No surprises there

As Iguessed, it’s outside the “typical Nickelodeon” fare - and streaming it (B3?) was the biggest digital event they’d had all year

Two-part finale, yes.

 

[Joeytj]

Korra is of corse metal bending great already, while Bolin still hasn't gotten the hang of it.

Now, the dinner scene from yesterday's clip.

[Joeytj]

Excellent excellent episode. Excellent, that's all I will say. Make sure you watch it later!

 

[Joeytj]

Oh wow!! They brought on Dee Bradley Baker to do a Secret Tunnel sing along! Haha.

You know we're not supposed to link to nsfw art in this thread, Satch!!!

Also, I just saw screencaps of Asami

Spoiler

in pajamas

for the upcoming episode.

 

[Joeytj]

They ended the panel with a new preview, narrated by Shiro Shinobi (they old style announcer that does the recaps every episode) and you will say "WOW". We did.

Here be spoilers:

Spoiler

Korra apparently does get captured in that Oasis we've seen, although by the looks of the other previews, she gets rescued...again. We get a big fight between Zaheer and Lin in a plateau like setting, which looks epic.

But we get to see Korra's reaction to a scene that is implied to be the one where Zaheer tells her the truth about him and his goals. And Korra's reaction isn't anger, but more like sad and disbelief shock, not angry shock. I see a big twist coming.

Zaheer is actually Aang!

 

[Amzin]

So wait, if they're going online only, why can I only find shady places that have book 3 episodes? Are they on Nick's website and just don't show up for me or what?

 

[jediyoshi]

These spoiler bars are burning into my soul.

 

[RPGCrazied]

No info on where it will stream? Sure hope its on Amazon Prime instant video at least.

 

[Satch]

its going to be streaming on Nick's website every week

first five episodes are on there now as of yesterday

 

[TangerineCloud]

Oh lawd, Korra's got her hair down again. I can't even handle it.

Okay, so it's not so horrible then. Ah well.

why cant book 4 feature korra with her hair down

 

[Trey]

I expect a Quentin Tarrentino writing credit on whichever episode that shot is from.

 

[bearythebear]

They're trying to put a positive spin on a shitty situation.

At least we get one more season, and I wouldn't want the show to continue indefinitely.

 

[Perfect Cha0s]

I wonder if the Avatar franchise makes Nick enough money to warrant continuing in an online-only capacity. I wouldn't mind at all if they made new shows in the vein of Korra/ATLA that were digital only; what they're doing right now, however, just reeks of mismanagement and (perhaps unintentional) self-sabotage.

 

[NHarmonic.]

I hope that concept art is included in Book 3's Artbook, i love the style of those sketches...

 

[Pappasman]

Some concept art from the panel. Saw someone posted this on twitter.

 

[Zeroneo]

Did we get any gameplay for the game?

 

[MartyStu]

Awesome. Also cements their status as 'antiheroes'. At the very least, something big is going down.

 

[Mononoke]

Oh lawd, Korra's got her hair down again. I can't even handle it.

Are these just concept art? Not stills from upcoming episodes right?

So outside of spoilers from tonight's episode, anything else new?

 

[Riki]

I didn't see the tranq dart...

Stills. Awesome/bizarre stills.

I would not accept anything less than the current standard of animation the show possesses. If that condition were satisfied, I'd be for more digital only avatar.

What, really? Da fuck.

[Pai Pai Master]

I guess I can understand their reasoning from a business perspective but it still seems so oddly handled to me.

First off, I'm sure the online ratings for the show have been stronger than the TV ratings, because they fucked up the scheduling so badly for the show. It seemed to be doing fine in the Saturday time slot and they said Book 2 online viewings were stronger than the TV viewings, which would certainly be the case when you pull the rug under the audience and handle the scheduling the way they did.

Secondly, it just sucks.
