Also, the original series is pretty woke against sexism, racism, xenophobia, etc..


I hate WOKE culture, cancel culture, ect. I really dont see how you came to this conclusion. Sure, the firebenders were hell bent on world domination and wiped out an entire tribe, but the characters virtually all seem like straight white characters, which is a welcomed departured from forced Woke culture.

Now Korra on the otherhand, would fit your narrative much more closely. I think you are stretching hard to find something if there is anything at all.

Its a spirit based, wisdom, buddhist, chakra-type show about balance and redemption, and its far from WOKE...

You likely don't see it because you watched this series before you were aware of "forced woke culture." It features everything the last guy listed, and literally NONE of the characters are white. Each of the the three main tribes exhibit some level of inherent xenophobia. Katara and Sokka's characterizations are basically a kid-friendly manifestation of anti-sexism.

You note Korra as being different, but the only philosophical difference is the addition of an openly gay character, sort of.

It sounds more like the other things you're labeling as woke probably aren't as woke as whatever YouTube and Twitter idiots you're listening to are telling you.

I think you should rewatch the show through an adult lens. It also covers issues of mental health, colonialism, disability, and genocide.

Literally no one on the show is supposed to be white lol. They are all based on Asian descent.
