Here you go Veelk:
Okay, what like character do you want? I'll let you have some say in your punishment.
I'm pretty sure there was an edited version of this where her eyes are all derpy and there's drool coming our of the corner of her mouth.

Have I received my punishment yet?
What do you want?
Really? Most consider that one of the dumbest faces Korra made in the show.
yeah, can't find that one either. Anyone know where to find what Veelk talking about?
Here you go Hamlet:
Some face swap goodness.
I instantly regret my bet.
What about Mako.

I was going to say either you or the thread decide, and then realized Toa TAK is here...
Fuck.
This is an ugly pic of korra?
Not what I'm talking about, but that's even better. I'll take it.

I'm glad I didn't make any bets over this shitshow, because I did not anticipate Korrasami.

Here you go m_shortpants (sorry for the blue background in the hair, oh well).
Well damn. I'll switch it when I get to my PC.
Freaking Bryke. I would've expected them to tie up loose ends but NOOOOooOo. Got to prioritize shipping, that's what's important about this franchise right? Not like, the avatar...or the world...or the spirits...
Also, is that really a shot from the show? Which episode?

Good luck!
Here you go veelk.
I need to head out for lunch. Meeting up with this girl. SO...I'll check back later and see if anyone else wants punishment.

How much would I be shunned by you guys if I said I enjoyed LOK more than Avatar?
God, your avatar. Muh sides.
Not at all. Enjoy what you enjoy. I think TLOK is much worse than ATLA. But hey, if you enjoyed it more, you did. No one will think any less of you. Glad you enjoyed the show so much.
OKAY I really have to head out now.

I wouldn't shun you. Not that it means much. They are both tonally different shows. Very different, actually.
This is a great Community. We don't shun. We don't always agree. But people have every right to have their own opinion without being shunned or made fun of.
It actually makes me happy when I know other people get so much joy out of something. I always want to be happy and enjoy something too. I don't always enjoy something, and that is a let down (because I want something to be good). But if someone else feels good about it, then I'm happy for them.
Nothing wrong with that. For me I find the music for Korra to be superior to ATLA. Still they both have excellent scores. Just wish Nick would get around to releasing those soundtracks.
Good Luck.

I agree. I'm just saying that because I haven't been around as long as others. It's a good community, not overly negative like others think. Sometimes I think it's very hyper-critical, but it genuinely is a good community. Kind of sad I couldn't be a part of it while the show was still going, though.
The feast of crow begins, and plenty of folks have quite the helping in front of them:
Our local welcher, Dragonz, went big:
At least she knew a loss was in her future.
Satch, on the other hand:
Yes, some more than others.
oh ye of little faith. Let John the Prophet show you how it's done.
A double down using some logic, but the power of girl boners is too great.
With a year long bid staring her directly in the face, desperation sets in:
It's too late, friend. It's too late.
Veelk realizes early that the writers might get out of their own way for once
And here's a bonus reprieve for arrowGAF
Meanwhile, in doge land:
You just graduated, so I'll be nice.

It can sometimes have a negative vibe to it. Mostly because, some of us are really passionate about the show. And some of us are writers, or people that really like to analyze shows. So there is going to be that disconnect of some people, really picking it apart, whereas some people are just enjoying the show.
I feel bad about that. Last thing I want to do, is make someone feel bad for enjoying the show. I guess what I would say is, if we ever do have issues with the show, we do understand it's our own point of view. Even if we get carried away, even if we believe it's 100% fact....we don't think less of anyone just because they don't agree. Just because someone liked it.
When I say I'm confused as to how people can like TLOK more, or say the TLOK finale is better then ATLA. It's because I have issues with the writing, that to me, I don't get how people don't see the same issues.
But I don't think anyone is dumb, or wrong, or any less just because they did in fact love it, and think those things. I say, good for you. Glad you are happy and enjoyed.
Alright I really really have to get going now.
In terms of Dragonz losing her bet, I'm willing to give her a pass for a couple of reasons.
I. She really helped me out during my cancer. I wouldn't be alive today without her. So I mean, I think she deserves a break.
II. She's going to be leaving soon for a job, and won't be around for the next 2 months (don't want to get into it, as it's her own personal/private info).
So I dunno. I think Dragonz deserves a pass.
We are also best friends. So shhhh.
Given all the things she's done for others, I think she deserves it.
Ok gonna be late if i don't leave. ttyl

That detective work. Let no person go unpunished. BRYKE WILL BE THE CAUSE OF ALL OUR DAMNATION.
Oh fuck.
I'm not going to hunt any one down over this stuff, I'm just having a bit of fun. We said it back then and it's still true now: Dragonz is the real MVP.

As we wind this thread down, anyone know how to do the post count thing?
You mean the link of posts?

Yeah, I know you were just kidding. Dragonz my best friend though. The real MVP for sure.
Then who's the LVP?Yeah, I know you were just kidding. Dragonz my best friend though. The real MVP for sure.
click on the thread's post number to get to its "Who Posted?", screenshot that and crop it.

Like I said, it's mostly because you guys came off as very critical and nitpicky, but those things aren't synonymous with negativity. A lot of people feel that way, though. I think for a lot of people though, TLoK deserves a full re-watch, and here's why:
When we all watched the show initially, we were sort of fighting it. We didn't know what to expect, so what ended up happening clashed with our expectations. Especially if we were fans of ATLA beforehand. I know I was, and you were, as well as many others. So here we have a clash of expectations and actual events occurring. This creates a very interesting reaction, since the person watching isn't really accepting the show on its own terms. They're accepting it (or not) on their own terms.
Now I accepted TLoK for what kind of show it was right away. I still had certain things I wanted to happen that didn't, but none the less I had accepted TLoK for being an action-and-plot-focused show from the get go, as opposed to the world-and-character-focused show that ATLA was.
The reason I say I feel this show deserves a re-watch, is because now that we know how it ends and what kind of show it is, we'd be watching the show on its terms. You know what to expect and what happens, so you can't really be disappointed. That means that stuff might be seen that wasn't before, and might be appreciated whereas before it was criticized. I'm not saying a re-watch will fix the shows problems, but it might let one see it differently. You know where the path ends and what to expect along the way, so now you can appreciate the scenery and maybe see something you didn't.
That's how I look at it, anyways. I've done this with other shows, and it has changed my thoughts coming out of it (Buffy Season 7 and Angel Seasons 3&4). It might just work for everyone else here, especially considering how tumultuous the initial viewing was. I'm definitely doing it with TLoK.

Woooo made top 10
I don't think that's a cause for celebration...
Critics are raving over the Korra series finale
I can't believe they ended this season on a joke premise. I would have liked Korrassami but not after all that nonsense that occurred between them and Mako over 3 seasons.
You perfectly sum up both of my complaints. There was zero setup to compare Korra and Kuvira.

Hey man, have I ever given you trouble for liking Kuvira? Live and let live.

your otp took up to much of my ending with its bad writing. My shallow incest pairing had real proper hints since season 2.
jk
I agree. I really thought they would do something with him after the Amon stuff. Like a road to redemption type thing, but nope. He was saucy too, which that team really needed.
