i think the worst, maybe even the only bad idea that has came out of this franchise is the idea of a "dark" avatar or "dark" spirits.or just rava and vatu in general. any other idea has some good things about it but this one just goes against everything that was established in ATLA. yet for some reason they keep bringing up this idea like it's the best one they've ever had

[@eroz0]

Yes. The original Avatar was all about balance. And then they decided to go with the trite light/dark, good/evil narrative.

[@hcxpl1]

I mean, I have no reason to believe this, but maybe this whole dual Avatar thing is precisely about balance between order and chaos?! I'm really hoping so and I guess soon we will discover just how delusional I am

[@user-sl6gn1ss8p]

My hope is that the new series manages to backpedal a bit and rescue some nuance - the "dark avatar" in Korra was brought forward by an ill-intended guy looking for a link with a powerful spirit which was imprisoned, and I sure wouldn't mind a bit of retconning on the way that ended up presenting the spirits

Cool but it isn’t just about balance it’s about the cycle of balance and chaos, everything must fall into chaos for a new balance to be born of of said chaos.

This reads like fanfiction and I know this because I LITTERALLY WROTE ALMOST EXACTLY THIS SAME THING!

[@Auron1Roxas2]

Clown, you didn't write anything, you just based your fanfic off of what creators had already established. We already had a dark avatar in legend of korra, it was literally unalaaq. The dark avatar already existed before Pavi and Nisha and the creators are clearly delving deeper into that.

[@dannylo5875]

Probably steal or read stuff from fans. Honestly, you should make sure your work wasn't plagiarized. Because some of these companies like Viacom or paramount or Disney do balent IP rip off from fan works because they own the IP and think derivative works belong to them and also creative inspiration and licensing requirements protect them from future misuse through patent or deed IP.

I’m….not feeling this new series the more I hear about it😭 Avatar has been part of my life since 2005 when I was 6. But this doesn’t feel right. And Korra being the one responsible for the world being destroyed? For as much hate as she has gotten over the years, this literally just made Korra’s haters foam at the mouth ready to eviscerate her even more- I remember when Korra first came out in 2012 and I was initially skeptical/scared of the idea of a world where the original team Avatar had either passed on or were old. It took me some time but when I rewatched the series when I became an adult, I grew to like Korra despite her many flaws and mistakes. There came a point I decided to humble myself and was finally open enough to hear people out regarding their criticisms of her to understand why a good chunk of the fanbase hated her. That being said, I will acknowledge maybe it’s just my initial feelings because of what I’m hearing. Maybe it’s because I’m not quite ready for this type of change because I grew up with Avatar and I can’t imagine the world Bryke built all those years ago being torn apart from an apocalypse as a result of one person- or one Avatar for that matter. I have to see the series for myself when the time comes to see how I’ll feel. I trust that they’ll give us something meaningful to watch as they have before and I will forever remain grateful for this franchise…. but for now, my heart aches a little😔

HOW is Legend of Korra worse?

[@SliverHell]

In Jojo, Araki aimed to getting better at writing the narrative and characters progressively throughout the manga. Compare how stale the characters and story are in Jojo Part 1 to Part 5, not even Part 7 and beyond. But just Part 5, more memorable characters, more defined and intrigruing battles, MORE THEMATIC storytelling (Giorno being Jesus, Diavolo being the Devil, relative to Part 1, where its a vampire hunting story. The writers of ATLA try to change their storytelling by writing something different, never improving on the points, which they already established. (Hence, for instance, Bolin isnt as funny Sokka, and Mako isnt as relatably damaged as Zuko )

[@staotheduck4853]

I believe that Yue is the answer to the Avatar sisters' dynamics. As a baby, Yue received part of the "soul", "spirit", "aura", "chi field" of the Moon Spirit (Tui) and becomes a "Horcrux". Perhaps Tui had prior knowledge of his death and needed that life ballast? During this energy exchange, Yue's hair changes color. Moving on to Pavi and Nisha, it would be possible for Nisha to have been born lifeless and Raava-Pavi transferred part of the "Spirit" which became the Avatar's "Horcrux". And a possible change would be to have bendings.

[@redt8311]

One of the biggest issues when it comes to sequels and prequels for many ppl. is it can often render any solid theories & interpretations about initial story as basically only personal headcanon at best moving forward. Or at worst completely retcon’s & 180’s aspects of the initial official canon as opposed to just simply expanding on the initial canon. Even for some ppl prequels/sequels are the worst due to the fact that it robs the audience of using their own imagination to fill in gaps of what happened before/after the events show on screen. 🤔

[@gamingwitharlen2267]

I am hoping they will end the series with something along the lines, "of one can not exist with the other," or "there must be both chaos and peace" or "light can't exist without darkness." Basically establising a Ying and Yang that was communicated in Avatar Wan's 2 episode in TLOK, but was contradicted when Wan only incorporate Raava but not Vaatu into the Avatar spirit.

[@user-sl6gn1ss8p]

I actually really like this, it sounds philosophically interesting even? Like, first avatar breaks the bond between the spirits. Kora breaks the cycle from the first avatar but also reestablishes the bond between the spirits, only this time also linked to the new avatar cycle. It gives a positive, "forward" spin to the whole messing with the cycle in Korra. Also, biologically identical twins come from a single cell, which then separate and eventually differentiate (phenotypically), in a neat parallel to the spirits. Another bonus is that by having a new "dark avatar" who is born with this link, instead of explicitly obtaining it later and for nefarious means, they have the chance to re-explore and touch up the whole situation where they took yin-yang and turned it into good-bad. Also, the whole situation would probably tie with whatever happens to the world. I'm not saying it will work out, but honestly this has my attention way more than "next avatar but a bit in the future".

[@samueldamilola6258]

Well, I'll certainly watch this new entry into this beloved franchise but, in my opinion, the best showcase of what two equal-yet-opposite Avatars could have been like came from a Fanfic series: Avatar, The Last Airbender books 5 (Chaos, complete), 6 (Order, complete) and 7 (Spirit, hiatus), by Morgman. In this fic, there was always supposed to be two Avatars: one representing Spirit & Mind and in charge of handling the spirit realm (and having the associated psychic/energybending powers plus the 4 elements) and the other representing Nature and Blood (in tune with the natural world and having enhanced physical abilities and animal-related powers + bending). The fic has its flaws and its strengths but it's author took the time to flesh out the dual-avatar concept and how it could work in line within his take on the AtLA universe.

[@AceFuzzLord]

Didn't know there was even gonna be a new series, but the more I hear about a post apocalyptic Avatar setting, the more pumped I am. As a casual viewer I personally don't mind if they have to retcon some things so long as they don't destroy everything. So far I'm looking forward to this. Can't wait to see where it goes, as someone who didn't have any major problems with TLOK like I know various fans did. My only hope is that the writers don't go lazy and just explain away what happened and potentially caused an apocalypse is that "Avatar Go Bad!" and not explain anything about what happened. If anything, I hope they go down the route of these different havens having different stories/retellings of what happened that contradict one another and you as a viewer can try to piece the truth together as the other characters do, but I doubt they'll go down that route.

Exactly, the entire point of the spirit world in the original show was that you can enter it if you're spiritually gifted/worked for it. Korra just took that and made it so "erm akctuali the avatar has opened the magical portals to the spirit world that were there since like, forever 🤓" and now everyone gets to go to the spirit world.

[@WeekendWarriorLegend]

If the leaks are true, it looks like the world of avatar storytellers needs an apocalypse too.

[@AveragePsychologist]

If they made a Chaos Avatar cycle, they should have made it backwards, like Water > Air > Fire > Earth. In order for both Avatars to be reincarnated as twins, Korra should've taken down at least two Chaos Avatars before passing away (maybe she and the Chaos Fire Avatar passed away at the same time), meaning that Nisha has four entities to draw advice from (Vaatu > Unalaq > Chaos Air Avatar > Chaos Fire Avatar), while Pavi only has two (Raava and Korra) :'v Plus, they should be able to talk with both Spirits since they don't have that many past lives acting as filters, though to make things even I hope Pavi could restore her connections to at least Aang and Roku, that way both the Order and Chaos cycle would reach balance.

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

I mean maybe it makes sense since Vaatu basically exists within Raava after Korra’s battle with UnaVaatu.

I already imagined that Korra would cause the destruction of the world, she made several bad decisions, leaving countless enemies with the bend, and even alive, despite the crimes committed. Korra wasn't a good Avatar, ok, it doesn't matter if you're a fan or a hater of Korra, she didn't know how to be a good Avatar, period. Now, I thought that the next story would actually show the new Avatar having to correct Korra's mistakes, learning from herself not to repeat her mistakes from her previous life, although I didn't think about a post-apocalyptic world. This could be phonetically fantastic or a melodic nightmare. Because it is A CHANCE to correct all the errors in Korra's Story, not only in the character, but also in the script, which from beginning to end was disappointing. A failed heroine who seeks to redeem herself, a villain using evil to achieve the greater good, or giving hope in a world without her. It's something we all urgently need today. Avatar is a critique of our own world, we are at a decisive moment of evolution or death, living in dystopia. These two could be the redemption or destruction of the franchise. NOTE: I hope they don't turn them into bad stereotypes like Korra.

I think it'd be interesting if they are the focus they do something big and interesting. Have them unlock Lightbending and Shadowbending. Have the "Light" Avatar use Energybending to give the Element of Light. And The "Dark" Avatar gives the Element of Shadow. Or, if they can't, have them discover the Lion Turtles of Light and Lion Turtle of Shadow. Maybe in the last Season both could gain the opposite Element even.
