(or maybe how they would, as I think Aang was more of an everyman protagonist than Korra is)
And also, we've had several years for the fandom to sort of build Aang up in their minds as an all-around-perfect hero guy. And no doubt he was a really great Avatar (and probably not actually that bad a dad), but his legacy is a lot for Korra to live up to.
Which is why I think Tenzin is such a great mentor for her -- they're both living with that legacy, and trying very hard to fit into a mould that doesn't quite suit them.
