It's hardly controversial to say Korra is better than 90% of tv-dramas today. Which main includes shit as N.C.I.S, C.S.I, Grey's anatomy etc.

And what the hell does that last line even mean in this subject.

Tongue in cheek you pos.

But tell that to the thousands of people that keep those shows going on their respective major networks.

And then where's Korra? Oh yeah, Nickelodeon

Discrediting a show because it's a cartoon? So close minded :facepalm:

Also Korra being pulled from the network (if that's what you were referring to) doesn't mean anything except that Nickelodeon didn't understand the audience that was watching LOK, because viewing numbers actually increased Laughing

Which also goes to show that it's not just a "cartoon" that appeals to kids, its main audience are people that are streaming it through the internet- i.e. young adult/adult audiences.

Also I'm at episode 6 in season 4 and so far I don't think it's much worse than season 3 at this point. I think it's highly enjoyable.

Definitely trying to stay away from spoilers and I'll be finishing the series up by tonight or tomorrow to make sure I don't get spoiled. Suffice to say though, from what I've heard...I'm pretty hyped for it.

Following the lead of the great conductor RG :coffee:

Finished it.

:bow:

Great way to end the show. Didn't really see that coming at all Laughing

by RedOranje Tue Dec 23, 2014 8:40 am

This explains a lot.

I thought James was a ferocious lover of anime porn scratch

Anyway, White Christmas was typical Black Mirror.
Good,
Mind-twisting,

Say if I wanted to watch this Legend of Korra show, would I have to watch the prequel Last Air Bender to full understand the whole thing?

by MaraVilla Tue Dec 23, 2014 4:28 pm

you havent seen avatar the last airbender Shocked

To answer your question you probs can watch Korra without watching ATLA but you wouldnt FULLY understand all of the stuff and the significance of some of the characters family history (sons/daughters of major characters in ATLA etc).

Highly recommend you watch ATLA first then watch Korra. ATLA>>Korra and 90% of tv shows. Better than the likes of SOA, Justified, TWD, True Dectectives etc... not even joking :coffee:

by McAgger Tue Dec 23, 2014 4:44 pm

Mara u wot m8? pls go. I don't want to hear you say that ever again.

Better than Justified...jesus mate.

I have to think about this cartoon thing before I hand over my man card.

by McLewis Tue Dec 23, 2014 4:57 pm

Would you say that about Archer or South Park though, Agger?

They are cartoons after all Rolling Eyes

The fact that your manhood is threatened by the medium the fiction is presented in really worries me hmm

The Dark Knight Returns was really dark etc. Lot's of comic books aren't for kids at all. It's just a way of presenting a story.

by El Gunner Tue Dec 23, 2014 5:16 pm

McAgger I think these guys are just trying to spark a reaction out of us by saying stuff like that 'better than 90% shows' thing. hmm

South Park is different. It's aimed for the humouristic side of adults/mature minds.
I mean, who doesn't love South Park.

Oh and btw, someone hasn't yet sold Archer to me, come on I'm waiting. Almost done with Justified.

You'll love Archer unless you're a tool without humour. Should be enough. Just watch it Proud

So animation=it must be for kids, i am too old and hardcore for this Laughing

by McAgger Tue Dec 23, 2014 5:40 pm

Neal, Archer is awesome. I'm a diehard fan. Best cartoon ever imo.

by El Gunner Tue Dec 23, 2014 5:45 pm

M99 wrote:So animation=it must be for kids, i am too old and hardcore for this

Basically

But this is me talking straight now.
I've never had a problem with animated movies, or animated shows or cartoons. God, my real life mate still watches cartoons and I don't make a p*ssy out of him for it.
I don't think Korra is for me though. Saw a few minutes of Avatar last air bender before and I just didn't feel it.

So yet again, it comes down to a matter of "feels". We've been down this road for before. It's all subjective.

So when I say something like "OMG Freeza you're crazy how can you class Fight Club as a tier 2 film?????????" then it needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. In my more reasonable mind, I know everyone has their own tastes and perception on things.

Oh and btw thanks Freeza. Archer on my list. Thumbs up

by Onyx Tue Dec 23, 2014 5:46 pm

Has anyone ever watch 'The Mummy - animated series'?

by RealGunner Tue Dec 23, 2014 6:08 pm

Few eps, didn't like it.
