** Korra pulls a ''huge'' one after being fed cotton candy by Mako on the Book 2 pilot.
** On a more subtle note, Jinora's slight overbite means [[http://media.tumblr.com/e12236c6eeb05ae77f7957b533dc616d/tumblr_inline_mj4ib0NoNV1qz4rgp.png she ends up pulling quite a few]], and it's ''adorable''.

** Bumi has inherited Aang's knack for predicting the future but doing so in such a wacky way that no-one takes him seriously. Most memorably, in "A New Spiritual Age" he tells Tenzin to wake him up if, say, Korra and Jinora's bodies begin floating around and someone needs to catch them. Cue the episode's climax, when Unalaq suspends the two girls' souls in mid-air and very nearly destroys them - until the dragon-bird Korra helped pulls a BigDamnHeroes and carried her away from the battle.

* TheFirstSuperheroes: Episodes "[[Recap/TheLegendOfKorraS2E7BeginningsPartOne Beginnings Part 1]]" and "[[Recap/TheLegendOfKorraS2E8BeginningsPartTwo Beginnings Part 2]]" show the origins of benders and of the Avatar in the world of the series. Where elemental bending was once a temporary ability gifted to humans by lion turtles to protect them in the spirit wilds, Wan and Raava's battle with Vaatu not only turned Wan into the Avatar, the first and only bender able to hold all four elements (and starting the line of reincarnation), but also made the lion turtles decide to leave humanity to its own devices (since they no longer needed protecting from spirits), leaving those who still had bending abilities with them permanently to pass on to future generations.

That's not really an intentional call back.


** A non-verbal one, but in the original series, Roku stated, [[spoiler: "Being The Avatar doesn't hurt your chances with the ladies."]] and true to form, [[spoiler: ''Korra, herself'' ends up with (another) lady in Asami after the day is saved.]]

Added DiffLines:

* DisownedSibling:
** This happens between Tonraq and Unalaq. During their final confrontation, after the reveal of several betrayals Unalaq took to usurp his throne, Tonraq declares Unalaq is no brother of his. Unalaq is unconcerned.
** In "The Spirit of Competition", Bolin walks in on Korra kissing Mako, devastating him. Mako finds him at a restaurant, [[ComfortFood stuffing his face with noodles]]. In a fit of InelegantBlubbering, Bolin says Mako's no longer his brother, but a "brother betrayer". Mako is having none of this and drags him out of there.
