So would you welcome a third series where the ruling class of Air Benders find themselves committing similar violent acts that The Fire Nation did to The Air Benders hundreds of years prior?
.
I'm not trolling or being facetious, but I'm genuinely curious. Jewish people are not a monolith, but the ruling class of Israel is committing similar violent acts upon Palestinians that the Nazis once did.
.
I think that a nuanced exploration on how they break the cycle of said violence, born through generational trauma would indeed be a perfect continuation of the Avatar franchise.
.
And I agree with you that Korra IS the superior show, because of its focused maturity and how Korra learns from and adopts certain viewpoints from every villain that she faces.
.
Imagine a generation past Korra that sees the Air Benders becoming the superior force in the world and subjugates the rest of the other Elemental Nations.
.
I can also argue that the Air Benders can also reflect the Native Americans, scattered across the land diminished, but keeping their culture alive and slowly rebuilding.
.
Same for the ancestors of enslaved Africans, who have rebuilt their culture though western culture, (ie: the tradition of Southern Baptists, is a melding of Christianity and the ritual of chants and dance from the African continent)
.
Seeing how the different Elemental Nations culture has evolved from The Last Airbender to their present day would be pretty cool to see 🙈 n the franchise.
