The Mysterious Mr. Enter

I think the most surprising one on that list is Elf Bowling.

Mr. Enter takes apart Korra Season 1, although he admits it gets better, he finds the notions that it's a great show baffling.

Dude, you can't just drop a link and not describe it or put any info about it, that's against forum policy.

The title is right there, it's his review of Legend of Korra Book 1

Some people can't or won't click on the link. Don't just depend on the title to let people know what's in the video. Post summaries of the points they bring up so that people who don't or can't click on the link can still be informed.

I thought the video title card would work as a description. That's on me.

Ya beat me to it but yes, that's the rule. Now, what does Enter say about the series?

.... it's a rule that you have to provide context when you drop a video link!? When was this made!?

Well I added a proper description.

Enter admits that he hates Season 1 while stressing:

1. He is not joking. He admits that unlike some shows he's reviewed that people are fond of (Totally Spies is the example he uses) this is a rare occurrence where people consider the show a classic, a notion that baffles him.

2. He cops to the show getting better in latter seasons he doesn't cover in the video. "Beginnings" is specifically mentioned.

3. He hates the romance as much as everyone else did.

Doesn't matter, point is it's a rule that needs to be followed.

Huh. Sounds a bit reasonable I suppose. I still need to get to watching the show but most of my knowledge of it boils down to it not getting good until Season 3.

Let see, this video contains:

1) Enter starting the video making some nebulous claim about how he doesn't understand the fans of this show. Oh, not the actual fan, but some nebulous idea of "fans" than he has created in his own head based on... who exactly? "Everyone is overreacting to this show, except me, the normal person who makes an entire video complaining about how I'm totally not overreacting to it!"

2) Enter complaining about the romance, the pacing, the villain's motivations, and everything else that has already been criticized about Season one since the time it first aired, bringing nothing new to the table. Making the entire video seem pretty pointless, unless you like hearing Mr. Enter talk. I know he does.

3) Enter constantly repeating his 3-4 points over and over for twenty minutes. That never gets old...

Are you seriously expecting a reviewer to shut up in their own review which consists, by the nature of its format, almost entirely of them talking?

And to call them a narcissist over it?

I actually like season 1 a lot, as long as the romance isn't involved.

When a person says the same thing over-and-over again, a dozen times or more, I tend to believe that either they have no point and are just padding the run time of their video, or, they like to hear themselves talk. Since i'd like to think Enter isn't an idiot who can't come up with an original idea to save his life, i'll just say he likes to hear himself talk.

To be fair I always got the impression that reception to season 1 was mixed at best. Even when it came out I remember a lot of people didn't like it.

Or maybe some people just aren't very good at editing themselves.

That is true. It's only Seasons 3 and 4 that really got people calling it a classic.

You're correct. Then again, guy's made nearly 200 videos at this point, so you'd think he'd have learned to edit himself down by now.

So I stand by what i said: he likes to talk, and likes to hear himself talk.

That's largely why I've stuck to watching Enter's Admirable Animations videos. He goes on and on about the same three or four points in his Atrocity videos and it's annoying.

Narcissm being excusable because it's in an analyst's review video doesn't hold water when he himself made the decision to make the video! You cannot justify laws for your behavior if you made the laws up!

Okay, then how would you have done it?

I would've tried to write it from a new point of view with opinions that I haven't seen done in past Korra reviews. And also, I wouldn't repeat the same point more than once.

Saying that the reviews adds noting new is not really fair.Yes the overall complaints are the same.But his explanations on why he takes issue with them are unique enough to warrant a listen IMO.

I've never really heard anyone talk about the setting and why it doesn't work in such detail for example. Or his idea of water being Korea's opposite rather than air.There new ideas here.

"Korea is more to water than to air"

Maybe nobody has made that comparison before, because it is a dumb comparison, and shows that he has no idea what he is talking about. A simple google search into the creators work would tell you where their influences came from, the many different asian cultures they lifted from, and which elements go where.

Opposite.And the sources I've seen agree with his interpretation that water is the element of change something that he thinks that Korra has the most trouble with.

Regardless of whether you agree or disagree it is something not commonly discussed.

3/4 of Korea is surrounded by water.
