I really think some people don't understand the history behind the "history" that are watching at all. Many people 'see', but not 'observe'.
This series have a lot of connotations, such politics and social, from a showdown with a dictator; unto to release of real feelings. Almost all characters have a full evolution of her personality... even Naga hahaha.
At first I agree looks like a little child's series, but think is a masterpiece in all respects. I recommend this series to all public, seen or not any other series of the Avatar's universe.
PS. James Cameron's 'Avatar' not included. xD
Meanwhile the journey of Aang is about a human being turning into an Avatar,
Korra's journey is about an Avatar turning into a human being. Just as brilliant and as incredible as The Last Airbender. Unfortunelly, some peopole does not sees it that way.
I know the plot of the original story is problematic for a lot of folks, unrealistic in many ways, but it felt more like an analogy than an attempt at a concise depiction of "what if". This serial adaptation appears to try to keep a lot of the original premise, while making the story a bit more coherent to a traditional narrative. While it might risk making both types of viewers (conceptual and practical) unhappy, I think I'm going to continue watching and see if they can pull it off.
Excellent show. The first season was primarily a murder mystery then morphed into a revolution. Can't wait to see what the 2nd season brings. Even though I always suspend my disbelief when it comes to science fiction shows, I still had a little bit of a hard time with the seemingly inconsistencies with the size of the train. Some of the cars look and feel normal size. While other cars look and feel like they're two and three times wider than a normal train car. Also, they sure seem to travel from one end of the train to the other (10 miles) very very fast. But other than that I loved the show - lol.
