I think Korra is meant to be the "anti-Aang". Where Aang needed to learn to be assertive and when to stand his ground to unlock his full potential, Korra has assertiveness in spades and hasn't had to deal with much adversity that she can't just bludgeon her way through. (Hence her Air Bending is very much a brute force approach.) She needs to learn empathy and humility to fulfill her calling.

Hopefully we'll get some of that this season.

Adventure Time Primer.

Seriously, if you’re not watching Adventure Time, it’s a way better show than you think it is.

That's a great primer. My only beef is with this:

With greater emphasis on romantic plots, season three actively tries to appeal to a female audience, a strategy that is heavily bolstered by the introduction of Fionna (Madeleine Martin) and Cake (Roz Ryan), the gender-swapped versions of the show’s central pair.

Really? It's Ice King fanfic! I thought it succeeded at being hilariously awful storytelling, but that's about it.

Quisp: Anyone watching "Wander Over Yonder", Craig McCracken's new series on Disney? It's no Powerpuff Girls, but after a handful of episodes, I think it has potential.

I keep meaning to, I haven't yet.

Adventure Time Primer.

I prefer "Another Ten episodes to the ones they picked. I would never start anybody off with "A Glitch Is A Glitch."

And I think "Into the Nightosphere" and "What Was Missing" are key episodes. Plus the whole storyline with the Lich is powerful and had a huge cliffhanger.

When I go look through DeviantArt and I find realistic depictions of the characters I'm always struck by how incredibly horrific Finn's circumstances really are, and tragic.

Yeah, the show is actually quite dark, and getting darker. They've been dropping less and less subtle hints about how Princess Bubblegum might be evil for a while now. I wonder if her getting her amulet back might be the catalyst for something.

On the other hand, one of my favorite episodes, Shhh!, isn't dark at all. BMO! Bikini Babes! Cool music!

I watched the most recent Korra. Why is she so stupid?

Seriously, if you’re not watching Adventure Time, it’s a way better show than you think it is.

I saw Adventure Time slippers in a store yesterday, and waved them at Tim and said "This is a show we should be watching."

Tim: "A show...about slippers?"

Me: "Yes. A show about slippers. And the feet that get shoved in them."

This season of Korra is not what I hoped for from being titled Spirits.

I've heard so many good things about Adventure Time but I just don't like the art. I don't think I can get past that.
