jadedmusings: (ATLA - Aang Water Octopus)
Three episodes in and Brian and Mike are pulling zero punches. I had heard them say Korra was going to be gritty and edgy, but I had no idea how far they were going to push. And I love, love, love that they are showing consequences from the actions of the previous Avatar (Aang, obviously) and his compatriots. Yes, it's children's television; however, there are so many levels here and so many lessons, relevant lessons to our own time. (I mean, it's entirely possible the creators aren't trying to draw parallels between the 99%/Occupy movement and are really just drawing on real-life historical events, but it's so hard not to see the similarities.)

Here there be spoilers. )
