Current Thoughts Korra

You know, I just saw a new post regarding Korra and I think this is a fair way to look at her character given the information we've gotten so far:

what if Korra is the character type that's an arrogant ass only is the female version of that? like, we have sherlock, L, House, the Doctor, etc. who are all brilliant in their respective fields yet are just flat out assholes towards everyone else and think they're better than everyone else. it's quite possible this is the type of character Korra might be since it's clear she's a prodigy at bending.

just something i thought id throw out there. this would also explain why im liking Korra so far because the arrogant ass is one of my favorite character types XD

All the ones you just labeled, I hate them to lol. I'm sorry they just act like total d-bags, pardon my french.

^ that could explain why you dont like Korra so far lol.

for the record, the Doctor is not a complete asshole like Sherlock, just thought id clear his name :p

but Lee, if you dont like the arrogant ass character type, are you inadvertently saying you dont like me because im almost positive i have come across as the arrogant ass on a number of occasions. hence why i like the character type :p

Personally I don't know you away from this forum, so I can't say I've seen the way you talk to people, or the way you act and so on. I mean you don't strike me as the type and I've been cool with you.

If you talk down to people on a regular basis though, that's a different story. I really don't condone that sort of behavior. It's different when people deserve it and so forth though.

^ i was kidding. and i meant forum only talk.

i dont talk much in public for the record...but when i do, i pretty much talk how i talk here...or write...you get what i mean :p

Just thought I'd share this but a pretty big fight has broken out on tumblr over Korra and whether or not she's a Mary Sue.

I said she might have mary sueish tendencies if you made an argument but the main person 'against' Korra compared her to Bella from Twilight. And I could not stand for that crap. There is no way she is like Bella.

Honestly I don't care what anyone says somewhere, even if I'm totally against it lol. Too many people in the world to try to debate, argue, or give your two cents/insight in.

She had MarySue qualities of course, but she's not full blown, never said that.

^ oh i know what your opinion is. im not implying you were on that 'side' of the argument per se.

i just thought id share what was going on since we had just finished this conversation. i actually got a response and kind of sort of debated it (i wasnt even expecting a response). the argument is that Korra is as one dimensional as Bella and that she is meant to be 'easily insert-able' where a woman can easily 'become' Korra by following her journey just as i said was the intention of Bella.

of course, i dont agree with that because i think its way too early to determine that kind of stuff. especially since all the clips and stuff released so far is from only the first episode or two. so obviously she's acting the same because she hasnt really changed yet....

but yeah, i know that wasnt your opinion, just sharing :D

Right there's always two opposite sides to an argument, which both have extremes. You can never actually converse or learn anything from either extreme side, so it's best to let them bark.
