Yeah ia. I wonder if they gave him so much screen time to compensate for the fact that by the final season, the main four were all in their twenties.

which was actually something that made me like LoK more than the original series - the more mature cast - but thinking about it, I wonder if it wasn't a risky decision when it's essentially a kids' show. Hence, the obnoxious twerps stealing the camera.

It wasn't even just the main four - they gave a relatively large amount of screentime to Tenzin, Lin, and the other adults.
You're definitely right about it being a risk, and that's probably why they did it (and why they need the Cute Animals). But given the way the series played out it just ended up unbalanced imo.
And I'm with you, I really liked the mature cast we got in LoK. I was all set to like LoK better than AtLA tbh, but then it... didn't go the distance.

I think LoK could've benefited from one consistent plot, because having totally separate plots each season made it somewhat episodic. Not that subplots are bad, but I think the most interesting plot was the first one, with the non-benders, and that was severely underplayed (but then again, iirc, the series had only been green-lit for one season at that time).

I still liked it better overall, though. The first had its charms, but I liked the LoK characters more. Not only the main four, but the older adults were really interesting, too.

Agreed. Or, if they had only had two big bads, each one for two seasons, the series might have had more time to really delve into the issues instead of running in and out.

There's a lot of stuff I liked about lok, but ultimately it never grabbed me the way atla did. Maybe it's because of the lack of cohesion, maybe because out of the main four I thought a lot of them were squandered - Mako was a jerk, I wanted more Korra and Asami interaction, I wanted Bolin to get more moments of development instead of ending up the chump so often. The adults were pretty awesome, but... idk. I really think that part of what made me love atla so much was that Zuko's redemption arc was /so/ well done.
LoK had so much potential for me, but ultimately AtLA is my favorite.
