At Least the Online Release will Prevent Piracy

[attackfish]

So in less than twenty four hours, new Legend of Korra episodes will be on the actual TV for what may be the last time in forever.  Unlike a fair bit of this fandom, I don't think even a massive raise in ratings for these last two episodes will change Nickelodeon's mind about moving to an all digital release.  I think that the Nick execs made up their mind that Korra couldn't succeed, and so provided it with none of the tools necessary to make it succeed, and I also think that at this point, they would be able to talk themselves out of recognizing even massive success.  So I am not going to plead with my followers to watch, but I for one would kind of like this franchise's TV run to end with a bang rather than a whimper.

Also, I'm jealous, because I'm stuck at home finishing up the summer semester, instead of at Comic Con with all the cool kids.

Sadly, Comic Con is a sensory nightmare. I am pretty okay at big events if I self-care, but I shivered on the plane ride home, locked myself in the attic when I got home and was sick for three days. It's a nightmare and a pound of trauma. Neurotypical friends have said to me that they felt overwhelmed. Major noise, lights, crowds, it's very badly designed.

And yes, I still resent not going.

And Korra wasn't so great the last two seasons, but Nick basically treated it like a burden. Yes, it wasn't fitting into their grand scheme, yes, it wasn't random humor and it was hard to place, but they could have done better. They hated this show. They hated this show so much and now, they pretty much killed it.

I doubt there will be a third Avatar. The Network wants it done.
