Title: Avatar: The Last Air Bender/The Legend of Korra Series Thread
Post by: Nero D. on June 22, 2010, 05:47:21 am
There's a new Avatar series in the works called Avatar: The Legend Of Korra.
Quoted from site: It will follow the adventures of a "passionate, rebellious and fearless" teenager from the Southern Water Tribe, a girl named Korra. Having already mastered three of the four elements (Earth, Water, and Fire), she seeks to master the final element of Air. Her travels eventually lead her to the metropolis of Republic City, an epicenter for the modern Avatar world. Although a thriving society of benders and non-benders alike, Republic City is also ridden with crime, including an anti-bending rebellion that is gaining momentum. Under the guidance of Aang's son, Tenzin, Korra begins her airbending training as she confronts the dangers ahead of her.
The Legend of Korra will be produced at Nickelodeon Animation Studios and is expected to begin airing sometime in 2011.

FYI Nero, don't post wiki's as a source: http://twitter.com/TVTango/statuses/14509554829
Exciting, ain't it? I'm sure they won't push the whole "master all elements" angle this time. Any one element as a focus would be cool enough. ;D

Title: Re: Avatar: Legend Of Korra
Post by: Alhambra on June 22, 2010, 09:24:52 pm
Wiki's are editable by anyone, so they can't be factual. I was just saying that it would be better to provide the original source of the information which was the twitter I posted above. It was my mistake though, I thought you posted it as a source when it was just a reference. My bad.
Title: Re: Avatar: Legend Of Korra

so the avatar wiki page telling about the avatar series as a whole made by people who watch it is fictional
Title: Re: Avatar: Legend Of Korra
Post by: Alhambra on June 22, 2010, 10:10:54 pm
It can get things right, sure, but is is not a reputable source. That is what I meant by factual. Again, I misread your first post thinking the wiki was being used as a source instead of a summary. As a summary they can be fine, but I have seen misinformation in all kinds of wikis for all kinds of series, that's all.

In 70 years I find it hard to believe Tenzin doesn't have some kids + grandchildren. And is it just me or were all Air Nomads benders? In other nations it was more selective but I don't think that was the case with Aang's people.

Discuss anything related to the franchise ongoing or completed in this thread.
So the finale for Book 3: Change aired and I have to say that it was much more pleasing compared to the first couple that preceded it. The awkward romance element felt more like an major impediment to the show for me and i'm glad they decided to tone it down in this season. It was also nice to not have every sort of conflict between characters result in them screaming at each other and storming out of the room. Minor characters having more screen time also helped. Overall, this season seemed tighter and more focused which made it less agonizing and more enjoyable overall.

I seriously hate this move to online streaming at a glorious rate of 10 frames per second with consistent jumping back in scenes. It feels wrong having to wait for a Youtube upload or some other means on the computer for something faster, or wait two weeks for it to show up on the 360.

So ending up with Korra's condition worsening even after the poison's removed, huh? Sounds to me we're getting lead up to her death next book. Surprised they'd take Zaheer back but kill the other Red Lotus members as well.
Disappointed there was no continuation to last book's avatar history. I want to see them at least try to fix the link between past lives. Maybe that's the plot of that Platinum Games mid-book tie-in though.
The scene with Korra freaking out to the poison, seeing visions of the Red Lotus change into Amon, Unalaq and Vaatu was great, well done.
Thing that's bugging most about Korra right now is the lack of a singular force behind each book's villian, they're all their own individual person. Each book in Last Airbender had their focuses, but it was all leading up to the Fire Lord. Who's the big bad here? Apparently not the source of all evil, that was just another villain to deal with.

They already mentioned that both Unalaq and Zaheer were part of the Red Lotus. So yeah the Red Lotus is the main drive behind the two seasons. The first season was self-contained because the show was supposed to be a 12 episode mini-series.
That Zaofu woman they introduced at the last episode was probably a spy or something. She was so completely random and out of place.

They just mentioned his relevance aside, as he had little to do with them or their plans. His severed ties to the Red Lotus don't really make them a focus the second book at all.
So far the main consistency I'm getting so far is terrorists and Korra is kidnapped a lot. And the likelihood the avatar chain's ending so the world moves on no longer needing them, so bad guys win anyways.
Agree on that woman, though.

The consistency is that Aang did not want to be the avatar. Korra does. But everything she endures proves that the world no longer wants her around. S1 attacked bending S2 attacked the spirit side of the avatar's existence S3 tried to kill the avatar and the cycle And it ends with her being in a position where the new air nation is going out in her stead doing what she should be doing.
I hope that she stays in the chair next season and overcomes this to realize her true role as the avatar for this world. Whatever that might be. Hopefully it won't be some weird origin story to current earth lol
In short S3 was one of the most epic seasons of the entire series. Vanilla and Korra alike.

I meant from the bad guys, sure there's more to Korra that doesn't change, that's her character. And I was joking about the kidnap thing. Less so the terrorists, we've gotten three different variations of them so far.
I dunno, this felt a step down in importance than the last book. Still was great and all, but missing the whole "Everything about the past is dead and gone" and end of the world bit.

I'd like to see more Toph flashbacks next book, thank you. That was good to see this book.

S3 was great but I hope they don't throw korra in state of depression in s4. Going by the ending korra's definitely not looking too good and its going to be like the main focus of s4 "lets get korra back to her old self guys" can't stand those.

She's physically ill. It's not really something that can be willfully removed unless they would be stupid enough to spend a good part of S4 finding a miracle cure. They can just do a time skip so S4 starts after Korra heals.

huh... it seems this show can run longer than the last airbender...
Q: is the theme of the environment she's in can be related, or resembled to America in 1911? what I mean by that is The republic city. (http://static.tumblr.com/rohzymc/qzIm24h4x/republic_city_banner.jpg) what captured my thoughts about it the most is the aang statue (http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-CST9PZF0se4/T22Tops_IrI/AAAAAAAAAMI/X3F47HejWws/s1600/Aang+statue.jpg) IMO resembles to the statue of liberty (http://www.nyctourist.com/images/liberty/liberty2005.jpg) and could this be central park? (http://images3.nick.com/nick-assets/shows/images/korra/flipbooks/republic-city/06.jpg)
could all that be a resemblance or a relation to America circa 1911?

So first ep is out.
I like how things are developing; everyone seems to have grown apart. They teased Korra being up and about ,but not 100%. I'm hoping that it doesn't turn out that Vera's supplying the bandit's to give herself leverage with the constituents because that's really transparent at the moment. Oh, and Air Kingdom wingsuits look neat.

One thing I didn't get is why didn't Korra use her Blood bending when she was losing the fight with that bald dude? I think she made some sort of vow not to use it, if I remember right? But if I was getting my butt kicked....Blood bending.

Post by: Just No Point on October 04, 2014, 01:22:27 am
Korra doesn't know how to blood bend and even if she did she'd need a full moon.
Really liked the 1st ep. I wouldn't complain about the transparency behind Kuvira sending in the bandits. They only get 12 eps to finish everything. They need to keep things simple and focus on the story they wish to tell. They don't have enough time for a curve. Look what happened when they tried to do that in S1. Poor Amon!

That was one hell of a finale! The direction of the action scenes was easily one of the best in the series. That mecha battle was so good. All of the loose ends between the characters were handled as satisfactory as I could've imagined it to, no complaints here. Season 4 definitely tops season 3 as my favorite in the entire Korra saga, I can tell that they learned from their missteps in the first two. The entire series wasn't as consistent as LAB ,but I feel like they managed to end it on a high note.

The Last Airbender didn't have a giant robot or lesbians though.
I gonna go ahead and say it though: they should've foreshadowed the bisexuality a bit more, everything up to that point was completely within the realm of platonic friendship.
Title: Re: Avatar: The Last Air Bender/The Legend of Korra Series Thread
Post by: Just No Point on December 19, 2014, 07:59:47 pm
It could be extrapolated quite well when thinking back though.
In S1&2 they were always more comfortable around each other. In season 3 they really bonded a lot. Asami took care of Korra when she was injured and once she left to the water tribe korra only wrote to her.
When she came back Asami was the 1st person she went to see and Korra blushed when Asami complimented her hair.
It's done in a way where you can imagine them becoming super close due to all this or falling in love. And since female friendship is more common in entertainment (barely) it feels it's made to push for a same sex love. Would this be the 1st for a kids's show?

And the whole time their relationship with the same guy was always very awkward. The times korra and Asami were together were not.
Though that's the best you can get looking back that far. S3 they were obviously just friends and there was no plan to do more probably. Or just the slightest maybe at most. But the 3 years of history they gave in S4 was where all the budding relation could have taken place.
And by the end of the series that's still what it looks like. A growing relationship. Nothing that's been taken even to a kiss stage yet.

Books 3 and 4 were in production at the same time so if they had it planned, it had to have been since the beginning of Book 3, which explains why Korra and Asami were suddenly so friendly.

To be fair Asami has always been one of the most mature characters in the show. In Season 1 when she found out Korra and Mako were getting together she didn't blame Korra for it she actually got mad at Mako instead. It's really no wonder that after getting over him they become fast friends.

The show was bad BECAUSE of Nick (and it wasn't horrible, S2 is the only really bad one and it still had some good stuff)
Nick signed the team on for a 1 time 13 ep special. They also did not like the idea of a female lead. So they fit everything they could into it. The romantic triangle wasn't pretty in S1 but for what S1 was I thought it was a great way to see the world 100 years-ish later.
Then after they were almost finished with S1 they were told they'd have 3 more seasons. They didn't have a lot of time at that point to write S2. Which is VERY easy to tell. For S3 and 4 they finally had ample time to make it but then the early released spanish(?) eps came out and Nick panicked or something. I forget the details here. But they pushed S3's release date up with very little advertising. Then took it off tv completely. Only airing it online.
Then on top of that they cut their budget in mid production in S4 giving us that recap episode.
S1 was strong. S2 was quite bad. But S3 and 4 are beautifully crafted despite Nick.
Considering it's a sequel and all the bull crap creative had to deal with it's a surprise we got an ending at all. Let alone a show that turned out so well.

anyway, the series itself was weak, its mosty because of both nick and the producer's fault, and now nick will probably bury the series due to the low ratings, along with the great number of hipster ATLA fanboys telling them that LOK sucked
i think it would be better if Korra went deathball like Aang and died later due to the effort to destroy Kuviratron, and then later the new avatar being born, and part 3 would be The World War II
Nazi benders would be awesome

world war is the first avatar was all about. how about a future show that the avatar is the enemy like a cult or something that controls the whole world and the hero/heroine doesn't have any bending.

Maybe they could be in space and the Avatar could firebend suns into planets that don't worship him/her.

The ending was pretty cool, but it really sucks that this is the end of the series. I'd say that the third book was my favorite of the series.
And holy fuck, people are wiling out because of Korrasami, to the point where it's kinda annoying to be honest.

The ending was more ambiguous than anything with any character relationships with Korra/Mako/Asami. I really didn't see the lesbian connection, but I can certainly see where people might get the idea. Kinda reminds me of the whole Akuroku thing.

That was my first thought honestly. It never really occured to me that the scene could be interpreted that way until the internet exploded about it. Nothing seemed all that overt.

I'm not all that sure I liked The Legend of Korra as a whole. I am, in fact, pretty sure I didn't. But I watched it. Sometimes that's the best we can say about anything.
I hope if they ever do another Avatar anything they go backwards into another ancient life, or they go two Avatars forward or something.

C'mon, there's no way that was just friendly handholding and staring longingly into each other's eyes.

nice ending, not my favorite season but it was okay. i wished they had build up a single villain for the entire series like LAB, don't get me wrong, kuvira was tough, but she didn't fuck with korra's head as much as other villains did.

The ending was nice and cute.
And I do think Korra/Asami is the only pairing that makes sense at this point, lesbians or no.
Mako's relationship with Korra is too confusing (the writers mocked themselves on that point in a recap once), and Bolin already has Opal.

It would be easier if they make Mako gay due to his past relationship with korra, asami or any girl in that crap, but they chose the shipping route, which pissed off pretty much everybody, minus the tumblr femnazis and SJW's who praised like if they found El Dorado

to all the villains i liked amon the best. he was actually a mystery. is it me or bolin surpassed mako both character and skill.

This series would have been a lot better if Amon had been the villain of the first two seasons, I think.

The only person that's pissed off here is you.
Also how the fuck does making Mako gay, just because he failed to keep any relationship with a woman, make sense?

I mean it's pretty obvious what the undertones are, even if it's not completely explicit.

Except that all of those shots are taken out of context. There's probably just as many shots of her and Mako in similar situations.
And for the record, I'm not saying people that come to this conclusion are right or wrong. I'm saying that it doesn't matter.
Well, I never watched the show, so for me those look super gay and I approve of it. They should just have them kiss already.

Just finished last season. Some bunghole spoiled that bit for me.
I think there was an obvious turnaround in the middle of season 3 and from then ont here were a lot of tiny undertones. The ending , at the song "avatar's love" where they both walk into the portal holding hands and stare into each other eyes is pretty straightforward, although i dont think it should have had a kiss or anything like that.
It was a great ending, the final fights were pretty awesome as well.
Btw Bryke supposedly confirmed that the romantic ending is canon and is meant to symbolize the start of them two as a couple.

If there is a source for this, I'd love to see it. A confirmed same sex couple in an American cartoon would indeed be revolutionary.
There's been a lot of linking to articles about the ending, but no confirmation. But if there was going to be a confirmation, it wouldn't have been as ambiguous as it was in the first place, so there you go.

nah it's either they're playing safe or they want this kind of black and white reaction from fans. but anyway it is official they're both gay and my dream became a reality.

There are still many people on the net saying that that still doesn't confirm anything because it wasn't explicitly said/shown in the show itself!
Then when the comics come out and they actually say or show something about it they'll claim the comics are not canon as well! HAH
I honestly had no idea Korrasami was a thing before the finale. But it was still pretty obvious in the last few moments what they were implying yet couldn't show/tell you.

I doubt there will be Korra comics, the show wasn't a financial success.
