So, The Last Airbender is good. Korra is also good, in a lot of ways. Animation? Brilliant. Choreography? Yes. Anything beyond a surface deep reading of its representation as politics? Well....

Its so weird, how did they go from AtLA, to this show where every good guy is either a cop or a CEO or literal royalty and every single villain is some caricature of a leftist? In the last season, theres a king whos demonstrably dumb, vain, and in no way should be in charge but hes just still played as the good guy and anyone who doesn't want him to be king is evil???

The Avatar, protector of the people, seeker of balance, coming in just to restore the status quo leaders every single time. Its the definition of liberal politics. Just made this thread to bitch, but lets all complain about how many times the heroes in these stories blindly return everything to how it was because "any change = bad"

They lowkey ruined Toph. She literally had a speech where she said Amon and Zaheer took "equality and freedom too far" and that's why they were bad. Also she went from blind bandit "let's break some rules" to queen of the cops.

I think LoK is a great example of lib brain, and in that sense is a really interesting think to examine. For liberals you can take freedom and equality too far

Oh yeah, I was annoyed. Toph invents the police?? The blind bandit who hates the rules invented metal bending super cops????

I mean, people grow up and sell out. Not everyone sticks to the ideas they held when they were ten.

Doesn't mean they didn't ruin her.
