Hello everybody! Frist I want to
make this post about who is better than who, or am I? Well I want to say that I
have seen a lot of things about this two avatars and I want to point it out
them for you to understand why do everybody reacts the same in front of this
two shows.
I remember when in season 2 of Korra’s
saga, the connection with the past avatars is severed and Korra is no longer
able to communicate with them, and a friend said that now the show could create
its own path instead to be a shadow of Aang but that is not true, the connection
with the past lives was part of the great, and after that there still are lots
of the old characters running around, so why? Why hope to see Aang and the rest
of the gang every episode?
My first point was that everybody
loves when a character from the first saga reappears with Korra, I mean people
loved when Katara appeared for a couple of seconds in the first episode, or
memories about Aang things like that, but why, I mean Korra is OK but the love
for the old characters is even bigger, no matter how deep is people into the
series, I mean no one cares for Bolin or Mako to do anything, but when Toph appeared
in one episode everybody was screaming and super exited, so there should be
something there that miss the eye or at least that the creators haven’t
noticed.

On one hand we hand we have Aang his
story and how he became the avatar, well the full fleshed avatar, and on the
other hand we have Korra who at first has to master air bending and face sociopolitical
problems, but why people like more the characters from Aang’s saga than Korra’s?
Don’t bring me that hate that I don’t like Korra because she is a female avatar,
I loved Kioshi and her very direct approach to problems, but there is something
in Korra’s story that doesn’t grab me as much as Aang’s, so let’s see…
Aang had a big problem that solved
through the 3 seasons and problems that solved through each season, and little
adventures for each episode, Korra have a different problem each season and the
repercussions of solving that problems in the next season and also a new
problem, so Korras has her own carryover but different.
Aang had way more episodes than
Korra that’s why there are some episodes that some people don’t like that much,
but even so even a bad episode of Aang was funny and entertain. Korra is a
searis of straight to business, there is no time to fool around because we have
like 12 episodes per season and there is a new quest every season so we need to
know the new evil the new problems and the new characters and their backstory and
then deal with the problems get an strategy and fix them in those 12 episodes,
straight forward.
So I saw what happened there. With
Aang we had time to learn about every character, because we had a ton of time
to spend with them, not only on the quest but also on the vacations, we saw
Aang swimming, dancing and fooling around, we had a whole episode to present
Toph and how her family look at her, we saw Sokka grow into a great warrior,
Katara turned into a great water bender, how Aang learned 3 of the elements and
run around the world, and so on, but with Korra they had to squeeze the
backstory of the characters in the same episodes with the plot and when they
are introduced. In other words with Aang we had time to fall in love with the
characters, and when they appear with Korra we remember that, even in a subconscious
level and that is why we love to see what happened to them, because we care for
them, for all the time we spend with them.
So, as I see it, is not that Aang is
better than Korra, is just that Aang ended being a fully grown character and
Korra has still a long way to walk to have full grown characters.
