Yeah but Roku's story was always just supplementary material to Aang's story. We never had a full series with Roku as the primary protagonist so we don't have a series to revisit where we're, like, "Ah, all this hard work and sacrifice this character is making right now now, too bad it gets undone and fucked up later :)"

I think I just don't like most direct sequels. The story is done, let it just be done. If the world is compelling enough then tell a story somewhere else in time, or focus on new characters that aren't existing in the previous characters' shadows. Like, The Lord of the Rings was a sequel to The Hobbit, but they just kinda shunted Bilbo off to the elves and didn't focus on him whatsoever which was perfect. Korra was more like if we were following Aragorn's son and his struggle to be the king of Gondor in his father's shadow while the kingdom is collapsing or some BS. I don't want that, it'd make Aragorn's story way less compelling to know that as soon as he's gone shit goes to hell.
