Legend of Korra: A Flawed Show for A Flawed World

In many ways Legend of Korra is more timely than ever because it forces us to examine our hero worship and the notion that one person will save us from destruction or that the simple removal of one villain will solve all of our problems.

Drawn to Comics: Legend of Korra Turf Wars Pt. 2 Stays as Gay as Ever

“I was about to write, “this book almost seems like fan service,” but, nope, it doesn’t just seem that way, it is fan service.”

Drawn to Comics: “Legend of Korra: Turf Wars” Answers Your Korrasami Prayers by Being Really Gay

This book is just straighforwardly gay. Like, capital G Gay. If you were looking for nuance or subtext, this comic is not for you. Literally the first 21 pages are just Korra and Asami being gay and talking about their relationship. Nothing else happens.

“Legend of Korra”‘s Final Scene Wasn’t Enough and Why We Must Demand More

I’m damn furious that six years ago, Nickelodeon was allowed to show a 12-year-old boy kissing a 14-year-old girl and saying “I love you,” but now, they refuse to show a 21-year-old woman do either of those things with her 22-year-old female partner.

Korrasami, Queer Representation and Saying Goodbye to the “Legend of Korra”

But in the end, it’s Asami that Korra holds hands with, Asami that Korra decides to vacation with, Asami who’s there for her in the end, Asami with whom Korra shares lingering glances and momentary intimacies.
