Avatar did wrap up pretty much everything that it needed to wrap up and left A LOT open that people would like to explore further. Korra expanded on the spirit world (even though that depiction of that world sucks in comparison to Aangs), blood bending as mentioned, and seasons 3 dope Air bending. But I'd still love to know more on thins like the sand bending bandits, same with the vine bending dudes they always seem like a middle ground bending between Air and Earth and Water and Earth? I think Bolin's lava bending is Fire and Earth but I guess water and fire don't click, same with air and fire? Another aspect is the members of the white lotis they feel like Akatsuki members

I’m super late cause KZfaq sucks at notifying people of new uploads but just wanted to say I’ve appreciated this series retrospective a lot. I watched The Boondocks long after it ended (in 2018 I think?) and couldn’t quite articulate why, but also felt that season 4 was just meh. Personally my favourite is season 2 and I totally agree with your ending sentiment that the show should just be allowed to end. My favourite sitcom is Seinfeld and a large reason it has the legacy it does is because it ended without being dragged out. Maintaining a legacy is more important than constant revenue. Great reviews man 👏

Unfortunately it's pretty much impossible to compete with ATLA and LoK basically had to compete with it. LoK initially only got 1 season then a second and finally a 3rd and 4th. There's almost no way to do long term story telling when the work is only approved for 1 season at a time. An idea I had was a cross-over with: original Star Wars, BTAS, & Avatar as all 3 are great plus all heavily involved Mark Hamill. I do feel that the seasonal villains of LoK did hurt plus with a lot of characters there really wasn't much time to expand on them. While ATLA had this to a degree but Azula & Zuko were in a way the primary villains/antagonist

You have a very underrated channel and this is one of the best episodes I've seen on Samurai Champloo. It's crazy how you don't know much about his backstory besides that his parents were criminals and probably nuts and died when he was younger and only these two were his closest friends and they both betrayed him terribly. Sara even says during their fight that she could sense that he's never been loved once in his life. That's he's extremely angry but deep down is sad.

Good points. And I did say in the video that I didn't think he was a bad character. I just think the writers could have made him a little more competent in battle. He also struggles to keep Korra in line throughout the series (not saying it's an easy job because Korra is very headstrong) but that just adds to his overall incompetence even at the things he supposed to be good at.

I think bringing up it's predecessor as point of criticism is kinda reductive if the argument it's "it's not just as good", well of course it's not, but that is not the point being made, at least not to me. The way I see it, it's that bryke and their team struggled to make basic storytelling choices when it came to LoK, to the point that even came across as completely amateurish sometimes. I commend their choice of making something different, and I would argue the best things about LoK are when they take risks, but oh boy they fumbled the execution of those plotllines so hard. The love triangle of the first season is atrocious and the ending completely undermines the impact of Korra losing her bending. Aang IMMEDIATALY shows up and resolves conflict, that way Korra doesn't learn anything ,and they just reset her character arc season 2.It's just in season 3(which by the way is the best season by a longshot) they finally did something her character. Until season 3, LoK didn't feel like a overarching narrative with a cohesive narrative, and everything else suffered because of it. And you can tell they REALLY tried so hard to connect the dots in book 3, by revealing that unalaq was part of the red lotus. I also agree that season 4 was super underwhelming, and they really tried to make Mako and Bolin interesting, but honestly by that point was already to late. The best thing about season 4 was the aftermath of Zaheer's actions, which lead to the rise of Kuvira, and Korra having to face her demons.This what the show has been mising, actual consequences for the world and characters. The scene between her and Zaheer in book 4 is one the best scenes in the show, it's brillant. So yeah with all that said I think Korra is a good show, and when people point out things that are great about like the villans, the themes, the complexity of the world. This show is full of genius ideas that more often than not end up working against the story they are telling. Overall I still like this show, but I have no desire to keep rewatching it. Season 1 is probably my favorite as a standalone story, and season 3 is the best one as a overarching story. And even if somebody wants to argue that bryke didn'T know if they were going to get a next season, and they did the best they could with the hand they were given(god knows dealing with nick it's a nightmare) guess what, ATLA wasn't greenlit for 3 books either. Hell they didn't even know if book 1 was gonna be the last one, but they had a vision, and took a gamble and it payed off.

I know the reason why Korra's development seemed so slow in Season 2. Season 2 was written as it's last season until they were abruptly told after finishing the product that TLOK would be put on for 2 other seasons and notice how those last 2 seasons were the best because Korra actually got to develop. All I'd want is Unalaq to have more depth and not ruin the spirits because learning Spiritbending served NOTHING for Korra except for getting stronger, she could've learned how to be compassionate earlier on in Season 2 but I'm glad they picked it back up and lessons FROM season 2 were mentioned again. All the side characters are great but the Krew just remained so static with subtle changes and when relationships did change it was mostly just because Korra became a better person. And about ATLA not being greenlit for 3 books. The 3 main writers had already established what they wanted to do with the show before it was even aired and plus Nickolodeons distrubution was steady. Unlike Korra where literally one of the Korean animators said "Sexism hindered the production of Korra." and firing random staff members. ATLA definetly got more care than LOK ever did and Nickolodeon HATES both series.

@@chillreview636 TLDR: I don't think there is a MC, but really characters act as a window into the fever dream awkwardness of a post-war avatar world. In full: I think its better understood as a team saga. Your video was accurate in pointing out that all the characters are incomplete, but maybe we've looked at character arcs always having a conclusion as typical, and we expect it as the standard state of storytelling. In reality we join people's lives, move through with them, and then fall out of contact. We never get to see their arcs and their often inconsistent and contradictory. If you see the characters as a side-story/future-arc wherein the point of the characters is to be a foil of which to reveal more about the universe's lore, then their inconsistencies are not as jarring. These are characters plopped into their circumstance, they arent deeply spiritual nomads or self-doubting waterbenders with traumatic pasts, or an anti-hero who struggles with accepting the terms of their duty. Nothing philosophical really drives these characters. And that's the key point, these chracters are not "driven" in the same sense that the characters in ATLA were. They are very much modern people in the modern avatar world, and that world has changed drastically since the age of myth (Aang's time). Kind of like when we read stories of Al Capone or the Italian Mafia, such driven prolific figures.. then you have the CEO of google (way more wealthy but 0 earth-shattering accomplishments or convictions). ATLA is the heroes journey from a time of legends, ATLA:K is what would happen if you dropped a group of Millennials & Gen-Z's in the world of avatar.

I didn’t finish the first season because I just got bored with the potential love triangle they were setting up, I hate love triangles. That being said, even I thought that Korra received too much hate. People literally were upset that she didn’t act like Aang. This made zero sense to me because Korra is a separate person. Aang was whole MONK, Ofcourse he is going to be chill when he was raised to be enlightened. Plus even Aang has his immature moments. Korra was a teenager that grew up isolated from the real world, raised by a bunch of old masters. She wasn’t growing up around other people her age, so it doesn’t surprise me how immature she was in the first season. She’s put on a pedestal by these older people in a way that Aang wasn’t. Her coming to republic city and realizing that everyone doesn’t really need her, was life changing. Plus she was thrown into a world where bending has evolved with technology, leading to more powerful villains.
