Korra is a more important Avatar than Aang(www.polygon.com)

Oh yeah, the comics are hot garbage. Like The Promise, where Zuko decides not to de-colonize the Earth Kingdom because some of his colonizer subjects feel a connection to the land now, poor colonizers, and the comic portrays that claim to the land as similarly legitimate to that of the Earth Kingdom

I’m asking in good faith, so please don’t take this as a trolling question. I genuinely want to know the answer. What does decolonisation mean in the context of avatar, when there’s families from the fire nation that have lived there for 100 years? Should people from the Fire Nation just be sent back there?

The Fire Nation needs to return all land and make reparations. Fire Nation citizens in the Earth Kingdom could theoretically be allowed to stay, but that would have to be up to the people of the Earth Kingdom, particularly the people of those specific colonized parts of it.

No matter how connected they feel to the land, no matter that some of them were born there, the presence of the Fire Nation colonizers was not some accident- it was a deliberate act of war and cultural genocide.

At the very least, that chickenshit “well why don’t you just share the land and be part of neither nation?” solution was some both sides nonsense, as if this was some border dispute and not a conflict where one side was the clear- and self-admitted!- aggressor and colonizer

So I understand that in the context of writing, a both sides story like this is bad. But in the plot, don’t basically all the people in what becomes republic city demand independence? To me they seem more like the metis than two separate groups.
