@MagikarpUsedFlylol3 years ago Hi. I haven' t uploaded a video in 2 months. I' ve been very busy with the tabletop channel. Schedule is slowly clearing up so you can expect to see more garbage coming onto your timeline. 1328

@Tuskor1303 years ago This is the perfect type of show to get something like " the legend of korra: retold" or something. 559

@yoku6513 years ago Honestly, they did really well with the hand they were dealt. Even season 2 at least starts out really interesting, it just ends in the worst way possible because they thought it was over completely. 938

@Nickodemo1st3 years ago I knew they did the show dirty but i didnt know about the cuts, first 2 seasons shit, leaks, and being pulled and put online. Now ik why i never knew id="hidden4" there was a season 4 until when i chose to rewatch the show online since i rewatched the original series. ...Expand 534

@blockclinger3 years ago Matt, i' m really loving these documentaries you made. Limewire, myspace, life of a streamer episodes, and now this.

@DurhamCurse3 years ago Some days i genuinely feel like the only person that enjoyed lok: / i hate how nickelodeon tried their hardest to ruin the show, but refuses to let go of the ip. 471
@

@gabesullivan86033 years ago Imagine how it feels to create one the most groundbreaking animated series ever, and then you and your team are just handed the short end of the stick over and over again every time you want to make anything else. 10
@

@6bambolbi63 years ago That' s such a such a sad story. Nickelodeon definitely hates korra.
meanwhile, we now have disney trying to suffocate their animated shows, like the owl house for example. 24
@

@vladdivesho11633 years ago Love the video, glad to have more people talking about the show.
always wondered why the quality between seasons felt so inconsistent while each seasons potential was so high. 95

@Blackoutdmc3 years ago To be honest, i actually rewatched it on netflix when it came out recently, i didn' t feel like the show was that bad, season 2 certainly felt scuffed . ...Expand 248

@DownwardIsHeavenward3 years ago Despite everything, watching lok was still an exhilarating experience, and i' m insanely happy the show exists. Seasons 3 & 4 are near-perfect in my opinion, and even season 2 has. 167
@

@JedrzuGaming3 years ago I watched it whole in order with gf online like year ago, and i enjoyed it very much. In my humble opinion the lok was as enjoyable to watch from world expanding perspective, as loa but lack of iroh made me sad. 70
@

@reannagordon3 years ago I feel like the one episode from atla focusing on rokus journey and downfall as the avatar was more interesting then all 4 seasons of lok. 5

@Lightmagician603 years ago Meanwhile disney:

@Spacebeat_3 years ago I liked every bit of legend of korra. Here in germany i waited for it to air in america and watched it on streaming services the next day, so i had no i was so happy that other content in the atla universe was released so i didn' t mind that it wasn' t like aangs adventures, it was more mature and had serious topics.
season two was a cool background story and the episodes explaining the origin of the avatar were awesome. I think it isn' t bad at all. ...Expand 139
@

@rayseodium3 years ago Living in germany we always got episodes a couple of month later. I watched all of avatar on nikelodeon and i remeber talking to my friend in 4th grade in 2013 korra aired on nikelodeon, but i was a bit older and actually understood english. So i watched it all online on some questinable streaming sites.
i never caught wind of the drama the creators of the show went through. I was justed hyped and excited, that my favourite show got a sequel. I also really liked the show and the animation in particular. Sure, even 14 year old me realised that season two was not that good, but damn was season 3 a banger.
most of my friend at the time were more into anime andshows so i could not never really talk about it with anyone. But i still loved it. Korra is a beatiful mess to me and does live up the its predecessor. It has its flaws but the it does also does a lot of things very right.
to me atla also isnt perfect and if you think it is, then you are blinded by nostalgic. So yes, korra is (for the most part) a good sequal to one of the most beloved shows ever. ...Expand 50

curse you matt. " little soldier boy" made me cry again. 6

@00Clank3 years ago Korra is a monumentally amazing show when you consider the absurd treatment the team got from nick. Love you for helping point this out to those unaware. nicks handling of zim and avatar will always be bafflingly anti-making easy money. ...Expand 8

@

@IMVADER23 years ago Its also amazing how few people also know this. I' ve seen plenty of comment debate on korra, from reaction channels to video essay channels, and there' s thanks for helping spread the word on this. Personally i love the show, and more than tolerate a good amount of the flops in seasons 2 & 4. Makes me wonder what we could' ve seen if nick just decided to give seasons 2-4 all at once.
also the clip show is entertaining, as far as clip shows go. ...Expand 4

@

@SecretNerdChick3 years ago I think this video is really great for highlighting how much mike and brian had going against them. And yet, despite all the garbage they had to endure as an avid lover of both shows and the universe as a whole, both shows are phenomenal for what each brings to the table, but for the love of god people need to open their eyes and recognize they do not hold atla accountable for the lows that exist in the show, just as they do for korra. ...Expand 5
@

@xoreign3 years ago The original is about a normal person learning to become the avatar.
this series is about someone who only ever wanted to be the avatar, learn i find it tragic and beautiful.
one of my favorite scenes of the show was season 3, when korra just talked to someone on the bridge. A beautiful scene above a city inspired by 1920s shanghai. Not new york, like many people think). ...Expand 2

@eniking34183 years ago Watched legend of korra for the first time around a month ago right after watching the last airbender and i really liked it. It was different then the i really dont see why people dislike it. I really think people just hate it because other people say so without even watching it. Similar to boruto which has the same problem with hate from people who never watched it)
btw great video! Did not even notice the shit that happend around legend of korra around the time it was airing.
