Oh yeah, the comics are hot garbage. Like The Promise, where Zuko decides not to de-colonize the Earth Kingdom because some of his colonizer subjects feel a connection to the land now, poor colonizers, and the comic portrays that claim to the land as similarly legitimate to that of the Earth Kingdom
I'm asking in good faith, so please don't take this as a trolling question. I genuinely want to know the answer. What does decolonisation mean in the context of avatar, when there's families from the fire nation that have lived there for 100 years? Should people from the Fire Nation just be sent back there?

Kuvira's an actual fascist who works to ethnically cleanse the Earth Empire. She's also the only villain the show tries to redeem. :thinkin-lenin:

Zaheer gets like 5 minutes of screen time in Book 4, mostly to make him realise that his 'anarchy' was a failure. In the comics,

Kuvira gets an entire story arc devoted to her backstory and redemption. I read it a while ago, but I'm pretty sure they even let her out of prison.
Maybe Zaheer's prison visit could be viewed as redemption, but they do 100X more of it for Kuvira.
Oh, I haven't gotten to the Korra comics yet. They're on back order right now.
Avatar comics make the shows' politics look good
