Didn't watch it yet, as I'm only 2 episodes in and Idon't want to taint my first view too much.

But from what I've seen of the show, I understand how they reach this conclusion. And Jessie Gender usually has quite a good grasp on these things.

Edit: Kind reminder that this post is for sharing/discussing the video, not for dunking on the Netflix adaptation.

Edit2: Watched it now. Spoilers for the first 2 episodes and light spoilers for the rest of the live action show, season 1.

Ah yeah I’d love to see more avatars, in different time periods.

I know we all dislike Legend of Korra, and most people dislike this specific episode, but I love the avatar Wan storyline. It wasn’t perfect, but I loved the idea of “ancient history” for the world of Avatar.

For the Gaang… I see the end of the show as the beginning of reconstruction. And I’d love to see what Sokka and Zuko in particular were up-to during that. They seem to have been incredibly important, and with good reason right? That’s a story I’m interested in.

Rebuilding a connected world after the Fire Nation empire fell.

I sometimes wonder if I should rewatch Korra now that I'm older a see if maybe I judged it too harshly. I rewatched last air bender and it was just better. I actually thought Wan got shafted. There was alot of potential there for content. Like it's the spirit realm, it's almost limitless potential.

I can see where you are going but I would imagine it would feel very different than the orignal show.

Late reply, but you should.

I like Korra better. I think most people dislike it just because they immediately watch it after ATLA, which is unfortunate.

Another aspect that's underappreciated is the sheer number of parallels/connections between the shows. After poking through this for awhile (then recognizing it in a rewatch), the two shows feels more like a cohesive whole... 2 cycles of the Avatar. The sheer number of callbacks that must be intentional are mind-boggling.

You should read the comics.
