History TheLegendOfKorra / TropesMToR

** In Book 4, one of the heroes attempts to assassinate the BigBad in their sleep, yet everyone chooses terminilogy like "taken out" or "put an end to this" [[note]]Made more jarring when just two books prior, the BigBad of that season accuses the heroes for attemptng to assassinate him, and it was called as such then[[/note]]. Then in the finale, after [[spoiler:Kuvira and Korra get transported to the Spirit World]], the former just asks the latter, "Are we... dead?".

** In Book 4, one of the heroes attempts to assassinate the BigBad in their sleep, yet chooses words like "taken out" or "put an end to this". But in the finale, after [[spoiler:Kuvira and Korra get transported to the Spirit World]], the former just asks the latter, "Are we... dead?".

* NeverSayDie: [[ZigZaggedTrope It goes back and forth]].

** Book 3 has the rather grisly [[spoiler:on-screen asphyxiation of the Earth Queen]], but conspicuously uses euphemisms like "took out" or "brought down" to refer to the event afterward. Oddly enough, immediately afterwards, Bumi and Kya observe that they are going to die when [[spoiler: The Red Lotus attacks the Northern Air Temple.]] Two episodes later, it's averted again as Korra says to Zaheer, [[spoiler:"You killed my father!"]]
** In the Book 4 finale [[spoiler: Kuvira asks Korra "Are we ... dead?" after being transported to the spirit world, which is answered with "No, we're ok."]]

* NeverSayDie:
** Eska and Desna say the words expired and perish, but this is only because they like talking in SpockSpeak.

* ResetButton:
** The worst of Amon's crimes in season 1 are undone in the last moments of the finale. [[spoiler:Specifically, Korra gets her bending back and can now restore powers to Amon's previous victims using her newly-discovered energybending]].
** Harmonic Convergence is described as being this for the universe. The spirits of light and dark meet to fight a battle to define the next 10,000 years, and whatever the outcome, the world enters a new spiritual age. [[spoiler: In Korra's case, she loses all connection with the past Avatars, but her decision to reopen the spirit portals after her victory causes the Air Nation's rebirth, and a renewed connection between the physical world and the spirit world.]]

* OffModel:
** During a flashback, Toph is drawn with six fingers. They forgot to correct this when the same scene came up again, even though the scene isn't just a reused clip.
** In several scenes during "When Extremes Meet" Asami changes between her regular outfit and racing outfit, the difference is that the former outfit has a skirt.
** It was this reason (among others) that Creator/StudioPierrot did only six episodes of season two. Most noticeably, the characters never blink.
** While still drawn well, the animation became somewhat lazy after the first season (perfectly still characters with only their mouth flaps moving, unanimated background characters, still montages instead of animated scenes, etc.)

** Suyin again, between books 3 and 4: her refusal of Tenzan and Raiko's request to help bring stability back to the Earth Kingdom leaves open the door for Kuvira to take the job instead. Suyin also acts offended that they even asked her at all, implying she believes the request itself is immoral and no one should accept it, but offers no alternative suggestions for what could be done about a very real crisis.

** The first clip released of Book 4 is set not long after the end of Book 3, making it seem as if the series would pick up right where the the last season left off. The official trailer, released not long after, then revealed that Book 4 actually has a three year timeskip, putting that clip into context as a flashback.

* RebelLeader: Varrick and Tonraq separately dance around this trope for the Southern Water Tribe, though there's also the one voiced rebel that seems to represent the the group and is cast listed as the trope name. Tonraq steps up as the leader at the end of "Civil Wars Part 2".

** The New Team Avatar is this; a cocky, arrogant Avatar-in-training, a wise cracking StreetUrchin and his friendlier younger brother, and a wealthy heiress.

** The New Team Avatar is this; a cocky, arrogant Avatar-in-training, two {{Street Urchin}}s and a FallenPrincess.

** Zaheer and his crew consist of an airbender who favours chaos and is not above violence, a waterbender with no arms, an earthbender who bends lava, and a combustion-bender who is built like a WNBA player.
