The Legend of Korra
AlthoughThe Legend of Korrais still a great serial and a wonderful sequel that fleshed out the mankind ofAvatar : The Last Airbendereven more , it still is n’t as estimable as its herald in many way that makes it often times fall forgetful of the gamey expectation put upon it . However , the subsequence does have the prequel baffle in a very braggart and important way of life , showing that the serial was a step up in a few ways .
incarnation : The Last Airbenderhad a singular main opposer : Fire Lord Ozai . This storytelling method acting is very uncouth , as having a singular main expectant regretful give way the tarradiddle a much clearer finish for the protagonists , as well as giving most of the direction to this major obstacle . what is more , the spectator find a mother wit of intimidation and intensity when a story hones in on that one villain , andAvatar : The Last Airbenderdid exactly that .
Legend of Korra Blessed Fans With Multiple Amazing Villains
The Series Produced All-Time Antagonists
The caveat to this approach is that there is a big disparity in the quality of the independent opponent and the secondary ones . While the serial manage to craft a perhaps even moreamazing villain in Azula , those two are the most notable antagonist in the series , with the respite being largely forgettable .
The Legend of Korratook a unlike attack to its adversary , with each book having a different main scoundrel that Korra has to take down . While it is n’t as long - term focalize as the prequel , the series managed to pull up it off , giving buff multiple amazing and unique villainsto push the agonist like never before . They were varied , interesting , and all challenge Korra in very dissimilar way . Each time of year have a different overarching villain made them all exciting and memorable .
Iroh ’s connection to the spirit world in Avatar : The Last Airbender might have help him and Zuko cross Aang and his Quaker so closely in time of year 1 .
One advantage of having such an unbelievable cast of villains is that Korra always had to conform to novel threats , never really stick a moment of reprieve . watcher witness her being perpetually push to her limits and , true to her character , she struggle but ultimately emerged much stronger . While Aang faced his share of terrifying enemy , The Legend of Korradid a better job picture how the baddie relentlessly excruciate the champion without giving her a break .
Amon nearly erase her bending abilities , Kuvira easily overpowered her in front of hundreds , Zaheer restrained her with effortless ease , and Unalaq attempted to strip her of her Avatar position . Throughout all of this , Korra endured tremendous rigor and grew vastly as a result .
Korra’s Antagonists Had Much More Depth
The villain inThe Legend of Korrawere much more nuanced and interesting than in the prequel , and the dynamic they had with Korra add up a set of deepness . Aang ’s family relationship with Ozai was comparatively lacking compared to Korra ’s kinship with her antagonists . The baddie had a much more challenging tie - in with Korra , and this is why her fights were so intense and emotional . Zaheer pushed her and forced her to wonder her own nonesuch , as she was one of the cog in the system that he want to take down .
Amon and Korra were plump out to battle , as each represented the antithesis of the other . Kuvira ’s philosophy or ruling with a strong clenched fist contrast very well with Korra’sgentle glide slope to leadership , and seeing their friendship turn incompatible , among other reasons , cause this possibly Korra ’s best moral force in the serial publication . Unalaq ’s thirstiness for the spiritual realm forced Korra to at last admit the other kingdom and finally restore order between the human and religious realms . Korra ’s villain made her a fabulous character and challenge her not just physically but also ideologically , resulting in awing delineation and development on both end .
The next instalment in Avatar : The Last Airbender is poised to make Korra more dissentious than ever , and she deserves far better than that .

what is more , the villain were not as black and lily-white as in the previous installment , but instead pose viewers with moral dilemmas with their ambiguity . The Legend of Korra ’s more fledged approach to its antagonists made the series more complex as a whole , leave unbelievable profundity and nuance that leaves buff run afoul . The villains are n’t cartoonishly malevolent but alternatively have naturalistic stemma and motivations , and at time , they are even sympathetic , which makes them some of the series ' most popular graphic symbol .
Korra’s World Was Made More Interesting By The Antagonists
The Villains Fleshed Out The World Even More
Another capital matter the villains inThe Legend of Korradid was soma out the world and traditional knowledge , as well as increase the political intrigue , make the already full-bodied franchise even more interesting . The Last Airbender did this , but not on the level of its subsequence . For example , Book 1 explore the animosity and gall that non - benders had , and the injustice they faced from the hoi polloi bless with superpower , leading to Amon and the Equalists .
Book 2 was even more interesting as it expanded on the Spirit World and showed the backstory of Avatar Wan , Vaatu and Raava . This was monumental in the enfranchisement , as it gave fans a vindicated vision of the role and weight of the Avatar theatrical role , as well as thrive on an unexplored part of the traditional knowledge .
This spinoff of Avatar: The Last Airbender follows the titular Korra, the new generation’s Avatar and reincarnation of Aang. As an Avatar, Korra can bend all four elements, and the show follows her adventure through the difficulties in a rapidly growing world.
Book 4 mainly analyze the politics of a world in crisis and how it led to the birth of an radical - flag-waving authoritarian in Kuvira . Kuvira point that any body politic is capable of being the aggressor , not just the Fire Nation , as her unswerving authoritarianism direct to a failed intrusion of Republic City as well as indoctrination , propaganda , censoring , and authoritarianism in the Earth Nation .
All this is n’t to say thatAvatar : The Last Airbenderhad a spoiled cast of opposer , far from it . They were amazing in their own right and served their purpose very well , butThe Legend of Korrasimply had a stronger and more nuanced baddie cast of characters that heightened the serial to incredible highs and challenged Korra very well . From the intimidation factor , their interesting philosophies and goal to the conclusions , if there ’s one thingThe Legend of Korrahas , the amazing prequel beat , it is this .
