RyuujinBlueZ posted:Or I was just pointing out that both stories have their good and bad parts and maybe Korra isn't as terrible and Avatar isn't as perfect as people like to say? I can get behind TLA not being as good as people say, but Korra is most definitely not a good show on the whole. It's entertaining, but the writing is a trainwreck, and outside of the two Avatar Wan episodes it didn't really improve at all in season 2. I like the show but let's not kid ourselves about the writing

First Bass posted:This isn't Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, we're not going to get Super Saiyan Giant Korra throwing planets at God or whatever just because they decided that the manifestation of evil in the world was a great idea for a mere season 2 villain. I would have preferred that to the real season 2 honestly

dj_clawson posted:People genuinely used to worship the Emperor, who ruled with the Mandate of Heaven. Modern Asian regimes have copied that because they're not dummies. Mao created a cult of popularity around himself leading up to the Cultural Revolution so that he could use public sentiment to eliminate his enemies, which at that point was everybody. Since the regime he's founded has never fallen (just altered over time) and his real history has never been shown in China, people still think of him as a god who could do no wrong and make a pilgrimage to his mausoleum. Look, I'm not Asian so maybe it's not my place to say this, but if you seriously think Chinese people are that stupid holy poo poo

Actually it would be pretty rad if a possible Korra sequel got picked up by Adult Swim. That's basically the network it was made for

Jorghnassen posted:I want that Peanuts meets FLCL project they mentioned in the Nerdist writers podcast. I don't care for FLCL story-wise (or complete lack thereof), but I can appreciate the love of the visual esthetics. The story is 'boy comes of age', it's not convoluted or nonexistent at all. The plot is disjointed, but the stupid meme that FLCL is just a bunch of disconnected animation is ridiculous. Besides, the soundtrack is responsible for like 90% of the show's quality all by itself  I'm sorry, I'm a big fan of FLCLHere's a blog post by an anime/film nerd that explains FLCL http://animeyearbyyear.wordpress.com/2014/07/24/2001-2/ icantfindaname fucked around with this message at 22:34 on Sep 14, 2014 |
