There was a very popular show on Nickelodeon called Avatar the Last Airbender. There was even a live action film I know was made which I hear was terrible (I have not seen that film). I do not want to get too into detail on the plot or characteristics but basically there's a huge war only one person was able to stop it and that was the Avatar. People bend the four basic elements, fire water, air, and earth. The Avatar is able to bend all four. With the avatar being the most powerful being, he/she is reincarnated every cycle. And Korra is the next reincarnation of Aang, the previous Avatar from The Last Airbender.
Season 1 Summery:
I am here to review season two of the Legends of Korra because it just started last month. A brief of the first season, there was a civil war on benders vs. non-benders and in my opinion, I agreed with parts of both sides. Korra had to take down the leader of this evil gang called the equalist amungs the non-benders and try to make peace with the civil war that was being uprupted by the equalist. the equalist had good intensions but horrible actions and caused a lot of damage to the city. Korra is also much more modern than the Last Airbender since it takes place seventy years after the great war.
Season 2 Review:
Season two is all about the spirit side of the Avatar. The Avatar is not only able to bend all elements, but is the gateway from the human and spirit relm. They rarely touched on this in season one so I am glad there finally doing something. Right now how the season starts out is that there are angry spirits and the Avatar needs to go help the damages they cause, and it starts in her home nation.
And I have to compare this to the Last Airbender, with that show there was a lot of traveling and short stories along with the overall plot. Korra season one, it was all in one city, not too much traveling or relief time. I am glad to say there is going to be traveling in season two of Korra.
There are some really awesome characters and how they relate to the Last Airbender is awesome just because the Last Airbender was such a good series. There's really nice humor, and likable minor characters.
Something that bothered me about this new season is the shadowing animation, it seems really overdone and almost distracting. I didn't really notice it until my friend pointed it out and then it kept bothering me in some scenes. The animation is really good but so good it is a little overdone.
Something else that bothered me was the new "bad guy" seems similar to another character from season one. And I see a lot of good people with bad actions kind of thing and I thought the writers would change it up. Like theres not really a villain right now which is fine but something else should be done, I hope they change it up later on.Somethibng that has bothered me since season one of Korra was her attitude and lame arguements. From a third person's point of view, she is always picking a fight with everyone, especially her friends and its a little annoying. She always thinks people are againts her and I thought she would not do that as much in season one but the first few episodes Im already tired of it.
I saw the first five episodes, and Im just happy there going to travel, and possibly being some Last Airbender characters in. From what is to come it sounds like parts of the season will be awesome. Overall characters and story, I am not sure about. Plot seems alright but I am not sure where its going quite yet.

For the theme of the Last Airbender and Legends of Korra they explain the back story really well. Instead of theme songs like most shows, they tell a short story on what has happened and what there is to do. So if you didnt understand my summeries very well heres some links that explain everything much better:
