Because the themes of the show are a little deeper than WOW COOL LETS BLOW SHIT UP AND FIGHT BAD GUYS, <i>The Legend of Korra</i> doesn’t get gratuitous with this in quite the over-the-top way that, say, an action movie like <i>The Avengers</i> might. <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://airawyn.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://airawyn.dreamwidth.org/'><b>airawyn</b></a></span> has supplied this deficiency by culling awesome action scenes from the show and lining them up with the lines and explosion and impact sound effects from the trailer in a way that emphasizes the badassery of the <i>Korra</i> characters, with a special emphasis on the female characters. Now, I love <i>Korra, </i>and I love and the other, deeper issues it tackles -- things like class conflict and civil rights and romance and friendship. And I had no idea that I was secretly craving a gratuitous action movie about badass female characters, but holy crap, was I ever. For me this vid is a huge treat and incredibly, unexpectedly cathartic, and I am especially a fan of Lin Beifong being voiced by Samuel L. Jackson. (Now if only I could get someone to make me a full-length feature film along these lines…*g*)</span><br /><br /><strike>(Are you there, </strike><span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='https://chaila.dreamwidth.org/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /></a><a href='https://chaila.dreamwidth.org/'><b>chaila</b></a></span><strike>?
