Avatar cartoons. Yup, that's what's been going on lately. I watched them ALL. Like, really quickly cus they were so good. So good. People had been telling me for years, and I didn't listen. I was such a fool.
But now I am enlightened! And, obviously, full of thoughts. Mostly about Korra and expectations and the ways in which it is saddled with an impossible task.
First, though, Avatar: The Last Airbender! Because, wow, that show is a beautiful, beautiful thing. So many narratives that were just...more than I thought they'd be at the start. More subtle, more thoughtful, more touching, more heartbreaking.
( The Last Airbender feelings spam! )
So of course, next, I wanted to watch Korra. Because all that but about a girl? Yes. YES PLEASE.
And then, I was warned, it was not so great, and so I went in forearmed, and I think that helped me, because the first season was not so great. And the others have been...well parts have been wonderful and parts have been confusing, and that's what I have gathered you all here today to talk about!
( So Book One was sort of not great... )
( Book Two was much better! )
( And then we get to Book Three which was mostly lovely yet left me with some uncomfortable questions about the future... )
I need Book 4 like yesterday.
