See also: 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 manipulate the classical element associated with their nation (, or ).
Bending is carried out by spiritual and physical exercises, portrayed as similar to. Only one person, the ', can bend all four elements. Cyclically among the world's four nations, the Avatar maintains peace and balance in the world.
The Legend of Korra focuses on Avatar, a seventeen-year-old girl from the Southern Water Tribe and the successor of Avatar 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 after the end of The Last Airbender founded by both Avatar Aang and Fire Lord.
The 1920s-inspired metropolis is described as 'if had happened in Asia' by the series' creators, 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. 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 The first season, sees Korra move to Republic City to learn airbending from, Avatar 's son. She enters the pro-bending league, and befriends the brothers and, as well as, 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, 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, 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 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 – kill the Earth Queen, throwing her kingdom into chaos, and try to force Korra's surrender by taking the Air Nomads hostage, including Suyin's daughter Opal. In the final confrontation, Zaheer's comrades are killed and he is captured by the Air Nomads 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, 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 '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, Raava. When Kuvira attacks Republic City with a giant 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. Concept art of Korra overlooking Republic City, released after the announcement of the series The Legend of Korra was co-created and produced by and (together referred to as 'Bryke' by fans, in reference to ' naming conventions) at Nickelodeon Animation Studios in. To illustrate the length of the production process (about 10 to 12 months per episode) 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. Production of the series was announced at the annual in on July 22, 2010. It was originally due for release in October 2011. Tentatively titled Avatar: Legend of Korra at the time, it was intended to be a twelve-episode set in the same as the original show, but seventy years later.
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. Animation work was mostly done by the South Korean animation studio. 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. 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, boys said that Korra being a girl did not matter to them: 'They just said she was awesome.' The creators wrote all of the episodes of the first season themselves, omitting ' episodes' to allow for a concise story. 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. 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. And, who composed the soundtrack for the original series as 'The Track Team,' also returned to score The Legend of Korra.
The second season, 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 as well as the Japanese animation studio.
Studio Mir was expected to solely work on Book 2, but executive director Jae-myung Yoo decided that Studio Mir would animate 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. The third season, aired its first three episodes on June 27, 2014, soon after some episodes were leaked online. 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., 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.
Some production steps, such as color correction and retakes, continued up until the date of the series finale, December 19, 2014. 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, which reuses previously produced animation, as episode 8 ('Remembrances') instead of dismissing many of the creative staff. Studio Mir was helped by its companion studio, a subunit called Studio Reve, while working on Book 4. 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. Animation style The Legend of Korra was produced mainly as, 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. The series makes occasional use of 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 (') in the strict sense, 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,.
A notable difference from such series is the absence of lengthy opening and ending sequences set to songs; to save broadcast time, The Legend of Korra 's openings and endings last only a few seconds. The series mostly abstains from using the 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, 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 The Legend of Korra is set to music by, who previously wrote the music for Avatar: The Last Airbender with.
For The Legend of Korra, Zuckerman is the sole composer while Wynn is the lead; the two collaborate with artist Aran Tanchum and showrunner Mike DiMartino on the soundscape of the series. Konietzko and DiMartino's concept for the score was to blend with. On that basis, Zuckerman composed a score combining elements of, traditional Chinese music and Western orchestration. It is performed mainly by a and various Chinese solo instruments, including a, (drums), a and a Mongolian. A soundtrack CD, was published on July 16, 2013. Music from Korra and Avatar was also played in concert at the PlayFest festival in, Spain in September 2014. The series's soundtrack was nominated as best TV soundtrack for the 2013.

Style and production values David Hinckley of the 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.' Writing for, 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 parade with beasts that mirror '. 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.' And Oliver Sava, for, 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'.
Writing and themes Before the first season's finale, Scott Thill of 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, grandeur, kinetic conflicts, sci-fi weaponry and self-aware comedy.' In, Julie Beck characterized the series as 'some of the highest quality fantasy of our time', appreciating it for combining nuanced social commentary with 's 'warmth, whimsy, and self-referential wit'. Brian Lowry of felt that the series 'represents a bit more ambitious storytelling for older kids, and perhaps a few adults with the geek gene.' At, 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. Covering the third season, Scott Thill at 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 or '.
David Levesley at recommended the series to those looking for 'beautifully shot and well-written fantasy on television' after the end of 's most recent season, noting that in both series 'the fantastical and the outlandish are carefully balanced with human relationships and political intrigue'. Several reviewers noted the 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'. Thill proposed that the Equalists' cause in season 1 reflected the recent appearance of the, and DiMartino responded that though the series was written before 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.' 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 ', while portraying no side of the conflict as entirely flawless. 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 ' ', praising the series for tackling moral issues of inequality and redistribution.
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 ' 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. Gender, race and sexual orientation. The series' final shot, intended to show Asami and Korra becoming a romantic couple, was seen as pushing the boundaries of representation in children's TV. Summing up Book Four, Joanna Robinson for 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, and, and was infused with an Eastern spirituality based on tenets such as balance and mindfulness.
Levesley also highlighted the 'many examples of well-written women, predominantly of color' in the series. Oliver Sava at 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'. 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 – an assessment shared by reviewers for, The A.V. 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. Megan Farokhmanesh of wrote that by portraying Korra and Asami as, the series even avoided the error of assuming, as many other TV series did, to be a strict divide between 'gay' and 'straight'. In 2018, ranked the series' final scene #55 on its list of 'The 100 Most Important Pop Culture Moments of the Last 10 Years'.
