Maybe whatever inevitable live action remake of Korra will have free reign to spread the plot over the like five seasons (minimum) it really needed to thoughtfully approach any of the difficult topics it raises. Also just bin 90% of season 2, including the ending where she loses touch with all her past lives. Replace it with a half season of her just hanging out with her polar bear dog. They did that polar bear dog dirty by the end compared to Appa.

Half of Season 2 is Tenzin and his siblings which owned and further proves the correct interpretation that Aang is a massive gently caress up and the introduction of critically important and beloved series mainstay, Varrick. And like 10% of it is that kind of cute flashback to the first avatar which was fine. Also Bolin's whole arc of being femdommed to near death. Season 2 is perfectly fine except all the times Korra is on screen. Even the stuff with her dad is kind of neat. It's also the only season where Mako had a reason to exist in the story at all, so kudos to them for them to realize they could make him a real character for a bit.

Season 2 is like three storylines that happen completely outside of each other and almost come across as the boys getting bored of each before ending it in a rad but really nonsensical way. I cannot overstate how loving into how it ended I was.

Varrick was amusing sometimes but the whole kooooky evil capitalist guy who mostly seemed to get redeemed because they had fun writing him kind of sucked, but Zhu Li can stay. Desna and Eska got done dirty, too, and it'd be cool if they got more screen time being something besides Evil Twins or generic background world leaders.

Babysitter Super Sleuth posted:The wandavision line would not have caught so much flack if it wasn’t for the fact that the same deeply incurious, unversed people getting knocked the gently caress over in wonder at a line that sounds like it came from a hallmark card hadn’t also spent the last year screaming for the bloody murder of Martin Scorsese for saying their cartoon punchman movies weren’t high cinema Also, after the last year I'm not gonna pass judgement on a Hallmark Card sentiment on grief hitting a little harder for some folks.

I really didn't like the end of Season 2, it felt dumb in a bad way. Giant Kaiju Dark Avatar Fight and Jinora astrally projecting herself were duuuuuuumb. And I was mostly fine with the giant robot in Season 4! Anyway, there's like 1.5 seasons of really good poo poo in Korra, but it's all in the back half.

Avatar (and I guess by extension Korra) is a show that by all accounts I should like, but I just kinda keep bouncing off a few episodes in. I remember catching a few episodes on Nickelodeon when it was first airing way back when and enjoying it, but I guess not enough to go outta my way to watch it. Everything I've seen of it has consistently been "yeah this is a good show I should watch" but it never works in practice. I dunno, it's weird.

Not certain, but I'm guessing was visiting Zion National Park, because I believe he's said he's visited it before, and that was what inspired Honest Hearts. He also probably thought the same thing most people think nowadays when they see that line used as a motivational phrase.

Right up until the end she felt kind of like one of those calm hitler memes. "I just want to unify the earth nation, is that so wrong, Avatar?" Meanwhile she's deporting anyone not ethnically pure, building labor camps and constructing a magical spirit nuke to use on other nations.

Actually she was "sending them to 're-education centers' so they can learn useful trade skills"! Bolin is such a massive rube when Mako would be a way better choice to be indoctrinated into a fascist regime when he was literally a cop.

I don't even think it's especially bad line for what it is, I just personally refuse to not make fun of people playing it up like world-shattering, revelatory poetry after they spent so long trying to insist that no, gently caress these old white guys who have devoted their lives to preserving unique voices in one of the most transient artistic mediums, THEY are the ones who know what real art is and how cinema can evoke deep emotion and reflection, and it's when captain america and bucky barnes share a longing glance that's precisely calculated by the disney marketing department to last just long enough to potentially read gay subtext into it without the risk of alienating homophobes with money.

Martin Scorcese has, personally, done more for uplifting the voices and careers of directors and creators of color than the entire disney corporation ever has in its nearly century long existence though both direct support and larger efforts like the world cinema project, so please understand that this is said with no cruelty: you have absolutely no loving idea what you are talking about.

It's understandable why Aang did what he did, and it ultimately bore fruit in Tenzin forming the Air Acolytes and carrying on airbending with his own family, but there were very real repercussions born from that decision and we get to see how it hosed up Bumi and Kya. It's a heavy storybeat that I think is actually handled with a lot of maturity. ...But oh wait never mind lol after season three thousands of airbenders are just bullshitted into existence, so Aang's sacrifices were entirely pointless and he was a deadbeat dad to 2/3rds of his kids for nothing!  BFC posted:Actually she was "sending them to 're-education centers' so they can learn useful trade skills"! Eh, I actually kinda like the storybeat that Bolin fell in with Earthbending Hitler because he's spent the last couple seasons being the butt of the joke or second fiddle, and now he's got a new power and a new purpose that gives him a sense of worth. Which as a result causes him to rationalize what Kuvira's doing.

Scorcese does cool poo poo for cinema but his whole "Marvel isn't Real Cinema" take (which to be fair he didn't give away for free) just put me instantly to sleep like anytime anyone adds Real to any form of artistic expression.

The "suddenly airbenders!!" plot point was weird but I guess they had already missed the window of a more natural reintroduction like finding a hidden enclave or just some randos who always had it because air nomads traveled far and wide and probably had secret kids sometimes.

The wandavision thing was more about how utterly pretentious the tweet was than anything else https://twitter.com/madhat31/status/1365773588586987522?s=20 I know hyperbole is a thing on the internet and this person probably didn't mean it literally, but it kinda deserved to have the piss taken out of it imo. Having said that, it is a drat good line. Just not "reverent gently caress" good. Re Korra chat, I read a comment that called it pure distilled liberalism, and at least as far as season one is concerned I'm inclined to agree. I remember everyone thought season one was leading to some pointed social commentary about class divides and how they would change the status quo, and then....the leader of the equalists got defeated and everything went back to "normal" with the normies being an underclass. I vaguely recall that the big red thread between all the villians of the show was that they wanted to change the status quo for the better through force instead of "working with the system for incremental change", which didn't really age well.

Of all of the ideologies Korra preports to explore, the idea that their idea of anarchist principles was ecofascist ancaps burns me very hard because it feels like they were trying to win a fight with one of them retroactively and did zero research on the actual subject.
