A Peek Inside The Animation Studio Behind The Legend Of Korra

by Kellie Foxx-Gonzalez | 1:14 pm, July 11th, 2012


I know we’re all still freaking out about season one of The Legend Of Korra (omgwhenwillseasontwoair) so here’s a Korra-related video to tide you over: it’s an inside look at Studio Mir, the animators responsible for season four of The Boondocks, an animated sequence in Think Like A Man, and of course, our strong-willed Avatar Korra. The studio was launched by Jae Myung Yoo, who was an animation director on Avatar: The Last Airbender. It’s kind of nice to see the faces of the folks who have brought one of the most beloved women of color characters in nerd culture to life, isn’t it?

    You know what I’ve noticed? Aside from a few  Korra Nation episode clips, Asami is in hardly any promotional materials or trailers or featurettes or anything. She just isn’t. And I can’t figure out why. She was in about two seconds of footage before she appeared in the show, she was conspicuously absent in the Welcome to Republic City game, she’s not among the Korra Nation character portrait prizes, she’s not even in the banner of the LOK Facebook page.

    That seems like… not a lot of represnetation for a main character and a member of Team Avatar. :/

    I really dislike that Asami’s character was mainly used as a romantic interest between Mako and Korra. I like her a lot more than some of the characters on the show; finding the truth about her father, and Mako screwing her over, she still remains as part of the team! Plus she kicked ass in a giant robot suit so…

     I love the show, but man they screwed Asami over big time. She deserves better. If I had a say she would’ve crashed into Korra (instead of Mako) and they’d become friends after that, no stupid shipping drama.

    More Asians in that room than in the entire cast of The Last Airbender.
