Legend of Korra: 1.1 & 1.2 Reaction
Mar. 24th, 2012 02:05 pmAnything major is going beneath the cut but some generalities before I go into details:
If you are unfamiliar with Avatar: the last airbender, I believe you can still enjoy this show without being knowledgeable about its full origins. The opening episode does a good enough job of introducing the basics and you may miss some of the nods to the previous season but it shouldn't hamper your enjoyment. If you're into female protagonists getting up to adventures, going through coming of age stories, assuming leadership, enjoying being physical, being good at fighting, a diverse cast when it comes to gender, comedy, and fantasies based on different cultures instead of the dominant one employed in most, if not all, popular fantasy works in Western media culture, then give this show a chance. Based on the previous show's track record this show will consider the weight of violence and present multiple view points and doesn't actually deal in complete black and white morality.
Did I mention the show is fun?
( detailed thoughts on the first two episodes )
Icons for the show
Streaming now (maybe only to US residents and I do not have a link to a dl but I know one exists)
