If you want to see REAL, unadulterated, not kept in check by the GAF modding team meltdowns, go to /co/ on 4chan. I've been told that the board was in flames in the aftermath of the finale, and people are still so salty about it today.
If you want to really enjoy Kill La Kill the one thing you need to know is to never take it seriously. Ever.
As much as it should happen, Platinum will never make a KLK game because they all seem to dislike the show. So much so that the Platinum Games GAF account has a tag quote about how much it will never happen.
Well... shit.
I had no idea @_@
Well, I should probably still get around to picking up the Korra game eventually.
Nope. There's plenty of us who are in this thread not confused at all!

I wish they'd stop; KLK was horrible. :3

Pretty sure it was the sarcasm.

I think it's more along the lines of the whole "Kamiya got bugged too much about a new Star Fox game that he no longer had a desire to" thing. It's a similar issue. Everybody seems to think that "P* should make a KLK game!" is such an original idea, and that clearly P* must never have heard it before, so they must suggest it!
Honestly, get some people to mod Revengeance with a KLK skin and some music and call it a day. That's practically what Revengeance is any way. The KLK game before KLK.
Still, I really want a brand-new Korra game with time and budget. Made by P*. I want boss battles and alternate playable characters. Or just DLC for the current Korra game would be nice.
Really? I surprise, it seems like the type of thing that is up their alley.

I never got that either. I mean, I really liked KLK as well, but TLoK wins it for me. It's totally understandable why someone wouldn't want to watch KLK, but I don't think it's terrible. I found it to be super fun.
My guess is the comparison goes as far as "Action and plot heavy anime-esque series with female leads." I say "anime-esque" since TLoK isn't actually an anime.

This is what it's like when you strive to be a perfectionist.

Totally agree with this. I feel like they knew it was always going to be the lesser Avatar series and for good reasons. It's was severely hit and miss as a follow up to Aang's solid three act arc. As soon as they were free of the limits of television they very cleverly devised a means for the show to break newish ground. Kudos for doing it but it really did come from nowhere. And in the end is quite cheap.
I think an abrupt change in tone, character motives, and story would screw with a perfectionists head more than tiny details.
What is he linking to?
We need a bit of bravery to have an Avatar game where you don't play the avatar, but someone else. Maybe even in the time where Korra is growing up and not connected to the world. You don't need the world doomed to have an amazing story.
In fact, have a game where you pkay a non-bender whose best friend gets killed by a bender. So he secretly follows the tracks of the murderer and gets stronger as he fights bandits and corrupt officials. He learns martial arts, an understanding of some modern battle technology and to hit chi spots. And in the end, when he got his revenge and helped a lot of people he is approached by a mysterious masked man to become his right hand.

I like how they just decided to skip over first half of Book 2 Korra

So wait he's saying that in response to someone tweeting that video? Why is this in the korra thread I am confused. XD
I hope that in the event of Korra comics, we get some much needed backstory, especially on the villains.
I for one would like to hear the adventures of 10 year old Ghazan with his mighty beard, or his relationship with his sister (since one of those is true), or the story of P'li stuck working for the Evil Warlord Melonlord. Or...anything about Kuvira since she's complicated, allegedly.

This video is a masterpiece and everyone should watch it.

I also think a perfectionist would balance their budget better so their animation doesn't
end up being a bunch of static images shaking and sliding around the screen.

People were talking about Kill La Kill, Platinum, and Kamiya and I thought it was relevant and amusing.
He tells people to fuck off whenever they continue to badger him about specific things
Like if you google Kamiya and fuck off, it'll show him saying fuck off Smash idiots, Star Fox idiots, exclusive idiots, etc. It's hilarious.

Jinora gets kidnaped five more times before hiring a body guard
Heh I don't really blame him in that case. It can get annoying if people keep bugging you to do something and at times make you not want to do it.
One could argue that they did that as a stylistic choice to emulate some of the "cheapness" of sliding animation cels around which occurred in older anime because that series was chock full of shoutouts and injokes to 80s/early 90s stuff...but that's for the KLK community thread. Which hopefully AvatarGAF will have one day.
lmao, now this one I liked.

Pretty much what my list would be too.
Excellent.
I love how deeply personal Season 1 of Korra is. Some people called it boring, but it felt like a great change of pace from the grandiose scale of TLA. It was also the best season in terms of highlighting the different feel of The Legend of Korra, Republic city itself was an authentic and interesting character. As the series went on they went further away from the 1920-1930's styling and more towards a general TLA style world. I really loved the emphasis on industry (not just armies, but companies producing machinery) and how technology and bending with synergy was changing the world. They kind of continued to touch on that in future seasons, but mostly in tangential ways related to 'there's no need for an avatar'.
I would rank the seasons as follows.
1. Korra Season 1
2. TLA Season 2
3. TLA Season 3
4. Korra Season 3
5. TLA Season 1
6. Korra Season 4
7. Korra Season 2
We'll see how things change on a rewatch. I did rewatch TLA relatively recently and got really sick of how immature the characters acted, it seemed like every other episode was 'character X does something that gets misinterpreted by character Y and Character Y throws a huge hissy fit until the resolution of the episode that could have been avoided by like one line of dialogue'. Rushed romance in the final hour of Korra season 1 aside, it really made me appreciate the maturity of the characters in Korra season 1 and korra in general, other issues aside.
Also just posting because it is one of theb highlights of season 1 of Korra, and shows what an absolute monster she in physical combat.

I said it before but I love how she was mixing in straight up hand to hand combat with bending, and it's something I wish we saw her do more of in subsequent seasons. It helped realize some truly awesome sequences.
Ah gotcha.
They really really went hard in on that pro bending, thinking everyone would eat it up. I never liked those segments.
Republic City could have been interesting if they actually focused on things in it. As it stands it's just a dull as back drop with barely any life to it. Which is amazing they managed to suck out all the fun of a living bending ass city, when so other animation's make their would or location lively even if they are stuck in a city or building.

I never had an issue with pro bending. Especially considering it played a role in the actual plot. They did a good job making it feel important to the world
I love that love triangle episode, though.

A "Tales of Ba Sing Se" episode for Republic City would have been really interesting actually. Especially after Amon's defeat and then after the Spirit vines invaded. It could have fleshed out the characters and the city as well.
