Aang used his power to defeat a tyrant while staying true to his values, while Amon is using his ability to manipulate and terrorize people. Who was the hardest character to crack throughout The Legend of Korra , and what was the breakthrough moment that helped you make sense of them? I remember early on trying to figure out who or what would challenge her the most.
Once we figured out that people like Tenzin and Lin Beifong who should be her mentor figures could actually hinder Korra in her quest to study airbending and take on the job she was meant to do, that helped me understand her predicament better. And coming up with Amon solidified everything.
Since Korra was pro-bending, having an antagonist who was philosophically anti-bending gave her the perfect obstacle to her growth and challenged her worldview. Maybe something that felt way out there, or you stumbled into, but then it became obvious and rooted itself in the show. But with the season 2 storyline, the pieces all fell into place in a way that seemed plausible in the realm of the Avatar universe. Konietzko: There was much about the spirit world we had not worked out back on ATLA, but this idea of a mythic, prehistoric era when lion-turtles roamed the world with cities on their backs was kicking around as far back as when we were making the test pilot.
Mike and I had some broad ideas for how the lion-turtles played an important role in the creation of the first Avatar. As we got into Book 2 of Korra , it ended up fitting well with the themes and the plot, so we went for it. From an art direction standpoint, it was a lot of fun to come up with the different palette and background style. Was it a challenge to put him in a position where Korra had to question and defeat him?
Does Zaheer play differently now than he did then? Konietzko: The feedback I have consistently heard from fans is that Zaheer really messes with their heads because the things he does are so awful, yet they feel he makes some really good points. I think a big part of our creative point of view is to explore the gray areas in everything, especially with our villains. We try to look at all of our characters as people first, then as heroes or villains second — or perhaps more accurately, protagonists and antagonists.
It is far more dynamic and realistic if that character believes they are on the right side. Korra suffers a great deal of trauma across the series. What kind of conversations were you having on the writing and production side to be authentic about that? I remember reading about PTSD and people who had experienced traumatic events and what that recovery was like. So much of the show is about not solving every problem with a punch, but you still get to have a giant robot attack in the Book 4 finale.
Did you envision that finale set piece from the beginning and work backward to Kuvira or did something about Kuvira give you the clear to go that big? In a lot of cases, once we figure out an antagonist then that character tells us where the story needs to go. We have something in store.
It seems like we always do some kind of flashback episode or sequence, something like that. It definitely deals with the legacy of the Avatar. They both have these really important jobs. I think those are kind of interesting things for us to deal with. I will make a post about it around if it will happen or not. They've got the full episodes plus Making of a Legend segments on Nick.
