Never Gonna Give Yue UpPosts: 50 The Legend of Korra: Timeline of Events « on: Aug 22, 2012 11:50 pm » When re-watching a series, I often marvel at how certain events relate to one another in terms of time. It’s interesting to discover that events you thought took place days apart actually occurred on the same day, or much closer together/farther apart than you realized. It also helps put the entire plot in a new perspective. I did this with the Legend of Korra, beginning with Episode 3 (When the conflict kicks up) to the end of the series (with the death of Amon.)



The timeline was a little difficult to trace near the beginning of the show, since there were a number of small time skips between episodes and events, but as the series progressed it became far easier to pin it all down, and the timeline becomes more cohesive.



So for your convenience:





----LEGEND OF KORRA TIMELINE OF EVENTS----









BEGINNING STAGES:



DAY 1: Bolin falls in with the Triple Threat Triad. Kidnapped by Equalists. Mako and Korra pursue, but lose his trail.

DAY 2: Mako and Korra attend an Equalist Rally, where Amon unveils his power. They rescue Bolin and escape.



(Short time skip follows, presumably a couple days.)







EARLY STAGES:



(This section of the timeline is not 100% certain. While the events presented in Episode 104 seem to flow directly one day after the other, it is still possible that small, unspecified time skips do exist between them. For example, Asami talks about a scarf she gave to Mako last week, which indicates that a day or two might have been skipped in here somewhere.)



DAY 1: Tarrlok forms his task force. Amon encourages his followers in a radio broadcast.

DAY 2: Asami hits Mako with moped. Asks him on a date. Tarrlok asks Korra to join his task force and is rejected.

DAY 3: Asami and Mako’s date.

DAY 4: Hiroshi offers to sponsor the Fire Ferrets in the Pro-Pending tournament. Tarrlok throws a gala for Korra and convinces her to join his task force.

DAY 5: Tarrlok’s task force executes a raid on an Equalist hideout.

DAY 6: Korra challenges Amon to a duel

DAY 7: (Early morning) Amon ambushes and threatens Korra.



(Time skip follows: at least several days, though it could be longer--possibly a couple weeks. This is the last big time jump.)







PRO-BENDING CHAMPIONSHIP:



DAY 1: Korra has a love-talk with Pema and the Airbender girls. Opening night of the Championship. Fire Ferrets defeat Rabaroos. Korra turned down by Mako. Korra and Bolin go on a date.

DAY 2: Fire Ferrets win quarter-final match against the Boar-Q-Pines. Korra kisses Mako.

DAY 3: Mako finds Bolin drunk on noodles. Fire Ferrets face the Buzzard Wasps in the semi-finals.

DAY 4: Amon warns Council to close the arena. Lin Bei Fong provides security. Bending finals, Wolfbat victory. Amon attacks stadium and blows up the arena.



(Time skip follows, presumably a couple of days.)







AFTERMATH:



DAY 1: Mako and Bolin pack up to move in with Asami.

DAY 2: Korra visits Asami’s house. Overhears Hiroshi on the phone. Reports suspicions to Lin and Tenzin.

Day 3: Investigation of Future Industries. Hiroshi sets a trap for the investigators. Unveiling of mecha-tanks. Asami turns on her father.



(*Possible* time skip of a day. Two at most.)







LATE STAGES:



DAY 1: Mako, Bolin, and Asami move to Air Temple Island. Saikan inducted as the new Chief of Police. Team Avatar does its first patrol of the city.

DAY 2: Tarrlok proposes anti-Equalist law. Arrests non-bender protesters, along with Mako, Bolin, and Asami. Korra confronts Tarrlok and is captured.

DAY 3: Tarrlok is exposed as a Bloodbender. Captured and de-bended by Amon. Korra escapes.



(Time skip follows, presumably a couple of days.)







FINAL STAGES:



DAY 1: Equalists attack Republic City. Airbender family escapes. Lin Bei Fong captured and de-bended.

DAY 2: General Iroh receives word of Equalist victory.

DAY 3: No details given.

DAY 4: Rally in the park. Mass debending of POWs.

DAY 5: General Iroh’s fleet arrives. Fleet sunk by Equalist airplanes. Iroh rescued by Korra.

DAY 6: Amon’s past revealed. Final confrontation. Hiroshi defeated. Amon defeated.

DAY 7: General Bumi arrives in Republic City. Amon and Tarrlok die.





Bonus note: According to Hiroshi's letter, the rally in the park took place on a Saturday. Which means that Amon was defeated on a Monday. The humor here is quite conspicuous. « Last Edit: Aug 25, 2012 02:15 pm by Parhelion » Logged "There is great chaos under heaven, and the situation is excellent."

First, as Korra said "a few months ago I was in the South Pole, practising for...."



Second, episode 1 happens in Autumn (remember RC Park), episode 12, in Winter, definetely, which likely started in the middle (there was snow in episode 6) Logged "Some see a hopeless end, while others see an endless hope." "Some see a hopeless end, while others see an endless hope."

An uncertain amount of time passes between Episodes 2 and 3. Also, the gap between episodes 4 and 5, while seemingly a few days, could easily have been a week or two.



I'm pretty sure the entire show takes place in the autumn. Considering how far north Republic City is, the snow seems natural this time of year (Where I live, we often get snow in November.)



And yes--a few months ago, Korra was still in the South Pole practicing for her exams. But I don't see how that changes anything. An uncertain amount of time passes between Episodes 2 and 3.

I think what they were saying was that season1 had to be comprised over at least 3 months (few being more than couple). Molra probably forgot that you said you started your timeline with episode 3, giving plenty of time beforehand for ~a month~ to go by.

If that's the case, then why didn't the Krew get spring outfits instead of winter? I understand they have winter coats since they will be in the south pole (most likely) but what about spring clothes? Logged

They'll probably wear the winter clothes when they're at the poles and then wear their fall clothes again in the spring. The only ones who got clearly "winter" clothes though were Bolin and maybe Mako, with the trench. Asami's could be thin enough for spring, and Korra was shown without her coat.

Amon takes Lin's Bending, and LITTLE DOES HE KNOW he has only six days left to live. Logged

Yes, you can clearly see how it starts in autumn and progresses to the colder months, although I cant say for sure they officially pass into winter (autumn is the season of 'air' after all), but they do in fact make an effort to show that weeks pass from Episode 1 till the start of the tournament, especially since it starts to snow in the city.



After Episode 6, everything happens in quick succession. Amon attacks the arena in Episode 6, but we don't know for sure how many days pass between the attack and Bolin and Mako moving into the Sato mansion, then the Mecha Tank battle, they moving into Air Temple Island, etc.



I never got the impression that more than a day passed between Korra escaping the mountains and resting. It looks like she rested the entire day and we see them have dinner (or is it breakfast?)



Thing is, if months passed between Korra arriving at Republic City and Amon being defeated, we have to assume much of that time was between Episode 4 A Voice in the Night and Episode 5 a Spirit of Competition, that is the only episode that hints that Korra has been training for "weeks" and not helping Tarrlok out with the task force, and Future Industries firmly establishing itself as the Fire Ferret's sponsor.

Never Gonna Give Yue UpPosts: 4031 Re: The Legend of Korra: Timeline of Events « Reply #15 on: Dec 09, 2013 05:52 pm » Neat. I was thinking of doing a timeline for the events of Season two. So here it goes.



Rebel Spirit:



Day one: On December 18th, Korra races Tenzin's children and makes the decision to go south for the Glacier Spirits Festival.

Day two: On December 19th, Unalaq and his children dock on the shores of the Southern Water Tribe in time to celebrate the feast. That night a dark spirit attacks and is pacified by the northern Chief.

Day three: On the morning of December 20th, Unalaq tells Korra that she is needed for a special mission.



The Southern Lights:



Day one: Continuing from where "Rebel Spirit" leaves off, Korra and co. travel to the south pole to open the spirit portal. That night, Korra learns that her father was banished.

Day two: On December 21rst, Korra opens the spirit portal, restoring the spirit lights to the South.

Day three: On the morning of December 22nd, Korra learns that Northern troops have landed on southern shores and have blockaded the port.



Civil Wars pt. I:



Day one: Picking up from where the last episode left off, the events of this episode take place throughout the entirety of December 22nd and end on the morning of December 23rd.



Civil Wars pt II:



Day: Picking up from where the last episode left off: Korra's father is imprisoned, she learns the truth about her Uncle, and causes the Water Tribes to go to war.



Peacekeepers:



Day one: I pin the beginning of this episode on the following morning of the last episode. I know that traveling from the South Pole to Republic City in a single night sounds implausible but the reason I date this episode in such a way is because Eska is still in her wedding get up, which I assume suggest that the two episodes take place only hours apart.

Day two: After the attack on the Water Tribe cultural center, Korra and Varrick meet up with President Raiko on December 25th to discuss the possibility of Republic City aiding the South, only to be turned down.

Day three: Assuming that Tenzin's subplot is concurrent with Korra's misadventures, the scene where Meelo trains Pookie to sleep on the floor suggest that there is an additional day in the fifth episode's time frame. Anyway, Korra and Mako break up and she gets eaten by a Dark Spirit on December 26th.



The Sting-A New Spiritual Age



Day one: I have no idea on the exact chronology of these episodes but based on Bolin's comment, one week has passed since the end of Peacekeepers, which puts the beginning of the Guide on January 2nd.

Day two: On the morning of January 3rd, Korra emerges from the Spirit World without Jinora.



The Night of a Thousand Stars:



Day one: Picking up from where the last episode left off, Korra and co. come to the Air Temple with Jinora. Assuming that the events in Republic City are concurrent, Bolin saves the president from a kidnapping attempt. Korra and co. arrive at Republic City and Team Avatar is reunited.



Harmonic Convergence-The Light in the Dark:



Day one: A week have passed from the events of a New Spiritual Age which puts these episodes on January 9th-10th.

So rather than Dec 21, it was June 21 in "The Southern Lights". But since they were at the South Pole at the time, it was winter for them. The Republic City and Fire Nation episodes however were in the Summer. Logged

Remember--prior to the kidnapping attempt, they were going to set out for the North Pole ASAP. I think Unalaq's hope was that out of sight would prove out of mind regarding the whole 'occupation of the South', and that he could get Korra up North, get her to open the Northern Portal, and then finish her off with the metaphorical shovel to the back of the head that is his soul-kill move. (Following which, sit on the Portals, wait for the Harmonic Convergence, and declare victory!)



Which means that the day was at least partially saved by Varrick's rabble-rousing and criminal tendencies. (Sidenote--notice how Varrick used the same basic plan, with mild variations, on Raiko?) And by Unalaq's inability not to be a real d*ck to his brother when a good opportunity presents itself. Logged

No. Remember that the time Korra opened the portal was in the south pole during the winter solstice. No. Remember that the time Korra opened the portal was in the south pole during the winter solstice. Logged

Anyway, does anyone here want to offer any corrections to my timeline or does it look good and all? By the way, it took one night to get from the South to Republic City but approximately a week to cover the same distance in reverse. Granted, Varrick's yacht was built for speed but I find it strange that it took that long for them to travel back. I guess that characters really do travel at the speed of plot but, it appears that in in this case the plot demanded that time worked against Korra. « Last Edit: Dec 11, 2013 01:16 pm by Colonel_Brian » Logged

Like for instances this year the winter solstice in the year 2013 is December 21. And Unlaq clearly stated that Korra had to opened the portal on the winter solstice and I think Korra says something like "that's in a few days" after the Spirits Festival. So if Book 2 begins in December Book 1 ended in July.

In the Southern Hemisphere, our Winter season is from June to August while in the Northern Hemisphere it's from December to March, our Summer season.



So in LoK, the Winter Solstice would have occurred at some point in June. So Book 2 started in Winter and ended roughly around the end of Spring. Logged
