Been watching Legend of Korra past couple days...and the HSQ just keeps getting higher

First series was better, IMO. Also, the advancements made in the time between Last Airbender and Korra makes one wonder: What the hell has that society been doing for the past several hundred reincarnation cycles? If it had remained in pseudo-almost medieval stasis for that long, I'd be more lenient, but seriously.

I also dislike three more things about the series. First, suddenly it's not that hard to metalbend or bloodbend. These were two techniques that only came about from intense pressure, where the only feasible way out was through the one or the other. Second, I feel like the whole hierarchy of "Normal earthbender gets beat by metal, metalbender gets beat by purified platinum" is just going to escalate over the series- Suddenly, a metalbender who can even bend THAT is going to show up, until someone stops them, ad infinitum.

Also, suddenly the Order of the White Lotus is just like, a generic open group. The only people in it in the first series are the badass old folks who are masters of their respective skills, and incredibly wise and all that. Now we've got, in that one episode, the White Lotus guys who are basically generic grunts, even though it was implied the Order was secret and all that for a LONG time. Sure, they captured Ba Sing Se openly. But nothing stopped them from just disappearing again.

That was longer than I expected.

Whoever said something about being able to pre-load is either a dirty rotten liar, or wasn't referring to the Steam version
