there obv IS a prevalent and aggravating trend of stories having an antagonist who correctly identifies a flaw in society and aims to fix it but also commits atrocities along the way that the narrative claims to undermine the entire goal and then when the hero defeats them it is in the name of the status quo - but people sometimes point to legend of korra as an example of this which is so annoying bc like man how can you not understand a show written for children. every single season ends with korra defeating the villains and then saying "they had some points tho!" and then changing the status quo to address the flaw the villain identified
#rambles#legend of korra#lok#she says amon WAS right nonbenders ARE underrepresented and then gave them more political power#she said unalaq WAS right we ARE severely disconnected from the spirit world and then kept the portal open#and then books three and four kind of combine with her saying#maybe assassinating the earth queen with no follow up plan wasn’t great bc now the entire earth kingdom has plunged into chaos#and kuvira’s brutal dictatorial style leaves something to be desired!#BUT the monarchy did need to go and now the earth kingdom must shift into a democracy#and like these aren’t things you need to analyze the plot to discover#korra says straight up ‘amon was right’#‘unalaq was right’#it’s just funny 2 me
