I mean, Korra got pretty "woke" towards the end there, with the alphabet soup shit, so this is not that surprising, unfortunately...
As a fan of the OG series, the first few Korra seasons were ok, but man did it really fall off a quality cliff/jump the shark, storyline-wise, there (much like GOT, I guess)...
But yeah, this is much, much more blatant, obviously, lol...
If you still watched past "I'm the (brown woman) Avatar and you gotta deal with it" from the beginning of the first episode then your standards are so low that anything you consider "good" is invalid.
Korra was literally screaming its wokeness in your face from moment one, its entire conception was built that way.
I disagree on two levels.
Firstly, the next avatar in the cycle was supposed to be a waterbender, who are all Eskimo save for the swamp tribe. Her being born in the southern water tribe and not being brown would have stood out as inconsistent.
Secondly, "you gotta deal with it" was a great introductory line and immediately sets up her character arc. She starts off bold, brash, uncaring of others, and downright destructive. Her first escapade into the city literally leaves a wake of destruction worse than the damage the bad guys caused, and she gets called out on it by the adults in the room. While blue-haired whales were obsessed over this line for stronk womyn reasons, anyone who actually watched the show knows that Korra's rash behavior was not being glorified. over four seasons she learns respect, restraint, and dignity, and is a shadow of her former "you gotta deal with it" bratty self.
except the part where Aang was considered a prodigy knowing just airbending at age 12, while Korra could bend all 4 elements at age 4 despite living in a place where only water and air exist
and another part which was highlighted at the end of first book, in which she conveniently gets her avatar powers back and gets forgiven by all previous avatars because reasons
and let's not forget that she learns airbending, the bending style that requires user to stay calm, cool and collected, through getting angry at Amon and punching him really hard
just go and watch E;R's review videos on the series, it's pretty entertaining even if you like the show
The villains were always the best part about Korra
