When it
comes to animation. I've always said the best shows are those that can appeal
to children, but don't talk down to adults. A perfect example of that is
Avatar: The Last Airbender (not to be confused with the films Avatar or The
Last Airbender, the cr*ppy movie based on the show). A show that created an
interesting lore and told a compelling story with interesting characters.
The Legend
of Korra takes the lore of the show, and places it in a modern setting. So as
well as Dragons and Sky Bison we have air ships and the radio (things that
while they existed, they were not commonplace in Avatar: The Last Airbender.)
Avatar: Legend of Korra has the disadvantage that they need to tell
self-contained stories over much shorter book lengths, which does get in the
way of story-telling and character development
I will do
reviews of books 1 and 2 of Korra later on, but suffice it to say, they had
their ups and downs, but book 2 left things an interesting position going into
book 3
A few weeks
ago, several episodes of book 3 were leaked, this resulted in the release date
for book 3 being pushed up to last Friday, when the first 3 episodes would be aired.
So without further ado, let’s get into episodes 1-3 of the Legend of Korra book
3, change
