Avatar: The Last Airbender's addition to Netflix has reignited a debate over sequel series The Legend of Korra

Indiewire

The backlash has gotten so heated over the past week that Netflix's "home to all things geek" Twitter account got involved and defended Korra. According to Zack Sharf, the Korra "backlash started ramping up on social media in the aftermath of Avatar’s Netflix debut, so much so that new essays were published over the last week defending Korra and urging viewers to give it a second chance. Netflix first got involved in the social media debate by responding to one fan who posted artwork of the original Avatar characters grown up. The fan caption read: 'Imagine an alternate universe where four seasons of this dropped instead of Korra. Yeah, I’d wanna live there. The post leaned into backlash claiming the sequel series should’ve continued Aang’s story and not focused on a new character." ALSO: It's okay to discuss what makes The Legend of Korra a mixed bag.
