Name one character on the show that the writers either didn't fuck up, fuck over or under utilize, I dare you.Gat dam.

I mostly meant Korra characters. In ATLA most of the cast was handled pretty well.I thought they did good with Zuko
Ok fine I'll agree on that one. He was meant to be a villain and then they handled well enough to the point where he was redeemed.Tarlock
I guess in hindsight he wasn't too bad. You left out him being an exceptional engineer. I guess I'm just a tad too hard on the show. Seems like other characters were handled better than others, but it's not as bad as I thought. I guess at some point I'll have to rewatch this thing.Um... Bataar Jr.?
Had plenty of screen time, made right with his family, had a happy ending.

This is true. Same could be said for the Red Lotus crew. I guess I'm salty when it comes to the villains cause I like a good villain and I prefer that they get handled with respect. Hell Kuvira wasn't even really a villain until they went all heavy handed with her being a villain.Fair enough. Kuvira deserved better.

P'Li, Ghazan and Ming Hua are the other three. I was so pissed when Ming Hua was zapped, Ghazan was a bro, so wasted.It's a shame the only name I can remember of the 4 is Zaheer. They did have a killer theme though.

They really needed fleshing out, awesome designs though.*Looks up at my avatar*
*shakes head*
EDIT: Oh, shit, wait, I forgot I don't have my P'li avatar on right now, so that makes no sense. Lmao.
But anyway, yeah, I would have loved to see more of the other three Red Lotus members. Some of the most bad-ass character designs in either series.

I can get behind this.
Season 1 best season of korra
Heh, not according to Bryan (he addresses this very topic on one of the Book 3 commentaries).
You seem really jaded, writer.
Any explanation that doesn't include "we ran out of time/episodes to fit that in" is nonsense.Heh, not according to Bryan (he addresses this very topic on one of the Book 3 commentaries).
Do tell.
Any explanation that doesn't include "we ran out of time/episodes to fit that in" is nonsense.
"It doesn't matter they won't be in Season 4 anyways"

"We couldn't come up with any more substance for these characters."
"We'll flesh them out in a sentence or two in the artbook, go buy the artbook please.""We couldn't come up with any more substance for these characters."
I got the impression that he felt their lack of substance contributed to their appeal.
Best Kuvira is in the fanfics where they write her with an actual personality. They toy around with her being stoic, but also give her a dry sense of humor. It's the Kuvira we should've gotten, but not the one we got.*sigh* Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually did think that.
That's probably why we got Kuvira, lovable hollow little ball of bitterness and rage that she is.
It's stuff like this that makes me think that the depth Ozai got was just a happy accident, them just writing a traditional badguy and happening to stumble in the right ways to distinguish him as an true sociopath. They were trying to write a generic doomsday, and the muse watching over TLA just happened to edge them in the right directions to make him something more in the most subtle ways.
I swear to god, TLA had an guardian angel watching out for it.

Speaking of, I should probably dump my Kuvira interpretation already.
Okay, I'm giving up on organizing all this shit, so I'm just gonna dump my rewrite in broad strokes here because the only way will actually make this work the way I want it to is if I write it out as a fanfic, and I'm not gonna do that. So Imma just do a big write up now, outlining all my story ideas I had for it.

Aaron Ehasz
Yeah, it struck me a while ago just how lucky we were that ATLA turned out as well as it did. Bryan and Mike are incredibly talented artists and are directly responsible for many of the things that made ATLA and the Avatar universe so compelling, but after watching Korra and sitting through the commentaries (and hearing Bryan's frequent, flimsy dismissals of legitimate criticisms of Korra's writing), it became clear to me that significant portions of ATLA's writing were likely good in spite of them. They're great idea guys, but they clearly need a strong guiding hand when it comes their storytelling.
(I don't know if Ehasz actually was that strong guiding hand, but I just posted that because I find it funny that so many people, myself included, automatically attribute ATLAs successes to him due to his absence from Legend of Korra).
Only show that has come close since has been Young Justice...RIP.
All because "boys weren't buying our toys, but girls liked it, fuck it lets cancel this shit."I was reminded earlier today of the theory that the series was going to have had a 40 year timeskip where they introduce Batman Beyond into it.
Batman fucking Beyond in Young Justice.
If I had won the lottery, the first thing I did would be to commission them to make YJ season 3. I think they said the cost would have been 10 million? That would have been such a drop in the bucket.
How could they fuck up such a perfectly laid out character.Look, good fanart:
I'm only responding to the Kuvira one cause I do not have the time for the rest since I'm getting ready for work. I really like the idea of Kuvira being Korra's earth bending teacher since Kuvira was known to be a prodigy and I can easily see them two just beating the shit out of each other for their first day of "training" they're personalities are really similar so I could see Kuvira knowing the best way to train her and using their competitive natures as a way to keep challenging each other would be fun to see on screen but it wasn't.
It seems like they would be each others first friendships actually cause I do not think Kuvira has that many friends and even though Kuvira roams the world she's still just as lonely as Korra in her ice prison. Would be nice to see Korra's reactions when Kuvira isn't around. Does she get despondent? Short in temper? Same with Kuvira. It would seem like they would miss each other. Also makes me wonder what happens when they reunite for their training sessions. Does Kuvira politely bring a pre workout lunch? Does she take the session slower just to lengthen their time together? These two better have a push up contest cause you know their going to have a couple.
They're probably only at ease with each other and most likely towards the end of their training they think of each other as sisters. Though we really don't know Kuvira's original family structure, maybe she did have one already and having to be torn from Korra made her remember the pain of losing her original sister, probably made her flip out, so she probably did a lot more than cry...think how destructive Lin most likely was when Tenzin left her for Pema. This does make me wonder how Kuvira responds to Mako, Bolin and Asami. Will Kuvira get jealous of them?
It's good that you brought in the Suyin dynamic cause we know there's a lot of weirdness there. Suyin cares about her enough to take her in, but she never really treated her any differently than normal Zaofu staff. A scene with Kuvira being disgruntled during a session after witness Korra being all cozy with her parents would be good, especially if Korra winds up being her damn therapist over the whole thing instead of training. Would be interesting to see how Suyin responds to the whole thing if she finds out. Does she start to limit their time together, thus making Kuvira want to branch out and leave Zaofu even more? Kuvira turning all dark side over losing an actual human connection would actually make her character a lot more human. It's just too easy to brain storm plot with that bond.
You say that like there's something wrong with that. I want artful Korvira porn to be specific.
