Actor and filmmaker Devery Jacobs (Reservation Dogs) joins Janet Varney (Korra) and Dante Basco (Zuko) on Avatar: Braving the Elements to break down one of the most intense episodes in The Legend of Korra: 'Darkness Falls.' This is the moment everything changes, when Unalaq's plan to merge with the dark spirit Vaatu threatens to create something the Avatar world has never seen before: a Dark Avatar. Together, they explore what this twist means for Korra, the Avatar cycle, and the balance between light and darkness. From the emotional weight of Korra’s battle at the Tree of Time to the eerie Valley of Lost Souls and the heartbreaking loss of her connection to past Avatars, the conversation dives deep into why this episode hits so hard. There's plenty of fun too, like Bolin's unexpected romantic confession and the ongoing debate over badgermoles versus flying bison. At its core, this discussion asks big questions: What happens when darkness wins? And what does that say about balance in the Avatar world? Will light prevail—or has the age of the Dark Avatar begun?
