TV #1 of 2016:
The Legend of Korra, season 2
Honestly, what even was that? I’ve never been a huge fan of this particular franchise, but this season represents a new low for me. It’s just such a mess on pretty much every level: plotting, character arcs, worldbuilding, you name it. And for Korra and Asami supposedly being ‘endgame’ — which was literally the first thing I ever knew about this show, long before I even watched Avatar — they’ve sure barely interacted for two whole seasons now. I had hoped that the weird ending to season 1 was just a small hiccup for the series, but I don’t even know how to deal with this show right now. I’ll still push on because these seasons are so quick and the program so highly-regarded, but I’m not happy about it.
