Korra as an action girl? Pffft, Korra doesn't do things. Things happen to Korra! Seriously, sit back and watch it again and you'll be able to see it.
Now if you really want an action girl, Lin Beifong's where it's at. She's on my ridiculously tiny list of female characters I want to be like when I grow all the way up. If Season 2 takes all that away and just makes her some other chick in a love triangle who cares more about the love triangle than her work, I'm going to punch a baby. Not really. I'd just be immensely disappointed and have to cross her off the list.
I may have mentioned this here, but the Korra/Bolin/Mako/Asami love polygon blew chunks. It was too much romance to shove into a 13-episode ACTION show. They clearly wanted Korra and Mako together from the start, so they should have just put them together from the start and made all the conflict happen in the BIG GIGANTIC WAR ON BENDING that was barreling through Republic City. Maybe even spare Mako some of his dignity, because right now he just looks like a douchebag who cheated on Asami, who did nothing to deserve that. And had some more focus on Tenzin and Korra's relationship. That was an incredibly understated re-incarnated father/son/master/pupil dynamic that would have been awesomely fresh compared to just another romantic teen subplot. I actually like Asami better than Korra. Despite how badly Mike and Bryan want to play Korra up as a badass, Korra is the least badass and least proactive female character on that show (aside from Pema, but we don't talk about Pema.
)
And yes, I remember JetX. But I also remember a lot of really trivial things. Like the words to a song I didn't sing in the first grade musical. True story. Me remembering something is usually a given.
