Nah. Just an adaptation of the Gaang as adults.
They'd just retroactively ruin the first series. No thank you!

They've (almost) done that already with Korra.
They sorta did that already with the comic books.
As in "Please don't Change the channel."

Goddamnit vaatu
YOU were disappointed???
Say it aint so![]()
Weren't you one of the fans that actually liked most of season 2? What made you turn against it?

the story writing is about on par with most of ATLA, the characters are just less compelling
Book 2 definitely did some shark jumping.the story writing is about on par with most of ATLA, the characters are just less compelling

While it doesn't excuse the poor choices the writers made, we've had just 26 episodes of Korra as opposed to the 40 we had by season 2's end of AtLA. Yeah, they were just starting out in season 1 of AtLA but I think the highs from Korra were better than the highs from the first season of Atla (20 episodes in). At the same time, there were also significantly worse lows. So I'm not sure exactly where that leaves us.
so....good pick up then?
For whatever reason, the link to the first part of Bryke's WSJ interview (here) is broken. Sorry guyz....
The only interesting piece of information that I saw was that book 3 is set "weeks" after the wrap of Harmonic Convergence. This kind of disappoints me, cause I was hoping for a time skip of at least a year, but at the same time I'm kind of excited, cause this makes it sounds like things might go really bad, really quickly. Could be cool
Given the short time skip, and the fact that it has been confirmed that Book 3 deals pretty directly with the aftermath of the events of Book 2, I'm starting to get the feeling that Book 3 (and maybe even 4) won't be nearly as "stand alone" as we were first lead to believe. Wouldn't it be interesting if Books 2-4 tells a semi-related story, while Book 1 is over there on the side by itself as this disconnected story that is never referenced again?
Now lets just hope that 3 and 4 are better. Well, they will be better by default, if for no other reason than Mir is animating every single episode.
No, no it's not at all. It's not even close. Maybe in Book 1 of Korra I could see this being arguable, but no in way hell once you include Book 2.
*Post*
Wow, that's a post length even I would be proud of. Good job getting all your thoughts down. Particularly point 12. It's what I've been saying since Book 1's end.
I appreciate you getting all your thoughts down and I think pretty much all your criticisms are valid.
Holy shit, BBGH. That was an impressive take-down of the finale. I'm actually a little sad for you that you feel so disappointed; I appreciated your positive attitude in this thread throughout the season even though I wasn't feeling it. Really though, your long post is great. xP
Also, I was looking at the WSJ interview you posted, and I noticed they're using pictures of blue!Korra from the finale as the article image and in the sidebar where they list the most-viewed articles. I'm surprised Nick gave out those images to the press since the finale still hasn't aired on TV. They really don't give a fuck.
Criticism of the actual product aside, Nick have definitely been trying to out-fox Fox for something they already paid for ahead of time. Absolutely bizarre.
I'm wondering if the LoK staff are pissed at Nick for the way the show's been handled this season.
i mean, Lauren fuckin Montgomery was on staff for Book 2 and you see the trainwreck the team managed to shit out
A few more questions from Twitter. @thebarkingdog asked “Will we see more of the Dark Avatar?”
DiMartino: Probably not. Korra pretty much defeats him, so.
Part Two of WSJ Interview here.
Bryke answer some twitter questions. Apparently Bumi will back in a big way for Book 3 (The Adventures of Lin and Bumi?) and it sounds like they might be toning down the romance going forward. Also, the Dark Avatar is gone for good.

No the darkatar is an actual thing in the showwasnt this just a fan made idea?
There’s also continuing interest in whomever Korra is dating. Diane Pangilinan ‏@twinklelydy asked “do u have any plans for developing Korra’s love life?”
Konietzko: It seems to me that people are uninterested in that. They get completely angry when we have fun with the teen romance stuff. I don’t know. I’m going to leave that alone.
Konietzko: This is my new theory. Fans are more interested in imagining relationships between a myriad of pairings. But they’re profoundly disinterested in seeing any of those things manifest themselves on the show. So who knows, whatever. Mike and I as writers, we wrote it the way we found it to be entertaining, and that struck a chord with some, but maybe not with some others.
losing the connection to the past avatars isn't really such a big deal anyway. Aang hardly ever used it either
