Line 263:
** The battle moves fast enough that it's hard to notice, but [https://web.archive.org/web/20120629215550/http://korra.avatarspirit.net/screenshots.php?quality=hd&num=103=40 screenshots of "The Revelation"] indicate that the Equalist who chi-blocks Korra has a [[Samus Is a Girl|feminine figure]]. Guess they really do strive for equality...
** A certain man in a yellow suit and a hat with a red feathery puff on top has been featured in nearly every crowd shot so far. Fans have made a game out of finding him.
* [[Freudian Trio]]:
** Korra, Mako, and Bolin as the pro-bending team the Fire Ferrets. This extends to their [[Elemental Powers|bending]] itself (Water, Earth, Fire), [[Chromatic Arrangement]] / [[Elemental Eye Colors]] ([[Color Coded for Your Convenience|Blue, Red, Green]]), ''and'' their setup as a [[Freudian Trio]] ([[The McCoy]], [[The Spock]], [[The Kirk]]).▼
** The Triple Threat Triad grunts deliberately [[Invoked Trope]] this with their [[Justified Trope|team of three]], an Earth, Fire and Waterbender... at least, until Korra kicks their butts.▼
* [[From the Mouths of Babes]]: Ikki pulls this on Korra in "When Extremes Meet". She reveals Korra's crush on Mako to Asami, who was unaware of the crush beforehand. Ikki also likes to comment on stuff that isn't appropriate.
* [[Funny Background Event|Funny Side-frame Event]]: After declaring him "weird," Ikki [[Death Glare|stares]] at Tarrlok for ''twenty seconds''. The stare continues even after the camera pans to the left to focus on Tarrlok's conversation with Korra, where Ikki can be seen at the right of the shot, ''still staring at Tarrlok.''

** Before the series starts, after the Fire Nation dissolves its empire and retreats back to their frontiers pre-Aang, creating unintentionally a lot of tension as the people on those territories were racially mixed and integrated into the land, so deporting them was proven to be un-practical and unethical. Aang and his companions tried to create a conciliatory solution with the United Republic of Nations. By season 3, however, the cracks begin to show up.
▲** Korra, Mako, and Bolin as the pro-bending team the Fire Ferrets. This extends to their [[Elemental Powers|bending]] itself (Water, Earth, Fire), [[Chromatic Arrangement]] / [[Elemental Eye Colors]] ([[Color Coded for Your Convenience|Blue, Red, Green]]), ''and'' their setup as a [[Freudian Trio]] ([[The McCoy]], [[The Spock]], [[The Kirk]]).
** By season 4, that is what happened to the Earth Kingdom after its queen is killed. The main antagonist Kuvira is exactly the one tried to unify it again, but she is no legitimate heir to the throne and is not interested in a democratic solution to her own country's balkanization problems.
▲** The Triple Threat Triad grunts deliberately [[Invoked Trope]] this with their [[Justified Trope|team of three]], an Earth, Fire and Waterbender... at least, until Korra kicks their butts.
* [[Le Parkour]]: The urban cityscape setting allows for heavy use of the style in outdoor fight choreography, and an expert is employed as a [[Shown Their Work|consultant]].
* [[Made of Explodium]]: [[Played With]]. When Hiroshi is looking out the window of his mecha he sees Lin stabbing away at another, which then appears to explode. Cut to a different POV and its revealed to really have been Korra blowing fire on his window.
