Aside from that, make the Equalists a longer term enemy
Apparently, the original idea for the setting of Avatar was space in the future.
I'd like to see *that*. Roll a d4 to see which nation the Avatar of that setting would be.
Or shit, actually make it an earthbender, because they're the next on the list, but take away his comfort zone, which would be actual ground, and see where that takes you.
Write literally nothing
just leave it as is
First off, rushing it to the industrial age was a big mistake.
Otherwise, I want an Avatar who is the main antagonist. Main characters have to stop him.
A sandbender back when the Great Library was above ground and the oasis was lush.
biggest thing i'd do to fix the series is have it that as Korra got older, she began to work on undoing the damage to the avatar cycle, and slowly began to bring back some of the past avatars, but she died before she could fix it.
so this series one of the main plot points would be the new avatar finishing what she started in bringing it back, so there's an quest in that regard, it wouldn't be the focal point but it'd be an element i'd add in, to help eliveate some of the damage done by that rash decision in season 2.
i love how they brought up this huge issue with benders vs non benders in the first season but the instant amon died it was like all of that suddenly didnt matter. and then we spend 3 seasons watching benders oppress people. season one was my favorite season just based on its concept and the use of early 20th century aspects but they fucked it all up after that( dont even get me started on the fucking giant laser beam shooting mech monsters.)
also im not saying season one was my favorite from a story perspective becuase the love triangle was obvious shit but the stuff like the street gangs, industrial revolution aesthetic, amon and his freedom fighters, and other modern aspects i found to be nice
don't
i just don't
okay maybe this idea
Anyway that lets you ignore Korra ever happened.
I wouldn't.
Let it die already.
Technology in the world has advanced to modern times and bending has been homogenized into a single form for all elements. The Avatar must relearn the classic styles of bending to save the world from Water bending pirates who use the old ways waterbending to make an unstoppable naval force.
The Avatar is an Earth Kingdom stunt actor for a movie about a previous avatar who realizes he can earthbend and airbend. He's basically Jackie Chan when he starts out, unsure of himself and wanting to be an actor to try and become the savior people want him to be, but doesn't think he can achieve.
The series would end with a world ending calamity occurring and the Avatar uses his power to save the people, but the technology is lost, paving the way to a renewed unity with nature.
50 years after Korra's death, technology and overtaken the world and it's the first Space Launch to the moon. Astronaut team of Earth, Water and Airbenders are on board. Smooth ride all the way too the moon with no complications. Turns out some of the astronauts are part of a group Spiritists that aims to bring balance back to the world by bending the Moon into the earth in hopes of another event similar to Harmonic Convergence. Progress is ultimately slow for the Spiritists but it's up to the new Earthbending Avatar Yamada to work with the NASA. After three days, nothing could be done and as the moon is about to crash into the earth but it has shown that earth and water bending has been amplified. Even those who were not able to bend were able to, Yue the Moon Spirit awakens within the Avatar and sends Yamada back in time to 3 days ago, the moment when the Spiritists started bending the Moon.
After many resets, Yamada realizes the endeavor is completely pointless. It's impossible for the her to stop the Spiritists from crashing the moon and she can't stop time looping. In her apathy she travels to Wulong Forest to see the aftermath of Ozai and Aang's battle. There she finds Sokka's space sword thought to have been lost forever. She senses that there's a massive amount of spirit energy within the sword which must've been absorbed during the conclusion of the 100 year war. She returns to NASA and just as the Moon is about come in contact with the earth. Yamada readies Sokka's Sword, slices the moon in half and kills Yue. The sky turns gray but then the newly sliced moon turns into spirit dust and spreads its lifeforce to everyone.
Aang had a character arc. Korra didn't but now Yamada does realizing that Sokka was definitely a good character.
Two Earthbender children of different social classes grow up together as friends, but after several years the two are separated when it is revealed that the wealthier of the two is the Avatar. However, this is a farce created by the child's parents to boost their own social image; it is actually the poorer child who is the Avatar.
Alternatively, or perhaps concurrently,
A non-bender makes their way across the various settlements of the world in a brazen and possibly futile attempt to learn the art of bending in an effort to become the Avatar on their own.
deleting korra from canon. that's all
two avatars might be cool
Someone makes a spirit vine bomb and nukes the planet. The spirits forced humans to an authoritarian regime. Everyone in LoK was demonized (the heroes and villains). The bullshit about Raava and the first avatar never gets mentioned and ignored. The rebel benders have a philosophy that is antithetical to their previous incarnation. The Avatar is born in the clean peaceful Spirit States but joins the rebels and has to learn the bending antithesis. He closes all the spirit portals after convincing all the spirits that spirituality is meaningless if it forced into people. Everybody has to relearn bending via the "first benders" rather the Lion turtle bullshit. Basically, fuck Book 2 of LoK.
Even farther into the future where bending has become a lost art.
That's basically the plot of the story they did about Kyoshi.

Huh, I didn't even know they made a prose book. I thought they were content with the graphic novels. A shame I can't feasibly sue, though. I could use the settlement money.
In any case, I think I had a similar-yet-over-detailed write-up of this idea I posted some time ago in a different thread. Lemme check and see if it's any different.
Also, I should at least be glad they haven't gone with my second idea. I dunno how that would last as a series.
ayyy, i found it. Straight Outta May 2017:
>The basic rundown is that after Korra's death, a new Avatar is sought in the Earth Kingdom to take her place. A child is found, but it is a farce; the parents of the child are wealthy and wish to see their legacy become immortalized by holding parentage to the Avatar, using their money and connections to influence other benders into coordinating and faking the child's feats of strength. The child itself is a non-bender, but grows up assuming that everything they've done has been of their own energy and spirit. Meanwhile, the true Avatar, having not ever been discovered, ends up going through life convinced that they are a non-bender; the false Avatar's parents were thorough and covered up the child's existence and powers, to the point that the true Avatar has been convinced that they are a non-bender. Naturally, all of this comes to a twist when the true Avatar's powers awaken, leading to the two Avatars (True and False) to question their roles in the world.
>My other idea involves a non-bender from outside the Earth Kingdom who was inspired by the legends of Aang, Korra (somehow), and others to venture forth into the world and learn the art of bending, despite having no actual spiritual connection of their own. Hilarity and shenanigans ensue, of course.
>I question if it's possible for these two ideas to be combined. My current thought is that the non-bender may end up becoming part of the reason the two Avatars learn their separate truths, in that the non-bender would attempt to bend, fuck shit up, and cause something within the true Avatar to awaken and save the day. Or something like that.
Also, from a follow-up post:
>I feel like the best way to continue the Avatar series is to completely flip around who the Avatar actually is, not simply how they act compared to what others expect. Aang was a reluctant Avatar who learned to harness his powers for good despite his fears of becoming a monster. Korra was a headstrong and prideful Avatar who learned (or was supposed to learn, at least) humility and temperance rather than diving right into the battle. When you have these two extremes, there's no real way to take an Avatar other than to flip around their actual origin.
>Hence why I have my two different ideas: A non-bender who wants to become the Avatar, and a false Avatar who doesn't realize they are a phony.
The latter idea is kino
>how would you write the next avatar series?
Axel Braun porn parody
A prequel series focusing on the 100 year period during Aangs disappearence and reappearance. The main character should be a messenger sent by the Air Benders to warn the other tribes about the upcoming genocide by the Fire Nation (MC doesn't necessarily have to be an Air Bender). Should focus on how the Fire Nation seized power and include a Downfall-style story on the politics and collapse of the Air Nomads. Of course the MC would get up to different shenanigans as he travels throughout the world, but it would largely be about loss and how a peoples spirit can be broken. The series would end either the MC dying or him sitting in a tavern hearing of the return of the Avatar.
Korra lives to be 100. The new Avatar is someone in a cyberpunk dystopian setting. Tension between normies, benders, and augmented people who have bender-like powers through technology. Avatar is an Earthbender, though he has no idea he’s the Avatar. He founds out after a group of airbenders—who are an underground resistance group at this point—reveal the truth to him. His father, however, is one of the chief architects of the augmentation program. The Avatar now has to choose his destiny.

fire nation because fire would be useless in space and it would be funny.
a series set 8 months after ATLA that completely overrides the comics.
The comics are more offensive to me than Korra.
I wouldn't. I like it when stories end and exist as their own specific thing and hate how everything has to become a franchise these days.
Inspiration from Majora's Mask? I like it.
I've presented an idea of this before.
So... we skip the Earth Bender completely.
Because I want this to be in this weird modern eternal 90 into 00s style world now.
Where the would be Fire Bender Avatar is some edgy teenager that's not even a very good fire bender.
I want some kid with a bad haircut, a leather jacket, and wears a Sozin was Right t-shirt. Of course, the whole war is now more then two generations separated from him, maybe more depending on how long Korra lived for and his direct predecessor.
The idea is we take a terrible character, and get this, he actually improves as the story goes by. ACTUAL GROWTH! What a concept!
set it either in the far off past or far off future, basically far enough removed from the original show to not to stomp on it's legacy.
>rushing it to the industrial age was a big mistake.
Yep. They should've made it 500 years in the future or whatever if they want that setting so much.
>Otherwise, I want an Avatar who is the main antagonist. Main characters have to stop him.
This.
But I wonder how it'd be handled. Would the Avatar be a force to be reckon with from the start, like Amon, the Fire nation and etc. Or would he be an individual against the status quo that slowly becomes a threat?
