I don’t need help.’ Or, ‘let me just barrel into something without thinking about it because thinking sometimes is scary, so if I just act really quickly maybe it’ll work out.’ And I think I had those feelings of like, ‘Oh, Korra, come on, hold on, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa - why don’t you talk to Tenzin about this?’ or ‘You have friends, why don’t you ask for help?’ And so we minimize, or we try to think, ‘I can do this by myself. “Or those places that many of us go to where the truth is maybe really scary. “I had the same frustrations that viewers had for the first season with Korra, this stubborn behavior in the way that she was defensive about herself, which you could classify as maybe being in denial,” said Varney. Don’t think about that because … the more you respect and esteem something, if you have a chance at being anywhere near it, there’s a sense of like I almost wish I didn’t care about this because then I would just breeze in there like, ‘Hey, how you doing? You should be you’d be lucky to have me,’ instead of ‘Oh gosh.’”įinally, what advice would Janet give to Korra, with the benefit of hindsight and a different perspective? But, boy, knowing the universe and being a fan of it, it was like, ‘Don’t think about that’. “Nickelodeon rightly was carefully secretive about their process and about what the characters would look like, and what they were all about.

And so, I think some of these things that we’ve seen that are landmark moments like characters being able to be openly queer and celebrated on television, or any of the fantastic motion that we’re seeing in black lives matter right now, and all kinds of other worthwhile conversations and movements, that we have to push forward. But we’re all a product of our environment. And as easy as it is for us to get angry that things didn’t move faster than they have - and anger is good, because it propels us forward - it’s very important, and righteous indignation is very important. “This is a whole other very long conversation that I’m sure many of you guys are having with friends and thinking about on your own. “I think that’s a really important thing to keep in mind,” Varney said.
