The Lore Axe is a show where we break down some of the world's most popular fictional worlds -- from sci-fi and fantasy to video games and literature -- and explore them in depth from a philosophical, historical, and sociological lens.
Presented and created by Khalil Thirloway and Alex Hamilton, two friends who needed an outlet to talk about things way too deeply without irritating their friends at gatherings.

We end our Avatar two-parter by talking about the sequel series Legend of Korra.
Conceptualised in 2010 and run from 2012 to 2014, Korra expanded on the universe of Last Airbender and moved the story forward by 70 years.
Someone who was 10 when Last Airender launched would be 17 when Korra aired, and the show ages up its protagonist to match.
We ask: how does the show deal with that growing up? And how does it do when trying to create more complex storyline featuring bigger topics like freedom, anarchism, authoritarianism, and religion?
