This might be the best way to word how I feel about the 2 previous shows.
ATLA has a better floor but the way I connected to Korra as an older fan (i watched it very late) gave it higher ceilings.
The AANG movie and 7 havens still need to settle before I rank them
the legend of korra had an infinitely deeper, more profound impact on me than ATLA ever did and i’m tired of pretending it didn’t just because fandom culture dictates i “should” see it as an inferior show. maybe it’s less consistently good, but artistically it speaks to me more…
