what happens

Book Four is set three years after Book Three. Now broken and bruised, Korra begins a journey of self-discovery and survival as the strong prey upon the weak. When an aggressive military force rises up led by the power-hungry Kuvira, the fate of the Earth Kingdom hangs in the balance and only the Avatar can set things right.

Left to right is the season — its first episode to its last. Each remark sits in the episode it was made about.

➖ steady — Holds one level all the way. Pulled both ways throughout — never simply one thing. Early on it was tender and painful at the same time, which is the state people mean by being moved. It tightens hardest in the last stretch.

gold above: how tender it felt. violet below — what it cost. Thick on both at once means it was doing both.
tension rail: how much was still unresolved
grey haze: how sure we are — wider means fewer people described it

Grouped by where it was written, because a considered review and a reaction typed an hour after the credits are different things. Every quote links to its source.

“That was the scene that solidified Korra as not only being my favorite character in either show, but solidified my preference for LoK of ATLA (though both are obviously great). You just expected, after the triumphant moment at the end of episode 4, that Korra’s going to come out more mature but ready to kick ass. And then, this happened. I always tear up a little watching it, especially seeing the defeated look on her face afterwards. She realizes that it wasn’t just the physical damage that was done to her; the mental and emotional scars cut just as deep, if not deeper.”

Every episode has a page — its synopsis, who was in it, and a place to rate it. A number appears when discussion or ratings support one; where there is neither, the dash is the honest answer.
