Avatar: The Last Airbender / The Legend of Korra

[Blue Gem Kosher Queen]

Assuming these are the real designs, how in the holy fuck is this girl black? In the world of avatar there are only inuits and asians. There no blacks, whites, indians, abos, native americans or what ever else. The world building is very clear about the four nations and their conflicts because that's the story and why avatars are a thing.

You aren't wrong but there's the Sun Warriors and the Soggy Swamp Tribe as very specific counterexamples. I going to assume that the girl has that South Bengal phenotype going otherwise.

Does anyone actually cares about a new show, like, at all?. People say all the time that Star Wars is a dead IP nowadays, but to me, Avatar is in a way worse situation. At the very least you can say Star Wars had a good trilogy, and a fair amount of decent to good videogames, cartoons, novels and comic-books, Avatar has fucking nothing, nothing beyond the original cartoon, everything made after The Last Airbender ranges from mediocre to awful, be it videogames, live-action adaptations or comic-books.

Avatar as a franchise is like the MCU, if it's only good movie was Iron Man from 2008. If this new show ever gets released, it's probably going to be cancelled after one season.

Both Avatar and Teen Titans are a bit of an odd example of failed franchises because their franchise isnt really a franchise, it's one specific moment in time when you the average fan were a kid and were obsessed with it. Divorce those two from the nostalgia and the pop culture movement of Amerime and you get some fairly decent CHILDRENS shows, but fans are constantly trying to Frankenstein those two back into relevance despite Avatar's chance to be a Nickelodeon staple died with the first movie and was buried with Korra. Teen Titans fans are even more pathetic because they're obsessed with loyalty to the "source" in properties like Titans and Teen Titans Go, even tho the source material is the comics from the 70s which the TV show bastardized to make their favorite interpretation. Theyre deeply resentful the only relevant thing of their characters is an incredibly popular TV show they a-log and the porn they still make of the 2000s versions of these barely-if-legal characters which is the skeeviest thing

And yea tho the MCU is successful and has fans, because kids watch them and the adults who watch them are plentiful enough for it to make money. Was the original Avatar even successful? Or did they just coast by and since it was a lore show they were able to finish it since they only needed three seasons? Like three seasons is pretty easy to get, all you need to do is get renewed once and then have a good premiere for your second season. That's it. If Avatar was a five season arc it would not have been finished and would not be remembered. It'd be like the Pirates of Dark Isle, it only has its reputation because it managed to finish its story and finished mediocrity is more impressive to people than unfinished greatness

Yes. Please stop drunk posting, you fucking retard.

Alright jesus sorry i dont have encyclopedic knowledge of avatar's ratings

Alright jesus sorry

The issue is you are right many people are in fact angry at the failure to launch of their children's show

Pure fanfiction. Disabled asskicking MC girl with awesome superpowers in cyberpunk dystopia created by former reincarnation plus obligatory favored twin cliche, sounds more like a first draft pumped out by some ChatGPT clone. And kinda desperate tbh. Instead of creating a believable future for the nonsensical events in LoK, it's just tabula rasa doomsday reset.
(Also, how is the reincarnation cycle supposed to work without the 4 nations, that was a really important plot point in the original series.)

Now the cycle has turned into the black wheel of globohomo and only brown people get to be the avatar.

Calling it a "franchise" at this point is a cruel joke. Though there are still people out there that think Korra holds up compared to the original... but still, it really was lightning in a bottle.

Sounds to me that the only way forward is to do Avatar GO and fuck it. They had a few little chibi shorts, money in the bank!

We all know that the true reason they went from four nations to 7 is so we can now have the poojeet nation, the arab nation, the latinx nation, the NIGGER nation.

So will people be defending Korra soon to justify more angles to hate this next Avatar renewal?

Korra will likely get the same treatment the prequels did when people saw how low you can go with the sequels

I don't know about that. The prequels have some legitimately good aspects about it to defend, even if its tied to the hip with crap. Korra is just Crap.

I think there were some good ideas in Korra. I really liked the idea of anti-bender resistances but they kind of fucked it with Amon's reveal.

Hell they could do a really good job with that nowadays. It would be a nice parallel to the screeching oppression olympics, except that the anti-benders might actually have a point.

Wait fuck then that would validate the left's asshattery.

It's easy to come with good ideas, but the execution has to be at least semi competent.

Let's take as an example the Jedi being corrupt. The prequels didn't make it a massive part of the plot, the corruption itself was them being passive and easy to manipulate rather than evil. You can take a moral that even if a good power is in rule, it is easy to get complacent.

Meanwhile anti Benders are the entirety of season 1 plot and there is no moral or complexity there. It doesn't expand on any idea or offer any moral.

It also gets dropped like a rock. "Oh, the figurehead is a bender? All is solved!" When if anything it would have pissed non benders off even more.

The big issue is that Avatar is not a good world to have the issue of anti bender sentiment:
1. Benders themselves are too different, there is no common ability they share that would really change their daily life. Especially in a city with benders from all kind. Maybe Ba Sing Se you could argue had the railways for benders. Or water tribes having them steer boats.
2. There is no real difference between really weak benders and normal people.
3. Bending prowess is seemingly not genetic, and a bender family could have non bender children.
4. Bending itself requires effort, the more privileged a person is, the less bending he needs to do.
5. The rebels in Korra uses technology to bridge the gap with benders, meaning the conflict itself will be solved by time.

No. The smarter fans who actually care about the original series know this is a bad idea. The retarded SJWs who simply like Korea for being a brown lesbian don't like the idea of killing her off, but are at least willing to tolerate it if they get another lesbian character out of it and further tear down the franchise that people they hate like.

The world is too safe for the conflict to work. If Benders or non-benders were naturally dying out or something then it would work better.

Nah, Korra is perfect backdrop to handle anti-bender sentiment. During Aang's lifetime, everything was tribal, and the tribes were based on the bender element. You were in the EARTH KINGDOM whether you could actually bend earth or not. Tribe, not bending ability, was how people understood their identity and lives.

Then you get to Korra's era and you have Republic City, a city where people from all the nations live together. Removed from the tribe, how do people decide to view their role in society? Bending and not bending. Its frankly the biggest difference between people at that point. Either you have devastating powers or you don't. And if you don't, you're certainly going to be pissed when the government and the police are made up of benders.

Tribal societies would 100% be worse for non benders. I think even the writers got into a mess because the air nomads yeeted their non bending children since they physically can't get off the mountain temples. Meanwhile just by virtue of having a ton of people, nobody would even know if a person is are a bender or not, and even if he isn't it wouldn't affect his life since the city is made to be accessible to all benders.

It's like the idea that the past had people accepted individuals with physical/mental deformities because it was a community, when in reality they just straight up let the tards to die.

And like I said, you can't really have bending aristocrats. If anything actually using bending in daily life is the equivalent of doing blue collar work.
