here’s a little list of problems i had with the legend of korra

• toph was a cop 
• love triangles ate up most of the development and bonding btwn the main cast in the first season 
• amon’s plan would never have worked and his motivations were weak
• because of amon being a fraud, the entire equalist cause was discredited and the issue of whether or not there is a class divide btwn benders and non-benders was dropped altogether 
• toph was a cop
• tonraq is chief of the southern water tribe for some reason and not idk katara or kya (sokka inherited the chiefdom but he’s dead and we don’t know if he had an heir. tonraq isn’t even from the southern tribe)
• kuvira was right 
• wu deciding to dissolve the monarchy and establish democracy in the earth kingdom literally made me gag like wow this is blatant propaganda lol
• asami is a war profiteer (lmao) 
• the red lotus was right 
• relies too heavily on the viewer having prior knowledge about the universe / requires you to have watched avatar the last airbender first
• varrick married his servant basically
• ATLA told the story of how the avatar used his powers to aid a resistance. LOK told the story of how the avatar used her powers to shut down resistances. because radicals are bad. go democracy! 
• toph was a cop 
• katara old ass was relegated to being a healer and had basically no active part in the series. not even when they spent an entire season IN HER TRIBE
• we never got to see what the fire nation was like so, within the context of the show, the fire nation only exists in mentioning 
• this show basically discards characters once they’ve fulfilled their purpose. where is the lieutenant? didn’t he really believe in the equalist cause? why would all of the equalists suddenly cease their efforts just because amon turned out to be a lying, manipulating BENDER?
• introducing raava and vaatu makes it so that the avatar, no matter what they do or why they do it, will always have their actions moralized and they will ALWAYS be Good. because the avatar spirit is the embodiment of goodness. so avatar = good, opponents = bad, even when the opponents’ seem to understand balance and order better than she does
• when did the white lotus get so… wack? 
• did i mention toph was a cop
