"AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER coming back as new TV series on Nickelodeon? 4 days ago Viacom filed papers to trademark AVATAR: LEGEND OF KORRA"http://twitter.com/TVTango/statuses/14509554829THIS PLEASES TOPHMore fan reaction at: http://community.livejournal.com/avatar_fans/3183876.html
>>77760>>77769>>77780Oh hai thar, Long Feng O'Dai Li.>>77794>>77798Not fond of the whole idea, personally. I guess it could be interesting, but meh. At least it's not as bad as all the idiots suggesting an evil Avatar. I just want to see more Airbenders in general since we saw so little of them in the show, besides Aang.
>>77744Hm....Breast Fire/Breast Burn/Fire Blaster= Firebending from your chest. Rust Hurricane/Great Typhoon/Rust Tornado= Airbending just hydrogen, bringing on embrittlement?Photon Beam= Pure chi from the eyes?Rocket Punch/Atomic Punch/Turbo Smasher Punch= The Dai Li's gloves. 'nuff said.Jet Scrander= Propeller-driven gliderScramble Dash= Folding backpack gliderGod Scrander= Metal glider that transforms around user into a fist.
Korra is a continent on the other side of the world which is based on Dark Ages/Late Roman europe.
>>78220That would be lame.
>>78221You would be lame.Also vikings
So let me get this straight. You can fly from the north pole to the south pole but you're missing an entire continent?They should just go the final fantasy route and say "Lol! Parallel world!"
Make three seasons, get three more reboot movies.
>>78231Why must you crush my ideas with logic?
Anyone else wonder what Airbenders could do with sub elements. Earthbending had Metalbending, Waterbending had Bloodbending and Firebending had Lightningbending. But I don't remember Airbending having any sub element.
>>78311Soundbending?
>>78315Voice throwing?
>>78330Sound is essentially waves through air, I don't see why an airbender couldn't control that. Do stuff like Banshee's sonic scream, or nullify sound in a certain area.
>>78311Vacuumbending?
>>78315
From DongbuFeng.net"Jake here, with some news that I would say will be pretty big in the Avatar universe.I can exclusively confirm there is a new series in development at Nickelodeon that involves the Avatar world. My source says the series takes place 100 years in the future, but did not specify if it was an actual series, or perhaps a miniseries."Avatar: The Last Airbender" creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko are, of course, creating and producing the new series. No word on how much of the original Avatar staff will return, but I know the crew will not be back in its entirety.Is it "Legend of Korra"? Your guess is as good as mine, as I wasn't able to confirm that. So, we'll have to wait on details from that."The only new thing I got from this is the 100 years in the future thing.
>>79044FFFF DON'T KNOW IF WANTI'm not totally ready to let go of the characters we traveled with, but I also trust Bryke.
>>78541Aww, I like that character design. Kind of a shame it was just on a spinoff cardgame.
>>79044But.... a hundred years? That means Aang could still be alive!
>>79045>>79054I really, really, really don't want to let go of the characters either. But I can't see it happening any other way. Firstly, The Gaang's epic story is over. However much we desperately want more of them, it would feel like a retread. Furthermore I'm not sure I'd trust anyone, even Bryke, to come up with anything that can threaten Aang now without breaking the setting. Secondly, Nickelodeon is a kids channel, so they're going to demand a kid hero. Any continuance of the Gaangs story would have to increasingly focus on politics and dynastic succession, so unless Nickelodeon decides to sell the property to, say, the BBC, we'll have to make do with continuance fan-fic until someone has the good sense to authorize a novelisation. Or a spin-off; I, Zuko anyone?
>>79044Excellent news! Like I said above, I was hoping for a timeskip spinoff, and it looks like the creators are doing their best to keep the Avatar concept fresh. It allows us to become newly acquainted with a unique cast of characters without the old series overshadowing them, giving them room to breath and become their own entity.Besides, if we want to see the old characters in a mentor role, as the first series proved 100 years is no obstacle. Imagine Sokka taking up the same role as Bumi. He'd fit like a glove and you'd know it.
Bending's at least partially genetic. Something I read once said that if Aang and Katara would have kids, their child would be an Airbender, a Waterbender, or neither, so your ancestry and nationality go towards bending just a little. That said, there are cases like the twins in Aung Wu's village, where one twin was a bender and the other was not. At the same time, the people in the Northern Air Temple had only been there for a few years, at least since Teo lost the ability to walk in the flood that destroyed his village. Maybe the Mechanist and his people weren't Airbenders, but maybe after a while, they might start giving birth to them if they keep the whole Spirit of Air thing up for a generation or three.
>>79054unless he's back stabbed by a friend again.I never trusted Toph.
>>79044>100 years in the futureHang on. A full century after the fire nation successfully harnessed the power of steam locomotion and dirigible aviation? Not to mention the mechanist's success with pilotable kites and submersibles? You have to wonder what the technology level is going to be like. Yes Im hoping for a steampunk cartoon, but I don't dare say it too loudly
>>79161Personally, I m hoping the tech level will be the same or perhaps even slightly reversed, as then I can be proven right about the Avatar needing to die, and be content with that.
>>79161Then I will for you STEAMPUNK AVATAR FOR THE WIN!! Who says technology is incompatable with the whole Bending/Spirits thing? It is the polluting and warmongering that is more unbalancing than any application of something.Yes, the Mechanist's settlement at the NAT could well be the core of the Airbenders by that point.
>>79161Except didn't the creators confirm that Zuko had all of that technology destroyed in a good-will gesture to the rest of the world?inb4 why is the Avatar considered good again argument...
>>79179 It wasn't the creators. The idea of having all the air ships destroyed as peace gesture comes from Johanne Mate's non-canon fan story "Zhao of the Water Tribe" which can be found on her deviant art account.rufftoon.deviantart.com
>>79180Can't see that working too well. The plans and concepts are probably too well spread.
>>79450the Ideas are already out there. and once progress has started it's very hard to stop.
This is going to be Beast Machines to ATLA's Beast Wars.
>>79649And you're basing that on...
>>79653Gut instinct.
"You're both wrong. It's this guy.
http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=8709415#post8709415This person is basically interpreting the copyright registration saying "featuring animation" to mean this is going to be live action. I don't know how accurate is, can someone who knows more about copyright weigh their opinion in?
>>79983>A prop designer, which is not something I'd generally think an animated show would need,I wouldn't trust this guy's interpretation after this line.
>>79983Bitches don't know 'bout my rotoscoping.
Now there is a strange line that I read in the final episode of Avatar Extras (besides the humorous final line "Kataang wins") it specifically mentioned that there are only 3 seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender, when the extras usually refers to the show as a series. Maybe I'm just reading too far into it, but it might be a hint that there may be more to come.
>>80164>Avatar ExtrasI really have to watch those. Any chance they'll make it to a future release of the DVDs?
>>80170Don't hold your breath on that one brosef. It didnt seem like something someone would put on dvd when they can just put actual commentary in.
>>80174Aw...But putting both on the disc would be good. With BluRay being bigger and all.
Very much doubting this is real at all, but someone on /co/ linked this Twitter:http://twitter.com/LeaxBlow>Proud to announce that I'll be playing Jeong Su on Legend of Korra. So excited! xx>Been getting a lot of email about Jeong Su. I can't say much BUT here's a teaser... he's an airbender. :XThough I can't find anything whatsoever on the Internet about a Darren Leax.
>>81100> Darren Leax> Darin' Leax>Daring Leaks
>>81100I hope this is true, but since there's only three tweets and you got it from /co/, I doubt it is.
Hey, does anyone have that one Nick pamphlet or whatever that had been talking about those 3 one-hour animated TV movies that they were originally going to make?
>>81357Never mind, found it.
>>81358I wonder what went wrong.
>>81359Everything :/
>>81100Leaves me wondering......I should probably send in my own reel. Call if I could get an audition...I'll tell you guys if this goes anywhere.
Aung your girlfriend wants you cheyenne.
