It's complete bullshit that Korra won't have a female member of this new gang to girl-bro out with.

Asami Sato?

 

[CornBurrito]

It's complete bullshit that Korra won't have a female member of this new gang to girl-bro out with.

What?

It is episode 2. Katara didn't have another female on the team until Toph showed up a few episodes later.

Give it time.

 

[Tuck]

Yeah, Katara was the only girl for the entire first season. Non issue. By the end, there was Toph and Sukki.

actually their is an official drawing of a girl who could join the team since she looks about their age and is also

Spoiler

a really rich non-bender. That could make the team interesting with a non bender's view in these troubling times

I was under the impression that Mako and Bolin were the entirety of her crew. Good to hear otherwise.

Toph was only introduced in s2, remember? They'll probably mid-party it up halfway through the season.

was just about to post that. The wiki says her design is based off Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist. So that is pretty sweet.

 

[8BitsAtATime]

lol. I watched both eps and it seems to be off to a damn good start

There we go and apparently

Spoiler

she's a huge fan of the pro-bending matches.

So i'm not wrong getting the FMA vibe then? and any similarities would be intentional?

Which FMA? Which medium?
Looks nothing like her.

It says the team liked FMA so it wouldn't be surprising if it had some similarities.

I would guess its the hair?

Just a quick study I did a few months back of Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

EDIT: Man, some of these notes are cracking me up. The way people run with ideas and speculation! Yes, many of us on the crew enjoy Fullmetal (especially Joaquim, who has praised its virtues for some time), but Mike and I were late to the party. We didn’t start watching it until well after we created Mako and Bolin. And I think I had already designed Asami before then as well, but as Lust is such a killer design, I’m fine with saying she was influenced by her, and flattered anyone would think so. And why would people think we don’t like anime? I am amused!

its like the last sentence was calling out to Uchip somewhat

 

[Uchip]

I don't get it
Ive seen more anime than most

 

[apana]

I hope we get to see Avatar Yangchen again. She gave Aang the best advice:

Or better yet, Avatars that we haven't seen before.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

I don't get it

Too cool for Anime™

Or better yet, Avatars that we haven't seen before.

It would be nice to see the first Avatar and what things might've been like for him or her. But we all know that Aang is going to be the primary past avatar, like Roku before him.

 

[Uchip]

still doesn't make any sense
appreciate the effort at making a funny though

 

[Professor Beef]

It would be nice to see the first Avatar and what things might've been like for him or her. But we all know that Aang is going to be the primary past avatar, like Roku before him.

I would watch a series dedicated to Roku. That one episode wasn't enough.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Can't wait for these guys to have long hair and Korra to have short hair in the third season. The later is't probably going to happen.

 

[Mushroom021]

Watched the first two episodes and I loved them! Was so glad I wasnt disappointed, cant wait to see more!

 

[Verelios]

I would watch a series dedicated to Roku. That one episode wasn't enough.

I'm sorry, but Roku was a punk who put his own personal interest before his duty. But he had a dragon as a familiar, so...1-1=0. Yeah, fine, I'd be okay with a Roku Ova.

Though Mako was bringing it ep 2. I mean god damn, that was nice bending. Didn't really feel Korra's bending although I assume it was good. The matches can only get better from this point on right?

 

[shadyspace]

I wouldn't be surprised if they end up doing a series after Korra they'll have it be about the first Avatar.

 

[Callibretto]

great 2 episodes. man, Korra is so manly. at first I thought she just have boy-ish personality, but she's damn strong as well, I laugh when she lift Tenzin and his 3 kids with ease in episode 1. can't help thinking that if there's romance in this series, Korra will be the man in the relationship. lol

 

[JetBlackPanda]

I am I love with this series so far and I am dying for more! Why is there nothing else on TV like this!??

 

[Infinite Justice]

I don't get it

Nah

While you were trying to defend the series from the anime tropes Ignis was throwing out by separating it the creators themselves don't seem to mind too much and it was like a message saying "hey its cool Uchip stop being so angry"

can't help thinking that if there's romance in this series, Korra will be the man in the relationship. lol

I don't think this would bode well for Ignis's pairing

 

[Tuck]

I wouldn't be surprised if they end up doing a series after Korra they'll have it be about the first Avatar.

I'd dig that. I don't think them doing another time jump would be good. I would be very hesitant about an Avatar in a present day-esque world.

 

[shadyspace]

For sure. I'm still on the fence about the United Republic-era as it is.

 

[Uchip]

Nah

While you were trying to defend the series from the anime tropes by Ignis was throwing out separating it the creators themselves don't seem to mind too much and it was like a message saying "hey its cool Uchip stop being so angry"

I acknowledged the inspiration before that
its still unrelated to what I was talking about

 

[Callibretto]

she's totally the man in Korralin pairing. lol

 

[Wiseblade]

That Korra is "too good" for a relatively popular Japanese loanword?

 

[shadyspace]

Huh. I didn't realize that the Earth Kingdom and the Water Tribes were still sovereign nations.

 

[apana]

I'd dig that. I don't think them doing another time jump would be good. I would be very hesitant about an Avatar in a present day-esque world.

How do you know that technology keeps progressing forward? That being said I would prefer a story about the first Avatar as well. What were people using energy bending for before the Avatar showed up and why did the Avatar cycle need to get started?

 

[WillyFive]

Huh. I didn't realize that the Earth Kingdom and the Water Tribes were still sovereign nations.

There's nothing to hint that they wouldn't be, either in the previous show or here.

 

[Uchip]

That Korra is "too good" for a relatively popular Japanese loanword?

because i was serious about that? lmao

fans will always be crazy, like with the adventure time OT people were making the characters out to be lesbians.

 

[shadyspace]

I got a "global government" feel from Tenzin's opening monologue.

 

[Emitan]

Wha? It's the first thing.



Why do you wound me, Billy?

I can't read the Queen's English

 

[AceBandage]

I got a "global government" feel from Tenzin's opening monologue.

That's for Republic City.
It's meant to be the balance point between the nations.
Kind of a neutral ground.

 

[Jintor]

It's it's own Nation, in a sense. Probably part of a larger movement towards Nation-States divorced from notions of Bending as national identity. I'm sure some Waterbenders, Firebenders etc would want to live in Ba Sing Se; think they could take up Earth Nation citizenship? And what does it mean for non-benders to migrate from nation to nation?

 

[Psxphile]

X-Men here we goooooo

Amon is gonna shoot shit out of the giant statue of Aang and then all the world leaders will become bend--oh wait. Shit.

Amon is Avatar's Graydon Creed.

 

[Satch]

btw Asami Sato is being voiced by Princess Yue from shamalamadingdong's TLA movie

theyre crossin the streams yall

 

[Jintor]

Asami Sato seems a lot more Japanese than names usually are. It's the Fire Nation that has more Japanese-inspired culture right? From memory:

Air = Tibet, Nepal, etc
Water = Inuit
Earth = Korean, Southern China?
Fire = Imperial Japan, Northern China?

 

[CornBurrito]

I was under the impression that Mako and Bolin were the entirety of her crew. Good to hear otherwise.

What would make you think that?

 

[Qwomo]

wasn't there promotional art to that effect

edit: looking up a few posts, I guess not

 

[CornBurrito]

Why wouldn't technology march forward? Technological advancement has always led to more advancement, and generally at a faster rate.

Anyway, I'd LOVE a series about the first Avatar.

edit: @ above: Weren't nearly all of the fire nation names Chinese? Except Azula which is spanish if anything.

How about a 2 part series, first season showing how the two worlds are out of balance and the second would be the Avatar mending the worlds.

Id imagine that tech is now moving much faster than it used to with Earth benders now being able to metal bend, and those metal benders now being able to work with fire benders
