Avatar: The Legend of Korra

[Prim]

Toph needs to Chibaku Tensei everything in sight. Give me that and all this PTSD nonsense will be forgiven.

Spoiler: show

Finally an episode without Korra pussying out. Also Toph is going to wreck some shit.

[Dantrag]

I actually liked the last two eps.

[Adajer]

Korra looks good back in her Water Tribe get up and short hair. Asami looks like she's fin 50

[Woozer]

Just watched the latest episode. Prepare your tables for flipping.

Spoiler: show

It's a fucking half-assed clip show.

Kind of pissed off/irked by it, but whatever. It's a completely forgettable and dissapointing episode, but here's some interesting insights into why they did it. http://bryankonietzko.tumblr.com/pos...ut-episode-408

Could have been worse for a clip show I suppose. First 2 parts were boring but serviceable; I assume they're trying to set up character motivations as clearly as possible going forward. At least Varrik managed to make the last third genuinely entertaining.

[Dantrag]

I don't get why Nick was being such douches with Legend of Korra. After the beginning of season 1 this show really took off. I just don't understand wtf is in their minds. They finally get a show that bridges the gap between kids and adults and then don't fund it? Do they not realize how wide reaching of an audience this has? Most of us here are in our late 20's and early 30's and love the fuck out of shit like this. This Avatar series is one of the ONLY things that Nick has produced in the past 15 years that has been anywhere near good. The rest of their shit is just dribble and trash. There is hardly any quality in their shows anymore. Why do they think so many people prefer Anime? Outside of around maybe 10 shows in the past 20 years there hasn't been anything good. While with anime you have at least 2-3 shows that are top tier. I just don't get it.

Perhaps even this should be in a spoiler, but based on the posts above I am not even going to bother watching it today. Probably just quick before next week's episode.

Dantrag, it's probably because many of the 20-30 year olds you speak of won't sit and watch it on Friday night on TV, and not many of em would buy toys.

No sponsors, no toys = no money.

Plus the first two years seemed like all the internet did was whine about Korra.

No but I'm still going to show my kid the series and I'm sure as hell going to buy the blu-rays. Thing was there wasn't even any toys that I knew of for TLA.

[Serra]

I don't think I've ever seen a Korra toy.. Now I want this:

Wonder what the profit releasing stuff straight to DVd/blu-ray Vs. advertisement income are.

[Dantrag]

I bet if they just went with Kickstart they would get more than what Nick gives them.

Spoiler: show

From the look of the coming episode (im a week behind) toph is gonna smash some earth soldier faces for fuckin with her forest and tree.

[Zumi]

They should of released this with the next episode that way people would be less pissed off.

[Sunrider]

Varrick made it worth watching (like he usually does), but with only 12 episodes in a season, we really don't need to waste time on flashbacks.

[Athas]

I guess it was nice of them to acknowledge season 2 as being the weakest. I mean when your main villain starts calling himself a "Dark X" it just gives off an impression of laziness.

[Cliron]

Was hard to notice because of the blue light. But, Giant Bolin.

So, in case it hasn't been mentioned already, Ep. 8 is Nickelodeon's fault:

A few preemptive words about Episode 408, “Remembrances”…
In a couple hours the eighth chapter of Korra Book 4 will be released online, and I suppose, if you are none the wiser, a few minutes into it you will feel duped and yell at your screen, “Hey! This is a crummy clips episode!” And that is (almost) exactly what it is––except we all worked really hard to make sure at the very least it isn’t crummy. I’m here to explain why we ended up having to do one. Sometime around a year and a half ago we were similarly duped on a large scale. We got the news from the higher-ups that our Book 4 budget was getting slashed, almost to the tune of an entire episode’s budget. We had two options: 1) let go a significant number of crew members several weeks early, or 2) make a clips episode. We never considered the first option. We weren’t going to do that to our crew, and even if we were callous enough to do so, we never would have been able to finish the season without them. But having grown up on TV in the ’80s and ’90s, we all dread clips episodes, where characters sit around saying, “Remember that time when…” and leftover footage is reheated for no one’s enjoyment. Anyone who suffered through TNG’s “Shades of Gray” knows what I’m talking about.
