This week`s Legend of Korra is both beautifully done but some repeated, typical problems with the series as the Avatar enters the Spirit World.
This week`s Legend of Korra is both beautifully done but some repeated, typical problems with the series as the Avatar enters the Spirit World.
On the good side of this episode, a journey into the Spirit World
takes a very symbolic representation or more of a metaphor of Korra as she is
right now. Not exactly fully developed and not fully matured, which is why she
appears as child. And it is very commendable to the writers for the addition of
Iroh, Zuko`s uncle, and as always Iroh provides very deep and helpful advice
for Korra and all the while being his usual calm and funny self. Which is what made this part of Korra`s
journey so beautiful and was the high point of the episode.
Jinora`s character kind of shined through in this episode,
she was very wise and clever, very smart for her age. Making her very befitting
to be the Avatar`s guide through the Spirit World.
As for the Spirit World itself, the original Avatar series
has dipped into the Spirit World before but it is always something wonderful to
see as new things are explored or discovered. For example, the ever changing
landscape and why bending isn`t normally accessible in the Spirit World. As well as familiar things such as Won Shi
Tong and the Spirit Library. Apparently if the writers were going bring up a
blast from thepast then why not two?
Now onto the bad things, while Korra`s experience with Iroh
was very well done and could have really helped to the character`s development,
however our Avatar continues to make mistakes. Korra`s behavior problem was in
fact what got her separated from Jinora and as a result has put Tenzin`s
daughter in grave danger. Korra desperately needs to take more responsibility otherwise
she will continue to be a disappointment especially considering that she has
had so many chances for redemption. Even if Korra`s behaviors or mistakes can
be attributed to her being a teenager or simply scared, yet Jinora is completely
calm and collected while being in the Spirit World? So by comparison it makes
Korra look even worse.
However ending was enough to bring in enough excitement for
fans to stay tuned in as to how Korra will rescue Jinora. And hopefully not
mess it up again for the millionth time.
