Editorial - What I want to see in The Legend of Korra book 4


Korra book 3 is done. And book 4 is already on its way. Whether it'll be Nick.com exclusive as the latter half of book 3 was, remains to be seen, but probably

But unlike most TV retrospective, we won't be looking back today, but looking forward. This is a list of things I want to see in book 4, beware, there will be spoilers from book 3, book 2, book 1, Avatar: The Last Airbender and the comics

A show that created an interesting lore and told a compelling story with interesting characters.

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
