This is the last post about the Avatar Series for a long while, probably till the next season is shown. It was a great experience to write several post dedicated to one whole topic. This way I could remind myself about these great moments and what i liked and the tiniest bits I disliked about the series.

This time I focus a bit more on the "Behind the Scences Part" for the next season, which was a really interesting look. It's cool to see a bit of the process.

Book 1 - Wind of Legend of Korra ended with a sugar coated ending, in which nothing is left to solve anymore. Korra regained her power, got the connection to her previous incarnations, Mako choose her and the antagonist Amon is probably dead.

So the question is what is left for Korra and her gang to do in the next season? The Short Answer would be: A lot! The longer one follows:

The Legend of Korra was a great run till the 11 episode. It had humor, action, tension, innovation and many more. It was a masterpiece with an eyesore and that was the ending.

The successor was planned as a Mini-Series that should have ended after 12 episode and the ending deserves to be called "The End". Nothing, really nothing is left unsolved or hidden for the next season. It has a happier ending than the "Dark Knight Rises", which was too nice in my opinion.

It looks like no one believed at Nickelodeon that it would be such a success, that it will get more seasons. To archive such a happy honey coated ending withing just 2 episodes the authors picked the oldest and worst trick in their sleeves, the Deus Ex Machina plot device. But what exactly is that plot device?

The Legend of Korra focuses on a new Avatar called Korra, with many changes in the execution of the story. Korra is not only older than Aang, but also the complete opposite of him. She is more furious, prideful and fearless, at least in the beginning. Not only the main character has matured, but the story itself is now more complex and darker, much to my liking :)

After the fall of the fire Nation all Kingdoms became one big Nation. Without a fearful enemy the people began to life in property and harmony, but over the years a gap developed between benders and non-benders, who had it harder to get jobs. Non-Benders are challenged by being normal and have a harsher and harder life to live. They felt left behind and wanted equality for humanity. Thats the conflict that give rise to a terrist group and their leader Amon, who has the ability to banish bender powers. Korra must face a gruesome enemy, who could take away her bending, which defines who she is.
