS LATE!
@@wesmcinerny4524 Yea I think many people could have come up with better ideas Korra is not perfect I still like Aang over Korra but she had potential just the writers really dropped the ball on this one.
I thought they were trying to make an Avatar opposite of Aang.
Aang is likable, polite, patient, fights around his opponents and the works.
Korra is rude, impatient, cocktail and fights directly. It even shows when she makes mistakes because of her impatience
MSM: Korra is annoying.
Me: You don't say.
Hmmm, yes this floor is made out of floor.
Oh, no.
Anyway.
Cactus juice is indeed the quenchiest
Nice Profile Picture.
@@Metamorphia_Enjoyer Thanks, it's from my favourite childhood show called Megas XLR
You know, Aang was pretty selfish too. When trouble came he had a tendency to lie or run away and hide. But he was generally such a sweet kid that you were willing to forgive him and watch him grow away from that.
Korra wasn't just selfish, she was arrogant and spoiled. And the fact that she had almost no redeeming qualities to keep audiences around for her growth.
There’s also the benefit of Aang only being twelve years old. And even then he’s still more mature in the first three episode than Korra is at the end of her series
Tbh I recently watched and finished korra for the first time the other day and she was annoying and probably one of the most annoying character of the show
Idk... Bolin gives her a run for her money
@@maggiekrist9227 tbh bolin is not as bad as korra ...korra is basically rey who pretty much ruined their chances of making a good avatar show cause of how she pretty much erased all the previous avatars
Me and my wife spent that entire series doing two things.
1. Going. “Wait, I recognize this, have we seen this? We have seen this episode before! I remember this part!”
Turns out we watched the entire thing before, forgot everything, and watched it again thinking we never saw it. Funny thing, after watching it twice I still can’t tell you what it’s about.
2. Going “oh look Kora had a problem, cried about it, then someone else came in a gave her the answer AGAIN! Seriously EVERY issue she faced she went pouty, then someone else came in with a special move for her, or told her what to do. Then there was no reflection or self enlightenment over it. She NEVER had to figure things out for herself or grow as a person!
The intro of her as a child yelling “I’m the Avatar!” is the exact same maturity she had by the end of the show.
That's eerily similar to my experience
I never watched it twice but I can't remember anything about it now,, I only have faint memory about the bigger plot. I'm still confused what's it's all about. Ultimately in the end I don't even know the point of the whole conflict
and related to that I literally doesn't understand the chara development in this series.. The growth of character feels like it's going everywhere and now where at the same time. In the end.
that "I'm the Avatar" really killed the hype for the show
Pretty much what I would say, I only watched it once but it was utter garbage so my mind deleted it from my brain XD I can tell you the ATLA plot line though XD
I went in excited to see more of the Avatar world, I watched the first season and lost interest. That was when the show first came out and I didn't go back to watch the rest. I can't even remember much besides some pieces of the animation and some scenes, and that's a vague memory.
The original show on the other hand? Binge watched that sucker at least four times from start to finish, I clearly remember a lot of the moments, the dialogues, the music, the fights... Even from the episodes I cared less about. Literally everything about AtLA is more memorable than its successor.
The whole plot is basically the villains damn near kill her she survives somehow time for a new season
"Disney ruined the sequel trilogy and that's a good thing!"
"Abby is the definition of 2020 and that's a good thing!"
"Cyberpunk 2077 has tons of bugs and that's a good thing!"
"The pandemic is deadly and that's a good thing!"
Now you see why their mindset is pure bs?
It's peak cope lmao
I mean what really grinds me about Korra the most is her relationship in the end. She faked liking Bolin to get close to a Mako, the Bolin thought she liked him, she kissed Mako, he dumped his girlfriend, Kora ended up with Mako, they broke up, then she dated Mako’s ex girlfriend. That is either really scummy 4D chess or Korea is a terrible human.
Scummy 4D chess played by a terrible, garbage human
no that's a straight up a terrible human being
And they're all still friends. I mean...sure. -_-
I hate to be a grammar not see but you put Korea instead of Kora in the final sentence and I can't stop giggling. Thank you I really needed a laugh today and good points as well.
@@GodOfOrphans
Ah yes, a "grammar not". I'll strive to do better.
Avatar: The Last Airbender was one of the greatest cartoons ever made. Korra was nothing but an exploitation of A:TLA in order to promote a feminist agenda.
Let's ignore anything having to do with LoK existed, as well as almost everything after that, like those two recent books that were failed attempts to make Kyoshi look perfect (sad, I know).
Finally someone said it
@@wesmcinerny4524 Wait. What? What did they do with Kyoshi?
there are some good things in it tho.
@@silverblade357 They wrote these two books about her recently that try to make her look flawless and overall similar to Korra. Overall , though, they were just boring. I don't recommend them.
When I was a young and idealistic fan fiction writer Korra made me give up on a series I had already started writing before LoK started and was very enthusiastic about. I hated the radical changes of the world that turned it from fantasy Asia to fantasy America, stealing the appeal and Westernizing something that didn't need it (honestly pretty imperialistic of the writers). Then I hated Korra as a character (and I'm a girl btw) and I couldn't forgive all her mess ups and how the entire world changed because of her yet somehow everything worked out and it was all okay and there was nothing to be mad at Korra for. It totally destroyed my story because now mine didn't even closely resemble the new canon. It stole my pre-teen passion from me and it was very upsetting.
Very few people see Legend Of Korra as canon tbh.
That was not Imperialistic, it's a fantasy setting and Republic City was full of people from the Fire Kingdom, which was already industrializing during the war.
@@lainiwakura1776 Western imperialism was a thing, or you could call it Manifest Destiny considering how Americanized LoK was.
@@lainiwakura1776 We still essentially see a world wide cultural change which makes no sense within the context of the story
Don't let it taint your own work - keep the original goodness in your heart, like a warm fireplace.
ER settled this debate years ago. Bottom line: Korra is shit and you gotta deal with it.

I liked LoK season 1, my problem was the arc villains were just too samey they're all well intentioned extremists out to destroy what they see as historic wrongs/oppression with the only spin being their abilities (Amon-bloodbender, Korra's uncle-spirit bending, Zaheer-airbender, Kuvira-metalbender). Power Rangers had more variety with their bad guys. Also the development for the side characters and antagonists just wasn't there, except my boi Bolin, he's awesome.
@@lordfrostwind3151 Except they weren't. Amon didn't really want Equality, he just wanted to rule Republic City unopposed by robbing everyone of their Bending.
Only Zaheer really believed in his Philosophy, and his Philosophy is garbage, because it gave rise to People like Kuvira, who pretty much turned into Earth-Hitler.
Korra - annoying through the entire series.
Ahsoka Tano - starts off annoying but eventually grows an matures into one of the best characters in recent history
Both Female characters but one is clearly different from the other here. Honestly just add Korra to the list of poorly written characters and let's move on.
Sadly i must agree with you. Korra could have been a better written character. I could just see the wasted potential throughout the whole series. Hell it seems sad that the abridged version of the avatar is better than the source ruclips.net/video/u9yy7WxzLgQ/видео.html

Yes. Just yes. Yes to all of this.
Korra was a little to much but the season 3 was good. Most people did not hate Korra that much, But it doesn't compare to "Avatar the Last Airbender" and also ruins the mythos of the world.
We should've gotten another season with Aang and the gang
They should do a series with everyone in the early years of their adult life
There’s a few comics that continue their adventures that still hold the spirit of A:TLA
@@Shocko26 A series that takes place 10-15 years after that final scene in ATLA would be great !

even then thats not really a good thing demomarcy doesn't work well on a large sacle
My major complaint of the show was every chance they had for some character growth for Korra, they immediately erased it 10 minutes later.
Spoilers below:
From her paralysis, to losing her avatar powers, she just overcame everything because the plot needed it.
What got me was the "romance".
Aang and Katara wasn't the sole focus of the show. It was hinted only partway through and only fulfilled in the later half.
But Korra? she has all these overdone relationships where she dates and dumps people for bullshit reasons before going out with the only other single mature woman in the entire cast because they just HAD to hit one more LGBT box apparently.
Like the other flaws were these but the show carried itself well enough as a whole. The romance you could cut out entirely and it would actually improve the show since the nonsense only hurt the characters.
She had a lot of development. She regresses a bit in the beginning of season 2 but that is the exception. All these events have lasting effects on her character or result in serious consequences. It takes her years to fully recover physically and mentally from Zaheer. Getting her powers back means she didn't learn as much and it had negative consequences when she returned to the water tribe. She is constantly struggling with her fear which effects her combat ability, air bending, and mental health.
@@datguy3581 She also regressed in the comics. Granted, I only ever read the first one, but the reason I never continued was because Korra had seemed to have snapped back to her season 1 personality and that was enough of that for me.
@@h.stryker5519 I'm not a huge fan of the first comic run. But the second one where Kuveera plays a big role is a lot better.
@@metazoxan2 The romance is one of the weakest elements of the show but I'd say it's not all bad. At least at first, it was semi realistic and it was not all portrayed in a good light. Much of that was intentional. Korra, Mako, and Asami weren't very mature. They were young and stupid. Season 2 purposefully destroyed Korra and Mako's relationship in a way that makes sense for the character. By the end of season 4, Korra was mature enough and stable enough for another relationship that just happened to be with a woman. Korra and Asami repaired their relationship in season 3 and got closer in season 4. It wasn't really romantic until the end. It's not supposed to be Aang and Katara where they slowly gained feeling for each other. I'd say Korra and Asami are closer to ATLA season 1 Aang and Katara. The romance all could've been written better but I don't think its as bad as people make it seem.
the fact all of Korra's friends were attracted to her made her so gross.
Whats worse is that she dated all of them.
@@timtam3730 That too!
@@timtam3730 she probably have them all the clap too
Lol
Growth? Korra? Sorry, friendo. You gotta pick one or the other. And then, suddenly LESBIANS!
I just now realized that I never paid any attention to Korra's character. She was just sort of there amidst all the cool steam-punk crap in season 1 and the sort of 30's sci-fi junk of season 4, both of which were awesome. That's how strong her character is, I couldn't be arsed to notice her.
I hate this "white" generalizations of people, their definition of a "white" person is the typical American. I would be thrown into that "white" generalization because no one would even think I'm Native American unless I went out to get a tan (I am very proud of that bronze God type tan I can get, it also makes others very jealous), so I would just get thrown into the "white" person generalization.
Do People also realize that there are white people that were born in Africa too? African Americans do not just mean people with dark skin: Charlize Theron was born in Africa and so was Sharlto Copley, so technically they are African American too. These guys are so extremely racist and the worst part is they can't even see it because of their own bias!
@Jacqueline Davis "Do they really think this will make us Natives feel good?" yes, there are an astounding amount of people who are exactly like that, their way of "fighting" homophobia is to bash straight people, their way of "fighting fatphobia is to bash skinny people and so on and so forth, its stupid and has made me lose hope and humanity multiple times
@Mister Master, Slapper of Assyes thats how fighting works, but there are so many ways and things to do if you want to help a group like these bessides being triggered by random passerby on the internet because they exist so I still feel terrible after seeing these kinds of people
@Mister Master, Slapper of Assthe "We will send millions of dollars in gender studies programs to Pakistan." has got to be the biggest waste of money in all of human history
@n. o. shows how dumb our goverment is with spending money
Stop it. You're making sense.
Oh yeah, sure, Aang was just simply a happy-go-lucky plucky character. Never mind how he was ostracized as a kid from his friends because he was the Avatar. Never mind how he finds out that he lost everyone he ever loved and cared about a hundred years ago in a violent genocide. Never mind how he has his one companion left from his childhood stolen by thieves and almost kills everyone in a blind rage. Never mind how he falls into a depression afterwards and proclaims that "Hope is a distraction". Never mind how he is tormented by Katara's injuries as a result of his brash firebending attempt. Never mind how he is pushed to kill the Fire Lord by everyone around him, which violates his deepest-held beliefs. Nooooooope, nothing to see here, he's "just a plucky character".
Let's instead focus on how deep and multifaced "I'm the Avatar, you gotta deal with it!" Korra is.
Korra's not BAD, but she isn't a good avatar. I mean the next avatar will only be able to talk to her now since she got all the others killed.
I actively refuse to take Korra's second season as canon.
Lol I pity the next avatar for having only Korra to ask for any wisdom.
@DaniRida Unless she does in book 3 then no. At the end of book two they're all still gone.
@DaniRida No. The other Avatars are still around in the spirit world but the special avatar connection is still broken
@@SpookySquid14 the Avatar spirits are ALIVE, they just can't be accessed as easy as before
The only thing characters like Korra are good for are to teach aspiring writers how NOT to write main protagonists for a long-form epic narrative.
Korra was yuck, every season was progressively worse than the last
Then you clearly havent watched the series
@@akiakos One can dislike a series even after having watched it in it's entirety you know.
Indeed, PROGRESSIVEly worse.
@@OmniBakeneko personally I think s3 and s4 is better than previous and s1 is 50/50 w the romance story. I just cant imagine Unalaq and kids being a better story than Zaheers chaos and Kuviras balance. But yeah you can have your opinion

Omg. Not this again.
She didn’t develop after season 2. Season 4 was a repeat of season 1 but with a giant robot. Season 3 was interesting because of the idea of airbenders coming back for odd reasons. Seasons of lore from the avatar world was destroyed in season 2. Catering to shippers with no real story set up for it. Toph’s family tree.
Did this writer forget how Aang (an airbender) was raised differently from Korra (a waterbender)? They come from two different backgrounds and time periods.
The entire world of the avatar (both shows) is non-white people. They are Asians and indigenous people. The author doesn’t understand majority of eastern values.
I watched the entire series and liked half of it. It’s had pros and cons. Season one was the better season of the entire show in my opinion.
CBR thinks brown woman are annoying? Wow. The term BIWOC is annoying. This woke article isn’t annoying.
Asian people aren’t indigenous?
i also prefer season 1
@@theevermind I don’t know anymore. People keep changing definitions. 🤷🏾♀️
If The Legend of Korra was shown first then the Last Air Bender I’m pretty sure people would still rag on korra even if they knew her firstsimply because her story arc and character is inferior to Aang’s
Why compare her to Aang? Aang was not *the* main character of ATLA. Katara, Sokka, Aang and Zuko were all main characters with roughly equal screentime and development and the best out of those 4 characters was clearly Zuko.
@@f_f_f_8142 good point but the while the main set Aang Katara Sokka Toph and Zuko have gotten fantastic story arcs are great characters in many level and all of them play a major part in the story going by the title alone it is easy to see who the main protagonist and focus of the story is the title of the legend of Korra is more blatant as to who the focus of the story is which is why I made the comparison.
@@f_f_f_8142 We'd compare the two because they have the same title and responsibility as each other. It's just that simple of pattern recognition.
Making Korra bi at the end is the start of the shipping craze, they gave in to fans so now these idiots believe they can get their ship canon by pushing it on the creator(s).

I just don't like how they ended the usual avatar cycle with Korra. If she could reconnect with Raava why not with her past lives?
Okay, so you know how if Korra dies in the avatar state the cycle is broken? Yeah when Zaheer poisoned her she DID technically die. She was just revived
@@middlelevelrucksack7693 Same thing happened with Aang after getting hit vy Azula's Lightning. Yet he managed to reconnect with his past lives. :/
I hope she's not the end all be all as far as the Avatar goes, because that would suck, big time.
@@tailedgates9 Actually that would be a good thing. The worst thing that can happen to The Last Airbender property is a threequel or a spin off series. Evidence 1: Avatar comic books, evidence 2: Legend of Korra, evidence 3 (incoming): Netflix adaptation.
@@mac1991seth I can understand that, but it just seems like such a nice and timeless story with a world that could be explored with a new avatar. I don't DESPISE Korra, but I wouldn't want the Avatar line to stop at her either...
I just started watching Legend of Korra... annoying. Truly the best way to describe her.
The character Asami Sato was a rather good female character. I liked her more than Korra...which is meant to be the main character.
Most of the characters were better than Korra
I think Bolin, Asami, and Jinora had the better character development. They down graded Mako.
Tenzin and Lin were the best characters
Korra isn't the most likable character at first but she gets much better as the show goes on
@@datguy3581 she is annoying as sin at first and becomes rey skywalker bland by the end not really much imrovement
I liked the series when I first watched it. However, I cannot go back and rewatch it, specifically because Korra is a very selfish character in the beginning. Granted her progression after the second season was interesting, mostly because the villains were so good in the third season.
Same here. Plus, the "wait guys, she was gay all along!" addition to the last episode came out of absolutely nowhere. Up until that point it was looking like korra was a protagonist that didn't need that kind of relationship, but they decided to pander, and throw the character development out the window.
The villains weren't "good" they were just "cool". Each had a special, unique ability and they were legendary (well, we've been told so). Their ideology was shite (unique, but shite) and they were winning battles just so the season has a story arc to tell.
@@mac1991seth yes, but I thought Zaheer was at least interesting, especially when compared to the dull villains of previous seasons, as well as the last season. Also I agree, the coolness was definitely a factor, especially the lava-bending , and interesting applications of airbending.
Same. After I read the first comic after the series ended and realized Korra had basically reverted to season 1 Korra, I realized I had no desire to continue with her story. And then I realized I had no desire to retread her story either. Except for some action scenes, I have no desire to rewatch and don't plan on doing so anytime soon.
@@MurdochCreates They tried to make Zaheer different but when I looked over the philosophy and gravitas, I found his ideology to be quite childish and naïve. Season 4 only proved it.
I've been watching the Tangled series on Disney+ (just finished season 1 last night) and I can't believe that Tangled is closer to A:TLA quality over the actual sequel to A:TLA...
Some how Disney, in 2017-2020 made a show where every character has flaws, they all have to work to overcome said flaws, nobody is annoying, men aren't treated like idiots, exception is Flyn but he's no different then he was in the movie so I let it slide most of the time. It's actually great so far.
Dragon Prince is alright but Full Metal Alchemist is probably the closest thing to Avatar in my opinion.
I'll take "Something stupid MSM would say for $1000"
Question is: "Korra being annoying is actually a good thing."
That's the Daily Double-Down!
Korra shouldn't have had trouble learning Wind. She should've had trouble learning Fire. Aang had trouble learning Earth because it was the opposite of wind.
I guess she had it easy because of her fiery Spirit?
But then....shouldn't she have trouble with Earth? It's the Element of Substance and Patience and Korra had very little of that in the first Season.
No he said Opposite to the characters personality, not their direct element. Most of her problems are opposite to Aang if anything.
It was lightly retconned in a comment by Tenzin I think that “The Avatar always has trouble with the Element spiritually opposite to them” or something to that effect.
Um, no. It was clearly stated in the A:TLAB universe that it was the ELEMENT opposite to them because of the bending style. Water fluid and calm vs Fire wild and chaotic. Earth steady and unyielding vs Air evasive and flowing.
The Elements and the Benders/Citizens of that Element were heavily based on martial arts that closely resembled them. Yes there was mixing as we saw with Iroh’s lightning blocking technique, things like mud, sand, and swamp bending, and some other stuff, but the style was always based on that Element’s art. Growing up as a Water Bender (and should NOT have been told she was the Avatar before 16) Korra would have learned the moves of Water Benders and if Katara did teach her at any point, she would have learned the North technique that suffered almost no outside influence (because Katara was the only living Southern bender besides Hama at this point) along with some tricks Katara picked up along the way. Being Aang’s teacher, wife and the mother of an Airbender, Katara would also know how close Air and Water were on the cycle and what their commonalities were. Korra definitely would have better luck with Air over Fire.
It was retconned and I think that is a good thing. It makes more sense that bending abilities would have more to do with personality and technique rather than just the opposite elements of the one the avatar started with.
@@datguy3581 it was retconned because the writters were shit and didn't give a crap about continuity.
I like Geeky's strong personality, having a strong personality is a charm. However, the key difference between someone who has a strong personality and is likable (Geeky) and someone who is unlikable (Korra even though I REALLY wanted to like her) is if they take it TOO far. Just like how jokester's take being a "Comedian" too far.

CBR is a complete joke. I had to start blocking their articles on my broswer because I was tired of "5 characters so and so can beat, and 5 they can't". Every single one of those was bullshit.
Wait until you see their Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure articles.
Korra tried to murder a judge because she didnt agree with his ruling
She is the Avatar Twitter deserves
The love triangle/square/whatever that was horrified me of what children would learn from watching Korra.
Korra is the worst protagonist and that’s a fact.
Nope Rey and Michael Burnham are worse.
Eh, there are characters that are worse. Aang is still way better than Korra, though.
I don't think she's the worst, but she was very much the prototype for characters like Rey and Mikey Spock, over emotional, self obsessed. Though at least Korra did actually have struggles and suffer failures.
Granted, Katara and especially Sokka could be a little full of themselves at times. But this idea of being arrogant because of having dark skin is insulting.
Those two were actually competent and likable though.
in season 2 she is literally the only person in the room that didnt know that Unalaq was a traitor. waiting for characters to catch up to what the audience already knows is textbook bad writing and only makes the character look like an idiot
In the show my favorite character was Asami and the fact that it seams like Korra went put of the way to destroy any attempt for Asami to have any relationship made me hate her and the fact they ended up in a relationship made me despise her even more.
They didn't end up in a relationship in the show. I watched the series, all they said was they are going to travel as friends. There was no kissing or even a hint of a same sex relationship. That was just shipping at its finest. All the end showed, was the 2 of them coming to terms with their selfish actions in the past, and wanting to get away not wanting to deal with relationships for a while. I mean they are basing this entire "relationship" thing on them holding hands for a second.

Imagine unironically saying your character being abrasive and annoying is a good thing
I love my Geeky rants like I like my Chilli, extra spicy!
Also yeah Korea was the biggest problem with her show (also all the inconsistency and half baked world building), and when your main character is like that, you got a big problem.
What Geeky says about the whole arrogance thing not being a thing in a lot of Eastern media is exactly why Bakugo from My Hero Academia is an interesting character. Like, he's powerful and skilled, sure, but he's such an arrogant asshole people dislike him in and out of universe.
People who actually know him know somewhere inside he's a genuinely heroic person, but look at that bit when the main characters were participating in that rescue exercise, and Bakugo was such an arrogant and unlikeable ass he got extremely poor marks from the 'victims'.
In comparison, a character like Endeavor is also an arrogant character, but in-universe people still like and admire him because he doesn't go around screaming about how awesome he is the way Bakugo does.
Bakugo is compelling because he could fall over the edge and become a villan at any moment. The delicate balancing act not only seems to fuel his physical strenth, but it's also a testament to his incredible will power. Korra is a straight up villian who does, in fact, take over the world with her jacked up morality. One of her greatest opponents is the president who constantly has to grapple with her ridiculous decisions.
@@Parcha64 The reason I mentioned Bakugo in particular is because of how he behaves and is treated both in and out of universe, and how it differs with the treatment of not just Endeavor but also other arrogant characters like Vegeta from the Dragonball series.
Vegeta is extremely prideful and arrogant, yes, but it's a very restrained arrogance. He'll talk down to an enemy, he'll mock and demean them, but he normally doesn't go around tooting his own horn. Likewise Endeavor doesn't go around boasting, and just obliterates whatever is standing in his way before moving on.
Both of them are treated with no small amount of awe and fear, rather than being described as annoying or a pain. In comparison, Bakugo has the respect of his friends, sure, but Joe Average on the street doesn't exactly have a reason to like him at all.
It's like if you met someone unpleasant, and the person's friend comes up and assures you, "He's actually pretty nice when you get to know him," you can retort, "But I don't want to know him. He's an asshole."
Arrogance is forgivable (it's basically self-confidence turned up to 11), but boasting generally isn't.
@@muhaoai4693 I got ya the first time. Just felt like adding how his unpalatable character (boasting, prejudice, envy etc.) Is a personal challenge for him that could easily become destrutive, but it's admirable that it doesn't. Endeavor is an interesting counterpart because his public persona is reserved, but he lashes out at his family in messed up ways. One might consider that worse than being overtly aggressive and arrogant. MHA actually does a great job discussing good PR vs. good deeds.
*So In conclusion:* Korra is still lame and no matter how woke society gets they can't elevate such a garbage tier character
"Eastern heroes are never arrogant!"
Luffy, Kamina, Natsu, Naruto, and Tidus say hi.
"Eastern heroes are always positive and smiling!"
Kenshiro, Kirito, Cloud, Squall, Guts, and Revy say hi.
"Arrogance isn't a thing in Water Tribe culture!"
Sokka says hi.
Amon is an interesting villain. Without him, The legend of Korra went to shit
I hated the whole twist villain thing they did with him, which just ruined everything.
@@timtam3730 hence why he should have been made the main villain of the series
It sucks being a Korra fan with literally everyone online saying "Avatar's better" like it's a goddamn competition.
All of us ATLA loved all the females in the original series. We loved Azula even though she's a psychopath. Most of us were only upset with Katara was for what she said to Sokka about their mom. As an older sibling, that hurt me and I felt for Sokka.
Korra was just annoying and egotistical that didn't learn until the 4th season. Ive said it once, ill say it again, Korra would've been way better had she never got her bending back until the end of season 2 (which needs rewriting). Having her only have Airbending and having to learn the true ways of airbending would've made her receiving her bending back way better.
This show was created by the people who says "Aang went on a rampage when someone took his bison" to defend That piece of S**t who gives death threat to that judge
Korra is trash, everyone knows it. Also what was that crap in the last episode about hehe lol im lesbian now and im running with my girlfriend
Pandering, it's called pandering!
Yeah, I thought making her a lesbian at the very end came out of nowhere. But there are Korra apologists who insist that there were signs of her growing affection for Asami throughout the show. To me they just seemed like good friends. But to people on Twitter, I guess good friends = lovers.
i actually didnt know it was supposed to be a girlfriend trip together thing at the end. i thought she just want some time off from everythin and just went on a trip with the only female friend she has.
@@lunarisaileron9383 That's what it seemed like to me too. But then I heard fans talking about how they're a couple now. And I think they are canonically a couple now in comics--I'm not sure. That's why I consider the relationship to be just thrown in there at the end. I saw no build-up to a romantic relationship, and the ending itself was ambiguous. They held hands. That's it. They could just be friends and hold hands.
Because, like the Star Wars shitquels, they didn't plan anything. That's why they killed off Amon, the best villain in Korra, because they thought it was going to last one season.
Having a character who isn't just perfect and does have some obvious character flaws (like the rest of us all do) can actually be refreshing if done right.
I gave Korra a lot of leniency due to the behind the scenes setbacks that interfered with making as flowing a narrative as ATLA. Honestly, for the most part she was never too much for me, and definitely showed a marked maturity by the end of the series.
Season 2 though, that first half...
That was too much, and it honestly felt regressive compared to her season 1 journey. That first half of season 2 is unfortunately the weakest portion of the weakest season.
No doubt about that. But hey, just because the entire runtime of the show was a productional nightmare shouldn't stop anyone to make unfair comparissions.
That was the real problem. She just magically resets to S1 Korra. And than falls for the S2 villain like nothing. Doesn't think back at what she did in S1 and stopped herself from falling for obvious things that didn't feel right. I was like what is this. If she has to screw up, and the Avatar souls have to be lost. It CANNOT be her fault.
@@mbob4337 I lament so greatly that Nickelodeon didn't just give them a full series from the get go to allow them a full series plan from the beginning. If they had known that, they could have left Korra still with only her air bending at the end of season 1.
She would already be at a low point right at the start of season 2, so they wouldn't have felt the need to suddenly regress her to being even more arrogant and petulant than she was when the series first began just so they could break her down to another low point.
They could have cut that whole crap out and just immediately launched into season 2 with Korra going on a spiritual journey of recovery, meeting Wan to learn the Avatar origin, and maybe getting her bending back along the way somehow.
So many possibilities if Nick had just given them a full series from the beginning so that they could keep that cliffhanger. I'm still so mad at Nickelodeon for royally screwing that up.
Personally, I love listening to Geeky Sparkles and Kneon. Your voices are great.
Korra was meh.
I honestly liked both Avatar the last airbender and Legend of Korra.
Aang was obnoxious and annoying too, at least for most of Book 1, and then off and on in Books 2 and 3. The difference between Aang and Kora is that Aang gradually matured over the course of his run as the Avatar, while Korra remained obnoxious and annoying for most of her Seasons while only maturing a little bit by the end. It really has very little (if at all) to do with race/ethnicity/gender/etc., and more to do with individual's personality, willingness to eventually be a functioning, well-mannered adult someday, and (in this case) their own, personal understanding of their duties and what is expected of them as their world's Avatar!
Let's be real, people only praise Avatar because it looks good among the other terrible Western cartoons. If it was an anime, it would barely be remembered nowadays.
Oh, and Korra is just bad.
The funny thing about anime is that it's litterally becaming more popular amongst the people at my school. I live in the South Pacific but litterally everyone in my grade watches anime, boys and girls.
These days I have absolutely zero interest in TLOK. Even back when it was airing, and I saw random viral threads on tumblr praising each new episode... I still didn't care all that much. It was the same praises every time: "ooh! Lesbian ship teasing!" "OOOH! PRETTY ANIMATION!" "OMG! I love Asami's 'baddest bitch in the room' look!" "AHHHHHH! KORRA'S MUSCLES!"
Almost nothing talking about moving character growth or epic story arcs. It was all about aesthetics and appearance. And being a sequel series, it had a similar plot surrounding the main character being the avatar and the responsibilities that come with it. I already saw that with ATLA! And by the end of the series... It was back to the aesthetics and virtue signaling, with more constant praising of the show's "lesbian representation".
I don't know which is worse. A show that has "representation" and feels the need to bring it up in-universe, or a fanbase that NEVER shuts up about it and uses it as a marketing ploy.
Korra doesn't bother me much. There's some problems I'm sure, but I think she's a decent successor in a fictional story that existed before her character. Makes sense since the show ended near the start of the SJW Woke rise which would explain that there were at least some people of talent during the shows run which CBR clearly lacks. Also Boruto as both a show & as a character were criticize and unlike Korra, he didn't have both the gender & race cards to use as a shield
I like boruto

she's an anti sue who fails at everything yet still comes out on top always because jinora or someone else bails her out AND SHE STILL STRUTS AROUND LIKE SHE WON.she never realizes that she got lucky and she should proably train more. she never acknowledges that she took the wrong side and hurt people she should have been helping and resolve to be less gullible. she never acknowledges that she mishandles a delicate situation and makes everything worse and resolve to be more diplomatic. and she makes the same mistakes over and over
aang made mistakes too but learned from them.
"She's an anti sue who fails at everything yet still comes out on top always because jinora or someone else bails her out AND SHE STILL STRUTS AROUND LIKE SHE WON."
That's what makes her a Mary Sue in my opinion. It's not the abnormal amount of skills she has or her power levels but the fact that the world bends over backwards to put her on top. That she's in the right because the world makes a sharp u-turn to provide her the victory.
In my opinion Korra isn't the worst thing in The Legend of Korra. Thanos snapping the past avatars out of existence was the worst thing in The Legend of Korra.
I live for Geeky going off on people, keep the rants coming honey!
Personally I like Korra but I get why people think she's annoying
That show was so boring 😴
First impressions are very important, especially for a show. If your character pops up and the first thing they say is, "I'm the Avatar and you have to deal with it!", that's a bad sign to most viewers.
Katara was an 'ingenious woman' , she was a loving woman with strong motherly instincts. She was also one of the most powerful waterbenders not only capable of turning rain into ice in a second and beating Azula but even able to bloodbend opponents to a degree that it was downright overpowered if wasn't for the fact she didn't like using it.
Congratulations, you proved how bad you are at writing characters when you can't even use the previous series as a template, like GOT all over again.
As a writer, I will say this...it’s okay to make a main character with glaring character flaws AS LONG AS they are treated as flaws and not just a strength of the character.
For example, Toph was an example of a strong female character who had some flaws. She was very independent at the beginning and didn’t like to rely on others because she didn’t want to appear as if she needed help. This was a flaw and they subsequently worked it out. Is she stil, sassy and a fan favorite? Yes. But that wouldn’t have been the case if she had appeared strong and cocky and not showed any moments of weakness or openness to others throughout its entirety.
Korra’s problems is that instead of addressing her flaws, the show dances around them. If she makes a mistake, it’s turned into a boon. If the causes a problems it’s turned into opportunities. If she appears unlikeable, it will be played off, by showing she isn’t the only one at fault. That’s why she is an unlikeable character.
now only that but she also flat gaslights people into apologizing like the time she got into a arguement with tenzen because she couldn't pass the airbending training
I am not against annoying characters, after all, good-written characters are defined by their flaws as much as their strenghts. But what I hated is how the show doesn't allow Korra any growth. The situation like this: "Korra does some dumb shit and blames someone else for it- Korra and other characters fix the situation- Korra kinda calmes down but still doesn't aknowledge her mistakes- the show treats it like it all actually was other character's fault and Korra was right al along- exactly the same thing happens in the next episode." Add edgy pseudo-deep antagonists and boring and mundane setting (compared to ATLA) and you get a show that I stopped watching after the first season.
Aang: I never want to be Avatar in the first place
Korra: I AM AVATAR!!!!! DEAL WITH IT BITCH!!!!!!!!!
I actually liked that show and they're doing a piss poor job defending it.
Aang showed growth, in his bending, his character, and it was literally him comming to terms with him being someone who's that important for the balance of the world. That is the whole point of the Avatar. Korra was just...bad. There was no growth in her character.
