I caught up with Wilfred (US) and The Legend of Korra recently
I reeeeeeeally like the latest season of LoK. I'm not sure whether I like it more than ATLA or not, because on one hand the story telling has been all over the place in LoK and that can get kind of overwhelming at times trying to figure out everything that's going on, and obviously it doesn't handle pacing or character development nearly as well. On the other hand, there's so much going on and so much world building in such a short time I just want more. I love how the spirit world is no longer disconnected from everything else. That's one of those things that make me sit here like "IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES" while vigorously scribbling down shitty fanart of shit that would likely never occur in the show itself. The character development being all over the place makes certain characters that should just be side characters you don't think much about the most interesting characters in the show, while the main cast are kind of bland and not really worth noting.
Also, I think it's very interesting the dark turns this show has made. They've killed what, four characters now on camera in pretty "grim" ways? And most recently they had an air bender take a life by suffocating them. I know it gives the scenarios a heavier impact, but I wonder why they decided to do that.
As for Wilfred, series finale tonight. Not sure where this is going to end up, and not sure how I've felt about this last season. Sometimes it feels like they bench a little too much on the psychological aspect of everything and it just doesn't work.
