Why Do People Dislike The Legend Of Korra?

Fans’ comparisons between The Legend of Korra and Avatar: The Last Airbender have sparked debates, but it’s important to “be the leaf” and appreciate each series individually. The spin-off series, The Legend of Korra, was initially planned as a 12-part miniseries by the creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. However, when their pitch for an Avatar movie sequel was declined, they expanded Korra into a four-season show.

Opinions on The Legend of Korra are divided, with some fans passionately loving it while others vehemently dislike it. This is not unique to the Avatar fandom; similar criticism arises when new Star Wars films deviate from fans’ expectations. People’s love for a series often leads them to resist changes or perceived “ruination” of something they hold dear. However, it is frustrating when some fans gatekeep the world of The Last Airbender, a world characterized by the ability to manipulate the elements.

Despite airing almost a decade ago, the dislike for The Legend of Korra remains. Part of this may be attributed to the show’s irregular airing schedule, making it difficult for fans to follow. However, when the series became available on Netflix a few years ago, both long-time viewers and newcomers had the chance to experience the complete arc of Korra’s story. Yet, even after all this time, the debate of which series is better, The Last Airbender or Korra, still persists.

While The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra share a rich and immersive world, they differ greatly in their storytelling. The Last Airbender focuses on Avatar Aang’s journey to end the Fire Nation’s century-long war and restore balance. In contrast, The Legend of Korra takes place 70 years later, with Korra as the new Avatar, mastering multiple elements but struggling with airbending. The series follows Korra’s growth and challenges as she faces different antagonists each season, exploring more mature and nuanced themes.

Some fans find The Last Airbender to be a more polished and unified whole, while others appreciate the distinct and episodic nature of The Legend of Korra. Korra’s character development, her struggles with identity and mental health, and the series’ exploration of complex antagonists offer a different perspective compared to The Last Airbender’s epic tale of a group of friends fighting against an evil empire.

The dislike for The Legend of Korra should not overshadow its merits, including its crisp animation, memorable characters, world-building, and sharp writing. Both series succeed in telling their intended stories, and having a preference for one does not make the other inherently bad. The Legend of Korra’s cancellation on Nickelodeon was marked by a lack of proper marketing and logical broadcast, but its legacy has been revived on Netflix, and its contribution to queer representation in children’s media will always be remembered.
