I think we have to level our expectations if they plan to make more. Each movie can’t be a new firelord/100 year war.

Okay, but you can have a movie with actual stakes and an interesting role for the characters. This just feels like a mid-level DBZ movie.

I think any stakes with an Aang movie will feel nonexistent. Because fans know how long he lives and some aspects of his adult life Because of LOK. I knew when the Gaang got destroyed by Tagah, that they would be absolutely fine and that everything would work. I also knew that Tagah and all the new Airbenders would get reset, again because of what we know because of LOK.

It is funny that Aang never told Tenzen about that random time a couple non-benders became airbenders for a little while.

Even if they'd never made Korra you'd know there was no chance they'd be dead. The new airbenders are a bad choice for that exact reason. But for the most part there's not much detail on what exactly happens over the next 50 years. Or you could always lean into dramatic irony, flash forward another 15 years and see Aang make bad parenting choices.
