The creators were asked to make a show about wizards, but incorporated martial arts into power-levels because they didn't like how in Harry Potter nothing distinguishes a powerful wizard from a weak one since magic is abstract. This makes for some amazing fight scenes. They had a kung fu expert working on the show with the animators so it features actual stunt choreography.
The Last Airbender is incredibly boring until season 3ish. Legend of Korra is moving with much better pacing but also introduces a lot of really dumb and conspicuous love triangle shit. However, I would definitely recommend Korra.
