Seven Havens’ plot tease has already set The Legend of Korra defenders back a decade again.

    I totally agree. She completely gets destroyed every season, then breaks 1000 year chain of rebirth. Plus, a worse love story than Twilight.

      She didn’t break the chain of rebirth, the writers did when they nerfed the avatar state from god mode to tiny power boost for a second. The Avatar state was never scary until Zaher had to face it 3 seasons in.

      Korra is a character who constantly gets beat down, but she always got back up and got the job done. The formula for most her big fights was “get beat up, get beat up again, get humiliated by the public, get beat up again, and win by dumb luck”

      Is it not enjoyable to watch the mc always take the L, that’s just poor story telling. Every season was the team scrambling to keep up with the big bad, it never felt like they were going in with upper hand.

      Having the world end and everyone hate the Avatar means Korra once again took an L.

      I do like the new show concept, sounds like a cool story. The reset is needed to bring back the “fantasy” aspect of the world and keep Avatar from becoming a sci-fi. And an Earth Avatar in a metal world sounds OP anyways, (oh god I hope they don’t get rid of metal bending, surly someone will remember)

      Also having the Avatar hated, gives the story a new angle. It breaks from the pampered chosen one who gets instant hero perks in every town, we’ve seen that 5 times now between the shows and books.

      This reads like you want Dragonballesque power creep to me. Also troll bait, nothing is worse than an adult wanting to “marry” a newborn within weeks of birth.

        What? I don’t need her to be able to cut a planet in half, just not be literally killed by every villain until some spirit magic makes her Dynamax. And I’m talking about how it was very unclear that Asami and Korra were interested in each other romantically, much less courting until the final episode.

          Korra and Asami was Nickelodeon’s fault, they were scared of having the relationship on screen. If Korra came out 3 years later, they might have embraced it.
