Why did they decide to do the relationship drama this early on in the series

Some people are addicted to drama.

That seems like a good idea if they'd known that they were gonna get 4 seasons. With just one confirmed season, they couldn't end of such a depressing failure. Having to learn all the elements would've been a bit of a rehash of Aang, having to start with just airbending.

Losing her bending entirely, then not being able to use the normal techniques would've been more interesting. Maybe Amon, who was an actual energybender, could only limit the flow of ki in such a powerful bender. Thus, she's have to learn extreme precision as a replacement for her typical brute force style. Combustion bending could replace fire, as it focuses everything she has to a single blast. Sandbending rather than chunks of stone. Maybe just healing for water, not really sure. Basically explore the idea of an avatar that isn't an insanely powerful bender, but with the skill of thousands of years to finesse it

Rather than Wan and the Raava stuff, flash back to Kyoshi for contrast. She had the overwhelming power, but no fine control in earthbending

because aaron ehasz wasn't there anymore to stop that nonsense

The show was originally only planned for one season so they thought they needed to completely wrap up everything. Then they realized they were going to make more seasons to it became villain of the week and characters started acting out of place because their direction had to change to suit the plot.

Because Korra was fucking horny. She spent years training to be an Avatar and that left no room for shit like puberty. So she basically latched on to the first thing that her hormones responded to which is what all women respond to which is a rebellious bad boy who follows his own rules. People hate this relationship but its realistic as fuck.

While I think the Wan episode was one of the better ones of the series, they really should never have revealed the origin of the Avatar. Honestly not focusing on past Avatars like Yangchen was a big waste on Brykes part.
This is also true. He was the main ATLA writer that held the leash that kept Bryke in check.

>aaron ehsaz wasn't there anymore to stop that nonsense
>held the leash that kept Bryke in check.
Then why is Dragon Prince so chock full of ship nonsense?

Oh I’m not saying he isn’t a ship writer as well, I’m just saying he managed to keep Bryke from making the same decisions they made in LoK. Like all the daddy issue drama.

you can hate Dragon Prince all you like, i don't like the serie either, specially season 3 but the writing is leagues better than korra, you can clearly see aaron was the writing powerhouse behind avatar, TDP started great with some really good narrative dynamics, but the boring dyd world and some strange lost of momentum in the story(the characters getting on bizarre ships and the bad guy being actually just bad instead of a nuance character) end up making tdp fail, korra was just bad from the beginning, nothing there was interesting, funny or engaging, just the designs were original(the thing tdp lacked from the beginning, original concepts and a unique looking world)

Well hey now. Korra had good action scenes, which obviously is more props on the animators than the writers. I only continued watching it until the middle of season 2 for that.

exactly, don't forget that bryke wanted to make a dumb love triangle between ang, katara and male toph, Aaron stopped that making toph a girl
they end up getting their stupid love triangle on LOK and everyone hated it

>Aaron is the main guy behind Toph
I guess that’s why Bryke never seemed to like her.

yeah that's all Joaquim "Dr fight" Dos santos work
probably the only western animator that knows how to do cool fight scenes in animation

Dos santos was also responsable of changing the traditional styles of kung fu to that mma bending thing they did at the pro bending tournament, a bad idea in my opinion, bending looked so boring with that kick boxing shit

Because they knew from the original series that lonely shipfags are the main viewership. Shippers are pathetic.

Zutarians had Byke honestly believing they were good at writing romances.

Because it had literally nothing else going for it.

Same reason they had to do isolated villain arcs instead of going for some proper goal like ATLA had.

I didn’t mind it too much. It was a nice change of pace to see how bending styles evolved over the decades since ATLA. We still had Tenzin to keep the old styles going strong as well. Mother fucker carried most of the series with his fight scenes.

Having a relationship in a piece of fiction is not ship nonsense

This show was supposed to appeal to an older audience so I wouldn't be surprised if Nick specifically asked for a love triangle and romance subplot.

I have a feeling Nick almost immediately changed their mind on the whole older demographic thing and just let them do whatever for the other seasons.

>this early on
well for one thing, they didn't know if they were getting more seasons when writing this.

Why they even included relationship garbage with so much uncertainty of the show's future is beyond me. That they continued these bullshit love triangles into the next season kills me.

>Imagine Aaron writing legend of Korra

What sort of changes would have happened

Sokka would most likely have kids that would be supporting characters for one.

Because genre-shifts are bad. If you want to do drama. Do drama. Don't do comedy and then switch to drama mid-season.

Don't do Existential Horror and then switch to a slice-of-life Romance.

The reason being, your beginning should be the whole of the story in miniature. The beginning is the promise to the audience of more to come. Genre shifts break that promise.

i mean bending evolution or not if Tenzins carrying all the fighting scenes then that really doesnt reflect too well on the rest of the bending scenes in the show now does it
