Legend of Korra Book 4 Chapters 2-3 review: Korra Alone/The Coronation

Book 4 of the Legend of Korra continues on Nick.com

#14 The Last Airbender

Yeah, this isn't going to be my 50^th review, I miscounted badly

With

13 Rage reviews

6 Guilty Pleasures reviews

9 Legend of Korra books 1-2 reviews

8 Legend of Korra book 3 reviews

4 Doctor Who review

2 Arrow season 1 reviews

3 Avatar: The Last Airbender reviews

A Batman (1989) review

3 Star Wars reviews

3 Lego Star Wars reviews, and

2 Star Wars: The Clone Wars reviews

I count this as my 55^th review (excluding that Doctor Who retrospective which wasn’t really a review)

Ah, well, maybe I'll get the 100th review correct. This is my celebration, on one of my least favourite movies ever, and it's fitting, since I've done more reviews on this franchise than any other, that the Avatar franchise would be my focus. Ladies and Gentlemen, I present M Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender

M Night Shyamalan, what happened to you after the 6^th sense? People were calling you the next Spielberg, then came Signs, described the Nostalgia Critic as "the invasion of the plot holes," "The Village" which I cannot describe because I haven’t seen it at all, then came "Lady in the Water" where Shyamalan cast HIMSELF as a writer whose words will "change the world" and to top off this ego trip THE VILLAIN WAS A CRITIC. Then came "The Happening", the movie that made Mark Whalberg look like a bad actor (before Michael Bay came close to him), and Shyamalan could not describe the movie without using the word "Happening"

So, it makes perfect sense that Nickelodeon would turn down the experience of people dedicated to the Avatar Franchise (Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino) and chose Shyamalan, someone whose writing experience is in the horror/comedy genres to write this martial arts family action adventure movie, and not only write it, but produce and direct it as well. Shyamalan was given $300 million for a 3-movie franchise, but the first movie came out at $150 million and whilst financially successful was slammed critically and no sequel has been announced (thank heaven for small mercies) let's dig into The Last Airbender, and see how big a sh*t storm Shyamalan can bend.

TV Retrospective: Avatar: The Last Airbender Book 3: Fire

The review of the Last Airbender will be coming out on Wednesday and boy do I have a lot to say about that movie, but before that, let's take a look at the final series of the beloved show.

Spoilers to follow

TV Retrospective: Avatar The Last Airbender Book 2: Earth

It's time to look at Book 2 of the Last Airbender (Book 3 on Monday, with Wednesday being the review of The Last Airbender.... oh joy)

TV Retrospective: Avatar: The Last Airbender Book 1: Water

With my review of the Last Airbender coming later this month, it seemed like a useful time to look back at the series that inspired the greatness of Korra, as well as the sh*t that is the movie

I will do the review in 3 stages, each looking at a particular book, classifying the episodes and ranking the best and the worst of them (although sometimes the worst are by no means bad episodes, just not particularly interesting)

So, let’s start with book 1

Editorial - What I want to see in The Legend of Korra book 4

Korra book 3 is done. And book 4 is already on its way. Whether it'll be Nick.com exclusive as the latter half of book 3 was, remains to be seen, but probably

But unlike most TV retrospective, we won't be looking back today, but looking forward. This is a list of things I want to see in book 4, beware, there will be spoilers from book 3, book 2, book 1, Avatar: The Last Airbender and the comics

TV Retrospective: Legend of Korra Book 2 Chapters 1-4 - Rebel Spirit/The Southern Lights/Civil Wars (parts 1 and 2)

What better way to start off star wars than with the legend of Korra book 2 part 1

So, you might be asking, what’s with the formatting of this one, you seem to be doing random length episodes

I’m working these reviews in arcs

Part 1 – The Water Tribe Arc (Rebel Spirit – Civil wars)

Part 2 – Everyone’s an idiot except Mako parts 1 and 2 (Peacekeepers and the Sting)

Part 3 – Saga of the first Avatar (Beginnings)

Part 4 – The spirit world saga (featuring everyone’s an idiot except Mako (3)) (The Guide and the New Spiritual Age)

Part 5 – The final battles (featuring everyone’s an idiot except Mako (4)) (Night of a thousand stars – Light in the dark)

So, with that said, let’s start with The water tribe arc.
