They'd have to drop the makorra and whats-her-name+dad nonsense and find a new way for amon to have his machines and it might fit. chances are hollywood doesn't want to get anywhere near the subject anymore though.

That's not necessarily true, the property is still ridiculously valuable, if holiwood is known for anything, it's trying again.
Also it was profitable, it's box office gross was over 150 mil over it's production costs. It was very profitable in spite of the insane budget.
I wouldn't be surprised if they tried again

Yeah, critical reception means nothing. Those ****ty "Movie" films: Date Movie, Epic Movie, etc., all gross way over budget, which is why they kept getting churned out, despite not actually being parodies (instead, bordering on straight plagiarism). The Last Airbender grossed pretty well, so I think Hollywood would be willing to try again. They just need to be smart about who they choose to direct and screenwrite: don't get ****ing M. Night to do it. Get someone who is, you know, talented.
If they do Korra, I hope they fix the ****ty ending.
Also Squirrel Girl is awesome.

Well keep in mind, whether the film makes money isn't always the concern, if the IP is valuable for more then just film, they're gonna concerned about whether it makes other areas of the IP less valuable.
For example, batman returns was a mega-hit, earning more then three times it's production budget. In spite of that fact, Burton got canned and the subsequent movies were done in a very different style. The reason is because his vison of batman with it's extreme gothic overtones and sexualization conflicted with their intent to market to kids. Merchandising, the animated series, they were even concerned about it impacting the long-term viability of the comics.*
Epic movie and the like don't have to worry about this because they're only film properties.
Also, keep in mind that airbender wasn't viable domestically, it only grossed enough to make it profitable when you include foreign returns. This feeds into my prior point about damaging the brand (because the main audience for the other airbender properties is in the US), and also brings up the issue that these numbers aren't immediately available. Given that a lot of decisions are made based on early box-office figures, and the domestic income was sub-par, I doubt they would make the decision to "churn" out additional iterations even if this was only a film property. Heck, even batman and robin was profitable including foreign gross.
The point is, avatar the last airbender as a film property isn't dead, at least partially because it was pretty profitable.
If they decide to go forward with a new installment, they're probably do it similarly to how they went forward with batman forever and assemble a new creative team. It's probably gonna be a lot more conservative either in terms of faithfulness to the property in order to protect the brand, but it's still pretty likely that they'll try again given how profitable avatar is right now.

Aside because I like to point out these sorts of things: It's worth noting that the more recent batman movies avoiding this issue by very obviously marketing to adults. This eliminated parental confusion which could damage the brand in other areas. This both wasn't done in the Burton batman movies and wasn't considered a viable audience to exclusively market to for a comic adaptation.

Assuming it would be a two hour movie, I feel like they would keep the Makorra thing going, but not have Asami involved at all in terms of romance. If she is involved in the movie, her relationship with her father would be a good one to have if they can find another way for her to be part of Team Avatar rather than just Mako.
Movie will need Rocky training montage.

finding a great actress for korra would be a challenge

That just reminded me. If there was a Korra movie, I hope the actress who plays her actually resembles her physically. By that, I mean they give her some meat compared to some skinny heroine who can somehow kick ***.

It'll probably just be another situation where all the heroes are played by white people (Korra will totally be played by Victoria Justice)

26 episodes!? I just rewatched TLA and now rewatching Korra and I feel like they could create a villain who's been behind the scenes the entire time. No word on how Amon could take away bending yet and Sato said he was given a lot of money from a benefactor years ago. If they plan on going for 3 more seasons this could be interesting.
Also Korra's length and how everything, or most things were resolved by the end would translate well into movie. Also there's a lot that could be cut or added so I would get excited for it but yeah, it needs a good director and not a bunch of white actors we've seen before. Edgar Wright did such a good job with Scott Pilgrim IMO. Korra's not his style but the actors resembled the characters without looking out of place.

Yeah I was hoping Book 2 would be out before next year.
But hey this isn't anything new... waiting for the two "halves" in Book 3: Fire in ATLA was torture but we got through it.

It's times like this I wish I was able to produce a girlish squeal!
It looks like it would be better than Book 1 by bridging Korra's character with TLA's journey...I'll miss Amon and his revolution though. I liked the mature gray area. They do have a lot of stuff to explain though; The Avatar cycle, Lion Turtles, Bending, Zuko's mother, how Amon learned to take away bending and more of Korra's past. Not to mention how Aang died, it seems like it may have happened prematurely.

I'm not sure if Aang's passing may have been premature. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if the series is set 70 years after...and Korra is 17, that means you tack on about 53 years to Aang's age. So being 65 may sound reasonable to die at.
But I doubt that will be the case, so moot point.

Avatars can usually live past 100. Kyoshi lived 200+ years.
Aang being in the Avatar state while frozen for 100 years used up much of his life force.

I'm surprised the detail about
Asami's company going almost bankrupt due to her father. I mean, you figure everyone would know that Asami played a big role in getting the city back.

Money doesn't discriminate based on morality. Sato may have been evil, but he knew how to run a business and run it well. Maybe people just don't trust Asami to have that same skill in managing Sato Industries, her role in saving the city regardless, and so finances tale a hit.
It's a weak excuse, admittedly, but it's a realist approach to the idea

Well, from that collapsed blog post thingy, it said that
the company took a hit due to Sato's reputation. I figure that should be negated due to Asami's reputation. I don't think any mention of Asami's failure to run a business is listed as a reason for the company struggling.

We don't even really know how well Asami ran his business. All we know is that he was revolutionary with his inventions.
He was practically giving them away to the equalists. Not exactly the best business strategy.
Besides, most people couldn't care less about the actual business end of things when deciding what products to buy. Apple could market a literal brick as the next iphone and people would still buy it.

Apple really could release a brick as the new iPhone. Hipsters and morons would flock to it, with Hipsters claiming there was some sort of irony in paying $500 for an End User License Agreement attached to a brick.

Honestly, Toph looking pretty is nothing wrong to me. As pretty as she looks, however, it wouldn't fit her tough, tomboy character that we've grown accustomed to, though to be fair, she has been "prettyfied" before in the episode, Tales of Ba Sing Se.
