    Is "Legend of Korra" any good?

    Huh, didn't realize it got that bad towards the end after I dropped the show. I just knew Korra had the extremely self-entitled "It's all about me" too-cool attitude that seems to infest modern characters and also terrible self-inserts, and I say that as a person who greatly enjoys reading...

    Is "Legend of Korra" any good?

    That's... a complete nonsense answer to the point I made given I was talking about how fast into her introduction (less than five minutes) she started beating people up. How strong those people were doesn't figure into it at all. And this means... what? You think nobody ships Toph?

    Is "Legend of Korra" any good?

    There are always confounding factors somewhere, but a switch to stream in season 2 wouldn't have caused it to lose a million viewers on the third episode, and never getting all the way back from that. That said because there are always confounding factors, I prefer to use multiple lines of...

    Is "Legend of Korra" any good?

    Yes, generally females get much more work especially in the form of art than males, so Toph losing out to male characters makes her especially weak in popularity. Even Suki has more Deviations than Toph does and Sokka's only a bit behind her. Legend of Korra, of course, is far, far less...

    Is "Legend of Korra" any good?

    There's no change of tune, and I wish you'd quit trying to score these cheap "gotchas." I enjoy the character in large part because she gets humbled from time to time. If Katara didn't take Toph down a peg a few times, if Toph's own stupid arrogance didn't get her captured repeatedly, if she...

    Is "Legend of Korra" any good?

    On the contrary, I have a bit more education and background than most for character analysis so I can see it more clearly, but I think most fans would agree with me on Toph. The thing is, your little gotcha won't work. Toph's not a main but rather a supporting character, which like a villain...

    Is "Legend of Korra" any good?

    I think neither of them were onscreen screaming "Deal with it!" to her elders while bending three elements at once. More specifically and less glibly, though, I didn't care much for Toph but could stand her since she wasn't the main character and was overshadowed by people I liked more. Seeing...

    Is "Legend of Korra" any good?

    Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I'm not sure what you're getting at here. Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I mostly judge characters by what happens onscreen. I judge Korra for the first five minutes of her screentime, not unknown things that happened when she was...

    Is "Legend of Korra" any good?

    I didn't say it took anything away from Aang, I said her cooler-than-thou attitude and showing how much more amazing her powers were even as a toddler made me dislike the character. In the first episode? None. In the second episode? One, Zuko, and Aang barely manages that and it takes him...

    Is "Legend of Korra" any good?

    Right there. The cool "I'm the Avatar! You Gotta Deal with it!" attitude and bending three elements when still a toddler is enough to show she's got her hip attitude and is more powerful than Aang. Korra doesn't respect her elders, her elders respect her! Korra don't need no doors, she'll...
