Dropped it after first half of season 2. Worth going back? Found Korra to be whiny at the time
Go back and watch it. If nothing else for the AMAZING season 3.
Season 3 is pretty good. It never reaches the high points of season 1 but never goes any lower and it stays consistently good. I found Season 4 to be underwhelming and the ending "twist" felt unearned despite everyone celebrating it.
Yeah, I found S2 to be the weakest of the four, in no small part due to Korra herself. But hey, at least it gave us the beautiful "Beginnings" two-parter, which is pretty much essential. And S3 is fucking great.
Hope season three treats you better than it did me. From the highest of highs to...something middling that isn't outright offensive save for a few minutes at the end.
Damn though, marathoning through season two in one night back in high school was certainly a wonderful experience.

The Earth Kingdom fell right as the sun was coming up. Very nice touch Universe.
It has one of the best recap episodes ever, though. lol
But I agree, S3 is pretty weak overall.

Like many have said it only gets better.
I saw it for the first time early last year. Easily the best animated show I've ever seen. It's a masterpiece. I wished I hadn't dismissed it for years as being childish nonsense.
The episode before the finale is definitely the most creative "clip show" episode of a show I have ever seen.

Hurry up and get on it.
Was not expecting the show to induce any feels but then The Tales of Ba Sing Se happened.
I can't hold back the tears every time I see that part. I literally can't.
Also guys I don't want to be that person but ya'll should try and hold off on posting too much. The OP hasn't even gotten to a lot of the parts you guys are posting. :x
Season 2 had better atmosphere and mood but I dunno Season 3 is my favorite season just for all the character moments.
I mean you have (Season 3 spoilers)
These are almost all my favorite episodes of the series.

The Dancing moment with Katara and Aang, an episode that also humanized the Fire Nation.
Sokka getting a Sword and a Master.
Seeing the relationship between Sozin and Roku
The Bloodbending episode.
The Invasion during the Day of Black Sun AND it's failure.
Ember Island Players
And obviously the Agni Kai between Zuko and Azula.

Legit contender for GOAT animated series.
Sequel is mostly trash but enjoyable if you set your expectations to low.

I binged the entire series in a day.
That's right, you read correctly. A day. Fuckin' emotional rollercoaster of a day it was too. Great show.
Iroh is the best.

Season 2 is up there with the best animated arcs ever. Is quite perfect tbh, great characters and development, amazing fights and choreography, atmosphere, ost. It's incredible.

It's the GOAT cartoon in my opinion, at least in terms of action cartoons. Not that I wouldn't put it up there with anything, it's just weird comparing it to something like classic Simpsons or OG SpongeBob.

I may have gone too far in a few places.
It's not something I'd do again. Finished before I could really appreciate it.

If all the seasons of the legend of Korra were as good as season three, it would be a damn fine show.

Weird, I just finished the show a little while ago. It's great.
I think it would be better if it was given to cartoon network or adult swim. Some themes could be cooler and more violent. It'd be awesome.

I always thought it looked lame as a kid. My current girlfriend asked me if I had ever seen it and said, "nope". Well long story short she remedied that real quick, and I am so glad she did. What an amazing story. I honestly can't believe it is a kids show with the writing. And the way they wrapped it all up was incredibly powerful. Fuck, I need to watch it again thinking about all the great moments in that show.

I always thought the same thing...
But Im still happy with what we got. Such an amazing show.
I think Adult Swim wouldve over done it on sexual themes and violence though
