Darn commercial. It had to air right before this show began, so I get to see Aang one last time, looking ever so awesomely a dozen and cute, as he saves the world again before he vanishes in to the vacuum of time that waits for us all. Bye, Aang. You're a statue now. Sniffle. See you in the toons they show on the other side, little pal.

But enough of the mourning. Tenzen has important things to say.

World! (Smash! Boom! Crash!)

Fire! (Whoosh! Sizzle! SSSSSSINGE!)

Air! (Hey, it's Aang! He's immortal and part of the opening credits now!)

Water (Hi, Korra! Splash! Welcome to the entire world!)

When Tenzen was a boy, his dad, the Avatar Aang, told him about how he ended the Hundred Year War with the assistance of the neurotic, destitute waterbender, a blind earthbender, a really ethically confused firebender, as well as a remarkably regular guy who could not do such a thing but crack jokes and battle like a total tiger. Next war was finally over, Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko - oh, it feels good to say that about Zuko! - worked together to make The United Republic of Nations. The idea was that benders and non-benders would come together in peace. I betcha Sokka helped write that charter. This is a shame the dream started to tarnish if the originators died. Aang and Zuko named their capitol Republic City, and gave it a slogan: "Can not most of us just get along?" Then Aang died, and he changed into a statue in the harbor. Unfortunately, this had to happen, or we couldn't meet Legend of Korra Book 2. It is like the Immortals: there can be just one.

Naturally, the story begins in a blizzard. Legend of Korra is really a waterbender; consequently, she is got to reside in a desolate frozen wasteland. I wonder, if all of us go through enough Avatars, will we ever meet one who was raised in a comfortable city eating bon bons? A distinguished Inuit gentleman greets an envoy of the White Lotus. There is a kid in his house they've just gotta see.

While the envoys of the White Lotus enter the nicest igloo I have ever seen, a woman greets them nervously. Apparently, the White Lotus have already been sent on some wild goose chases and do not want to be misled again. But both of these parents know their little girl may be the Avatar. She has no particular capability to begin glowing when furious, but... she will make quite a violent entrance. Boom! Just made a new hole in the wall for ya, Mother! I ain't your granny's avatar! Deal with it, or I shall set you on fire with these pointless small torches I keep lighting every where only to scare everybody. She wouldn't be accepted at a daycare center in your area. on

The years pass within an instant, and suddenly, we see a teenaged girl fighting in a few type of competition, where she actually is battling several firebenders at the same time and sending them sizzling onto the rooftops, still oddly living. There are numerous members of the White Lotus seeing this gravely, along with a wizened old woman who seems somehow precious and familiar. The shrewd old woman gently says, "She is powerful" but the White Lotus guru says, "She lacks restraint." That could be true, White Lotus man, but she continues to be the Avatar and you can not fire her from that place. Besides, she is sixteen. Who has restraint at the era of sixteen? After enough pyrotechnics to engulf a leading city in flames, Korra succeeds in making her last unlucky adversary pass out, and she celebrates with a war whoop. Korra is feeling pretty cocky, because she's mastered three of the four elements: fire, earth, and water. But, the grim-looking gurus aren't so sure about Korra. She is got the physical side down, but she has not got a clue in regards to the spiritual side of being the Avatar. Korra agrees with this specific, but believes that learning Air Bending under Tenzen will solve the religious problem view source.
