Nothing about Zuko's mother (I was just getting to understand and perhaps even like Zuko when the show ended), how the nations that hated each other came to terms, how air benders would be brought back, or other loose ends. I feel there was too much going on when the ATLA ended and instead of a new cast of characters, the old ones should have been brought back.

Every time I've read a book, watched a movie, or seen a show where a reoccurring world has had different sets of characters, the end result is BAD. Why go through developing the first characters if you're just going to drop them in the end?
The first of the sequel comics, which are canon and are supervised by Mike and Bryan in some capacity, is being released in February.

Technically 70 years, but Craymel is still right.
