** Mixed feelings. Episode 1 was painful, Korra is like another Subaru at the beginning. Fortunately they ease off the "this character is naive due to her upbringing and we need to show it" pretty quickly. Seems like it could have some promise, but the plot development seems very formulaic ("Introduce Heroine. Introduce Teacher. Inevitable heroine/teacher conflict. Introduce allies. Introduce nemesis.") - does it manage to grow beyond this? Also a bit wary of another year-long show. --maxb | ** Mixed feelings. Episode 1 was painful, Korra is like another Subaru at the beginning.

*** Does it ever cease being a fantasy adventure show? No, at least not in the part I've seen. Does it get into more complex/ambiguous territory, develop meaningful longer-term arcs, and go beyond simplistic good vs evil? Yes, absolutely.

** Figure skating is sports, right? :-) I was a bit uncertain about it because some of early episodes felt a bit too silly, but it seems to have risen beyond that now that it's entered the tournament arc - so now I think it's a credible option. --maxb | ** Figure skating is sports, right? :-) I was a bit uncertain about it because some of early episodes felt a bit too silly, but it seems to have risen beyond that now that it's entered the tournament arc - so now I think it's a credible option. --maxb | ||
