theres a second season with 14 episodes, but yeah it was suppose to be a complete series of 12 but Nickelodeon ordered more

So there is a chance nickelodeon could order a third season as well then?

I thought Appa was the last flying bison? -___-

Now that I've watched all of the first season, I can say my personal expectations were not met.

My expectations were pretty positive going into this. I thought choosing a 17 year old girl as the protagonist was a great choice. It happens way too often that the followup to a piece of original fiction is essentially a worse carbon copy of the original, so I was happy to see the writers take a different approach when it comes to characters and also the setting.

But I feel like it didn't end up being as good as it could have, and here are my main points of contention:

-The Equalists plot was poorly executed. I thought this would go into the direction of the equalist "populari" getting the rabble to turn on the elitist benders. Which would have been a very interesting plot. But they ended up making the classical mistake in a juxtaposition like this: they simply made the non-benders just as powerful as the benders. Which trivializes the most interesting part of the Avatar fiction. "Oh look, I'm Korra one of the best fire-benders, one of the best water-benders and one of the best earth-benders in the world. I should wreck virtually anyone in the world with my unique power. But I can still get beat by random no-bending Joe on the streets because he learned about pressure points". Lame.

This kind of transitions into the next point:

Amon was not a very compelling villain. A nice villain choice: a masked non-bender as the main villain. I wonder how they are going to deal with him not being powerful? Oh wait, but he can still easily handle benders in a fight. Yawn.
Oh wait! He actually is simply a really powerful bender, it was just a secret. Yaaaaawn.

-The lovestory made Korra's character boring. First of all: I understand that I should probably refrain from putting the romance itself on blast. I think it was a boring cliche, but that's more of a function of me not being part of the target audience here. It's a kids show, show some childish story elements should be expected.
But what I objectively didn't like about it is that it turns Korra into a stereotype. She's a teenage girl! So obviously she is absolutely obsessed with getting a boyfriend! Because she's a girl! Yeah we get it.



Ech, nice try. Maybe next season they can bring the heat.

Check this out...

"Appa, Aang's companion and animal guide, was thought to be the last Sky Bison, but Aang discovered a new herd during his adventures after the 100 year war. From this herd there is now a healthy batch of Sky Bison living on Air Temple Island, including Oogi, Tenzin's companion." -The Legend of Korra: Welcome to Republic City

Good find. How convenient for tenzin and the air benders. Did you finish the first season yet?

[EricGordon23]

Just finished the 1st season. It was okay really hope they kick it up in the 2nd season. They did a pretty good job considering the amount of episodes they had to work with.

When does next season start has it been announced?

[takai]

It was pretty good. Although the romance was implemented terribly. And Amon, who was a badass, went out like a bitch. Which was really disappointing.

There have been theories that Korra and Mako are going to split up in the second book. I have my fingers crossed.
