There are many times when Avatar: The Last Airbender is regarded as a masterpiece as compared to The Legend of Korra. There are ways in which the former did a better job at executing concepts that the latter did not even come close to. Understanding characters, indulging in darker themes, and thus far exploring these characters beyond the black and white scaling.
Avatar: The Legend of Korra
Both the shows tried their best but only one prevailed over the other. As a result, The Legend of Korra became a good concept that needed better execution. However, there was one aspect that the series managed to nail in ways the preceding show couldn’t.

What a time for "Avatar: The Last Airbender" fans to be alive. The Aang Gang was first immortalized in Nickelodeon's original animated series, one that practically altered the brain chemistry of countless kids of my generation and introduced us to the sheer potential of storytelling. Netflix most recently took advantage of the nostalgia and goodwill the show still enjoys, translating the tale of Aang's destiny as the Avatar and his war against the Fire Nation into a live-action retelling that quickly justified a second and third season. All that took place as a backdrop to the news first reported two years ago, of course, which indicated that Avatar Studios (headed by the creators of the original show, Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dimartino) was going all in on a trio of new animated movies set in the world of "Avatar."

While the former acted as the introduction, being the initial sketch of what the different elements were able to do; the latter took it to another level. Filling in the color of all that the elements were capable of and creating a final painting of what we know to be one of the most iconic power structures of all time.

Being set several years apart, the spin-off showed the final product that was being created in the original series.

While a huge percentage of fans were glad about this, there were some changes that they were not happy with.

But while the rest of the lore is one thing, there is one specific episode helmed by the showrunners that literally people of all ages could find relatable. And the mastermind co-creators of the 2005 masterpiece, Michael Dante Dimartino and Bryan Konietzko seem to have similar thoughts and opinions on that episode, having created the superhit fan-favorite animated series themselves.

At a time when episodic releases were the norm for shows aimed at children, Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dimartino opted to make Avatar: The Last Airbender a serialized show. And despite being made for children, adults too could find meaning in the series, thanks to the creative duo’s perfection, as it went on to become a phenomenon for an entire generation.
Among the many aspects that added greatly to the show’s quality, its rich world is arguably the most impressive, for which Dimartino and Konietzko went to extensive lengths to make it feel alive. Nothing displays the duo’s desire to go the extra mile more than the city of Ba Sing Se, which has some horrifying real-world roots.

After the incredible success of the Avatar: The Last Airbender series, the show creators, Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dimartino continued the Avatar’s journey with its sequel, The Legend of Korra. Both shows garnered critical acclaim, establishing themselves as one of the best-animated series.

However, both shows occurred in a different timeline, which was evidently visible in their visuals. When it comes to advancements, Aang’s arc revolved majorly around pastoral societies but Korra Universe was completely otherwise. Creators confirmed that Korra’s arc is set in the 1920s era, with the landscape becoming more industrialized.

After several failed adaptations, it seems as though Avatar: The Last Airbender is cursed. While the Netflix adaptation has been renewed for two more seasons, fans have taken the news with a grain of salt. There were several criticisms made about the series, from the acting, the storytelling, and even how the characters were written. However, the one thing that the entire fandom collectively agreed on was that the new series was still much better than the film that came out in 2010.
Avatar: The Last Airbender
Having been directed by M. Night Shyamalan, the film was ripped to shreds before it was even released. It had several issues that made it one of the most hated films of all time and it would seem that the director turned into the public’s main enemy.

Avatar: The Legend of Korra introduced us to Korra, Aang’s successor in the Avatar Cycle. A lot was riding on the show, given that it was being released at the heels of The Last Airbender, a live-action adaptation of the original animated series by M. Night Shyamalan. It proved to be a critical and commercial failure, essentially stalling any hopes the franchise had of making it big. The creators of the show had a very specific idea about the show in their minds, and they wanted to see it realized properly.

One of the many things that were important for the creators of the show, was that Korra should look like a warrior, someone who has trained their entire life in martial arts. The sole purpose of the character was to practice her martial arts and hone her skills, which would have yielded a...

Avatar: The Last Airbender has a slew of characters that are very well-loved by the fan base. The show also boasts a robust and dynamic supporting cast of characters, each of which fans can relate to and be excited about. One such character was The Boulder, one of the fighters in the underground bending ring of the Earth Kingdom.

Coded around Hollywood and WWE legend Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, the creators actually wanted the character to be played by the Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle alum. It almost happened, until the the now-actor’s agents informed the creators that Johnson was not interested in television at that point.

“Water. Earth. Fire. Air. The four nations once lived in harmony, with the Avatar, master of all four elements, keeping peace between them.
