It might have said that anarchism was wrong but it also clearly thought that it was very cool

this guy points out how the creators were incapable of even laying out a coherent argument against communism, anarchism, fascism, etc partly because they had completely internalized democratic liberalism.

that’s what I get for reading that charming courier manga instead of posting

as penance I offer up a recommendation for watching Memories if you’ve not watched it and liked Akira

it’s a 3 part anthology

here’s a random bit of the ost.

if you look it up I’d argue you shouldn’t watch a clip of it— it’s visually really striking and each of the 3 shorts is pretty short! worth approaching blind. it was on Amazon prime video randomly a few months ago but it seems to be gone now

my issue with Korra is that it raised the stakes entirely too high with the antagonist in the second season - all the stuff with Vaatu, the spirit world, plunging the world into darkness, all that poo poo - that felt like it outweighed every antagonist after it

Bad Guy Anarchist and Bad Lady Fascist kinda pale in comparison to "I want to destroy absolutely everything because I'm a spirit who is thousands of years old and also directly connected to the origin of the Avatar"

Korra had a real problem of introducing cool and interesting concepts and then wimping out on them
It probably didn’t help that Nickelodeon was actively sabotaging the show for basically the entirety of its run

i don't know much about it, but my understanding from an ex is you're supposed to get involved in the romance between the mc and the fox spirit dude. you see this in a lot of stuff with fox spirits- fox spirits are sus but at the same time they make great spouses, reflecting the fact that foxes (well only some types i assume) are monogamous.

The problem with Korea was the cast was too small. It needed dozens more characters and also more time spent on major league pro bending

the only drawback is you can never let your fox wife watch the chicken coop

the hunters organization is elitist as hell but at the same time their bizarre version of capitalism probably makes more sense than the real thing. also the old dude nukes the bug emperor.
