Unlike Aang's adventures, which built over the course of three seasons to a climatic end, Korra's story seems to implement a 'villain of the season' motif. Even Bolin's romance with Eska was put on hold. With Mako and Korra's relationship officially over, Team Avatar is back to where they began. 'Darkness Falls' and 'Light in the Dark' in many ways, hit the reset button on the series. As Korra puts it, we've entered into "a new age." Without the ability to connect with past Avatars, like Aang and Wan, who will she look to for guidance? Perhaps with Jinora's new spiritual gifts she can somehow find a way to restore Korra's connection? With the spirit portal open, there are other possibilities for new stories to emerge as the show moves forward. One of the most significant consequences from Korra's fight with Vaatu is her lost connection to past lives. Now that season 2 is complete, we can theorize on what the next season will have in store. Hopefully Jinora's new abilities will be explained further in 'Book 3.' Shipka is the perfect voice-actor for Jinora, who sounds wise beyond her years. The young airbender can seemingly exist in both realms simultaneously. What is she exactly, and is she now the newest member of "Team Avatar." First of all, Kiernan Shipka ( Mad Men) deserves applause for her portrayal of Tenzin's oldest daughter. The subject of Jinora's "powers" must be addressed. Korra has already proved herself strong the very first time we met her as a young girl however, in 'Light in the Dark,' she demonstrates not only her strength, but her wisdom as well. Even without Raava inside her, we learn that being the Avatar starts with the individual, and not the spirit within them. Tenzin's advice to Korra to "bend the energy within herself" was an interesting turn of events. Korra had to dig deep (literally) to discover the light inside herself to combat Vaatu/Unalaq. Next to the four-part finale from the original series, The Legend of Korra season 2 finale offers quite possibly the most beautifully choreographed animated fight scene this reviewer has seen. Even though her absence was keenly felt, the final battle was no less thrilling. Well, that's Team Avatar minus Asami, who basically plays nurse with Katara for the entire episode. With Tenzin's family safe, the fate of the world now rests with Team Avatar. Aang's words of wisdom to his son were touching, and proved once again why The Last Airbender franchise is one of the best shows of any genre. Simmons ( Spider-Man) gives another superb performance, as Tenzin tells his father that he failed him.
Confronting his father (Aang) was a fitting conclusion, by allowing Tenzin to let go of all the guilt he was carrying. 'Book 2: Spirits' has given viewers some wonderful moments with Tenzin and his family. The wise airbender may not have had the fate of the world on his shoulders, but the search for his family in "The Fog of Lost Souls" was no less important than Korra's quest. Building upon an already densely layered mythology, The Legend of Korra ventures deeper into the realm of imagination during its exciting two-part finale, titled 'Darkness Falls' and 'Light in the Dark.' With 10,000 years of darkness at stake, Korra must face her toughest opponent yet.Įven though the show's title might suggest otherwise, Tenzin's story was just as vital.
