The Legend of Korra is an American animated television series, that premieres on the Nickelodeon television network on April 14, 2012. The series is a sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender, which aired on the same network from 2005 to 2008, and is currently set to run for 26 episodes
First off, I'm fairly new to the world of Avatar, I was introduced to the first series by a friend and was instantly hooked. So, I love, love, LOVE, the first series. When I heard about Korra I was honestly really excited. After watching the first four episodes, I will agree that story wise and character likeability wise, it's a bit lacking in comparison. HOWEVER! I did enjoy the first two episodes quite a bit.
I think that Korra is an amazing protagonist and I'm not easily swayed by female main characters. The animation is mainly what hooked me to this series, the fight scenes and style are fun and a bit more "grown up" I guess is one way to put it. But anyway, if you're a fan of the series then I would recommend it but I wouldn't compare the two. The first had it's good and bad points and so does this one, to say that it's nothing like the first series is a good thing in my book. If it were the same as the first then I would go back and re-watch the first. Why would anybody want to watch the same thing?
In the end, basically don't knock it until you watch it for yourself. I think it's good and intend to keep watching.
