The character development in the Aang series was better . But the villains in LoKorra were better written . The only compelling villain in Aang ' s series , I thought , was Azula . But Amon , Zaheer and Kuvira were real standouts in their motivations and moral ambiguities . They challenged the utopia of avatars and benders that I dreamt of living in as a kid . <| sep |> sometimes you need the magic bullet <| sep |> You are right and I would love to do that but I feel so disempowered . I never make the right decision on my own and I am scared to fully break free because if I mess up and need help there will just be more shaming around the corner . Aren ' t parents supposed to encourage independence knowing that their adult children will screw up or just have bad luck and need help sometimes , but help them anyway without needing to patronise or lecture about bad choices ?
