Just a great spin off to avatar, similar to avatar, but does not follow a continuous goal and can get detached, still good

Korra is bad Sooooooooooooo much bad I hate Korra, i love anng soooooooooo much

Studio Mir did an amazing job animating this show. Loved the fight choreography, there was definitely at least one villain I enjoyed watching each season, the plot-lines were interesting, and also enjoyed the characters.

It's not The Last Airbender but it is highly Tolerable to watch and to also soothe that itch of wanting more Avatar. Watch it at your own pace, and maybe even forget about it. Thats all.

Bastante buena serie, aunque sea inferior a su antecesor se sostiene por si misma (le daría 8.5 pero bueno)

A thoughtful, remarkably mature and surprisingly incredible follow-up to its award-winning prequel series, The Legend of Korra, while not without some minor flaws and misses, is a remarkable show with powerful portrayals of perseverance, suffering, love and empathy. Its lessons are far-reaching and poignant, and it arguably even outshines the prequel at key moments. As stated earlier, this show has a few hiccups: Bo Lin can sometimes be a frustrating character to endure, and the show's ending feels quite abrupt. But despite those minor nitpicks, the show starts off strong in its first season, and mostly keeps that pace going (though not completely) in its 2nd and 3rd seasons. And controversial as it may seem, the show's 4th season shows some of its strongest characterization for Korra. Overall, the Legend of Korra humanizes a hero, and her struggles, for the most part, induce so many powerful emotions. While arguably not the juggernaut its predecessor was, the series truly shines in unique and powerful ways that the Last Airbender could not.

This story is not just a story. I've never felt reassembled, thank you for that, for the avatar, for the story. And the last thing I want to write is thanks.

The story had so much potential!! They had the ground work from the original and had cool concepts but the terrible writing just killed the show

When i started watching i was a bit skeptical, (bc my friends said it was bad) but it changed shortly after, and here's why: To enjoy TLOK you have to understand every Avatar was different, so was the environment they were born and so was the world they lived in. In Korra's lifetime we meet with progress (like tech, democracy, new ways to use bending, etc) and you also witness where society is still very flawed after Aang's actions to restore peace. The Avatar is the bridge between worlds but also a person figuring out it's place in the world like us, with tremendous expectations from the others, like they are the key to solve every problem, when they are also learning about life. Aang didn't wanted to be the Avatar, Korra embraced it since a child. Korra's story tells us more about the emotional weight of being the Avatar and what's their place in the world as an individual and the struggle to try to save everything, but you forget about yourself while meeting others expectations and the Avatar's duties. This series doesn't give you a the ''expected hero'', but someone who has growth to do and no one else can solve it but themselves, and making mistakes is what brings that growth. Korra ends up being much more relatable than Aang, because she has much to grow as an individual, Aang who was born a monk, and therefore he had another mindset, who was quite mature for a 14 year old, peaceful, unassertive and still had his childish fun side. Korra was impulsive there by didn't hide her true feelings, much stronger, independent, sarcastic and assertive with admirable compassion, devotion and loyalty. Aang and Korra are the opposites of each other in personality and this is what many people dont like, cuz the Avatar is supposed to be the hero everyone wishes to see, someone that knows what's doing for the greater good without causalities in the middle. Another thing is the antagonists where you can also relate with some of their causes but probably not their choices, and that is important too. They are characters that seek ways to make the world better and more balanced without the Avatar, when that is supposed to be the Avatar's duties. Is not the cliche of wanting power for the sake of it like the previous firelords. Is not a perfect series but it shows much more than just ''good'' against ''evil'' and who wins and who loses. Many of korra's causalities brought something new to the world where we can make things work, and as individuals we must adapt and evolve with it too to make it better despise the obstacles.

Nowhere near as good as the original series. It was OK at times but I got bored of it a long time before it ended

I'm sick of seeing people defending this show by comparing it with ATLA, and saying it's different. Well no **** it's different, it's also complete trash "compared" to the "standard" that was set by Avatar: The Last Airbender. There are momentary lapses in this 'sequel' at just about every corner that make no sense at all, like her supposed 'popularity rating' to be at like 9% because apparently she's involved in politics (contradiction to the entire purpose of the show) and like the Avatar struggling in a fight in her AVATAR STATE against a rather weak adversary who only knows 1 element, but she can defeat rather powerful adversaries earlier on where she was less experienced. There are moments where rather weak characters suddenly have extremely rare unlocked skills, right at a time where its needed most, like where a character suddenly knows how to "lava bend" - so all of a sudden new bending is mastered by complete rookies completely defying thousands of years of Avatar lore. There are times when the master airbender explains how difficult it is to master a bison, yet a kid suddenly masters it seconds later. The entire show feels incredibly rushed and cuts corners and bends the narrative as it pleases, it begins to sap the essence out of the Avatar name. The original show was a masterpiece all round, but this 'sequel' was a cash grab, no more no less.

holy f*ck this is awful... or just aang was too good. at least they should aang more longer

This series has a lot of great ideas, but they need a good editor to cut out the bad/mediocre ones and help them focus on developing the good ones more. They did not take as much time to develop the friendships between the main characters as much as Avatar: The Last Airbender for it, which was a mistake. But, at its best, this series does start to reach ATLA levels. The first season is a mixed bag of good ideas that don't all work together, resulting in some tonal problems but a decent overall story. I would give it probably a 7 out of 10. The second season is pretty much completely irredeemable in my opinion, and I would recommend just skipping it. You won't miss much. I would give it like a 2 out of 10. The second season is worth it, though, for the third season, which is the high point. The third season builds and builds to an extremely satisfying conclusion, setting up for a great last season. I would give it an 8.5 out of 10. The fourth season has a lot of great ideas on how to for how to follow up on the third season, but again sometimes they don't focus enough on those ideas and instead split time with other, less interesting plot lines. I would give the final season an 8 out of 10. Overall, if you love Avatar, I think this series is worth watching for the third and fourth seasons. Unfortunately, I can't escape the feeling that this could have been so much better. I really hope that they make another series in this universe.

Breaks its own lore. Continuity issues all over the place. Bending styles loose their individually

It's an excellent show, solid character development and incorporates characters from the The Last Air Bender very well. Also, most of the "bad" reviews are from insecure right-wing man children.

El poder ver a Korra evolucionar tras las 4 temporadas es una sensación magnífica. Al principio vemos a una chica testaruda y agresiva, y en el transcurso de la serie la vemos ganar, perder, reírse y sufrir, me encanta que te muestre a un personaje realmente humano. Al finalizar la temporada 3 vemos a Korra en su punto más débil para después, en la temporada final, darnos cuenta que en toda la serie estuvimos viendo a una chica tratando de descubrir su lugar en el mundo. Simplemente magnífica.

What most people fails to understand is that TLOK aint Aang's story anymore, Korra is a whole new avatar, with whole new problems and personality, but the show doesn't fail to have memorable villains, each one wanting to change the world but using force, and thats fantastic, since the world isn't at war anymore like it was on ATLA, and its been 70 years since its predecessor and the world has changed a lot, and on the "feminist" subject the series aint nothing out of the common, while people may say that *SPOILER* Asami and Korra became a couple in the ending of the series, i like to see it as political blablabla from Nickelodeon, since we don't see anything that suggests it on the series, TLOK is a good show made for the original fans of ATLA, but they can't expect a direct continuation of the original shows, and see it as a whole new story, much like the three trilogys of star wars.

The writing was SO bad I felt the story was rushed with many many deus ex machina devices. Example, the last episode of Air - they wrapped up the ending with a cheese quip and then teleported a character to the avatar for a forced feel-good moment - WHAT? Did the producers want to just to tie up the season? I felt more for Hawky than I ever did for any of these lame characters.

It's an amazing sequel to The Last Airbender that deserves more love. If you go into LOK expecting the last airbender, you will be sorely dissapointed as it's completely different in how it does things. If you want to enjoy it more, just watch it, like you are watching a new show. Don't put expectations of which directions you want the show to go through as it's most likely going to go another direction than that. 70 years have passed and aang brought peace to the world so you're following completely different characters in situations that are not similar at all. It's like avatar was star wars rebels with a group hiding from the empire (fire nation) while korra is clone wars where life is more peaceful with seasonal threats and more mature themes. It's a spin off sequel so just don't expect anything from what you watched in avatar, expect something completely different. Just watch it like you watched avatar the last airbender for the first time, not knowing what awaits you and letting the story and world immerse you. Just don't expect the story to go somewhere beforehand. Why am I telling you all this? Because this show deserves your full immersion.

avatar 2.0 but without the charm. korra is a lesbian (didnt like it). Mako and the other one should have been together. we need an actual gay avatar story line not korra's lesbianic non adventures

Lol terrible show after the original most forced sjw feminists bs I’ve seen in years I’ll stick to the original thanks

Wow they review bombed it because a female lead... It is a very interesting sequel to the last airbender that takes a look at how the avatar fits into a world of advancing technology, and how she seeks to balance the spirit and physical worlds despite humanity moving towards a secular future. Great and creative combat like the original. I love the 1940's narrator as well as the steampunk aesthetic. Despite many reviewers commenting that Korra is boring due to having more knowledge than Aang at the start and therefore not being a complete rehash of the original, cough. The thing is Korra is noticeably less skilled in combat than Aang is. She struggles regularly whereas most of Aang's difficulties in combat arose from the fragility of his allies. If you enjoyed the last airbender I highly recommend this one. I'd love to see one of the past avatars way back when next... If they make anothet series.

If you like simple background entertainment it's fine. But if we look at what it could have and should have been, this is a really big dissapointment. The main problem is Korra. I know she needs to learn and become more wise as the episodes go on, but 12 year old Aang was more wise then this late teenager avatar. She makes so many dumb decisions, and acts like she has never been under pressure. I just can't relate to a character that acts so dumb so many times. A great example is a scene early in the first season where she challenged the uprising leader to a 1v1 duel, even though like 4 scenes before, she was having nightmares about this guy. This just isn't believable writing. Its an ok show but just don't think too much about what is happening, and why it's happening. The animation is of course great but that's pretty much all. The show was ok, but still really dissapointing.

Korra is a borring character, she starts by already knowing all elements by the end of the first season, her friends aren't as good like Katara, Sokka and Toph and the Villains are borring, in the first show the Fire Lord was kept hidden until the last season when you saw his face, he was epic, in this show the villains die and lets move to the next one. Korra is a bad character and her evolvement with her friends is almost null. the show is boring and to be honest, it only has better graphics the story is ****

Avatar: The Legend of Korra is a worthy successor to Avatar Aang. With her obvious focus on the children who grew up with Avatar Aang (and, therefore, presenting a more adult series), Korra manages to amazingly expand this wonderful universe

An excellent sequel to 'Avatar: The Last Airbender', it might have some rough edges and problems for trying to do a lot stuff but that's what makes it special, not a lot of animated TV shows dare do lots of different things and challenge the status quo.
