TLOK’s problem was that Nickelodeon wouldn’t renew the show each season until the last minute, so they couldn’t really plan multi-season arcs. The first season also had the number of episodes changed several times - first it was going to be a movie, then a miniseries, then Nick ordered it expanded to a twelve episode season, but it was still going to be a one-off until it was too late to change the ending. And then the final season had a sudden budget cut, hence the clip show episode. If Nick just gets out of their way and lets them do their thing, the new show will probably be good.
Ehhhhhh even within the seasons themselves the writing and character motivations are just bad. Not like 0/10 terrible but watching Korra with the expectation that it was going to be anything near as quality as the original series was always going to be difficult.
Not a bad show by any means. Just not anywhere near as good as the original series.
I get what you mean, the lows were pretty low (especially any relationship stuff). But the highs were also high, even if they were rare. If they can capture that without the lows, there’s a good chance we’ll be getting good new material!
