So is this a prequel, or is the implication that something horrible happened after Korra and the world is now post-apocalyptic?
It's the future. Apparently korra fucked up the world pretty bad
But I'll bet they'll push some climate change allegories in the show
A prosthetic leg seems unlikely to be further back in time, although if it were that would at least still mean a fully intact chain of previous Avatars and not what is likely to be only Korra in this case 🙄
It's just a peg leg, those date back to before Christ in our own timeline. But yeah, I just remembered how Korra ended, with her opening a permanent link between the physical and spiritual planes, right after severing the accumulated knowledge of thousands of past lives who could have advised her on what to do in such a world-changing event. So no shit human civilization would have suffered.
Sadly no that's not a peg leg, it's modeled after a modern prosthetic that iirc was invented by the kid of a disabled Iraq veteran. The scooped shape is a giveaway that it's a modern design. Those didn't exist before the mid 2000s.
It still looks like a solid, non-articulated piece. Not one of those springy ones that allow cripples to sprint faster than with normal legs. Kinda looks digitigrade, like it was inspired off of one of the weird animal hybrids in that world.
