I was at a Pirates game tonight, how did the premier go?

The general consensus is surprisingly, refreshingly good

I wish the goon went with them, he was way better than Kai

I disagree with the idea that he's better than Kai, but I will make two arguments on why he should have gone along:

1: Seriously what kind of goon passes up the opportunity to join an ancient order of mystic martial arts practitioners? It would make sense for him to be obsessed with bad radio dramas and dime novels about adventure and be continuously disappointed by what reality turns out to be
2: If he did go along he would constantly perv out on Korra and Asami, being a walking parody of a certain type of Avatar fan. Though I can't really imagine how that would go over with Nickelodeon's S&P so I can understand why they wouldn't pursue that angle.

Boy am I glad you're not writing this show.

So am I, I come up with dumb ideas sometimes

Tenzin was literally raised his entire life with this expectation and idea foisted upon him as the centerpiece of his entire life. He is not the best at thinking outside of that.

Tenzin has every reason to want to keep old Airbending culture in a box and lock it away from the modern world, after all if he doesn't, that culture dies completely. Being viewers we know tradition without adaptation is actively harmful both for the culture that shields itself and the culture surrounding it, just ask nearly every society/religion/philosophy that has ever existed, but change is also a very painful process by definition, so I don't blame him for acting that way.
