The problem is that it only has some moments, which is why it's not a worthy successor. Comprehensive lists of things I like and didn't. The did not like have way more explanation but I can also "defend" my reasons for the things I liked. I liked: The evolution of bending, and cool personal bending styles fight choreography that came with the above compelling villains that fit into the world and were threatening, but also different from ATLA villains the revival of the air nation into all kinds of different people organised pro bending sports having the avatar more often be a polarising figure more flying bison technical/industrial revolution Did I say I liked the villains yet? Goddamn they all deserve their own lines (apart from book 2 guy and I'll state why later): Amon and the Equalists Zaheer and the Red Lotus Kuvira and the Earth Empire I did not like: The drama/romance felt way to out of theme, over forced and out of place for the kind of show it was, none of it was organic or awkward in the good way (apart from actually the adults and their regrets and personal relations because of the past, that was good) Giant mountain tall mech. Technological and spirit world revolution combined do not explain that thing, it broke any sense of "wow this world feels like it could be real" it had before that point. Milo humor, the humor he added was the humor I was glad ATLA stopped with after a few episodes, and somehow the more "mature" show has more of it. Main characters were simply not as interesting in terms of personality and character growth, nothing like what a character like Sokka had, and nothing even close to Zuko. Korra falling of her high horse and then having to redeem herself was the only similar thing in the show, and I actually did like her character growth through the series, but the supporting cast was so meh (actually once again, adults like Lin and Tenzin had better character arcs than the actual team avatar in this show, for their family and the air nation respectively) The whole 2nd book was, ??? I liked the original civil war angle, but what happened to the spirits and the spirit world from book 2 onward, losing the weird and otherworldly aspect it had, spirits were just turned into just "funny looking humanoids". Then the dark avatar shit, BLACK EVIL GHOST AND WHITE GOOD GHOST thing as well, it was so weird and inconsistent with the themes of the show, power levels and trying to give a reason there was conflict in the world. The above point also ended up making the 2nd villain go from half interesting to a sad nothing character. Platinum as the one unbendable metal makes piss all sense. There's literally a hundred metallic elements (chemical elements in this sentence) that have a pure metal form; iron, gold, copper, aluminium, these can also all be pure metals, like what is your point avatar
@@Zwijger It's impossible to overstate how completely agree with your entire comment lol. Before now, I don't think I'd ever encountered so detailed a criticism on any story-I-like without there being at least something in it that I fervently disagreed with. That's wild lol. Even with my awe at the level of agreement notwithstanding, your comment is one hell of a quality articulate analysis of the text. Totally underrated. Would give an A+ if this were a lit class.
One thing that people misunderstood the ending of Season 1 was that when they made it, I didn’t know if they were gonna get a Season 2. So they wrote it in a way that would “end it” just in case Nickelodeon decided not to put in more money for another season.
@@undergalaxy775 if the creative team knew ahead of time that they were gonna be more than 2 seasons, they could’ve kept Korra losing 3/4 of her bending, which we then discover that Amon never really took away your bending. Just twisted your mind into “forgetting” how to bend. So season 2 could be Korra relearning Water, then Earth in Season 3 and finally Fire in season 4
I do know Asami was originally intended to be a villain, so I guess the ease was probably tied to that original intent? My favorite episode was "Out of the Past." (Probably just given my experience with it being my first episode of Korra that I had watched, and it being one wham moment after another for me. 😂)

I absolutely adore TLOK for its darker themes and scenes. Really fitting, it's amazing. Awesome video!!
While not as good as it’s predecessor, Korra definitely has its moments that make it as strong successor( IMO at least)
If you see it as a standalone show its at least watchabel but as a sequle to Avatar it is irredemable garbage
The problem is that it only has some moments, which is why it's not a worthy successor. Comprehensive lists of things I like and didn't. The did not like have way more explanation but I can also "defend" my reasons for the things I liked.
I liked:
The evolution of bending, and cool personal bending styles
fight choreography that came with the above
compelling villains that fit into the world and were threatening, but also different from ATLA villains
the revival of the air nation into all kinds of different people
organised pro bending sports
having the avatar more often be a polarising figure
more flying bison
technical/industrial revolution
Did I say I liked the villains yet? Goddamn they all deserve their own lines (apart from book 2 guy and I'll state why later):
Amon and the Equalists
Zaheer and the Red Lotus
Kuvira and the Earth Empire
I did not like:

Think about it though... does Operation Beifong have "That's rough buddy"?
Good point

Yeah I was aware. It does leave to a pretty messy overarching story but I'm mostly judging the episodes on their own

I mean Raava appearing in Vaatu was stated in "The beginnings" so that really wasn't an asspulls or anything
The rest was terrible
