The funniest thing about The Legend of Korra defenders is that they almost never defend the main cast, because everyone knows the characters are largely terrible. Instead, they pivot to the most superficial aspects of the series, particularly its villains, who admittedly have interesting premises and compelling story beats right up until the point where the showrunners have to execute an overarching narrative that explains why they're actually wrong. And that's where the writing consistently falls apart, because Korra herself often has no coherent ideological or philosophical basis for disagreeing with them. The villains are ultimately proven wrong not through any meaningful confrontation with their ideas, but because the writers make them increasingly extreme until defeating them becomes a moral necessity. This GIO slop content of the day.
