Legend of Korra: Beginnings 1 & 2

[thedeadparrot]

I unabashedly loved this week's Legend of Korra. It wasn't perfect, not hardly, but it was gorgeous and surprisingly powerful given the time limitations. I love all worldbuilding, so getting to see the First Avatar and the world at that time (those backgrounds! guh). While I admire the ambition to tell more nuanced, complex stories in present day Korra universe, it's clear that the writers are struggling with it. It was nice to have a stand-alone story that frees them from those limitations, at least for a little while.
