Why?
No really, why?
"Korra’s quest eventually leads her to Republic City-the epicenter of the world of “Avatar.” A metropolis powered by steampunk-type technology, the city is inhabited by people from all nations. Korra finds that Republic City suffers from rampant crime and is also dealing with an anti-bender revolt. Korra is tutored by Aang’s son, Tenzin, is the ways of airbending."
Granted the steam-punkish war machines of the fire nation were cool and all but they were cool in small doses. Introducing a whole city on it might be good for a one off episode but to make it a focal point of the series?
And this really seems to be an attempt to go more "grim" and "dark" for the new series. I'll say it now that that is a fucking terrible idea. The first one was a success because it kept an overall positive and upbeat tone but allowed itself to get serious at the proper moments.
TL;DR: Wuxia+Steampunk= Shit
