Korra's Mom Speaks Out! Alex McKenna on the Dark Avatar | Braving the Elements S4 Ep29 | Avatar


Note: As of posting, this episode is currently unavailable in the U.K. and Ireland, however, the audio version can be listened to here.

The fate of the Avatar world hangs in the balance with the arrival of Harmonic Convergence. In this episode of Avatar: Braving the Elements, hosts Janet Varney (Korra) and Dante Basco (Zuko) sit down with Alex McKenna, the voice of Senna (Korra’s mom), to explore one of the most pivotal moments in The Legend of Korra: Unalaq’s shocking plan to fuse with Vaatu and create a Dark Avatar. Alex shares behind-the-scenes stories from recording sessions and her thoughts on Korra’s family dynamics and the fandom’s favorite ship, Korrasami. The conversation dives into why Harmonic Convergence changes everything, the philosophy of balance between light and dark, and what it truly means to be the Avatar when darkness rises. Along the way, we celebrate Naga’s fierce loyalty, Bumi’s unexpected heroics, and the emotional stakes that make this episode unforgettable.
