The Avatar series could potentially make 2 more shows after Legend of Korra with an earth nation avatar and a fire nation avatar and I for one would not protest.

Avatar could come full circle and do another show about the next Air Nomad Avatar (someone who was different from Aang) and even another one about the next Water Tribe Avatar and so on and so forth and I would not protest.

you know how doctor who’s been around for 50+ years because the doctor’s regeneration gives the audience a fresh face, personality, and plot to keep going with?
yeah, avatar has that advantage too.

The only minor issue is the series gives the impression that technology is progressing at a pace roughly comparable to our own. Given that Avatars live extended lives (Aang canonically spent most of his life-extending abilities keeping alive in that ice block so he “only” lived to be like 100 or so allowing Katara to outlive him), and given that in Korra’s era it’s roughly (emphasis on roughly) the early 20th century, the next Avatar could very easily be living in the equivalent of our future.

So… near-future Earthbender, or maybe cyberpunk Earthbender? Possibly followed by post-apocalyptic Firebender and then post-post-apocalyptic (yes, that’s a thing) Airbender? Alternately, Firebender in space and Airbender in Space Opera.

Personally I’m not 100% sure that’s what I’d want since none of that feels very Avatar to me, but I’m sure a ton of people would love that. Also, they could go back on their implied technological advances if they wanted to, or go the High Fantasy route and slow down technological progress and blame it on magic (aka bending).

You fail to consider none of the last 5 avatars have died of natural causes at old age, since their spirits look to be 50 years of age at most. If it was just a matter of them choosing to manifest as a younger selves then why didn’t Roku?

Korra may very well pass away around the Avatarverse’s roaring 50′s, a time that could be pretty peaceful, making way for a more slice-of-life kinda story; and basically, bring me the laid-back, pompadour-sporting, biker-gang-style-team earthbender avatar, please, thank . _.
