A Chasing After Wind

My most serious problem with Katara/Aang is not the ship itself, but the unquestioned idea that the person you fall in love with at fourteen is the person you will happily be with forever and ever. It's not that this CAN'T happen - just that it is rare and unlikely. I wish the two of them had gotten together when they were older - or, better yet, when Legend of Korra shows up we find out their relationship didn't last.

I realize I never got around to writing up my Legend of Korra thoughts.

Overall, I thought it was a perfectly serviceable show. I enjoyed it, but I will probably never rewatch it - whereas I have already re-watching A:TLA once and look forward to future rewatches.

I actually cried when I first started watching Legend of Korra - because the last time we see the Gaang they are children, and now maybe a third of them are dead. I tried to tell myself that Aang and Sokka lived for decades after I last saw them, and had full lives. But all I could think of was Sokka with his nonexistent drawing skills trying to capture now long-gone happy times.

The world was so different, too. A:TLA had gotten me attached to a certain world, and now it was gone.

I thought season four was the strongest. Kuvira was a good villain. I liked Korra's difficulty in recovering from the events of season three, mentally and physically. I liked that Zhu Li got to be a person rather than a slightly skeevy plot device - although I wasn't thrilled with the wedding. Varrick was only just starting to see her as person deserving of respect, and it didn't seem like enough for wedding bells. I wish they'd gone their separate ways instead of tying the knot.

I thought Korra and Asami made for a very cute couple. I'd heard there was a GLBT relationship on the show, and I was pleased to learn it was Asami, specifically, who Korra fell for.

I wasn't really excited by the origin story of the Avatar in season two. I found it unsatisfying.
