Started watching again, really into it now and am binging. Gotta say the one thing I can't get over is all the teen drama, I mean ffs why does Korra have to have romantic issues with everyone on team avatar. Most of it was pretty corny and hard to watch. On a similar note it really irked me how Korra seemed to be represented just so weakly, it got real boring to watch her cry for the 30th time and at some point it had no effect. I remember that in The Last Airbender it really meant something when you could see Aang tearing up, it didn't happen all that often and it would never be for something dumb or ridiculous like what seems to happen with Korra in every episode.
I also wish that there was more emphasis on exploration like there was in AtLA, sure after they get out of Republic City they start traveling more, but in 1-2 episodes they go all the way across the world, with stops in between on more than one occasion. Nowhere near the exciting effect that The Last Airbender had, where they spent almost a whole season traveling and seeing the world, it felt much more real that way.
Can't say I like how modernized the world is either, but thats just not my taste when it comes to anime.
However there are a few things I really did enjoy, for one the ****in villains, my god they are awesome. I can honestly say Legend of Korra trumps AtLA in this way, because I really can't recall anyone in AtLA that was so horrific or intimidating that made me think "wow Aang, you do not wanna **** with them".And to be honest there has been no major villain in this show that I cannot at some point feel bad for or relate to while still being intimidated by, especially Zaheer, he's just all around great in everything he did.
I can also say I really was happy to see the return of some characters, specially Iroh and Toph, every scene with them was just fantastic and a huge shot of nostalgia.
A lot of this is comparisons to The Last Airbender, which is just based off of memories from when I last watched it though
