Villains, by their very nature, are often misguided by a lack of vision. Korra inhabits a modern world and strains to connect to the spiritual aspect of herself.
Viewers’ first introduction to the Avatar, Aang of the original series, inhabits a more ancient-looking world and is a spiritual person. They each induce viewers to think: “What if the villain has a point?” Each season, and thus each new villain, addresses another facet of Korra’s character. Not only are the villains connected to Korra, but perhaps even more importantly they are linked to each other through Korra. In The Legend of Korra, the villains are all inextricably linked to Korra’s journey as the series’ heroine.
The Legend of Korra, the sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender, portrays many of its villains in a way that questions the hero’s own motives and abilities. The Legend of Korra: Empathizing with VillainsĪ traditional hero’s journey portrays villains as impediments the hero must overcome, not as building blocks for the hero to progress as an individual.
