You could do this with any popular franchise and it would succeed
I'm surprised there aren't more Avatar games. I thought zoomer nostalgia was already mainstream.
>no guns
>cant sell it to the biggest market (americans)
why bother
The franchise is cursed so it probably won't ever happen. I always wanted a game like this after I saw the last airbender and I don't even care if it's ubislop open world like Hogwarts legacy.
>cursed
I wouldn't call self sabotage a curse
I always thought jade empire would be a good basis for an avatar game.
The "sequel" was a fricking flop with a forced lesbian ending, and they can't even make a live adaptation right (the 2nd attempt at a live adaptation, and they still can't).
Face it, brother. ATLA was a frickin miracle that they could make it with a consistent story and animation. No one can make something like that again, ever.
Korra does not deserve the hate it gets
Yes it does. Imagine defending a series that took the previous series and almost invalidating the entire purpose of it.
>Spirits can be good but are also evil and some get angry and kidnap humans
Let's just open the spirit realm forever. What's the worst that could happen? Who knows because Korra killed the franchise.
>Korra is the new first avatar because she lost her connection to all the previous avatars
This was the absolute worst decision they made. They are still making those novels about the previous avatars but what's the point if they basically have no relevance to the future story?
whatever homosexual Korra is hot and I love cranking my dick to her so who cares what you think moron
I sincerely don't get what the frick they were thinking with spirits.
When spirits have free reign in the Wan two parter, we see that humanity would have been exterminated if not for the Lion Turtles. WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD WANT THESE c**tS BACK?!
That's not even getting into the blatant retconning of the avatar's origins.
They wanted to have a pro-immigration/pro-open borders message without thinking about the in universe consequences.
>when Korra asks them for help in Book 4, they go "nah, frick off", only further justifying Wan’s point even more
It was the writers attempt to deconstruct all the values of "traditionalism" The Last Airbender taught.
>Four separate nations
Now we have "Diversity Republic" where ALL can come! (Very obviously based on New York)
>Your past lives will guide you with their wisdom
Nah frick those old fuddy-duddies. Korra is better without them.
>Spirits have their own place and realm, we keep them separate.
That sounds like oppression to me. Open the flood gates and we'll mold society to fit with the spirits angry tantrums.
After so much time changed, the writers had to "right their wrongs" and correct themselves. It's not 2005 anymore.
>That sounds like oppression to me. Open the flood gates and we'll mold society to fit with the spirits angry tantrums.
That's literally, unironically, how Yu Yu Hakusho ended.
"Um actually, overall, across the entire population, Humans kill more Humans than Demons do (note: The only Demons that can get through the barrier are low rank ones) THAT MEANS THE BARRIER IS RACIST! MR KOENMA! TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!!!!!"
And so the series literally ends with the human world being completely 100% opened up to any Demon that wants to come over. You'll note that in this setting somewhere between many and most Demons eat humans, and the strongest human would be fodder to even a B class Demon, let alone A or S. You can't even rely on Yusuke doing anything about it, since he's perfectly fine with Demons killing and eating humans, he escorts some demons to the Human world in a previous chapter and just chills while they go off and eat some people.
And it's all presented as a completely happy co-existence ending where racism was defeated and everyone's living in harmony.
>What's the worst that could happen?
Nothing because now humans can bring the entire military industry into the spirit realm and dispense freedom if a spirit gets uppity and decides to kidnap a human for their face. Before that a human couldn't just go into the realm all willy nilly.
Seriously, you moan and groan about how shitty spirits are while forgetting how ridiculously fast the avatar world is industrializing and making those frickers a thing of the past.
The spirit world is fricking weird though since they can just do whatever since normal rules dont apply in their world.
It puts a pretty big stick in the wheel of industrialization and logistics of human society.
That stick gets blown apart by an A-10 warthog easily.
Korra was highly flawed but it's honestly better than most of the cartoons that have come out since. I would watch a third Avatar series even if I knew going in it would be Korra tier.
Korra is the definition of good intentions, poor execution
at the absolute best it deserves complete indifference.
it’s fanfiction
Korra deserves even more hate than it gets, and so do the producers. They went out of their way to dismantle everything good about bending, the setting, and the avatar as a role within the universe, replacing it all with NOTHING.
It was entirely unnecessary. They were just mad fans loved ATLA and wanted to spite them.
>They were just mad fans loved ATLA and wanted to spite them.
Bryke and DiMartino wanted to prove they could make a show without Ehasz tempering or changing their shitty ideas, and they failed.
Genius requires tempering.
>Jay Z/Kanye
Without Jay Z dunking on this fricking nerd Black person, he got too big for his britches and ran for president because all he heard was fanboys chugging his cum.
>Hideo Kojima/Tomokazu Fukushima
This fricking chink writes like a straight up dweeby fanfic author EG MGS4 and Deaths stranding but with some temperance and rejection he made MGS2+3, some of the best action games of all time.
Those are the only two I can think of that really exemplify this idea
George Lucas needed some people on the prequels that were willing to actually respect him enough to tell him to frick off with some of his autism (or to direct for him because he didn't want to).
Carmack and Romero.
You cretins are all mentally unstable. You belong into the same basket as the subhuman scum who still whine about DMC and the nazis that got upset over The Last Jedi.
Truth hurts, huh?
oh boy he fuming
Yeah, I bet you are.
Eh, you're not mentally and adult so you'd never understand; there's really no point in explaining it to you.
Imagine liking star wars 8 or not being a nazi, holy shit how embarrassing.
>It was entirely unnecessary. They were just mad fans loved ATLA and wanted to spite them.
Nah.
The creators wanted to make something different, like a Noir story, but they were getting pushed to do another Avatar, so they decided to combine the ideas. And in doing so we lost all the beauty of the original setting.
It was incompetence not maliciousness.
Visually it's entertaining, the fights are animated very well, but if you try paying attention to the story or dialogue you'll get brain damage
You're right it deserves more
Genuine mental illness. Gas chambers would be too merciful for morons like you.
But gas chambers with wooden doors? this is important
My thoughts exactly.
Look at this shit
When you write this much about something you "hate" and you atr not a paid journalist; it's time to seek professional help.
>nooooo, you shouldn’t be actually discussing things earnestly on a forum site!!!
Go back.
You’re right, it deserves more. Korra made the mistake of trying to cover more mature themes and way more nuanced political topics than ATLA but does it with a fraction of the maturity and grace that ATLA had. The Equalists from the first book are probably the worst case. We see Mako work a job as a bending gang member, as a pro bender and as a lightning wielder in a factory. Mako and Bolin are dirt poor, but these are all jobs that only a bender could do. If Mako couldn't bend, him and his brother would have starved to death AGES ago. That is a symptom of an unfair society, right? But Korra (the show. also the character, but it's a bigger problem with the show) seems so unconcerned with that. The Equalists might have a point but aaaauuuugh theyre mean 🙁 and they’re lead by a bending hypocrite so we never have to listen to any of their actual grievances. It is such a childish and frustrating way to cap off such a potentially interesting conflict.
Meanwhile, with ATLA and it's much simpler "there's an evil empire" plot, you get to see how they stifle foreign cultures, erode their own non-imperialist culture, justify their expansionism and everything. The evil empire of ATLA has significantly more depth than the nuanced Equalists, which is honestly just a symptom of how little time everything tends to get in Korra. Like okay cool we have the Equalists, then ten episodes later they're gone forever (same with the Red Lotus). So little time is given to develop the factions, and then the precious little time available is squandered too. Both of those concepts honestly deserved as much time as the Fire Nation at MINIMUM for how complicated they can get when taken to their limit, but neither is ever taken past their surface, really.
Korra is the kind of show just reinforces to me that a piece of media touching upon serious topics doesn’t mean diddly squat if the technical writing doesn’t meaningfully explore said topics to begin with.
It always frustrates me to see morons try to prop Korra out as having more "mature" themes than ATLA when the show does a piss-poor job at actually exploring that. What the hell happened to taking the execution of something into concept when evaluating a show instead of just giving a show a pass for TRYING to tackle these ideas?
It's not often that an actual point is made about Korra. Let's ass unto it.
The struggle and drama of every other character revolves around a personal issue with a paternal sort of authority. It's repetitive but let's roll with it, do different characters explore different paths for resolving their daddy problems? No. The only recourse for all of them was rebellion and then casting away the shackles of oppression. One pathos to rule them all.
Korra against everyone else basically, even the fans. Tenzin against his father's shadow. Lin against her mother's severity. Bumi and Kya against their parent's expectations. Amon against his abusive father. Asami also. Zaheer against the state. The new airbenders against Tenzin. It's childish and juvenile and this is the scope of the character drama, it's reason for the character's sufferings.
In opposition within our dear atla cartoon made for 13yo kids with burp jokes and "bwamp bwamp" sounds effects.
This war which goes on in the background shows its consequences in realistic ways. Almost every episode's trouble-of-the-week revolves around either poverty, homelessness, lawless extortion, loss of dignity, betrayal to avoid the fire gestapo, occupation and indoctrination, loved one being conscripted or dead, prisoners of war or revenge or guilt. We are spared the nasty details of such wartime activities but they are all over the episodes, they're not implied so when Aang says that "this suffering is his fault and he let the world down" it means something. This is the famous maturity people always point to.
One of my personal favorite episodes was the the Headband. Sure, it gets some flack tossed at it for basically being a parody of Footloose but I really liked how they explored the daily lives of the Fire Nation and how their propaganda extends to even their education systems, right down to claiming that the Air Nomads had a personal army when Aang, the actual Air Nomad, disproves that obvious bullshit.
Plus it was fun to see Aang unintentionally woo women.
On Ji is probably the most underrated Avatar girl.
For me, it’s Meng.
My favorite parts are the stupid little animations Aang often has during the downtime scenes. They breath life into the scenes especially because the focus isn't put on them.
Bending was so much better in TLA because they actually did martial arts moves and shit to bend, where as in Korra it was just standard punches and kicks
Something infuriating is how they never even attempt to reconcile it.
Lightning was supposed to be the absolute pinnacle of firebending achievement, and a grand total of 3 people ever pull it off, none of whom are main protagonists.
Then Korra comes round and it's literally industrialised.
It's not as if you can't do anything with it, which is even more annoying.
Why not have a plot point about unqualified firebenders injuring or even killing themselves trying it, to further tie into the consequences of the industrial revolution?

Childhood is thinking that Zuko was the cool one. Adulthood is realizing that Aang was the true chad all along (while also appreciating his and Zuko’s respective growth and roles as foils)
Unironically true. I watched it again a few months ago for the first time as an adult to show my girlfriend who had never seen it and appreciated Aang way more than I used to. He's just a really good, fully-realized character with a lot of depth and growth. The show in general does a really good job of making each "representative" character feel like they embody the good and bad traits of their element, but grow to overcome the bad traits through learning from the others.
>The show in general does a really good job of making each "representative" character feel like they embody the good and bad traits of their element, but grow to overcome the bad traits through learning from the others.
I really appreciated how they showed this in the way that they fight too. With Aang, it’s pretty obvious because he’s the Avatar but then you have instances like Zuko incorporating Waterbending techniques in his fight with Azula and Katara taking on an Earthbending stance to break apart Hama’s water blast head-on, which shocks the shit out of her.
?si=3y7VmXCr7bZS0eEN (3:36)
Everyone knows that Sokka is the true chad of the show.
This.
I went into the show expecting to like Aang, and by the end of it I enjoyed him and I even somewhat liked Zuko. But Sokka was absolutely the top dog character. And the fact the show had absolutely no qualms about him properly being in a relationship with Suki (none of the "They'll get together and have one kiss at the end" type stuff MC's get) was great.
Sokka was the best.
Korra deserves all the hate and criticism it gets. On top of all that, Korra would even deserve it if you'd make up some bullshit on the spot. The show wasn't just unnecessary, but it was also tasteless towards it's predecessor and it had horrible, horrible character design and dialogues (except most villains, they were fine).
nah it definitely does deserve it, there were good bits in it, good fights at times, a few good characters, and a few good moments, but over all it was bad.
Korra as a series is the definition of missed potential. The main thing that really hurts it overall is a lack of a cohesive vision. Other guy above me already made some good points but I’ll reiterate what they said: ATLA had a very simple evil empire story but they used that concept to its full advantage to explore the effects of colonialism, how it stifles out non-colonialist prospects, propaganda, the effects on other nations, etc…
By contrast, Korra tries to tackle multiple political ideologies (all the while being on the whim of a constantly flaky copyright holder, thanks Nick) while never having the time to properly explore/flesh out said ideologies. This results in the show feeling so much more artificial in regards to its conflicts whenever I rewatch it, with a lot of the main lessons basically boiling down to "uphold the status quo" in a way that shows the writers’ neoliberal mindset. And even beyond that, besides Korra, Lin, Tenzin, and a few scattered others, a lot of the cast doesn’t feel nearly as fleshed out or organic in their writing compared to what came before in ATLA. Bolin is a prime example, being involved in several scattered plotlines (love triangle, the civil war propaganda/relationship with Eska, getting into a relationship with Opal/being a lavabender, getting wrapped up in Kuvira’s new order) yet none of these connect cohesively.
And when the show DOES focus on its character drama, which was one of ATLA’s strongest points, it’ll then eventually toss that away just to focus on its shallow politics, which is a goddamn shame. I don’t entirely hate Korra but I hate that it could’ve been something more and it just didn’t get to that point.
yes it fricking does
Sup autist
This fandom is weirdly misogynistic. There's no rhyme or reason to their behavior.
how so, every female atla character is loved
t. zoomer. The fandom fricking loved the idea of brown muscle tomboy waifu when the teaser first dropped, its the execution of Korra that soured them on her
wrong
The only 2 thing I can think of that ATLK has over ATLA is villains. Everything is a step down. Well, Korra and Jinorah are pretty hot and we've got tons of porn of them so that's a plus, but they'll never beat the sex goddesses in the original show.
Korra had THE DARK AVATAR as a villain.
Unalaq and Vaatu were always their weakest villains. The show even recognized this and made fun of them in their recap episode. I mostly was talking about Amon, Zaheer, and Kuvira.
just because the writers call attention to it in some meta way does not retroactively make it ok
I'm just saying that 1 out of 4 isn't so bad. All of them had more depth than Ozai anyway.
Ozai didn’t need depth to be effective. He’s the embodiment of the Fire Nation’s imperialistic values and how their culture is built off of their perception of firebending as a projection of strength and supremacy. ATLA even makes a point to show how Ozai, like any other human being, wasn’t inherently born a monster; he was molded into being one. But that doesn’t take away from how destructive his actions were overall. He abuses every member of his family individually, controls them as a system/extension of his will, inflicts his family’s propaganda onto the education system of the Fire Nation, rewriting history with ease since no one is around to actually contest that, etc…
His imperialistic values even negatively affects his own nation; funneling creative endeavors into prolonging the war, ruining the local economy with industrialization, reinforcing conformity within roles, and more. Hell, his own ideology even comes back to bite him in the ass in the show’s ending because when his bending gets taken away, he’s shown to be completely and utterly powerless in comparison to his much more capable family members in spite of being the strongest firebender.
Ozai by himself isn’t the deepest villain but his actions/ideology add so much depth to the world of ATLA that he’s incredibly effective in his role as the overarching antagonist. Plus you can’t deny that him praying to the gods in gratitude for bringing him Aang is kino as hell.
What especially makes Ozai as a villain interesting is how he’s used in context with Aang’s conflict because he’s so simple and straightforward. Everyone, from his friends to the previous Avatars, all see him as an irredeemable monster (for good reason), calling for Aang to kill him but he still refuses to do so. He isn’t someone that Aang can just reason with, he has to confront Ozai and his ideology head-on.
There’s a reason why the Last Airbender is a sub-title: Aang is literally the only one alive that can carry out the values of his long dead people and he knows that. It’s something he internally struggles with quite a bit and for good reason. He has to prove that their way of life was valuable and deserves to exist, even if that means not killing someone who completely deserves it. Someone who’s in complete opposition to his people’s values and believed that they deserved to die for it. People like to meme about heroes not killing the villains and I agree that in some cases that it can be especially egregious, but here, it makes perfect sense. This isn’t just a standard final battle between the hero and villain, it’s a battle of ideals, which Aang wins. I do believe that the show could’ve definitely fitted in more foreshadowing in regards to the Lion Turtles and energybending but I still feel that the ending was pretty satisfying.
Everything about that is fine, absolutely fine. Except, as you say, it's a lame dues ex machina twist and reads a lot less like "Aang is preserving the beliefs of his people and proving they can exist", and a lot more like "The MC gets a get-out-jail-free-card asspulled to him at the very last second with zero setup or explanation".
Honestly, I don't really understand why Ozai couldn't have just been imprisoned anyway. He's a very strong Firebender, sure, but outside the comet he's just a single dude. They can imprison other firebenders, they can imprison him.
he still has supporters. If the only thing stopping him is a prison and the avatar it's a simple enough task to rescue him and start plotting ways to defeat the avatar, even if the later wouldn't necessarily succeed.
Post-war tla leaves a lot to be desired as a whole if we're being honest
>Post-war tla
Don't remind me of the forklifts
Lion Turtles is just one of the ass-pulls in the ending. There's also the magic rock that returns the avatar state to Aang.
Bryke in general can't write satisfying endings without ass-pulls or adding something in that releases all the tension like a wet fart out onto the rest of the story. It's one of the main reasons why Korra was so bad: ATLA only had one ending, Korra had 3-4 of them and they were all shit.
Seeing Korra lose for once and end up in a wheelchair was satisfying.
Yeah, season 3 was the only one written where they knew they were getting another season afterwards, and it's no great surprise it's the best one with the least "wtf was that" for an ending.
The writers kind of trapped themselves in a corner with the Lion Turtle. On one hand, they didn't want to have Aang HAVE to compromise his morals by killing the bad guy. Because standing up for what you believe in and what you know is right is an incredibly based message. But on the other hand, they have to do that by pulling a giant turtle out of their ass because how the frick else do you stop Ozai?
It would have been better if there was more build-up and, instead of magically sleepwalking to the turtle, Aang ACTIVELY took a risk by going off to seek the knowledge on his own. Maybe he sees a hint of it in the Desert Library, asks the Guru about it later, talks with all of the Avatars and finds ONE that supports him and gives the last piece he needs to know how to find the secret. It would be a reward for him doing what he does best: thinking outside of the box and putting in effort to find the best solution without having to compromise.
There was meant to be a 4th book, wasn't there?
Would have been kino to have a 4th book for Air. "But Aang already knows Air!" yeah and now he has to learn how to bring it back to the world. Defending Airbending principles in a way that lets him defeat Ozai without killing him. Although, honestly, if you're just gonna lock the guy up for life, it's not really a big difference.
>they have to do that by pulling a giant turtle out of their ass because how the frick else do you stop Ozai?
Easy.
>fight happens just like before all the way to Aang earthbending Ozai's limbs
>instead of ching chong earth lion energy bend sugoi tbh attack, out jumps Ty Lee as Team Avatar's secret weapon and chi blocks Ozai
>result is still the same, Ozai can't bend, but his imprisonment is now more restrictive to prevent him from bending, he can't even firebend with his breath anymore.
>Giving the pivotal moment of the climax of the entire show to fricking Ty Lee
>Her pressure points can now permanently disable bending
Would have been even worse
Yea that's actually an amazingly good take on ozai. I'm not the anon in question but I guess I didn't give him enough credit. he really does serve well as aangs foil.
>They can imprison other firebenders, they can imprison him.
Some other guy posted it but yea an Ozai faction would exist, and he's escape. Without his bending, his political usefulness is greatly reduced. And Azula is schizo, but that doesn't stop her from forming a cult and escaping prison Ozai with full bending, only a matter of time before loyalists break him out and try to restore him. Without his bending, he's just not as useful to them or anyone, not even his daughter takes him seriously at that point and instead decides to groom zuko into her ideal firelord.
Although that could also be because he left her hanging at the end when he became the phoenix king.
>Comic garbage
No. I've seen what's in the comics. I refuse to consider them in my headcanon at all. Not even for a second.
>Oh yeah, Ozai would stand there and look on in mute shock as Ursa mocked him, belittled him and tore him to shreds
>That's her girlboss moment, and he can only gape and accept it, because IT'S ALL TRUE!!!!
The only reason I don't consider the comics canon is that the author broke up Zuko and Mai so that he could push his strange Zuko and Suki ship. It's a shame too because what the comic did with Azula was pretty kino, as well as the reasoning behind establishing Republic City.
>so that he could push his strange Zuko and Suki ship.
What in the frick? She's Sokka's girl though
you will enjoy Azukino
I dropped the show after the killed off Amon. I already knew the quality would not recover after that decision.
There were some cool moments after season 1. You missed out on the airbender Al Qaeda and earthbending Hitler. Also the conflict between the North and South poles that was barely hinted upon in the original show blowing up into a full blown civil war, and the invention of film as a propaganda tool.
>Amon
Korra peaked here, when it was supposed to be a standalone season.
>Zaheer
Literal Coldsteel "me and my 3 bros can win against any army" levels of bullshit
>Kuvira
>Dude what if Ozai was a girl
Zaheer is the only good villain because he was the only one that actively acknowledged the political philosophy he represented. And his fight scenes were the only good ones in the show
Zaheer using airbending to suffocate people was fricking metal.
Air was always the strongest element but was mostly given to pacifists.
Bloodbending mogs every single other form of bending. If the show was for a more mature audience, you'd see shit like bloodbenders giving people heart attacks or strokes instead of that weird knock-out move they have.
Blood bending is strong but it’s balanced by how it can only be used during the full moon.
Amon and his family being able to do it at any time was dumb. Feels like something from a fanfiction.
>Blood bending is strong but it’s balanced by how it can only be used during the full moon.
retconned in korra
I know, and I said that’s dumb.
The sequel did this retcon where a certain family of bloodbenders were able to bloodbend without need of the full moon. Amon and his brother would have been the most powerful benders in the world if they actually killed people with their bending.
Why does no one read my entire post before replying? It’s literally only two sentences long.
If the show was edgy you'd just have earth benders have the earth suck in their opponent and bury them alive 99% of the time.
i don't know could an airbender just suck all the air out of your lungs? or a water bender fill you up like a balloon? or a firebender just melt your face off.
>airbender just suck all the-
stopped by bloodbending
>water bender fill you up-
stopped by bloodbending
>or a firebender just melt-
stopped by bloodbending
Yeah. That's why its so weird. They throw each other meaningful glances at least three times of the course of the comics too so its more than a little bit of a coincidence
You don't understand. You made Korra, you and all of you.
Zaheers the only good villian. Amons second best.
Kuvira is just female ozai you're right.
Amon was cool until the reveal of his blood bending and premature death. What a waste that was.
Zaheer’s motivations are nonsense, and him just so happening to be lucky enough to get airbending and instantly know how to use it was moronic, but I’ll grant that he did manage to feel threatening.
Kuvira was just a boring dictator with a stupid mech that doesn’t belong in Avatar at all. They tried to make her morally grey but they couldn’t resist making her cartoonishly evil and stupid.
Zaheer was an anarchist pure and simple. He and his sect believes that the key to global freedom and peace is to destroy the world's governments and the boundaries between nations, throwing the world to "natural disorder."
This belief seems to stem from the hundred year war and the actions of the Fire Lord and the Earth King (and his Dai Li), but it's also a twisted reinterpretation of the airbender's philosophy of freedom while simultaneously ignoring the pacifist aspects of it. He really is a true believer too since he does end up helping Korra when he recognizes that his actions helped bring about the rise of Kuvira.
On a meta level, I just loved finally getting to see a villainous airbender in the show.
>forced lesbian ending
Not really. All that happened, was Korra walking into the stupid portal while holding the hand of the hot one. Women do weird stuff like that all the time. They go to the toilet together too.
Korra was a shit show though, no doubt
Honestly the Netflix adaptation might be even worse than the Shyamalan movie because it’s longer than the fricking original show while cutting or fricking up nearly every important moment.
They seriously couldn't cast a hotter azula for the live action?
Issue isn't even the appearance. Dreadful acting, dreadful writing.
She fricks her brother btw
>action rpg
The abhorrent chimera of genres
Toph was older than me when I first watched the show so that means it's morally okay for me to want to give her a little smooch on the nose and hug her.
Grows up and has two different kids by two different fathers. One is a hardass cause she never got any attention the other is a prostitute because she could do anything when her mom is the police chief. Toph is a prostitute.
Yes, I know Korra ruined every character in TLA.
I want mommy Lin, carnally.
I want to desperately dump my seed in Lin in an effort to impregnate her barren womb.
>made Toph of all characters into a cop in the sequel
What the FRICK were they thinking?
Cop toph really makes no sense. She was all about breaking rules and freedom. Feels like a weird 180
It's the other side of her personality, the one that enjoys bullying. Being a hardass police chief must have been a blast for her, hazing new recruits, being rough with criminals, and no doubt it had something to do with having TWO children out of wedlock. As if you could resist the strongest earth bender in the world with complete power over the law.
And then she fricked off into the woods after being parent of the year all years. It's a good character arc.
>made Aang into a deadbeat dad that neglects his other children in favor of Tenzin
>made Katara, of all people, let Aang neglect their other kids just because they weren’t airbenders instead of calling his ass out like he would in the original show
>made Toph into a corrupt cop that also acts as a deadbeat mom
The only members of the Gaang that got out of Korra unscathed were Zuko, Sokka, and Suki and the latter two are long dead by the time the show starts.
I watched Avatar as a kid all the time and I blame this b***h for giving me a foot fetish.
Nickelodeon has no fricking idea how to handle any IP that doesn't entail photoshopping Spongebob's face onto merch
Do you think Azula gets rid of officers she doesn’t like by seducing them into committing statutory rape?
of course she does
No wonder he didn't take the bait.
What if you did actually create a great game like that by yourself or with a small team? Would they try to buy it off you to sell as their own or would they just slap you with a cease and desist letter effectively meaning you wasted your time? I don't understand why more companies don't hire the fans that demonstrate they clearly could make the company more money because they have a passion for their product.
>Make Avatar-flavored KoToR
>Write a serviceable (read:non-shit) story (this is the tricky part
>Profit
It's literally that simple lads.
Nick is run by morons so they can't let good things happen.
They'd rather funnel money into mobile garbage and the shitty live action remake.
Baldurs Gate 3 just make a Monk character
this but pretty much every fantasy setting. I have no idea why devs are obsessed with retreads through the story but with some shitty gameplay slapped on
She's fast!
what zuko sees when he gets out of the bathroom naked
The only exceptional thing about Avatar is the music, and even that is pretty stock.
Here's your fire nation bro.
>You unlocked the good ending.
Is that Azula?
PLAP PLAP PLAP
>get outed as being the Avatar at an extremely young age, which then opted ideologues to then try and kidnap her
>this then leads to her being forced to trained in a compound, socially and emotionally isolated from people her own age with a goddamn polar bear dog being her own only real friend, to the point that she doesn’t even know the value of money as a teenager
>is taught the basics of mastering the other elements sans Air but due to her mostly being taught by White Lotus-sanctioned mentors as opposed to actually finding a mentor to personally bond with and internalize each of the elements’ unique cultures, her spirituality meter is, unsurprisingly, cripplingly low (and frustratingly, the White Lotus blame HER for this)
>even more unsurprisingly, she gains identity issues and a need for validation as the Avatar, and ends up trying to overcompensate by going all in on her bending and tying the core of her being to it
>all of this results in an emotionally abused young woman who goes to extremes to get what she wants, doesn’t take no for an answer, and has little experience dealing with people as peers as opposed to obstacles
>show only passively acknowledges this in the background instead of scrutinizing how the White Lotus basically ruined her life and how they’re free to do it again when the next Avatar after Korra comes along
Korra deserved a better show with better writers.
What’s really fricked up is how the previous show acknowledged how messed up this kind of life would have on a child by showing Zuko and Azula being raised as weapons, with little identity (particularly for Azula) outside of their royal status and duties, not to mention Aang not being ready to deal with the responsibilities of being the Avatar at the age of 12 due to the job upending his life. This is all clearly shown to be a bad thing but Korra (the show that is) barely even acknowledges it.
>I'M THE AVATAR AND YOU GOTTA DEAL WITH IT
Nah man, Korra as a character was in the shitter from the very first reveal: damaging her family's house IN THE MIDDLE OF A BLIZZARD and telling people they gotta deal with it.
I mean technically yeah she is a prodigy. But locking her up in a compound and 100% controlled is the ONLY way to deal with what is effectively a five year old with three guns.
NOTHING in the rest of the show actually makes her sympathetic as a character. She's abrasive, rude, cheats, breaks rules, messes things up, and she does all that over and over and over and never learns to stop doing it.
In the end, portals stay open, including one in the middle of an extremely populous city, and she flips the bird to everyone expecting her to AT LEAST clean up her own mess and goes on a vacation with her new girlfriend. Absolutely selfish, absolutely no heroism.
Both statements can be true. Korra’s more explosive/destructive actions getting lightly brushed off is a huge problem within the show’s narrative, especially when she keeps repeating those same mistakes and no one thinks to comment on it, but this was also the result of her incredibly sheltered upbringing and the show doesn’t think to ever comment on this.
Hey but at least we had a full on lesbian romance on a show that aired on Nickelodeon
This wasn't intentional, it was just the writers completely forgetting everything they had made surrounding the Avatar. Literally the FIRST time Aang discovers he's the Avatar is after he's already become an airbending master at 12 (because he's a prodigy), and the monks even state right then and there that they realize it's way too early to be telling him but they have to because of looming war.
Yet Korra is told when she's, like, five, despite their being no threats. Also she can bend fire at five despite having never seen a firebender. And she's a shit about it.
This wasn't something the writers were intentionally doing by saying like "oh she's a total fricking moronic c**t because she's sheltered!" That's just a nice headcanon way to explain why the writers made an unlikeable character that never grows AND also fricked up the lore around the Avatar.
You are correct that they completely removed all of the mysticism and journey behind an Avatar's growth. That was not intentional or done as commentary, because it's done throughout the entire fricking show on everything and it's barely addressed as a bad thing, except Tenzin kind of not liking Pro Bending. You would think the Avatar, the bridge to the spirit world, would have some thoughts about the waning spirituality and mysticism of the world, considering it's her fricking job. But the writers forgot what the entire point of the series was. TLA deals more with spiritualism vs. industrialism, when there's much less of it in that series (i.e. Aang's frustration with the Northern Air Temple, the Painted Lady, Hei Bei).
Why was their chemistry so much weaker compared to the Gaang’s?
The love triangle weakened it severely. Whereas for the Gaang, the love thing waited for the last season to truly show up.
they barely even felt like friends and none of them are likeable except Tenzin. Wanting to frick the girls doesn't count. They just fall way short of the og
A shit love triangle(or square) took up a lot of their shared screentime, none of them really grow or change as characters, they never went on an adventure together, and they rarely fought as a full team.
Oh, and they never trained together either because Korra was naturally already a master firebender and earthbender.
What made the Gaang’s chemistry work for me was that it felt like the result of asking thoughtful questions about how the characters behaviors would logically respond against one another, then letting that outcome play out in a reasonable fashion, such as Katara’s overbearing attitude clashing with Toph’s more devil-may-care approach to life. In Korra, the characters come off more as if they are written to check off certain archetypes to appeal to a "older audience" without actually exploring the nuances that can arise from said archetypes.
Another point is that aside from a shared mission, the other reason the Gaang worked was because they were isolated from society and their family and peers for most of the time. For example, Katara wouldn't be half so effective as team mom if there were a couple of adult women constantly in contact with their group.
By comparison, Korra has a massive cast of adult characters, some of whom are far more interesting than Korra's friends. The group dynamic doesn’t feel very important when the real family is still in the picture and the MC spends long stretches of time apart from her friends. The adults also tended to be more interesting. I haven't watched TLoK since it was airing, and the relationship I remember best is Tenzin's mentorship of Korra, and the character whose concept I found most interesting was Lin's.
In hindsight, it was a mistake to try to recreate the same dynamic that Aang had. Her scenario is totally different from Aang's—prepubescent fugitive on a world-spanning quest versus VIP young adult carving out her niche in society. Rather than focusing on a group of adolescents who didn't have much going on aside from relationship drama and little reason to work together except loose friendships with Korra, it would have been better to let them fade into supporting characters after the pro ending arc ended and instead focus more on Tenzin and Lin’s dynamics with her.
Please; and I say this with absolutely no irony whatsoever: have a nice day.
You homosexual manchild.
why mad?
They felt like they had things down to a science with how well the Gaang worked and got overconfident.
Decisions made for the sake of romantic tension continued to have impact long after that tension was explored and resolved.
They tried to introduce all the "important bits" too fast and too soon, with too little natural growth over too short a time.
Making obvious stabs at having Zuko 2 in male format (works with the "most bad side", firebender, edgy) and female format (works with another bad side, father issues) feels cynical as frick.
I'd be satisfied with a better version of platinum's game.
Oh yeah, videogames.
korratards seething lmoa
Nah, it's avatards seething. They're a special breed of moron; most of them are apparently all autistic and they never matured beyond the mental age of 12.
It's weird; you never see other fandoms being this juvenile.
>complains about maturity
>goes into name-calling and ad-hominems immediately instead of trying to defend Korra on its own merits
There's no point in putting that much effort into conversation with a cretin like you. No cogent argument would get through that thick homosexual-skull of yours; but that's a you problem.
Absolutely incredible argumentative skills you’re displaying here, anon. I can practically smell the seethe from the other side of the screen.
The only Last Airbender game that would make sense to make would need the most advanced physics simulation ever; where you can shape materials into whatever you want using the different elements.
I don't know if we're there yet; even for a small-scale game.
korratard mad, I smile, simply as
You are super desperate to show how not mad you are, my guy.
hear hear these homosexualy essays over a kids show are brutal to read
And this is why you don't even mention Korra in a thread. It's like.. my god it's the Etalarche curse.
Eh, it's like political arguments. It's always useful to know who your enemies are.
I understood that reference.
NOT REALISTIC
>she cries while watching Zuko get burned
They’re going to redeem her at the end, aren’t they?
its simple, we devour our enemies
did she eat azula?
I guess fire flakes have a lot of calories
Are they Koreans or something? Why are they chubby?
Americanized Asians, could also be Mongols though.
Is this some kind of joke? I could swear I've seen actors with faces closer to the actual characters. I've seen REGULAR PEOPLE with faces closer to the actual characters. Did they pick solely based on race and hair???
AAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEE
I watch Korra because i enjoy jerking off to her. Yes the show sucks, but Korra is so sexy and i like to imagine myself sucking her big futa wiener. I’d imagine she has thick wiener built to punish little beta b***h boys, such as myself.
the face when no fred figglehorn adventure game. brooooos who here /fred/ i know 90% of you fricking homosexuals watched that garbage
You sound mad
I knew Ganker would hold an avatar thread sooner or later.
The new Netflix is megashit. It fails on its own first and then it fails as an adaption, a few gentle anons have picked at the dirt to uncover little scraps of redemption for it.
First half is boring and bad but the second half is interesting and bad. Avatar Zombie.
trash that was korra ruined the franchise
korra is sexy though
show was so bad that it makes every character associated with it into garbage
yeah but korra is hot
Well, now the the Netflix Avatar released now we know why the og writers bailed out of that- it's garbage and one of the worst character assesinations in recent memory..
It's because suits and investors want maximum profit for minimum investment which results in them releasing cheap shovelware.
Not to mention the creators are moronic and don't understand the reason for their own show's success.
Avatar was popular for the same reason the original Pokemon show was popular. It was about going on a big adventure exploring a new world doing a bunch of stuff with an interesting cast and cool superpowers. The core of the show was that simple.
God I want to breed azula, ty Lee, and mai so fricking hard. I want to leave them all passed out on the bed, with oozing creampies
Zuko…
Season 1 of Korra was great imo. Season 2 sucked, season 3 was ok and 4 was boring. If the show stopped after Amon, it would have been a great little follow-up to the original. Season 2 wouldn't rape the entire setting.
If they were unsure about future seasons of Korra they should've made long ago prequels, when shit was probably even more mystical plus it'd be fun to see familiar places from the past and functional, living air temples.
>HURR DURR FAT ACTRESSES
Do you realize that Aang meets with forceghost Gyatso in the spirit world who tells him to fly to Roku's Island alone, on his glider in order to meet Roku who proceeds to crack jokes while in spirit form and gives Aang a statuette for trading to Koh because he has captured Sokka and Katara and is about to eat their faces?
so that's how the fire b***hes got fat, I see now...
Yeah yeah yeah, something something car in lord of the rings or something blah blah
So you played that game too..
The fat fire b***hes are just fun to laugh at, anon.
The netflix show is fun to laugh at too.
Bumi was transformed into an butthole who grills Aang about "abandoning him and abandoning the airbenders" without an ounce of playfulness because this Bumi is a dark character who lost hope, he had to starve the orphans to feed the soldiers and with tears rolling down his face he yells at Aang to kill him or die. Do it Aang, i want you to hit me c'mon hit me, HIT ME.
And then he was a good friend.
Plenty of weird stuff in there.
jannies are sliding
Who cares I just want an ATLA h game
>Romacable companion in Kotor 2 is voiced by Azula's actress
>Sounds just like her. Hot af.
Did the Actress do any other game where her character was a love interest?
She was Jeanette from VTMB and you can frick her. It fades to black but there are some rather interesting sounds that go on for a good half minute.
Always wanting to be the avatar is boring shit.
I'd want an RPG/Squad based game where you recruit a band of benders and non-benders to do a story that doesn't have to do with "maintaining balance" which is the avatar's whole schtick.
Tell me about Janny.
Why does he slide the thread?
before the thread 404 has there ever been a good avatar game? peroid? last one i tried sucked.
korra game has fun dmc style combat
Four Elements Trainer
kek
I'l check it out. Although I wish it was the original cast I too am one of the anons who only watched season 1 of korra.
I remember playing a good once on the PS2. Villains were non-benders so its was like a precursor to the Equalists.
>What..did you do to me
