Yeah I agree, overall the story was bad. I really enjoyed the characters and slice of life aspects of the show. I felt some of those points you bring up were big weaknesses to the overall experience. It felt like the team was targeting a younger group than before. (Or I just got older haha)
I can corroborate your last point because I watched both of these series relatively recently, and I also have little to no nostalgia associated with the subject.
I actually used to despise when ATLA came on. At that age, I could never commit to following plot-heavy shows, because I didn't really watch TV a ton (I thought I watched a lot, but I'm learning now as I talk to peers that it was not lol), and the show felt like it was on forever, eating up time on Nick. I finished it up around this time last year and ATLA is now among my favorite shows ever. I continued with TLOK shortly after, and yeah, those were my feelings.
So from my experience, I'm not gonna say it's the whole "growing out of it" thing. TLOK just is a less interesting story, the way I see it.
