Art style, fight scenes, music, the show's production is great. But the series' story wasn't, starting from its characters - Korra's unwillingness to learn, Mako reduced to a side character, Bolin the tryhard funnyman, and Asami the Mary Sue- all throughout. Plots were resolved dramatically with asspulls and the villains were bland. The Legend of Korra wasted its potential to be the successful series after ATLA.

**SPOILERS AHEAD** **Season 1:** Season 1 overall I think is a decent start, unlike the predecessor, Korra did seasonal villains. Which honestly did not work, in this case Amon is fine and I did actually like the plot line. I was hoping we would go deeper into the aftermath when Amon fell, but that sadly never came. However, during the season he was a big threat and I felt like he had good reasons to start the cult. In some scenes I felt a bit sympathetic towards him but, this show really loves it’s twist. He ended up being a bender and I feel like his character got weaker once we learned that he was just after power. I liked him better when he was doing something to benefit the people, as he felt more human but had his flaws. Now he is just a super villain. Moving onto our main cast, I will get straight to the point the love triangle was horrible. It isn’t as bad as the next season, but man it was hard to watch at points. Korra as a character is interesting, she is honestly like every teenager ever. We have all been angry and frustrated, I did relate to her in that capacity. It was frustrating to watch because lets be honest who liked their teenager self, but she is slowly starting to change her ways. The rest of the avatar gang are all kind of surface level characters. We don’t get as much depth as I would have hoped, don’t get me wrong we got a good introduction to…
