Do I have to Avatar the Last Air Bender to get into Legend of Korra?

Not really. There are some references and old characters return but that's about it.

 

[ultimax]

Hurry up and make it through the first half of season 2 so you can get to the epic second half.

i was gonna watch more but shit happens. ill marathon korra tomorrow tho.

Do I have to Avatar the Last Air Bender to get into Legend of Korra?

I am keeping this gif

That being said, Last Airbender is fucking amazing. It's great. There's also some parts in Korra that are twice as good if you've seen ATLA

Why is her forehead so big? Its bigger than my damn forehead.

No, but do, because it's one of the best tv shows out there

ATLA is just straight up better than Korra tho and it gives you a better understanding of the world and why it is the way it is now. Like a much, much deeper understanding. Even why shit like

people powering generators with lightningbending in the first couple of eps

is a huge fucking deal.

I feel so sad that you totally didn't get the joke about

Zuko's mom.

 

[Loco4Coco]

Is there a streaming service or Website that has all the episode available?

 

[AngryCanadian]

The dead future ghost of Toriyama went back in time to design her

That seems most logical at least

Oh yeah, all you guys should watch TLA but you don't need to for Korra.

 

[Zenfalcia]

I actually have no idea what anime that comes from.

That's a shame... It's a good anime

Spoiler

until the second season craps itself

LMAO at "dead future ghost"

 

[skLaFarebear]

Nick.com has all of Korra. I think Netflix has all of ATLA.

You could also buy the DVD's which are pretty cheap for how good the show is.

Every time I think about ATLA I want to watch it again
It's probably better than Gurren Lagann
Not as much fun, but better

I actually just looked on Nick and it seems they only have the finale of book 3 and up.

Katara was about to talk about what happened to Zuko's mom and Jinora just cock blocked the story. You really wouldn't get it without seeing ATLA.

If you had watched ATLA you would've gotten the joke, no use explaining it to you now because you don't know the character.

Guess I'll start with TLAB.

Then buy it I guess. Or go to your local cartoon/anime store and make an honest purchase.

That's best. You don't have to, but it's best.

make it clear we don't accept the internet culture of piracy, right?

Its a great show, but I'm not a fan of the main character himself. The characters around him, especially Sokka and Zuko, are much better developed throughout the series.

I don't support plundering the high seas, unless there's no other way to watch it or if its super expensive (in this case, its not at all). At least try to support the damn people that make the show, that's the reason Korra was taken off of TV and why I can't watch it.

I think I might've actually done that but I'm barely remembering anything about it

oh alright. that part was just wtf to me lol

i know who some of the characters are, and parts of the story. i only watched like 1 first season, and then a few random episodes because they were on TV. i never really got into it, but i may go back one day since im enjoying korra alot.

It's like if you took Korra and made it better

Hm... Gonna have to work on those white strips in my avatar later cause I'm gonna go to sleep soon. Leaving for New York tomorrow night.

I feel the opposite. Korra's gotten a lot more development than Mako or Asami. I'm still

waiting for an Asami episode where she really gets her time to shine.

LoK's problem character wise is that the characters have complete arcs in the first season and never really have anywhere special to go afterwards

Korra just frustrates me because it's like she doesn't know what she wants and does whatever she wants despite people around her giving her sound advice.

 

[Alfebit]

That's because season 1 was intended to be a one off mini series.

Not surprising since the writers didn't even know if they were gonna get to make a season 2. I can't blame them for problems in the writing.

You should, it's not just not knowing some of the background stuff tho, you're missing all the great in-jokes like

Also Jinora best grill in LoK

 

[Alfebit]

Eeeeexactly.

Season 3 and 4 are the only seasons that feel like a connected storyline because they were ordered at the same time. Mike and Bryan didn't get the order for them until season 2 was almost over.

It always pisses me off when network shenanigans effect writing quality in a show. I feel like it coulda been as good as avatar or at least close to it if they'd been given a 3-4 season block from the start.

Which I understand, but it's frustrating none the less when she's been through this shit a few times and still acts the same. I haven't seen the third season year but I'm hoping that's true.

That was an in-joke?

Yeah it was a reference to something in the first show.

 

[Nova Bovington]

That was an in-joke?

I can't find the scene or the picture, but yeah. Katara did the 'I'm keeping an eye on you!' thing as she and Sokka left a place. Damnit, I even remember a couple of cosplayers doing that scene perfectly.

Aaron, is that you?

Spoiler

jokes are fun.

His stand is becoming too powerful.

So the chapter Aaron's in would be in Stone Ocean. His stand would

make Jolyne's team start talking about creep-ass perv shit. She's get sick of it and they'd all beat each other up. Aaron would reveal himself and Foo Fighters, the only one lacking a human sex drive and therefore the only one immune, would kill him.

Is there a prize for overthinking stupid shit?

If only this thread wasn't so lewd, maybe one of us could've stopped him.

Guys, I think I want to live in Falconia...

That would never happen. The only way to stop him is to make the thread even lewder in hopes that the lewdness will combine to destroy everything in thick stringy ropes.
