So /co/, now that both are long over, which was better?
>>
Both of them were born in the wrong time. Korra would have worked way better fighting the Fire Nation and Aang would have rocked at solving complex political problems peacefully.
In terms of who did best, I´d say Aang fucked up the least, so Aang was better in that regard.
Character wise, as in picking the best character, I´d say Korra was a bit more complex and interesting for me because she suffered more, at least, judging the events that transpired the series. Aang had a pretty fucked up backstory and had some tough moments, such as when he, well, died. But I think Korra got the shit beaten out of her more often and still did her best. That's pretty engaging for me.
However, that last part is subjective.
So, they were better and worse in general.

When it comes to how they fit in their world, I think Aang just comes around as the character who despite being in a very opposing setting pushed through the best. I mean, his pacifist ways in the long run worked better in a world in war than Korra's aggressive ways in a relatively pacific world.

So, I think the point goes to Aang.
>>
>>87791688
Aang because he didn't get every single thing wrong
>>
>>87791826
>Both of them were born in the wrong time.

I think that was kinda the point, but i can see how having a aggressive Avatar in a time that needs meditation will probably end up worse for it

I liked the drama it created though
>>
AtLA

Even with what >>87791826 said it's still wrong for that aspect. Korra would not have worked better at fighting the Fire Nation and not for the reason that Bryke would have had her fail just as much as in her LoK version. Aang brought peace to a war torn world. Korra would, if the star were right, would have fought down the Fire Nation with violence and there would be another power vacuum once the current Fire Nation Royal Family was subdued. So the situation would end up like how the Earth Kingdom ended up in Korra's time.

Switching them, also, would not work. Aang managed to get through to Zuko because Zuko also had good inside of him that wanted to be at the forefront. He had honor and reason to his actions that was above what LoK's antagonists had.
Aang would NOT have "rocked at solving complex political problems peacefully" because:
1.) It is an action adventure show
2.) Korra did approach things peacefully at first in Books 2-4 but the antagonists wouldn't have it
3.) Aang did not settle things by sitting down to mediate things but through action
4.) The antagonists in LoK were using politics as a means to their own ends, they were not open to political solutions
They would not listen to Aang. They would fight back.

Aang wasn't the worst avatar of all time, so I'd have to say he was a bit better.

Retardation is not complex nor interesting. She wasn't conflicted, she was stupid.

Also, she would be dead day-1 for not running away from the fire nation.

>>87799760
It's an excellent example on how not to write. If you ever find yourself or someone you know having difficulty finding out how to write a character or expand lore or reveal a mystery, watch Korra to see how bad ideas can run amuck and how terrible execution can kill.

Obviously Atla but the gap isn't that wide.

Atla also has those aspects. They wrote themselves in a corner from day 1, which ended up giving us a most unsatisfying ending.
>>
>>87800297
You're talking about the avatar state? i really don't see how this is a bad thing.

Honestly, people that expected some sort of epic/hard fight, or Aang to just kill him, just sound like edgy teenagers. There is nothing really wrong with how things ended; Aang decided to stick with his morals, and in the end manage to control the avatar state to win.

ATLA
>>
>>87791688
Are you asking which show was better or who would win in a fight?

ATLA was a better show no contest.

I don't know who would win in a fight because Korra has powers that didn't exist in the first show but Aang is a much better fighter. I don't think he ever lost a one on one.

People forget that Aang had a whole conflict of losing his avatar state, having an entire episode centered on it for it to then be recovered by a FUCKING ROCK TO THE BACK.
It would've been 3x as satifying having the entire gang meet up and fight the Fire Lord and cover for Aang's weakness for not having a boost in each of the elements he wasn't born with, since that was the ENTIRE POINT that he abandoned his dominion over the Avatar State, for love and friends.
>>
>>87803765
I'm not ignoring shit, that's exactly part of the writing corner I was talking about
>>
>>87802324
You don't write a moral dilemma that involves killing a character (while at the same time putting seemingly insurmountable snags in the way of the alternative) when your show won't allow for that to happen.
>>
>>87803765
And who wrote the finale of Aang's story? That specific episode, who is credited with writing it?

The same duo that wrote the entirety of Book 1 and wrote the finale of Book 2 and Book 4 of Korra's story.
>>
>>87803765
i'm glad it didn't end like:
>we have to combine our powers and attack the fire lord all at once to defeat him

that would have been too cliche
>>
>>87791688
Aang's was better overall, though Korra's not to be ignored.

Korra's seasons were disjointed. While Aang's main villain was always the Fire Lord, with minor villains and trials leading up to him, Korra killed the best, most dangerous villain with the best backstory in the first season (Amon) when everything should've been leading up to him.

I'm not hating on Korra, though, because I did like her series and watched it every week. Loved the characters, though I thought a younger group, like Aang's had been, would've made the series much better. Mako and Bolin as street orphans, Asami as an affluent child slumming it up, whose mother is murdered by a fire bender (possibly a ruse by Amon in order to get her father on his side), and Korra being the same Korra, only smaller.
>>
>>87791688
TLA by a longshot
>>
>>87791688
Both. They're still one series. Also, Korra had the better villains.

Didn't Aang lost it by getting hit in the back?

1. people died before in ATLA
2. Aang just decided not to kill. Stop being an edgy kid.
>>
>>87791688
Last Air Bender. It was better put together with a stronger plot.
Korra shat the bed twice and had 2 seasons that could be summarized as "older man manipulates little girl"

Nigga did you even fucking watch the series? He unlocked the Avatar State by, in the middle of a fucking crisis, focusing on it instead of saving his friends. He had to accept that there were things more important and by turning his back on them, albeit briefly, that was the way to unlocking it. He didn't sacrifice shit.
>>
>>87806187

He got hit with lightning while in the Avatar state, I think...

>>
>>87806378
by a fucking lightning dude, hardly something that a rock can recover
>>
>>87806594
he got hit on that exact same spot, anon. That's the reason he couldn't get into avatar state; the 'chakra'/marma/whatever you call it was locked. It's not stretching at all to think that hitting it again could unlock it.
>>
>>87806838
1. with enough force, a rock can cause just as much damage
2. it was on the Exact same place

As i said, it's far from unthinkable that hitting it again could unlock his powers again.

I still think Aang should have beaten Ozai without Avatar god-mode. He should have instead have beaten Ozai by seamlessly using all four elements because he understood the underlying temperament / principle behind each one, showing that he is a master of the elements not because he was born the Avatar but because he had reached enlightenment.
>>
>>87809730
He did though.

Stood his ground and shot him out of the sky with earthbending.
Used lightning redirection based on waterbending movement to shoot back the a technique of firebending back at Ozai.
Stuck to his interpretation of airbending principles and made sure the sure-kill shot of lightning didn't strike Ozai.

Then at the end used earthsense to see Ozai's movement despite having his back turned. Overpowered Ozai firebreath that is augmented by the comet with his own regular airbending. Then casually lifted the ocean and put at the fires with waterbending.

>>87810091
