Oh Boy Glad I Found Someone Who Agrees (9-10 Years Before Me Haha). Rewatched Korra Last Month And This

Oh boy glad I found someone who agrees (9-10 years before me haha). Rewatched Korra last month and this just struck me so much - "I needed to suffer because otherwise I wouldn't be able to have empathy for people like Kuvira".... PLEASE. Did we watch the same show? Did we watch the same Korra have empathy for Tahno in Book 1 (who spent his whole screentime being a jerk to her and her friends) AND Tarrlok (the one who bloodbent and kidnapped her)????

Sure, she did need some character development in becoming more spiritual, less impulsive and think of others more (it's almost as if she was kept locked her entire life and everything was served to her at a silver platter so she never really learnt to take responsibility and guess what? The whole book 1 arc is pretty much about that - she grows so much in mostly beautiful and organic way)

Her torture in the end of B3 doesn't feel like genuine wish to explore traumatic experiences it almost feels like a device writers used just to break Korra for no reason other than stupid belief that misery = maturity. Her healing isn't complete (Zuko got 3 seasons with 20 eps each (after 3 years have passed in universe) and Korra (the main bloody character) got barely 14 eps), she never truly regains her fieriness and fierceness and by the end is basically subdued version of herself (Zuko on the other hand did get to tame his DESTRUCTIVE anger but was still deeply passionate and fierce person).

Also, while Zuko was given dignity in the scene of his scarring, Korra is shown in complete agony, camera lingers on her painful expressions and muscle movements to the point it stops feeling like the show is doing it to communicate the feeling of pain/despair and starts feeling like it's straight up exploitative...

bryankonietzko that’s great but would you care to address you felt the need to put korra through hell and high water for her to “learn compassion” as if she hasn’t been remarkably selfless since book 1?

I hate fanon-ization of Lily, James, Regulus and Barty (Evan, Dorcas, Marlene etc. are literally only mentioned in the books, there is nothing to mis-characterize)

Lily is side-lined for a non-existent, non-sensical ship (yeah, I hate jegulus), her Muggle origin is overlooked even though it played a MAJOR role in her life (heck the entire Marauders era takes place during the war against a wizard-supremacist, Muggle-hater and his racist followers). Her relationship with Snape and how his words and newly found ideologies affected is completely overlooked when he was her only magical friend during her entire childhood. Her relationship to her son? (yk, that one thing that set the entire series in motion...) - pfft, don't be silly, she is just a surrogate to James and Regulus.

James is portrayed as a ray of sunshine, good boy whose biggest sin was being a bit sarcastic. No, he WAS an arrogant asshole who mercilessly bullied another student simply for his own enjoyment. Yet he was also incredibly loyal man who didn't hesitate to share his home with his friend after he ran away from home and who grew out of his arrogant phase and changed himself for better because of a woman he loved (loved so much he died protecting her and their son later).

Regulus is portrayed as an edgy yet kind-hearted little aristocrat boy whose parents forced him into being a Death Eater - no, he wasn't pressured into becoming anything, Regulus for the longest part of his life WAS a Voldemort supporter. He collected newspaper articles about Voldemort, he talked to Kreacher about how great Voldemort is and how great his ideas were - yes, he realized later he was wrong but it doesn't suddenly mean he was pressured into anything.

Barty is portrayed as a silly little babygirl who has an IQ of goldfish. No, he was one of the smartest characters with multiple talents but was also a mentaly-unstable young man (Azkaban/Dementors have horrific influence on everyone but while other Death Eaters managed to last 10+ years there he was already on his death-bed in a year and started to scream for him mother the same day he was brought in) who went completely insane and evil by the end and craved for father figure so deeply he was ready to become a murderer/torturer to get one. His manipulativeness and sadism? Non-existent in fanon...

In the end... I truly dislike the overall state of "Marauders era" fandom - like, they are a generation impacted by war and ever-changing politics who essentially needed to choose a side while they were still children, some betraying their families and loved ones - and then you try seeing stuff in Marauders fandom and they are turned into edgy teens who all wear crop-tops and black nail polish, listen to Taylor, go to Starbucks and talk in a Tik-Tok slang....
