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.)

The Legend of Korra. So much potential wasted. If I say anymore it will turn into a five-page essay.

I want your five page essay on this.

I want your five page essay, too. I honestly can't pinpoint anything I dislike about the show and yet I was disappointed with it.

Completely agreed. Around episode... nine, I think? When there's that part with the non-benders being rounded up, and the woman calling to Korra about how she was THEIR bender, too... I remember thinking, "Holy shit, this show is absolutely amazing. A protagonist who's actually going to have her views challenged!"

And then, of course, the rest of the season happened.

Even the last episode would have been somewhat salvagable if it had ENDED with Korra opening her eyes in the Avatar state, having unlocked the spiritual side, but needing to go through more trials to unlock the rest. No, "Oh, you're sad, have the rest of your powers back", no cringeworthy, "Oh, Korra!" "Oh, ~Mako~!" (and I actually DID like Makorra at the beginning of the season, incidentally!), nothin'. Just setting up the next book beautifully.
