Saturday Morning Cartoon Drama! BPD nutjobs (:marseychonkerfoid:) flip out about people posting mean things on the internet about Korra from that Avatar sequel that no one watched :soysnootypefast: :soysnooseethe:

First off, I haven't seen the Korra cartoon so I understand very little about this spergout. I only saw the first Avatar series which I would describe as a fun waste of time cartoon, but not incredible.

If someone can post a TL;DW of what the frick these people are talking about it for semi-normies like me, I'd appreciate it.

With that out of the way:

I chatted with an neurodivergent fan of it a while ago so i learned a few things from it.

Basically the original Avatar was a cartoon show with major influences from anime (and the expected neurodivergent debate around how to classify it) that got a cult following from terminally online neurodivergents who used to watch it. It doesn't seem that good, but there's a surprising amount of care put into some details, and people praise its writing a lot so i just assume it's a decent cartoon show for kids.

Much later, it ended up getting a sequel (Korra), which on top of placing the setting much further in time (feeling more like the 1920's/1930's rather than the soft 19th century of the original series) retconned a LOT of things for the worst, kinda turned the original cast of the series into a bunch of fools (Γ  la Luke Skywalker, if you've seen that debacle) and in general shat on the established lore. Its main character was also noticeably... Mary Sue-ish, being excessively powerful (unless unconvenient) and kind of a b-word in general.

This issue was highly compounded when she was compared to Aang, the former main character, who was much more diplomatic, much more bearable in general and was basically a Superman-ish kind of figure who's main weakness was actually being too trusting of a guy. I don't remember the show's end but i'm fairly sure that he ended up actually accomplishing his duty and did it well, only to have his actions retconned in the sequel.

Said main character was also the center of a "big" controversy. Turns out, since the original show attracted a bunch of neurodivergent fans, when the sequel came out those same grown-up manchildren had newfound priorities, and thus began a bunch of annoying-butt shipping wars, with a twist.

You see, the beginning of the series iiirc revolved around a classic boring butt love triangle, but a lot of the fans were not interested in it. You might think that's good, but actually they were simply rabidly pushing in another direction, wanting instead the female heroine to end up with another chick of the cast. It might not seem like much, but since this was already some time ago there was a big push for it because of the whole "oh my god le representation !" thing, and it eventually ended up becoming canon, though i think people are not sure if it was indeed "intended all along" as some people claim.

I'm also fairly sure the show ends with some massively nonsensical shit like the normal people's world being filled with weird butt dangerous spirits and the main character just goes oh well now we just gotta learn to live together :3333 don't be bigots pwease ;3333

Neurodivergent wars aside, from the few excerpts i remember the show had some good ideas here and there (what happens to stuff like martial arts and all that require a lot of training and discipline once technology rolls in and makes all of it meaningless) but constantly shat the bed and relied heavily on conveniences.

TL;DR : mid cartoon show got a shit sequel that gaybaited to get people behind it, now there's another sequel planned and it's probably gonna be shit.

The lesbian thing is worse than how you describe it.

The original love triangle happens in the first season, then gets abandoned because it was shit and everyone hated it. There were then 3 more seasons in which Korra doesn't have any real interpersonal relationship development, no hints at romance whatsoever.

However, internet losers being internet losers, there were plenty of people talking about how different characters should totally get together, including korra and the other main chick (who was also shown as being basically straight in season 1).

Keep in mind there was not a single second of these two characters acting in any way romantic towards each other, right up until the very last shot of the entire series. The 4th season was once again a bit shit, so presumably to bring fans back onside the final shot was of the two girls holding hands and looking at each other before going into a portal. That's it. Literally just the laziest last minute insert to try and salvage another crap ending

if you want a relatively entertaining breakdown of the show, i highly recommend E;R's channel. He's an neurodivergent (that's to be expected tbh) but he's one of the few remaining chuddy media slop reviewers that can be pretty fun.

This is wrong on so many levels.

kinda turned the original cast of the series into a bunch of fools

Tf are you talking about? Old Toph is still a badass who kicks butt. Old Katara is more mellow but that's understandable because she isn't a 14 year old girl anymore. Old Zuko becomes a powerful leader but a chill one just like his uncle iroh

main character was also noticeably... Mary Sue-ish, being excessively powerful

Fricking bullshit. She lost so many fights way more fights than Aang did. The fan who told you this never watched the show I'm convinced of that. And being excessively powerful is literally what the avatar is supposed to be.

I liked Korra's character arc from a hot headed teenager to a mature woman. the problem is that the start of season 2 regresses her character back from whatever development she got in season 1. Bad choice by the writers there.

I've had a Zoomer fan explain it to me as well and it seems that Korra was hated cause she was kind of a meathead without much charisma. The setting seemed cool though, but it's probably not worth watching since it seems like YA slop in cartoon form.

Book 1 and 2 of original series are actually good. Like it's a children's cartoon sure but there are themes touched on in a complex and mature way. It is a good introduction for a child into more adult concepts and stories.

Early in the first season Aang (main character frozen in ice for 100 years) explores his old home which is basically a Buddhist temple full of monks. All of the people of his culture in the southern hemisphere live there. He eventually discovers that they were all killed, his entire culture wiped out, everyone he ever knew dead. He finds the skeleton of his father figure surrounded by skeletons of enemy soldiers and is thrown into intense grief and rage and guilt for not being there, triggering a supernatural chimpout that his new qt3.14 waifu has to talk him out of. She holds him while they silently mourn for their dead and the episode ends.

Honor, duty, guilt, hate, loss are all explored in complex ways that aren't just the safe lazy obvious route you would expect from a kids action-drama.

All I'm saying is this isn't SpongeBob. I think it's a good show to watch with your kid when they are like 7-11. I watched it as a kid and rewatched it like last year with my nephew to see if it held up and only the last season really feels particularly childish. The writing just seems different. The change in tone was so apparent I went searching online for some behind the scenes changes that would have caused this. Apparently Nickelodeon told the show runners to tone it down a bit because parents were complaining about the show being too idk intense or something for their little r-slurs.

Anyways I wouldn't recommend it to an adult alone but it's a good watch with a kid compared to the brainrot cartoons that are out there corrupting the youth.

AtLA is such a fascinating phenomenon. It's a good cartoon but it legitimately feels like the creators made a deal with the devil. AtLA is allowed to be good but everything else is shit. All the media related to the show ranged from slop to absolute shit, yes even Korra and I expect no different from this sequel of a sequel.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

To me the problem is that the worldbuilding carried AtLA hard, but then everyone complimented the writing and characters. So you end up in a situation where AtLA, the initial success, was a result of world-first writing - but then, after years of praise for their writing, they decide to approach Korra from a character-first angle instead.

The only thing that I know about Korra is that it spawned E;R's YouTube channel, which would lead to him making his Death Note video that Pewdiepie liked and got cancelled for liking.

America is authoritarian in government and fascist in Wall Street, who runs the economic model. You'd laugh if I told you that you live under fascism and authoritarianism and you'd probably flee to freer countries.

Corporations collectively decide who to hire, what to pay, what to raise wages by, how to exploit and trample on their employees, what the education, experience, age requirements are, whether are not you deserve benefits, how safe and ergonomic is your working environment, how much of your wages to steal or unpaid work, how long you work, how long is your vacation, how much workload, how much to verbally abuse you and etc.

Modern classical economists have said wall street, corporations and small businesses are like mini governments and anything except physical abuse goes. Wall street is political donor class so government becomes authoritarian (aka taking or reducing your rights) and introducing neo-liberal (pro-wall street) polices. Buddy, nazis may have killed the jews but the 1% will steal your labour, slave you away, and these days lead to an untimely death (slow death by a thousand cuts).

But I need a car, a house, a vacation, home time, enough for healthy food, retirement, medical, student debt, marriage, kids, hobbies, miscellaneous expenses. Wall street will say you poor bastard and import another one or lock you up if you try resisting. Would you flee if you're not the established class already?

In history people have killed the tyrants or left. Those who stay are dumb farm animals for them to thrive on and hopefully they reproduce and stay blinded by debt and servitude with materialism, sense of "american dream 9-5 duty", credit addiction and internet/electronics addiction (aka stockholm syndrome). There is really no precedent to this turbo-techno capitalism system we're facing.

Why did this happen? They went off gold, so that's why it feels money feels like coins in an arcade. It wouldn't be possible otherwise because it would destroy the currency internationally to print so much. America had 80% of the worlds gold after ww2 and had the opportunity say to every country, starting now US dollars replace gold and are not backed by it.
