My thoughts on The Legend of Korra

Avatar: The Legend of Korra is a spin off of Avatar The Last Airbender and is set 70 years after the events  of The Last Airbender and boy do I not like this show....So far

I have now watched three episodes "Welcome to Republic City",A leaf in the Wind , and The Revelation.And I just don't like it maybe the bad taste of the Live-Action movie still haven't faded or maybe it's because I didn't want a spin-off I wanted to see what happened after the war...Wait not that is it I didn't want a spin off set so far off that nearly ever last character that I and other fans had grew to love are..dead ,and what are we left with Katara teasing us with the story of Zuko mother in the pilot episode

But it's not just the magic reset button I hate it"s also the character of Korra herself that rubs be the wrong away in the first two minutes of the show we see her as I don't know maybe a two three or four year out bending every element but air without an oz of training,isn't it suppose to take hard work for the avatar to master all four elements I guess not anymore more because she seems to have master level control of three elements form birth ,but not only that the one element she can't bend the one element we're going to see her learn where is we got to see Aang learn and master all other elements but is air,The one element beside water that she should have a natural bond with because water and air bending seemed to go together like peanut butter and jelly and since she is form the water tribe she should have been a water bender form birth but no air is the one element she has even been able to use.But it's not just her lag of airbending and instant master of all other element that bug me it's Korra herself you just don't get the since of wonder with her that you got with Aang sure she wasn't trap in ice for a one hundred years but she has been stuck locked up for year there should be some since that the world we're seeing for the first time is the world she's seeing for the first time as well but we don't get that what we do get is lots and lots of bending and foreshadowing for what's going to be the main plot of the show oh and also we get to see the love interest in the second episode so yeah there that

But even with all the said I was still willing to give this show the benefit of the doubt because of my love for the first show but then..then I saw something that make be rage I saw the skill the Aang learned because he hated the thought of killing the power to stop a person bending for good  being used so easily by the lead villain that just made me want to give up then and there ,even with that said I will still be watching at least the rest of the first season in hope of it turning around and for flashback peeking in the lives of character I do give a crap about
