- LoK team: Let's make a one-season cartoon based after AtLA!
- Audience: Yes! Oh, god, YES!
- LoK team: And let's try to make it the same scope as AtLA!
- Audience: YEA-- Wait, didn't AtLA have multiple seasons?
- LoK team: Yes, it did. So?
- Audience: How can you hope to introduce anywhere near the same number of elements and sub-plots as the precedent if you only have one season to complete it?
- LoK team: W-well...
- Audience: And you're adding in a love triangle?
- LoK team: A love QUADrangle!
- Audience: You're adding in a love quadrangle and neglecting substantial character development for the majority of the characters involved?
- LoK team: You guys like that kind of stuff! You call it 'shipping.' We saw so on our fan boards.
- Audience: Well, yes, but the reason we ship people is because we get to know their characters and understand how well (or poorly) they would work together in a relationship with one another.
- LoK team: ......yeah, but the hero is a female!
- Audience: That-- what? That's not what we were saying.
- LoK team: And you get to see the children of all of the characters from AtLA!
- Audience: That's great! Do we get further insight to their personalities! Do we get to learn who ends up with whom?
- LoK team: S-sort of. A bit. Uh, sometimes. There's a bad guy!
- Audience: We saw. Why do people support him? How did he start out and get his first supporters? Why does he hate the things that he hates? How long has he been working secretly to get followers?
- LoK team: HEY! Did we mention the love quadrangle?
- Audience: Yeah, you did. So tell us more about the characters! How do they know each other? What makes them tick? Why are they friends? How did their parents raise them?
- LoK team: We didn't really have time to answer all those questions, but we definitely made a love quadrangle!
- Audience: Ah.. but... okay. Tell us more about the love quadrangle. Why are the characters attracted to one another?
- LoK team: They like each other.
- Audience: Yes, but why?
- LoK team: Because that's what we wrote in the script.
- Audience: Yes, but WHY?
- LoK team: OH HEY WE ACTUALLY ARE GETTING MULTIPLE SEASONS
- Audience: SWEET! So you can really step back and take the time to flesh out all of these details you've been neglecting and create a very whole and real world and very whole and real characters?
- LoK team: Naw. We're gonna create a NEW bad guy.
- Audience: ....but--
- LoK team: NEW. BAD. GUY. WE ARE GENIUSES!
