What is The Legend of Korra about?
The full synopsis reads: “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 that is 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 air-bending training while dealing with the dangers at large.”
The Nickelodeon series was groundbreaking in its time by revealing in its final episode that Korra and her female companion Asami were in a relationship. Writing about this on his Tumblr, series creator Bryan Konietzko said, “No, not everyone is queer, but the other side of that coin is that not everyone is straight. The more Korra and Asami’s relationship progressed, the more the idea of a romance between them organically blossomed for us.
“However, we still operated under this notion, another unwritten rule, that we would not be allowed to depict that in our show. So we alluded to it throughout the second half of the series, working in the idea that their trajectory could be heading towards a romance. But as we got close to finishing the finale, the thought struck me: How do I know we can’t openly depict that?”
The show currently has a 93 percent “fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and the series won a number of awards throughout its run.
The Legend of Korra is released on Netflix U.S. on August 14.
