It’s rather similar to Iron Man 3 (2013) or Jessica Jones (2015), both of which gave us superhero stories that show how post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms manifest in a main character. Released by Nickelodeon in 2012, Legend of Korra ( LOK) isn’t any more perfect than Korra herself, but it did break ground and, as a result, Korra has been called a “hero” for her representation of mental illness. Superheroes show us how to fight villains, but the best superheroes also show us how to continue the fight while processing the trauma that comes with our journey toward justice.
