God, fan theories are so fucking tiring
Maybe take that time and energy and engage critically with the themes and messaging of a show instead of trying to prove your specious nonsense
@coriander okay sure, but have you heard of my legend of korra season 1 fan theory
@wallhackio @coriander as i recall your “fan theory” was proven wrong by canon a few episodes later which automatically converts it from “fan theory” into “fix-it concept”
@Lady @coriander actually yeah that's right
@wallhackio @coriander fix-it concepts are better because instead of claiming that canon IS making this niche and weird claim, you are claiming that canon SHOULD have made this niche and weird claim, which is more critical
@Lady @coriander I'm not sure I would say that Korra should have been done my idea, although I do like my idea more than what they did.
for me season 1's critical problems are:
1) the showrunners seem to imply that the inherent disparity between benders and non-benders isn't a genuine source of inequality in the show's universe
2) a significant source of conflict for Korra near the very end of the season is immediately resolved, when it should have been a source of conflict in the next season(s)
3) Mako, Bolin, and maybe Asami are not interesting characters (although this plagues the whole show and not just season 1)
4) Mako, Bolin, Asami, and Korra do not spend enough time with each other for them to be a believable friend group (this also plagues the whole show and not just season 1)
My fix-it concept won't resolve any of these problems.
@wallhackio @Lady @coriander to my understanding season 3 eventually walks back point 1 in pretty explicit terms but i don’t know what that actually amounts to
@aescling @wallhackio @coriander no not really; season 1’s conflict is actually “resolved” in the recap at the beginning of season 2 when they say that they replaced the council with an elected nonbending president, but this doesn’t REALLY address the main point (which i think is impossible to address in the Avatar universe)
@aescling @wallhackio @coriander point 2 on the other hand is walked back thruout season 4, but only thematically (in that Korra continues to deal with psychological fallout from the events of the previous 3 seasons)
