I always felt like they just wanted to make Korra like the anti-Aang and completely opposite of him.
Like even most of Korra's enemies could have been solved with diplomatically talking to them if Aang was the Avatar dealing with them, while Korra in his shoes would have been gungho about fistfighting Ozai and wouldn't hesitate to murk the fucker and need no deus ex lion-turtle spiritbending shit.

They wanted Korra to be Aang's antithesis. He was the reluctant hero, she was "I'm the Avatar, you gotta deal with it!"
Aang had a much more consistent character arc, growing into the role of the Avatar and shouldering the responsibility. It was a very grounded and human story, magical element powers aside.

The biggest problem for Korra was, the writers didn't want to let her stay grown. Korra would do something stupid and then get a chance to learn from it and settle herself down. But then just an episode or two later, she's back to acting like the dumbass hothead that got her in trouble before. And that was just season 1.
By season 2, they added all this poorly-written mythology and Korra fucks things up by breaking the barriers between spirits and letting them run wild on the human world.
The dialogue kept talking about the past being a time when humans and spirits lived in harmony yet we're shown a world where humans have to live in cities on top of the dragon turtles for protection from the spirits and get their bending to protect them from the hostile cunts.
And when Korra allows spirits into the human world, they're just as destructive as they were in the past with Juan. Yes, I know it's supposed to be Wan, but fuck it.

So why didn't any of the adults in the room try that?
The council didn't ask for Amon to air his grievances in public and no marches for equal rights were made during season 1.
Unalaq just took his modern navy wanting to espouse traditional spiritual leanings to return to spirituality while aiming cannons at the sister tribe.
Zaheer only sat and talked with others so as to distract them and hone in on their location so his group to take point.
Kuvira was the only one ready to talk but that was more for demands since when she did appear with the nation's leaders she just said she was gonna keep on going and Raiko just shrugged.

ATLA was fundamentally a quest to find the best and brightest around the world and get them to stop being stubborn isolationist assholes and work together. The Gaang's abilities came in handy all the time, and the fact they all had different approaches meant that when they met someone who wasn't receptive to Aang's pacifist idealism, Katara/Sokka could step in and try a different tack. By show's end Aang had a team full of different methods, attitudes, and abilities.

Korra on the other hand just had two useless dorks and an industrialist's daughter of suspect allegiance.

It sucks, because to me one of the legitimately interesting things brought up in season 2/3 of ATLA was the idea that the Fire Nation legitimately was culturally and technologically advanced in ways worth exporting. They had better technology, a large and relatively mobile middle class, greater social freedoms. But by using that to justify supremacy and conquest, the FN ended up inhibiting the spread and development of their ideas, and blinded themselves to what the other nations had to offer.

I would have loved to see Korra grapple with that kind of thing. The old feudal culture of the Earth kingdom gradually being overtaken by the modernized fusion culture of the former colonies, the reaction against that by those who are traumatized by the 100 years war and still see it as Fire Nation imperialism. The clashes between those who are eager to take advantage of the new ways vs the traditionalists who see it as a threat to their way of life, and between the new capitalist class vs the workers and technicians.

But instead we just got benders vs non, which doesn't really hold up as an analogy considering that it was already established in ATLA that bending isn't correlated with social status and that non-bending families can have bender kids. And then the rest of the show was spirit stuff, which was always the least interesting part of Avatar.

Honestly it's more that most of them wouldn't exist in the first place.
The equalists, sure, that's a problem Aang might have to debate and ultimately use force on.

But then you get to Unalaq and that's where the problems start; see, Aang lacks the familial connection to be exploited, and Aang is spiritual while Korra was not, and Aang could astral project into the spirit world and do all that stuff Korra couldn't. There is zero reason to believe Aang would get tricked by Unalaq, be unable to handle the spirit stuff on his own, or that he would open the spirit portals.

And without the spirit portals opening? Zaheer never gets airbending and he never escapes prison. Not to mention Zaheer's whole thing about being an air-weaboo would run into a brick wall of an *actual* living airbender with memories of their culture being able to say "No dumbass you're grossly misinterpreting our beliefs on freedom".

And without Zaheer killing the Earth Queen, the earth kingdom never gets destabilized, which means Kuvira never has to unite them.

Korra created 3 out of her 4 antagonists by trusting Unalaq and leaving the portals open.

Tbf I think that's an actual flaw of ATLA, that Aang's feelings about his long lost culture or the genocide is only really explored in like the second episode of the entire series. The rest of the time it's framed as him being a boomer who needs to get with the times (Northern Air Temple) or an obstacle that gets in the way of his Hollywood romance (Aang abandoning his spiritual journey to save Katara).

Why are you forcing your marxist dog shit into this? One of Korra’s main Allie’s is a girl who is the daughter of a ceo and then subsequently becomes a ceo and two are literal street orphans. There is no class war bullshit in Korra. The first season is about the imbalance between benders and non benders. Never is their economic status brought up and Amon gets support from Asami’s father.

The show in of itself avoids mature themes by writing cop outs for Korra. Like what if Amon was actually just some dude that was abused by benders and learned advanced chi blocking? What the fuck the fuck was she going to do? Then? Not to mention the who bender inequality angle is never really shown?

Yep. Korra probably would've been killed or captured in the initial fire nation attacks. She wouldn't have run away after learning she's the avatar and she would have run head first into the first group of comet powered fire nation soldiers not knowing, or refusing to listen about the steroid effect the comet had on fire benders.

I think that'd actually be great as a story. Provided Korra actually learns she was wrong in the end, its like the inverse of the spirits teaching the living person something.

A story where the new Avatar is trying to drop some knowledge on the Old Avatar, but neither knows what should be done, so they need to go on an adventure and find out. That'd be a really fun story.

My guess is that whatever caused the apocalypse is somehow connected to the past, before Korra's time, and part of the new avatar's journey is tonre-establish the avatar line so she can learn what that connection is. Korra is useless here because she lost the connection to her past lives before she could learn anything important.

Aang's legacy is what's felt but we see very little of Aang himsef outside of flashbacks. Aang's spirit was only in the show twice because Korra sucked at being spiritual and then Korra lost her connection almost immediately. Like imagine if Korra wasn't a spiritual autist just enough so she could talk to Aang and actually listen to his advice. 90% of Korra's problems would've been solved. Part of the avatar connection is to give the current avatar advice and guidance and context to how past events shaped the worlds current state. Severing the connection was another short sighted attempt by the TLOK writers to further isloate Korra and make her struggle at the expense of the show's lore because they geniunely believed it would make her a more compelling character.

They don't need to repeat that mistake again.

Then maybe one of the past avatars had dealt with this spirit and defeated it. Either way I think the apocalypse and who was behind or how it was carried out is gonna be either not gonna be fully shown or is widely misunderstood in the show itself untill a past avatar, Korra or another avatar assuming they re-establish the connection, she'd light on what really happened. They kind of have to of they wanna clear Korra's name. If it was something Korra or her friends understood and could explain i doubt she would have been blamed for causing the apocalypse

The assumption here is that Korra lived past the actual cataclysm into relative old age. 9 years seem a short time for the world to become the way it is.

She could connect to past lives one by one dealing with these spirits. Monster of the week style like the ATLA episode with the forest panda. Save Aang or Korra for a finale, meet Kuruk and Yangchen in places they used to live and get their help with the spirit problem, or bending lessons.

If this actually happens, I'd be happy. Still gonna pass on it though. I agree with >>149685694 and there's no way they spent any time planning things out the way they did with AtLA (it wasn't perfect but LoK was SHIT). Korra was a mess and this new story's gonna be more so because it has to build on top of LoK as its foundation. You can't salvage Korra's story much less forge a new story out of it.

Lots of people accusing Korra of breaking the avatar cycle and killing the previous incarnations, but they all seem to forget that Raava was forced out of Korra and whipped like a nigga in a cotton field. It’s not like it was her choice and not like the previous avatars would have necessarily fared better.

Even leaving the spirit gates open isn’t that bad. The world has survived well before they were sealed. One could even argue that it encourages human civilization to become more attuned with nature and balance itself instead of being consumed by industrialization.

1. For trusting family, and trying to fill in the avatar shoes after being sheltered most her life by restoring balance and spirituality, which she lacked experience due to aforementioned sheltered life

2. The world wasn’t a mess. It was balanced. What it was was unsuitable for human life, or rather civilization. Granted spirits were dicks who messed with humans, but before Wan no human was shown to ever display qualities of respecting nature and spirits… with the exception of the proto air nomads who spirits were pretty chill with.

The avatar losing their connection to past avatar lives but staying alive was something TLOK introduced. It was never considered a possibility in ATLA because it was something that was a result of the avatar's high spiritual nature and not something that could be physically ripped out of an avatar because that's a stupid fucking idea.

That's such an incredibly disingenuous read of people's problem with Korra. I love flawed characters but you need to keep them internally consistent and and have them actually grow as characters. Korra was just a shitty person that never really learned anything, constantly fucked up in entirely avoidable ways, and didn't really get any sort of punishment for it beyond moping about it briefly in the final season (which surprise, surprise, she learned jack shit from after she got over it). The writing in general for the show was borderline schizophrenic. It was mostly serial compared to TLA's episodic story but managed to say even less. It's not even just Korra, none of the side characters had any real depth to them either.

No it isn't. People are constantly dragging the show and korra on twitter and the fact that almost all post show content is from the ATLA era and its characters with tlko barely getting acknowledged. There have been 27 ATLA comics released since the show ended. TLOK has had 7. It's not just fans that don't like Korra, nick itself sees ATLA and Aang as the face of fhe franchise and the real money maker and Korra is only ever included as an accessory to ATLA amd never it's own thing.

"much character flaws" is not an excuse for shitty writing. Aang had characters flaws, Sokka had character flaws, the difference was they actually saw consequences for their actions and actually grew as characters. Honestly my single biggest criticism of TLA was that the ending was such a copout and basically gave Aang everything he wanted without any personal sacrifice. It really was an omen of things to come, Korra is pretty much all written as badly as TLA's ending if not worse.
