Interesting. 

People being down on the Book 2 preview is something I haven’t personally run across. I think it’s bold and beautiful and amazing. It doesn’t look like anything else on TV right now, especially with the multiple styles in background painting (Current, Spirit World, Flashback).

That said – what you’re saying about the first series is valid. These episodes take so long to animate and mix that the Korra team is probably in the middle of or finishing up the writing on Book Four as we speak, meaning Book Three’s voice-acting sessions are probably winding down. 

What I’m implying is that we still don’t really know how self contained each Korra book will be. TLA was a single quest over three books, and Korra hasn’t revealed how much the four books we’re going to get are going to be connected. 

All this to say that different isn’t worse, especially when we haven’t seen the season.

I can, however, see how someone who was into the steam-punk/dixieland more-realistic Republic City stories would balk at a trailer that has multiple giant spirit creatures in it. However, I don’t see how that initial concern would be negative, as some of my favorite parts of the TLA were the traveling/world-building episodes. 

I, personally, have extreme trust in the Avatar/Korra team at this point. The only way they frustrate me is by not giving it all to me RIGHT NOW. : )
