Myth in The Legend of Korra

Discuss the use of myth in The Legend of Korra. What historical religions, legends, myths did the creators draw inspiration from? How does this shape their animation and style? The mythology of The Legend of Korra (and its predecessor, The Last Airbender) has always fascinated me and I'd love to see it analyzed in depth.

Check out Buddhism. There are tons of similarities between how the Avatar is chosen/found again and how the next Buddha is chosen/found again. It's quite interesting, but almost kind of lame when you realize how much the creators stole from Chinese culture! – Dominic Sceski 7 years ago

Jun 25, 2017 Jennifer Waldkirch Very insightful piece! I never really understood the whole STD metaphor in It Follow. Your analysis makes a lot more sense to me. It’s certainly a movie with a multitude of interpretations, but I like the way you connect it to historical and spatial memory in America.	New Horror: An Evolving Genre

Jun 25, 2017 Jennifer Waldkirch Agree 100%. The Joker gets top marks from me because he’s the only comic book villain I have nightmares about. In the past few decades, with the exception of a few less than stellar depictions (cough Suicide Squad), Joker has become the most evil, most twisted, most demented character in DC. And we love him for it. Also gotta love a comic book character that breaks the fourth wall.	Why The Joker Is The Best Villain We Have Ever Seen
