Avatar fans?

[coolcoolcool]

Started watching it a couple weeks into Christmas. I'm done the Last Air Bender and already going through season 2 of The Legend of Korra.

I'm absolutely addicted. 

Also, I only watch dubbed anime, but if you are a fan of anything else feel free to let me know. I never thought I'd watch anything outside Dragon Ball and Pokemon, but I was definitely wrong.

LOK S2 was probably the worst of the series, so if you're addicted now, than you will surely be addicted to three and four. It's too bad that the channel that 'shall not be named' refused to fund or support it completely. It's a great series. It just didn't satisfy the demographic they sing to.

I enjoy it a lot. When it first came out I was really skeptical because i just assumed they were trying to make a westernized version of anime. It seemed to me at the time they were just trying to ride the anime popularity band wagon. I'm glade i gave it a chance.

I wish there was more stuff like it. It's a shame we live in a world where creative ideas are pushed aside in favor of what people think will get them the money.

I wish LOK ended differently but I really love the series - all I will say on the matter to avoid spoilers for the show :3

You didn't like how it ended? I thought they were doing the fans a great service...

The shipping part has nothing to do with my feelings, just it didn't end with how new team avatar I felt needed to be closed.

I think it's one of my favourite TV series ever, animated or live action. Absolutely love it. I've seen the first two books of Korra, and I enjoy that too. I really liked the one where they showed how the first Avatar was created.

I hear a lot of people say S2 was the worst in the series, but I personally felt like S1 was. They're both pretty close though, in general I definitely think Korra got better as the series went on (and very, very rarely came close to being as good as TLA was). Whether you prefer S1 or S2, I still say S2 has the best episodes in the series.

I must be one of the weird ones then because I felt the shipping came out of no where. It's great that they decided to do something so brave. For me though it was just a big " huh?" moment. Nothing in their interaction seemed to be anything more then friendship for me. Maybe it was just really subtle though and just went over my head.

 I feel like some things were not completely resolved. For instance some thing that happens in LoKS2 will have an effect on korra for a while,  and  we don't really get an idea of what this will mean other then a few throwaway lines. Also like ashycat! it seems  team Korra doesn't get as much attention or focus as I think it should of.

It just all seemed kind of rushed. All the build up and the ending just didn't really live up to the hype. It was good but it just wasn't as good as they were making it out to be. But I suppose thats what happens when budget is tight and you lose funding. *CoughNickolodiansucksCough*

Book 4. Just, Book 4 (also, it's the final season of Korra).

Book 2 was, yes, in fact the worst of the 4 Books. Jua?, I'll say it for you: Nickelodeon sucks (in the sense that they didn't support Korra).

Fair enough

The plot in S1 was much better than the one in S2, but you're right, Korra did grow throughout the series.

Oooh! I love Avatar! I've only watched S1 of LoK though... I'll eventually get myself into S2+ but I'm catching up on other stuff. I would recommend a few anime but most of the ones I love are subbed, not dubbed lol. Love DBZ & Sailor Moon though. Grew up on those and Card Captor Sakura (all available dubbed). Um... Attack on Titan is also dubbed, but I'm not sure if you'd like it (if you like graphic violence/gore then you may lol).

Come on now! Season 2 gave us Eska and Desna, and more importantly, Varrick and Zhu Li.

I enjoyed that season a lot.

I have to say, Varrick and Zhu Li have to be my favorite characters in the show (behind Meelo and Toph (not as a couple, duh), of course).
