It's the last 15 minutes that really mess things up. Until those last minutes, I read most of the series as being about Korra and her fears (fear of being irrelevant in a new age; fear of not begin a good Avatar; fear of not finding someone to love; fear of losing her main personal identifying quality - being the Avatar; fear of Amon; etc), but since none of these fears were really addressed in the finale (she never really overcame her fears), it's hard to argue that the show wasn't simply about premise. So, I will concede the point.

I definitely agree that, over time, the characters of Last Airbender were more interesting. But, just looking at the first 12 episodes side-by-side, besides Aang, and to a lesser extent Katara and Zuko, the characters in Last Airbender weren't particularly interesting. Similarly, besides Korra, and to a lesser extent Tenzin and Tarrlok, the characters weren't that interesting.
