Legend of Korra, Season 2, Episode 10-
This moment was awesome! And that moment was awesome! Now if only the stuff between and leading up to it made ANY SENSE AT ALL.
I want their writing staff fired. There are these occasional, profoundly beautiful moments, that are just *wasted*. And I'm sick to death of Korra being helpless despite being the most badass chick since Toph, Mai, Katara, and Ty Lee. I'm *sick* of it. That one sequence would have been so cute and had so much meaning, but nothing she does is ever competent and she never gets out of problems on her own recognizance and soseeing her as a little baby girl lashing out and flailing until she's set straight by Iroh is just icing on the damn cake. There's flawed and then there's rolling the idiot ball, Sisyiphean style, before you. I don't mind watching her fight and fail and learn again- but I really want that last part in there. She doesn't learn, change or grow. None of her choices matter.
And this nonsense with Vaatu and Unulaq has got to stop. Where is his motivation, what is he going for, and Wan Shi Tong really is the epitome of the intellectual idiot. What the fuck. I am so done. And why would you waste Professor Zei? Spirits should be a bit alien and frightening, but this just makes them seem so- small.
I mean *really*.
There are definitely going to be overhaul AUs. I can't let this stand.

And spirits were way cooler in my head.
