But as often happens, explaining the magic kills the magic. In season 2, we learned just what the Avatar is. Korra wanted to have its cake and eat it, too.Īnd why, why, WHY didn’t she use her Avatar State more often?! Or, you have to go all the way with it, like Toph. At some point, she stops being quirky and starts being an idiot.Ī brash, immature character can be a good starting point, but they have to grow in some way. Watching her shrug off the advice of he elders and fall for pathetic traps really got old after a while. She always punched first and asked questions later, even by the time she really should have learned a thing or two. The show kept trying to tell me Korra was growing, but I didn’t see that at all. It instantly told us who she was and how she differed from Aang.Īnd then she stayed that way for four seasons. “I’m the avatar! You guys deal with it!” That’s her motto and her first line. The same fight would have different results depending on how far along in the season it was. Let’s see, episode 3? Good guys get their butts kicked. I think it’s also because the story got so familiar that you could predict the outcome without even trying. And it was so DULL! How’d that happen? Because it was all punches and lasers. A giant spirit Korra fighting a giant dark avatar in a massive showdown. The worst example was the end of season 2. Throw rock, punch fire, smack with water, all direct physical attacks. In so many fight scenes, it’s punch, kick, repeat. Believe it or not, it’s the fight scenes that could be the most boring in a given episode. I like learning about the characters, the world, etc. Ironically, the non-action sequences rarely got dull. Korra had some pretty awesome fight scenes and some intense moments, especially in the last two seasons.

But I can’t deny that the bad far outweighs the good, and I think it’s time we fanboys admitted the truth: The Legend of Korra had a laundry list of problems. Sadly, my fears were justified.ĭon’t get me wrong, Korra had some really good points and I’ll address them throughout this list. Spinoffs are more likely to fail than not, and it had a major name to live up to.

It had incredible writing, beautiful animation, and characters that stuck with us when we saw those tragic words “The End.” So when I heard about The Legend of Korra, I was nervous.

Avatar: The Last Airbender is my number-one favorite television show of all time, and not just in animation.
