Didn’t watch it yet, as I’m only 2 episodes in and Idon’t want to taint my first view too much.
But from what I’ve seen of the show, I understand how they reach this conclusion. And Jessie Gender usually has quite a good grasp on these things.
Edit: Kind reminder that this post is for sharing/discussing the video, not for dunking on the Netflix adaptation.
Edit2: Watched it now. Spoilers for the first 2 episodes and light spoilers for the rest of the live action show, season 1.
Late reply, but you should.
I like Korra better. I think most people dislike it just because they immediately watch it after ATLA, which is unfortunate.
Another aspect that’s underappreciated is the sheer number of parallels/connections between the shows. After poking through this for awhile (then recognizing it in a rewatch), the two shows feels more like a cohesive whole… 2 cycles of the Avatar. The sheer number of callbacks that must be intentional are mind-boggling.
