People will find any damn excuse to hate on Korra it's so annoying.

In fact, imma get downvoted to hell, but I don't even think this was bad writing. In a show with conflict there need to be stakes, and sometimes, the heroes need to lose some, otherwise it just feels bland. Korra does this like no other, and that's why I like the show so much.

But people just want everything to be the exact state as it was, like "the golden days" so they can endlessly praise it (even though they still can, it's not like atla was removed from existence).

What people think Avatar line was: 1000 years of wisdom

What the Avatar line actually was: 1000 years of people fucking up and creating problems for their successor to fix

Past lives allowed the next lives to know why these problems existed in order to be able to resolve them more effectively or more consciously.

And also speaking with past lives was rrally an important element of the concept of the avatar, as important as the bending of the 4 elements or the reincarnation, removing it is just removing an important part of its concept.

There need to be stakes, and the world and ot concepts evolve, that's just how it be.
