One of the worst things TV writers can do is make an unpleasant protagonist that the watchers cannot be drawn to. Korra is an incompetent, indecisive, unrestrained, stupid brat. And shows hardly any signs of growth. All the growth that occurs is superficial and situational, no real attitude/spiritual/moral change happens. That was my biggest issue with this show.
Aang had his own issues that he had to deal with, but overall he was a likeable, morally just, restrained, strong protagonist. I’m not saying Korra should’ve been exactly like this but you can’t just make an annoying brat who can’t stay away from fights as a main protagonist. U just can’t smh. Even zuko is a better protagonist than that.
Also LOK follows the horrible plot that every TV show seems to follow these days. The plot where the protagonist seems to dig themselves an issue and the next couple of episodes is spent fixing it. OVER AND OVER AGAIN. It’s just so unenjoyable and redundant. ATLA was different because aang was never digging himself into problems that they had to fix over and over. There were issues they faced but as a contribution to the overal conflict. And each issue helped tremendously aided the moral & character development of someone.
I like LOK’s 1900s transatlantic industrial city style. If the writers knew how to write they could’ve really made that concept amazing
