The original series almost gets a pass for being pure fantasy. But then Legend of Korra came out and confirmed basically every suspicion people had about the writers’ condescending attitude towards others, especially Asian cultures.
If you watch The Dragon Prince you’ll realize that Ehasz wasn’t the key either. I don’t know what happened to make ATLA good despite its flaws, at this point I think it was pure luck. It was good despite everyone involved being shit lol
Yeah, it’s kind of mindblowing that their solution to colonialism is just “it happened in the past, let’s let bygones be bygones and not return the territory to its original owners and let everyone just “live in peace.””

as i understand it LoK wasn’t the same writing team, or at least did not include most of the people who worked on the original show
Showrunners were the same at least.

They honestly think modernization=become like the usa. They literally made the people opposed to a settler state the villians.
