After rewatching the original and seeing some critique of Korra, I thought I'd approach some thoughts on how'd you do the sequel
>Instead of early 20th Century, let's take a step back. Avatar was pretty ancient in terms of tech, but we can look at how industrialism changes a world with greater focus.
>The White Lotus never seemed to be a permanent, standing organization or at least not in the open. Instead, it's continued to be left up to the individual Nation, this time being the water nation to take care of the Avatar.
>Korra is especially gifted, learning Waterbending at age 10(Aang was considered a prodigy learning airbending at 12). She's good at Earth-bending, but struggles with Fire and cannot even use Airbending.
>Tenzin has been arguing with the powerful, industrialized Earth Nation over the former Air Nation Temples which have been appropriated by the Earth Nation. Even those near the Fire Nation are their property, using them as bases to watch over the Fire Nation who's been heavily managed in the 80 years since the last war.
>Korra wants to fix the issue of Water Tribe members going to Earth Nation cities to take part in the wealth there. the Water Tribe is still living how they did in A:TLA and that's slightly embarrassing to the younger generation
>Tenzin shows up, without his family this time to teach her airbending. Korra agrees, going to Balance City, an entirely new City created by a mixture of immigrants and factories. Korra tries to get airbending, but just can't, and feels like a failure. This is made worse when she completely fails to appeal to the Water Tribe members to go back home.
>Enter pro-bending!
>Pro-bending is a way for Korra to appeal to the people as a celebrity. She joins up with Mako and Bolin, the only team so desperate they take on a complete rookie in the mid season.
