Korra is one of those strange cats. It goes against ALL animation principles...female lead...minority...no merchandise. Usually, any ONE of these spells instant doom or heck even a "no go" or no greenlight for animation production. Korra is mainly used as a "flagship" model or "halo" product for Nickelodeon. They lose money on Korra, but in a way its their "show-off" piece. It's there to show that Nickolodeon can do more than just Spongebob. Think of it as Acura's NSX or Dodge's Viper. Every one of those cars they sell, they lose money...but what they do gain is image.
