@nanashipersonne4151 Unfortunately Korra is the only thing in the show that works. It's all that's around her that doesn't.
None of her team GROWS. So Mako, Bolin and Asami are boring characters.
Also the villains never grow beyond being cartoonishly "bad guys". Their ideas may have had some merit, but they are only extremists. While, in ATLA, team Zuko and Team Azula were part of the family. You knew MANY things about their lives, and why they acted like they did. Even Jet was written better than the best villain of LOK.
The worse is in the first book. Where the chi-blockers are only an army of faceless minions, led by a masked guy that only in the final episode is revealed to be a never heard before brother of another character (who was revealed to be a bloodbender, son of anoter bloodbender we've never heard before, three episodes before). It cant' be shallower than that. Why should we care of those guys?
The setting is static. ATLA was a road movie. LOK is centred aroud a city. If you don't like it, so bad. There is not going to be another setting in the next episode.
LOK lacks balance. In ATLA 2/3 of the strongest team for most of the show was composed of non-benders. In LOK bending superpowers (lightningbending, lavabending, metalbending, bloodbending, fire propulsion...) are cheap, and non benders don't have a chance. That also doesn't make sense. During the 100 years wars, to be a strong bender was a death-life decider. Why peacetime benders should be so much stronger?
Etc.
