I& #39;ve now compared my cats to characters from #AvatarTheLastAirbender ( https://twitter.com/I_Ailurophile/status/1269364940869173250?s=19)">https://twitter.com/I_Ailurop... and #TheLegendOfKorra ( https://twitter.com/I_Ailurophile/status/1276980622620192769?s=19),">https://twitter.com/I_Ailurop... but the debate rages eternal: which series is better?

I& #39;m continually undecided.
LoK is easily superior in technical terms of the production. Music, sound, effects, animation, all blow AtLA away.

But AtLA has a more compelling narrative. It& #39;s an epic journey, whereas LoK feels more like a simpler series of several adventures, less convincingly interwoven.
Then again, I like Korra as a protagonist much more than Aang. At least to me, Korra is more relatable; her character feels a bit more fleshed out. Though, tbf, maybe that just reflects how Korra is a few years older--Aang is only just learning who he really is, by comparison.
OTOH, the most notable supporting characters of AtLA (Sokka, Kitara; Toph, Zuko, Suki) are generally more likable, more relatable, & better written than those of LoK (Mako, Bolin, Asami; Tenzin & the airbender kids, Verrick). They have more personality, overall. & none are cops.
But: #KORRASAMI! The canon ship that launched a million squeals of delight!
BUT: Zuko& #39;s redemption arc! The absolute best part of either show!
...but: Zuko& #39;s story far overshadows the actual protagonist& #39;s
...also but: while I& #39;m sure it was a matter of what Nickelodeon& #39;s network executives decided could or couldn& #39;t be shown on television, Korra and Asami& #39;s budding relationship isn& #39;t significantly developed in LoK. They don& #39;t get to kiss.
The one area I think both are evenly matched is in the antagonists. Much credit to the writers for such complex, varied opposing characters. Zuko, Azula & friends, Long Feng & the Dai Li. Zaheer & the Red Lotus; Kuvira; Desna & Eska. Even episodic villains have a lot to them.
It doesn& #39;t really matter, ultimately. Both shows are fantastic, both have their strengths and weaknesses.

So what is the point of this thread?

Idk, just filling time.
