The only ‘bad’ thing about Avatar was that I’ve seen it using Dutch voice overs and the scheduling was all over the place.

I think I’ve seen the first few episodes of Korra. I’m not sure if they ever did broadcast the entire series.
Definitely a worthy sequel that dared to ask good questions and introduce new conflict.

I’d say that the awesomeness of Aang is why I never liked the Cameron Avatar movie (aka ‘pocahontas in space’).  The latter was sooo predictable. A frikking kiddy cartoon about a reincarnating avatar casually introduced the fact that the Avatar had been a woman in one of his past lives.

Heck the thing that annoyed me the most is that for some reason tv channels think that kids don’t deserve to have shows shown in order that makes sense.
OTOH … this pretty much happens to anything these days. It’s why I rarely get into tv-series, because even if they have more than one season you can’t be sure if the damned thing won’t change time slots or suddenly restart from episode 1 again.

It’s the reason I stopped watching ‘the big bang theory’, because the repeats highlighted how the show devolved from the geeky sitcom devolve into a yet another generic Friends-clone style sitcom.

Comics is a medium I never understood TBH. Why read a thing that barely covers five pages of text ?
The episodic nature of the medium is another thing I don’t like. What if there is an author existence failure ?
