Can I talk about Avatar for a second?? Lemme talk about ATLA/ALoK for a second.
Like, so, I have many, many...many....grievances and hangups about A:LoK. I have tried to watch it twice, and while the first season is okay, the second season made me so mad that I dropped it. Twice. I have not watched the third season or got to see Gays In Action in 4k, because I was that disappointed.
I remember a hell of a lot about ATLA...but I can barely remember anything about Korra. That’s mostly due to my disappointment, but the fact remains that I barely remember the show, after watching it twice, and it’s the latest installment. That being said, I remember one thing that stuck out to me most....
Vaatu.
I am so, SO disappointed that they really just!! Made up this AMAZING concept of an Avatar counter-spirit, and they were just like!! “Oh yeah, his concepts are chaos and darkness, he’s EVIL, dudes.”
The one thing in the world that could possibly rival one as strong as the Avatar, would have been Another Avatar. They could’ve done something amazing with that!! They could finally have a balancing act!! A great leadup to this bigger enemy, with a twist at the end - like how ATLA did it with Ozai, with Aang refusing to kill him and instead taking away his bending!! The outcome wasn’t expected, but it still led to the same ending, with a better meaning behind it because it didn’t force Aang outside of his boundaries!! But...LoK didn’t have that. It was “Here’s this sketchy guy, we all Know he’s sketchy, but LOOK, THE TWIST IS THAT HE’S SKETCHY!! BUT ON A MORE EXTREME LEVEL!! Haha!!”
The only thing that LoK managed to twist was the lore of the world, by expanding on the Avatar, how it came to be, and by introducing a spirit of EQUAL POWER to the Avatar. I love Wan’s and Raava’s story, that isn’t my problem with this twist. My problem lies in the fact that Vaatu was merely made to be the Evil Avatar Spirit, in a world where balance and equality mean everything. I think Vaatu being the spirit of Chaos and Darkness would’ve been so cool to explore, if the creators had time to explore him - because Chaos and Darkness aren’t evil, they’re nature. What is morality anyway to a spirit?? Why make an Evil Spirit?? Why not explore WHY Vaatu is the way he is rather than say he just is??
Does that mean that Tui and La are merely good and evil, then?? They’re supposed to represent Yin and Yang, quite literally. Is Tui, the moon, evil simply because they can only thrive in the darkness?? Is La evil, because the sea is unrestrained and takes innocent lives, being a chaotic force?? Shouldn’t Tui and La be CLOSE, or at least GRATEFUL to Vaatu for giving them the darkness they need to remain balanced?? I don’t know too much else about the spirit gods in Avatar, so idk if there’s a Spirit of the Night, but my point still stands - the moon can’t prosper without darkness, and the ocean needs the moon. How can that be constrained to an idea as simple as “evil”??
Was La in the wrong or the in the right for destroying those fire nation ships, for taking control of Aang, for taking Zuko’s crew away from him after their other half died??
I just think that the world of ATLA/ALoK would have been so much better if Vaatu wasn’t just...Evil Bad Guy Spirit. The balancing act would’ve been restored if there are two Avatars (and Raava should be seen as something that can become Too Much - too much light, too much serenity/complacency, too much order means that there’s no room for self-identity, chance, risk, and the ability to look inward. If Raava can go too far, but be held back by their Avatar, then why can’t the same be held for Vaatu??). For a world that says that balance and equality is the true guide to peace, it seems really, really desperate to keep only one Avatar.
Vaatu would have been an excellent twist, if he just wasn’t so one-sided, and if it was anyone else but goddamn Unalaq.
That being said, I think Tui, La, and Vaatu (and maybe Wan Shi Tong, that giant Owl bitch) would’ve been/should be Ride or Die.

Does Republic City have in-ground plumbing and electrical lines? What are the ramifications of earth benders on infrastructure?
Like, you can do your electrical lines all above ground, they're more vulnerable to weather but you don't have to worry as much about downing the grid of an entire section of the city if someone bends the street up (and that might just fit better with the level of tech that was common in the era being referenced in Korra).
But plumbing? I'm no plumber but I'm pretty sure that's gotta be in the ground and even without metal bending you can absolutely obliterate a plumbing and sewage system by moving the ground. Do you have to dig deeper than usual to give more clearance?
What are the city ordinances for bending, anyway?
In the first episode when Korra bent the street to stop the gang members did she take out the plumbing for that area?
Have they covered this in the comics? Inquiring minds want to know!

ok regarding my earlier post abou being surprised by korrasami not ending up together (because i wasnt aware that they wouldnt) -- i have since been told about how big of a deal it was for them to even be queer in a show as mainstream as an avatar one. i wasnt saying i was upset w the creators not making them canon during the shows runtime; im grateful for them to even making them a couple at all! i have gotten some comments as well as some pretty strongly worded asks :) so thank you for the people who nicely told me about what i didnt know and for the rest it wouldnt kill you to be nicer
note: just to clarify i love korrasami!!!! im currently reading the comics <33

I think it's interesting how whenever Korra starts learning something new, she's so focused on the "fighting" aspect, even though she was raised in a secluded, safe environment. She didn't even know that there was turmoil in Republic City until she arrived there. She pretty much thought there was world peace and everything was great until she left home.
Fighting Amon instead of getting nowhere with her airbending sounds exciting, until the very real possibility that he could actually hurt her hits her square in the face.
She starts learning more about spirits, but learning how to battle spirits gone bad? That sounds sooo much better than meditating with the monks. Until she realises that there are so many more consequences attached.
It's like she's super keen on getting in on the action, but because she grew up so isolated from the world, it takes her a while to register that action as real and dangerous.

(Book 4)
Bolin: What do you think is wrong with Korra?
Asami: Off the top of my head, I'd say low self-esteem, unresolved trauma, and a a recent predisposition for anxiety and ptsd
Korra: I'm right here.
