Well, if you're going to use that argument, guess I could defend the movie the same way, people only hate it because they compare it to the show.
The same can be said about that moron PreachCaleb's argument of "wanting something different from ATLA", so it is a valid argument to defend the movie, amirite?
Perhaps the greatest flaw in The Legend of Korra is the protagonist herself: Korra. Instead of having a character the audience can easily relate to, she is an arrogant character who is constantly motivated by ego and self gratification. Most of the time she is irrational and rarely thinks of the consequences of her acts.
You'd think the writers gave her all these negative traits so that she can learn from her mistakes, but that never happens. I'm not even talking of Season 1 at this point, she never learns a damn thing in the whole series, even in Season 4 she decides to abandon everyone without thinking of the consequences. The Red Lotus is still out there, there are bandits all over the Earth Kingdom, she hasn't recovered from the fight against Zaheer, and yet, she decides to travel the world all alone.
Most of Korra side kicks are poorly written, and some additions are baffling to me, especially Mako and Asami, who are basically cardboard characters that were created for the sake of having a love triangle. The only good characters I can think of are Tenzin, Lin and Varrick. In fact, Korra and Tenzin should merge into a new character called "Tenzin".
Tenzin should be the protagonist of the show because the audience can easily relate to him and his character's arc is far more interesting than anything Korra has to offer (at least in Season 1). His background is far richer, he has the task of teaching how to Airbend to the new Avatar, and you feel that there's development in his character, from the serious man who rarely shows his emotions at the start of the series to a more open and fun family man at the end.
I'm tired of talkin, Fuchs. I just wanna get up to my shack and get drunk.
