Why Fans Are Completely Wrong About Korra: Janet Varney Reflects on Emotional Challenges

See More Avatar Panels    • Avatar: The Last Airbender Panels   Fans have been hating on Avatar Korra for YEARS calling her annoying arrogant and impatient in the early seasons. But the voice of Korra herself Janet Varney just dropped a massive truth bomb that completely DESTROYS the biggest complaints about her character. If you thought Korra was just a bratty teenager prepare to have your mind blown by the tragic reality of Aang's reincarnation cycle. In this exclusive Q&A Janet reveals exactly why fans are completely wrong about Korra's personality. She explains how Aang's guilt over missing 100 years directly caused Korra to reincarnate with a fiery impatient need to save the world immediately. It was never about her being a brat it was about the trauma of the past Avatar pushing her to be a child prodigy! Janet also exposes the hidden struggles of voicing the Avatar. Unlike Japanese anime dubbing Nickelodeon records the voices BEFORE the animation is finished. You will not believe how distracting it is to match fight scenes when legends like Dee Bradley Baker are in the same room making wild animal noises for Naga and Pabu. Plus Janet dives deep into Korra's emotional rollercoaster and how this role forced her out of her comedy comfort zone into serious acting.
