there a group of people who hate bending why they hate it we do not know

Yeah I saw this right after I finished re-watching the entire Avatar series, I was like NOWAY? Pretty happy they're moving forward with this. Can't wait for this. I didn't like Avatar at first, but it's actually pretty good, so I'm hoping this won't let me down. ;o;

Spoiler!

some characters




Aang's youngest son and his family

and I just saw the trailer -- ohmigod I love it and I love Korra already

and and

I like how everything looks a lot more modern

[Yuki]

Holy magikarp he's old ;o; I do really like Korra, I'm hoping they give Korra a smexy voice. LOL.

[kmelfina]

70 years is quite a short time for the world of Avatar to be... more modern xD

but the Avatar itself carrying on an age old legend throughout time is epic xD

I hope... there are torrents. D:

/doesn't cable for TV.

wait what is this some other guy or there son ? @.@

[RoflKnife]

Did someone want a necro? Korra did. First episode has been leaked to the internet.

I'M THE AVATAR, YOU GOTTA DEAL WITH IT!

[Ascherit]

^ you should make a thread specifically for the cartoon rather than have it lumped with the shadow of its failed movie

anyways, I saw it and it was awesome. Korra is a such a BAMF.

[Paul]

Streamed it. Couldn't find any HQ videos, though more like didnt bother to try.

Anyways, it was a good I guess. It already feels kinda rushed that Korra already has Fire, Water and Earth done.

[Pshfrk]

Yay , Korra ! I'm glad the expressions are as lively as always ~

Toph's daughter .

[Yume]

Just watched the second episode. I actually like the new characters. Toph's daughter doesn't look much like Toph at all though.

I think they had Korra already learn three of the elements because we've already seen Ang master those. Plus Air is like more 'mellow' so it's difficult for her to learn it with her personality.

[Ascherit]

I love Mako.

He's one hot mofo.

[Esper]

I watched the first episode since a friend posted it in Skype. Completely forgot about it lols.

[Paul]

Watched Ep2. Great episode. Every character shown so far are very likeable.

Out of curiosity, any idea why there weren't any air benders in the matches? Although, it seemed more like there was a lack of them rather than not being allowed.

The only existing air benders are members of Aang's family.

[Paul]

Oh I see, was it mentioned before? I probably forgot or missed it.

Not mentioned, but to my understanding, bending is genetic in the series. Since Aang was the last airbender in his time, that would lead one to assume that only his offspring would be airbenders. That, plus the fact that Tenzin and his family are the only ones living in the airbending temple.

^ Yeah, and this is why Tenzin, Ang's only airbender child, is the only one that can teach Korra airbending. There's literally no one else who can. The only airbenders are Tenzin and his children.

One other thing about this new series is that I miss Appa. I know they revived his species, but he was so cute. I don't much care for the polar dog.
I was thinking they could have also kept Sokka alive as the sarcastic old man. So sad so many of them died already. It's only ~70 years in the future, I was hoping a few of them would still be alive since they'd only be around 85 years old.
