Well that's because they're based off of eskimo's or fillipino's who tend to have darker skin than most Asians.

Since the Avatar world is based on Asian culture, they can't have any black people on the show, so in order to make the series politically correct they had to have some main cast members with darker skin even if they were still Asian.

Even if the Avatar world is based on Asia, they could add a couple of other races to the mix. I mean India takes up a large part of Asia and there are no Indians in the series as far as I recall.

Well I know Cybercubed griped about no definite deaths or kills, well Korra has that so you should be happy

Korra has a murder/suicide at the end of season 1, but I'm sure that won't satiate his childish death and violence lust.

Why does everything have to do with political correctness??? Why couldn't the creators just have decided they wanted the water tribe tanned because they liked the idea???

the same with their eye colors.....they color-coded them based on the nation's element.

*CyberCubed* · 09-22-2014, 06:05 PM

I just figure the reason characters like Katara and Korra were given darker skin was to make up for the fact that the universe is based on Asian culture, so all the characters would look "white" to the average person watching the show.

There are no black people, Indians, muslims, Russian's, Europeans, etc.

So giving darker skin tone to two female leads was to make up for this. Even though the whole water tribe are blatantly based on Eskimo's.

I mean I've seen some pics of Korra online, how do you guys honestly watch a show with her chest that large? Its honestly distracting.

korra is more Boob+pecs

I'm going to watch the first two episodes of Korra tonight as a, "trial run" and see if I want to stick with it. Wish me luck.

3rd Episode 'The Revelation' is where the show really shines!

*CyberCubed* · 09-22-2014, 06:38 PM

OK I will watch the first 3 episodes some time later tonight and report back with a full review. I still can't get over Korra's chest from the screenshots I've seen though. Her knockers are way too big for a kids show.

*MrTMNT2012* · 09-22-2014, 06:40 PM

Funny enough, her breasts are toned down tremendously by Book 2...mostly because of Studio Pierrot!

(Can't believe I'm talking about Korra's boobs....'sigh')

Well, I hope you enjoy it more than Cubed apparently has. One of the best shows to come from Nickelodeon, imo.

It literally hurts to read your posts. I mean seriously?! You really think kids give a damn about Korra's chest size!?
