Introduction: The Legend Of Korra
This animated series is a sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender. This show is based on the culture of Japan, but this series is like no other. It has bending. Which lets people or "benders" be able to move one of the four elements: water,earth,fire and air. They move one of these elements with martial arts moves. But the avatar is able to master all of the four elements.
The Four Elements
Meet The Characters!
Korra
A confident, determined new avatar named Korra, has to learn how to master all the four elements. water, earth, and fire came easily to her. But she finds airbending to be very difficult. "it's not sinking in okay!" Korra yells frustrated at her airbending teacher. Will Korra ever learn airbending? Or will she fail as an avatar.
Mako
This serious, strong firebender mako. doesnt play around. due to the death of his parents at an early age, his biggest responsibility is raising his little brother, Bolin. But how will he get money? Pro-bending of course!
Bolin
This goofy, relaxed earthbender just wants to have fun. With his fire-ferret pet Pabu, he can do anything. Unlike his brother, he is more of a "go with the flow" kinda guy. Bolin might also have a secret crush on the avatar. But does the avatar like him back?
The fans
The legend of Korra has over a million of fans. They express their feelings by writing blogs or fan-fiction stories. On Instagram the fans state " I've learn so much from the people that never existed." this series doesn't only bring comedy romance and great action. it also teaches lessons and emotion to the viewers.
Romance
Fangirling
The Legend of Korra has a lot of "shipping" (the fans would call it) shipping is a couple, or a possible love interest whit the characters on the show. The fans cheer on or support the couple they love. OTP which means "one true pairing" is what a Fan-girl might describe a couple that they support the most.Sometimes these couples actually end up together on the show.
Mako v.s Bolin
There is a lot of fighting here and there with Bolin and Mako to win Korra's heart. But who will win? Or will the avatar be too busy to deal with love.

Meet The Villains
Season 1 villain
The smart, masked Amon was a terrible dictator. He had the power to take away benders bending permanently. In this series, there is none-benders,people born without bending. Which is why he found a way to influence non-benders to help him start a war against benders. will Korra defeat this villain and end chaos?
Season 2 villain
This creepy, spiritual waterbender named Unalaq, wanted power to rule the world. But not with people, with spirits-bad spirits. He wanted to be as powerful as the avatar.Not with a light spirit Raava, like Korra. With a dark spirit Vattu. Will Korra be able to defeat a dark avatar?
Season 3 villains
In the previous series Avatar: The Last Airbender, there was the white lotus. A group of people that protected the avatar.Now there is a red lotus, which is a group trying to capture the avatar. But why?
Troubles with the series
The legend of Korra was doing very well. but there were more people watching the episodes online than on TV. And Nickelodeon was having trouble finding a spot for it on TV. Therefore, Nickelodeon decided to make the series go digital, so it is only available online.There is some pros and cons with this decision. A good thing about digital is that the episode is online all afternoon, so people can watch whenever they want in the afternoon. But a problem about this idea is that it cant be viewed internationally. Also people that don't have a computer or laptop can't watch the rest of book 3. There was a lot of hate on instagram and tumblr with nick about it going digital. But in the end nick won and it is now only online.
The Ratings.
How critics would rate this show?
To Conclude
In my opinion I think the show deserves 4 and a half stars or 8.5. This show has the whole package: comedy,romance and action. To have a show on Nickelodeon with character and meaning. Now that's neat. But my problem is that the show's romance seems to be a bit sloppy. And also there is very little connection or flash backs to the previous avatar 's life, which is a bit disappointing. Other than that, this show is marvelous and book 3 is going to be a great season.
