Issues of structural racism against Black and Indigenous populations are very much a part of the conversation that we are not having about how police brutality intersects with these shows.

Why do we make jokes on April 1? Where did this tradition come from? Maybe if we know more about the history of April Fools' Day we can leave it in the past.

The Legend of Korra and the Treatment of Suffering in Fiction

Korra overlooking Republic City.

The Legend of Korra is a show always ripe for a retrospective. The Avatar: The Last Airbender sequel series that ran for four seasons (2012-2014) was divisive among fans of the previous incarnation, especially with the earlier seasons. Most people pinpoint the third and fourth seasons (Books: Change & Balance) as the high points of the series, but something controversial did happen: the depowering of Korra.
