Assembled by Hunter Williams, February 2025
Interaction Rating: 3 / 5 (interaction with the set is okay, but only with help from an adult)
Premise: Taking place 70 years after the events of "Avatar: The Last Airbender," this story follows the adventures of the Avatar after Aang - a passionate, rebellious, and fearless teenage girl from the Southern Water Tribe named Korra. With three of the four elements under her belt (Earth, Water, and Fire), Korra seeks to master the final element, Air. Her quest leads her to the epicenter of the modern "Avatar" world, Republic City—a metropolis fueled by steampunk technology. It is a virtual melting pot where benders and non-benders from all nations live and thrive. However, Korra discovers that Republic City is plagued by crime as well as a growing anti-bending revolution that threatens to rip it apart. Under the tutelage of Aang's son, Tenzin, Korra begins her airbending training while dealing with the dangers at large.
Favorite Moment: The couple appreciates that The Legend of Korra exists in the same universe and has some of the same characters (albeit much older) as in Avatar: The Last Airbender. However, the show also has meaningful differences, such as different villains in each season, rather than one villain that the Avatar must fight over multiple seasons. It also has a darker tone, with some of the villains, such as Amon, who leads an anti-bending coalition and possesses the power to strip people of their bending abilities. In many ways, it's a more grown-up and terrifying show than Avatar was. Hunter and Sarah were both amused by Toph, one of the original characters in Avatar, who also appears in Korra, when she bullies Korra for her subpar earthbending skills. The dynamics between the different generations of characters add much intrigue to the show.
Set Significance: The steampunk airship reminded the couple of the airships featured in the show, built by Future Industries, a company owned by one of the characters' fathers. The company supplies weapons to some of the show's villains.
Where It's Streaming: Netflix; the finale aired in 2014.
Reason They Watched: They'd both watched the show before on their own, and enjoyed it (though not as much as Avatar). But they wanted to rewatch it together.
