"But Korra isn’t a wholly new setting intentionally based on the intersections of between Asian and EuroAmerican culture, it is written to be a sequel to The Last Airbender and as such is building on the foundations of being without a EuroAmerica in its world."
I don't have a lot of patience with western-created stuff which plays with Asian-inspired worlds when and how it pleases them only to as the OP said "suggest that Americana is the inevitable future of all worlds. That is no other possibility for modernity and progress. That westernisation is inevitable even in fantasy worlds without a “West.”"
"That Americana is the inevitable future of all worlds" reminds me of the awfulness that was the new Battlestar Galactica (and countless other shows tbh).
