How would you fix The Legend of Korra?
>>81294026
her feet, my face.
>>81294026
Have the first season be the entire series. Amon trades his entire life for power from some spirit creature and leads a selfish but righteous war across the world.
>>81294026
Less clothes on Korra.
At all times.
>>81294026
Gender-bend the main characters.
>>81294026
1. No love triangle
2. Better start to season 2
3. More Fire Nation4. More seasons
Hire more writters cause thats there fucking job
no love triangle
Hire somebody that can fucking pace episodes well cause its fucking disgusting.
> "We need to get on this boat tonight"
>literally 3 seconds later they are boarding the boat.
>no build up no nothing
Don't make Kuvira just turn into generic evil character. Have her doing the right thing like how she started the first few episodes
>>81294026
Remove Korra and make Bolin the Avatar
more fanservice
In fact, forget the rest of the show, just make it all fanservice.
>Characters
IMO the biggest problem in LoK are the characters.
Korra herself is fine. I like that she is pretty much the opposite of Aang. Her brash personality works well in the context of the story where she needs to connect with her spirituality, learn Airbending and solve a conflict that requires a diplomatic solution instead of just punching things.
It provides for a great character development that unfortunately never comes.
The supporting characters mostly suck though.
Mako is the most bland, boring character ever conceived. He needs to be given ANY sort of personality. Seriously, give him anything.
Similarly with Asami. She has nothing going on for her. Maybe make her a Equalist spy like they originally wanted to.
Bolin need to be less stupid and useless. Remember how in ATLA Sokka was the comic relief but also a person who contributed to the Gaang by being smart and tactical? Give Bolin some purpose instead of just being the butt of the joke. He is friendly and outgoing. Make him the "face", make him the guy who knows everybody and is street smart.
Tenzin and Lin are actually interesting and fun to watch. Focus more on them.
Any screen time Tenzin's kid has needs to be siginificantly reduced, they are all annoying as shit, especially the bald one.
Korra is now male character.
Keep love triangle.
>>81294515
Also make Bumi more badass. At first I thought he would be the successor to Sokka as the badass normal who comes up with gutsy and clever plans and can actually fight. Making him an airbender was bullshit.
>>81294026
It was all Sokka's fanfiction.
>>81294253
the Kuvira point sums up my problem with the series. They set up good villains with real motives and plans that make sense, but every season ends with the villain suddenly abandoning every bit of characterization they'd built to become a mustache twirling strawman for Korra to punch and everything just fixes itself after.
Slave Korra.
>>81294515
>She has nothing going on for her. Maybe make her a Equalist spy like they originally wanted to
If she's to be part of the Gaang, I think it would be better to make her an equalist sympathizer.
She could fight against Amon's means, but still work for the good of nonbenders. It would make a good contrast between her and her father.
>>81294026
It'd be a process but I know exactly where I'd start.
Needed more fight club Korra
She needed to get back to basics of CQC. After relying heavily on bending and getting it taken away, she should have actually trained and learned new things.
>>81294026
>Merge Amon and Zaheer, give him three seasons
>Remove Kuvira, end the series hinting at the reconstruction that will have to occur in the ruined Earth Kingdom
Amon is now a non-bender for most of his arc that can genuinely remove bending through some sort of spiritual blessing for having Zaheer's spiritual experience. Spirit portals are only briefly opened, closed by the end of the whatever the fuck event caused that again.
Amon gains airbending, as do pockets of his followers, and he has to struggle with using his newfound abilities to further spread his message forcefully but be viewed a hypocrite.
He only uses his airbending for the assassination of the Earth Queen.
No flying bullshit.
By Season 3, crusade against bending has grown too large to remain under his control due to airbenders popping up out of nowhere from the spirit portals briefly being open. His movement is being torn apart by infighting.
Korra still lost her bending in Season 1 and never got it back.
The season finale is four episodes. Amon's movement is set to fall like a house of cards, team Avatar goes in to deal the finishing blow.
Korra, Bolin, Mako, and Amon duke it out.
Amon and Bolin die (Bolin pins Amon and has Mako lightningbend them both), Mako and Korra are seriously wounded as Korra was in Season 3.
Equalist movement is torn apart by infighting, forming the factions that spawn Kuvira's movement in the Earth Kingdom
>>81294515
>Bolin
There should have been more moments where he could have used his street smarts.
Whenever they are in republic city he knows people
Whenever they are something else he connects fast to people worth knowing
>>81294515
cont.
>The love triangle
Remove the fucking love triangle. It was the worst thing ever and dragged the entire season down.
If you want the characters to form relationship do it much later. We need to see them actually become friends before all this bullshit.
Have them hang out together, have fun together etc.. Not constantly arguing. We need to see they actually LIKE each other.
They did it the best when Korra and Bolin went out in that one episode. They had fun. Do it like this but with the whole crew.
>Setting
Republic City is a great setting IMO. It it a nice change from what we got used to in ATLA and it has tons of personality.
However, it is not utilised enough. Why? Because of the fucking pro-bending.
Get rid of the pro-bending. Just cut it out. It's the most boring shit ever and we spent half the season on it. The Avatar's main motivation in the first half of the season is to win a fucking pro-bending tournament. That's just terrible.
Focus on the mob and triads instead. You can have Korra Bolin and Mako and fight the mob vigilante style. That provides better utilisation of RC (instead of being stuck in an arena), them hanging out as friends as I mentioned earlier, better motivation for Korra and maybe some fun encounters with Lin.
>>81294026
The same way you fix any other show.
With good writing.
End it after the first season
Make amon overall villain. He was arguably the best one they had and was wasted with that shitty explanation and ending.
>>81295009
What more than this? The anon has it right.
The actual elements of the story need not change as much as how they were presented.
>>81294026
More episodes per season.
Less bullshit per season.
More situations/plot lines for Korra to learn from, develop her character or generally display badassery. Also to dilute the amount of jobbing she does.
Suyin's husband should have died in the escape, preferably on their son's orders, as a slap in the face to Suyin. She doesn't forgive him, realizes Lin shouldn't have forgiven her.
Tenzin should have died defending airbenders from Zaheer. As great as he was, that would have elevated season 3 finale to god-tier.
Make Asami an antagonist (not necessarily a villain).
Keep Equalists around after Amon, under his lieutenant guy, but again, as on and off antagonists / allies to Korra, in keeping with the more greyish tones to LOK compared to the more black-and-white TLA. They can help each other take down dangerous benders, while keeping a voice for nonbenders.
Also no lesbian ending.Bolin is the only one for Korra.
Remove season 2 god everything was boring except for the first avatar storytelling. Make season 1 last longer, the plot was good and the ending wasn't that great. Change season 4 as well, Kuvira wasn't a good final villain.
>>81294952
>Story
Let me just say that I really like Amon. He is intriguing, charismatic, menacing and fights for interesting cause. The scenes where he takes bending away from people are really well made and have weight to them.
He is just a great villain all around.
Many people thought that his reveal as a bloodbender was terrible. I don't have much issue with it though it's true that his powers being spiritual would be better especially after all that build-up.
The Equalist movement is a very intersting concept. The whole bender vs. non-bender thing is something that was never explored in ATLA and gives us villains who aren't simply evil but fall into a morally grey area. As I said earlier it provides great opportunity for Korra's character development where she as the Avatar must find a compromise and bring people together instead of just punching things.
But we are never actually shown this non-bender oppression. It's honestly kinda bizzare. We actually see the opposite. Bolin and Mako are great benders but are also street rats who live at a gym and work crappy jobs. Meanwhile Hiroshi Sato is a non-bender and literally wealthiest person in RC.
They should've shown us the injustice happening against non-benders. It never seems like there are actual problems within the community.
>>81294515
>>81294952
>>81295502
>The Ending
The ending of the first season is simply stupid.
Korra randomly unlocking airbending by punching the air, the Equalist movement disappearing instantly when Amon is revealed as a fraud, Aang just giving Korra her bending back... it's all wrong.
Here is what I would've done.
>Korra loses her bending earlier in the season
>lives as a non-bender
>gains new perspective about the whole issue
>sees the injustice non-benders experience
>acts as a mediator between less radical equalists and the council
>actually comes up with a compromise at the end so everyone is happy
meanwhile
>she trains hard to unlock airbending since she lost the use of other elements
>actually listens to Tenzin, learns patience
>connects with her spirituality
>learns airbending by hard work it's not just randomly given to her
>at the end
>faces Amon
>surprises him with airbending actually earning her victory instead of just luckily punching him through a window
>Equalists back her up because she helped them out
>travels to northern water tribe to see her spiritual uncle to help her gain her lost bending back
>this concludes the season and sets up season 2
Triple her breast size.
No canon yuri
Anyone have that gif of her twerking
Easiest change with the biggest impact would be remove the last scene and spend the time on showing us how Korra will help rebuild RC/EK.
>>81294026
Take a time machine into the late 1990's to early 2000's before SJW tumbler consumer threat culture happened.
If we're going for as few changes as possible:
Book 1:
>Korra loses her bending a few episodes earlier
>Learns that her powers don't define her
>Fights Amon in front of all of his followers using the low-power, high-evasiveness movements of Airbending
>Does well enough that Amon is forced to used his bloodbending in front of everyone
>Rest of season is the same
Book 2:
>Show Korra asking previous Avatars for advice a lot, so that it actually matters when she loses then
>After Unavaatu steals Raava from Korra, Korra realizes that the previous Avatars were wrong about Vaatu, and that the solution isn't to try and purge him, but to have him and Raava live together in balance
>Korra becomes the first truly balanced Avatar
Book 3:
>No changes
Book 4:
This one is really complicated, so I'm not sure how to fix it. But one opportunity I saw was that since all of Kuvira's villainy was off-screen and told to us by Suyin's family (who were the only people who visibly stood to lose from re-unification), maybe have Kuvira not be the villain at all. Have Korra make a point of questioning what everyone else accepted, and realizing that Su was the actual bad guy.
>>81295907
The most correct answer in this thread.
>>81296566
>and that the solution isn't to try and purge him, but to have him and Raava live together in balance
>Korra becomes the first truly balanced Avatar
Yes for all the balance talk the acting was incredilby one sided. Even if the side was "good"
Better animation, especially for season 2.
>>81294661
>Sokka's fanfiction
>Sokka doesn't play a role beyond a flashback cameo
Pick one.
Also, what did he paint /co/?
Get rid of harmonic convergence, hundreds of Ty-Lee level chi blockers, Miyazaki spirits as opposed to the style we see in TLA, Airbenders for no reason, dark Avatar, make Korra learn from her past mistakes like not believing every evil dictator, everything about the Red Lotus besides Ghazan.
Pretty much just hire competent writers and have good stories.
>>81294026
Remove Korea and make bolin the MC
Or just burn this show till its forgotten

Korea kek
>>81296907
Don't you mean remove kimchi?
Remove everything that happens in season 2.
Stretch Amon's story over two seasons, with the Red Lotus making an early appearence in the plot in the second. With the Red Lotus already introduced we can get right into the action of them being the main villains from the very first ep of season 3. Have them not be entirely defeated at the end of season 3, and still ge around to "help" Kuvira, while planning to overthrow her. This way, Amon and Zaheer, the only two good villains and great rivals for Korra can have a lot more presence and development, Amon can get a much cooler final battle and death, and Zaheer can be the final boss instead of just having the anti-climax with Kuvira that we got.
Also, scrap Mako X Korra being a thing at all, and give SOME hint that Korra and Asami were going to get together at the end, instead of it coming out of fucking NOWHERE.
>>81294026
Reorder and tweak the seasons a bit.
Season 1 is Korra leaving the compound for the first time to attend the SWT festival, meeting the members of the Krew, fighting the dark spirits, and then the whole thing with the civil war and Unalaq and learning about the first avatar. This keeps the whole first season focused on mostly one location and one story, and the whole arc of Korra learning about the origins of the avatar and eventually losing her connection to the past avatars sets up an emotional through line for the rest of the series.
Season 2 is Red Lotus, minimal changes there. In this continuity Korra hasn't learned airbending yet which makes Zaheer an even greater threat and gives her a stronger motivation for wanting to see the Air Nation rebuilt. When she suffers her injuries at the end this comes back to feed into her depression at the end - knowing she may never be physically able to master airbending and that the new Air Nation is potentially a replacement instead of an ally.
Season 3 is Kuvira and the Earth Empire and Korra recovering from her physical, mental, and spiritual injuries. Shorten the time skip to maybe one year. Ends with Korra finally beginning her formal airbending training and teasers about the rise of The Equalists.
>>81297196
Season 4 is Amon and the Equalists - their popularity and rise to power makes a lot more sense in this continuity, instead of appearing as a response to a war that was seven decades ago, they're a response to three major crises in the last five years, all caused by powerful benders. This gives their side of the argument a lot more credit. This continuity also fixes some of the bigger problems and near-misses with the original continuity. Hiroshi and Tarrlok aren't just people we've met this season - we've gotten to know them for 2-3 seasons now, we've seen them rally to support the Avatar and help defend Republic City. This makes Hiroshi's reveal as an Equalist more of a shock, it makes Asami choosing between her father and a friend she's known for 5 years (instead of 5 days) more of a moral dilemma, and makes Tarrlok's corruption and reveal as a bloodbender more interesting and surprising.
Most importantly, as I said before, this change to the ordering sets up a better character arc and emotional though line for Korra's final season.
Korra's fear of Amon is more justified, he's not just threatening to destroy her identity as the Avatar, but undo everything she's worked and suffered for the last five years - the abilities and physical and emotional strength she struggled to regain, the new Air Nation she risked her life to save, the free Earth Republic she helped establish, and the city she's come to call her new home.
Korra learning to airbend in the final act, feels justified.
Korra losing her abilities after everything she's struggled for feels
Korra breaking down at the cliff and making the choice to keep struggling on instead of giving up is powerful
Korra overcoming her spiritual block and reconnecting with Aang and the other Avatars feels cathartic
Korra getting her bending back and unlocking the Avatar State feels EARNED
>>81297204
*struggled for feels tragic
Extend Amons arc for two seasons.
Remove shipping and love triangles
Remove her bending
Make her work to reobtain it.
>>81294026
here are some mistakes in pic related. To fix them is not that hard.
>>81295754
I really like this ending. Seeing Korra just have the solutions to her problems just fall into her lap was just a clear indicator that the writers had written themselves into a wall. The return to status quo ending was also a huge mistake on the writer's part. Seeing people actually have to deal with losing their bending would've been really interesting.
Get rid of it. Make sure it's never made.
I would spend 30 seconds in the Book 2 finale bullshitting why Korra can turn into a giant spirit version of herself on the other side of the planet.
Also I would tone down how foolish Bolin goofiness and spread the goofiness around to the other characters, most notably Asami.
>>81297405
*how foolish Bolin is and
remove Jinora
and Ikki
and Milo
all of them
>>81294026
Make season one less rushed and let it run into season two, completely ditch season 2 and make the spirit stuff part of the season one concept and let that run. Leave seasons three and four alone because they were actually really great.
>>81294026
Change the female cast to dudes.
Change nothing else.
>>81297196
>>81297204
I don't think it's as simple as reordering things, but it's an interesting starting point for fixing things.
I think you're right that putting Amon's arc last gives things Sato joining the Equalists or Korra finally connecting with Aang a lot more weight.
Also get rid of pro-bending, or at least have it not have such a prominent role in he show. Like maybe introduce it a bit in the first season - maybe Korra meets Asami first and they go to a pro-bending game in the SWT and meet the Fire Ferrets there or something - but that shit ate up a TON of airtime during the Amon arc... which is fine if you've got twenty episodes, not so much if you've only got twelve.
>>81294952
>>81298855

this would have been amazing.
let's be honest, she should have been the true villain.
>>81298927
Pro-Bending is a great idea that was executed and integrated poorly.
It's the podracing of Legend of Korra.
>>81298927

>>81299015
>great idea that was executed and integrated poorly
you can pretty much sum up entire LoK with this sentence
>>81299241
Pretty much, and that's sad.
>>81294026
First of all, for KorraSami to work, it would be better to include Asami early in first season as her best friend.
Like Sherlock/Watson but that would eventually lead to romance. Althouch original series didn't made it forced there was still to little hinting and eotional development for the ship to feel genuine. The love triangle with Bolin and Mako was also shit.
>>81299275
Why would you even need to make Korrasami work? Just cut it out aswell and drop bad romances all together.
Change how Season 2 ended.
>>81294026
Put it on cartoon network. Because Nick ain't shit.
>>81294026
>Make romantic notions an undertoned thing that isn't pivotal to the plot or characters like in Avatar
we got like 1 episode a season that was about love, and even then, Katara and Aang's shit was super downplayed. Episode 2 already has Korra getting right into making her first relationship after being a child kung fu slave for 16 years and not knowing the touch of a man. And the same goes for Bolin and Mako throughout every season always having girl problems. Asami only broke this chain in season 3, but then got shoe-horned back in without real context or development in the finale.
>Compress Pro-bending into just 1 episode
Seriously, its a neat concept, but that shit should have been a well animated 1 episode lore/worldbuilding episode, not fucking half of season 1.
>Make Korra actually have character development from her actions outside "i'm sad because i'm not strong."
The beauty of Avatar was learning from different world views, adapting, and seeing the world in a different light. Aang had to question his morals, the avatars role, and the way the world was. Korra is brash and uncompromising in everything she does and only regrets not winning. Make her see the plight of the non-benders, make her actually develop some sort of connection to spirits outside of "I can connect to spirits now.", make her see the corruption of the governments and military and try and make a change in a creative way instead of just fighting outright.
>Remove Beifong extended family, spirit Iroh, downplay the Air nomad children extensively.
Seriously, the amount of time spent on this small army of side characters is daunting. The children were annoying enough and relevant to the plot, especially after Season 2 but Iroh being a spirit was just a shallow attempt to grasp at the past series glory and characters while the beifong family was just a mary sue group that brought nothing of value but plotholes and convenient locals.
(next post)
When the lion turtles gave some people bending. Instead have them give everybody in the entire world bending.
>>81299742
>Spend more time adventuring in spirit world and dealing with the fusion of 2 worlds than having a haphazard nazi plot that never made sense in the first place
Season 4 was just a mess of problems, and considering that from Avatar to now we've already seen everything from the fire nation to the air temples, to the earth kings, and now from season 2 the extensive culture and locale of the water tribes.
Now visiting and exploring the spirit realm for wrapping up loose ends like Koh, Commander Zhao, that villain from the video game, and stuff some past avatars had done might be a good means of bringing everything full circle.
>Dark Avatar potential
So much wasted. They could have made him and the spirit realm an entire season on its own for adventure and explaining more about the avatar. Seriously, just dedicate an entire season to stopping the dark avatar in the spirit realm, exercising Vatu from his body, and then resealing him in the tree.
>Red lotus backstories
Seriously, considering they had ties to the Unalaq, were what carried S3 so hard, and were genuinely interesting character, they deserved to have an "around the campfire" backstory episode. Without it, these entire organization, actions, and existence is just hollow.
>Explain and experiment with mixed-race bending and elemental fusions
With lavabending being given to Bolin, they missed a lot with getting that shit explained. New art forms, new elements (Fire+Air=Combustion, Water+fire=steam, Fire+Earth=Lava, etc.)
They could have learned that shit from spirits or from people who were old mixed race people who hide from the fire nation or something, anything. So much wasted potential.
What's there to fix on perfection?
The thing about people who don't like the legend of korra is that they are very immature people.

This wouldn't fix every problem with the equalist story, but it would be a major improvement.
>>81303893
>find a way to make unalaq and amon the same villain
What if you combined that concept with the reordering described in >>81297196 >>81297204
Unalaq and Amon being the same villain wouldn't work, per se... but I think most people would agree one of LOK's biggest disadvantages is the lack of a major recurring villain/force throughout the series.
Why not merge the Red Lotus and the Equalists and have Amon fill that role of the central villain? You could do the same thing you did with the Fire Lord in ATLA - for the first few seasons Amon is just this figure in the shadows, maybe we don't even find out his name until the second or third season... but we see little glimpses of The Hooded Man in the shadows - whispering into Unalaq's ears, meeting with Zaheer's crew and giving them their marching orders, maybe even work him into Kuvira's story as a name that keeps coming up among those rebelling against the Earth Empire.
Then we get to season four and the all the dots start getting connected. We see Amon - the figure in the shadows - finally stepping into the light and revealing his true power. We see the Red Lotus/Equalists as a group actively trying to undo the "imbalance" that the Avatar and the White Lotus had created - trying to destroy the alliances forged between the nations, trying to resurrect Vaatu and balance out the Avatar's impact, trying to destroy the Avatar, etc. And now we see Amon's final solution - if The Red Lotus can't introduce something new to balance the equation, they'll take something away.
>>81294026
Have season 1 be 26 episodes.
End it after season 1 as originally planned.
>>81304588
I like your addition, but I feel it should only apply to Kuvira and Red Lotus arc. Maybe a whisper of him in the retelling of Unalaq. Like have someone mention him as financial support, or end the season with a tease of him saying something like "the world is unbalanced".

Make her not a lesbian so I can self insert fap without it being rape
>>81294026
Make both Korra and Asami more overtly homosexual.
>>81294026
No love triangle.
Asami nearly hits Korra with her bike in episode 1 and shows Korra around the city to make it up to her. Asami gets mugged, Korra does her thing, revealing she's the Avatar. Korra lives and trains with Tenzin, but Asami has a new purpose in the series as Korra's friend and foil, the normal, tech-savvy socialite to Korra's all-powerful but sheltered bumpkin. The Equalist matters hit closer to home for Korra since her best friend's a nonbender and gets caught up in the backlash, on top of Hiroshi's betrayal hurting a lot more.
Remove pro-bending, since they never did anything interesting with it. Mako and Bolin are minor criminals that turn their lives around after Korra saves their bacon and join the police force as Lin's students. Replace Mako and Bolin's various love subplots with some noir-style subplots about them learning to be detectives. Bolin is funny, not retarded, but matures and might hook up with Opal later while Mako starts off with a stick up his ass but learns to balance his responsibilities with living a little.
Kuvira and Su are introduced much earlier in the series. Su is less of a shit and Kuvira is a friend and ally of the gang, established as a more worldly Korra. Korra looks up to Kuvira's zeal for helping those who can't help themselves, but this is taken to a dark extreme after the Red Lotus resurfaces and sets up Kuvira needing to be stopped later. The conflict is intensely personal, not Korra vs somebody she met once. Su either dies because of the Red Lotus, contributing to Kuvira going too far, or is much more conflicted about fighting Kuvira.
Nix Unalaq entirely. And most if not all of Season 2.
I'm ambivalent about what to do about Amon, although >>81294786 has some promise. Also on the fence if Vaatu should be removed or be the bigger-scope villain of the series; the Red Lotus might be trying to merge him with Korra to create a new balance in favor of chaos, but that might be too cheesy.
>>81294026
Make her not braindead. Remove romance.

There is so much wrong with the show you'd pretty much have to toss everything out the window and start over if you absolutely don't want to keep anything broken. That's not really fixing anything, though.
I guess what I'm getting at is, you can't fix this show. "Fixing" it would involve changing so much shit it wouldn't even be close to the same thing anymore.

Less, tighter clothing.
Cancel it after the first season so we still have the porn and only a little disappointment, not a massive turd.

The most frustrating part about this is that before he magically becomes an airbender, he's exactly what you described. He blunders his way into success instead of thinking his way into it, but he still did it. After he becomes a bender he kind of just fades into the background.

Jesus this is brilliant. Why didn't Bryak just come to /co/?

Give lin a lover she deserves

>Implying Korra wasn't Sokka's female self insert.
Biggest thing I would do is make it so nothing happens in Republic City because it is an awful awful setting
Lin, Bolin and Fire Bud Bundy are now all military

Kill korra
Have we not had this thread enough? The series ended two years ago.
The Equalist story isn't all that great by itself. It's just X-men and the mutant thing but even a more neutered version of that. The world has the "mutants" powers being used in tasks such as construction and power generation and healing. Not only that but most of the mutants couldn't hide their powers in the same way as benders could hide their element use.

>Step one: Don't make it. Kek.
But seriously
Book 1
>No love triangle
>Make Korra not convince Mako to cheat on Asami
>NO MEELO. He can exist, but have a different character design, no annoying atitude and no fartbending. Keep Pabu, Bolin and Naga the kid-appeal characters.
>Keep Amon's background, but make him a non-bender and have Tarlokk be the cruel older bloodbender. After Noatok runs off, he is adopted by another family and they're killed by Firebenders. Some Spirit sees this and turns him into Amon, the defender of Non-Benders and the antithesis to the Avatar.
>Don't make Amon target the Airbenders.
>Have Amon and Korra team-up in later seasons.
Book 2
>Explain why it's bad for the Water Tribes to unite.
>Make Korra less of a thug (If you take their lives, I'LL TAKE YOURS!)
Book 4
>Make Suyin the twist villain after Kuvira is beaten.
>Drop the Earth King stuff
>Make characters visit the Fire Nation at some point.

Turning into The Legend of Bolin.

I totally agree with making Amon and the Equalist story the last Book. I think we could cut Korra down from 4 Books to 3 with book 1 being about Zaheer and the Red Lotus. It would be titled air and have Korra learn AIRbending while AIRbenders are popping around the nation while there is an AIR villain after them.
Book 2, dealing with Kuvira and the Earth Empire, would be titled Change instead of balance as it makes sense with Korra's character going through her traumatic changes, as well as the world.
Finally make Book 3 about Amon and the Equalists and title it Balance. What it's about is obvious - Korra attempting to find balance within herself and the world while trying to maintain balance between benders and nonbenders.

>Holy shit, the Dark Avatar spirit grafted itself to Kai
this shit would have been amazing if the show never took itself so seriously
