when zuko said “I can’t believe im saying this, but Sokka is right” immediately I thought - well hold on now, Zuko wouldn’t say that. Zuko has a lot of trust and faith in Sokka, and Sokka has been right multiple times before, there is a reason why he was making the plans and navigating. he was sought out as a leader for a reason

ANYWAYS it seems that they’re taking inspiration from the very first concept of ATLA which had that futuristic, post-apocalyptic vibe (shown in concept art below) and I am really eager to see how they tackle that in the new show!

Another important note is that this is just following the pattern and theme we’ve seen with past Avatars. Every Avatar has to clean up the mess of the previous Avatar, and every Avatar leaves the world with some unresolved conflict. We see this with Yang, Kuruk, Kyoshi - hell, Roku’s inaction led to genocide, colonization, and a 100 year war. The same thing happened with Aang leaving behind unresolved conflicts, and now the same will happen with Korra. Korra isn’t the only Avatar who will leave problems behind, and she won’t be the last. This is a pretty important lesson Korra herself learns during LoK, the Avatar can’t fix everything, and at the end of the day they’re still human.

Again, I do understand the frustrations of Korra facing hatred and misogyny, but I am not a fan of this attitude that any future Avatar projects should only show Korra in a positive light with no flaws, and if she faces any more hate from misogynists, it’s the writers fault, this way of thinking is so restrictive and isn’t fair to both Korra as a character, and the writers who enjoy writing complex female characters. We shouldn’t sanitize Korra just to try and please asshole misogynists, and I think it’s unfair to blame writers for fandom discourse and incels.
