>>82729 This picture would make a good background if blown-up. Also, HOLY SHIT!
Oh awesome. A world as intricate and huge as Avatar's is too good to waste.
I checked that on Yamino's Twitter.Fuck yeah!
>That image>IM A GRABBIN MY GOGGLES.I could be wrong but that looks kind a steampunky.
>>82733What, did you expect them to throw all of the Fire Nation's technology into the sea when the war ended?
Our beloved characters... they're all dead
>>82734Yes! For the good of the world!No but seriously I hope they do embrace the steam punk angle a little even if its bender powerd.
>>82735Meh they're all doing it in the spirit world and you know it.
What the hell happened to my post?Anyway, looks pretty Water Tribe. So maybe she's the next Avatar after Aang. Which means maybe some of the original cast is still alive, but very old. Which in the Avatar universe seems to slow you down slightly less than an ingrown butt hair.
>>82738I'm expecting super-old Toph and/or Sokka.
Also, it occurs to me that the fact this is announced so close on the heels of the Shamalamaloo Disaster that maybe Nickelodeon is rushing it out so people don't sour on the franchise as a whole.Polite sage for crapflood and downer post.
>>82738>>82739Hell I'm expecting Bumi to show up. I think he forgot how to die.
>>82740According to Rufftoon, the official announcement was supposed to come out even sooner.
>>82742Any word on why it was delayed?
I genuinely can't tell where that pic is set in, but I like it.And I wonder who the primary antagonist(s) will be.
>>82744Juding by 4chans reaction, the fans will be the primary antagonist. Good god.
>>82744Looks like industrialised Earth Kingdom (no duh)To hazard a more specific guess I'm going to say Omashu (specifically new development around Omashu) judging by the mountains in the background.
>>82746Mmmm. /co/ seems extra-trollicious tonight. I'm not sure we should take it's opinion at face value.
>/co/ ranting about Korra being "hotheaded" and "independent" and not staying in the kitchenAnyway, I'm going crazy over this news. :3 And I love the look of that more modern city in the image -- maybe we'll get a neat Hong Kong style setting there.
Oh hey, slightly higher resolution!http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/07/21/avatar-the-last-airbender-nickelodeon-greenlights-tv-sequel-the-legend-of-korra/>Nickelodeon said in a release that “The Legend of Korra takes place 70 years after the events of ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ and follows the adventures of the Avatar after Aang – a passionate, rebellious, and fearless teenaged girl from the Southern Water Tribe named Korra.”>Korra’s quest eventually leads her to Republic City–the epicenter of the world of “Avatar.” A metropolis powered by steampunk-type technology, the city is inhabited by people from all nations. Korra finds that Republic City suffers from rampant crime and is also dealing with an anti-bender revolt. Korra is tutored by Aang’s son, Tenzin, is the ways of airbending.
>>82729>>Nickelodeon executive Brown Johnson>>Brown JohnsonHa
Steampunk in my Avatar?!I'm ok with this.
>>82735If it's 70 years after the first series ends, and the first series ends when Aang is 13, Zuko 16, etc etc, and then avatars aren't told that they're avatars until 16, then 70 - 16 = Aang lives for 54 years after being 13 which means he dies at 67..ish? But all the rest of our favorite characters could still be alive!
>>82751>Korra’s quest eventually leads her to Republic City–the epicenter of the world of “Avatar.” A metropolis powered by steampunk-type technology, the city is inhabited by people from all nations. Korra finds that Republic City suffers from rampant crime and is also dealing with an anti-bender revolt. Korra is tutored by Aang’s son, Tenzin, is the ways of airbending.Is it me, or does this sound like the set-up for a crime-fighting superhero series? Hopefully this is just early press release weirdness, or a 'first-6-hours-in-Midgar' setup, because I want me some world-spanning adventure epics.In other news, holy fuck, that cityscape looks awesome. Is...is that the Taipei 101 in the distance?
>>82751Reading this I just had a brainwave; and if it's true I will pass out from joy for predicting this so early:The anti-bender revolt will be led by a depowered Azula's (grand)son/daughter.
>>82754>Aang’s son, TenzinNOOOO GANG JR IS RUINED. RUUUIIIINED!... Im just messing.
>>82756... and he/she assassinated Aang, that's why he died so early.
>Nickelodeon executive Brown Johnson says the new series will focus on a teenage girl avatar named Korra. Brown describes her as hotheaded, independent and "ready to take on the world." Nightscream. I called it, Beast Machines v2.
Although Aang dies early compared to other avatars, we still most likely get him in spirit form to help out Kora, so it's not like he won't be there.
>>82759Go back to /co/
>TenzinAnd the Dalai Lama reference comes full circle.Wonder if they can work into some nods to some more obscure figures of Vajrayana Buddhism in there? Jampa maybe?
I approve of this news and everything it stands for.
>steampunky universe>water tribe Avatar>strong female lead character of color>very strong possibility of original Gaang showing up as awesome old people>spirit guide Avatar Aang and AppaI fucking love you, Mike and Bryan. This sounds fucking awesome
Part of me was hoping that 'Korra' wouldn't necessarily be about the next Avatar, since seeing a story like that might end up being a rehash of Aang's story. But ultimately I'm okay with this. Mike and Brian are in charge and I trust them to make the story interesting.
>>82751This as really got me interested. A series about the conflict between the traditions and ancient beliefs of the benders and the brutal advance of a new technology focused society? Now thats something that interests me.Also, /co/ is full of shit over hating Korra based on a vague piece of marketing fluff quote.
From /co/"In a sense, the Fire Nation 'won' after all, if the world is now powered by steampunk technology. Where do you think that all came from? The Fire Nation is probably the world's chief driver of economic growth, and they've traded their military empire for an industrial one."
>>82767I like the sound of that
>>82767Reminds me of another two post-war defeated powers.
I just had a weird idea. Remembering Hotel Rwanda (which for some reason i've seen like 10 times), i imagined the scene near the beginning of the movie of the interahamwe rally, but with the anti-benders.
>anti-bending revolt.I'm interested. I'm very interested.
>>82764>very strong possibility of original Gaang showing up as awesome old peopleYou know what that means.Badass Grandma Toph. FUCK YEAH.
>>82754Yes, they'd be in their early 80's, but it could definitely happen.
>>82770I'm sort of imaging their being an anti-bender paramilitary/terrorist group, sort of like the interahamwe or the SA/SS, and a similar bender group. The conflict between them would be the focus of the series.
>Aang dead by his 60sI'm fucking mad
>>82773Then I demand Azula either be the firebending teacher who has reformed and wants to make amends for her past and wants to help stop the anti benders, or Azula be a villain siding with the anti benders since Aang took her bending away years ago, and now she wants revenge on the avatar, even if it's only his reincarnation. Make it so number Bryke.
>>82776See >>82756 that's my prediction (though as you say it could be Azula herself)
>>82775>>Aang dead by his 60s>I'm fucking madThese releases talk about an anti-bender revolt.Maybe Aang's death was a symbolic assassination by the anti-bender people?The Spirit World wouldn't like that very much...
I can't wait for the first Katara/Korra fic, with Korra going into the Avatar State to turn into elderly Aang.
Ahahahaha it's started already>I really hope people do not ship Korra with Aang's kid. That would be hella creepy>in the middle of sex she will go avatar state and aang will take control.>"I am proud of you my son. You wield my legacy like a true master.">"D-d-dad? Stop it. GET OUT">"Use the Air Cock Tenzin. Use the Cock....">what if Aang was like "I think I'll check in on how my reincarnation is-- WHOA OH HI SON"Oh /co/ :3
>>82781... Yep. Some ones going to ship it.
>>82774Ok, so i've got it worked out. On one hand you have the benders, the leaders and upper class of Republic City. On the other you have the non benders, the down trodden masses of the cities slums. On the side of the benders there is a shawdowy security service, made up of the remenants of the Dai Li and controlled by the members of the Order of the Blue Lotus, ready to use any means to protect the rule of the benders. On the other you have a violent terrorist slash paramilitary group hiding in the slums, gathering disillusioned non benders to its cause, using rioting and terrorist acts against the hated benders.
>>82783 A Marxist tract if there ever was one. Someone on /co/ even remarked that Faux Noise would mark the new series as librul propaganda.
>>82790Yeah but he was implying that they would draw parallels between the anti-benders and the Tea Parties, not that the anti-benders would be a Marxist vanguard against the bending elite.
>>82751>after Aang>steampunk>anti-bender rebellion>metropolisHoly shit, Sharkman; did we call it or did we call it?
that was quick
>>82792My friends had even made the joke "Eh, [Sharkman], it ends up being your comic exactly." before any of the specifics were announced, and all I knew was that it was in the future.I'd never figured in a Non-Bender revolt, though. I'm probably gonna totally steal designs from it when this comes out, and I'm, in all likelihood, still in the early portions of Singularity's story.Still, though, three things:One, Gaang Jr. is officially an AU. But oh well, we knew this day was coming.Two, Aang has died somehow between the ages of 63-69 years old. I'm looking forward to the series, but I still think that's kinda...shitty.Three, Tenzin (kickass continuing reference to the Dalai Lama, by the by) might well be in his 50s, give or take a decade. He might have kids, even grandkids by then (another kickass old person?) If these great-grandchildren of Katara and Aang number three or more, and Aunt Wu was right, Katara's friggin' dead (albeit quietly she apparently is supposed to go quietly, in her sleep.)
>>82790In fairness, the anti benders are meant to be as bad as the benders, exploiting peoples fears and frustration to gain support and power.
Wait a minute.. oh god this means more alt-history/alt reality fan fics as well.Im doomed.
>My face
A small part of me wants Korra to be either descended from or related to Bato.
Heres a significant issue no one else has mentioned yet.Will there be guns?Considering we have skyscrapers now, and almost certainly technology is at victorian level or higher, it seems illogical not to. But this is a kids show, and i suspect they might bullshit their way around it.
Something else:http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nickelodeon-greenlights-new-series-from-the-creators-of-the-animated-television-hit-avatar-the-last-airbender-98925659.html>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.Korra starts already capable of three of the four bending styles.
I imagine the "Anti benders" must use a similar Chi blocking technique similar to the one Ty Lee used.
Gee, what took you so long TV Tropes?http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ptitlemefn3wm6

>>82794Here's a better one.
I'm so glad that Kataang son has a cool name like Tenzin.instead of the lame names Gaang jr kids got.
>>82810>>82794Well shit. Now i want to draw her.
>>82810Nah, she looks too much like Katara.
I shared the news with my husband.His response: "Now I'm hard."
An interview with Mike and Bryan:http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/07/21/legend-of-korra-the-creators-of-avatar-the-last-airbender-on-the-new-spinoff/A few highlights (haha I guess I copied most of the article whoops)>If there’s a new Avatar, that means Aang has passed on. If he died around age 70, isn’t that pretty young for an Avatar?>Konietzko: You gotta keep in mind that he was frozen in a state of suspended animation for 100 years, so he kind of burned up some of his extra Avatar time.>The new “Avatar” is a woman. What inspired you to change the sex of the protagonist of the series?>Michael DiMartino: It’s not so much about changing because we had Avatar Kyoshi before Aang. We’d established that the Avatar can be male or female and we just thought let’s explore one of those more in depth, because Kyoshi was a popular character with a lot of fans and it seemed like a great opportunity to not retread what we’d done with Aang, who was a great hero, we all loved him, but we really wanted to try something different. And we have so many great female fans out there, who really responded to Katara in the first series, we thought we have the fan base who are really going to enjoy seeing the Avatar be a female.>Konietzko: Mike and I, we love those characters too, and we’ve encountered countless fans who are male who really like those characters too. We just don’t subscribe to the conventional wisdom that you can’t have an action series led by a female character. It’s kinda nonsense to us.>The one image that you released is Korra looking out on Republic City, where a lot of the new show take place. Tell me about that city.>Konietzko: That’s kind of a piece of concept art so when the show premieres next year it won’t look exactly like that but that’s the direction we’re headed. The first series was sort of a road show where every episode they were going to some new location. That was another new thing we wanted to do is root it in one big complex location but mainly one place. We were drawing inspiration from Shanghai in the 1920s and 30s and Hong Kong and even Western cities like Manhattan and even location-wise cities like Vancouver, a city that juts out on a peninsula or an island and has these big mountains around it.>Will we see characters from the previous series pop up?>DiMartino: I don’t want to give anything away, but rest assured there’s a definite link between the old series and this one.>Republic City is a city plagued by crime. There’s an anti-bender revolt. Does this new series deal with more mature themes?>Konietzko: Mike and I like a balance of tones. We never set out to make an overtly silly show or an overly serious dramatic show. We like dealing with all those things. It’s fair to say we’re dealing with some sophisticated things and the show is growing up a bit. But that said, we’re not in a calculated way trying to target another demographic. Even in the first series, it was about a world war and some pretty serious issues.>If Tenzin is Aang’s son, who is his mother?>DiMartino: [To Konietzko] We can say that, right? [To Speakeasy] It’s Katara. It’s not a huge surprise.
>>82816>Will we see characters from the previous series pop up?>DiMartino: I don’t want to give anything away, but rest assured there’s a definite link between the old series and this one. A guy can dream...
>If Tenzin is Aang’s son, who is his mother?>DiMartino: [To Konietzko] We can say that, right? [To Speakeasy] It’s Katara. It’s not a huge surprise.Problem, Zootarians?
>>82819I can taste the fangirl tears already.
>>82803>consider the idea that Aang was killed by a gun
>>82821The YuYuan Archers totally kicked his ass, Aang getting sniped suddenly isn't too unexpected.
Neither of them are Serial Kiffer, I don't thin they'll murder their own character when they're this attached to him. They make it sound like being in the iceburg burned up Aang' live-extra-long-lifeforce and he died after a normal amount of time for an ordinary human. (Still kinda sucks that he's dead relatively early.)
>If Tenzin is Aang’s son, who is his mother? >DiMartino: [To Konietzko] We can say that, right? [To Speakeasy] It’s Katara. It’s not a huge surprise. Was there ever really a question?
>>82824Only if you're a batshit insane shipper.
>steampunky universe >anti-bending revolt
>>82755It would make perfect sense to use Taipei 101, considering it’s the only 100+ floor, Chinese (pre-civil war) designed skyscraper on the planet.
>>82826 Lian started her own anti-bending revolt before it was cool
GENTLEMEN.As fantastic as this looks, as absolutely excited as I am that we'll be revisiting the fantastic world of Avatar as it has evolved after two generations, there is one thing above all else that has caught my attention, that I feel it vastly necessary to ensure that it comes to yours.Dem hips.Korra's got 'em.

Hahaha, oh Zutarians.
>>82827Well, after my initial trepidation, I have to conclude that this move to a '30s-Shanghai-esque steampunk city is probably a good move for a fresh change of format. Doing another road adventure would be retreading old ground, and it looks like a fascinating environment to explore.I must admit, though, 'Republic City' sounds like a descriptive placeholder name. I'm hoping it gets replaced with something classier and more Avatar-sounding, perhaps an updated style to fit with the whole Singaporean theme. I wonder where it is in the Avatar world? 'twill be exciting to discover!
>>82833Built around the temple where Teo's people originally set up refuge.
>>82833Well obviously the name is 共和國市 (Gongheguoshi, "Republic City"). :PAh, I can't help but enjoy seeing dietotaku once again being a complete butt about shipping in capslock_atla. I had been agreeing with and liking her stuff on the moviefail too much -- now it's like the good ol' days! :D

>>82729I'm loving this shite!>>82771Wow! Somebody actually saved that. I'm glad.>>82837...You've done better. Not to be an arse, or anything.
I think the folks complaining about her design (which I didn't come up with, I might remind you ;) ) are the type who want only cutesy girls in their cartoons.I can't express how pleased I am with the design they gave her, I LOVE that she's tall and muscular. She's going to be single-handedly fighting crime in Gotha- er, that big city. I imagine this is going to be like some insane Batman/Avatar crossover.And it's going to be AMAZING. <3
Link them the interview with Mike and Bryan. Crush the dream. Show them their folly. Incense their anger further.
>>82855They have the link already. They read it. They said that Mike and Bryan didn't say that Katara was the mother, even though they did. Zutarians experience a different reality than the rest of us.
>>82865Seconded. I would like to nominate this thread as the new sticky. Honestly, what do Avatars care about more, that shitty movie, or a new series by Mike and Brian?
This show is looking pretty awesome from where I'm sitting. I wonder if Tenzen will call Korra dad to freak her out?
>>82868>Capoeira!Feck yeah. I used to practice that. Shite was cash as fuck.
>>82853Fuck yes. Not only was Kyoshi herself awesome, but she was also tall, strong, and had large feet. And now Korra will be strong and tall and kicking ass.
Republic City sounds like somewhat Star Wars would use.
Wen I read Brown Jhonson's quote saying that Korra was strong and independant, I jumbled it from saying roughly "Brown said, 'She is strong'" to "She is brown."And she is. A new generation of delicious brown, wrapped in a package of badass.
Is Republic City the reformed version of Ba Sing Se or the Fire Nation capitol?
>>82853Is there more concept art of her showing her design? Pooost.Hey, I'm confused about something. They said it normally takes years to master all four elements - Roku took at least ten, it looks like - so do you think Korra will be like.... nineteen-ish? Might be a bit old for a Nick series, but without the war she has all the time in the world to learn the elements, right?
Am I the only one seeing Korra as a tomboy with her hair pulled back like most of the guys in the tribes do?
>Main character a girlAwesome>All the unfun character traits of Katara Toph and Aang meshed togetherNot awesome, but work-aroundable.Will probably be fucking awesome regardless. >The Avatar is the star againDo not want.>Possibility of Spirit guide AangI am ... uncertain.>The Gaang is probably dead and decrepitD:> they still could come back as badass old people:D>Aang got laid.Nice~>Gaang Jr wiped completely from existenceDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD:>Every other fanfic also wiped completely from existence.Only a small consolation.>Bryke continuing to be magnificent trolls.Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy~>plot sounds like some cross between Wolfbatman and X-Men with even more captain planet bullshit thrown in¯\(º_o)/¯>the animation and production work will probably be so fucking good that I won't give a shit. Like the original series.>:3
>>82891To be fair about Gaang Jr., it was made as fanfic. You can't be butthurt that they ignored fanfic of next generation.Also, the original WAS some cross between Wolfbatman and X-Men with even more captain planet bullshit thrown in .But I do agree with another avatar. It's a very "ugh, seriously?" feeling for me.
Ah, early fanart... :) It'll be fun to look back at these in the future.
I'd personally like Tenzin to be older. Maybe in his 30's or 40's. Sort of a father figure to the new group. Part of that is because it would be to get away from the "group of kids on an adventure" thing. Not that that's a bad thing, but I feel that if the "group" in the new show was a bunch of teens again, it might suffer from feeling a little too same-y. Making a larger gap in the ages would shake that up. It would also be a little weird if Tenzin was around Korra's age, cause that would mean that Katara and Aang had a kid in their mid 60's.Hell, Tenzin could even be as old as his early 60's if Aang and Katara had him in their early 20's.
>>82893Hey, I wasn't expecting them to ever acknowledge the existence of it, do I look crazy to you?But I'm definitely happy, at least this means the franchise will live on. And even if it dies after this then it will have gone on long enough to be considered for a live action movie 20 years down the li-Oh... right.(Also, first Deaf now you? Is it "crawl out of the woodwork" week or something?)
I absolutely cannot wait for this!! My reactions so far:>Aang dead fairly young (for an Avatar)Yeah, it's a huge downer. The moment I heard Legend of Korra would be in the future and about a new Avatar, I knew this would happen and it makes me very sad. But we know Aang lived a full, rich life, and probably got into many more wild adventures before his passing. I hope this new series mentions some of his exploits. And you know some of the original Gaang still has to be alive! I can't wait to see them.>anti-bender revoltDon't know if want... I never liked the idea of benders versus non-benders, but we'll see where this goes.>metropolis>steampunk-type technologyNothing wrong with this, but I hope they aren't too technologically advanced. I liked the ancient times feel of the Avatarverse. The reason I dislike 99% of modern Avatar AUs is that they're just so bland and uninspired in comparison to the show. The characters all suffer from high school drama and wangst, going to proms, stressing over homework, all that boring normal teenager crap. Give me an adventure traveling the world, seeing amazing hybrid animals, visiting lost civilizations, that sort of thing. I have faith in Mike and Bryan though, so I'm sure it will be nothing like that.>Katara and Aang’s son, Tenzin>Zutards already B'AWWW-ing and being butthurtL-O-fucking-L. Cry some moar, babbies!

Aang and Katara hooked up when they were kids. He lived to be about 70. Do the math, Tenzin could be as old as 58.
High resolution promo pic
who the hell keeps saying he dies young. If it's 70 years in the future like the speculation, then he died ATLEAST 70. That's not young!
>>82901YES
>>82901Sweet. Thanks.Where'd you get this?
>>82902Not young for us, but in the Avatarverse people can live past 100
>>82902The kid lived for around 100 years when we first met him....We kind of expected him to go the distance.Besides, didn't many avatars die.. much older?
...but what about Momo
I personally hope Tenzin's kind of a kooky old man, who's also a master Airbender, because if Korra's serious and down to earth, then she can act as a foil against that. The Avatar and her wierd-assed Airbending teacher.
>>82902By my calculations, he died about 66. Aang was 12 at the end of the series. 12+70=82Korra, if things with her went as normal (as far as finding out she was the Avatar) is probably 16.82-16=66Of course, Korra's age is pure speculation, so I can't be sure. Either way, Aang had a pretty good run. Not as good as some other Avatars such as Kyoshi, but still not what I would call 'dying young'.
>>82906Kyoshi did, we don't have a measure of how old Kuruk and Yangchen were, and Roku got volcanoed when he was about 80. The Firebender in that one sequence explaining the Avatar State was also rather old looking.
>>82909Only Air Nomads tell their young about it at 16.
>>82901DEM HIPS in high rez!it's only a shot from behind, but I am REALLY digging the character design
>>82912That's also when they told Roku unless I'm badly mistaken. He looked to be an older teen when the Fire Sages showed up at his birthday party.
Will we learn more about Avatar Kuruk too?Have Aang be in the Roku spot and Kuruk in the Kyoshi spot?
>>82915Do want. Bonus points if we can have a spirit journey/flashback episode ala "The Avatar and the Firelord" with Aang.
>>82875Capoeira style Airbending would kick various amounts of ass.
Y'know, someone just made me realize something beautiful: because this series has a female lead, there's like no way they could end up with lame non-action action figures for the girls in Legend of Korra.
>>82904Got it off the Avatar (the one from James Cameron) movie site. I don't know how it wound up there. This pic was originally for journalists only (to download), so I've waited all day for somebody to leak it.
>>82922Well, you're awesome. I was poking around sadly at the press websites wishing I had a login to get the high-res, literally a minute before you posted this.
>>82921>>82921Goddammit, stop impersonating me.
>>82923...As much as I dislike it having that stigma, yes. That one.
>We were drawing inspiration from Shanghai in the 1920s and 30s and Hong Kong and even Western cities like Manhattan and even location-wise cities like Vancouver, a city that juts out on a peninsula or an island and has these big mountains around it.I'm really liking the sound of this, especially the part about the city being inspired by Shanghai and Hong Kong in the 30's.
>>82901Instant new desktop wallpaper. Thank you, Anonymous!>>82908>>82915DO WANT!I heard someone say it would be cool if Tenzin and Korra had sort of an Iroh/Zuko relationship (with a little less angst, hopefully). I'm inclined to agree.
>If Tenzin is Aang’s son, who is his mother?>DiMartino: [To Konietzko] We can say that, right? [To Speakeasy] It’s Katara. It’s not a huge surprise.Delicious Zutarian tears
>>82901Is it just me, or does Korra look... toned, in that pic? Certainly looking a lot less waif-ish and a lot more capable of holding her own in a fight that didn't involve bending.And that, IMNSHO, is a damned good thing. Here's to hoping she cracks her knuckles or shows off washboard abs, eh?
>>82934She is looking pretty muscular. I can't wait to see 34 of her.
>>82935I'm not very good at nude, but oh well~
>>82935Yeah, that's what I'm talking about; slim, yet still 'muscular' (is there a better word for it?). Now if only she were taller, it'd hit all my buttons.
>>82934I dig the fact that she's all toned and tomboyish. Kickass females make me very happy.>>82936>I'd do this kick a lot and whenever she does it she goes "Korra!"Clearly she's crying out Korra's name because she's just that good at sex. ;3>>82937I think you just won the world record for Rule 34 on a character when we haven't even seen all of what she looks like yet. Kudos!
>>82939Actually, that was why I did it. I specifically wanted to beat anyone else to it, hahaha
>Yeah, that's what I'm talking about; slim, yet still 'muscular' (is there a better word for it?). Now if only she were taller, it'd hit all my buttons.Toned, maybe? Do you mean like a fitness model kind of built?
>>82940Good job!>>82941I fucking love Booter-Freak.Guys, this thread makes me so happy. I'm having a fangasm already. I haven't been this excited since waiting for the finale episodes to come out. SOMEBODY STICKY THIS THREAD ALREADY!
>>82942Ex-sodding-actly. I guess there really isn't any other word for it than 'toned'.That said, while I would be the first to hop onboard any toned musclegirl discussion, this ain't the board for that. Let's gat back to Korra, shall we?(P/S: Will we have to rename this board /k/ or something when it comes out?)
>>82944It's still /a/ because of the name "Avatar" not "/atla/" or god forbid "/tla/" This series will still be Avatar: The Legend of Korra, we're good for now.

>>82821Aang was caught in the crossfire of a shootout between the Five Seven Five gang of Ba Sing Se and the Ember Island Playas. Wang Fire is believed to be the instigator of the feud, and is still at large.
>>82946Stay classy, Zutards!
this is a 5 on the foamy mouth guy scalefuck year>>82803im betting that at one point we will see hand cannons or at least flintlocksits a pretty logical way to even the field between benders and non benders which bring us to >>82821 which makes a very good gut punch for the storylinepersonally im hoping that she borrows a bit from balsa's personality and of couse she will be attractive its in the water tribe genes
Oh wow, that 400+ comment post of mine got comment-locked for massive fanwank... and I got a comic about it!I'm so proud.
>>82964
>>82964>>82966And the shipwank lives on. Oh fandumb.
>>82941Aang with a proper mustache! FIIIIIINALLY.I'm buying Booter Freak a drink, first chance I get.
>>82901Okay, because I'm a colossal nerd, I looked hard at the high-res picture and saw something on Korra's face. I've highlighted it here, a coloured patch between her hairbang and her ear.It could be a trick of the scan, but it's just something extra to speculate about. Does she have...decorative facial features?
>SRSLY BRYKE, PLEASE TO BE REMOVING YOUR HEADS FROM YOUR SPHINCTERS AND REALIZE THAT YOU NEEDS TO WIPEY THE SLATE CLEAN AND NO MENTIONING ATLA!!!YOU GUYS.... LOL!!!P.S I have been away for far too long holy crap.
:O
>>82941You know, I'm sensing a lot of comic potential in Korra's and Tenzin's relationship. Aang probably went easy on bringing up Tenzin and assumed he'd pick up bending as easily as he did. Instead, [fan speculation] he turned into an aging feckless layabout whose carefree "air" spirit is the only reason he can even do bending [/fan speculation]. You'd have uptight Korra trying to coax Tenzin into teaching her anything he can remember, complicated by technically being his dad.SCENE EXAMPLE GO:*Korra rummages through flat and picks apart discarded pots of half-eaten ramen*Korra: Crying out loud, Tenzin, couldn't you clean this place up? My feet are sticking to the rug!*Tenzin's resting on a beany bag*Tenzin: Hey don't touch the rug! It really ties the room together.*Korra, put upon, marches over Tenzin's head and fixes on him a frown*Korra: SON.*Tenzin looks up, gormless*Korra: CLEAN. YOUR. ROOM.Tenzin: ...dad didn't sound like that.Korra: He does now. So get snappy!
>>82996Also this really cracked me up! :DGod... that nicely toned ass.
>>83006Air cock goes mimetic. I'm calling it now.
>>82996Ah, Korra... You're mighty fine.>>83006FUCK YES!!
Any word on her VA?
Girl Kuruk is a retroactive-lesbian Avatar in the Republic-City of Steampunk.Sweet. And dem hips, man, dem hips.
>>82811 >Implying "Tenzin" is an original name that is any less lame that what GJr came up with
What everyone else has said! Because I have nothing new to add, but definitely feel the need to speak of my approval!
Korra:Toned.Fitness.Dem hips.Dem shoulders!!Older teens -not loli.Not related to TLA movie.Makes me so happy!!I'll 34 it sooner or later.
Oh the zutara tears, they are delicious.Also, if its 1930's Shangai then Indie should be there for some reason. Just because.
So, has anyone brought up the fact that the current Dalai Lama is named...Tenzin Gyatso!http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_Dalai_Lama
>>83019Oh wow, this pic looks... nicer than my conscious brain says it is. Hope they go with something like this for Korra's look.Along those lines, is there any website or some such where I can keep up to date on this project? Apart from plus4chan, I mean.
>>82964>400 plus comments>dietotaku
Should we start trolling now?For extra insult to injury, I say we make our official crackship Zorra.Because old, sexyhotlikeIroh Zuko should be fucking his waterbender at least. Only now he's kinda creepo for doing it with a teenager.
>>83016Tenzin Gyatso - The Dalai Lama.Gyatso - Aang's teacher.Tenzin - Aang's son.The circle, it is complete!
The Emper Island Players will have an episode where they are adapting the play about Aang into a lack and white movie.
>>83025I always pictured a similar build (per haps a tad bit more tonned and shorter) for Toph.>>83031YESS
Aang would be the best Spirit Guide ever!
Thou Mad.
I've been thinking about Azula. I don't like her being a reformed teacher or being the new main antagonist. What I do like is that she's the reason Aang is dead. Like her and Aang just had a massive fucking battle that ended with super firey exploding death for the both of them, and caused massive damage to the surrounding area and people. Two incredibly powerful benders, blowing up each other and everyone around them because of a decades old personal grudge? Yeah, that'd fuel some anti bender sentiment.
>reading the shipwank>pic related>>82996I love you, Liesl, but you must make a correction: the "At least once" note needs to be "At least once a day", you must have forgotten that part. And hey, queerios is a cool word, don't be wasting it as an insult to the Zutards!>>83030Ew and no. That's too creepy even for trolling purposes. And I had to resist the urge to make a Zorra/Zora joke.>>83034>see a glider necklace from the movie in her gallery>check journal, read painfully giddy entry about how AWSUM she thinks the movie is>oh god why D:
>>82991So no one else think Korra might have under-eye warpaint/tattoos?Bonus points if fish lips as well ¬3¬
I want Liz Sroka to voice Korra.NOW.
>>83006You know, Aang was 70 when he died, and that was about sixteen years ago...meaning, Tenzin is probably middle-aged at least.Just saying.
>>83043I should like to point out that Sozin had Azulon during the year of the comet (my personal theory is that genocide is an aphrodisiac for him that's why he started the war), which means he had him when he was 82. Meanwhile Ozai was born when Azulon was 43. So it's not like there isn't precedence.
>>83044Yeah, but these were off-screen babies. I seriously doubt that Korra's going to hook up with Tenzin, considering that this is a kid's show. They'll want to make the main romance (if there is one) be with someone the younger 12-18 year old audience can relate to.
>>83044Well, either way, we know he had to be old enough to learn something about airbending from dear old dad. Add 15-16 years onto that...
>>83044Except Tenzin is Katara's kid too. Aang might not have a biological clock, but Katara does. If she's still alive in Korra's time, she'd be 84 years old. Tenzin would have to be 39, at minimum, for Katara to be his mother. More likely he'd be in his 50s, if not 60s.
>>83045My point was that Tenzin is perfectly capable of being young enough to be relatable.>>83047And your proof that Avatar biological clocks work like ours do? Heck I have some good proof that it doesn't. Look as both Roku met Ta Min around 16, and she was already well through puberty so they can't be that different in age. Even assuming she was some sort of super early bloodmer and was tweleve at the time that would mean Ta Min had her child at around 66.
...I just don't buy it. Given that Mike and Brian just gave us a badass, headstrong ACTION HERO girl, I seriously doubt they'd flush that all down the toilet in order to make her romance with her teacher a focal point of the story.There's no evidence that romance will be any major part of the story yet. And that would make me quite happy, because not every character has to be paired off to be interesting (or to be happy!) She's totally awesome just how she is.
I'm not the first? Damn! :DBut yeah, she looks well... toned. Wow.
So something occurred to me. We know that-LoK will have -some- of the gaang, most likely in an older, exponentially awesome roles- Korra is southern water tribe- Sokka is most likely the Chief of the southern water tribeI'll let you guys fill in the blanks.
>>83037 Azula is nothing compared to her father, and he needed a powerup to fight Aang.
Oh god, Zutara people still actually thought there was a chance thier ship would become canon? They are surprised Aang an Katara had kids? Hell how deluded can you get.
>>83052...Side quest where Korra helps Sokka find his dentures? lol
I like how Mike and Bryan used the word mature instead of darker.
>>83056 >>83052 hereI was thinking more along the lines of Sokka being more like Bumi. Also note the speculation of face makeup and the possibility of Suki mixing in with the SWT culture.
>>83058Now this just made me imagine a scene where Sokka takes Suki back to the Southern Water Tribe and shows her their warrior makeup traditions, and this time SHE crossdresses as a SWT warrior. XD
Just going to post something I've been mulling over too much.If we apply the 40 year fertility rule for women and follow the assumption that Katara would be 84-85 (70+14-15 ) years old at the start of the sequel, Tenzin would be at least 44-45 years old when he starts training Korra. Also, when Aang died, Tenzin was in his late twenties.So, if Tenzin is 45 years old, Aang and Katara had him when they were 38 and 40 years old respectively. T at 65 = A at 18 and K at 20.T at 55 = A at 28 and K at 30.T at 45 = A at 38 and K at 40.T at 35 = A at 48 and K at 50.T at 25 = A at 58 and K at 60.Imo, Tenzin at 50-55 years seems the most likely, followed by 40-45 and 60-65, but mainly if we follow the 40 year female fertility rule in the real world.If we go with the theory that women in the Avatarverse have better female fertility rates, then Tenzin could be younger than 45 years old.
>>83059Reverse trap SWT warrior? Do it.
I really want to see glimpses of the Southern Water Tribe brought back to the type of large scale culture that the Northern Water Tribe had.
I also really like the idea of Tenzin being a laid back guy who took it easy all his life similar to what Aang would have done were it not for the war...and similar to Kuruk, probably.So Tenzin = The Dude, kickin back, drinking white russians cactus juice and enjoying lifeKorra: "Your teaching sucks!"Tenzin: "Well, that's just like, your opinion, man."Polite sage for double posting.
I guess I kind of dig the toned look. It looks like Korra has a build that is probably halfway between Yangchen and Kyoshi. Making her balanced for a female Avatar. My hope is that she familiarizes herself with Kuruk and resolves to be an active, involved Avatar rather than the last Watertribe avatar who was passive and arrogant.Also, I have a guess as to <<<<<<<<<<<<Who Bryke based the new Korra physique on. The pose of a woman standing on a precipice above a thriving metropolis was kind of a good hint.
>>83056No, I think (s)he means that Korra could be Sokka and Suki's (grand)daughter.
>>83051first 34 if nothing else! thank you!
>>83068Actually, the first one is here. >>82937
>>83066I personally doubt that- I was thinking more just that Sokka is most likely gonna be in it.
>>83064I was thinking the same thing. Dude!Tenzin would make a good catalyst for Korra sticking around in Republic City if she has to spend an extended amount of time coaxing legitimate airbending lessons out of Tenzin's vague, unbothered mind.She's clearly a strong-willed young woman to blaze through learning all the elements at such a young age (maybe there's a reason for this? Could be worth exploring), so there has to be a reason why she doesn't just blast through learning air and carry on handling the rest of the world's problems. Tenzin being laid back and endearingly incompetent feels like an effective excuse, since then she would feel she might as well stick around the city for a while if it's going to take this long mastering air.I'm imagining Korra disembarking at the main train station with a rucksack over her shoulder and Tenzin's address in her hand, travelling around this strange new city searching for this guy's apartment. She heads down an alleyway, gets cornered by some thugs with an axe to grind, and reveals her Avatar powers to fend off the attack. The thieves get scared and scarper with their ill-gotten gains. Including a very nice rug.Korra finds the apartment, but has difficulty getting the door open as the other side is stuffed with bin bags. Tenzin greets her as warmly as he can with the resources he has. He apologises for the mess. Some thugs thought he was someone else and made off with his rug. Could she get it back? That'd be swell.
>>83069Don't worry, I credited Ludelia when I posted mine on Hentai Foundry.
>>83071Can we just start writefagging this, knowing it's going to be so not canon next year? Because I want this bad.>>83065That's pretty fuckwin, didn't make that connection before. Major!Korra would be amazing. I'm now envisioning delicious super cop action a la Avatar universe style.With a kind of Major Kusanagi attitude would come a personality that I feel is rather similar to Kyoshi, which I like. Frankly, there just wasn't enough JUSTICE!Kyoshi in AtLA.
>>83065Actually when i first saw the concept art i thought of Balsa from Seirei no Moribito.
>>83069Thanks but >>82937 can't be Korra: no dem hips, no dat ass, no da Korra.
>>83074Goddammit I just looked this up and now I need to watch the whole thing. Especially after seeing this on YT.
>>83074Oh my god... I was thinking the same! Last night I was talking to a friend how much similarities I found between ATLA and Seirei... and now THIS.Now I'm imagining a Korra/Balsa crossover pic...
>>83076It's a very good series. Balsa is not only a badass, but a great character all around.
Imagine how Zutarians will freak out when it turns out the current Fire Lord is a descendant of Fire Lady Consort Mai.
>>83080 I'm pretty sure the rest of the pairings stayed together also. I don't see why Mike and Bryan would split up Zuko/Mai and Sokka/Suki.Also, I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed Korra's nice ass. xD
Everyone loves dat back.
Clever.
:D I love this.
Oh god so much fanart.
Question, someone on /co/ said they saw an Avatar Extras during an episode that said "Avatars always die in the season corresponding with the next element in the cycle."Does anyone else know if that's true? Because it would make sense since there are more benders born during the time of year the corresponds to their element, which would mean the new avatar would plenty of bending babies to be born into.And if it's true, does that mean Aang died during Winter? Also if true, does that mean each year when they get older Avatars get a little worried during certain seasons? Or even further, technically wouldn't they get worried every year during that one season? Does this lead to a certain amount of predestination in the Avatarverse?
>>82875Capoeira already made an appearance with the Aang/Katara dance scene in "the headband".
>>83064>>83071
>>83091Wait, how would that work? I mean, what if a Water Tribe Avatar got buried under a flock of geese in autumn? How do the fates align to make this certain? Predestination?After all, Aang did technically 'die' at the end of Book 2, and that was near the end of Spring. It rather takes the drama out the whole business if the Avatar's doomed to die during a predetermined time of year. Methinks Avatar Extras was making shit up.>>83088Also, it seems no one can conceive of a Tenzin younger than 30.Related point: airbending tattoos. Would Tenzin have them? You need to master twelve special techniques to earn them, and I don't think the press release says that Tenzin's an airbending master, just an airbender. Korra doesn't have a great variety of choice in teachers, so he doesn't have to be an expert for her to have to learn from him.
>>83097But he does need that rug!It really tied the room together!:D
WATER TRIIIIIBE
>>83099 >>12 techniquesActually, that figure is 36. 35 if you invent a new technique yourself.Source is the avatar art book.
>>83099I was just wondering anyone had also seen this extra during and episode or had it confirmed anywhere else before. But yeah, it does seem like something could be made up. Because if true, then there was never any danger of Aang dying when Azula shot him.
>>83076It's a better series than ATLA, but don't go expecting much action.
>>83104Durp. Yeah, I knew Aang had invented a new technique and got his tattoos a step early as a result, but I forgot there were that many steps. Silly me.I think Tenzin's unlikely to be a master just by sheer probability. Aang was a prodigy to whom bending came as naturally as breathing, and whose loose and carefree attitude improved his technique (up until he needed to learn other elements) simply by how talented he was at it. Aang would likely apply that same easy and fun learning technique to Tenzin, but how likely is it that Tenzin would be as good at bending as his father? It's been likened to musical talent, in that it runs in families, but that's no guarantee and no substitute for the hard work and grit Korra seems to have applied to her study. Not all airbenders can be Mozarts.I'm just imagining the conversation:TENZIN: The secrets of airbending will be unlocked once you have mastered all 36 techniques.KORRA: Great! What happens then?TENZIN: Uhh...I don't know, I didn't get that far...
>>83109It might be interesting if Korra learns the basics from him, and then they have to explore for the long lost knowledge of how to complete the mastery together.I doubt this will be the focus though, if it happens at ALL, seems like Korra's gonna be Batman in Republic City and fight the baddies and undermine the anti-bender movement as the main plot.
>>83110It would be a decent way of levelling the odds between Korra and her Republic City adversaries, if she's unable to unleash her full potential thanks to no one being left to help her reach it. It fits the theme of the series with the rise of the anti-bender movement, as in "the old ways are dying out. We're the future now."
>>83081i'm hoping sokka has kids by ALL the kyoshi warriors.
>>83114>>83081Its not Sokkas fault if they all look the same with the war paint on!
>>83114...You know, off topic, but I kinda get tired of the "Bitches Love Sokka" thing. Wanna know who had no trouble gitting fangirls? Who was far more popular on Kyoshi Island?Aang.I haven't counted, but I'm pretty sure the amount of girls who were enthralled by Aang over the course of the series outnumbers the amount of girls Sokka had sway over, and Aang typically didn't screw things up with any girls. come Avatar/Kyoshi Day, they still wanted to see "Aangy," the poetry society in Ba Sing Se kicked Sokka's ass out for screwing up a rap-haiku.Back on topic:I have a few ideas for what I wouldn't mind Tenzin looking like, maybe I should sketch those. Also, I kinda wouldn't mind Tenzin being one of those obfuscating stupidity-types. He's a badass, but he's so weird that he's not an immediately effective teacher.
Mentor Aang > Mentor Roku
>>83116Maybe that could be an upended expectation? Like, everyone expects him to be a crouching-moron-hidden-badass, but when push comes to shove and things really go down he actually is as incompetent as it seems?Mmm...I don't know if I'm taking this idea too far. Now it's just starting to sound depressing.
the reason aang died so young is because katara died in childbirth with tenzin.aang didn't want to live any more once his twu luv 4ever was gone and started wasting away and becoming less interested in life.tenzin, raised mostly by his older brothers and sisters, resents this but still feels he has to do his duty to help his father's reincarnation learn airbending. so he's got a lot of daddy issues that he has to work out dealing with korra.
>>83120Yea lot to live up to puts but a good front but right behind that he's freaked out he could fuck up the world his father built. 50 Story Bronze Stature of Aang and he has to live up to that.
>>83124Or the "I knew your father before he was killed by (insert name of Anti Bending leader here)" and later it turns out Aang is the leader and was driven to this crusade because the powers of the Avatar couldn't do dick to save the one he loved.
>>83124 >katara died in childbirth with tenzin. >tenzin, raised mostly by his older brothers and sisterstwo of whom are named Tseng and Yi LinIn all seriousness, though, it would suck if Katara was prematurely dead, too. That'll be a major "Chrono Cross" move on the part of Bryke - severely underestimating the fans' attachments to the original cast.>>83080 For all we know Zuko may even be alive. And next in line for the throne is Crown Princess is Irah.
>>83138You know, it actually makes sense for Aang to die (sort of) early. He HAS to die, of course, because otherwise there wouldn't be another Avatar, but since he didn't grow to be biblically old there's still a chance that his friends are still alive.
I love this one so much :3
>>83113>Realizing there'll be someday where the Benders'll be a extinct, rather than running the world. Thus, eventually, going from an exotic, fantasy, alienating world, to our universe.>feelsbadman.jpg
I think one of the main flaws in logic in this thread is that Tenzin is exclusively Aang's son. He's also Katara's son, and seeing as how overbearing and motherly she is with her friends, she's going to have an impact on the kid as well. "Tenzee, straighten your stance! Don't slouch, no bender got ahead by slouching. Lower your stance! Loooweeerrr... good. Tuck your elbows in! Feet straight forward! Have you done your conditioning? You need to stay in shape if you want to be a good Airbender!"If Aang trains the kid, Katara's going to be there (nagging at aang or tenzin or both). So Aang may be a tougher master than we think, because A. the katara thing and B. this is him continuing on one of the fundamental practices of his entire CULTURE. If he doesn't teach this kid properly, no one will. And Tenzin's going to be a pretty damn solid bender. Bending is semi-genetic, and if you have powerful benders in your family, like maybe your mom's a water-bending master and your dad's the god-damned AVATAR you'll most likely have a good headstart. Also: Tenzin would most likely be kinda dark, right? I mean generally speaking the dark skin is dominant over the light... though it can go either way.
>>83144Maybe he's a rebellious type. Maybe he acted out and lost his way because he felt inadequate compared to his prestigious mother and father.
Some zutarians are actually being pretty cool about this.>Overall - can’t wait. It sounds like it’s gonna be epic. Do wish they hadn’t spoiled us with Tenzin’s parentage, though…i could have lived in ignorant Zutarian bliss a little bit longer without that.>Either way, FEMALE LEAD FTW. <333
>>83145i guess, but while aang's a little lazy and katara's kinda naggy... okay she's really naggy and motherly and overbearing and fiery and passionate and delicious, delicious brown and her skin must be so soft and warm when you hold her close under a fur blanket...what was i sayingOHright. tenzin. Anyway, the point is is that they're nice people, and generally speaking they would nurture the best in him rather than the worst, at least in my opinion.I mean Aang would model his fathering off of Gyatso, and Katara would model her mothering off of... i guess sort of her mother, but mostly on the premise that she'll always be there for her kids. always, 100%, no questions asked (see: her mom died, hakoda left, emotional baggage from that).though i admit, it would be more interesting if he was sort of a layabout.
>>83140>toes inward...Just thought of that /fa/ comic....heheh.
Holy shit. :3
>>83140Oh, Aang, you so crazy.Haven't posted yet, sooo...Really fucking excited about this. Not sure if surprised about so much Korra fanart within 24 hours of the announcement, but GodDAMN is some of it good. Major want of Korra already.Hoping to see Granma Toph and Sokka somewhere in this series, or at least these two in flashbacks if nothing else.Just a quick speculation: The guys are deliberately only showing us Korra's back because she has some sort of scar or disfigurement or some sort of thing that will surprise us and make us redraw all of our fanart the moment we see it. I'm already waiting in anticipation for the revealing of her actual face.
Any idea on how they will handle the Avatar state? What I got form the series is that not every avatar was able to master it, and it mostly worked as a "defense mechanism" as Roku put it at some point. Besides, if Korra can go into the Avatar state at will AND control it, she would be kind of overpowered. I mean, what the fuck can you do against that?
>>83152This.
>>83007That gave me a big ol' smile.
>>83152It's only a defense mechanism until the Avatar masters all the elements. After that he/she can access the powers of the Avatar State at-will.
From another forum...>>Butbutbut, what about Appa. ;-;>>Appa went through binary fission and now there are 123,132,897,146,123 of him. What.
>>82826Who's that now?
>>83037No, thanks.
>>83088>>83071>>83064I love it
>>83054not exactly, no. zutara fans know zutara will never be canon, but we did hope maybe we wouldn't have to have kataang rubbed in our faces anymore.
I theorize that your problem lies in your own belief that it is being rubbed in your face when it's really just another part of the show.
>>83175I'm trying to see the "rubbed in [your] faces" part in the Interview, and I'm... not. I just see Bryke saying "Yeah, it's Katara." Do you mean by other fans?
>>83176As a Romeo + Mercutio shipper, I was offended how the movie kept shoving Romeo + Juliet in my face.
>>83175Woah, a real Zutaran. I've never actually talked to one before. This is great because there's one question I've always wanted to ask. In order to actually watch the show, did you guys have to invent some kind of periscope like device so that you could still see the TV whilst having your head shoved up your own ass?
Don't even like Avatar and I'm excited!
>>83175> but we did hope maybe we wouldn't have to have kataang rubbed in our faces anymore.Wait.......what?
>>83179Eh. I kinda shipped Zutara in the beginning, then I was like "Awww Kataang awww" and I flew to that.Then I just kinda fell in and outta Avatar and decided fuck it.
All I'm gonna say is this.Goddamn Spirit World.Want moar of it.
>>83175 >not exactly, no. zutara fans know zutara will never be canon, but we did hope maybe we wouldn't have to have kataang rubbed in our faces anymore.LOL! If you don't want Kataang "rubbed in your faces" I suggest you watch a different show.
Just started working on this one.
>no more air bisons>no more lemurs>feelsbadman.jpg
>>83197There must be more lemurs, or where did Momo come from? He's not 100+ years old, you know. Also>>Appa went through binary fission and now there are 123,132,897,146,123 of him.
>>83160>binary fusion>123,132,897,146,123>odd number
>>83194
>>83202Okay, YOU can tell an army of Skybisons that their math is incorrect.
Already a Korra Fanfic out.>Rated: Teen for Romance (Kataang) and Character Death>Summary: The world mourns when Avatar Aang passes away due to mysterious circumstances. As the new Avatar, a Water Tribe girl named Korra, begins training, Aang's friends remember their fond memories of him.>Disclaimer: "Avatar: The Last Airbender" and "Avatar: The Legend of Korra" both belong to Bryke!>LES: "Avatar: The Legend of Korra" has invaded my brain, can you tell? The internet exploded with info about A:TLoK this morning, and pretty much all the news made my heart soar! (Especially the news about a certain teacher of Korra who happens to be the confirmed canon child of my favorite couple!) This is kind of a pre-series prequel, and begins right after Aang's death at the age of 65. (I'm guessing Korra's around 17.)http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6167445/1/Remembrance
Well, even in ATLA the only creatures of bending powers that existed prominently were the bagermoles. There was only One sky bison, two moon spirits, and two dragons. Korra will probably go the direction of a society abandoning the appreciation for the bending creatures of old in favor of technological development.
semi-Fresh from OTHER /co/>Tenzin and Korra having a training match>Avatar State activates>HEY SON, YA WINNIN'?>Avatar State activates>Hey son! Ya checkin out my new life's body?>Dad, that's terrible! She's sixteen, AND she's... YOU!>Oh come on, son. Have you seen this ass?>Dad!>Almost as nice as your mother's...>DADalso, WHY IS THIS NOT THE NEW STICKY!?!?
>>83202I am ashamed for not catching that sooner.
>>83207>also, WHY IS THIS NOT THE NEW STICKY!?!?It's always the top thread anyways, so it's not like it's getting lost.
>>83207I think we're all gonna be a little disappointed when it's revealed just how old and non-shippable-with-Korra Tenzin is. :P
>>83194I must say, I'm very partial to the last one on the right, but that's just me.
>>83212But these... THESE, my friends, are the best faces of the lot.
>>83212Oh Christ, I cracked up at the Buckley face.
>>83065OH HELL YES. (anime/film)Motoko is my freaking hero!!
Here's one I really, really like.
>>83211Not me. I am A-OK with a drastically less romantic show. Don't get me wrong, I liked the AtLA romance. I also really really like anime/anime-like shows that feature older people.
>>83212...you DO realize that that's the Dreamworks Face™, don't you?
>>83219Yes.And I don't care. Seriously, I think it looks good on her.
Oh hey, actual news:http://www.ugo.com/tv/comic-con-2010-avatar-airbender-composer-confirmed-for-legend-of-korrahttp://lastairbenderfilm.com/2010/07/22/zuckerman-to-score-korra/>Fellow Avatar fan Matt Patches from UGO was able to shoot some questions Jeremy Zuckerman’s way during a panel at the San Diego Comic-Con. When asked if he were open to returning to compose for “The Legend of Korra,” Zuckerman responded with a resounding “absolutely!” Jeremy Zuckerman along with Benjamin Wynn, comprised the band known as The Track Team, who were responsible for the iconic music & sound design in “Avatar: The Last Airbender.”
>>83218I too am OK with this>>83221Great news.
>>83212I can tell what all of those are but the second.>>83221<Obligatory
>>83218Also yeah, I can really get behind a series with a male and female lead in a non-romantic, intergenerational friendship who are not really related. Like Monster.
>>83221>Never felt Avatar's music was all that.>No particular feelings one way or the other.
>>83229>implying that avatar's music wasn't buff as fuck
>>83221This man composed Momo's theme music. He can do no wrong.
>>83211Depends on when Tenzin was born. If he was firstborn and Katara was about 20 when he was born (I doubt they'll have Katara teen pregnant, since that'd send a bad message to the kiddies,) Tenzin would be like 60 years old. If Tenzin turns out to be the youngest in a whole gaggle of kids Aang had, he could be like 40. I'm sure there'll be some Spring-December romance shippers out there who'll love the idea of an older man tapping dat well toned ass. Although it depends on how Tenzin looks like, maybe he'll be really manly despite his old age.
>>83230It was well done, it fit the show, and I liked the use of unusual instruments.It just wasn't my thing.
>>83232>Although it depends on how Tenzin looks like, maybe he'll be really manly despite his old age.It would not be without precedence.
>>83233You are not alone.
>>83212 > B^U!KorraB^U!Awesomeface.jpgI LOL'd IRL.
Observation made on another forum.
>>83238"Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to bend free."
why ;A;
I love spirit!Aang's mustache.
>>83238I had to look reeeaaaal hard to see a statue. It looks more like just another temple with a big tower.
>>83237Dreamworksface!Korra is surprisingly good-looking, like Anon said. Really suits a streetwise personality; guess some things just have their place.Now if only we could do the same to the B^U face...
>>83247Maybe you need to adjust your monitor settings a tad? Once it was pointed out to me, I could see the statue clear as day; definitely looks like Aang in priestly robes.
Whoa damn, there's a serious deluge of Korra fanarts here! Shows the fanbase is not as "dead" as everyone thinks it is. Well, time to make a bunch more replies here. And come on, if any thread here deserves a sticky, this one does! >>83080 Delicious tears. >>83091 No way, that's just stupid. And they also said that Firebending would be the hardest for an Airbender to learn when we all know it was really Earthbending. I want to know who wrote those, they've got some false info mixed in with the legitimate stuff. >>83102 HELL. YEAH. >>83116 No one is denying Aang had his share of fangirls, but bitches really do love Sokka. >>83124 >>83175 Oh hai diet otaku. Cry moar, bb~ >>83207 I lol'd. >>83221 YESSSS! I don't think Avatar would be the same without The Track Team, those guys rock hard. >>83229 is obviously crazy. >>83238 MIND = BLOWN
>>83256>No one is denying Aang had his share of fangirls, but bitches really do love Sokka. I was postulating that, in fact, Sokka just had a few admirers, and Bitches Love Aang.If he wasn't totally and completely in love with Katara, he'd have been rolling in women, possibly literally, you know I'm right.
>>83261Aang had fangirls on Kyoshi Island, and, arguably, On Ji thought he was cute. That doesn't seem like much to me compared to Suki, Yue, Toph, Ty Lee, Azula, and a whole poetry club practically throwing themselves at Sokka. I'm not trying to deny Aang was smooth, but he only had eyes for Katara, and even if he didn't, he still doesn't strike me as the type to be strolling around with a harem unless it's in some funny fanart, you know? Why are we even doing this? The shipping wank is infesting us all!
>>83266There was also Meng and possibly a good number of the girls watching him dance.It's not really shipping, I just think Aang was better at getting girls and not immediately pissing them off than Sokka.Also, recent fanarts got me thinking, would Korra have Inuit facial tattoos? Might be an interesting way to reinforce her cultural identity.I was once thinking of possible ways for Tenzin to look and considered them, but they were more prevalent on women in Arctic cultures.
>>83269Whoops, forgot Meng. Yes, you're right about Aang being more of a "charmer" than Sokka, but that's just the fact that their personalities are so different. I get you now, though.>would Korra have Inuit facial tattoos? Might be an interesting way to reinforce her cultural identity.Hmm. Don't know if want. Do you have any examples of IRL ones?
>>83271Not to many at the moment. I'll try to find some good pics, but here's a website talking about it:http://www.vanishingtattoo.com/arctic_tattoos.htmAlso interesting to note, The Aleuts, a people from Southern Alaska, also practiced medicinal acupuncture, just like the Chinese. Maybe it's something people brought with them across the Bering Straight land bridge.
>>83272Wow, this looks like an interesting read. Thanks.
thanks to ty lee's influence, the kyoshi warriors will all be even-more-badass painted acrobatic ninja swordswomen who know pressure points... a skill likely to be highly prized by the anti-bending groups, btw.
>dietotakuSeriously, does this bitch have a life?
oh shit son, i thought this bitch was just some OC PLZDNTSTEAL that kept on popping up in my inbox
>>83280Aren't you glad you were wrong? :) And hey, aren't you a mod? Sticky this thread, please. It deserves it.
>>83279She isn't that bad when she's not talking about shipping and the finale.
>>83283Yeah, but as seen by her reaction to Tenzin, it doesn't take much to set her off. The only nice thing I can say about her is she makes pretty good icons, when they're not shipping related.
>>83151>>Just a quick speculation: The guys are deliberately only showing us Korra's back because she has some sort of scar or disfigurement or some sort of thing that will surprise us and make us redraw all of our fanart the moment we see it. I'm already waiting in anticipation for the revealing of her actual face.This. That's why I'm not doing dem hots Korra cheesecake yet. The devil is in the details!
>>83288Yeah, that's what this series needs: rule 63 Zuko as a protagonist.
>>83251 I dunno, kinda looks like a giant erection with a bubble on it to me.
>>83291Mature.
>>83291No way. I thought Yamino was a lesbian.
>>83295Everyone knows that penises are invisible to lesbians! I was joking, but it's not like it would be the first time some artist thought it would be funny to throw a penis into official art for a kid's animation.
A lot of great looking Korra fanart so far.
>>83288You could do what JVC did and draw her from behind, or do it kinda like that one Mai pic by Gunsmoke.
>>83305this is hotsource?
>>83315Jesus, did we forget about her, or something?Artist is Hina, it's her most recent Tegaki: http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/dblog.php?u=1120&e=1176280
>>83315 Hina Meta drew that. Here's her gallery.http://www.unowen.net/tegaki/uentries.php?u=1120
>>83305Glorious! Great duality with the line there.Tons of other great pieces of work in this thread but I'm a bit overwhelmed in going back over all that and linking everyone...So, I'll just say this is one of the best starts a new season/series could ever hope to get.Good to see so many fans!
>>83319 Hina is pretty awesome.Looking for to Korra.
So...how long until we see some Azula x Korra pics?(ATLA Azula, naturally)
Oh Hina, why is everything you do excellent. :)Oh I found this comment on journalfen, made me lol:>Oh, poor Tenzin must have such angst. "You don't really love me! You only had me because Ninezin wasn't an airbender, and you needed someone to continue the family line! I'm just a way for you to live on! Well, the joke's on you, Dad, because I'm gay for [whatever they named Sokka and Suki's son]! The line dies with me!">And then there would be maniacal laughter followed by tragic, tragic weeping.
>83305>Hina draws Korrayaaaaay
>>83212heehee
:D
oh god what
>*LAUGHS AN EVIL LAUGH* OH I'M ALREADY WORKING ON NEW HEAD CANON... I JUST HAVE TO FIGURE OUT A REASON WHY KATARA WOULD LET AANG PORK HER IN THE FIRST PLACE...>THAT'S AN EASY ONE, FRIEND. PITY FUCK. :P I WOULD NOT PUT IT PAST KATARA, AS MUCH AS I LOVE HER.>[info]dietotaku2010-07-22 04:13 am UTC (link)HMM, I BLEEV YOU MAY BE RIGHT. SO KATARA IS ALL ON HER HANDS AND KNEES READING A BOOK WHILE AANG DOES HIS BUSINESS, AANG FINISHES IN A MATTER OF SECONDS AND THEN KATARA SNEAKS OFF TO TAKE IT UP THE BUTT FROM ZUKO Y/Y?>EXACTLY! XD
>>83329I think I might love old man Aang almost as much as kid Aang.
>>83329lol'd
>>83332I can't even make fun of these people anymore. They're just so god damn fuck-awful pathetic. What the fuck has to be so wrong with your social/sex life that you honestly get this upset/concerned about what imaginary animated cock went into whoever's imaginary animated pussy.Here's some CAPSLOCK action for ya: SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET OUT OF THE FANDOM!Not that I consider these people are fans of the show anyway.
>>83329these are the best. THE BEST.god damn i really hope aang would be a semi-constant companion for Korra. the internal dialogue between them and the interaction with people through korra would be hilarious and awesome.it would make sense too, aang got killed pretty young, he'd still want to have a hand in the world, and Korra would be the ticket in.i lol'd at sifu hotman and twinkletoes.
I have no proper conception of lighting or neck anatomy but I couldn't resist taking a crack at this.
>>83194Here's a face I made using the head template.
>>83338I really like that one!
:)
>>83342oh god the tears won't stop D:
>>83343;_;
>>83342>>83343I know what's going on in Katara's mind ;_;
Did anyone else mistake Korra for a male the first time they saw the promo pic?
Nick decides at the last second that korra would be cheaper to make as a live action tv show. They get m.night to direct it.
>>83347Hips don't lie.
>>83348i know people use hyperbole a lot on the internet, and i know people use this hyperbole a lot in real life, so i just want to be clear.i would kill M. Night Shyamalan. no, really.i would stand up, go to my car, find where he lives, drive there, wait for him to leave.i'd make a half-hearted attempt to make it look like suicide or a drug overdose, but really, i want him to be an example.maybe afterward i'd wake up in a cold sweat, wondering if i had done the right thing. i'd look into the mirror, look deep into my own reflection, and really i'm just fucking with you guys, i'd get mad but i wouldn't kill him. maybe.
I've been watching the entire series again (needed a way to get shyamalinidinding's failmovie out of my head) and you know what i was wondering? how close they are gonna stick to aunt Wu's prediction for Katara. Wu said katara would have a third great grandchild before quietly passing away in her sleep... after all, she's never been wrong...also, big fan of Korra's physical build. now if only we'd get to see a face...
>>83342>>83343I'm certain we'll have well crafted and beautiful scenes like this in the new show...Aang...I miss you buddy, bestest lil Avatar ever sniff
How much you want to bet Zuko is now a wise old man...confusing you more and more with each parable. Iroh would be so proud
http://forums.avatarspirit.net/index.php?topic=18987.0>So, Im currently using my iPod to type a short message, but I just got out of the avatar signing at the Nick booth. One pretty big piece of info- Korra IS a miniseries, and Bryke is happy because tha means they can really make an impressive 12 episodes instead of hits and misses like they felt they had with original series. Also, expect Korra to air in LATE fall 2011. I'll update this post with pics when I get home
>>83357imokwiththis.jpg
>>83357Uh. Okay. They know best, I suppose...
i'd rather have a series. or a series of miniseries with different topics would be cool too, one set in the past, one directly continuing plot threads from a previous story, etc.but to hear just 12 episodes, with no hint at any more beyond that is a bit depressing.
>>83357I want more, dammit!
>>83357I think 26 episodes would have been a better amount of episodes, but 12 is good too.
Yeah, I wish that it was more, but hopefully they know what they're doing and will make the most of that short time.In other news...>@dariane http://twitpic.com/280a5v - Aww. Meelo and Korra! Cute sketch by Ki-Hyun RyYaaaay we have scribbles for Korra's face from one of the Korean animators (I guess).
>>83365At least now we know she doesn't have a horribly disfiguring scar.And Meelo seems to be SokkaTwo. ...If anything.
>>83366I've heard on /co/ that Meelo is Sokka and Suki's grandson but no confirmation yet.
>>83357Probably 12 episodes will mean better animation and less to none filler episodes with more feeling of continuity.Paranoia Agent has 13 episodes and FLCL had only 6, so 12 episodes for Korra is good enough for me.
>>83358ah, found the image finally-FFFFFFFF duplicate entry!!!! I'll just use this one instead.Following up, being short isn't a bad thing. Many anime series are 26, 13 episode jobs and an OVA or two. Hell, FLCL was only 6 eps and it was influencial enough that Mike and Bryan made it required viewing every member of the staff. Perhaps the brevity of Korra is a nod of sorts to FLCL?
i'm going to pretend 13 episodes means hour long episodes.
>>83369In b4 pissed off Tokka shippers.
>>83357What do they mean by mini-series? Does that mean 12 half-hour episodes, 12 hour long episodes, or 12 feature length episodes?Because which one it is greatly affects how much detail they can go into.
Wait.Is Sifu Kisu confirmed for this??
I'm hoping "12 episodes" means there won't be a 9-bleep-months delay break like there was back when Book 3 aired.
I KNEW there was something fishy about the series taking place in Republic city. I was maybe hoping for tons of flashbacks to her training and maybe Aang talking about their lives after Ozais defeat.Sigh I hope this gets approved for a second season right away as I have the feeling it being a "miniseries" is just to test it's legs for the first season before they commit to more.
>>83178Yay I despite Shakespeare. Hamlet + Horatio was the OTP of mine, but William had to keep rubbing Ophelia + Hamlet in your face!
i think 12 episodes a SEASON, with maybe 3 seasons would be a perfect forumla. no waste, you can build each season to be great and tell a longer story. but if it's just 12 half hour episodes, well, that's a pretty short legend.
You know what I would love to have happen. If Korra already has a boyfriend at the beginning of the show, and have it be someone from the Southern Watertribe. None of this mixing the elements fire and ice bullshit. Just a nice normal already established relationship. They've known each other for a few years and just started dating a few months before the show started. There done. Just undercut all the shipping crap right from the get go. I can see it now. Korra and Guy McWatertribe are busy spending some time together when she should be training. Tenzin comes casually walking by. "When you're done making out with my father, can you remind her she's supposed to be learning airbending right now."Tenzin walks off with a bemused smile on his face. Guy pulls away and shakes his head. "Uh... you should probably go train for a while. It's gonna take about an hour to get that image out of my head."Korra sighs as Guy walks off. "Dammit Tenzin!"
>>83419Perfect
Oh balls, I think we hit the bumplimit already.
>>83357Exactly what I was hoping for. Lain, Haibane, Niea, All of the ABe series are only 13 eps and they were all concentrated brilliance.
>>83342>>83343>>Grandma KataraYEEEEEEEEESS!>>She realizes Korra is the Avatar, and Aangs spirit lives on.TTTTTTTTTTTTT_______________TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
>>83419
>>83434Yes, I know somebody already drew that joke. But dammit, it's a good joke.
>>83445I say we should draw 34 of her getting fucked by fat cocks even if she isn't like Katara.
>>83445 hey i think you are altering the word of no ma'amhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dj4GVyKYpZI&feature=related
>>83337 Brisk! Just like she likes it in the morning.As for the 12 episodes, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I honestly wasn't expecting more than one season. The way the story was structured and such just seemed to limit what they could do. Still, it's a little sad that we'll get less than I was anticipating to begin with.Well... who knows, maybe they'll want to do more in the world after this. I hope.
>>83449Or she could just go back to the healing room with the other women.
I just learned about this about 5 seconds ago.I really should finish watching the original show, this actually sounds kind of neat.
>>83434I feel like you made a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure reference. Please tell me you did. My happiness depends on it.
