Legend of Korra Book 3 Chapter 8 review - The Terror Within

Before I start the next review, I’d like to say SCREW YOU NICKELODEON. Advertising for Korra started a mere 2 weeks before its air-date, and the air-date itself wasn’t revealed until a week later, not surprisingly ratings haven’t been very good (if I had a penny for every book 3 post I’ve seen through various blogs saying ‘Korra book 3 is on? I didn’t know’ I’d be quite rich)

On top of that, Nickelodeon went to advertise that their episodes would not be available online (at least for a few days) except now, they’re only going to be available online. I understand that ratings online are very good for Korra, and Korra isn’t your usual type of show (because it’s good) but seriously, you pull it mid-book! THAT’S DUMB

OK, let’s get started with the last episode to air offline

Legend of Korra Book 3 Chapters 1-3 review - A breath of fresh air/Rebirth/The Earth Queen

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
