TLA was a perfect animated series.

Korra had a certain charm despite being far inferior. The ambiguous “Korra might be gay” ending left a bad taste in my mouth.

Then I tried watching the Dragon Prince.

Made it through the first season I think before they introduced some lesbian queens. Stopped watching it there. They were just shoehorning lesbians into the series because they wanted DEI points I guess.

So I’m not going to even give this show a glance.

Woke policy has destroyed so much we used to hold dear, culturally.

Korra had a certain charm despite being far inferior.

I think the thing that really bugged me about Korra was just how lowly they cheapened bending in general. Gone was the respect for martial arts. Korra can learn complex air bending in the span of minutes after "unlocking" it (while all the other new benders arbitrarily both struggle and repeatedly airbend on accident. Mako, a literal street rat, could lightning bend with ease. Metal bending, while reasonably explained, was common to all hell though would have been fine if this was the only one on the list where the bending was cheapened. Blood bending was cheapened by the virtue of having it done without a full moon. Magma bending was cool (even if it was originally implied as an Avatar ability through the combination of fire and earth bending seen via Roku), but that too was cheap since it was instantly learned and nearly mastered the instant it was "unlocked".

It was just disappointing to see such a rich, well defined world become so bland as a result. Skill and mastery was replaced by commonality and mere desire. When everyone can be the hero, nobody is really the hero, and undermines the necessity of even having an avatar.

All the sports matches felt woefully underpowered for what even basic soldiers were doing during the time of Aang trying to cross the world.

They even added in fatigue like some video game mechanic...

It kinda sucked too, because I liked the idea of "pro-bending" (even if it was dropped really quickly by the creators). But you're right, this is supposedly professional bending where elites should be, and it just felt lame because none of these benders were anything special.

Just watched the trailer for 'Dragon Prince' and, of course, it has a black dreadlock king, no thanks. Netflix diversity quota. Think we've seen about enough of that in The Walking Dead and House of Dragons.
