Korra

[Blackhawk748]

Finished Book 2

I can firmly say I'm liking it. It doesn't feel like a children's show. I'm being entertained, not lectured. I'm really liking Mako and Bolin. Mako is not the brooding jerk he appeared to be in the first episode. He's heroic. Bolin is definitely the comic relief, but it's just shy of being like Sokka to be the butt monkey of all the jokes. He's competent and gets his share of heroic glory, not just in the Movers.

Book 2 is... Book 2. The Bolin sup plot with Eska is cringy and has some unfortunate subtext, but there were times where I had a chuckle. The villain is... bad. There are no two ways around it.

But it got us Varrick and that gets it leeway, cuz Varrick is great.

I'm still more annoyed at Book 1 and it's atrocious handling of the Korra/Asami/Mako thing. Like, Korra looks like a terrible person there (cuz she was being a terrible person) and I'm honestly amazed that her and Asami get along as well as they do. It's not a huge deal, but its an entirely unnecessary problem that could have been easily avoided
