The loss is not entirely Korra’s fault.
Aang ended the war and restored balance to the world, but what came next?
Her journey reflects Wan’s, though she makes different choices that set up new developments in the universe.
Like Wan, Korra fought Vaatu during Harmonic Convergence, setting the tone for the next era.
Each new Avatar inheritsissues from its predecessor.
Kuruk (Jim Meskimen) spent his lifetime battling angry spirits because Yangchen (Tress MacNeille) prioritized humans.
While the next Avatar’s journey isn’t entirely clear, she will be impacted by this loss.
The lost connection to the past Avatars represents a loss of knowledge, which would help the new Avatar.
