I think future Avatar content is going to go the way of Star Wars, it'll be dictated by all the terrible supplementary material to the original series and completely kill the original spark of what made it so great.
Yeah that's what I mean, Korra and the comics have ruined any chance for a good IP like the prequels and comics did to Star Wars.
This new live action show will probably be like the Star Wars sequel trilogy; i.e. a half-hearted attempt to recapture the original series but without any creativity or spark to it.
Korra and comics already shitted on original Gaang by making them terrible parents, pathetic cucks or just completely irrelevant dummies so idk what could be worse.
We even got that cringy "LET THE PAST DIE!" analogue in S2 of LOK
>so idk what could be worse
That's why I think it's so accurate to compare Avatar to Star Wars
Nothing can be worse than the prequels, but still they introduced so many terrible and half-brained concepts to the IP (very basic and lame light/dark dichotomy to the force, terribly choreographed lightsaber fights, Jedis are now some weird advisory body to an intergalactic senate with a modern day bureaucracy) that went on to influence the rest of the series. Admittedly I haven't seen the Star Wars sequel movies but I think their issues come in trying to reconcile stuff from the prequels and original trilogy, any future Avatar series is going to struggle to incorporate stuff like Avatar Wan and the Raava/ Vatu stuff. And it's almost impossible to have an Avatar after Korra for so many reasons, which is why they'd rather do stuff like rehash Kyoshi and Zuko than do something bold like a new Avatar.

The sequel's issues are the first is an overcorrection with no real soul, the meme "glib facsimle" is pretty spot on the whole movie is a relatively close recreation of a new hope with modern sensibilities. Everything new or interesting about it is because it's a neat idea but they never follow up on it because they never really put thought into it as a cool idea.
The Last Jedi is going into the movie to deconstruct the Star Wars mythos but both without the desire to do it in a way that's organic to what's already established, satisfying from a storytelling perspective, or even genuine in its intentions since despite challenging certain cliches in the earlier acts will unironically settle right back into them in the final acts.
Then the last one is another overcorrection to every criticism of the last two movies and jamming nearly three movies worth of content into one.
The sequels don't do shit with the prequel stuff, the ones interested in reconciling the prequels with the sequels are the cartoons.

Yeah my point is it seems maybe the Star Wars sequels seriously lacked creativity and direction because the mythos and worldbuilding presented by the sequels fricked everything up. Sure they may not have directly referenced stuff from the prequels but they still inherited stuff like the dogshit lightsaber fights and wanking off over Jedis and the Skywalkers - even though I haven't seen the movies I know that much.
Korra killed a lot of that too, it severely undervalued the spiritual element of bending and its wisdom, and every story was about benders. just as successive Star Wars stories have made everything about Jedis and the force (think about all the non-bender fighting styles in The Last Airbender like Sokka, The Blue Spirit, Jet, then see if you can think of ANY in The Legend of Korra). I imagine new Avatar movies and series will do the same shit, where bending is just a fighting style and the shows will lack a diverse range of characters and experience.

in the original they had flaws that were either endearing or something they had to overcome over the course of the show.
Saying that "Hey, you know those people you liked before? Well, they turned out to be shitty adults and now that the show is over they can't even be redeemed anymore other than through more retcons" is NOT a good character flaw.

Yeah I don't want to listen to Aang or Toph's kids, who I'm never encouraged to give a shit about or feel any empathy for, whine about how they were such terrible parents when they aren't even around to defend themselves.
Something like The Blind Bandit in TLA where Toph acts like a moron but is able to reconcile it with Katara is a good way to give character flaws, not something like Toph not telling her kids who their parents are and then having them seethe about it for like fifty years without doing anything about it.

They had flaws in the original series you fricking abhuman.
Flaws that were shown, flaws that were complex, flaws that were built into their characters at a fundamental level. >They were also bad parents, all of them, because we say so
Isn't 'making them flawed', it's basic b***h telling rather than showing. It's 'Dumbledores intense sexual relationship' levels of storytelling.

Shut the frick up Bryke, Zuko already was one of the most flawed characters in ATLA, there's no point to turning him into wimpy cuck
It's mostly because the trio (or quartet) never got back together to make another show, the three managed to balance each other out to create something good, one of them not in there throws this balance off.
The original show was lightning in a bottle that they have never been able to capture again for any material after the og series. It'll always be shit because Nick is shit went the creators had a single good story in them, which is more than most.
I'm waiting for my Yangchen kino and I'm hoping it lets us take a closer look at the Buddhist inspired Air Nomad society. Like how do parentage work? Are the Air Nomads forced to give up their babies to the temples, who breastfeeds the babies then? Do the nomads have a yearly meeting for procreation? How many of the air benders are of mixed race? Do Air Avatars like Yangchen have special privileges to raise their kids and not have to give them up to the temple?
I remember there's a scene very early in Avatar (maybe the first episode) where Zuko says to Aang >I suppose you wouldn't know anything about parents, being raised by monks
Which I always thought was dumb, an entire nation being brought up as monks without parents.
Since you mentioned Star Wars. It's funny how similar the sequel trilogy is to Korra in hindsight.
The obvious disdain of the writers for the past work. The lack of understanding what made the original good. The complete incompetence. The terrible Mary Sue main character. The disregard for the mythos of the original. The narcissistic inability to deal with the criticism.
The mere fact that these movies exist and ESPECIALLY the fact that one of them is about Korra is in itself a gigantic middle finger to the unintelligent gutter trash scum who have been debasing and talking shit about The Last Airbender franchise for the past decade; and oh boy am I all for it!
(Most excited for the Kyoshi movie tbqh famalamadingdong
Hasn't stopped homosexuals before. Kyoshi had a daughter but that didn't stop the homosexuals from giving her a dyke romance. It'll just be excused with bisexuality.
>a korra movie
I can see people actually care about watching a Zuko movie or even a Kyoshi movie, but who in the name of frick still cares about Korra?
You'd be surprised how many artists are idiots who don't plan things at all. See it a lot in video game concept art these days for example, people are so obsessed with filling every inch of a character with tiny 4KHD details and greebles and israeliteelry and never once do they actually consider what any of it MEANS to the character or how it fits their established backstory and personality.

Just give me that Azula horror movie directed by Sam Raimi and we're good.
>She chase characters and she will use her power just to do that, then sometimes will kill some useless goons and just maim a coprotagonist
hope better than scarlet witch, even probably is not his fault
Zuko: Azula, Toph can destroy you with one lift from her finger
Azula: What finger?
You mean Toph's cute toes

I have absolutely zero faith in Bryke. The only chance these have is them pulling their heads out of their asses and getting an actual writer.

It's like one of those hippie communes; the kids are raised by everyone but you know who your parents are.

All modern bad sequels are like that, just look at Boruto or The Last of Us 2

What are the chances Sokka is Suyin's father and Toph's second husband? I thnk that may be the reason they're keeping it a secret.
>Sokka got used goods Toph after ditching Suki then got dumped by Toph and died at like age 50
Worst timeline, get out.
did they ever try to fix the avatar connection in the comics?
imo canon comics are always second to actual animated canon in all mediums no matter what the creators say

Cant wait
I can't even shitpost about this, it's just too sad.

they might actually crash what ever is left of this franchise like the last season did to GoT
They're not gonna turn Zuko into a homosexual right? Korra and Kyoshi are already ones but women are more acceptable to be gays.
Of course not, he had a girlfriend in TLA you moron
Hasn't stopped homosexuals before. Kyoshi had a daughter but that didn't stop the homosexuals from giving her a dyke romance. It'll just be excused with bisexuality.

No such thing in art

Neither was Avatar at any point
Kyoshi is such a shitty Avatar, she honesty gives korra a run for her money.
If Korra's movie is 2 hours of Korra and Asami having sex then it will be kino.
And sucking on a dick at the same time
"The way you stole my boyfriend made me so wet!" - Asami, probably.
Pure yurikino, I'd watch it at least ten times.
vomit
Sex is always the worst part of yuri though because lesbian sex is boring
prequel prequel and i guess prequel.
what a waste of time.
>no sokka movie
WHATS THE FRICKING POINT
Sokka has a prominent role in Zuko's film, he steals Azula from him.
Cumswapping is the best part of lesbian sex
The original show was lightning in a bottle that they have never been able to capture again for any material after the og series. It'll always be shit because Nick is shit went the creators had a single good story in them, which is more than most.

>Kyoshi movie is just gonna be 80 minutes of her munching carpet
>Zuko movie is gonna confirm he got a little bi-curious in his life
>Korra movie is gonna be a romantic "comedy"
Avatar truly was a mistake.
what happened to korra's breasts? Big breasts were her one redeeming element.
Drawing big breasts is considered misogynistic now.
I hope the first project bombs hard with fans and critics, forcing Avatar Studios to shut down
When will LoK be retconed?
Zuko might be, because you know they had plans for the Zuko's mom movie the entire time. Kyoshi and Korra will probably just be pandering movies.
