Wooooohoooo...just watched both episodes. Man....it was everything I wanted it to be and more. I was laughing out loud at some points. Can't wait for more
 
I feel like Korra's story would work better as a movie. It is a shorter and more focused story with one main conflict and one setting. I haven't even seen the Shyamalan movie yet so I can't say too much about it but I assume it was bad. Maybe Christopher Nolan can direct the Legend of Korra!

That's a bit of an understatement. Bending looks like dancing and is totally ridiculous. The plot and characters are mangled. Everyone important is white, except the Fire Nation. They're bad guys so they got to be Indian of all things 'cause this is Shyamalan. I don't think there will ever be appetite for another live action adaptation again.

I think Shammalammadingdong pretty much ruined any chance of another avatar movie being made
 
I would like to think that the fan response has not gone unnoticed.

Yea i really hope so (Nick seems to listen somewhat)

I actually thought Dev Patel as Zuko would be interesting at first.
 
That too.

Man I take back what I said about not liking Toph.

Slam your fingers in a book for ever saying this before.

This non-bender girl better be awesome or Gaang Ver. 2 is going to be a total wash.

I dunno. Bolin and Mako aren't giving me much hope thus far. It'll take more than Korra and another awesome girl to hit the bar!

secret twist: dance competition

WANT
 
I just started/finished watching the Last Airbender for the first time this weekend...
So good~
I also watched the first episode(s?) of this and felt a little underwhelmed. I think I should have waited for my Airbender high to wear off before dipping in.
 
i wonder if things keep going we'll have a third avatar series in a more future world and then it will be about finding harmony with the elements again.

they could call it airbender: the last avatar
 
I'd rather go bacccck to the paaaaast. Only problem is you probably wouldn't get as good a mix of bending.

I bet the Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation have some badass unification wars though.

yeah, the other one i can see them doing is TITLE: the first avatar

prequels aren't really that exciting to me though, since we know the outcome. it would probably have great characters and a fun story to follow though.
 
I am so glad that I don't have your sense of humour

For future reference, the bullet points indicate an addendum added by a different user in response to the original entry. Glad to be of service.

then say so instead of being a tool?

Ad hominem alert! Man you really took the yandere thing personally didn't ya.

just stop you will never get this

Not exactly but you get the idea.
 
I need the soundtrack
I'm afraid we will never get it, like with TLA :(

I think the very beginning of bending would be quite interesting. To see what struggles the first Avatar had to go through, back then when noone even knew who he was and the Avatar couldn't use the power and knowledge of countless generations before him.

That would be great just so the Avatar doesn't have an 'out'. I do wonder how the first one came about.

I would also like to see a serious time jump like two or three hundred years in the future where bending is for the most part pointless. This show is going to touch upon that but bending still has a purpose in Republic City. I would like one where pretty much nobody uses bending. So something even closer to modern times.

but do they make out or what

So! The weapon we know the Equalists use are shock sticks and terror tactics and judging by one of the earlier trailers super badass martial arts. I'm still wondering what the ultimate plan is though, because without some kind of spiritual superweapon or mass weaponisation, I can't see any hold Amon gets on the city lasting. He needs to bring down a complete paradigm shift in some way or another else benders will always be superior.

i can see a trilogy of the show being:

1 (avatar). bending is the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems
2 (korra). there's merit to non-bending, and benders will have to adapt in a changing world
3. benders are no longer necessary, and the remnants of an ancient society. the avatar is no longer important to keeping the world together. doing the, 'but we need to be in touch with the elements!!!' thing is really overdone though, and it would be hard to do it justice. but maybe if it's treated more like the force in star wars episode iv, it wouldn't be so bad.

although if korra is successful, i think they might do the first avatar first, if they ever do a follow-up to korra that moves the era forward, since if they were to set it further in the future, i imagine it would be to end the series.

and that's all assuming korra isn't the planned end of the series anyway.
