It’s hard to imagine the story circling back (so savor that name drop, Beifong fans). While Book One took its time to soak in the evolved setting, as much an origin story for Korra as it was the Roaring Twenties-inspired Republic City, Book Two whisks the ensemble away without looking back. Like many 17-year-olds, Korra is aching to leave home. “The Avatar State is not to be used as a booster rocket!” Tenzin complains. Airball-racing with 7-year-olds is a lot more fun than studying.
And then there’s Korra, burnt out from her summer-school airbending lessons with Tenzin. With her inventor father in jail, Asami is testing planes and formulating a plan to restore Future Industries to its former self. Mako is a hotshot cop, patrolling the streets of Republic City on assignment from Lin Beifong. Bolin is still duking it out in the pro-bending arena, with a makeshift Fire Ferrets worthy of the Bad News Bears. The first two episodes of Book Two: Spirits move like lightning, catapulting the story ahead six months and cluing us into the Avatar version of summer vacation. By the finale’s closing credits, Korra had taken out Amon and restored balance to Republic City by finally entering the “Avatar State.” She graduated.Īnd like post-grad life, the actual discoveries and hardships had yet to come. Our teen hero owned her identity, formed strong bonds, learned what the worst type of people looked like, and pursued goals that required the hardest fights of her life. Book One of The Legend of Korra was a lot like high school.
