She didn't break the chain of rebirth, the writers did when they nerfed the avatar state from god mode to tiny power boost for a second. The Avatar state was never scary until Zaher had to face it 3 seasons in.

Korra is a character who constantly gets beat down, but she always got back up and got the job done. The formula for most her big fights was "get beat up, get beat up again, get humiliated by the public, get beat up again, and win by dumb luck"

Is it not enjoyable to watch the mc always take the L, that's just poor story telling. Every season was the team scrambling to keep up with the big bad, it never felt like they were going in with upper hand.

Having the world end and everyone hate the Avatar means Korra once again took an L.

I do like the new show concept, sounds like a cool story. The reset is needed to bring back the "fantasy" aspect of the world and keep Avatar from becoming a sci-fi. And an Earth Avatar in a metal world sounds OP anyways, (oh god I hope they don't get rid of metal bending, surly someone will remember)

Also having the Avatar hated, gives the story a new angle. It breaks from the pampered chosen one who gets instant hero perks in every town, we've seen that 5 times now between the shows and books.
