Asami learns the hard way that dating a powerful figure like the Avatar will make you a target for those seeking to exploit and manipulate her. Alles bei allem ist der Comic allerdings super schön, fängt die neue Reihe mit einer neuen Romanze an und viel Action. Freue mich schon auf den 2. Part der Comic Reihe (auch wenn die Wartezeit wirklich enorm ist..) Mako's arm is still injured. Only a few days have passed since the wedding, so no Hollywood Healing. Honestly the most important thing about this is it made my heart go all 💓💓💓💓 . Thats what I came here for and that is what I got, and honestly I loved this so much and I can't wait for the next parts to be released While Aang had the task of ending a war and bringing peace to the four nations in Avatar: The Last Airbender, Korra’s role as the Avatar was less clear. After seventy years, Aang left the world in relative peace and prosperity, with rapid urban expansion and new technologies. By the time Korra arrived in Republic City to learn airbending, things were not as clear-cut as stopping the Fire Nation from conquering the world. Instead, Republic City was suffering from poverty and gang activity, with conflict brewing between benders and non-benders. The rest of the world also faced complicated issues as the Earth Kingdom was ruled with an iron fist by the Earth Queen and threatened with rebellion and the Southern and Northern Water Tribes headed into civil conflict.

Didn't Think This Through: Korra, being Korra, immediately wants to be open about her relationship with Asami and doesn't take her parents' well-intentioned warning of others' potential narrow-mindedness well, but it's not until she realizes she didn't take Asami's thoughts into consideration that she eases up and apologizes. Girls Stare at Scenery, Boys Stare at Girls: Partly Inverted since Korra is not a boy: Asami comments on how beautiful the sunset is and Korra agrees; only Korra is looking at Asami and not the sunset. Cerebus Retcon: The revelation that Avatar Kyoshi was never fully accepted in the Earth Kingdom because of her sexuality, in spite of her general heroism, shows her decision to isolate herself and her people on a little island off the southern coast in a somewhat harsher light. Admittedly, the primary reason was still that Chin the Great was on the warpath and about to conquer her home, but it could theoretically have colored her decision-making. The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars Part Three". Penguin Random House. Archived from the original on August 23, 2018 . Retrieved August 23, 2018.Innocently Insensitive: Before they return to Republic City Korra takes Asami to the South Pole so they can tell her parents the good news about their new relationship. Asami is clearly a little uncomfortable about the idea but Korra is too excited to notice. To her credit Korra does apologize for not thinking about Asami's feelings after she explains why she was hesitant to come out to Korra's parents and Asami assures her that she is just as excited for their relationship just to be a little more careful next time. Coup de Grâce: In Tokuga's first scene, he overpowers Jargala, the leader of the Creeping Crystal Triad and attempts to finish her off with one of these courtesy of his hookswords. The arrival of the anti-Triad taskforce interrupts Tokuga before he can deliver the finishing blow, forcing him to flee and allowing Jargala to escape.

Skewed Priorities: Raiko cares more about getting reelected than the housing crisis, and his campaign manager actually has to point out to him that dealing with the latter will help him with the former.Turf Wars is a graphic novel trilogy set in the Avatar universe, following the events of Book Four of the television series The Legend of Korra. The first graphic novel trilogy based on Korra, it is written by franchise co-creator Michael Dante DiMartino, with line art by Irene Koh and coloring by Jane Bak and Vivian Ng. The series' other co-creator, Bryan Konietzko, acted as a consultant for the novels. The first issue of the series was released in comic book stores on July 26, 2017, and in mass market retailers on August 8, 2017. The second part of the series was released in comic book stores on January 17, 2018, and in mass market retailers on January 30, 2018. The final part was released on August 22, 2018, with the mass market release on September 4, 2018. The Legend of Korra: Turf Wars Part One' portrays a more thoughtful, heartfelt and especially explicit LBGTQ relationship than any media for adults I have seen in a long, long time. Just thinking about how gratifying this little comic book could be for any young person reading and who is discovering their feelings regarding own their sexuality that is outside of conservative heteronormality, and working out any confusion, gives me hope for the future. It turns out that in the beloved, fantastical, Asian culture-influenced world of 'The Legend of Korra', most people are accepting of who you are, and who you love. So there shouldn't be any shame or fear of stigma or hate or ignorance anywhere in the real world. It is sad and really not at all surprising that, even today, a lot of the media we consume which boasts of content exploring various sexual orientations, in fact use nothing more than the dreadful and offensive queerbaiting technique, or otherwise resort to subtext: safe, risk-free options whilst still placing heterosexual pairings in the spotlight. And the need to bury the "Bury Your Gays" trope has never been more vital and cannot be ignored any longer. In an age of so-called "progress" and tolerance, the message, though likely unconscious on the writer's part, is nevertheless there in most media: "I and quite a majority of people still think you are wrong for existing. We might intentionally add in a little sexual tension between characters of the same sex, but that's for fanservice only, and we will never really have the secure balls to go anywhere with it, much less commit to a same-sex coupling. So it'll be death, or teasing played for laughs at your expense. No happy ending for you either way. I mean, you're only a very small minority, right? Ain't we progressive? Why aren't you people ever satisfied? Bye!" This is the first time in the run of either series that social views on same-sex couples are mentioned and explored. The artwork is absolutely stunning. I was legit staring in amazement at some of the illustrations for a full minute. The art by Irene Koh and the colouring by Vivian Ng is utterly perfect..

The election between Zhu Li and Raiko is clearly defined as the former being both competent and selfless vs. the latter being incompetent, self-serving, and petty.I don’t think I’ve talked about this much on here but I am utter trash for Korrasami and I cannot believe it took me this long to read this. Kya tells Korra and Asami about her own "coming out" experience and each nation's view on same-gender relationships, noting that the Air Nomads were the most accepting out of all. New Job as the Plot Demands: Bolin has once again changed his career, this time joining his brother on the police force. It's more justified this time; Bolin always loved fighting injustice and helping people, a cause he felt was betrayed when he previously fought for Kuvira. Come the end of Part 3, he resigns from the police as well. Inherent in the System: While the comic blames specific villains for the Fire Nation's anti-homosexual policies (i.e., it was all Sozin's fault), it applies a more realistic take to the Earth Kingdom: there, it's simply the conservative and conformist culture in general that isn't accepting of any such deviations from its norms, irrespective of evil overlords. Even Avatar Kyoshi, who is now said/rumored ("by all accounts," according to Kya) to have entertained same-sex liaisons herself, proved unable to effect change on this point—despite otherwise defeating whole armies, instituting the Dai Li and generally being the power behind the throne in her time.

Running for 52 episodes between 2012-2014, The Legend of Korra was a sequel series to Avatar: The Last Airbender. Just like its predecessor, it created a very dedicated fan base who loved the show dearly.

Jerkass Ball: Korra grabs it early on after coming out to her parents, accusing Tonraq of being narrow-minded and storming out of the house when he and Senna warn her that not everyone will accept her being bisexual, nevermind that he himself had no problem with it. Thankfully, she throws it away after a talk with Asami. The art style is different in here - in the ATLA comics, it's almost exact from the show, whereas this style is rougher and less exact. And I liked that; it's different. Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Skoochy is revealed as this as he fled on sight of Mako and Bolin's police car and initially is tight-lipped about info on the Triple Threats, but opens up when Mako points out that lives are on the line. Part One establishes the historical treatment of LGBT individuals by the different nations of this fantasy world, with some nations revealed to be unaccepting of them. [38] According to DiMartino, he and Konietzko "thought the best approach was to view LGBTQ representation through the lens of the different cultures." [8] Kya and Avatar Kyoshi were also revealed to be queer. [37] On the decision to introduce homophobia into this fictional universe, artist Irene Koh noted that "there's a lot of potency to seeing loved, powerful characters like Korra and Asami dealing with the same struggles I (and other queer people) face." [8] According to Koh, the creative team wanted Korra and Asami to be "empathetic parallels" for LGBT readers. [8] Critical response [ edit ]
