Welcome To Republic City: Hmmm. Best qualities? Amazing world building details and modernity! Really trying to establish how it's DIFFERENT from Avatar! But I'm a little worried about sloppy, rushed, haphazard character work- Still, I can see what the show can become... I'm in.

A Leaf In The Wind: Loving a lot of the tangible, surface delights (my god, the grandkids) - but right now I'm getting a bit of the "lowered stakes" problem - where it's harder to care about smaller things - but that doesn't mean you CANT - you just gotta really make us care-

But I'm also worried because this is not one but TWO episodes in a row where the character's change is dramatically unmotivated! This NEVER happened on Avatar and I'm kinda worried? I'm also realizing I may need to write my thoughts out in longer form...

Reminder: some of you literally cannot seem to talk about what happens in a show without talking about what happens later on it. 1. Learn how to not do that. 2. I'm blocking immediately.

The Revelation: Now that's more like it! Relationships and goals clicking, clear conflicts, and I care both about the smaller stakes AND the really pressing danger. Feels nice! And I decided to do MINI-Recaps for those who want a bit more :)https://www.patreon.com/posts/37606826

The Voice In The Night: first episode where we can fully track Korra's psychology from beat to beat and it's dramatizing the complications. I more or less like our big bad. Still some worries, and mostly still getting used to the pace of this show which feels so different!

The Spirit of Competition: I mostly like that they burned through a lot of the will they / won't they dynamics pretty quick to just get to the point but compared to Avatar, these character dynamics BURN FAST. Like, the, stories are moving THE OC level fast... it feels odd.

Replying to @FilmCritHULK
1 of my fave things about their design is not just the eyes but their designs. Looking across previous benders, you can easily identify who is what just from how they're built! Like even the theory that Ty Lee is an Air Nomad descendant bc of her gray eyes & personality!

It's off the "recognize by silhouette" test that comes in animation, too!
