I heard Bryke are making a live action version for netflix. I don't know any good rewrites for Korra. Most that I've seen were sequel ideas on here. One anon mentioned an earthbending dude and his firebender buddy becoming protagonists.

Get ready for even more retcons. Like having spirit portals brought up in the North Water Tribe's arc, rewriting Roku's words on the Avatar State, etc.

That pisses me off. The panda spirit it wasn't even dark. It was vengeful because it's forest was burned down. It's more like a vengeful ghost more than anything. I hate that binary light & dark morality Bryke shoved in Korra.

They tried to apply their mangled post-Christian morality for the universe to a Far Eastern setting. Dharmic theologies and Taoism (the most relevant theological systems to Avatar) don't have such beliefs. A key difference is that they don't have a notion of "original sin" or the claim that man is a fundamentally evil being. They maintain that man is merely someone who hasn't reached his potential. The Buddha or Confucius is a teacher, not a ruler or redeemer figure.
The above is relevant with how they especially changed the Avatar's nature. The Avatar in the Airbender wasn't shown as some spiritual dictator powered by a light goddess who cannot be questioned. Aang did not interfere with the goings-on of the lands he visited beyond what was necessary for his mission. We see Kyoshi do such only to learn that her hit-squad ended up being a shining example of the court's corruption. With how Korra and the comics frame it, humans are meat-eating beasts who need Korra or some other Avatar to keep them in line so they won't wage war on the noble savages (spirits).

I have a few ideas for the Post-Aang world of Avatar
>Fearing that the cycle will be broken, Aang asks Katara if he can have multiple wives (to make more Airbenders) she begrudgingly accepts (Aang's harem mainly consists of his Kyoshi Island admirers)
>Thanks to this, Airbender males are expected to have at least three wives
>The leader of the Airbenders is Katara's only airbending son (many of his half-siblings deeply resent him for being "Daddy's favourite")
>Polygamy among the other Benders isn't as common, but it isn't really taboo
>Due to Sky Bison being extinct, Airbender use assorted types of large flying animals as mounts like Wind Buffalos, assorted species of giant birds and flying Manatees (a reference to Appa's early design)

Just because Bryke wrote themselves into a corner from from demanding that bending be some sort of racial/familial bloodline ability doesn't mean a rewrite has to follow it. There are other alternatives than making all airbenders descended from Aang. Such as:
A. Having Aang mass recruit from other lands. There should be no shortage of willing and able benders who could help make a proper population.
B. Just saying that there were others who had the blood of Air Nomads like Ty Lee who weren't actively practicing their traditions.

One thing that confuses me about Avatar especially in season 1 of LOK is that is bending genetic? I know it's supposed to be some spiritual martial arts practice but the way it's portrayed especially in season 1 of Korra makes me wonder if there's some genetic aspect to it. I don't know maybe it might be too close to the Force and midichlorians if I think about it too much.

They changed them from martial art traditions to more or less Mutant powers. The Air Nomads were even noted to be the most spiritual (hence them being the only land where everyone was a bender). That is especially worth noting since LoK just did the portals so that all those randos could have Air Nomad bending with no regard for how they followed Air Nomad traditions.
The Air Acolytes weren't even prioritized and that's just a shame.

I never really bought that they managed to kill all the nomads during the comet. They're nomads, by definition they're not all going to be in the four temples at the same time, especially if there's more than four groups (otherwise the population would be tiny). It would have been perfectly acceptable to say that while most of the air nomads were killed in the initial attack, many survivors dispersed into the general population and left an extant but unrealized bloodline.

Even if that happens, that doesn't mean the Air Nomads should be a full blown country again in Korea's time. They should remain a land that's rebuilding and not being giddamn superheroes. At most they can be hired professionals.
Even then, LoK should have a notably longer time-gap between TLA and it.

I had an autistic idea for a sequel
>Set it even farther in the future, if Korra is the 1920's then this series will be set in the 80's, Republic City is still a mix of New York and Tokyo, only with a big contrast in aesthetic, the ritzy places call to mind wall street and Pre-recession Tokyo, the slums recall the Warriors and 1970's Times Square
>Avatar is an earthbender who makes his living as a hacker bending the silicon in computer chips, since society has mostly moved on he's not afforded nearly as much reverence as his past lives, protagonist is pretty disgruntled by this and the fact that he can't properly use avatar state because Korra the crackwhorra (The only past life he can contact) had all the others erased and it turns out the combined experience of the past avatars was what fueled the avatar state. Retconning most of the retarded Raava/Vaatu shit
>The city has never been more prosperous, but on the other hand its never been as dangerous. there are enclaves of Neo-Equalists that still operate, basically convinced that the reveal of Amon being a waterbender was a smear job by the government so they just never stopped fighting, and Asami and Verric, for their part, kept supplying both sides with weapons as a way of keeping their company's in the black.
>Bending gangs have basically become organized crime syndicates Firebenders styled after the Yakuza, Earthbenders after the Tongs and Triads, Waterbenders after the Mafia, less Capone and more Gotti. Airbenders being your average ghetto gang, since most airbenders who don't live in the temples just end up in bending Compton.
>The overarching villain is the protagonist's firebending buddy, who basically uses him to eliminate all opposition Basically manipulating him into encountering "villains" that are actually just impediments to his ambition. to him rising to the top of the Underworld and eventually using him to organize a stock market crash and destabilize the city enough for him to unite the gangs and take over the city, basically becoming a kind of avatar himself symbolically, he has all four elements under his control, he united the four bending gangs. the climax being the two of them having a running battle across the city as mass riots are erupting around them
That's pretty much it.

That's a ridiculous question to ask. It'd be like asking if the stars are necessary.
You can only consider such a scenario since LoK's showrunners made the Avatar into what's more or less a dictator/vigilante powered by a shoehorned light goddess who can only be loosely considered a sacred entity in the way someone like the Buddha was. The Avatar's now retconned background had the being be the Earth's incarnation (hence the Avatars being men with women, 4 Nations, each element, associated with the untamed wild) and do acts like fight against the Fire Nation since they were disrupting harmony (mass pollution, forcing the 4 Nations to serve One).
Aang didn't interfere in the law of the lands he visited unless it was needed for his mission. The one time the Avatar did interfere with the law it gave the Dai Li. LoK went all out on how the Avatar is really some divine dictator who's needed not from representing the world but from busting heads. It's a Westernized vision rooted in a post-Christian culture. Far Eastern societies have no notion of "Original Sin." Men like the Buddha or Confucius were not born to redeem men or rule men but to teach men.

No I'm not a Buddhist. And I mean what they said.
Far Eastern cultures as a rule have no notion of "Original Sin." No notion that men are inherently twisted or corrupted beings (at least no more than other beings like spirits/gods). They also have a lack of notions that spirits/gods are strictly morally higher entities that men need to endlessly accommodate (aka how Korra's show depicted spirits).
The Buddha did not come to this world to rule men as some dictator like Korra is more or less said to be. Neither did Confucius. In traditional Far Eastern teachings men are just as much part of the world as a wolf or bear, and would you call wolves and bears inherently "evil" meat eaters? Korra and Co. would going from how they depict men and spirits.

Building on what I said, going from Chinese mythology Wan would be well within his rights to mass deport all the spirits since they were overwhelmingly hostile/dangerous to men. Chinese myths have plenty of examples of men overcoming spirits or deities or monsters like the ocean. The Chinese even have a saying for it, 人定胜天, or "Man Inevitably Triumphs Over Heaven."

That's a honestly interesting scenario. I did think that there should've been more tinpot dictators and calls to reclaim land. Have the sequel actually remember the FN's great war happened with more conflicts that are rooted in it rather than just Kuvira being Gurl Hitler/Mao.
One of the many problems with LoK is that it came off as more like Bryke reimagining the setting to suit themselves than a proper sequel. Most of the villains in LoK were just new and edgy situations like having a cross between Klansmen, Commies, and the anti-Mutant villains from X-Men. Not properly rooted in the FN's warring and its impact on the world.

Well there's no doubt that Legend of Korra is Avatar's Last Jedi now. That Avatar's Chronicle book which came out last year shows it. Some of the posts in the thread point out that a continuation of the franchise is impossible unless someone contrives another way for future Avatars to speak with past lives.

Not being able to speak to past lives aside, I just don't see how they could come up with a satisfying conflict or enemy for a new Avatar at this point. Nothing really matches the significance of the 100 year war and Korra burned through most alternatives that could at least be kinda interesting.

The observation that the Bryke had their first foray into live-action television be a remake of TLA backs the suggestion that even Bryke knows that TLA has gone down in history better than Korra has.
By this point, I can see one or both of the following:
A. Bryke dump all their ability into remaking the Avatar brand for live-action. Sooner or later they'll get to remaking Korra.
B. In the event the live-action underwhelms, someone does a Rise of Skywalker and tries to undo what Korra did for the setting.

It's obvious that Zutarans are a thing since much of the female audience for Avatar unsurprisingly finds Zuko to be more attractive than Aang (prince, "tortured", ultraviolent but not too threatening for the women in the audience) and project themselves as Katara (who's beautiful but not too slutty, is the team's "mom", is spunky but isn't the one who drives events). Female psychology is what it is and it would choose a Zuko over an Aang every time if given the option.
A boy like Aang is someone many pretty girls would dismiss as just a "friend" or even a little brother figure. Women dig it when a man can make them laugh, but they aren't into men who can only make them laugh. Those men are just clowns.
