>>89877008>superior Fire Nation TechnologyThat was outmatched by a balding man, his crippled son, and a couple of other hippies
>Oversaw the industrial revolution that was the backbone of all the cool shit that was available in LoK.No, he merely started a war economy. Most of the revolution would have happened under Zuko's rule.
>Look at all of the empowered women he employs; he's egalitarian as fuck.Three empowered women, one of whom is his daughter. The rest were either cannon fodder grunts or his daughter's friends.
> Brought down Ba Sing Say, an Orwellian city that was a nightmare of people who lived in it.That was the dai lee technically, and he promptly put it back under control of his fire nation and the people who made it an orwellian nightmare.
>Seriously, remember that one episode where Aang ripped off Footloose? The public education the children of the Fire Nation received was unlike anything that was available in any other part of the world.They made macaroni pictures and told a false history about how a bunch of bald, cake eating, animal loving monks had an organised military.
>He fought to secure the existence of his people and a future for fire-bender children.By murdering everyone else. Also, he tried to kill half of his own fire bender children. Multiple times. He either failed or got dissuaded each time.
>>89877124Also this. Guy raised a monster, got the crap kicked out of him by his 'worthless son' when he attempted to execute him, and only survived because Zuko AND Aang were merciful.
>>89877175This pretty much. Korra is disappointing because Aang sets a high standard; he actually masters all four elements, and utilises each of them in interesting ways. He's used rocks as armor, fireballs to knock down airships, water to cushion his landings, and air to be a general untouchable madman.
Korra's more of a kick, punch, kick fighter, which is a bit shit when someone has something to restrain you with.
