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
Whatever the show's flaws, I do think her having most of the elements down at 4 was part of a genuine attempt at characterizing Korra as entitled and immature, showing her the same at 17 as she was at 4. Not the only purpose, but part of it. It may have been undermined by the writers' own beliefs, but it wasn't actually a grrl powah moment. The egregious strong women schtick was more ATLA's thing.
The issue in Korra's characterization is that, no matter how wrong she is, somebody else is always more wrong, either because they're suddenly written as nutcases, or just because they made Korra feel bad. The consequences she faces are only shown for brief moments, being reversed very quickly, while the focus is more on how her feelings, no matter how quickly they change, or how much of them are self-inflected, are valid. None of this is for propaganda reasons, but because the writers themselves are woke. I think they actually wanted to write Korra as troubled, but simply weren't capable of it. This is actually how progs interpreted troubled women in the early 2010s.
Where Korra does most of its propagandizing is in its proto-liberal patriotism. You can smell the Obama voters on the script. It's all about how cosmopolitan liberalism is so plainly the sole intelligent and moral belief system that you'd have to be evil or retarded to choose otherwise. Even if you recognize and attempt to fix flaws in the system yourself, you, as a pleb, will inevitably fuck it up. Only a true priest(ess) of liberalism can integrate your beliefs, and only insofar that they can be interpreted as an extension of liberalism, rather than a criticism of it.
There's definitely a connection between Korra's characterization and liberal patriotism, because one is the product of unchecked female narcissism and the other is fueled by it, but that's a whole separate wall of text.
