[Discussion] The last air bender vs legend of korra
- Thread starter SAHAN1993
- Start date
Atla by book 1 had only reached the North Pole. Katara was the only female, and the boys were at the start of their growth. Book 1 also had several more episodes to develop the characters and had plans for another season so they didn't have to pack everything in the one book.
LoK on the other hand was pressured with a 12 episode limit at first, and by the time Nickelodeon gave the creators the go for another book, the animation was already wrapped up. And for that limit I was rather proud of LoK minus the rushed ending and wasted romance. LoK had great animation, good foundation characters (but that was lost as more and more characters were introduced) and a great plot to work off (too bad, it took the good vs evil too strictly, we never even got to see the side of a non-bender in the entire war). LoK was good ideas. aTla was the original.

Have watched 1 episode of LoK and most of TLA. Iroh is the best character between these two series (hopefully). I think TLA will not be topped by LoK, but Korra herself > Ang. Is that Ang's son in LoK? How did Ang die btw? Who was the mother?

Yes that is Aang's son in LoK. Aang and Katara had 3 kids I believe- Tenzin, Bumi, and a daughter. As for how he died, it was stated that he died due to complications from being in the Avatar State for the 100 years.

Ok, so u wanted to ask u which one is better?
For me it's EASY The last airbender, why u ask?
Well its because of the crew, story and the avatar
TLA is alot funnier and cooler in every way, I mean Sokka was so funny compared to Bolin, Aang was confident and did not cry 24/7 and he was funny.
Naga is a giant fking dog, it can't fly, and apps was better in every way.
Almost any firebender can use lightning unlike be4 when only the really talented could.
Same goes for metalbending.
The evil guy was defeated in 12 episodes, I mean they could at least have done it for like 20-22?
I swear, if season 2 is not ****load better I'm gon get rly mad >_<

Re: Avatar The last airbender vs The legend of Korra
Avatar is a lot better. In Korra, the kid characters are just boring. I wish the show was about Tenzin and Lin. They were two interesting characters. However, Korra did have better villains. Ozai wasn't a very complex villain. However, Amon was a very complex character with valid motives though evil means.
edit: I can say that with no nostalgia goggles. I was introduced to Avatar well after it ended when I was in college.

Re: Avatar The last airbender vs The legend of Korra
People are gonna say TLA because it was completed and had a nostalgia factor.
Literally two people used lightning in LOK, as opposed to three in TLA, so don't ever use that BS argument again.
I like Korra more than Aang, but yes, TLA as a whole is better because it is currently longer, thus, it has had more plot. LOK could very well surpass it and I hope it does.

Re: Avatar The last airbender vs The legend of Korra
I agree with Riker.
Comparing an already completed show that aired during the time when "Cartoons were teh best", to a show that isn't even half over, isn't exactly fair.
Of course people are more likely to answer TLA.

TLA >= LoK because LoK has yet to make me cry.
Though I like Korra more than Aang. Also, Ozai and Amon are equally awesome too.
Still not sure about the new Industrial Age though.

Re: Avatar The last airbender vs The legend of Korra
I also like TLA better so far and I think it will end up still being better unless the writers have found an amazing way to tie their miniseries into this new expanded story of LOK. Aang and Sokka and Toph were definitely more likeable then the fire ferrets. I wish they'd animate the "lost stories" they did the comics of showing Aang and Zuko and thems' adventures and creating Republic City. If you haven't seen them go check your local comic shop.
You're comparing a completed series to a miniseries. LOK was never supposed to be more than season 1 but fan demand persuaded Nickelodeon to persuade the writers to make more. as for the more benders using harder bending tactics that's because of the time gap has given people time to teach their techniques, like Toph, she started teaching Earthbenders how to metalbend who went to teach others etc. etc.Ok, so u wanted to ask u which one is better?

Re: Avatar The last airbender vs The legend of Korra
The Last Airbender was extremely popular and successful, far more than anyone anticipated. As a result they decided to make the Legend of Korra just because TLA exceeded all expectations (originally they hadn't even planned to make so much TLA episodes). However they had no guarantee it would be a success too, as a result they only made a select few episodes to be safe. In the case LoK wouldn't live up to the expectations, well then there wouldn't be too much loss as there are only a select few episodes with a more or less closed story and there wouldn't have been a 2nd season.
From the get-go the LoK has been pretty much an extension of TLA. Without TLA, there wouldn't be a LoK. The LoK is in the end pretty much just something to see how the world of TLA evolved to give the story of Aang more depth and to approach the story from other point of views. So it's just unfair to start asking "which one is the best" while LoK will always be the little sister of TLA and live in its shadow.
Btw for your information Appa was originally supposed to be named Naga and the idea of polar bear dogs was already developed during TLA, however they never introduced them because they didn't find any room for them. Now, with LoK, they found an opportunity to do it. I really don't understand why you are bashing Naga so much, especially considering it's in fact something that was already planned for TLA. Roku had his dragon Fang, Aang his sky bison Appa and Korra her polar bear dog Naga.
Metalbending is not something just anyone can get. Only the metalbending Corps has shown being able to do it and they are specially trained for it. I admit I wasn't so keen either on so many people being able to use lightning, but that's probably the result due to the change in firebending philosophy. During TLA it was 'rage', now, undoubtedly the result of Zuko's reign, it's more centered around 'tranquility' and 'peace', which is much more suited to learn lightning, the 'cold-blooded' fire.
Aang cried hell of a lot of times and wasn't that confident all the time. In fact, between Aang and Korra, Korra seems the most confident one to the point of simply being overconfident and cocky.
Logically the crew, story and the Avatar are not going to be the same. The entire point of the series was to still be familiar, but not repetitive, something that screwed up a lot of popular movies and series. Bolin is the Sokka of the group, however Bolin is not Sokka. Bolin has got his own style of humor.
There is one point however that LoK exceeds TLA, or any other cartoon/anime series, in and that's its animation quality, which is simply superb.
I find this a complete unnecessary and unfair question. Not to mention half of the things you said are not even truly relevant.Ok, so u wanted to ask u which one is better?

Re: Avatar The last airbender vs The legend of Korra
I enjoyed the fights though lol
Legend of Korra was more serious, and I hope they'll give us really something good in the next two seasons. For now I'll have to say TLA, but LOK could still surprise us.
