TV: The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra

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.

if you want info about the setting and characters we are about to see in that series you should follow this link here.
lots of things explained, and the bad guys look extremely cool

don't watch it if you are scared of (minor) spoilers,

spoilers!?

Oh so Aang just found some new bison. I guess that makes sense. And if there's still bison then that means new people can learn to air bend from them, and air benders can potentially come back in full force.

That streaming link got taken down not an hour after I'd finished watching it. Someone on reddit posted these links though, I'm not sure how long they'll last so get while the getting's good if you want them.

I liked what I saw in the first ep but there wasn't enough to judge the show on its own without the nostalgia factor of getting to glimpse the future of the Avatar world. Korra seems like she's got plenty of rough edges to smooth out just like first season Aang and there seemed to be several undercurrents of conflict brewing that should provide plenty of opportunities for Korra to whip up on people and grow as a character.

Book One: Air

*orgasm*

I am impressed with the animation and Korra is pretty damn cool. It's great to see she uses the elements at will.

[Killa-Eyez]

Yes, very interesting and all but all this talk about ye olden days make me crave for Aang, Sokka, Toph and Iroh action even more!

Both the 1st and 2nd episode are together there in one clip and the quality is pretty good.

I really like the 1920s Shanghai style of the city and its culture. It's a nice direction to take the world of Avatar.

The Pro/Modern bending styles seem much weaker than the ones we're used to, but you can certainly see they're more energy efficient. The two brothers use the least movement possible, and time their strikes, so they don't get exhausted doing something grand and spectacular.

I do wonder if they are capable of doing things like Korra does, or if weaker benders now have some additional options with precision strikes. Why use a claymore when a dagger works just as well?

[Dark Dragon]

It makes sense for modern benders to be weaker, so they can set up for the benders vs non-benders conflict that is brewing in the background.

The creators are taking a completely new approach with this series and i really appreciate that. It would've been really easy for them to create a series that is exactly like the first, but with new characters. There is certainly a lot of room for more mature topics with this new setting.

It makes sense for modern benders to be weaker, so they can set up for the benders vs non-benders conflict that is brewing in the background.

I'm not so sure they are weaker. The three hoodlums Korra took out weren't exactly weak, but the brothers just haven't had a reason to show off yet. They both abide by the rules of Pro Bending, while make sure they don't tire out from the constant attacks the players have to do. Their style is very reminiscent of boxing.

Also, don't forget that 70 or however many years it was ago, there were plenty of non-benders that could thwart benders. Despite being comedy-relief, Sokka was a competent fighter, as were Suki, Jet, June the bounty hunter, Ty Lee, and Mai. The latter two espeically. They defeated the benders of the show just as often as the other way around. Even Zuko was arguably a better fighter than he was a bender.

The conflict seems to be more about benders abusing their powers for their own corrupt personal gain, which helps the evil society gain recruits from the regular citizenry.

[koppayana]

just a thought i had, what if Amon is the son of Sokka and Suki? Oh the possibilities!

[Archangel]

I'm sure that the way they'll set the bender vs non bender conflict is by adding some of those chi blockers to the mix.

I'm also guessing we'll have a love triangle somewhere down the line as well.

Yes, its true....ANOTHER AVATAR SERIES!!!!!

I think this is suppsed to air in april, but the first 2 eps seem to be out.

Here's a summary:

The Last Airbender The Legend of Korra: Taking place 70 years after the events of "Avatar: The Last Airbender," this story follows the adventures of the Avatar after Aang - a passionate, rebellious, and fearless teenage girl from the Southern Water Tribe named Korra. With three of the four elements under her belt (Earth, Water, and Fire), Korra seeks to master the final element, Air. Her quest leads her to the epicenter of the modern "Avatar" world, Republic City - a metropolis that is fueled by steampunk technology. It is a virtual melting pot where benders and non-benders from all nations live and thrive. However, Korra discovers that Republic City is plagued by crime as well as a growing anti-bending revolution that threatens to rip it apart. Under the tutelage of Aang's son, Tenzin, Korra begins her airbending training while dealing with the dangers at large.

Really looking forward to this, as the original Avatar was a classic and a favorite of mine. And the series is reminiscent of the the original so it promises to be just as good.
