TV: The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra

[saman]

Sorta. Aang's people are still extinct. Zuko is still looking for his mother, and Toph never did reconcile with her parents.

Also, Space Sword is missing!

They left a lot of threads hanging.

they did, but i didn't mind. it showed that the characters' lives continued after the ending of the show, and everything didn't up neat and packaged with a little bow on top. it added a sense of realism to it. also, from a fandom point of view, it's kept people speculating about it long after the show ended. it would definitely be nice to know what happened to everyone from the original show, but to make a new series just to tie up the end of the series would, again, be overkill. personally, the only resolution i'd like to see would be with zuko's mom. and the return of space sword and boomerang, of course

anyway, turns out korra's going to be a mini-series with about 12 episodes. there's apparently also a character named meelo.

Looking forward to this! hopefully this will wipe out the stain that was M Night's Last Airbender and breath some new life into the series

Not really, just a lot of fan art.

A trailer for the new series is out

Holy shit, that looks sick!

What are the plans for the release date?

[Munsu]

Yeah, the animation looks quite good. Will certainly be watching this.

[Death BOO Z]

it's look like "AVATAR, now in NEW YORK!"
central park and everything.

[Pandadice]

Unfortunately as far as I can find it's not airing until mid-2012

Avatar is probably the best TV show I've watched in 10 years. If this sequel is half as good it will be brilliant.

[animus]

She rides a fucking polar bear. Hell yeah.

Edit: Actually on closer inspection, it's a bear/dog/horse hybrid thing.

Anyways I would've liked the main character to have been male. Not because I'm a chauvinist or a sexist, but because Waterbending is the main element of the protagonist and 99% of the time water is associated with a female. Would've liked to seen a male protagonist control water for once.

I can't tell you how psyched I am that they have changed this from a miniseries to a full season.

but because Waterbending is the main element of the protagonist and 99% of the time water is associated with a female.

Except of course for the entire Southern Water Tribe where all the combat waterbenders were male...

With the technology and development that the fire nation had it's not really that surprising that they could be in a 19th century-esque industrial revolution after 3/4ths of a century. Especially when the world is united and not at war. (But yeah, central park is a bit much)

I am concerned about the flying bison in the trailer. I dunno if we ever got an estimated lifespan for those things, but unless that's Appa living for 70+ years, then where the heck did it come from? Appa was the last, he had no one to mate with.

Yeah, I agree that the second lead waterbender being female is kinda more of the same, but don't forget the Northern Watertribe, all their soldiers who fought the fire nation, the master who taught Aang and Kitara somethings, etc. Also the swamp waterbenders might've been hillbillies, but they were largely male-populated iirc. In fact, I think the only prominent female waterbenders were Kitara and the old woman who teachers her how to blood-bend.

Yeah really. Unfortunately though, the Nick execs are calling for season contained arcs. That is, no more 3 season long epics. I know it's not like they're calling for it to be episodic/formulaic monster-of-the-week or anything like that, but it's still disappointing to see TV executives impose on the creators and potentially stunt the scope of the show.

So did everyone else, and then they regretted it. Trust me its that bad. So bad its actually not even funny.

NOOOO!!!! DONT DO IT!!! Like I would not wish anyone to watch the movie... Like watching the bad dub Karate films is 100x better than watching the live action version of this movie!
