Zaheer is the most interesting antagonist since Amon, and Korra actually starts to show real growth this season as she takes her position as Avatar gravely serious and tempers her hot-headedness. He also eventually helps break other powerful benders out of captivity to form a group called “The Red Lotus.” Exciting stuff. But probably the biggest change this season that propels the plot is that people start getting the ability to airbend again, which actually impacts Korra since the main antagonist this season, Zeheer (Voice by Henry freaking Rollins) acquires airbending abilities, too. And the ramifications of what happened in Book 2 concerning the Spirit Realm seep into this season, as spirit vines are popping up all over Republic City. For one thing, fan favorite Zuko returns as an old man. Just like Avatar.īook 3, which, during its initial run was first on Nickeloeon proper, and then concluded on because of the show’s declining ratings, is the series’ best season since so much happens. But Amon, with his desire to make everybody equal, is just such a compelling villain that it elevated the show from being a disappointment to must-watch TV. And it’s a good thing that Amon is such a good villain, since all the other new characters-Bolin, Mako, Tenzen, Asami, and especially Korra-just seemed like lesser versions of all the characters we grew to love on Avatar: The Last Airbender. A character who can take bending away from benders? It sounds too horrible to be true.

So why is this season so high up on this list? Because of one character-Amon.Īmon is the best antagonist in the entire series since he brings so much fear and tension. And when you look back at the entire season, it has the fewest chapters with only 12. Plus, all the characters don’t seem nearly as interesting as those found in ATLA. The first few chapters are painfully slow as they’re mired in stuff like the pro-bending league (Gawd!), and all the world building. On top of this, Korra radios in to offer great teaching advice to Tenzin, who leans a bit too heavily on traditional training methods that don't belong in the contemporary era that TLOK is set in.The Legend of Korra had a rocky start. This filler episode is filled with great airbending content that the original show lacked due to the limited number of airbenders during The Hundred Year War. That leaves this episode to fall under the ever-extending umbrella of filler. The cultural differences between the air nomads and the rest of the world were roundly discussed in episodes preceding Original Airbenders.

There seems to be no limit to the number of interesting characters that the avatar canon can produce. Suyin stands throughout this episode as a strong and malleable woman who understands learning theory as well as she understands the art of bending.

This episode also gives Korra the opportunity to become the first Avatar to metal bend and sees Bolin struggle with his own mental blocks. RELATED: 5 Popular Female Characters Who Were Born Bad-Asses (& 5 Who Became Bad-Asses Over Time) The battles spearheaded by Toph were great in the original series, but the opportunity to see how the specialized technique that makes metal as malleable as putty has developed is extremely satisfying. "Old Wounds" offers up one of the best earth bending battles in either Avatar series, as both of Toph's daughter's Suyin and Lin work through their family drama.

The Legend of Korra's filler list includes any episode that does not largely contribute to the main plot-line running through the season it contributes to. Shonen viewers may scoff at the idea that a show without a manga even has fillers, but a show that bends the definition of anime can surely bend the definition of filler as well. RELATED: Avatar: 5 Reasons Aang Is The Best Part Of The Franchise (& 5 Why It's Korra) One of the ways that Korra flourished was through its use of filler episodes to characterize its contemporary cast of characters.
#AVATAR THE LEGEND OF KORRA SEASON 4 EPISODE 1 FULL#
After three strong seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender ( ATLA) it was only a matter of time before another Avatar took up the role of entertaining viewers with epic bending battles and strong filler episodes full of relevant social commentary. That role was filled by c, and though this new series had big shoes to fill after the success of ATLA, it managed to find this success by embracing its differences from the original series.
