[Spoilers] This show is great. It gets a lot of hate because its not the sequel everyone wanted from the Last Airbender. Everyone wanted a continuation of Aangs story but instead, we get the new avatar 70 years later with some of the old ATLA characters still alive (which include Katara, Toph, and Zuko, with spirit appearances from Iroh and Aang, and a flashback with Sokka). This show by itself was incredible, the animation style was vastly improved from the Last Airbender and the storytelling is just as good. This show does emphasize much more adult topics than ATLA since Korra is 17 for the first 3 seasons and 20 by season 4. This show emphasizes relationship hardships and extremely stressful situations that are tuned more for grown-up audiences (Korra literally struggles with PTSD and being crippled in a wheelchair for half of season 4). Watching ATLA as a kid and now watching this 13 years later, I can see they were targeting people like me who loved ATLA as a kid and now are more grown up and ready for what Korra has to tackle with all the psychological issues and hardships in life. Yes, this is not what everyone was expecting but this is not a 1-star show because it doesn't continue the main storyline. In many ways, I liked this show better than the original series, you get much more emotionally involved with the main characters' feelings in LOK which contributes to the more adult-focus of the show. The battle scenes in this show are far better than the fights in ATLA, they are so much more engaging and if you want some bending battles than this is the perfect show to watch. Overall, I loved this show and it was nice to get some clarification about what happened after ATLA while getting an incredibly told story with engaging characters. ( I almost want a sequel of Korra more than a sequel of the original series)

[Spoilers] It is a let down from the first game there is no getting around that. Killing off Joel in the first couple of hours of the game was probably the worst decision Naughtydog could have made for this storyline in my opinion besides killing Ellie. I don't know why they couldn't have killed Tommy instead and then gone on with Ellie and Joel getting revenge even though that would completely change Abby's reason for going after them. Anyway, that sole reason alone pretty much ruined the game for everyone who was even slightly knowledgable of the story of the first game. Another thing that upset me was the twisted truth that they showed in all the trailers. I remember back in 2015 when they showed some of the first trailers I was super excited for another adventure with Ellie with Joel. In the trailers, they showed Ellie and Joel talking in scenes that never even showed up in the game. It seemed like Naughtydog decided to completely switch the story and then rushed to create a new storyline. Overall, the story is completely screwed up because of Joel's death and I don't think anything or any new character could possibly change anyone's opinion on that. This game has been getting a lot of hate so I don't want to keep it all negative so here are some things that I liked: - The game graphics are beautiful definitely one of the best looking games I've seen come out on a console in a while - The fighting mechanics and combat are excellent - The story is well told and actually pretty good if you forget about the story from the first game Final words, they could have done so much more with this game. Literally ANY adventure with Joel and Ellie still alive would have had far better reviews and fan enjoyment than this game.

Easily one of the best animated shows of all time and definitely the best Nickelodeon has ever made. This show has an incredible balance of character development, comedy, romance, and storytelling. The timeline of the show is clear and doesn't have any confusing or misleading side stories, everything seems connected perfectly. Almost every character is lovable and rememberable. This show deserves more than 5 stars because this show will go into the history books.
