Roku was a dope Avatar from what we saw. I'd like to see his story more indepth. Especially his departure from the Fire Nation and his journey to becoming a fully actualized Avatar. The practices, the trips to the Spirit World. The quelling of the Fire Lord's plan for domination. Man... That would be dope to see. :pimp:

Nah would be wack cause we know how he died
 
Next step would probably be a more modern era avatar. It might be me, but it seems like the previous episode recap at the beginning of each episode has a kinda old steampunk industrial revolution feel to it. I would think that the next phase from that would be a more modern storyline. What you guys think?

Aang from the scroll era, Korra from the before color print era, next avatar could be set in 2000s.

That's nice and all but the way the writers are sounding, I don't think they're going to do another show after this.

They seem kinda burnt out if you were to judge from their interviews

Korra gets washed a lot because she just isn't as talented as Aang. I believe some avatars are weaker and stronger than others.


I agree with a post earlier in this thread that the major trump card for the avatar is the avatar state. Aang was a genius Airbender that looked great in most fights just off of his bending alone. I don't think Korra is by any means a genius bender and it shows. In this series, elite level benders have washed Korra on numerous occasions. Aang got worked sometimes but his genius level air bending made the fights he was getting them hands look like draws. Styles make fights but korra has been captured and humiliated more than Aang.

Eh, debateable considering that Korra was using 3 elements at the age of 4, and had mastered those three by the age of 16. Compare this to Aang mastering 1 by the age ot 12. I'd say both feats clearly portray the two as geniuses. Korra then had Air Bending down within a year, and Aang had the other three down in around the same time/a little more. What a lot of people don't realize is that a major benefit of Air Bending is it's defensive capability. This isn't seen in terms of taking blows and getting back up through endurance. It's seen through the ability of the Air Bender to actively redirect or dodge the oncoming attack entirely. Go back and watch Aang's fights, that's what he's doing every single time. That's not to say it's not impressive, because it is. However, it speaks more of a difference in fighting style than in actual talent. He'll always look smoother than Korra, and probably any other Avatar that's not an Air Bender (In this case the Avatar's we've seen to any extent being Korra, Roku, and Wan; possibly also Kyoshi) This applies not only to Aang, but other Air Benders as well in fact. Jinorah shows signs of it as well, and I definitely wouldn't say she's at Korra's level, or Aang's either.

As you said, the people Korra's washed by tend to be Elites, such as Amon or her uncle. With her fighting style of tackling things head on, and not really worrying much about tactics, it's easy to see why she'd get taken down the first few times against such opponents. Even Aang struggled for quite a while against Azula, but again had a style that allowed him to avoid and deal with many of her attacks, and the attacks of others.

I'd take Aang any day of the week of course, but I wouldn't say it's as cut and dry as him being the more talented of the two, or Korra not being a genius.

Wan's two episodes>Legend of Korra; by far.
 
I would really like to someone post Aang's three best fights and Korra's three best fights and we can watch and compare.
 
I agree that air bending allows fights to look closer than they really are as evidenced by my post a few weeks back. I also agree that styles make fights. I posed a question earlier about what it truly means to "master" all four elements. Korra's bending just doesn't pass the eye test. What I mean is that when you saw Aang you knew his air bending was at an elite level, with Korra I can't say she is elite in any one particular bending discipline. Her water bending and fire bending are two of her strong areas but I thought there were other benders in the professional league that were better than her. I'm not trying to take anything away from her.

I posted my thoughts on this after Season 1.

Seeing as the next Avatar would be an Earthbender, if there was a show after this, it'd basically be Rocket Power with bending. Son would be on a skateboard bending half-pipes & ramps.

It'd be ridiculous...but I'd still watch.

I think ya'll comparing Aang vs Korra aren't factoring in the era of each Avatar.

Aang's airbending was superb in fights because people ain't never seen a damn Airbender for a century, literally out of practice when facing an Airbender.

Korra lives in a time where nations intermingle with each other, knowledge and techniques being shared & improved upon.

Republic City got team bending battles & criminals gangs comprised of multiple types of benders, so benders in general are a lot more well rounded than those in the past.

If Aang was teleported to Korra's time, he'd get worked just as much or just permanently stay in the Avatar state.

Bending is a sport and way of life now, I could see Aang having trouble. Korra is like Lebron right now. If Wilt or Bill came back they'd have trouble, the game has evolved, no question.

Yup. I swear Aang's go to move was the avatar state.

I think the writers tried to make it happen so the same thing didn't happen with Korra - ej. getting worked into a corner and then using the Avatar state as a bailout

Then the show would get super predictable and you wouldn't worry about the main character.

Someone made the analogy. The latter stages of the show seems to be the equivalent to an older player learning to play ball without his athleticism

From the same article:

But We Can’t Overlook Korra’s Redeeming Qualities

It wasn’t too long ago that the ‘Legend Of Korra’ central character was poisoned, unable to walk. To go from that to facing off 1v1 against the baddest b----- around is no small feat. ‘Battle At Zaofu’ aside, Korra’s legacy includes being the Avatar that brought back the airbenders. Even Aang couldn’t do that and he was personally invested in the group. Sure it was by accident but Korra still got it done. If Superman had brought back the Kryptonians from extinction or Goku the saiyans it would be kind of a big deal.

Korra reveals one of the biggest character flaws of every Avatar -- more often than not, they’re playing this whole ’sustaining world peace’ thing by ear. There’s no manual on How To Bring Balance To The World For Dummies and the closest thing Korra had to it (the connection to the Avatar’s former lives) was eradicated. Without her connection to Avatar Kyoshi, Avatar Jafar and more Korra might possibly be the worst one of the group. But if so, that certainly makes for an interesting ‘Avatar’ tale, wouldn’t you say?
