A few years back, I was hanging out with one of my friends and his kid did this kung-fu move and shouted something about bending air at me. I had no idea what he was talking about. Then my friend suddenly kicked the ground, did another kung-fuey move, and said something about bending earth.
I was completely lost.
It was explained to me that there was this ‘kick ass show’ called Avatar: The Last Airbender that all the kids were into and that it was also pretty entertaining for their parents. Ok. I didn’t check it out until Netflix started streaming the show and found that I was really impressed. My only complaint came when I realized how few episodes there actually were of the series: 3 seasons, 61 episodes. Still, given how poorly genre shows typically do with series endings, I had to admit that Avatar at least had a beginning, a middle and (most importantly) an end. A pretty good one, too. The show had a rich world and great characters. I think a sequel was inevitable.
Enter: The Legend of Korra.
WARNING:Spoilers for the original series from this point forward!
