Ah, yes. That's right: Book 2 was suppose to come soon. Better make sure my box is set.

I think that it would be good I idea to get on to this now that I have lot of free time to spare. 

I'm kinda scared though because I never liked original Avatar: last airbender. 

but Amon seems pretty smooth guy

Didn't even know about this.. I just now watched the first episode and it's a lot more better than 'The Last Airbender' which I did watch but didn't actually like it.

So because she starts fighting spritis does mean we can see some more action? Not that it wasn't enough, but now she can use some more interesting moves, I think, because these things are not human. So no "we cannot show kills in a cartoon"... I hope.

I was reading a message board and this person hit the nail on the head for me...

 

"On a much more *personal* note, I'd take Book 1 Water over Air any day of the week. I don't give a rats ass about Korra strutting around and showing off (it got old fast), who she likes, who Mako likes, who he's cheating on, who she's cheating on, Bolin being only the comic relief, Asami being spit on as the fourth character though she had some serious integrity. And I especially don't care about Pro Bending and on another level, Republic City itself."

 

"I'd much rather watch Aang in general, see the adorable crush he has on Katara that doesn't overshadow episodes, see Katara struggling to learn how to bend, see Sokka slowly make his own niche in the group where he's not always comic relief, watch much more interesting traditional bending forms, watch Zuko's personal struggles and his interactions with Iroh, watch all the episodes that have spirits in them, watch the amazing ending. No amount of Lin, Amon, and Tenzin can change that."

 

Don't get me wrong I love Korra, but I couldn't help but feel disappointed in the first season. Biggest gripe had to be the lead character's development was zero. Everyone kept fixing her problems for her, so she never grew. The side characters and actual issues of non-benders that cropped up pretty much carried it. The romance was terrible, felt forced, and it took up way too much time. And like this poster said, I love me some Lin Beifong, Amon, and Tenzin, but if I were to choose between Book 1: Water and Book 1: Air, I choose the former.

 

I love this series and I'm stoked to see the next season of Legend of Korra redeem itself in my eyes, though I don't doubt it will!

I really like the first season, but I thought the romance portion was terrible as well. My memory is a bit fuzzy, but if I remember correctly, Asami was screwed over without so much as an apology from Mako and Korra. Mako's starts off "Sorry Korra, I like Asami not you" but predictably goes completely back on this in a few episodes to "You know what, I actually do like Korra, bye Asami". It felt totally forced, and really the only reason behind it was so the hero could get the "dreamy love interest".

That's because Mako is a scumbag and Korra is a bit of a bitch. 

 

I'm not going to lie, I had a similar situation happen in my circle of friends. Which is why I didn't hesitate to take away Korra's bending. 

 

Except that apparently unlocked her airbending, which makes no freaking sense and is a deus ex machina that lead to my forced defeat, but whatever. 

 

In my honest opinion they could have saved Amon for Book 2. The final episode had too much of Deus Ex Machina that show hadn't had before in it which annoyed me a bit.
