Legend Of Korra Trailer Reveals More Airbenders—And Old Man Zuko!

There is no dialogue in the first official trailer for The Legend of Korra: Book 3—just sweet, sweet action. And it’s hitting all the things we want: more Lin, more Asami, some fearsome-looking foes, and an aged but still ass-kicking Zuko. The second book of Korra had plenty of hiccups, but we’re hoping that the…

What is ahead for The Legend of Korra after the world-altering events of Book 2? This quick peek shows Korra in action, a shirtless Tenzin, and a mysterious dragon rider.

The Legend of Korra ends a rocky season on a powerful note

Nickelodeon surprised fans by releasing the entire Legend of Korra finale last night, giving us two hours of Avatar goodness.

At long last, The Legend of Korra’s Spirit Book brings our Avatar into the Spirit World, where she will have to battle against her own impatient nature if she wants to save the world.

Legend of Korra finally reveals whose Avatar Korra and Aang are

This week’s hour-long Legend of Korra takes a break from our regular cast of characters to tell a different legend: that of Wan, the first Avatar. It reveals a bit more about the nature of the Avatar universe and just whose Avatar Korra and her predecessors are. Korra takes the episode to recover from her…

The Legend of Korra delivers a fantastic episode—without Korra

The perennial complaint I hear about The Legend of Korra is that Korra herself can be a bit obnoxious, distracting us from the rest of the show. This week, we got a nearly Korra-less episode—and it was pretty great. I was pretty optimistic about the whole Korra-getting-swallowed-by-a-dark-spirit thing from last week’s episode. I was excited…

Korra returns with family drama and religious extremism
