Clearly you don't know sarcasm when you see it.
Yeah. That's exactly what I'm talking about when I say you're being rude. Ordinarily I wouldn't stoop this low, but since you feel the need to stoop so low I think it's fair game for me to say that there's a reason you currently have 3 bars on your forum health meter
Note: I didn't check your profile just to dig that up out of spite. I clicked on your profile by mistake when I meant to click on something else and noticed it.
Whenever I see you in a thread you tend to be angrily arguing or just upset in general and I don't mean just towards me, which just makes it all the more ironic that you don't like Korra because she "runs on anger". I've only seen you neutral or content maybe a few times. I don't say any of this to make you feel bad, but because I actually like some of the things I've seen you say on threads here and there and would love to get into a civil discussion, something this forum is intended for, even if that means respectful disagreement. I figure constructive criticism might help, but feel free to take it badly.
And, for your information, I do know when I see sarcasm and I didn't sense a hint of it in your post or if you were referring to NinjaDeathSlap, his neither. If you were being sincerely sarcastic then I will take back what I said.

Fine go ahead. You can think I'm rude all you want, and so can they if they wish, I still don't think their writing quality is very good at all.
That's not why I think you're rude. You are entitled to your opinion on the writing quality. I said you were rude because you were letting your opinion on the writing quality inform your opinion on the writers' morals as if those have anything to do with each other in this context. The creators have already confirmed that Korrasami is just fan wish fulfillment and nothing more, so they're not indulging in it. You claim you were being sarcastic, but like I said I didn't catch it.

I also don't care either way because whether or not Korra and Asami hook up is so far down the list of things this show does wrong that it's not even really on my radar. Even if they did go down that route, which I doubt they will, they would mess it up, like all the other relationships they've tried to force into the storyline, because reasons.
How can that be something this show does wrong when the creators keep telling fans it's not even a thing? Or, do you think it's a fake out and it actually is a thing? I do agree this show can't handle relationships if it's life depended on it, not that a life on Nick's website is much of a life to begin with.

I mean when she stopped to fight Kuvirra, what did she say about how she would be fine to fight her? "Don't worry, I've got months worth of pent up RAGE to use." Yeah, that's not the mindset of a balanced, sensible being.
How did you feel when Aang did that? Aang killed a buzzard wasp (most likely, never confirmed) in rage when it kidnapped Momo because he just lost Appa even though he got Momo back and thus didn't need to worry about the wasp anymore. What about when Aang hurt all those Earth Kingdom soldiers when their general threatened Katara's life just so he could force Aang into the Avatar State? I'm not saying you are wrong to dislike Korra for that, but what separates her rage moments from Aang's? Is it her overall personality comprising rage while Aang only had individual rage moments? Is it her reasoning? Is it how often she is angry? I'm genuinely curious.
As for her statement to Kuvira, I disagree. That is actually very healthy. Korra has been learning to control herself and be more wise and collected from my point of view and that's just not an easy thing for her because she is an assertive person at heart. After three years of being able to do literally almost nothing (she couldn't even dress herself) and having to deal with crises caused by inept governments I'd have some pent up rage too. Remember that Korra originally wanted to solve the Kuvira problem with diplomacy claiming that Kuvira earned that much for saving her dad and being so similar to how Korra used to be. Seeing as how that plan failed, I think letting pent up rage out is better than letting it bottle up and explode.
Korra is definitely a more unstable person than someone with a clean bill of mental health, but that still makes her more stable than half the people I know. Does that excuse it? No, but it is understandable. AGAIN THAT IS JUST MY OPINION. FEEL FREE TO DISAGREE.

I don't expect anything all that exciting from Korra herself, and am banking on the rest of the cast keeping the show mildly entertaining to watch.
I suggest you stop watching then. The creators have stated that this Book is intended to show a more calm, collected Korra confronting a former version of her past self. In other words, Kuvira is actually the ragey, mopey person. The fact you think Korra is the same as she has always been means Book 4 has failed you in this regard. It is one of the fundamental pillars of this season: The fact it's so painful for you to endure only means it's going to get worse as the creators are promising more of this as we reach the finale. And, that means more ragey, mopey Korra because, like I said, Book 4 has failed you in its intentions.
If the rest of the cast is really enough for you then continue, but if the entertainment value of them is borderline then you're most likely going to start going in the negative soon. Just some friendly advice. Honest. No sarcasm intended.
