F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with recaptchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

(Today's post is below.)

Yeah, I agree there's definitely potential for the political situation to turn for the worse (since there's the precedent of the Fire Nation going crazy on superiority over everything, not just bending), just that that's not where the show was headed in this particular situation. And it does make me uncomfortable that some people are so quick to get aggressive about interpretations that don't go along with the power-imbalance angle.

Agree soooo much about Korra's character development. Like, her hotheadedness and sheltering was what caused her inability to airbend, and addressing her short-comings as a level-heade, thoughtful leader would have ironed-out the gaps in the narrative that we saw regarding bender/non-bender relationships.

And it's really weird because apparently s2 is going to deal more with the spirit world and it'd have been a great opportunity for her to explore her spiritual side. I get that when they were greenlit for second-third seasons, s1 was well into production, and I think that that screwed THAT particular aspect. Though it still doesn't excuse how clunky her character development was.

Asami was preeetty much shafted :( her conflict with her dad would have been great to see explored better.

That's... that's actually the best way to describe what happened to Bolin, too. Dang.

sadly, practically EVERYONE'S character development was clunky, probably for that very reason :(

it's kind of a commentary sad state of the world when i'm happy they bothered to devote any time at all to asami's conflict with her dad

if hiroshi really is coming back next season, i hope they do more with it

(though really i want them to do more with asami and korra because dammit the avatar universe needs more solid female friendships)

hiroshi's va confirmed awhile back he did recordings for season 2. also since asami has to run the company and has no idea how i imagine she might have no choice but to visit her dad.
