Or at least until I see enough reactions of the result for me to approximate an opinion.<br /><br />DiMartino and Konietzko sure did a good job with the first series, but Korra was mostly mediocre with little glimpses of inspiration here and there in season three. It's easy to forget how one main character's lack of development over four seasons was a running joke in the fandom, how the series endlessly frustrated its viewers with its unambitious and non-sequiteur storytelling choices.<br /><br />For all we know, the Netflix people might have wanted to tone down some of the big words in favour of more consistent character stories (like the Aang and Katara relationship, which was all over the place in the original). The departure of DiMartino and Konietzko doesn't change my expectations either way, since the remake was mostly unnecessary anyhow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14134422033809646038noreply@blogger.com
