I love the new team. I can't wait for Asami to break up with Mako. THEN it will be perfect :P

[aislingthegreat.livejournal.com]

I think it needs to be more developed for it to click. *rues shortness of season*

[morieris]

It seems like it had very little time to develop the friendship and jumped quickly to romance...which didn't have to be included to begin with.

[(Anonymous)]

It's still relatively early so yea I don't feel the same way about them as I do about the original team. Mako, Bolin, and Asami definitely need some more development outside Korra though. That was one thing I loved about Katara and Sokka. They had their own stories outside of Aang that were profound and heartfelt. It's a bit more lacking in the new Avatar cast (that development seems to have gone more towards Lin and Tenzin which is fine because they are AWESOME). Like all we know about Asami is she's rich, she's beautiful, she can drive a car and her father is an Equalist. We know Bolin likes girls and is silly. We know Mako is EMOTIONALLY CONFLICTED. We also know they lost their parents. That's it. THere hasn't been any additional development with them outside of the little Korra/Mako/Bolin/Asami square we had in episode 5.

[(Anonymous)]

Mako just kills the team for me.

[naoto_fuyumine]

To be honest, I think that it was a really bad move to have such a complicated love situation before the team even becomes proper friends. :(

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like the team would have a better friendship dynamic if Mako wasn't such a dick to everyone. The guy has been inconsiderate to everyone's feelings by being a total player, c'mon.

Teenage drama, Bryke style.

[(Anonymous)]

hahaha it looks like mako's fucking bolin and korra and asami are looking on like "hm, yes, good"

[kallanda_lee]

Honestly? That's the least of my worries about the series. People (especially young people) sometimes just end up with their lives entwined and random meetings can become friendships to the grave. Especially for a bunch of outcasts, which is what they basically are.

[streetcake]

I wish they used the first season to build their friendship and then use the second season for romance shit. Because it infuriates me that the only characters to get character devopment in team avatar are the ones who are involved in the current love triangle. >:\ Geez, Sokka was taken more seriously than Bolin currently is.

[rivia]

i blame the shortness of the season, and since i think this was the original plan for the show even if it was just a 10 ep one-off, i have to ask why they thought going this route was a good idea. there's only so much you can pack into such a small number of episodes.

[(Anonymous)]

You realize this show is only 9 episodes in, right? Give it time.

[celestiel]

I swear it'd be so much better if they cut out this love triangle bullshit. I don't like love triangles anyway, but dear god it's just cringe-worthy. Whenever the they have non-romantic moments together, they're all lovely. If they just had those more often, I think it'd be perfect.

That said, for what it's worth, I think all the comparisons between Korra and A:tla are pretty unfair. I mean, I didn't really love A:tla till like 10 episodes in, and we're only at episode 9 of Korra now? Give it more of a chance. Plus there's less episodes altogether, so of course they'll have a little less breathing room (which is also why it's kind of worrying that they've spent so much time on irrelevant shit, but I'll reserve judgement).

Still don't like the love triangle though. Also Mako's a dick and he better get in trouble soon.

[(Anonymous)]

Korra >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Aang (so glad he's dead in this series, tbh)

Team Pabu forverrrr

[diet_poison]

Really? I like them and love their dynamic, when the romance drama triangle/rectangle bullshit isn't messing it up. Which, fortunately, it is not ALWAYS doing.

[ex_paola492]

omg so very much agreed. And I was reading this last night/today which hits exactly all the points that I find annoying. Also the love-triangle/cuadrangle/whatever feels so awkward and out of place.

eta: also adding that the character inconsistency due to romance makes me want to hit my head against a wall. They created fun and wonderful characters that you could easily develope (and I personally found the first 4 episodes fun) but the forced romance/jealousy fucks it up so bad.

[gabzillaz]

I agree :/

[(Anonymous)]

I agree. Nothing about their bonds seem natural to me. It feels more like they're friends because that is the way things have to be in order for the story to progress. The romantic aspects feel the same way. Korra's relationships with folks outside of Team Avatar on the other hand? Very well written and don't feel forced at all.

[lit_wolf.livejournal.com]

While I don't think the new Team Avatar are as closely and genuinely bonded as the older Team Avatar, that doesn't mean I like them any less.

Also remember that the new Team has only been together for a little while at this point, and they haven't even been through that much together. They still have a long way to go until they reach the unity of the original Team but they'll get there.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeaah, I have to agree with this. I'm a little bummed that we're at the last episode of the season and the dynamics between these four are crushes or rivalry because of crushes. As much as I disliked episode 5, I thought that Korra and Bolin's 'date' was at least the nicest of interactions we've gotten from the Krew, but apart from that... I really just want everyone to be friends with each other.

[(Anonymous)]

Where is Korra's nose.

[(Anonymous)]

Eh. I like them more. Mostly because for 3 seasons of Atla I disliked THREE of the main characters while for 9 episodes of LOK I have disliked ONE main character.

Ergo LoK is better for me.

[nyxelestia]

I blame the shortness of the season and how they had to develop the friendships very quickly. In A:TLA they had more time develop, but here, not so much - made worse by the fact slightly older characters aren't so quick to bond as the younger A:TLA cast, particularly with the kind of emotional baggage most of them are carrying.

[otakugal15]

I can see it between Bolin and Korra. Those two are BFFs, even though I WISH they'd be more. Just not Mako and Korra. They're too painfully awkward in their obvious, forced attraction to each other that Bryke are TRYING to force down our throats. And poor Asami. I think she WANTS to be Korra's friend, but with how everything's written, she can't due to Korra's feelings and it's getting painful to watch.

Outside that, the show is awesome.
