Like its predecessor, Korra benefits from an enthusiastic group of voice talent (though, its title character has exchanged youthful zeal with adolescent angst).
(We’d trade any remake for widescreen HD Avatar.) An older and more futuristic series, Korra follows the newest Avatar 70 years after the events of the Avatar: The Last Airbender-and with an animation style we wish the Avatar creators could just go back and use on Book 1. I wasn’t entertained because I felt like I’d seen it all before.While not much could match Nickelodeon’s first Four Nation journey-the original Avatar: The Last Airbender, featuring the 3-book saga of Aang, Sokka, and Katara-the network’s follow-up series, The Legend of Korra, (from the same team of Bryan Konietzko and Michael DiMartino), gave it a good shot. brother Korra’s preference for brute force over thoughtfulness and spirituality, these are all things that have been done over and over again. But the conflicts we’re seeing here: religious fanaticism versus secularism brother vs. Even Korra managed to go places and have conversations that were virtually unheard of in the medium. What made Avatar: the Last Airbender so great (and what worked best in Korra‘s first season) is that it took risks and was completely different from anything we’d ever seen. I think, ultimately, that’s why the episode fell a little flat for me: it felt tried and true. ‘Religious’ (if it can be called that) fanaticism is hardly a new narrative, and it fits right into the ‘has a point, but going about it completely wrong’ paradigm that this show favours. But because I am cynical and still a bit bummed by how the Amon/Equalists thing played out last season, I spent the entire episode thinking, “Yeah, he’s right, but? There has to be a ‘but,’ that somehow makes him the bad guy even though he has a point.” So when, in the end, the Northern Tribe’s army started marching off their boats, I wasn’t surprised. The sheer number of violent attacks in this episode are proof of that. The conflict itself is interesting: much as the Equalists had a point, so does Korra’s uncle: it’s quite demonstrably factual that the Southern Tribe’s rejection of spirituality has upset the spirits. Maybe they will have learned from last season’s mistakes and do better this time. An Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra-based tabletop RPG has now become so successful that creator Magpie Games has (for the meantime) run out of stretch goals on its Kickstarter campaign. The same thing feels true about the arc between Korra’s father and uncle, although admittedly I am jumping the gun by already being apprehensive about how the writers will handle this conflict.
