Tenzin offering himself as support to Korra throughout the series created a much different show than Avatar, and the breadth of opinion that characters of different age ranges could provide forced Korra and other characters to reconsider their own opinions. Their presence not only allows for incredible feats of bending, but also a diversity of experience and opinion. Where Avatar is focused on pre-teens and teenagers, its successor has large roles for adult characters, such as Tenzin, Varrick and Lin Beifong. The latter made some big changes when it came to the character roster, mostly in expanding the age range.
