Avatar Kyoshi was the next in line after Avatar Kuruk Kyoshi ruled for over 200 years, which created long-term stability after defeating chin the conqueror but also allowed certain political systems to become rigid and corrupt. She used fear and overwhelming force to maintain order. That kept peace during her lifetime, but some nations learned to obey power rather than develop true balance. The isolationist policies (focusing on protecting your own land and people) she encouraged in some regions contributed to separation between nations. Most importantly, she failed to fully eliminate the ambitions and ideology of Chin the Conqueror-style expansionism and authoritarian rule. By Roku's era, the Fire Nation had become extremely powerful, Roku inherited a world that looked peaceful on the surface, while dangerous ambitions were quietly growing underneath. Eventually leading to Fire Lord Sozin beginning the Hundred Year War after Roku's death. Kyoshi also created the Dai Li to protect cultural heritage in Ba Sing Se. In the long run, that became one of the most corrupt and manipulative organizations in the franchise, causing major problems for both Roku's and Aang's eras.
Anyone else still confused about why Korra cried, I've seen lots of different meanings but can't tell which is right
this is where I see the mary sue complaint now whole season she was getting washed but suddenly she can airbend after having her bending taken away and can negate Amon's bloodbending with no waterbending but Aang couldnt negate Yakone, who was significantly weaker than Amon
Another example of korras story meddling with established things in ATLA. its clear the arrow was meant to reflect the sky bisons it wasnt meant to be something that evolved that way over time. I hate how the new stuff is so bound to korras BS
Bending 3 elements straight out the gate is when I knew we were in for a peak avatar
