Did anyone like legend of Korra more than Avatar the last Airbender?
Avatar the last Airbender had some of the best character development I've seen in any show ever. The charecters go through peaks and valley's develop new skills and abilities and by the end of it all put their chips on the table against two virtuoso firebender antagonists.
In a way it felt like Korra flips that on it's head she's the virtuouso who the villains scheme, train and fight to beat this insurmountable monolith that is the avatar. Someone like Amon who trained and created a coalition to take bending away, create a warped version of equality and saw the avatar as the final obstacle to overcome to achieve that and ultimately fell short. Zaheer had a similar arc. Instead of the avatar coming up against an impossible force the avatar in the world of Korra was seen by the antagonists as the impossible force that they needed to overcome.
Further, it has some of the best animation I've seen on any show on Nickelodeon ever. The fights were beautifully animated scenes, the bits of cell shading to random 3d CGI made the world so vast and beautiful.
Also, the voice acting cast was absolutely insane. JK Simmons, Henry Rollins, aubrey plaza, Steve blum, Rami malek. I genuinely don't think I've ever seen a cartoon with that star studded of a voice cast.
Finally, the multiple villains were refreshing. Mark Hamill killed it as fired Lord Ozai he was a great villain but he kind of felt somewhat one dimensional he was a sadistic imperialist. The avatar had put in so much work by the fight with him at the end of the show though it almost felt like their was no way team avatar wasn't about to stomp out Azula and Ozai. Every villain in Korra has an underlying philosophy. Amon was working to create what he saw as an equal society. Zaheer was working to remove systems of control, etc.
That being said I love both deeply.
