What happens to normal people when others get powers? What rights do they have, and are those rights respected? And when the people in power push the non-powered around, what happens when the non-powered push back?
Paul and I discuss non-powered individuals in worlds where others wield extraordinary abilities. We focus particularly on Avatar: Legend of Korra, Season 1, and how it addresses this question, but we also broaden the topic to cover numerous other stories. Whether you're a hardcore Korra fan or have never seen the series, you'll be able to follow the discussion.
