She has to make life-and-death calls on how to handle crises and when to use military force versus negotiation. Korra is a smart, independent woman of color who loves her magical skills and has been tasked with keeping peace when her world is on the edge of civil war. I’ve been holding out hope for Korra despite warning signs that the show would revolve entirely around Korra’s love life, but the show keeps getting more and more ridiculous. Legend of Korra is a spinoff of the wildly successful show Avatar: The Last Airbender, which took a few episodes to hit its stride but wound up being an incredibly rich and complex show about young people fighting a war (then came the awful movie, which is a whole other story). The animated Nickelodeon series follows the adventures of Korra, a magical “Avatar” who has the power to “bend” all elements-earth, water, air, and fire-as well as connect to the spirit world. I wanted so badly for Legend of Korra to be good.
