this is what i meant.
This paints the fandom in a bad light, not the show itself
Wow, way to be completely rude and a prick. kitten you too, I say. I put up with enough crap from everyone else, I don't need it here.
Whoa
Calm down, I didn't insult you or anything so I could I have been rude? I thought we were all somewhat friends here
don't you think this is a little too much just because I disagreed with your POV ??
.......Yeah, no. Sorry, but all the social media websites tell a completely different story and yes, I saw Korra, but I was bored. Whenever I talk to fans about Korra, all I ever hear is how awesome Korrasami is and how unique the writers are for making that the ending. 9 times out of ten, it has nothing to do with what Korra was like as character and people point out that "buy-curious" joke over and over pointing out how it "hinted at since the beginning."
So what if you were bored? Okay you didn't liked the series for whatever reason, that's fine too
Yeah, Korra fandom got kind of screwed up after the ending with them only focused on the main canon pairing but you can find rare gems here and there, besides just because a series has a kitten fandom doesn't means it's bad
TLA had the same problem btw, the zutara x kataang wars were pretty problematic as well
Really, who the hell are you to judge me like that? If you want to think the story was great and fine that's your opinion, but Aang's story is a lot more memorable than Korra and so it is mediocre. Of course, with how good Aang's story was, how could Korra compete? It is like trying to reinvent the wheel. Toph becoming an old women and calling Korra twinkle toes was funny, but also kind of Yoda/Luke style with her being in that jungle environment. Interesting, but at the same time it kind of felt disappointing. Not sure why. Maybe because I don't like to think of the characters as being old and dying and wanted to keep the original memories as they were. "When Legend becomes fact, print the legend."
I'm not judging you dude, stop being paranoid, I merely thought you didn't watched it because your opinion demonstrated that you didn't
I already explained the differences between Korra and Aang journeys, please read my last post again, I think they're both good because each MC is different and so they grow in a different manner, you didn't appreciate Korra's growth, that's fine it just wasn't your cup of tea, just don't try to deny it and make it so " it never happened"
You wanted Toph and the others to remain young? Uhh...I honestly don't know what to say about that, I mean time passes for everyone, I'm glad Avatar didn't became something like pokemon where Ash has like 10 years forever.
I actually had more enjoyment seeing Toph bond with her daughters than I did watching Korra.
See, this is what I remember the most. Not Korra or any of her endeavors, but of the stories of what happened to the characters from the first series. That's what I wanted to know more. I didn't really find any appeal to half the cast because they were either copy paste from Aang's stuff or I just didn't find them interesting. Maybe I expected too much or maybe the series is overhyped.
You can read the series of comic books from dark horse that details the search for Zuko's mom if you miss the old characters that much
Honestly, I think your main problem is because the series wasn't the way you wished it to be.
It's fine the way it is and I don't find the characters a copy paste from the old ones ( Korra definitely isn't a copy paste of Aang) except maybe for Bolin being the designated comic relief like Sokka was, if you didn't managed to appreciate the story wouldn't it be just better if you dropped it?
Well, in that case, Bolt the movie is the most amazing story ever since "it is a lot more different series from Naruto." Which is basically what you are saying and of course, you looked at what I said all the wrong way when I was poking at the fans. NOT the series itself. The FANS who seemed to give more kittens about the pairings than the actual plot.
Bolt isn't acutally more different than the series, it's still the same damn thing plus daddy issues plus technology and really just because something is different doesn't mean it's good and I never said that
Well, you called the series "mediocre", at some point your hate for the fanbase became a hate for the series as well I guess
My POINT was that series itself wasn't that great, but people only saw it great because of the bisexual lovers Korrasami. That's all I ever saw on websites and media sites when the series ended was how the series was so great because the main character was bisexual and got with another bisexual. When I bring this up, a good portion of people I talk to actually agreed with me. I wish I could find the tumblr post that explained this better that I can. I'll keep searching.
And my point is that the series is bigger than the pairing that got confirmed in the ending, people just make a big deal because it's a homosexual relationship in a western cartoon which is unusual, but by no means was the Korra series supposed to be the love story of Korra and Asami, Korra is supposed to represent a coming of age story as I already said before
So, in a way, the fandom is at fault for focusing on only one aspect of the ending but the complainers are too for basically doing the same thing as the fandom
So, yeah, go kitten yourself and actually read my posts next time. I am tired of trying to be nice and get kitten on by people like this. Also thanks for acting just like the pro-enders except with Korra. "You didn't watch Korra/you didn't read the manga"
There you go insulting me again when I never did that to you, honestly in all my months here in this site and the many discussions I had here you're probably the most rude person I've met
I already said I didn't get the impression you watched Korra at all because you called the series mediocre and only talked about the main pairing ( which is a very small part of the story) and the fandom
Pls, pro enders don't act like that, then y insult you and bring up the canon thing everytime while being rude about it, if anything your disposition is the one similar to pro enders unfortunately
Yeah...exactly the same in almost every way. The only difference is the Korra writers didn't butcher their characters to appease a paring fandom.
And Kishi did it because he was a bad writer
And no, I am not apologizing because you hurt my feelings. I get this crap enough from pro-enders and Naruto wannabe's all the time, but to get it here.....yeah, no, I am not having that. This is exactly why I don't like coming back here because of people like you. All you did was put words in my mouth and accused me of things I did not say. What, did I strike a nerve or something? I am so sick of people always acting all superior believing that only their opinion matters and then getting made when people disagree. Like spoiled brats who can't accept reality.
Seriously? Wtf, I disagreed with you and explained my reasons perfectly, I never insulted you in any shape or form while you said "kitten you" to me twice!! Seriously man, calm down. I think your discussions on tumblr have been taking a toll in your psyche or something because seriously, to get this worked up just because of a disagreement like this one?
Look, I saw you calling the series mediocre because of the pairing and the fandom and I explained why it isn't like that
You didn't like the series? Fine, to each his own, just don't try to say it was kitten because the Korrasami pairing happened maybe you didn't liked the way the pairing was developed but in the grand theme of the soty, the pairing was ultimately irrelevant
The korra situation is not the same as Naruto, there the pairing didn't give us any negative message and it didn't was there just to milk the series more, it also didn't butchered characters and ended up helping in screwing up the history
Seriously I was deciding on reporting you for insulting me twice without a reason but I decided on not doing it since you're obviously not your normal self right now, chill and I will just accept an apology later
