Pitch for the Earth Kingdom-Avatar show:

Assuming that Aang represents the 1800s (colonialism, warships, coal and oil) and Korra represents the 1920s (jazz music, steampunk, cars), let’s say the Earth Avatar takes place in the Avatar world’s equivalent of the 1970s/1980s.

For episode 1, instead of the traditional opening, we get a montage of how the world has changed since Korra died. Someone is watching TV and is flipping between channels, resulting in this montage:

1) A cheesy commercial about the home computer, developed by the Air Republic (by this point, the Airbenders have formed their own country)

2) A tacky ad about a cruise line for Kyoshi Island. The ad is intentionally degrading and not at all respectful of the island (lots of “ooohhh, how exotic!” type of editing).

3) A 60 Minutes interview with the Fire Nation Prime Minister (the Fire Nation government has changed since Korra died). The Prime Minister accuses the Earth Avatar of “Fire-phobia” and that he is biased towards the Earth Kingdom since that’s where he was born.

4) A news report that the crime rates in Ba Sing Se are skyrocketing.

5) A music video from a Northern Water Tribe celebrity. The song is in the style of city pop (ex: Mariya Takeuchi, Plastic Love).

6) A movie adaptation of Aang’s story. The actor playing Aang is obviously based on Arnold Schwarzenegger and the costumes are all wrong. It’s like the 1980s’ version of “Avatar The Last Airbender”.

7) Another interview in which several intellectuals argue about a “revisionist” perspective of the Hundred Year War. The intellectuals argue that the Fire Nation “needed” to attack in order to combat Earth Kingdom and Water Tribe aggression. They also placed the blame of the war on Aang for “cowardly” running away instead of acting as a peacemaker and that the real reason why the war ended was because of Zuko taking the throne.

8) Another news report that war between the Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom is “imminent”. The Earth President and the Fire Nation Prime Minister both insist that they don’t want war but the news anchors cast doubt on the leaders’ statements. (obviously, this is to mimic the Cold War standoff between the US and the Soviet Union)

After the montage, we see that it was the Earth Avatar who was watching. He’s completely stressed out by what he was watching, which you can also see in his disheveled appearance. He tosses the remote and says something along the lines of, “Korra, if you’re out there, I need your guidance”. Korra doesn’t respond. The Earth Avatar then says, “Fine…I guess I’m on my own”.

Cue opening credits (which may or may not have 1980s synthpop beats).

So, assuming that Korra lived to her 80s or 90s and that we’re going by “real world” standards of time, that should put the Earth Avatar somewhere in the mid-20th century. Korra was the Avatar world’s equivalent of the Industrial Revolution, so that timing should be about right.

Which gives us plenty of options for what the Earth show could be like:

1) WWII, so maybe the Earth Nation, after they became a democracy, turned into a dictatorship when they elected a fascist who promised to restore the glory of the pre-democracy Earth Kingdom. It’s technically not a repeat of Aang’s show as we’re starting at the onset of war, not 100 years later. Plus, there’d be machine guns and at least one nation will have become a communist-run state (maybe the Fire Nation, after the Royal Family was toppled over by the Avatar equivalent of the Socialist movement)

2) Cold War, so skipping WWII entirely. Maybe the Earth Kingdom and the Fire Nation have become the Avatar world’s equivalent of the United States and the Soviet Union. The Earth Avatar will then have the unfortunate task of maintaining balance while making sure the two kingdoms don’t just destroy the world through nuclear armageddon. And maybe instead of nuclear bombs, the Earth and Fire governments discovered some form of destructive bending or found some Spirit World weapon that is on par with the Avatar state. Enough to destroy whole nations.

3) 1980s. I’m not really being serious on this idea, but imagine an Avatar show with 1980s aesthetics. I mean, 1980s aesthetics is all the rage nowadays, especially with Stranger Things.

4) Aside from the 1980s, imagine an Avatar show that emulates either the 1950s, 1960s, or 1970s. Take your pick of which decade would be the most fun to explore.

5) Or, let’s say Korra died earlier than we thought. Imagine a 1920s/Roaring Twenties-style Avatar show. Jazz music, speakeasies, flappers, etc.
