I'm not the person you're asking, but I hate how much they westernized the world despite having no group representing European culture in the original series. It's lazy and revisionist - they could have imagined what the industrial revolution and the age of enlightenment would look like in a world without western imperialism, but instead they decided that liberalism was the inevitable conclusion.
I haven't seen it in a long time and I remember having a lot more complaints, but that's the big one. Where Avatar shined was the world building, and I just don't think the same can be said about Korra.
I still like Korra, but all these (and other) criticisms are legit. The cops being the good guys (and talked about the same way cops are in cop shows) is definitely a problem.
Avatar TLA arguably still has guards/soldiers whose authority is often respected... but it's quite removed from the typical image of a cop. Most places seem to do perfectly fine without violent authorities - violent authorities are usually the enemy.
Yeah, I've watched pretty much the whole thing and there were definitely parts I enjoyed - I just couldn't get past that. I also didn't like their depictions of ideological extremists, but that's sort of tied into the western worldview that I'm talking about.
Yeah, when Lin leaves the police that are then turned against civilians I thought they understood that cops aren't good...but then that is all gone after season 1

Oh wow, that's super insightful and true. I've only ever seen KORRA_BAD takes on why it was disappointing, but I really agree with this one.

I’m rewatching Korra right now and yeah there are so many cops. But the original is cool. Also Korra is still pretty good.

I mean sure but so does real life
they’re clearly not operating on the same level of insane American cops here
