History FanonDiscontinuity / AvatarTheLastAirbender

** Some fans dislike the apparent neglect of the Gaang as Korra's teachers (despite spending over a decade with the white lotus with a foundation of high aptitude as a toddler) and world leaders. What some perceive as arbitrarily creating the drama of Korra's story.

* Some fans consider the post-series Dark Horse comics in general as non-canon, with ''The Promise'', ''The Search'' and ''Smoke and Shadow'' being the ones that get ignored the most. ''The Rift'' and ''North and South'' don't get the same backlash as the others, but are still ignored for the most part.
** ''[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderThePromise The Promise]]'' is disliked for Zuko [[spoiler:asking Aang to kill him if he ends up like his father]] in part 1, followed by his [[spoiler:breakup with Mai]] in part 2.

** The episodes "[[{{Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheGreatDivide}} The Great Divide]]" and "[[{{Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderAvatarDay}} Avatar Day]]" receive this, although the latter gets a pass as it fills in history on one of the previous Avatars. The former was actually acknowledged in "[[{{Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheEmberIslandPlayers}} The Ember Island Players]]" where the actors recreating the cast's travels briefly mention walking through the Great Divide before deciding to just fly over it.

*** Some supportive fans do not see it as faithful to the original but appreciate the story independently of its predecessor.
Those who don't take issue with either certain elements (the {{Dieselpunk}}/GangsterLand setting rather than MedievalStasis being most prevalent), the somewhat rapid establishment and changing of the LoveTriangle between first Mako/Korra/Bolin then Korra/Mako/Asami, and they feel that the characters are less compelling overall. There are some groups that deny the entire series exists, because they think it contradicts the established canon of ATLA, their ships from the original series were officially sunk, or they think it is written poorly when compared to the original series.

** Some Kataang shippers were quite bitter at the fact that Zuko was confirmed to be the closest person to Aang and that he knew Aang better than anyone else, even more so than Katara, his own ''wife''.

** Other fans dislike Aang's supposed neglect of Kya and Bumi to teach Tenzin more about the Air Nomads, feeling that it clashed with his established personality too much.

** Some fans regard Legend of Korra as a canon series overall, but still disregard all of the additions to the original lore that happened in the second half of season 2. Specifically: there’s no Raava and Vaatu, there’s no such thing as a “Dark Avatar” or threat of 10,000 years of darkness, Aang and all of the previous Avatars’ spirits [[spoiler:weren’t KilledOffForReal]], etc. As far as these fans are concerned, season 2 ended with Korra simply opening the spirit portals to make way for the more beloved season 3 and 4 storylines, and Unalaq was unceremoniously KilledOffscreen. Oh, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and Korra and Asami never got back together with Mako to drag out the]] RomanticPlotTumor situation even further.
** There are more than a few fans who disregard the reveal of Amon's true identity, and his [[spoiler: true motivations,]] preferring the character as he was before said reveal.

** ''[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderSmokeAndShadow Smoke and Shadow]]'' has also fallen into this among Azula fans who want her to redeem herself in which near the end of part 3 has [[spoiler:Azula running away in defeat again]]. There is also the fact that Mai suffers from a massive DesignatedHero syndrome in that we are supposed to agree and sympathize with her but she ends up becoming a completely unlikable character especially with how much she mistreats Zuko.

* Several ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' fans hate the graphic novels ''[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderThePromise The Promise]]'' and ''[[ComicBook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheSearch The Search]]'', with the former had and the latter had the letter in the end of part 1 revealing that Zuko's father Ozai [[spoiler:may not be his real father]], followed by [[spoiler:Azula running away defeated]] in the end of part 3 in addition to ,

** It's implied throughout the show that Ty Lee's friendship with Azula was based mostly, if not wholly, on the fear of what would happen if she disobeyed her. Good luck finding fans who subscribe to that, with many (especially shippers) preferring to have Ty Lee as Azula's MoralityPet, who often tries to redeem and rehabilitate her post-series. Azula's voice actress believes they had a close relationship although she also recognises it as abusive.

''The Search'' comics get the most hate, as they revealed that [[spoiler:Ursa married another man after running off and had a daughter with him, after wiping her memories of her previous life.]] Mai and Zuko shippers despise ''The Promise'' and ''Smoke and Shadow'' due to the ShipSinking in the former and Mai being an UnintentionallyUnsympathetic {{Jerkass}} in the latter, while Azula fans despise ''The Search'' and ''Smoke and Shadow'', feeling that it damages the possibility for her to have a redemption arc and that [[spoiler:her half-sister Kiyi]] is [[ReplacementScrappy a poor man's replacement for her.]] ''The Rift'' and ''North and South'' don't get the same backlash as the others, but are still ignored for the most part.
