Avatar the Legend of korra Season 4 Episode 6 Battle of Zaofu (TV Show Review)
Hey everyone, so I watched the latest episode of Korra today, and I'm pretty disappointed actually. So Kuvira fights with Korra one on one for the control of Zaofu, and honestly, I say I was disappointed because her fighting is terrible, I really expected more from Korra, though I'm not quite sure if it's just the people who didn't plan it better or something. But anyway, that's basically what happened actually. Apart from that, Bolin and Varrick are now held to keep working on the vine spirit energy, only to have the train blow up moments later in the episode, but you'll figure it all out once you watch the episode, but really I'm disappointed because once again, hardly anything happened. There used to be so much drive in the Avatar series, and now it's kind of dragging on. But yea anyway, can't wait to see what happens in the end! Well until next time, bye!

Avatar The Legend of Korra Season 4 Episode 5 Enemy at the Gates (TV Show Review)
Hey guys, I watched episode 5 of Legend of Korra yesterday, let's see what's happened without giving too much away. So Kuvira wants to claim Zaofu for the new empire, and we as viewers basically realise how "crazy" she is as she's willing to kill people to get there.
There's an amazing fighting scene with the robots, something which you don't see often on avatar, so there's more of a mix of bending and robotic fighting. We also see who is on who's side properly, and also get ready for the big climax which we can almost expect to happen as a whole army is waiting outside Zaofu. We also see Asami's dad in this episode too. Besides what I've mentioned, there's not much that has happened but I'm really excited for what's going to come. They mentioned that this will be the last for the series, so too bad. I wish they were going to make another series of Avatar!!!

Legend of Korra Season 4 Episode 1&2, After All These Years & Korra Alone (TV Show Review)
Hey everyone, so I finally got around watching the first two episodes of season 4 of Legend of Korra. So here's a quick rundown of what happened, not revealing too much hoping, but spoiler alert!
It's been 3 years since the end of Season 3 so everyone's grown up and are beginning to live out their lives after what happened in the previous seasons. The main spoilers are that Korra is actually missing at the end of episode 1, and in Episode 2 we finally find out where Toph has gone.
Hopefully I didn't reveal too much. I have to say that these two episodes are more story than anything, something more for the LOK people to watch definitely! In actual fact I thought Season 4 might have continued straight from Season 3, but there's quite a gap, similar to LOA but a bigger gap. Also did you notice the episode name "Korra Alone", seems familiar doesn't it??
Some of the Earth Kingdom villages became corrupt by bandits after the death of the Earth Queen (Still can't get over the fact of an actual killing on the show!), and now there's a replacement Earth King (He's the great nephew??? of the Earth Queen) all I can say is that they should have picked someone else for the part!
As for Korra, why did she run off instead of talking to people? I still don't quite understand it. Partly because she sees herself in the Avatar state, but thinks it's an illusion for quite some time.
Anyway, this post is getting too long. Overall the episodes are good for Avatar fans as we all wanted to just keep continuing on with the series. What I actually hoped for was some sort of event which would follow on from Season 3, but I really don't feel it at the moment. They sort of made another problem out of the blue, but it's new that Korra is alone.

Avatar The Legend of Korra Book 4 Episode 1 (TV Show News)
Hey everyone, so Episode 1 of Book 4 for Avatar The Legend of Korra was finally released! It's called “After All These Years”, and IGN has nicely provided a little snippet of a clip for us to all watch, Click Here!
I myself am excited about Book 4, but at the same time, it means that the series ends, and there's probably no more Avatar TV show ever again :( But I hope they keep on continuing with the comic book!

The Legend of Korra, Book 1: Air, The Art of the Animated Series (Book Review)
Hi everyone, today I will review another different thing to what I usually review, a book, but this is no ordinary book, this is the art book of The Legend of Korra (Book 1: Air). So I bought the Avatar The Last Airbender Art book, and I quite enjoyed it so I decided to buy the one about the first season of Korra.
So the book contains a lot of pictures, drawings and sketches of a majority of characters through their production stages. It's interesting seeing the development of characters, and how a sketch turns into the final form. There's also little blurbs to give a bit of info about the picture(s)/ sketch(es). I found the one of ATLA much more interesting though, it had lots of informative info and seemed to be more well thought of while being put together. This one feels like they just chucked in everything, but I'm not saying it's bad at all.
I recommend this art book to fans of ATLK (ATLOK??? oh well) as it just gives a good look at how the series was put together with the characters and scenes etc, along with ideas/ scenes and characters not put into the series.

Avatar The Legend of Korra, Season 3, Episode 12&13, Enter the Void & Venom of the Red Lotus (Final Series Episode Review)
Ok so it's been around 2 weeks since both episodes aired, and today I finally got the chance to watch these two episodes. Of course I will not spill the beans, especially as these are the final episodes of the season.
In episode 12 Enter the Void, Korra surrenders herself to the Red Lotus to save the Air Benders. There's a bit of intense fighting which causes a death of one character on the show, and someone learns lava bending and also someone learns how to fly :D And also a character manages to say "I love you"!!!!
In episode 13 Venom of the Red Lotus we get a bit of the flashback of the previous villains as Korra is forced into the Avatar state by the Red Lotus by giving her poison and yes, there is more fighting as the series reaches its climax.
Episode 13 was probably the most emotional episode I've ever seen on the Legend of Korra, especially near the end. I stayed watching the credits in sort of disbelief that the episode and series ended so fast. I feel like the ending really suited it. The emotions remind me just like the end of Avatar the Legend of Aang, but this time, there's still one more season.
The fighting in both episodes are still pretty entertaining, with a majority usually resulting in a death or injury. I feel like the creators really started experimenting with death on avatar. Ways which you sort of think "Did they really just kill her??". So it feels a bit strange when a character is killed. I made sure to check online just in case the character didn't actually die after all(but they did haha)
The team on Avatar really did a great job with the storyline for the final episodes I think and I think they're probably the highlight of the season, but you have to wonder why Korra is always kidnapped. The series ends at a place where you need to wonder what will happen in the next series,
I give these two episodes an 8.5/10, with an overall 8/10 for the whole series. Probably this was the best out of all three seasons so far, so I'm egar to see what's in store for season 4. I'd love to keep going on about the season, but I might just reveal too much so it's best to just watch! Well, until next time!

The Legend of Korra, Episode 11, The Ultimatum (Episode Review)
Hello everybody! So I just came back from uni and decided to review the latest Legend of Korra episode "The Ultimatum". Well, as always I won't reveal too much of the plot but the main things which should be noted are that The Earth Palace in Ba Sing Se has become corrupt. Looters have started to steal everything. As Bolin and Mako make their way back to find Korra and the rest of the gang, Zaheer and the rest of the Red Lotus gang attack the northern air temple. Tenzin, Bumi and Kya helps the other Air Benders try and escape by battling with the Red Lotus.
So that's all I'll really say about the plot. I know I may have ruined it for some(sorry!). I thought that the episode was very interesting and exciting and definitely many things happen which leave this episode into a cliff hanger.
I think after the previous episode where the Earth Queen was suffocated, Avatar became less child friendly, and more teen oriented as usually you don't see these sort of things on screen on Nickelodeon, but the thing is that they moved online, so maybe that could have been a reason why??
In this episode, I think there are many times in which you can expect that a character has died, or will die. I think the Aang gang are very Heroic, and also Kai as they are trying to save all the other air benders. SO actually this episode is quite emotional.
As the red lotus are trying to exterminate the air benders, there is a lot of fighting going on at around the 2nd half of the episode, so you can expect pretty interesting action sequences.
Also, once you've finished this episode, do you think it was right for Bolin and Mako's grandma to want to stay at her own home as it was about to burn down??? Also that picture of the Earth Queen tat she was practically worshiping?? Either way, I think it proves that she's dead, as in the last episode, I was a bit unsure as no one gets killed in Avatar. The just die off screen or something, or are just mentioned.
Hope you enjoyed this recent review. I quite liked this episode. I'd give it a 8.5!!! Can't wait for te last episode next week, I can't believe that season 3 has come to an end almost! They should have continued the Aang adventures though, too bad it's just in comic book form. ANyway, consider watching this episode or series, bye!

The Legend of Korra Season 3, Episode 10, Long Live The Queen (Recap & Review)
Team avatar is captured on both sides (Red Lotus and Earth Queen). I just realised that the water bending lady has no arms! Amazing she can waterbend! I also realised that I find myself hating the Earth Kingdom now! The earth queen is annoying! Don't you wish the fire nation took over Ba Sing Se during Sozin's comet now!
In this episode Korra and Asami crash land in the desert while trying to make their escape. While Mako and Bolin are sent to the dungeons in the Earth Kingdom. Bolin tries to metal bend the bars to escape but fails(while doing some funny sounds lol). That's basically what happens half way into the episode. Later on the walls fall down in Ba Sing Se! Make sure you go and watch it!
I can't say that much happens in this episode action wise, but story wise, if you miss it, another chunk of the plot will be missing. Another plot twist happens at the end before the credits roll, so don't miss out!
That's all I have to say. This was just a quick talk on this episode.

The Legend of Korra Book 3 Change (TV Show Review)
We are currently up to book 3, episode 9. This is the first episode where they started showing episodes online only. I will not talk about episode 9 but on what's happened so far and my thoughts so if you don't want spoilers on stuff up to episode 9 I suggest you don't read this until you do.
I've been a fan of Avatar for as long as it came out. I used to watch the series once a month or two. My all time record was only 2.5 weeks apart before I watched the whole series again. It was sad to hear it end but when I heard about Legend of Korra I was really excited! I have to say the first book wasn't that great, and book 2 only got better towards the end.
By book 3 they explore more places other than just stay in Republic City. After Harmonic Convergence, new airbenders started popping up all over the place. What got me thinking was for one thing, yay the airbenders arn't almost extinct anymore, but really, was this how airbenders came to be? Could an airbender pop up in the fire nation with fire nation blood in them?? Hard to say but I guess the creators needed to save them somehow. Bumi became an airbender which means Avatar Aang didn't just have one but two Airbender sons in the family. TBH I thought he looked more like the firebender type but oh well haha.
In the first episode(or the second I don't remember) a giant plant thing attacks the city but after that episode where did it go? What happened? It's like they completely forgot about it. Maybe it'll come back in another episode?? Who knows but uh oh haha!
New characters are introduced including an Airbender named Kai who I've drawn a liking to. Maybe they'll create a new season with him, who knows haha, but he's my favourite in this season! He developed airbending skills quite quickly for someone who had only just got his bending abilities not too long ago.
Some other characters are introduced also but I won't go into too much depth as I'm sure you don't want me to talk about characters all day but in my opinion why does every season have it's own bad guy. Legend of Aang had Zuko, Zhao, Azula and Ozai but you kind of think every fire nation person is bad but Legend of Korra kind of goes all over the place with them. What we wonder in this series are who are these bad guys and what do they want with Korra?? In Episode 8 they try and capture her but is saved by her friends and comrades(can't spell the a word sorry ><).
Speaking of episode 8 there's a couple of things I remember too. Korra learns metal bending and Lin has a sister(who knew!) and the father? No one knows yet but people are eager to find out!

Season 3 has many plot turns and surprises! I'm ending the post here as I'm sure you're ready to watch this show if you haven't aready. If I had to rate it so far I'd give it a 8.5/10. In terms of story line it's really improved from the previous books. I think what's made it really interesting is that you want to know what will happen with the airbenders and why do people want to kidnap Korra? And Lin's family connections??? And the evil queen who's not good with animals. Oh well, there's still more episodes in store for Avatar so stay tuned! Watch if you haven't watched this series yet, especially if you like action, adventure with some sci-fi elements. It's commonly mistaken for an anime so if you like anime then possibly consider it. For now bye!
