Raya and the Last Dragon, Avatar, and Korra are part of a vital new trend - Polygon
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
Disney’s new princess Raya drew early comparisons to Avatar: The Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra universe, but it’s anything but a ripoff. Raya is part of an increasing trend to get away from the touchstones of fantasy like JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings and reflect Asian heritage and mythology.
