Legend of Korra? Or ATLA Netflix? I am kinda confused.

    There are a number of graphic novels that continue the story, so you can kinda watch the gaang grow up. The first series, I believe, is called The Search, and it’s about finding Zuko’s mom. There are also a ton of spinoff novels about the other avatars if you want more lore.

      Search is the second one. Pretty good. The first set of graphic novels is the Promise if I remember correctly. It picks up right after the kiss. Not to get political, but there are aspects of it that resemble the Israel and Palestinian conflict and may give you some thought provoking ideas. I’m just clarifying because I didnt want you going into the comics reading the first dozens of pages and realizing that Zuko’s mom’s story isn’t there.

        Not that I know of, I’ve only seen it in book form. But there are some people who quasi-animate it on Youtube while “reviewing” it.

    There isn’t an animated continuation of Aang’s story. The only other animated series in the Avatar universe is Korra, the avatar that follows Aang.

    Korra takes the story through some very controversial changes, and production was frought with difficulties thanks to Nickelodeon constantly changing their minds on what they wanted. Season two is widely seen as the worst in the series by some distance, but season 3 redeemed it somewhat.

    It’s worth a watch for sure, just don’t expect it to live up to the magic of the original.

        Was that 2? Those episodes was great! Rest of 2 not so much. Animation suffered, too, since they switched studios Midway that season.

    Korra is great, it had some issues from Nickeoldean that reduced its success. Basically they had no idea if there was going to be a season 2 or 3, so it was written that way. 3 and 4 are more connected.

    There are 3 books series, each about Kyoshi, Yangchen and Roku (released in that order). Good books.

    There are a lot of graphic novels for both Aang and Korra. I know they are free on webtoon and Hoopla (many libraries offer free acess to hoopla). (Webtoon doesn’t have all of them yet, they’ve been regularly posting in the past year)


    Netflix ATLA is a live acation remake made by different people. General option is meh, not as bad as the movie.

    The movie is probably the worst movie released by a major studio, even by today’s Netflix series wrecking standards.

    I don’t get the controversy around Korra. I thought it was brilliant. I assume it’s because people wanted more of the Aang Gaang and it was something different (and maybe a little bit because it was a girl this time).

      Nickelodeon shenanigans and a deus ex machina ending to the first season.

    Someone answered already, but you can check out Korra next. I haven’t personally watched it, and it seems to be a subject of contention in the fandom.

    Netflix’s live action series is a watered down remake of the animated ATLA. It was… Fine?

    What did you think of ATLA?

      It was so awesome loved every second of it after a very long time I have consumed a media which is not Anime.

    The Owl House /s

    You could do TLOK, but I’d say it’s less a continuation of ATLA, but more like it’s own thing.

    I really liked Legend of Korra, personally. Not as much as ATLA, mind you.

    Like others said, the story isn’t really a continuation of ATLA, it just occurs in the same universe. You do see a little bit of how the characters from ATLA few up and their own offspring, but it’s not really the focus.

    It reminds me a little of Kevin Smith movies. They all happen in the same world, but they’re all their own thing.

    One thing I didn’t like about Korra was that each season seemed kind of self-contained. ATLA had a better defined arc between the seasons in the whole series. I think they did that in case they got cancelled and they didn’t want to end on a cliffhanger, so I can appreciate that.

    I liked exploring the focus of a more mature avatar growing into her role.

    I’ve never watched the live action series, though. I’m a little hesitant after seeing the movie…

    Personally, I would watch Korra first then get into the live action series, simply due to the fact that watching the same story twice in a row seems like a bit of a drag.

      Google can’t answer practically anything anymore. The main service hasn’t been an effective search engine since the pandemic.

          I had searched it but I just want to confirm that Legend of Korra is really next in series or not. Because It just jumped from defeating Fire Lord Ozai to Next Avatar nothing in b/w.

          Congrats on still having an ad blocker, and proving Google didn’t answer anything, reddit did.

      Google’s not reliable. I don’t see the problem with asking. I like this post more than most posts here.
