This should not be unexpected for a forum that had dozens of "Rant and Rave" threads dedicated to a tv show adaptation already. No. Apart from a complete reboot, I can see no way to salvage the show. The Sauron in Eregion storyline has been concluded in 30 minutes and Numenor's religious crisis has been boiled down to "Dey took 'er jerbs!". There is no coming back from this. The best the show could offer now is mindless spectacle.

Neither Isildur (after leaving Gondor) nor his descendants exercised the office of High King though if I recall correctly. The premise is not really false. -

That king being Earnur. The claim of Aragorn's line was rejected a thousands years prior to the events -
Considering that Books 3&4 were already greenlit by the time book 1 aired, that book 2 released roughly a year after book 1 and that an episode (if I recall correctly) of this kind of animation takes roughly 1 year to produce, I would say that this is likely the case. Overall I very much prefer The Last Airbender over Korra and I would go as far as to say that the only things Korra does better are technical animation quality (excluding the first half of season 2) and maybe music. The only good season is in my opinion season 3 and even it is not as good as standart ATLA. Add to that that dumb and fanficcy stuff like the "Dark Avatar", sudden Airbenders and first Avatars, and I really find myself wishing that they had not made Korra at all.
