I just finished Season 1 on the train ride into work this morning and right now, I'm just not feeling it.

Let me first start off by saying that I do love the voice work and animation. Sokka is GREAT, and Aang and Katara are pretty cool too. I've even laughed out loud a few times. There is some solid stuff in here.

But as an overarching narrative, I am finding myself more bored than impressed. I had no idea this was a "character/villain of the day" type show, which isn't exactly my cup of tea. I'm not a huge fan how every problem is presented and then wrapped up neatly by the end of the episode. Does this structure change in S2 and S3? I'm really unsure if I should keep plugging away.

I wanted to wait until I got further into the show before forming any solid opinions, but with an entire season down, I don't feel a strong desire to keep going. If I didn't like S1, should I call it?

It's not really good until S2.

 

[Kor of Memory]

Season one is the weakest. Keep going. The show constantly gets better.

Watch until the middle of Season 2. Things get less episodic there.

 

[Miker]

The first season is mediocre at best, imo. The later seasons really take off. It gets a lot better from the second season on, and I'd wager most people are hooked by end of season 2.

Avatar literally felt like Star Wars the original trilogy...

So keep on watching and S2 will be amazing!

 

[Bitch Pudding]

It's worth it. Keep going.

It drops this in S2, and has a ton of character development.

Definitely not villain of the day type thing in s2 and s3

 

[RPGCrazied]

Its the best animated TV show ever made. They just don't make that anymore these days. I try and try to find something even close resembling that and no dice. It really is a one of a kind.

I agree, but for probably different reasons.

I think Legend of Korra is superior to TLA in every way except overarching narrative (and *only* because LoK doesn't have one - its separate issues/antagonists each season).

For this opinion I get shit on by TLA fans constantly - but I'm used to it.

I really liked TLA but there is an absurd level of love directed at it that is not warranted. And in-turn an absurd amount of hate leveled at LoK.

That being said, they are both great shows, but IMO Korra is far better (one of my top 5 favorite shows ever).

The ways in which the animation, story, characters, world building etc etc all improve as the series continues makes it worth it. I was feeling just like you when it was introduced to me. Now? I love it lol

I thought it was a good show, but thought it fell hard on Season 3. There was quite a few filler episodes in S3.

S2 > S1 >>>>> S3.

Weird opinion that I haven't seen before tbh, usually see s2 >= s3 > s1
