You wrote this over a year ago, but just these days, as I watched Tenzin being beaten, I was thinking the exact same thing.

I couldn't agree more!

I'd love to say that I agree with you, because you worded that so well! It's just that...well, when watching, the way it usually plays out is that it SEEMS that she's supposed to learn a lesson about patience, or humility, and then she just headbutts the lesson, and storms right past it without learning a thing!

If you consider "Crying when you lose your toys" and "Might makes right" virtuous, by all means continue to attempt to justify them. For me, and many others, Korra represents exactly what is wrong with modern society and she is rewarded for her unhealthy entitlements with praise by many viewers that have forgotten…

I never made up "huge generalizing judgments about women." Again, your reading comprehension needs some work.

Yes, I'm sure I don't hate women or care about post season 1 drama.

The thing is: I judge feminism on what it does and not what it says it does. Feminism has alienated the sexes in many regards and hasn't really done anything to establish a true equality. Here we are some 40+ years after the great burning bras of the late 60s and we still hear how terribly oppressed women are (some…

I couldn't understand why I didn't like her and why the show felt strange but now I do, thanks.

I totally agree with everything you said. Did no one else notice that literally everything throughout the series was handed to Korra on a silver platter? She didn't have to work for anything! I mean honestly, she didn't even defeat Amon. As I remember, they fought and she got her ass handed to her and he escaped. It's…

I just wanted to say that I totally agree with everything you said, about Korra's character flaws, the flaws of the series, and about the state of our culture today! You have plenty of push back against what you're saying, but for me it's a breath of fresh air to hear somebody speak so plainly and intelligently. …

After watching season 1 and the first 5 episodes of season 2, I came to the realization that the problem with The Legend of Korra is Korra itself. She really isn't likeable at all and I found your post Demosthenes and completely agree with you. She really has no development and keeps on making the same mistakes over…

I would call Aang "watchable" (which is more than I could say about that spoiled bully feminist construct that is Korra).

Considering she had zero character growth in the first season, I wouldn't hold out for some grand epiphany where she realizes how much of an entitled bully she is and spends the next season trying to make amends.

Here's a test: pretend Korra is a man. Would his actions be acceptable in your life? Would this person be considered a hero in any definition of the word he beat the crap out of everyone that disagreed with him while ignoring all of his elders and destroying their property? There was absolutely no virtue for this…

Egh. Yeah, see, I'm rewatching these episodes and what I see is someone so stubborn that the world changes itself to suit her.

Sadly, no. I find what things like Feminism have done to many of today's young women quite damaging and appalling. As a woman myself, it breaks my heart to see a lot of my friends make poor life decisions and then buy into the unfounded sense of entitlement and lack of accountability fed to us in school and media that…

This was actually a large part of the reason why I never got past the third episode. I suppose I'll go back to it now because I'm finding it hard to believe that she really doesn't grow beyond that state.

Korra wasn't relatable at all to me and I'm a woman. She had absolutely no redeeming qualities beyond her super powers. What was so great about her beyond her violent actions and powers? She was a terrible protagonist.

"The Ku Klux Klan: Promoting racial justice through pride in the strengths and cultural heritage of the white people."

She was a bully and constantly proved the anti-bending movement right. She destroyed antiques, basically ignored every order she was given by her elders, used physical violence as a first resort, stole her friend's boyfriend, kept someone wrapped around her finger by manipulating him a with his own infatuation, was…
