Wow, were the ratings that bad?

Yup. They should have moved it back to Saturday morning. The ratings were pretty damn good but since they moved it to Friday nights, the ratings plummeted. Didn't help that they barely advertised the move.

True. Your core audience, kids and teenagers, aren't going to be around watching television at eight o'clock on a Friday night. Plus, after two less than stellar seasons, I've been reading about how people have dropping the series left and right.

Shame. It is a fun series. No where as good as the original but still worth watching.

Exactly. Especially during the summer. Who thought that was a good idea? Plus, they don't rerun the new episodes anymore. They used to show the new episodes on Nicktoons a day or two after the premiere on Nick.

From the few episodes I'd seen this season, it definitely found its footing. It was a vast improvement over the past seasons. So kinda bummed about this.

tumblr already saying nick conspired to ruin the ratings because they hate female poc leads enough to kill a lucrative show about one

Considering they were hesitant of a female lead, it's not that far fetched to me BUT They've been sabotaging this franchise since the beginning.

DA

They did pretty well with the first season, but yeah, after that they fucked up with handling the rest of Korra.

How did they sabotage the franchise from the beginin

Thanks for the link!

eh I thought S1 wasn't that great either.

I meant they did pretty well advertising and not sabotaging the first season. The put it on a good timeslot and advertised the hell out of it.

The only good thing about the first season was Steve Blum imo.

True.

There were some things I liked about S1, and some I didn't. But you're right, as far as actually running the show, they did much better.

Oh, please. The way Nick handles ATLA has been messed up all the way back to Book 2, when Lake Laogai premiered on nick.com a week before it was due to air on the actual channel.

And that doesn't even compare to Book 3, that aired its first four episodes alright, then had episodes 5-9 air in Canada or Britain first, and then had episodes 10 & 11 leaked online, and then had episodes 12 & 13 air in Britain or Canada first, and then had episodes 14 & 15 come out ON DVD FIRST, and then had the entire finale spoiled three months earlier by a 20 page children's picture book.

[/you-kids-these-days!rant]

Haahaaha oh wow that sounds like a marvelous fuck up! I never paid attention to the fandom, or the show's news, until a few years after the finale, so I kinda wish I was around around to see the disgruntling.

Same.

I didn't watch the first show until November 2011, seeing how much I missed makes me sad

Don't worry. That mess paled in comparison to the ship wars.

Aw, but that's a whole different kind of wank! (and one that I can still watch as it's even still ongoing)
Executive choices resulting in self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the foot is a particular sort of sad and grouchy wank.

It was kind of awesome because the majority of us just took the eps as they came, but also sad because we essentially never got a single "initial air date" for people to chat about real time. And yeah, it sucked for the people who really wanted to wait until Nick officially aired thing.

Especially for stuff like The Western Air Temple, which leaked in mid-December and still hadn't "officially" aired until mid-July.

Overall things were too bad though until the picture book leaked. Most of fandom was fine watching eps whenever, because they were still eps. But the book was essentially a plot summary with none of the fun or excitement of an actual episode.

A large number of us actually migrated over to a new community atla unspoiled, and then stayed in that little bubble-wrapped spoiler free zone for three months and avoided the rest of the fandom as a whole. Come to think of it, I'm AMAZED that we didn't any trolls. As much as people go on about how TERRIBLE the Avatar fandom was back then, it was a pretty considerate and nice group.

I rather miss it.

Overall things were too bad though until the picture book leaked.

Is this the same book that hinted Zutara? I wasn't involved but I still remember hearing some outrage.

I have no idea. I was so upset at having quarantined myself for three months only for the whole series to resolve itself with lionturtles and spirit-bending that I took a one year leave from the fandom. Threw myself into Doctor Who instead.

Don't forget the insane wait for the beginning of season 3, despite it being ready. To compare, season 1 ended in December 2005, and season 2 premiered on March 2006. That's reasonable. Season 2 ends December 2006-- season 3 premiers late September 2007.

Well, to be fair that was a conscious choice on the part of the studio, whereas the other things were all plain fuck ups.
