I really like how the final battle took place inside of Kuviras (robots) head but peace only happened after Korra managed to get Kuvira out of there and into her (spirit) world. A very nice visual and audio depiction of a concept that they've struggled to show otherwise. Overall I'm happy with how Korra turned out despite a very poor start.

DrSunshine posted:I misread that as "postmodern" thread, instead of "postmortem", so I was thinking about long posts influenced by Derrida, Foucault and Lacan deconstructing the politics and symbolism of ATLA and LOK. LoK seems like an excellent topic for pomo as despite being supposedly undeniably designated the Avatar in the first instance Korra spends most of the show/her time A) not being the Avatar, B) outright failing to fulfill Avatar duties (as impressed on her by a structure while she) C) radically alters what our understanding of the Avatar is or what the Avatar is capable of or what the very structure of the 'world' around her is. It's more than 'Hero faces adversity and overcomes', it's an attack on the concept of the Avatar through demonstration. There's also the holy trinity of Avatar as God, Avatar as human and Avatar as individual going on throughout. namesake fucked around with this message at 22:47 on Dec 23, 2014 |

Yeah the water tribes at Aangs time were patriarchal as hell and was it actually canon that the air nomads were sexually segregated (I can't remember)? I think it was just accepted that the Avatar is the Avatar and can be and do almost anything they want. A third sex almost, above standard protocols and hierarchy.

I bet all the historians and archeologists and everyone interested in the past would absolutely hate Korra for losing the past life connection because she just destroyed a complete eyewitness historical record of the last 10,000 years from the perspective of someone who was probably right in the middle of the most exciting bits. I mean they wouldn't be able to ask them about random trivia but just to combined with other secondary sources and confirm the timeline: 'hey did Avatar Y know Queen X? Ah so X lived well before Z happened.' Korra you suck.

lDDQD posted:Dude, what?! The Boulder takes issue with that comment. Seriously AtLA was good. It had dodgy animation at points and bad plotting at points, some locations were boring but it was very rare for its weaknesses in any episode to overpower its strengths. The single episode characters were at the very least funny and there were enough little moments, looks and whole scenes with the reoccurring characters to properly characterise them, make you emotionally involved in the plot and make the whole thing good if not great. Unfortunately Korra seemed to reverse this trend especially at the critical moments that it could have all come together until the later series. namesake fucked around with this message at 22:23 on Dec 30, 2014 |
