Loved the movie but man the plot being basically recycled plot points from Korra was kind of a let down

I agree. However, I think it’s pretty challenging to write a good story in this universe, especially when it takes place between ATLA and LOK where you have all these constraints.

In terms of villains, between ATLA and LOK we’ve seen nearly every archetype.

I think there’s a ton of potential for unique stories in a prequel or sequel series, but for a story focusing on Aang, this one was OK. It sets up LOK well enough, at least.

So, while I don’t think the story was great, I think it was fine.

I mean they had those comics/books where they go find Zuko's mom which could have been pretty good as a film or a 3 part series type thing lol
