With a cursory google search I believe these (or at least the first one) are from an OVA called Riding Bean.

That was pretty fun to watch. I looked up if there was going to be a 5th season, but all I could find was the internet exploding about Korra being a lesbian? I don't know what the gently caress.

Nope, and if Nick had their way after the 2nd season there wouldn't have been a 3rd or 4th season at all, but they had already ordered them

And yes, Korra was revealed to be les/bi in the finale, that actually happened

Do we know why Nickelodeon didn't want to order more seasons after the 2nd?

Was it not printing enough money to offset the costs or was there something else at work?

This and Nickelodeon has been trying its damnedest to become the next Disney Channel. Cartoons just aren't for those hip pre-teens I guess.

Nick was somehow surprised that Season 3 of Korra didn't get good ratings. What with their not advertising it and only announcing the premier less than a week before it started.

Then there is the other realm of thought that says that maybe they moved Korra around because it wasn't attracting the demo they wanted because little kids would rather watch Spongebob and older fans would just pirate it off online. I don't really agree with that assessment because anytime you move a show to Friday nights you are going to get poo poo ratings.

Cartoon Network is the only entity in the US willing to fund cartoons that aren't either Family Guy clones or terrible garbage like Spongebob or Johnny Test, and even then most of their original shows are fairly formulaic and similar, like Adventure Time, Chowder, Flapjack, etc

And even then CN will gently caress over shows because for stupid reasons, just look at most Gendy projects like Samurai Jack and Symbiotic Titan; and also CN will gently caress over DC Animated stuff for very flimsy reasons.

Fixed that for you. I maintain the first 3 seasons of Spongebob are awesome and that the show went downhill afterward.

Cartoon Network in Australia ran a ten-episode marathon of Samurai Jack a few weeks back. I'd forgotten how good it was :sigh:. That movie to finish it off is coming one day... right?

This was my reason for not bothering. They lost any semblance of good will after that mess.

I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?



I didn't dislike S2 as much as a lot of other people, but it wasn't very good. Especially the first half holymoly.
S3 is probably the best season in the entire franchise next to TLA's s2 and Korra's last season was also drat good.

Have some content:

I dropped Korra halfway through season 2 because I wasn't liking it. Since I heard it gets better I was thinking of watching it again, does anything I need before watching season 3 and 4 happen in the second half of season 2 or can I just skip that?

You totally have to watch at least the finale because it seriously changes the world up for the rest of the show.

You'll also want to see the two-parter titled Beginnings, since it's about the first Avatar and how he ended up mastering every element.

The two things you need to know about Season 2 to watch Season 3 are the battle with the big bad of Season 2 has severed the Avatar's connections to the past lives and that the Sprit world and the world of humans has been brought back together for the first time in thousands of years. So now spirits can come into the regular world.

Also if you haven't seen it yet track down the Season 2 two parter about the origins of the Avatar. It is disconnected from the rest of the season and is just a little stand alone story.

Yeah. I'm pretty solidly one of those that shakes their fists at networks over cartoons but even I can't bring myself to feel offended about Nick effectively shitcanning the show since it kinda brought it on itself. Hills to die on, it's not one of them.
