Everything was structured so that even the newer characters introduced, like Kai, Opal, and the other airbenders, became important parts of the season as a whole and were given arcs that turned them into pretty likeable characters. And this season, there were plenty of both. One of my issues with Book 3 is that we needed even more of these moments of them together.Īll of our characters played a central role this time and got their chances to shine, both in kickass form in battle and in the emotional moments. The lead-up from the investigation at Zaofu to the hotel stakeout was so much fun, because for the first time since Book 1, we got to see our core foursome working together quite well. Also, any episode where a noisy Pabu is MVP is a good one for me. We got to see everyone other than Korra show their stuff, all in nothing but their pajamas.

The "shoot-out" sequence against the Red Lotus in Zaofu was one of my favorite moments in the series so far. Two of my favorite episodes were the really fun back-to-back The Terror Within and The Stakeout. The stop at Zaofu may have even been a good point to do an episode similar to ATLA’s The Tales of Ba Sing Se. As cute as the chibi-style montage was with Tenzin wonderfully failing at recruiting airbenders ("Your best friend will be a giant bison!"), I would have preferred this be extended by an episode or two, so we could really enjoy the feeling of being on an adventure with our team and get to see them being friends and not just teammates. I was actually hoping for more low-key character-building filler really fleshing out this crew (or Krew) that we've come to know for the past two seasons. In fact, this is the first time I really cared for our main four as a team. But more importantly, it kept our Team Avatar together, and not scattered about on aimless subplots. We finally got to really see this post-ATLA world outside of Republic City, and I wish we had gotten the chance to travel even more. The world-hopping adventure looking for stray airbenders was such a great way to start the season. What I enjoyed about Book 3 is that it actually takes the time to have some fun, which I felt the show hasn't done since the early pro-bending days. I liked that the whole plot of this season tied into the events of Book 2, so that for whatever issues we may have with that season, it ended up being quite instrumental to the future of the show. But the main focus this season isn’t on the union of spirits and humans like I thought it would be, but on the sudden revival of the airbenders thanks to Harmonic Convergence. Korra has left the portal to the Spirit World open, and now humans and spirits are living together… or at least trying. 9/10.The fantastic first episode of the season, appropriately titled A Breath of Fresh Air, picks up two weeks after the events of the Book 2 finale.
This season was very exciting to watch, and the finale is super intense. Korra also had to help recruit airbenders to rebuild the air nation after the genocide during the hundred year war in the original series. Of course, he did succeed, but only for one world leader, which was the Earth Queen (aka my least favorite character in the season). Of course, he wanted to wipe out all world leaders since he thought they were the cause of everyone incapable of being free.
His devotion to his philosophies to freedom tie in to his airbending skills rather flawlessly. Also, it seemed that harmonic convergence was able to bring back the air nation as non benders around the world had the random ability to airbend, though Zaheer was one of those people, unfortunately. Zaheer is a madman who's philosophies are taken too far because he believes in freedom. The villains are super good, as they had the most impact on Korra out of any of the other villains in the series.
By far, my favorite season in the entire show.
