First off all,
>De-canonize Korra
Okay, now we can begin.
>70 years after the end of the War, the world is now on the precipice of another great tragedy. Firelord Zuko has been ousted by a Military coup, led by younger commanders who are upset at what they see as unfair punishments laid on their nation for the sins of their fathers.
>The world has rapidly industrialized, leading to the probability that the next war may not leave room for another afterwards. Mass armies of rifle equipped conscripts, large artillery batteries, flying machines, and armored vehicles now march to war from all nation's.
>Avatar Aang, who has been working hard to restore the lost society of the Air Nomads, now in his old age, must now try to bring balance once again to a world gone mad with hatred.
ITT: Your ideal Avatar sequel show
Your idea is bland shit, sorry.
A new avatar cleaning up korras fuck up.
>150 years later we follow an Avatar dealing with minor issues the entire story is built around world building.
>The Avatar them self is just a fun dork who is taking time to learn more about the nuances of parts of the world things like the differences between parts of the earth kingdom
I'd rather take Korra and fix it.
We'll stick with the premise of the first season, but make Asami the Avatar. Asami is the mechanically-minded daughter of an urbanite industrialist, with no interest in bending. Her parents rejected her destiny or swapped babies or some shit, and she's grown up with no knowledge of her powers. She feels for the plight of the repressed nonbenders and is able to sympathize with them and mask-face, I can't remember his name.
Eventually she learns who she is when the Avatar state manifests to save her life, and she has to learn to reconcile the world of magical bullshit kung-fu magic with the rapid industrialization and modernization of their culture. She learns to combine her bending with her machinery passion, ushering in an era of benders and nonbenders working together. Maybe they invent a mech that requires benders and nonbenders to operate it.
You can still have Korra, but she's just some dykey waterbender hick that Asami hooks up with. Maybe Korra helps Asami understand why waterbending is cool, I don't know.
Get rid of all the first series cameos that add nothing. Get rid of Mako and his fat friend, write better guy characters. The old airbender guy and his family can stay, as well as the old lady earthbender cop.
Never gonna work, decanon and re-using the same elements already used but in different ways.
Think it would be more viable to pick a prequel, there were 10000 years between Avatar Aang and the Vatuu merge.
I want to see a good season of Avatar Kiyoshi, how she became avatar, how she stopped fights across the continents from the earth conquerer. Maybe some good back history of her family being one of those village and not knowing she was the avatar for a while, all the way up seperating kiyoshi islands her eventually having to set up the dai-lee. Lots of elements with good story, spirit, plot elements and intriges could be build here and we only know she lives. But everything in regards to romance and other people living/dying is still totally open.
This could work with the right execution.
Korra dies young in a mysterious event (that we learn about throughout the series). A new avatar from the Earth Republic (post-Empire) is born. His specialty is metal bending and he can do a bunch of cool shit. Korra is the only past avatar he has available, but she is somewhat unhelpful (because reasons). The main goal of the new avatar is to reconnect with spirits of past avatars who have lost their way and now wander aimlessly throughout the world. Most of the past avatars gravitate towards places that are relevant to their own lives (Kyoshi's spirit is near Kyoshi Island for example).
But that undoes everything Korra has built upon especially having the last word in being the final Avatar.
>Korra dies young in a mysterious event
>Killed by the literal fandom
good
Kind of? Most of the continuity would still be in-tact.
The alternative is having Korra grow old while never bothering to reconnect with past avatars, yet having the new avatar want to reconnect with them for some reason. It would be easier to have her die young. And it would add a layer of mystery.
Don't know, suicide by depression seems the most reasonable ground for her death :/ No matter how you're gonna turn it it would leave a bad taste. In that case I prefer you pull some magic spirit bullshit and have her seperated from the avatar chain. It's been done before, we've seen Vatuu, it wouldn't be a stretch.
>Korra dies in her mid sixties due to assassination (we learn why throughout the series)
>An earth Bender is of course born as the avatar, but he was separated from his parents at 6 before anyone found out he was the avatar
>Ten years later
>Tyko (the avatars name) is in hiding because he thinks that the world is fine without the avatar, but he does go out in public with a robe on
>He also good with earth, water, and air bending, but struggles with fire
>A non bending girl with a passion for business seeks the help of the "Metal Master"
>She finds Tyko expecting him to metal bend, appearently he's just a metal head
>She also finds out he's the avatar and that he thinks the avatar Is unneeded
>She immediately tries to kill him

>look i hate korra so i will make the story about her being a bad guy
retards all of you
From reading your post, I don't feel you actually understand the source material at all and you want it to be something it isn't. For all of it's occasional edge and high stakes battles the Avatar universe still operates on kid logic and is at its core very whimsical and harmless.
Rape doesn't exist.
Murder and death are only ever hinted at and a very big deal is made whenever it's actually presented.
Absolutist concepts like "world conquest" are used in place of more nuanced finite political limits and goals.
Pre-Teen love turns into marriage.
Teenagers become generals
You beat the bad guy to win the war
Grimdark ww2 mass conscript armies and atom bombs don't really fit. It screams of things being crammed into a box that was never made to fit them.
Part of Korra's problem was trying to be more grown up than it ever needed (or should have) to be.
To be fair world conquest is not that daunting (relatively speaking) in Avatar's world, it's pretty small. There's nothing but water on the opposite side of the planet. If Zaheer had managed to completely take out the Avatar, someone like Kuvira could have definitely achieved world domination. The Earth Kingdom/Empire is the biggest part of it.
>To be fair world conquest is not that daunting (relatively speaking) in Avatar's world
No it isn't because again, kid logic. Earth benders are all pretty much different aspects of not-china, it's got like, two big cities and one is really in a class of its own regarding size. The different shades of language contributing to ethnicity and adding to nationality while framing cultural attitude and the movements this sparks in our universe is completely absent in avatar universe. And for good reason, it's for children and the story doesn't need it. It doesn't add to the story to have the Earth Kingdom be a living breathing place like it would be in the real world. It would just make it harder for a kid to follow.
No new show, no nothing, just LOK gets reconned and nothing else gets produced.
Korra was fine, just do a few things.
>Make Amon and actual energy bender and the long term villain over the course of three seasons
>Make the Equalists the antagonist faction for the entire thing
>No dark avatar or earth empire
There, it's fixed
So Avatar but old?
Bland.
shit this is not a bad idea user. at least the concept of an Avatar who needs to reconnect with the natural world.
>all this bullshit
No. Stop being fucking addicted to that time period. Either jump forward 400 years or jump backwards 400 years.
Otherwise you’re stuck with a situation like in Star Wars where EVERYTHING is about the fucking Skywalkers.
>and is at its core very whimsical and harmless.
This. So many people don't fucking get this.
You can't undo Korra. Korra happened, it's shit, but it exists in the minds of every fan. So if you want to "fix" the avatar series, then redeem it in a sequel.
I would look into a reason to close the spirit portals. Did Korra change her mind and close that shit up? Or did the portals close up from Korra's passing?
They need to address Vaatu. He was defeated, and it was stated that when he is destroyed he will reemerge from Raava. So when Korra dies, will Vaatu respawn and continue the dark avatar line?
I thought it was odd that the other side of the planet was just ocean. I wish there was a whole other world to explore.
I don't mind this idea. Have the avatar be someone sort of like Korra who is looking for some big bad but instead they have to around fixing minor issues non-combat related issues like urban trash collection or homelessness
>I thought it was odd that the other side of the planet was just ocean
I found it odd that water benders don't live under water.
>Skip the Earth Avatar. Just call it a time of peace and nothing interesting happened and his life was pretty fucking chill.
>Go straight to Fire
>Fire avatar is a descendant of Azula, who way back when started a cult of fire nation nationalists that recognized her as supreme leader and "The Fire Goddess", with Ozai being venerated as the Phoenix King and a deity himself, with past firelords all being the eastern equivalent of saints. Ursa is vilified as a betrayer, Iroh a demonic spirit of deception and cowardice, and Zuko is remembered as a tragic figure who betrayed his most holy father and sister, falling to darkness after being tempted by Iroh, and crossing a point of no return that caused the Fire Nation to crumble into a complacent little lap dog for the rest of the world.
>The cult views the Avatar being born from Azula's blood as a sign of divine providence and the dawn of a new age for the fire nation.
>They raise the new Avatar with nothing but cold, calculated malice and a lust for power. Their goal to see him/her sit on the throne as the new Fire Lord, and retake that which was lost so long ago.
>While they spend their youth training, the cult rallies other fire benders across the globe who are upset with their nation's lot in life, or are just despondent at their own helplessness, and recruit them into the cult to fight for the avatar. They also attract numerous malicious spirits (Now that the portals are permanently open) who wish to exploit this situation to their advantage.
>The first book is the Avatar being a force for destruction as they wage war with their small army of fire bending zealots and malicious spirits, all the while trying to chase away the voices of past avatars trying to course correct this wayward avatar, yet are dismissed as evil spirits send to sway them from their birthright. Mostly because the only voices this avatar can hear are Korra the eternal failure and Earth bro.
Honestly my idea is that Korra matured and eventually begins to focus on trying to reconnect to the past avatars and she got to bring back like maybe 20% of them before she unexpectedly and tragically dies,the ones she brings back are in random order and not working specifically in order. The next avatar would have to finish fixing the cycle and it’s like a side mission for the new avatar as they are on their adventure.
Short series based upon what happened after AtLA. Korra and the current comics decanonized.
Includes a good conclusion to Zuko's mom and more.
Sang spends the first half traveling around searching for Airbenders and increasingly ignoring his responsibilities. Eventually Katara convinces him to give up, but Sokka takes him for one last go based upon a rumor from an old fisherman about the unmapped half of the world. They set out in a ship, as Appa is incapacitated for some reason, and eventually wash up on a tropical island filled with Polynesian Waterbenders. As this stuff happens, we still follow the rest of the Gaang, who eventually get worried about Aang and Sokka.
As Aang and Sokka spend time around the Polynesians, they learn about their culture and have a good time. After a few weeks, their ship is repaired, but before leaving they get told they're setting out the wrong way. But they aren't, so Sokka asks them what they mean. The Polynesians say that their land is some other direction, so Aang and Sokka head that way. They sleep, and we end on a morning shot of Aang looking at an ancient Airbender tower in the distance, a few gliders heading towards them.
Also give some more background facts about the world. How many of each Nation were there? Did they each have the same number of Benders, which is why the small-in-number Air Nomads were all Benders? Is that number Holy?
What were most of the Nomads doing? Did they leave their children with the elders so they could continue traveling and preaching. Would Aang have met his parents eventually?
Etc. More Airbender lore and stuff.
kinda cool
