you know for a fact that zukka is not getting any sleep. they’re both the types of dudes that claim that it’s possible to get four hours of sleep while being completely fine while leaving out the details of the copious amount of energy drinks they consume, the midnight munchies, and the crippling weight of the world and overwhelming anxiety consuming them.
I genuinely think the premise for the ATLA show is so cool, and it kinda sucks to see people already dump on it when there is *so little* known about it besides the one summary that we got.
ANYWAYS it seems that they’re taking inspiration from the very first concept of ATLA which had that futuristic, post-apocalyptic vibe (shown in concept art below) and I am really eager to see how they tackle that in the new show!
the fact that the atla movie never even got a proper trailer, not even a lick of a teaser trailer, is so unreal.
some dudes TikTok popped up where he briefly summarized his experience with LOK and it simply went “I went into this show expecting Korra to be this awful human being making the worst decisions, and then the show ended” and like, yeah.
god he’s literally perfect..
I think the biggest thing regarding the concern of the new avatar show potentially bringing in more Korra hate is that - the people who hate her character already hate her and will continue doing so. This show could paint Korra as one of the best Avatars ever seen who passed without leaving any problems behind and people would *still* hate her.
Another important note is that this is just following the pattern and theme we’ve seen with past Avatars. Every Avatar has to clean up the mess of the previous Avatar, and every Avatar leaves the world with some unresolved conflict. We see this with Yang, Kuruk, Kyoshi - hell, Roku’s inaction led to genocide, colonization, and a 100 year war. The same thing happened with Aang leaving behind unresolved conflicts, and now the same will happen with Korra. Korra isn’t the only Avatar who will leave problems behind, and she won’t be the last. This is a pretty important lesson Korra herself learns during LoK, the Avatar can’t fix everything, and at the end of the day they’re still human.
Again, I do understand the frustrations of Korra facing hatred and misogyny, but I am not a fan of this attitude that any future Avatar projects should only show Korra in a positive light with no flaws, and if she faces any more hate from misogynists, it’s the writers fault, this way of thinking is so restrictive and isn’t fair to both Korra as a character, and the writers who enjoy writing complex female characters. We shouldn’t sanitize Korra just to try and please asshole misogynists, and I think it’s unfair to blame writers for fandom discourse and incels.
Anyways! As always I will reserve judgement until more information comes out and the actual show releases, but Bryke and the writers love Korra, and while I understand the anxiety, I am honestly not too worried. This could easily go in a direction where Korra wasn’t 100% responsible for this cataclysm, but something happened that makes the people blame her (just like how there were characters in The Last Airbender who blamed Aang for being gone and for not stopping the 100 year war). We will see! Happy Friday everybody, and happy birthday ATLA!! ❤️❤️
zukka moots where art thou…
the nice thing is that I do have more time now to engage in fun fandom activities and to actually get back into drawing frequently, I just gotta beat this art block which this time around feels extra irritating because it just feels like anxiety around creating in general which STINKS
