Why Korra is THE BEST WRITTEN in Avatar | Character Analysis: Korra from "The Legend of Korra"

[@xEventHorizonx]

I'm glad to see someone backing the legend of Korra. This show changed my life. I struggled for so many years with mental health before coming across this show. I watched the entire series in about 3 weeks and was shocked at the transformation Korra went through from season 1 to 4. Seeing her truly suffer, lose everything, and yet somehow stand up at the end of it all shows her inner strength above everything else that scared so many viewers off. Seeing Korra in the season 4 finale was nothing like the Korra that started the show and I think that's the entire point. For me, it gave me hope that I could be a better person. I took back control of my mental health and my life. Even today, six years from when I first saw this show, the impact it had on me remains. Now instead of being consumed by mental illness, I'm healed, successful, and making a positive impact on the world. I have to wonder if I would be the person I am today without this show to give me hope during a very dark time. There will never be another show or character that has impacted me like Korra.

A positive character analysis for Korra?. May G-d be with you.

[@NobodyWhoIsHere]

Korra positivity??? on MY KZbin??? Never did I think I would see the day... lol anyways yes Korra IS the best! S3, I think, is nice in that it does set up some nonlinear development and recovery. Also, love the shade towards the fandom at beginning. Hilarious how the fan perception of the show literally just proves its points even more about letting go of the past, identity, maybe not succeeding or being the best but still worthy of love and all that. Also just realized that on the note of acceptance, B4 is big for that. Accept the whole love triangle whats-its a little before this to set up her relationship with Asami (I mean, accepting and diffusing any animosity between them), accepting her trauma, accepting that Kuivira doesnt need to die or be beaten for this, and, ultimately, accept herself for some self love (finally). Nice video, it was funny and brought up some good points! (came here from reddit. somehow the lok fandom is thriving there in a mildly healthy environment and is also somehow the most active. rip to looking through tumblr and twitter and finding inactivity or hate but hey it brought me here)

[@dr.doctor4878]

I can never hate Korra because of how she learned to be patient and compassionate in the later seasons. Heck, she's very patient and merciful to Kuvira while my friends and I would like her to get laser. Despite, Korra being brash and naive in the early seasons. She is willing to embrace her duty as the Avatar unlike Aang who ran away first. Korra is willing to throw hands with anyone and help others in need

[@tierefuerimmer9635]

Korra was always compassionate though. She just had no concept of interacting with others and her time in Isolation made her naive

[@STG2022]

Finally,someone who actually knows how good Korra is and isn't afraid to say it

[@Universeknight10055]

Avatar korra is one of my favorite characters. I hope avatar studio do more avatar korra and avatar aang and avatar kyoshi and others in the future.

[@08ChrisV]

I have been defending Korra for years!!! I honestly prefer this show over the original even though both are very well written. I just prefer Korra because the issues such as the villains, politics, relationships are all so complex and very much real. Like the way she handles things is how 95% of the human race would probably handle things. Everybody gives her so much shit because she’s unlike Aang that they never really gave her a chance. I love love love that you put she’s a teenager for the first 3 books and reminded us just how sheltered she had been. That’s super important to remember when you have someone who’s supposed to be a diplomat of peace entering the world for the first time. The white lotus said that she neglected her spiritual side, but they also failed to acknowledge that every avatar prior to her got the opportunity to explore the other nations and gain wisdom through their culture and teachings. I could go on and on as to why Korra is just simply a beautiful character but you honestly surmised a great deal of it. Kudos to you!!

[@anni1348]

Finally a positive review on Korra! Everybody shits on that wonderful show and character, and I don't get it. I like how Korra's Character sort of represents what many teenagers go through. She's hotheaded, stubborn, very confident of herself despite having no experience at all, she doesn't care about rules at all and she doesn't think about the consequences of her actions. I also like that Korra has to deal with her new role as Avatar in a different way than Aang. Korra over Identifies herself with this new role and basically builds her entire identity around this role she got forced into. So like many Teenagers Korra has to find her own identity outside of being the avatar, basically by getting, everything she defined as part of, taken away from her (bending, spiritual connection, Strength). And Korra has learn empathy, so she had to understand her enemies to be able to fight them. I loved every season to be honest, even the hated season 2. 😃

[@MsLuckyLucario]

Korra has grown so much and I absolutely love that! I hate, that people say things like "Korrasami came out of nowhere".. Just because it wasn't as "in your face" as Korra's relationship with Mako. People need to keep in mind that back then she was a teenager (like you said) and also I assume that this was her first relationship ever. Also she said it herself, that she hadn't had a girl friend besides Naga, due to the way she grew up. So her social skills on this stuff wouldn't be the best. With Asami, Korra had time to get to really know her till the lines between the feelings of friendship and love blur. Also we don't know if either of the two already knew that they were bi themselves, not to mention if the other is! 🤔 If not, it would be also clear that they would approach this topic slowly. As a gay or bi person that hadn't come out officially it can be "dangerous" to confess your feelings to them, because the last thing you want is to loose that friendship by doing so. The creators made some hints, that some noticed instantly, others not at all or interpret differently. One small detail I noticed many people have overlooked was that Asami had painted her satomobil blue while Korra was gone... For a girl like Asami that is NOT a coincidence!

[@Brycki404]

I think you’re just inserting the gay part into the story. You’re taking things way past face value so you have something to relate to. Two girls holding hands while facing eachother before going on a much needed vacation gives no indication of romanticism. Imagine if Mako and Baolin had their arms around each others shoulders as they walk into that portal, couldn’t it just be brotherly love? See? I think you’re just projecting onto the story. They did this with Spider Gwen too just because of her outfits colors resembling a flag.

[@MsLuckyLucario]

@@Brycki404 did you even read my comment? To back up your opinion with one thing I didn't even talked about is kinda sus. But to the hand holding scene: just one example, there is a scene where Zaheer and P'Li stand just like that, holding hands, staring in each other eyes, and they had been shown kissing. I don't know about you, but for me (and many other people), that's way to intimate in a romantic way. Even for two girls. If the same scene would have been about Bolin and Mako, it would be just very weird, BECAUSE they are brothers. (to the other show you have mentioned I can't say anything, because I've not watched it)

[@selinarose6922]

Came here from your reddit post. This is exactly what KZbin amazing analysis ❤️

[@Enderflame_303]

This was an awesome analysis 🧐 🎉 I’ll watch LOK again when I get the chance to caus it’s too good ! And moreover, who can forget Korrasami? Like it’s THE BEST SHIPS SO FAR. who agrees ?

[@queshabesha]

I ❤ Korrasami from the start of the show

[@n.s4122]

Sorry haters, I think The Legend of Korra is better than Avatar the Last Airbender. Korra gets undeserved hate and it's time that ends.

[@charlizedejonghe350]

So trueee ❤❤❤❤

[@Akira-MonomiOriginal]

Very based

[@NotMelonLord]

You're telling me that an undercooked show with a poorly written story (On most of it) is better than one of the most beloved shows in history, and you don't even give a reasonable explanation, she doesn't get undeserved hate, most of the people who don't like the show or the characters have very reasonable explanations, she caused most of her enemies, her avatar state was a joke, she lost connection to the avatar's past lives (purposely or not) and I can't forget that her team avatar (specially Asami) was pretty much underdeveloped and they didn't even felt like friends, the whole team feels like they just know each other somehow. So, no TLOK isn't better than ATLA (It is like comparing the first 3 seasons of SpongeBob to season 4-10, one is obviously better than the other one)

[@n.s4122]

I think TLOK is better than ATLA and I have very good reasons to think so. Korra had an amazing character development. If you look Korra from Book 4 to Book 1, she changed so much. Even in Book 1, she got good character development. Most people who hate Korra just hate because it's not a carbon copy of Avatar and just make excuses to prove they are not biased. The villains in Korra are so much better than Ozai. It's not Korra's fault she lost the Avatar State. People just make it out she did on purpose. If you watched the show properly without any bias, you would know it's not her fault at all and so are other problems the show has. TLOK has flaws like any show but most people just exaggerate how bad those problems are. Korra's supporting characters also got decent development. Asami, Mako and Bolin have good development especially in Book 4. Tenzin also has great development. I watched Avatar and didn't like it. After only watching TLOK, I started to appreciate Avatar. TLOK will always be better than Avatar for me.

[@nicholaswilkerson4394]

This is SUCH a breath of fresh air. Was LoK perfect? Of course not. But is there anything that truly justifies the opinion that the show itself was a bad one? Absolutely not.

[@AdeptusSteve]

Man you made all the right points. Well obviously there is many more to make, but how much can you fit in 8minutes right? Love the video. I think if people would stop to consider how Korra grew, what circumstances formed her going in at the start ofthe show and what struggles and growth she went through in the 4 seasons, they would learn to appreciate her the way you so beautifully illustrate here. I also really love how the creators built up her relationship with Asami. Many people criticize "woke decisions" like gay relationships when they are a blatant political checkbox forced by the execs at the expense of character and/or story. But Korrasami couldnt be further from that. The buildup to their relationship was so nuanced and embedded in their character and development -at least to the extent the creators were allowed by nickelodeon at the time, I always shed a little tear of joy in that final scene when they hold hands entering the spirit portal. Anyone who watched the whole show with a grain of thought and still saying it was just a forced political checkbox should really question if they might not really just be a bit homophobic.

[@muriok2474]

I'm a big fan of korra and appreciate any video that gets the character

[@Brycki404]

Don’t get me wrong, ATLA was amazing!.. but TLOK is just what I was yearning for. I needed this show. The emotions in this show are just so raw and beautiful. Was there some questionable writing at some points? Sure, but I still love it. I want more of Korra!

[@Juno_Solanaceae]

8:03 Avatar's always leaned towards the progressive side of things. ATLA for instance is such an explicitly feminist piece of fiction. No one bats an eye to that, and yet when the LOK does similar things (this time being very implicitly feminist, and having a queer ending) people are suddenly up in arms. Like, huh??? That's just what avatar does! It's just an inherantly progressive franchise!

YIPPE POSITIVE KORRA VIDEO

[@Xtermenator217]

I find it funny that people complain that female characters are often written without flaws and hate them (ex. Rey) but when a female character is written with flaws like being abrasive mad hot head like Korra they still hate them.

[@faz3906]

Great video. I hate when people criticize a show for being “political” because there’s a gay character or even a character that is a person of color. Newsflash: ALL ART IS POLITICAL, REGARDLESS OF CHARACTER SEXUALITY OR RACE. Like do these people not see the political undertones of this show? Zaheer is a literal anarchist. Kuvira is a fascist. GamerGate has had terrible implications on the way society views art (whether it be film, TV, video games, etc). These people did not pay attention in English class

[@samuelclayhills3298]

You forgot to put a "." at the end of your last sentence thus invalidating your whole point by failing at such easy grammar.

[@faz3906]

@@samuelclayhills3298 I find it interesting that instead of arguing against any of the actual points I made, you point out some inconsequential grammatical error as if that has any actual bearing on my argument. It’s almost as if you’re incapable of engaging with media and instead have to resort to right wing talking points and lame attacks at one’s grammar just so you can feel superior. Feel however you want, just know that people who are LGBTQ+ do exist and they deserve a place in media just as much as anyone else. I strongly suggest you dig deep within yourself and ask why you are made uncomfortable by the presence of gay people in a TV show. You need to think for yourself and stop listening to these lunatics online who say that Korra is a ‘political’ character just because she is gay, or that any character is ‘political’ just by being gay or trans or not white. Please look within yourself and see that these people, like you, deserve to be loved. Do not bring hate to people who have done nothing to harm you.

[@anni1348]

And Amon is an Communist who wants "Equality". And I guess Unalaq would fit as Tradionalism and Theocracy because he wants to keep spiritual traditions (and criticizes the lack of those in modern society) while achieving destruction/darkness and he sees himself determined to be an spiritual/religious leading figure.

[@Skifreak-nv7ej]

Heres an actual argument for you. First off korrasami is at best, poorly shown. There are 3 scenes before the hand holding one that barely explain their relationship being more than just friends. They hug, blush at eachother and asami wrote to Korra a lot. Them being in love is not a problem, but it was clearly hamfisted in for progressive points. It was more of an afterthought until the literal end. If they really cared about lgbtq people, their relationship would be extensively shown. Now you could say that the producers would not allow it but if that was true (it probably was) then don’t do a piss poor job of showing rarely respected minorities. If their love was actually written in the show in more than one scene and was written well than homophobic people might actually see queer people as people. I know we shouldn’t have to hand hold people who don’t see others as fellow human beings, but when it comes to the entertainment industry you kinda have to, or just poorly write a relationship with the main character at the end of the show.

[@tiki-tikikoa]

I’m sorry… But I prefer LOK over ATLA

[@JohnnyNuelo]

I just gotta hard disagree. I think 4 of the Gaang members (the OG trio and zuko) All have much better arcs than Korra. Mainly since Korra for the first two seasons doesn’t really have a good arc. That mainly comes down to the execs meddling but still, to say that Korra is the best written character or that she has the best arc, especially when compared to Zuko, who has one of the best redemption arcs in story telling that I’ve ever SEEN. I really gotta emphasize that mainly because people try and defend Korra by saying her journey was similar to zuko’s. While I love S3 and S4 of Korra and I think there are moments where they even surpass the original show, overall I just can’t agree. Good video though many good points❤

[@TV-Wins]

I totally get that- Zuko’s arc is amazing. Definitely not trying to take away from that. But thank you for disagreeing respectfully! Lots of Korra discourse is not this nice

[@JohnnyNuelo]

@@TV-Wins I did used to be a hardcore Korra hater but that was when I had only watched the first two seasons and hadnt really known all the of the difficulties the creators had to deal with… plus I was just a lot younger! Now having watched the show several times, I do enjoy Korra’s arc, especially over seasons 3 and 4! While there are definitely overall arcs and points of the show that I felt were lacking, it is still a good continuation and sequel to the original show. I love this world and any type of additions made by the original creators is welcomed with open arms by me!

[@anni1348]

But isn't the same happening with Aang throughout the entire ATLA series, while no one complains about it? Like Aang has throughout the entire show no Confidence in himself, he's constantly busy doubting his own abilities, over and over again, whenever a problem comes up he's just like "But what if I'm not strong enough, what if I can't do it". Aang also has difficulties to accept his role/responsibility as an Avatar, so he constantly runs away from his problems/avoids fights and he always wants to fool around/enjoy his childhood instead: So whenever Aangs faces/fights an enemy at the end of an season, he's insecure about himself, avoiding and childish again, in the next season (like at the end of Season 1 he first doubts that he can beat the firenation and says he's just a child. But then He uses the Ocean/Moon Spirit and the Avatar State to fight the firenations battle Ships at the end. And at the beginning of season 2 he doubts again, that he even can control the avatar state at all. At the end of season 2 he doubts himself, but then he's there to fight Azula. But then at the beginning of season 3 episode 1 he literally runs away from his responsibility again and almost gets drown in the ocean. Then in season 3 as well, he is ready to fight at the black sun against the fire nation and then in the western air temple episode he literally runs away from Katara/Sokka/Toph because he doesn't want to talk about his future plans/responsibility to fight the firenation). It's the same with the Avatar State, he can't control it over and over again, until the very last minute of his final battle with Ozai, where he runs away from his problem/Ozai at first and where he reaches the avatar state accidentally by getting pushed against a rock. And I'm sorry to break your little bubble: It's exactly the same with Zuko, he's obsessing over his father's acceptance/his honor over and over again, he battles with himself over and over again, reaches a point where he overcomes his flaws and does become a good person, but then falls back into old habits again (like at the end of season 2, where he connects with Katara but then decides to fight on Azula side to get his father's acceptance). So I guess the problem here are more so the unattainable expectations that people have. You Guys just don't understand that Characters don't overcome an flaw and then are suddenly "healed forever". Like humans they constantly fall back into old unhealthy habits after overcoming an character flaw/insecurity. So in that term Korra and Aang who both overcome their flaws at some point but fall back into old habits again, is an extremely realistic representation, especially to showcase that even an god-like figure like the Avatar is just an regular human with flaws and struggles/unhealthy habits.

[@JohnnyNuelo]

@@anni1348 I don’t understand the point you’re trying to make? Korra’s arc isn’t really similar to anyone’s, mainly due to her origin and Start as the avatar. Aang ran away from his identity and responsibility as the avatar, Korra embraced and overzealously took her role as the avatar for granted. I’m not saying Korra has a bad arc. I may be mistaken but I thought I only disagreed on her arc being the best in the entirety of avatar. Aang’s journey was about accepting his role as the avatar, sokka’s journey was about becoming a leader and unlearning toxic behavior, katara’s journey was about learning her own power, forgiveness, and understanding her role in the group as a whole, Toph learned to rely on others, zuko had one of the best redemption arcs of all time, and Korra had a fantastic arc in seasons 3 and 4 after the writers were given more breathing room. Nowhere in my original comment did I say Korra’s arc was bad, at least overall. While I don’t like the first two seasons, it’s got much less to do with Korra and more with the narrative as a whole, though Korra definitely had an entire arc reset for seemingly no reason after season 1, and didn’t really seem to learn much overall in both seasons. And trying to compare the Gaang to Korra isn’t really legitimate, seeing as the regressions you described with the Gaang all have understandable reasons as to why they happen. We KNOW why aang ran away, we KNOW why katara is so bossy, we KNOW why it takes sokka so long to fully realize himself and become confident in his leadership and know when to let aang take the reigns. We don’t know why Korra abuses her avatar state and Airbender abilities, we don’t know why she can just suddenly become a kaiju spirit after meditating for 30 Seconds, we don’t know why aang can suddenly energy bend Korra’s abilities back, even though they weren’t taken away by energy bending and should theoretically not be able to return it without some form of blood bending/healing since that’s how the connection was severed. But some of those points are moot, so I’ll digress. The main thing I want to emphasize is that you’re arguing points I didn’t try to make. I don’t really understand why you’re trying so hard to argue when I’m not really saying anything overtly negative about Korra. All I’m saying is that I personally disagree and think that the Gaang had better arcs. I’m not saying Korra has the worst arc or that her arc is even bad/mediocre. So again, I’m confused on what you’re trying to argue, since your points on regression don’t really apply to Korra on where I’m critical of her arc, that being in seasons 1&2. Her regressions make sense in 3&4 because they were more planned out. Furthermore the hostility and negative attitude you’ve got really made me question if I even wanted to respond. But nonetheless, I hope you have a good day, you can be aggressive if you want but tbh that won’t make your points any less nonsensical.

Where did the writers actually say Korra turned gay for Asami? Aren’t they just friends lol? Girls hold hands all the time, that doesn’t mean it’s romantic. Just because love is shown doesn’t mean the gay community can jump to conclusions and claim it as gay. I didn’t take the last episode as anything more than friends because I choose to take shows at face value.

[@DragonKingMadaraUchiha]

Legend of Korra is a garbage Series People don't like Korra. Because she gets everything handed to her on a silver platter without her having to work for any of it. She constantly pulls new abilities out of nowhere. And she never has to suffer any consequences. Korra often complains for completely asinine reasons & tends to blame everyone else but herself for her problems. For example Korra gets 3 of the 4 elements mastered as a toddler with no explanation. Aang only has expertise in Airbending as a young teenager after being taught by several mentors for multiple years. Korra gets her bending taken away from her by Amon. Then she magically gains the ability to use Airbending. Then by the last episode of the same season. She magically gains a mastery of all 4 elements and the Avatar State. She magically learns Energybending and she can now restore people's bending. And this happens multiple times.After Unalaq rips out the newly retconned Raava out of Korra and destroys it. Korra magically regains her Avatar powers and learns a new ability out of nowhere. A giant Energy Construct. That's just some of the many problems that plague Legend of Korra. Aang has to train and work hard for every new ability he gains. The few times Aang ever gets upset. Its because he lost a close friend or is dealing with understandable PTSD from all the trauma he went through. Korra on the other hand is complaining far more often over far more petty reasons like teenage angst & romance. Its not a matter of "Aang complaining equals empowerment". Its a matter of Korra being poorly written. I say this as someone who loves many female protagonists especially from cartoons e.g. Kim Possible, Lilo, Powerpuff Girls, Ahsoka Tano, Abigail Lincoin and so on. Its not that Korra is a female. I disliked most of the characters from Legend of Korra, whether male or female. With the only exception being Tenzin. Heck Toph Beifong is my all time favorite character from the original ATLA series. With Zuko being second and Aang being third. Honestly most Avatar fans loved Toph and Katara. Because they earned everything they got. They were well developed and complex. Yes she is a Mary Sue. Because she gets everything handed to her on a silver platter without her having to work for any of it. She constantly pulls new abilities out of nowhere. And she never has to suffer any consequences. Korra often complains for completely asinine reasons & tends to blame everyone else but herself for her problems.

Aang did not learn energybending magically. Aang before his final battle with Ozai. He met a Lion Turtle who taught him about the power of Energy Bending which was separate from Elemental Bending. Not really a deus ex machina. Since it happened before the final battle, it did not contradict any of the previously established rules. On that note, Aang didn't even use Energybending to defeat Ozai. Aang beat Ozai using the four elements and his avatar state alone. Aang only used Energybending after Ozai had already been defeated and captured. So no. That is not remotely the same to Korra pulling new abilities out of nowhere to defeat a previously invincible enemy and win every battle at the last possible minute. Then we have Korra who magically pulled dozens of new abilities out of nowhere which contradicted every previously established rule in the Avatar Universe. Aang gave Korra Energybending? Since when is that how it works? If Previous Avatars can just give techniques to New Avatars. Then why didn't Aang & Roku just give Korra all of the Elements when she was a baby instead of just wasting time. Its clearly a deus ex machina that doesn't really make any sense. Korra didn't learn airbending at all. Korra didn't even make the slightest of effort to listen to Tenzin or follow any of his listens. And no, Probending does not teach airbending in any way. Amon took all of Korra's bending. He defeated Korra. Then Korra magically used Airbending out of nowhere after it was established that she lost all of her bending abilities. That is a clear deus ex machina. Korra's losses were temporary at best. And only existed to drum up false tension. It was a clear cycle. Korra loses a few times to the Major Antagonist to drum up false tension. Then at the end of the arc. Korra gains an Overpowered new ability right out of nowhere to defeat the previously invincible villain. Korra didn't have any trauma or PTSD. She was in a wheelchair offscreen during a time skip while the writers Mike & Bryan desperately try to make you feel sorry for her. They had to handicap her in an incredibly forced contrived way to desperately try to get the audience to feel sorry for her. And it completely failed. Korra gained Metalbending through a deus ex machina instantly. Korra gained 3 of the 4 Elements as a Toddler because she was a poorly written Mary Sue. Aang earned everything he got through hard work, training and character development. He was a friendly, naive and innocent child who developed into a mature, responsible and reliable role model. That is exactly why Avatar : The Last Airbender is universally loved and Legend of Korra is universally hated. Korra always had it easy. She got everything she wanted on a silver platter. Never suffered any real consequences for her actions.

Never suffered? You're just yapping

It wasen't even really politics at best it was a petty attempt to spite nickolodeon at worst it was a pathetic attempt to stay relevant witch they absolutley failed at.

[@TV-Wins]

As a matter of fact, this isn’t true! I’ve heard that speculation before, but the creators actually stated that they started feeling that way near the end of Book Two, so that’s why Books Three and Four spent so much time with the two of them alone. Plus, there were characters that were queer-coded long before they felt comfortable putting it out there. Fun fact: Aunt Kya is a confirmed lesbian! Always has been!

They failed? KorrAsami kick started so much representation in animation.

This is either a april fools video that was delayed or you are simply a Korra shill. Smh.

[@faz3906]

You forgot to put “an” before April Fools thus invalidating your point by failing such easy grammar.

You just want to hate and don't even notice the good parts of the show. You just focus on small bad parts and treat it like it's a sin.

[@mujuik-sama9539]

though korra ended up being well developed, the show itself was still painfull to watch, at least when I watched it I had to take a break of 3 months while watching it

[@anni1348]

Okay, that's really overdramatic here. 😂 Maybe you just need to understand that the show isn't a copy of ATLA and the main storyline and characters are totally different from ATLA. Korra is not like Aang and that's absolutely fine. 😉

[@jihosz]

pls why are y'all like this lmaooo

[@huskyxrichie6656]

Why are the people in this fandom so dramatic?? A 3 month break?? 😂

[@macdonaldchaboka6117]

Korra sucks, she got character development in reverse, lost connection to past avatars,lost her bending, lost her legs and was beaten by tophs supposed successor, she sucks

[@n.s4122]

You would have noticed her character development if you weren't too busy on hating it. You just don't want to see it just to validate you're right.

[@user-qv5jg9mr5s]

You're way impatient to understand her character instead complaining try to understand her character

[@pharaohkai1]

It was a nice attempt but Korra had no growth, it was rushed and every issue was resolved by a boss battle, which is ironic.

[@n.s4122]

Korra had very huge growth. Every season she grows into a more compassionate person. Korra from Season 1 to Season 4 is a very different character. You would have noticed it if you weren't too busy on hating it.

[@pharaohkai1]

@@n.s4122 not hating just stating the obvious, which you would’ve seen if you weren’t simping

[@n.s4122]

@@pharaohkai1 Hating is exactly what you're doing. You are too blinded by your hate to see how much Korra has grown throughout the seasons. Korra went from headstrong girl with no patience who would charge into a fight without thinking to a compassionate person who thinks before fighting. You are too busy comparing her to Aang and ATLA to notice any of these things. You just want TLOK to be exact copy of ATLA. Korra gets way too much undeserved hate and it's time this ended.

[@pharaohkai1]

@@n.s4122 not at all I’m being objective something you are unable to do. Also You can’t understand criticism. I didn’t mention Aang or ATLA you did showing that you don’t have any valid points

[@n.s4122]

Korra becomes more and more compassionate and understanding each season. Korra not having development is not objective at all. If you had just watched it with open mind without being blinded by hate, then you would see it. The people who hate Korra are the people who constantly compare it to ATLA and Aang and get over the fact that it's trying to tell a different story than ATLA rather than being a carbon copy of ATLA.
