The Legend of Korra title
Summary of TV Show[]
The Legend of Korra (Avatar: The Legend of Korra in Latin America) is an American animated television series that premiered on the Nickelodeon television network on April 14, 2012. It was created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko as a sequel to their previous show, Avatar: The Last Airbender, which aired on the same network from 2005 to 2008. Like its predecessor, the series is set in a fictional world where some people can "bend", that is, telekinetically manipulate the elements of water, earth, fire, or air. Only one person, the "Avatar", can manipulate all four elements, and he or she is responsible for maintaining the balance in the world. The series follows Korra, the current incarnation of the Avatar, as she travels to the metropolis of Republic City to learn airbending and face an anti-bender revolutionary group, the "Equalists".
The series was announced at San Diego Comic-Con in 2010 as Avatar: Legend of Korra. It was initially conceived as a miniseries of 12 episodes, but is now set to run for 52 episodes separated into two seasons. The creators separated each season into two "books", each of which tells a separate story. Several producers and voice actors from the original series, including designer Joaquim Dos Santos and composer Jeremy Zuckerman, also worked on The Legend of Korra. Book One: Air – the first twelve episodes – received positive reviews for its animation, setting, mature themes and portrayal of romantic relationships, although its pacing, character development, and speedy resolution of conflicts were criticized. The series received an average of 3.7 million viewers when Book One: Air aired from April to June 2012.
