The Legend of Korra is an American animated television series created by Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino for Nickelodeon that aired from April 14, 2012 to December 19, 2014. A sequel to Konietzko and DiMartino's previous series Avatar: The Last Airbender, which aired from 2005 to 2008, the series is animated in a style strongly influenced by anime with most of the animation being done by Studio Mir of South Korea and some by Pierrot Co. of Japan.

As with its predecessor, the series is set in a fictional universe in which some people can manipulate, or 'bend', the elements of water, earth, fire, or air. Only one person, the 'Avatar,' can bend all four elements, and is responsible for maintaining balance in the world. The series follows Avatar Korra, the female reincarnation of Aang from the previous series, as she faces political and spiritual unrest in a modernizing world.

The main characters are voiced by Janet Varney, Seychelle Gabriel, David Faustino, P. J. Byrne, J. K. Simmons and Mindy Sterling, and supporting voice actors include Aubrey Plaza, John Michael Higgins, Lisa Edelstein, Steven Blum, Eva Marie Saint, Henry Rollins, Anne Heche and Zelda Williams. Several people involved in the creation of Avatar: The Last Airbender (such as designer Joaquim Dos Santos, writer Tim Hedrick and composers Jeremy Zuckerman and Benjamin Wynn) returned to work on The Legend of Korra. The Legend of Korra ran for 52 episodes, separated into four seasons ('books'). The series has been continued as a comics series.

Like its parent show, The Legend of Korra received critical acclaim, drawing favorable comparisons with the HBO series Game of Thrones and the works of Hayao Miyazaki. It has been praised for its production values, such as its animation quality, art style, and musical score. The series has been nominated for and won awards from the Annie Awards, a Daytime Emmy Award, and a Gracie Award. The series was also praised for addressing sociopolitical issues such as social unrest and terrorism, as well as for going beyond the established boundaries of youth entertainment with respect to issues of race, gender and sexual orientation.

Series overview[edit]

The Legend of Korra was initially conceived as a twelve-episode miniseries. Nickelodeon declined the creators' pitch for an Avatar: The Last Airbender follow-up animated movie based on what then became the three-part comics The Promise, The Search and The Rift, choosing instead to expand Korra to 26 episodes.^[3] The series was expanded further in July 2012 to 52 episodes. These episodes are grouped into four separate seasons ('Books') composed of twelve to fourteen episodes ('Chapters') each, with each season telling a stand-alone story. Beginning with episode 9 of season 3, new episodes were first distributed through the Internet rather than broadcast. The Legend of Korra concluded with the fourth season.^[4]

Setting[edit]

The Legend of Korra is set in the fictional world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, 70 years after the events of that series. The world is separated into four nations: the northern and southern Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads. The distinguishing element of the series is 'bending', the ability of some people to telekinetically manipulate the classical element associated with their nation (water, earth, fire, or air). Bending is carried out by spiritual and physical exercises, portrayed as similar to Chinese martial arts.

Only one person, the 'Avatar', can bend all four elements. Cyclically reincarnating among the world's four nations, the Avatar maintains peace and balance in the world. The Legend of Korra focuses on Avatar Korra, a seventeen-year-old girl from the Southern Water Tribe and the successor of Avatar Aang from The Last Airbender.

The first season is mostly set in Republic City, the capital of the United Republic of Nations, a multicultural sovereign state that emerged from civil conflict in the Fire Nation colonies in the Earth Kingdom after the end of The Last Airbender founded by both Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko. The 1920s-inspired metropolis is described as 'if Manhattan had happened in Asia' by the series' creators,^[5] and its residents are united by their passion for 'pro-bending', a spectator sport in which two teams composed of an earthbender, waterbender, and firebender throw each other out of a ring using bending techniques. Rapid technological growth has displaced the spirituality of bending, and what was considered a renowned martial art in Avatar: The Last Airbender is now commonplace, with benders in Republic City using their abilities to commit crime, compete in spectator sports, and fulfill everyday jobs.^[6] The second season is mostly set in the southern polar region, while the third and fourth seasons take place mostly in the Earth Kingdom and, to a lesser degree, in Republic City.

Synopsis[edit]

The first season, Book One: Air, sees Korra move to Republic City to learn airbending from Tenzin, Avatar Aang's son. She enters the pro-bending league, and befriends the brothers Bolin and Mako, as well as Asami Sato, heiress to Future Industries, a leading engineering corporation. The ambitious politician Tarrlok enlists Korra to fight the anti-bender uprising of the 'Equalists', led by the masked Amon, who strips benders of their abilities. Korra and her friends, aided by police chief Lin Beifong and United Forces General Iroh, unmask Amon as a bloodbender and Tarrlok's brother, ending the Equalists' coup. A spiritual meeting with her predecessor Aang allows Korra to realize her powers and to restore the bending abilities of Amon's victims.

The second season, Book Two: Spirits, begins six months later, with dark spirits terrorizing the seas. Korra turns to her spirit-attuned uncle Unalaq, chief of the Northern Water Tribe, for tutelage, and opens the polar portals to the Spirit World at his direction. Unalaq then seizes power in the Southern Water Tribe by force, starting a civil war in which he is opposed by his brother, Korra's father, Tonraq. Seeking allies against Unalaq, Korra experiences the life of the first Avatar, Wan, who fused his soul with the spirit of light, Raava, to imprison her opponent, the spirit of darkness, Vaatu. Aided by his twin children Eska and Desna, Unalaq frees Vaatu during the Harmonic Convergence, a decamillennial alignment of planets, and unites with him to become a dark Avatar. As Korra fights this figure, her link to the previous Avatars is broken; but with the help of Tenzin's daughter Jinora, she defeats Vaatu and Unalaq, and leaves the spirit portals open, allowing a new coexistence of spirits and humans.

The third season, Book Three: Change, begins two weeks later with nonbenders all over the world obtaining airbending powers as a result of the Harmonic Convergence. As Tenzin, Korra, and her friends recruit them to re-establish the extinct Air Nomads, the newly airbending criminal Zaheer escapes his prison, frees his allies Ghazan, Ming-Hua, and P'Li, and attempts to kidnap the Avatar. This fails thanks to the help of Suyin Beifong, Lin's previously estranged sister. Zaheer and his team – members of the Red Lotus, an anarchic secret society – kill the Earth Queen, throwing her kingdom into chaos, and try to force Korra's surrender by taking the Air Nomads hostage. In the final confrontation, Zaheer's comrades are killed and he is defeated by a giant cyclone led by Jinora. Two weeks later, a weakened, wheelchair-bound Korra watches as Jinora is anointed an airbending master, and Tenzin rededicates the Air Nomads to service to the world.

The final season, Book Four: Balance, is set three years later. Korra slowly recovers from the injuries incurred in the fight with Zaheer, traveling the world alone and haunted by fear. Meanwhile, Suyin's former head of security, Kuvira, reunites the fractured Earth Kingdom with the metalbenders loyal to her, and refuses to release power to the unpopular heir to the throne, Prince Wu. At the head of her new, totalitarian 'Earth Empire', Kuvira seizes Suyin's city of Zaofu and sets her sights on the United Republic, which she claims for her nation. With Toph Beifong's help, Korra frees herself of the remnants of Zaheer's poison, but after losing a duel to Kuvira at Zaofu, she allows Zaheer to help her overcome her fears and fully reconnect with her Avatar Spirit, Raava. When Kuvira attacks Republic City with a giant mecha carrying a spirit-powered superweapon, it takes all the efforts of Korra and her friends, including the inventor Varrick and his assistant Zhu Li, to stop the colossus. Only after Kuvira's weapon blows open a third portal to the Spirit World, destroying much of the city, does she concede defeat. The series ends with the prospect of democracy for the former Earth Kingdom, and with Korra and Asami leaving together for a vacation in the Spirit World.

Cast and characters[edit]

Korra (Janet Varney) is the series' 17-year-old 'headstrong and rebellious' protagonist,^[7] and Aang's reincarnation as the Avatar. Her transformation 'from brash warrior to a spiritual being', according to DiMartino, is a principal theme of the series.^[8] The character was inspired by Bryan Konietzko's 'pretty tough' sister, and by female MMA fighters, notably Gina Carano.^[9][10]

The series focuses on Korra and her friends, sometimes called 'Team Avatar': the bending brothers Mako and Bolin and the non-bender Asami. Mako (David Faustino), the older brother, is a firebender described as 'dark and brooding'^[2][11] The character was named after Mako Iwamatsu, the voice actor for Iroh in the original series. His younger brother Bolin (P. J. Byrne) is an earthbender described as lighthearted, humorous, and 'always [having] a lady on his arm'.^[2][12] Asami Sato (Seychelle Gabriel), the only non-bender among the leading characters, is the daughter of the wealthy industrialist Hiroshi Sato.^[2]

The other main characters are the airbending master Tenzin, one of Aang's grown children (J. K. Simmons). Tenzin's family include his wife Pema (Maria Bamford) and their children Jinora (Kiernan Shipka), Ikki (Darcy Rose Byrnes), Meelo (Logan Wells), and Rohan. Jinora is calm and an avid reader. She is an airbender and joins the main cast since season 2;^[13][14] Ikki is described as 'fun, crazy, and a fast talker';^[14] Meelo is hyperactive; and Rohan is born during the third-to-last episode of Book One; Republic City police chief Lin Beifong (Mindy Sterling) and Korra's animal friends Naga and Pabu (both Dee Bradley Baker, the voice of a number of animals including Appa and Momo in the original series). Pabu was inspired by Futa, a famous standing Japanese red panda.^[15]

The romantic interests of Korra and her companions are less in the foreground than in Avatar, and feature mainly in the first two seasons.^[16] In Book One, Bolin pines for Korra, who is interested in Mako, who dates Asami. By the end of the season, Mako has broken up with Asami and entered a relationship with Korra. This ends around the end of Book Two, during which Bolin suffers from an abusive relationship with the waterbender Eska. In the fourth season, Bolin dates the airbender Opal, while Asami and Korra become closer friends. The series' final scene indicates a romantic connection between them.^[17] Mike DiMartino wrote that the scene 'symbolizes their evolution from being friends to being a couple'.^[18] They both are in a relationship in comics.

Book One: Air features two main adversaries for Korra: the Equalists' masked leader Amon (Steve Blum) who has the power to remove a person's bending-powers,^[2][19] and the ambitious, charismatic politician Tarrlok (Dee Bradley Baker), who resorts to increasingly repressive methods against the Equalists.^[20] Amon's lieutenant is voiced by Lance Henriksen, and Asami's father Hiroshi Sato by Daniel Dae Kim. Sato's character, the self-made founder of Future Industries, was inspired by Theodore Roosevelt and by the Japanese industrialists Keita Goto and Iwasaki Yatarō.^[21] Both Amon and Tarrlok are identified as the sons of mob boss Yakone (Clancy Brown). Spencer Garrett joined the cast as the voice for Raiko, the president of the United Republic. Korra is also supported by General Iroh (Dante Basco, who voiced Zuko in the original series), a member of the United Forces who is described as 'a swashbuckling hero-type guy'.^[22][23] He is named after Iroh, Zuko's uncle in the original series.^[24]

Book Two: Spirits features Tenzin's and Korra's families, including Tenzin's elder siblings Kya (Lisa Edelstein) and Bumi (Richard Riehle) as well as Korra's father Tonraq (James Remar) and mother Senna (Alex McKenna). Tenzin's mother Katara (Eva Marie Saint), a main character of the Avatar: The Last Airbender series, also made recurring appearances in the season. Book 2 also introduces John Michael Higgins as the corrupt businessman and inventor Varrick, with Stephanie Sheh voicing his assistant Zhu Li, along with Korra's uncle Unalaq (Adrian LaTourelle), aided by his twin children Desna (Aaron Himelstein) and Eska (Aubrey Plaza), and Vaatu (Jonathan Adams), the spirit of disorder. The season also explains the Avatar mythos though the first Avatar Wan (Steven Yeun) and Vaatu's polar opposite Raava (April Stewart). Making a few appearances in Books Two and Three, Greg Baldwin reprises Iroh from the previous series. Set six months after the events of the first season, Book Two: Spirits sees Mako as a police officer, Asami in charge of Future Industries, and Bolin leading a new pro-bending team with little success.

The anarchist antagonists introduced in Book Three: Change, the Red Lotus, comprise the new airbender Zaheer (Henry Rollins), the armless waterbender Ming-Hua (Grey DeLisle, who previously voiced a dark spirit^[25]), the combustionbender P'Li (Kristy Wu), and the lavabender Ghazan (Peter Giles). Supporting characters include the Earth Queen Hou-Ting (Jayne Taini), the retired Fire Lord Zuko (Bruce Davison), Lin's half-sister Suyin Beifong (Anne Heche), and her captain of the guards Kuvira (Zelda Williams). New airbenders are also introduced in the season including the young thief Kai (Skyler Brigmann) and Suyin's daughter Opal (Alyson Stoner), both of Earth Kingdom origins and the love interests of Jinora and Bolin respectively. Jim Meskimen voices a Republic City merchant and later airbender named Daw, as well as Suyin's husband, the architect Baatar.

The final season, Book Four: Balance, features Kuvira as Korra's antagonist at the head of an army bent on uniting the Earth Kingdom. The cast is also joined by Sunil Malhotra as Prince Wu, the vain heir to the Earth Kingdom throne, and Todd Haberkorn as Baatar Jr., Suyin's estranged son who is Kuvira's fiancé and second-in-command. Philece Sampler voices the aged Toph Beifong, another returning character from Avatar whose young adult version was voiced by Kate Higgins in Books 1 and 3. April Stewart was cast as Zuko's daughter, Fire Lord Izumi, in a minor role.^[26]

Production[edit]

Influences[edit]

The art design of Republic City, described as 'if Manhattan had happened in Asia,' was inspired by the 1920s and incorporates influences from American and European architecture from that time period.^[5] Elements of film noir and steampunk also influenced the city's art concept. The design for the metalbending police force is based on 1920s New York City police uniforms, crossed with samurai armor.^[27]

The fighting styles employed by characters in the prequel show Avatar: The Last Airbender were derived from different distinct styles of Chinese martial arts.^[28] Set 70 years later, the fighting style in the multicultural Republic City has modernized and blended,^[29][30] with the creators incorporating three primary styles: traditional Chinese martial arts, mixed martial arts, and tricking. The pro-bending sport introduced in the series was inspired by mixed martial arts (MMA) tournaments.^[27][31]

Chinese martial arts instructor Sifu Kisu consulted on Avatar: The Last Airbender, and returned as a consultant for the fight scenes in The Legend of Korra. MMA fighters Jeremy Humphries and Mac Danzig were credited with 'providing a lot of the moves you'll see in the Probending arena,' and Steve Harada and Jake Huang provided the stylized flips and acrobatics of 'tricking' to the series' fighting style.^[31]

Development[edit]

The Legend of Korra was co-created and produced by Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino (together referred to as 'Bryke' by fans,^[32] in reference to 'shipping' naming conventions) at Nickelodeon Animation Studios in Burbank, California. To illustrate the length of the production process (about 10 to 12 months per episode)^[33] and the overlap of the various phases, Konietzko wrote in July 2013 that their team was already developing the storyboards for the first episode of Book 4 while the last episodes of Book 2 were not yet finished.^[34]

Production of the series was announced at the annual Comic-Con in San Diego on July 22, 2010. It was originally due for release in October 2011.^[35][36] Tentatively titled Avatar: Legend of Korra at the time, it was intended to be a twelve-episode^[37]mini series set in the same fictional universe as the original show,^[36] but seventy years later.^[38] In 2011, the title was changed to The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra, and again in March 2012 to The Legend of Korra. The premiere was eventually delayed to April 14, 2012.^[37] Animation work was mostly done by the South Korean animation studio Studio Mir.^{[citation needed]}

According to animation director Yoo Jae-myung, Nickelodeon was initially reluctant to approve the series and suspended production because, unlike in almost all American animated series, the protagonist was a girl.^[39] Conventional wisdom, according to Konietzko, had it that 'girls will watch shows about boys, but boys won't watch shows about girls'. The creators eventually persuaded the channel's executives to change their mind. Konietzko related that in test screenings, boys said that Korra being a girl did not matter to them: 'They just said she was awesome.'^[40]

The creators wrote all of the episodes of the first season themselves, omitting 'filler episodes' to allow for a concise story.^[41] Once the series was expanded from its original 12-episode schedule to 26 and then to 52, more writers were brought in so that the creators could focus on design work.^[42]Joaquim Dos Santos and Ryu Ki-Hyun, who worked on the animation and design of the original series, also became involved with creating The Legend of Korra, as is storyboarder Ian Graham. Jeremy Zuckerman and Benjamin Wynn, who composed the soundtrack for the original series as 'The Track Team,' also returned to score The Legend of Korra.^[43]

The second season, Book Two: Spirits, premiered on September 13, 2013 and concluded on November 22, 2013. It consists of fourteen episodes. Animation work was done by the South Korean animation studio Studio Mir as well as the Japanese animation studio Pierrot.^[44] Studio Mir was expected to solely work on Book 2, but executive director Jae-myung Yoo decided that Studio Mir would animate The Boondocks instead because the animation process was less rigorous. Pierrot was eventually called in to fill the void and animate Book 2. According to Jae-myung Yoo, Studio Mir was later contacted and re-asked to animate Book 2. Yoo feared that, if Book 2 failed, Studio Mir and Korean animators would have their reputations tarnished for Pierrot's failures. Consequently, Studio Mir accepted the offer and worked alongside Pierrot.^[45]

The third season, Book Three: Change, aired its first three episodes on June 27, 2014, soon after some episodes were leaked online.^[46] It takes place two weeks after the events of Book Two: Spirits. Episodes nine to thirteen were streamed online, rather than being broadcast as a television program.^[47]

Book Four: Balance, the final season, was produced in parallel to the previous two seasons. The crew, at one point, worked on approximately 30 episodes at the same time: post-production for season 2, production for season 3 and pre-production for season 4.^[48] Some production steps, such as color correction and retakes, continued up until the date of the series finale, December 19, 2014.^[49] Season 4 started online distribution a few months after the third season's finale on October 3, 2014. After Nickelodeon cut the season's budget by the amount required for one episode, DiMartino and Konietzko decided to include a clip show, which reuses previously produced animation, as episode 8 ('Remembrances') instead of dismissing many of the creative staff.^[50] Studio Mir was helped by its companion studio, a subunit called Studio Reve, while working on Book 4.^[51][52][53]

Concerning the development of the much-discussed final scene intended to show the friends Korra and Asami becoming a romantic couple, Bryan Konietzko explained that at first he and DiMartino did not give the idea much weight, assuming they would not be able to get approval for portraying their relationship. But during the production of the finale they decided to test that assumption, approached the network and found them supportive up to a certain limit. They decided to change the final scene from Korra and Asami only holding hands to also facing each other in a pose referencing the marriage scene a few minutes prior.^[54]

Animation style[edit]

The Legend of Korra was produced mainly as traditional animation, with most frames drawn on paper in South Korea by the animators at Studio Mir and scanned for digital processing. Each episode comprises about 15,000 drawings.^[55] The series makes occasional use of computer-generated imagery for complex scenes or objects, most noticeably in the animations of the pro-bending arena or the mecha-suits of the later seasons.

While The Legend of Korra was produced in the United States and therefore not a work of Japanese animation ('anime') in the strict sense, The Escapist magazine argued that the series is so strongly influenced by anime that it would otherwise easily be classified as such: its protagonists (a superpowered heroine, her group of talented, supporting friends, a near-impervious villain who wants to reshape the world), its themes (family, friendship, romance, fear, and death) and the quality of its voice acting as well as the visual style are similar to those of leading anime series such as Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Bleach or Trigun.^[56] A notable difference from such series is the absence of lengthy opening and ending sequences set to J-pop songs;^[56] to save broadcast time, The Legend of Korra's openings and endings last only a few seconds. The series mostly abstains from using the visual tropes characteristic of anime, but does occasionally use exaggerated facial expressions to highlight emotions for comic effect.

As in Avatar, the series adds to its Asian aesthetic by presenting all text that appears in its fictional world in traditional Chinese characters, without translating it. For example, on the 'Wanted' posters seen in the episode 'The Stakeout', the names of the protagonists are written as 寇拉 (Korra), 馬高 (Mako) and 愽林 (Bolin).

Music[edit]

The Legend of Korra is set to music by Jeremy Zuckerman, who previously wrote the music for Avatar: The Last Airbender with Benjamin Wynn. For The Legend of Korra, Zuckerman is the sole composer while Wynn is the lead sound designer; the two collaborate with Foley artist Aran Tanchum and showrunner Mike DiMartino on the soundscape of the series.^[57] Konietzko and DiMartino's concept for the score was to blend traditional Chinese music with early jazz. On that basis, Zuckerman composed a score combining elements of Dixieland, traditional Chinese music and Western orchestration. It is performed mainly by a string sextet and various Chinese solo instruments,^[58] including a dizi (flute), paigu (drums), a guqin and a Mongolian matouqin.^[59]

A soundtrack CD, The Legend of Korra: Original Music from Book One, was published on July 16, 2013.^[60] Music from Korra and Avatar was also played in concert at the PlayFest festival in Málaga, Spain in September 2014.^[61] The series's soundtrack was nominated as best TV soundtrack for the 2013 GoldSpirit Awards.^[62]

Soundtrack[edit]

On July 16, 2013, Nickelodeon and Sony Music Entertainment's Legacy Recordings released The Legend of Korra: Original Music from Book One. To date, it is the only soundtrack officially released for either The Legend of Korra or Avatar: The Last Airbender.

After the first seven episodes aired to low ratings, Nickelodeon removed the last five episodes from its broadcast schedule. The remainder of the episodes were then distributed online via Amazon Video, Google Play, Xbox Video and Hulu as well as the Nickelodeon site and apps.^[63]The Escapist compared The Legend of Korra to Firefly as 'a Friday night genre series with a loyal fan following built up from previous works by the creators that is taken off the air after the network fails to advertise it properly or broadcast episodes in a logical manner.'^[1] Series creator Michael DiMartino said that the series' move to online distribution reflected a 'sea change' in the industry: While Korra did not fit in well with Nickelodeon's other programming, the series did extremely well online, with the season 2 finale having been Nickelodeon's biggest online event.^[64]

The fourth season (Book Four: Balance) began distribution in the United States on October 3, 2014 through Nick.com, Amazon Video, iTunes and Hulu.^[65] Beginning on November 28, 2014, with episode 9, the fourth season was again broadcast on Fridays on Nicktoons.^[66]

Reception[edit]

Ratings[edit]

The series premiere averaged 4.5 million viewers, ranking it as basic cable's number-one kids' show and top animated program for the week with total viewers. The Legend of Korra also ranks as the network's most-watched animated series premiere in three years.^[84]

Book One: Air drew an average of 3.8 million viewers per episode. This was the highest audience total for an animated series in the United States in 2012.^[85]

Book Two: Spirits premiered with 2.6 million viewers. Suggested explanations for the reduced number of broadcast viewers were: the long period between seasons, a change in time slot (Friday evening instead of Saturday morning), the increased availability of digital download services, and generally reduced ratings for the Nickelodeon channel.^[86]

Book Three: Change aired on short notice in June 2014 after Spanish-language versions of some episodes were leaked on the Internet. The season premiered with 1.5 million viewers.^[46] After declining TV ratings in the third season, Nickelodeon stopped airing the series on television and shifted its distribution to online outlets, where the show had proven to be much more successful.^[64][87]

Critical response[edit]

The Legend of Korra received critical acclaim for its production values, the quality of its writing, its challenging themes and its transgression of the conventions of youth entertainment. On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the third season has a rating of 100% positive reviews, based on 5 reviews, with an average rating of 8.5/10.^[88]

Style and production values[edit]

David Hinckley of the New York Daily News wrote that the 'visually striking' series is 'full of little tricks and nuances that only true fans will notice and savor, but nothing prevents civilians from enjoying it as well.'^[89] Writing for Vulture, Matt Patches highlighted the second season's loose, handheld-style cinematography – challenging for an animated series – and the 'weird, wonderful', wildly imagined spirits fought by Korra; 'a Kaiju parade with beasts that mirror velociraptors'.^[90] Max Nicholson for IGN described the third season as 'easily the show's most consistent season to date, delivering complex themes, excellent storylines and unmatched production values.'^[91] And Oliver Sava, for The A.V. Club, characterized it as a 'truly magnificent season of television, delivering loads of character development, world building, socio-political commentary, and heart-racing action, all presented with beautifully smooth animation and impeccable voice acting'.^[92]

Writing and themes[edit]

Before the first season's finale, Scott Thill of Wired hailed The Legend of Korra as 'the smartest cartoon on TV,' able to address adults' spiritual and sociopolitical concerns while presenting an 'alternately riveting and hilarious ride packed with fantasy naturalism, steampunk grandeur, kinetic conflicts, sci-fi weaponry and self-aware comedy.'^[93] In The Atlantic, Julie Beck characterized the series as 'some of the highest quality fantasy of our time', appreciating it for combining nuanced social commentary with Avatar: The Last Airbender's 'warmth, whimsy, and self-referential wit'.^[94] Brian Lowry of Variety felt that the series 'represents a bit more ambitious storytelling for older kids, and perhaps a few adults with the geek gene.'^[95]

At TV.com, Noel Kirkpatrick commented favorably on how the second season of 'one of television's best programs' handled the necessary quantity of exposition, and on its introduction of the theme of conflict between spiritualism and secularism.^[96] Covering the third season, Scott Thill at Salon described Korra as one of the toughest, most complex female characters on TV, despite being in a cartoon, and considered that the 'surreal, lovely sequel' to Avatar 'lastingly and accessibly critiques power, gender, extinction, spirit and more — all wrapped up in a kinetic 'toon as lyrical and expansive as anything dreamt up by Hayao Miyazaki or George Lucas'.^[97] David Levesley at The Daily Beast recommended the series to those looking for 'beautifully shot and well-written fantasy on television' after the end of Game of Thrones's most recent season, noting that in both series 'the fantastical and the outlandish are carefully balanced with human relationships and political intrigue'.^[98]

Several reviewers noted the sociopolitical issues that, unusually for an animated series on a children's channel, run through The Legend of Korra. According to Forbes, by telling 'some of the darkest, most mature stories' ever animated, The Legend of Korra has created a new genre, 'the world's first animated television drama'.^[99] Thill proposed that the Equalists' cause in season 1 reflected the recent appearance of the Occupy movement, and DiMartino responded that though the series was written before Occupy Wall Street began, he agreed that the show similarly depicted 'a large group of people who felt powerless up against a relatively small group of people in power.'^[100] Beck wrote that The Legend of Korra used magic to illustrate 'the growing pains of a modernizing world seeing the rise of technology and capitalism, and taking halting, jerky steps toward self-governance', while portraying no side of the conflict as entirely flawless.^[94] Alyssa Rosenberg praised the show for examining issues of class in an urban setting, and a guest post in her column argued that the struggle between Korra and Amon's Equalists reflected some of the ideas of John Rawls' 'luck egalitarianism', praising the series for tackling moral issues of inequality and redistribution.^[101][102]

Writing for The Escapist, Mike Hoffman noted how the series respected its younger viewers by explicitly showing, but also giving emotional weight to the death of major characters, including 'one of the most brutal and sudden deaths in children's television' in the case of P'Li in season 3. By portraying Korra's opponents not as stereotypical villains, but as human beings with understandable motivations corrupted by an excess of zeal, the series trusted in viewers to be able to 'resolve the dissonance between understanding someone's view and disagreeing with their methods'. And, Hoffman wrote, by showing Korra to suffer from 'full-on depression' at the end of the third season, and devoting much of the fourth to her recovery, the series helped normalize mental health issues, a theme generally unaddressed in children's television, which made them less oppressive for the viewers.^[32]

Gender, race and sexual orientation[edit]

Summing up Book Four, Joanna Robinson for Vanity Fair described it as 'the most subversive television event of the year', noting how much of the season and series pushed the boundaries of what is nominally children's television by 'breaking racial, sexual, and political ground': It featured a brave, strong, brown-skinned female lead character as well as a bevy of diverse female characters of all ages, focused on challenging issues such as weapons of mass destruction, PTSD and fascism, and was infused with an Eastern spirituality based on tenets such as balance and mindfulness.^[103] Levesley also highlighted the 'many examples of well-written women, predominantly of color' in the series.^[98] Oliver Sava at The A.V. Club noted that the series had 'consistently delivered captivating female figures'; he considered it to be first and foremost about women, and about how they relate to each other 'as friends, family, and rivals in romance and politics'.^[17]

Moreover, according to Robinson, the series' final scene, in which Korra and Asami gaze into each other's eyes in a shot mirroring the composition of Avatar's final moments in which Aang and Katara kiss, 'changed the face of TV' by going further than any other work of children's television in depicting same-sex relationships^[103] – an assessment shared by reviewers for TV.com,^[104]The A.V. Club,^[17]USA Today,^[105]IGN,^[106]Moviepilot^[107] and The Advocate.^[108] Mike Hoffman, on the other hand, felt that Korra and Asami's relationship was not intended as particularly subversive, but as something the writers trusted younger viewers, now often familiar with same-sex relationships, to be mature enough to understand.^[32] Megan Farokhmanesh of Polygon wrote that by portraying Korra and Asami as bisexual, the series even avoided the error of assuming sexual orientation, as many other TV series did, to be a strict divide between 'gay' and 'straight'.^[109] In 2018, io9 ranked the series' final scene #55 on its list of 'The 100 Most Important Pop Culture Moments of the Last 10 Years'.^[110]

Accolades[edit]

The first season of The Legend of Korra received numerous accolades. It received two nominations for the 2012 Annie Awards; Bryan Konietzko, Joaquim Dos Santos Ryu Ki-Hyun, Kim Il Kwang and Kim Jin Sun were nominated in the category of Best Character Design in an Animated Television Production, and the first two episodes were nominated in the category of Best Animated Television Production for Children.^[111] The series was also nominated for the 'Outstanding Children's Program' award from among the 2012 NAACP Image Awards, which 'celebrates the accomplishments of people of color'.^[112] IGN editors and readers awarded the series the 'IGN People's Choice Award' and the 'Best TV Animated Series' award in 2012, and it was also nominated for 'Best TV Series' and 'Best TV Hero' for Korra.^[113] The series also took second place (after My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic) in a TV.com readers' poll for the 'Best Animated Series' of 2012.^[114] The first season also received three Daytime Emmy Award nominations, winning in the category of 'Outstanding Casting For an Animated Series or Special.'

The second season received fewer awards and total nominations than the first; it was nominated for three Annie Awards in 2014, winning in the category of 'Outstanding Achievement, Production Design in an Animated TV/Broadcast Production.' It was nominated for two more IGN awards, being nominated for 'Best TV Animated Series' and winning the 'IGN People's Choice Award' for the second year in a row.^[115]

The third and fourth seasons, combined into one entry, were nominated for six IGN awards, winning the 'People's Choice Award' for the third time in a row, as well as 'Best TV Animated Series' for the second time, 'People's Choice Award for Best TV Episode' for Korra Alone, and 'People's Choice Award for Best TV Series' for the first time.^[116] The third and fourth seasons were nominated for two Annie Awards; 'Best Animated TV/Broadcast Production for Children's Audience,' and winning 'Outstanding Achievement, Storyboarding in an Animated TV/Broadcast Production.'

Fandom[edit]

Like its predecessor series, The Legend of Korra has a broad and active fandom, including on social media and at fan conventions. Most fans are young adults, according to The Escapist, but many are children and younger teenagers.^[32]

According to Merrill Barr writing for Forbes, few series 'boast as vocal a fan base as The Legend of Korra', including such popular series as Game of Thrones and Orphan Black.^[120] In January 2015, after the series ended, the media reported on a fan petition to have Netflix produce a series in the Avatar universe garnering more than 10,000 signatures.^[121]

Influence[edit]

The A.V. Club and io9 noted that the live-action TV series Warrior, for which NBC ordered a pilot in early 2015, has a premise almost identical to that of The Legend of Korra: It is to be about 'a damaged heroine' who 'works undercover with physical and spiritual guidance from a mysterious martial arts master to bring down an international crime lord' in a 'contemporary multicultural and sometimes magical milieu'.^[122][123]

Other media[edit]

Comics[edit]

The Legend of Korra is continued in a graphic novel trilogy series written by DiMartino and published by Dark Horse Comics. The first trilogy, The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars, was drawn by Irene Koh and takes place immediately following the series finale, focusing on Korra and Asami's relationship in the aftermath of Kuvira's attack. The first volume was published on July 26, 2017,^[124] the second volume was published on January 17, 2018,^[125] and the third and final volume was published on August 22, 2018.^[126] A sequel, The Legend of Korra: Ruins of the Empire, is scheduled to be published in 2019.^[127]

The Legend Of Korra Full Episodes

Games[edit]

Activision published two video games based on the series in October 2014. The first, titled only The Legend of Korra, is a third-person beat 'em up game for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC. Despite the developer PlatinumGames's reputation for action games, the game received mixed reviews. The second game, The Legend of Korra: A New Era Begins, is a turn-based strategy game developed by Webfoot Technologies for the Nintendo 3DS. Nickelodeon also makes several Adobe Flash-based browser games based on The Legend of Korra available on their website.^[139]

IDW Publishing is to release a series of board games based on The Legend of Korra. The first will be an adaptation of the series' pro-bending game; it is to be financed through Kickstarter and released in fall 2017.^[140]

Merchandise[edit]

A 12-inch figurine of Lin Beifong, as well as a graphic t-shirt, was announced at the 2015 San Diego Comic-Con.^[141]Mondo released a figurine of Korra and Asami holding hands in March 2018.^[142]

Spin-offs[edit]

Web series[edit]

In 2013, before the premiere of Book Two: Spirits, Nickelodeon released three animated short videos online titled Republic City Hustle that cover part of the lives of Mako and Bolin as street hustlers before the events of the first season.^[143] They are written by Tim Hedrick, one of the writers for Book Two: Spirits, and designed by Evon Freeman.^[144]

Possible film[edit]

In August 2012, Variety reported that Paramount Animation, a sister company of Nickelodeon, was starting development of several animated movies, with budgets of around US$100 million. According to Variety, a possible candidate for one of the films was The Legend of Korra.^[145] Series creator Bryan Konietzko later wrote on his blog that no such movie was in development.^[146] In July 2013, he said that he and DiMartino were far too busy working on multiple seasons of the TV series in parallel to consider developing a film adaptation at that time.^[147]
