My thoughts exactly. That character couldn't get anything right and even til the very end still acted like she was never sure of what she was suppose to do as an Avatar. The writers got lazy by opting to make her the opposite of Aang & ended up crapping on everything the Avatar was. IMO, if contrast was what they were looking for, having a series on Kyoshi would've been 100x better. Kyoshi was a straight up gangsta. If you haven't seen that video, highly recommend.

[@minatodroger7890]

Its funny and sad that this is true

[@fishfrogs8231]

To all the Korra haters, I see no problem with her series. The modernisation and the ‘loss of the connection of past avatars’ is just something that I think is realistic, and somehow this ‘ruins everything’. In real life, shit happens. Life tries to throw everything it can at you, but the world can’t stay perfect forever, so making the journey without the help of past lives just strengthens the character even more. Which seems like a good thing to be honest. Accept the fact that times change, the good times don’t last forever, and the world doesn’t stay as some ancient world. Just pasting this so naive people realise.

The end of the Avatar cycle is pretty heartbreaking but it might've been something that was supposed to happen.

If you recall when The Gaang goes to the air temple and they see all the statues of the past avatars lined in a spiral, there were only two empty spots left, One for Aang's statue and one for Korra before the spiral ended and there wasn't any more room for any more statues. I'm sure this could just be a huge coincidence but honestly, it seems like it was meant to be which could explain why all the past avatars were pretty calm as they disintegrated into nothing too.

She failed more than once. It's also due to her annoying personality, her belligerence, and her lack of anything resembling emotional or mental maturity. She also failed colossally by losing the past lives. It doesn't help that her story is disjointed, her character being one of reversion (her comics took any progression and shit on them), and she proves she isn't all hot shit frequently. She literally proves Amon's point in Season 1 when a Non-Bender is protesting Benders as being oppressors via megaphone. She then proceeds to toss him into a shop, thereby oppressing and infringing upon his rights. Instead of hearing him out she assaults his ass. This was to show progression later, but it's just one example. There are plenty more.

Xman34 Less unpopular opinion: LOK would have been better if it had a different MC. There was some good/interesting characters, but Korra wasn’t one of them.

[@theoneandonlyquasarsaurus]

Corey Klaustermeier it could’ve been better but it was just trying to be ATLA and failed, becoming a show without its own identity

[@coreyklaustermeier7329]

Braedon knott There were aspects of LOK that I liked, but many, many more that I didn’t like. For instance: I liked how the bending (especially metal bending) evolved and changed; It was interesting and felt like something that would believably happen. However I didn’t like the way the technology advanced so much. In ATLA it was a relatively small plot point to assist whichever side was using it, but bending was still the real power in the world. In LOK technology completely overshadowed everything else and the bending took a back seat (the most blatant example being in season four. I mean, who watched ATLA and thought “This needs a 50 ft tall mecha suit destroying a city”). And with Korra, I liked that she was an anti-Aang. That could be a really interesting idea if it’s done well. I like the idea of an Avatar that loves being the Avatar and can be rash and impulsive at times, but I feel like Korra’s character can be summed up by her first line. “I’m the Avatar, you gotta deal with it,” she is just so spoiled and entitled and rarely gets corrected for it. That just doesn’t make a likable protagonist that we should root for. There is more I could talk about but I have a feeling you don’t wanna read too long of a rant, if that’s something you feel like debating about though let me know. And, obviously, these are just my opinions, feel free to debate them or present your own views about either show.

As far as I understood, the Roku's island is practically Kyoshi-island of the fire nation. They are technically a part of the main kingdom but due to the Roku's conflict with the fire lord, they were probably pretty much independent.

Seeing Rava getting 'killed' was the most painful thing for me in the Avatar franchise. I hope they retcon this and have Korra meditate for a x amount of years, to regain the connection. If Korra pulls this through, and sacrifices a big chunk of her lifespan for the Avatar cycle, then that would be the biggest sacrifice she would have made, and could earn her great respect.

Sozin's behavior towards Roku's confrontation regarding the colony was actually explained in the Kyoshi novels: Avatar Szeto ("Jafar" lite aka Yangchen's predecessor) actually worked under his Fire Lord, starting from the bottom and climbed the ranks as a bureaucrat as well as accountant at that time the Fire Nation was experiencing internal trouble (corruption, fractious nobility, etc.), and due to Szeto's efficiency, the Fire Nation became prosperous so because of that, Sozin (and subsequently Kyoshi's Earth King) thought Roku would emulate Szeto
