- Kya is a super spiritual hippy type and probably a catalyst for all this spirit shit Korra's getting herself wrapped up in
- Everyone has new threads for the colder climate

Here's a compilation of all the info I've seen floating around:

* Book 2, "Spirits," will start out six months after Book 1.
* Book 2 will run for fourteen episodes total.
* Book 2 will begin with a festival at the Southern Water Tribe.
* Korra will be fighting shadowy spirit creatures of unknown origin. This book's main conflict will center on the Spirit World, and Korra will do battle with attacking spirits at the SWT festival.
* The main characters will get updated costumes to reflect their new situations and character development.
* New characters this season include: Kya, "Unolok", and Verick. We'll also be seeing a lot more of Bumi II and Korra's parents.
* "Unolok" is Korra's uncle via her father. He is a spiritual person, posh, and leader of the Northern Water Tribe. He has two children, twins, who are Korra's cousins. According to the creators, Korra's entire family is ripped.
* Verick is a Howard Huges type of Southern Water Tribe descent, on friendly terms with Bolin. His business is in shipping.
* Kya is a bit of hippie who's big into healing. She has a special bond with her niece Jinora.
* Bumi II will also reoccur, with the addition of a potbelly.
* Pro-bending will return, but the Fire Ferrets have a new line-up. Neither Mako nor Korra are members anymore. Bolin is team captain and struggling with his role in life now that...
* Mako has become a cop in Republic City.
* Asami has taken over Future Industries, but the company is in dire straits due to her father's crimes. She's committed to putting the company back on top.
* Korra has mastered the Avatar State, but abuses it for stupid stuff (like a race with the Pemzin spawn) that draws Tenzin's anger.
* We'll be visiting locations from the previous series: both the Southern Water Tribe and the Southern Air Temple (which has apparently gone to seed) will be toured. Korra will also be visiting the Spirit World for two episodes.

Fuck yeah. I hope she's still a major part of the Krew, because there are so many good story possibilities here.
>* Mako has become a cop in Republic City.
There is potential for fun with this, too. Especially if Lin has reclaimed her position as chief.
>* Korra will be fighting shadowy spirit creatures of unknown origin. This book's main conflict will center on the Spirit World, and Korra will do battle with attacking spirits at the SWT festival.
I had a feeling we were going to have to start dealing with the Spirit world as a major thing at some point in this show.

Check out this one. The picture got taken between frame transitions, but it gives you a good panorama of the Southern Air Temple. It's really gone to seed in the past 70 years. Guess the common fanon of Aang rebuilding the four temples has now been nixed.

We'll be learning more about Korra's family in Book 2. Her uncle via her father is apparently the leader of the Northern Water Tribe. So she's a North/South baby and, perhaps, distantly related to Yue via a relative of Arnook that took over after his death. (Given his particular bloodline had ended with the ascension of his own begotten daughter into the heavens.)

So many fucking boners this season.


Everything about Asami's sounds great, I'm looking foward to see how Bolin will develop (crosses fingers) and who's going to be his love intrest (hoping for Asami), and YAY SPIRITS!!

Also, more on Tenzin and Korra's families.

Lots of potential.
>> No. 108075
Unsure how to feel about the plot of season 2.

1) Korra is going to be fighting a spiny spirit, who may be the main antagonist; Asami is running a company; Mako is a police officer; and Bolin is still Pro-bending. So there's 4 different stories going on, which may or may not merge into 1 story.

Though this isn't a bad thing it can make the overall plot convoluted if there are too many things that are irreverent to the main plot. It can also lead to characters that aren't part of the main plot having little screen time or doing nothing of any real importance.

2) Fleshing out Bumi and Kya can be good as a filler episode but may cause problems if they're part of the main plot as more characters = more difficult to have all the characters do something relevant.

3) Hopefully Bryke won't try to tell the whole story in 14 episodes and have nothing left over for books 3 and 4. They need the plot to flow from one book to the next, not seem like 4 books that feature the same characters.
>> No. 108076
>>108075
ok, nick didn't tell them they were getting a second season until they are almost done with book 1. going back and changing the ending would have cost MONEY which nick was not obviously intent on spending.

while bryke have said they prefer the shorter seasons IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT HOW MANY EPISODES ARE ORDERED. and guess what? writing and storyboarding is done for book 2. it will be another isolated story so deal with it.

Pardon me for assuming that we give two fucks about what Tumblr thinks, but I'm observing that the latest shitstorm can be neatly divided into "Makorra haters" and "Makorra supporters", with the former presumably bashing the second-season developments (though I have yet to see more than one post to this effect) and the latter going through (rather absurd) lengths on the defensive.

Ladies and gentlemen... we have some kind of bizarro Zutara: a canon fire-water pairing that makes its detractors batshit.

>>So there's 4 different stories going on, which may or may not merge into 1 story.

I think the Asami and Bolin ones will dovetail early. Future Industries is supposed to be facing hard times, so she might not be able to sponsor the Fire Ferrets anymore... good think Bolin makes a friend with a Howard Hughes type. So the Fire Ferrets could get new sponsorship, leaving Bolin between two industrial titans as they battle against each other for control of the ailing Future Industries.

I'm starting to suspect that Amon was trying to orchestrate the world's most magnificent example of suicide-by-cop. He was going to spiritually mutilate Korra... who, in addition to being the Avatar, is the niece of the Chieftain of the Northern Water Tribe. The Water Tribe that is, incidentally, geographically close to Republic City.

Sokka and Zuko look as though they're about to go on some kind of dragon-fighting quest of sorts.

So it looks like more character development for Bolin is a go.

I want this to be a real thing now. I never realized just how much I loved their camaraderie together in The Boiling Rock.

Also I always wish Suki was included in group Gaang pictures. I know she wasn't there for long but dang it, she contributed significantly to taking down Ozai's airship fleet during Sozin's Comet.

I really need to stay off the korra tag on tumblr. There are way too many people saying "Bawwww, why wasn't my favorite character X mentioned" and "Booo, I don't like Y that Bryke is doing". I just... LoK is certainly not above criticism, but I just want to wallow in excitement, not get bogged down by premature negativity.
