I just finished all 4 seasons and I can not say anything else than that Korra is a pretty average show. By itself not a bad thing, but going into this with the high expectations after having seen the original series. Damn.
Let's start with the good thing. The animations. By far the best thing about The Legend of Korra. The scenery, characters and fight scenes all look amazing. You will not get dissapointed by that, coming from The Last Airbender. It might even look a bit more polished than the original.
Once you take away the beautiful cover though, and look at the insides. It was a bit of a chore to watch the entire show, I felt myself being disinterested by what was happening on the screen a lot during these 4 seasons. Boring if you will.
Unlike The Last Airbender, the characters are not as fun or interesting. That goes for the good guys as well as the villains. A cool antagonist like Zuko or the rest of the Fire crew? Not even close. So while the action scenes looked amazing, I just sort of felt numb for them as the series didn't do its job by making me care what happens.
I didn't really care for the 1930's aesthetic of the show either. It just made things goofy in my opinion, and not the good kind.
If you're planning on watching Korra, there's a big chance you have watched Avatar already. And if so, it doesn't matter what warning people give you as you will watch Korra regardless just for the chance it even has a glimmer of quality that ATLA has.
So here's a consolation hug in advance to help you with your dissapointment after having seen this. I know, it wasn't as good. There there.
