Yeah. Me too.

I've seen a disgusting number of people bawwing over the fact that they were expecting LOK to be something that it was never set up to be: a preachy didactic treatise on oppression, and they're mad that it's about martial arts and blowing things up (the horror!). Not to mention the snottiness I've seen from certain fans toward those who simply like General Iroh for being badass and pretty, because apparently we're supposed to hate him because he lacked foresight and screwed stuff up.

Something the fandom should remember: "Repeat to yourself 'It's just a show; I should really just relax.'"

The MST3k mantra saves us, and saves all the world. (Or, maybe that was someone else... oh, well.)

The MST3K mantra does not apply to stories that want to be taken seriously.

Feel free to haul it out when someone starts nitpicking the worldbuilding of The Mighty Boosh.

But Korra--Korra wants to be taken seriously. Except that it is a mess, and judged by its own standards, it matters that it's a mess. You might not care about the ways in which it's a mess, but that doesn't mean it's not a mess. It just means you don't care.

Oh no, I agree with you-- to a point. Criticize away at all the things that could have been done better, but when things start getting too serious and too heated and too angry, then I think taking a step back and relaxing is a good idea.

In that case, I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU that criticism that stops being about the thing and starts being about other people watching the thing is a terrible habit that I would love for fandom to break.

...Where was the martial arts and blowing things up? I just saw a love triangle shoehorned in.

BECUZ OK WHY EVEN BOTH PUTTING A PERSON OF COLOR IN IT UNLESS UR GOING TO MAKE THE SHOW ABOUT THE CHARACTER'S STRUGGLE WITH ISSUES OF RACE OPPRESSION? THERE'S NO POINT IN MAKING A CARTOON DIRECTED AT CHILDREN WITHOUT IT.
