Legend of Korra Recap: The Coronation

Book Four: Balance / Chapter: III Arrrggghhh, Black Jesus man, I didn’t even have time to get comfortable. A brotha had JUST kicked off his Uggs and was ready to take the water tribe armband off after a hard day of Avatar-ing when I pressed play on some Korra and already I gotta deal with Prince Wu going on about Earth Dames and six hour ceremonies. I assume we’re gonna get some sensitive “this is why I ended up being a sheltered prick” moment from Wu at some point, but right now he is doing THEE MOST. But you know, what, almost all was forgiven on this shit right here:

I mean, I should have something clever to say, that’s like, the whole point of these recaps, me trying to be clever. But like, I…I got nothin fam. Meanwhile the President is very confident that: [check_list]

a) The prince will be fine as King because he’s going to have a bunch of advisors b) That Kuvira is willing to step down as the interim leader of the Earth Kingdom after spending three years personally overseeing its reunion Which leads me to ask a very important question… c) Has the fuckin President ever been right about any gotdamn thing?

[/check_list] It’s been three years yo, tell me this dude is up for re-election in the Fall or some shit. It was bad enough when he was just antagonizing Korra and throwing her under the spirit vines, now he just out here making the worst judgement calls possible? This feels like every presidency AFTER David Palmer on 24. Shit is disgraceful, fam. Ye…
