[Discussion] Legend of Korra vs The Last Air Bender

[Erzo]

I went back to watching The Last Air Bender after finishing/catching up with Legend of Korra and it made me realize how moany and full of complaints Korra was throughout the whole freaking series. I've said this a couple times but thought I'd make a thread and see if someone disagrees.

Aang literally woke up to find that the world was in massive trouble with the war, all his people had died, there was nothing left of his home... This guy didn't even have anyone to teach him or guide him throughout.

Korra had both her parents, and Tenzin constantly helping her figure shit out and guiding her yet she still complained every other episode. In short, I'm just disappointed at how shitty they made Korra to be when compared to her predecessor.

I personally enjoyed The legend of Korra more than The last airbender.

I think my title is misleading. Don't get me wrong, the series as a whole isn't something I disliked. Their were some great characters, but Korra, the Avatar herself is the one character that pissed me off. z__z

I should have made the title Aang vs Korra.

 

[Gintõki1]

The last airbender , hands down.
It is the same for me, Korra was annoying the whole damn time imo. Aang did a better job, atleast it was for me like that.

Korra actually had development and was a way more interesting character than Aang.
Aang was just ridiculous and his behavior wasn't that realistic.

 

[Negative Knight]

She was also traumatized way too easily z.z

Aang was a 12 year old kid... I think his behaviour was very realistic.

Exactly. She was the avatar, she can't let that happen to her constantly. I mean I know she's only human, but it was way too much.

Korra? TF . How? Cause she turned gay.?
Aangs was way more stone cold solid

She's simply a better written character that had proper growth trough the series. She's also way more realistic than Aang.
Korra and Asami are obviously bisexual as they felt attraction towards Mako as well.

I believe he acted too much like an adult for a 12 year old.

I think Aang is better, i can relate to the kid.

That's because Korra had a lot to deal with. While Aang also had a lot to deal with, hewas childish and naive. He literally ended up in the iceberg because he ran from responsibility. Did you forget the episodes where Aang ran away in Book 5 after waking up on the fire nation ship? Did you miss where he developed insomnia because of his responsibilities? When Aang couldn't figure out Earthbending, he just went back to doing water instead of focusing on figuring out what he was doing wrong. When he got out of the iceberg, he didn't tell Katara and Sokka he was the Avatar. He never intended to at first, Aang was literally gonna just keep on playing his games while neglecting his Avatar duties if Zuko didn't show up. Korra was stressed about shit resulting in her complaining. Aang flaked and ran from shit that stressed him out. Don't let the nostalgia blind you, Aang had his shitty moments too. Lots of them.

And let's be real, like, real ****ing real. Look at the shit that stresses us out. School work, careers, paying bills. You bet your ass if you had the entire world as your responsibility 24/7 you'd be stressed out of your mind and complaining too. And what happened despite all of the complaining? She did it, didn't she? So yeah, I think Korra has earned herself some slack.

Not really. He couldn't even bring himself to kill Ozai.

 

[Bantos]

Not really. He couldn't even bring himself to kill Ozai.

That's exactly one of the reasons. He was so merciful and he hadn't even hit puberty yet.
I'd say it was an adult thing to do.

^^^ This . Legend of korra was so much cooler , in comparison to lame ATLA

 

[AnimusOra]

I liked both of the series as a whole Legend of Korra had a good story line and i feel like it had some more comedic characters than the Last Airbender. But i do feel that the Last Airbender had more lore story and darkness to it compared to Legend of Korra. You made a great point about Aang being the last of his kind. Compared to that Korra doesn't have anything to say in regards to that. Plus, their age differences in the story were significantly different and Aang had way more wisdom and maturity than Korra ever had. Aang was more of a goofball at times, but his teaching with the monks and previous Avatars made him and incredible Avatar. That will always be Korra's downfall is that she does not have access to the past Avatars anymore. She can never regain the wisdom from them like Aang could have.

So she cannot go into the avatar state?

the last airbender is beter then LoK

whut.. how?

And yea ofcourse Korra had more development cuz she always had problems and complaints like OP said. Most of the cast in The last Airbender was "ridiculous" and thats what made it a better show.

He was merciful cuz he was a good person. And the way you said that, implies that you believe children would be okay for the kill, i simply dont see that happening. I mean sure if the kid was clouded or crazy then yeah would probably gut Ozai but in that case he is the Avatar and at that point he was already aware of his responsibilities and how to deal with them in the proper way.

Case cleared?

 

[Vandenreich]

Korra >>> Aang
She bought the Air Nomads back.
Won a fight that occurs every 10000 years.
Created a new spirit portal.
Is prettier.
Her gf is prettier.

And that's only a fraction of it.
