nine naked men Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 My kneejerk reaction to the finale was that it was pretty terrible. After thinking about it for a while I think there were pretty big parts of it that were terrible, and other parts that were pretty cool. The ending and the 5-minute flashback sequence were the worst parts. They definitely could have been improved if they had a couple more episodes to work with, I think. e - ^ and the Lieutenant dude should run it because he deserves a break after getting beat up on a whole lot. Maybe they could be a legit political party and have a guy on the council too. sleep like dead men wake up like dead men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RpgGamer Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Aang died when he was 66, and in Endgame he didn't look nearly that old. Plus Kyoshi died when she was 200 and something, and she appeared to be quite young. The only old looking avatar I can think of is Roku. Roku looked way older when he died than his representation is. I'm thinking they get immortalized at the age the achieve their goal of restoring balance to the world. Which would make sense for all of them [birth of Republic City, Denying the Fire Lord's quest for dominance, Splitting Kyoshi island from the barbarian earthbender invaders...] I'd like to see season 2 with a lot of spiritual stuff. There was virtually no mention of it in the LoK season 1. And none of the character conflicts capture my interest at all. Mako is a jerk, so the love triangle is lame. Asami is barely a character, so her father issues are bland. The blood bending brothers are essentially dead, and to bring them back would be the stupidest plot twist ever. The whole series so far feels very week. But that's likely because it was so rushed in the small amount of episodes they were given to complete it. That and the first series was a war of nations. This series is a battle over politics of a singular city. Kinda puts a wet blanket on most of the potential awesome. Quote Quote Anyone who likes tacos is incapable of logic.

Alg Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 It's also just the first 12 episodes. Plenty of room to improve as the series continues. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 To stray away from Korra for a bit, has anyone else been reading The Promise (Book four of TLAB) at all?

Sir_Squab Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I really feel that the biggest flaw of LoK is that they squeezed it all into 12 episodes. More episodes explaining why the euqalists feel they way they feel, more episodes building up to revealing who Amon is, rather then just revealing it in the final, and more character development for us to get attached to the characters. Some more episodes dealing with Republic city gangs too. I feel that although a bunch of A:TLA episodes were filler, some of them really helped. Like, you could have taken out a lot of episodes of A:TLA and still had a good, coherent plot, but those episodes added to it. The episode where Sokka+Zuko do stuff, the episode where Aang+Zuko do stuff, could be taken out without harming the overall plot but were really helpful, for example. Or Zuko alone. Imo, the show would have been better if they split the first arc over two seasons. (Considering two of their seasons is like 24 episodes long, lol.) Or one full season. I'm guessing dealing with executives has to do with how short it is. The writers may have wanted to finish the first story arc in season one because they were concerned about the show being cancelled after 12 episodes, if the show did poorly. They probably have a contract for 12 episodes in season 1, 14 in season 2, but with the executives having the option to cancel season 2 if season 1 doesn't do well. I know the executives were worried about the show being focused around a female, since conventional TV wisdom is that boys won't watch shows with a girl lead. (It's wrong imo, but that's still what conventional TV wisdom says.) Squab unleashes Megiddo! Completed all quests and hard diaries. 75+ Skiller.

I suggest checking it out - you can find part 1 and 2 online for free right now, so it's worth looking at. There's another comic released called "The Lost Adventures" which is a compilation of several dozen comics that take place throughout books 1, 2 and 3, just to better explain some of the stuff that happened. I suggest checking that out too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
