Oh man. When I heard that I knew I was going to have a bad time.

Unfortunately, the aesthetic also does nothing to help the rest of the show either. All that steampunky stuff with the overly 1940s looks just blazes in that kind of low brow short sighted conservatism that gets under my skin.

And they couldn't even get the revolutionary stuff right. You've got a guy who can break benders and instead of sharing this knowledge with his comrades, he keeps it for himself and calls himself a savior. I looked into the character. Unfortunately, he's not an equalist which makes the whole point of it being revolutionary almost laughably insulting.

Holy shit. How do you get something so smart and compelling like The Last Airbender and then start up some fucked up shit like The Legend of Korra.

At least the avatar is a female who's not completely white I guess. :/
