The Legend Of Korra

You know I get that Bryke don't want guns in Avatar because it sort of ruins the fun of bending, but the fucking mechs and robots become totally nonsensical as a result of this. Firearms are considerably, CONSIDERABLY more low-tech than mechs and robots. We had guns back in the fucking 15th century. How has this universe invented robots and mechs but not invented a gun yet?

Counter point: metalbending would mean that mechs are incredibly easy to invent since you just need a big suit that can move at the joints, firearms need a bit more figuring out

The only good thing to come out of LOK was Tenzin and his interactions with his family and friends. I'd watch a series where Tenzin is the main guy with Aang teaching him the air nomad ways, to him falling in love and breaking up with Lin and have a huge responsibility to keep the air nomads alive. Fuck Korra, Bolin, Asami and Mako, they're shitty forgetable characters

Werent the mechs made from Platinum and thus you cant metalbend them?

I didn't even watch Book 2. Book 1 was just that much of a letdown.

At the same time though the Fire Nation already has steam engines as of TLA, and explosives are established as a thing in the show's universe when Aang blows up the Air temple and kills god knows how many soldiers. It's absolutely retarded that they wouldn't have firearms by the time of Korra.

I wonder if that might still be on the table. The franchise has somehow managed to stick around this long, and god knows the original voice actors aren't doing anything (with the exception of Simmons obviously).

Three is actually pretty good.

Its okay the first time you watch it but once you understand that Zaheer (or however is written) is a literal anarchist that has no real plan after killing Korra, it becomes a bit too retared.

book 1 was pretty good BUT that was only because AMON was such as good villian with realistic motives.

Ofcourse they ruin even that by making him a bloodbender

And they never address his point, either.

right.

Everything just goes back to normal and never brought up again. Even through non-benders had a perfectly valid claim to be worried about benders taking advantage of them.

LOK really should've focused more on the politics

he expected people would pull together and take care of themselves. he ironically was too optimistic, completing the evil aang analogy

I'm surprised it took 50 years for people to start worrying about it, you would think that they'd be teaching chi-blocking and handing out those electroshock gloves in every city.

lol

they off-screen elected a nonbender president

Not really.
They really fucked up writing not knowing how many seasons they were getting. Team Avatar had no mileage. Fuck, remember when pro-bending was relevant?

chi-blocking was likely suppressed by bender rulers

Probably explains why there are no guns either, (((they))) don't want the non-powered people to be able to even the odds

The government of Republic city changed from a council of bending sages to a democratic one with a non-bending president because of Amon's movement.

Im honestly not clear on why people hate book 2 so much.
Yes it had the most boring villain, but it also introduced 2 of my favorite characters (Verrik, who was hilarious, and Eska, who was a lot more interesting than Opal and really wish had stuck around.)
Also getting to see more of the spirit world was fun.
Is it mostly Unalaq that people hate, or is there something else I'm missing?

eska was the tranny, right?

what is your interpretation of what went on during the finale?

He was pretty interesting as a comic relief character turned antagonist but throughout the rest of the show it was just
>DO THE THING xD

It shitted on the canon lore about how bending started, the purpose of the Avatar was annihilated once Korra opened the gates, it implied that the avatar has to be morally “good” instead of being a moderator in a conflict, and to this day nobody knows what the fuck Jinora did in the final fight.
