CorgiShinobi Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) I get the feeling Nick didn't realize buying 14 episodes for a second season wasn't enough, but at the same time... FOUR seasons?!!?!?! I mean, when a second season was decided, that was 2010 and I wouldn't doubt that in two years the dozen of other shows featured on Nick are not doing so hot. In comes Korra with a new episode garnering 3.5 million viewers on a single day, and said episode entering the Top 10 on iTunes. I don't fault the original mini-series format, but given how Amon was going to be the only villain in Legend of Korra, we already got the ultimate villain as far as I can see. Just look at the antagonist progression in The Last Airbender. Whiny Zuko, then Admiral Zhao, Princess Azula, Azula's "Elite" Group, Combustion Man, having Dai Li Agents siding with Azula, and finally Fire Lord Ozai. The Equalists were well-tuned and lead by an effective, intelligent, immensely powerful man who was rarely set back.

TheMightyEthan Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Let's not doomsay until we know what the future seasons are about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I imagine that season 2 will either have a reset button of some kind to rein in Korra's power or make it so that she needs to train in order to control it properly, sort of like how Aang could firebend since season 1 but he didn't because he couldn't do it without hurting bystanders.

TheMightyEthan Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Season 2 could be about her developing spiritually and learning to airbend. She made a few puffs of air but she hasn't exactly mastered it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Jack Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Plus the spirit world in itself, which she still hasn't been to. If you think about it, there's still plenty of opportunities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 I'm not necessarily "doomsday" about this because I'm more so excited, but the thing I do fear most is that any subsequent antagonist will not live up to the magnitude of Amon. Unless we get some massive Spirit World madness going on, because Amon was still a man after all. The glimpse we saw of spirits and the Spirit World, that's another level.

Waldorf and Statler Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Honestly. I would be ok with a bad guy from the spirit world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Unless they pull something out of their ass and have like the Anti-vatar that can bend anti-fire, anti-air, and anti-earth what are they supposed to do? So... something like Dragonball GT's final arc happens. The Avatar and having an Avatar has one draw back. Each successive Avatar counts down to the birth of an ancient being(s) who's job is to cleanse the world to start anew. Obviously Korra is the last one and must stop it from happening since people like living. The baddie is revealed to be actually four baddies combined. You have the usual four elements split into the four sub-baddies but when they combine you'll have the spirit bending final boss baddie. The climax will be like the ending and reasoning of why Simon fights in Tengen Toppan Gurren Lagan. I won't say more to avoid spoilers for TTGL. Dragonball GT can suck it. SO yeah, epicness incoming.

CorgiShinobi Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Tenzin: [to Korra] Your bending is the bending that will pierce the heavens! Anywho, I liked Studio Mir today on Facebook. Considering Legend of Korra is their bread n' butter now, there's a lot of stuff on it (though there was a Boondocks Season 4 announcement). Such things include...

CorgiShinobi Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Boondocks and Korra are made by the same studio? Yep, just like (as I recall) The Simpsons and SpongeBob Squarepants having the same South Korean animation studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 First off, I'm envious of anyone who made it to Comic Con and grabbed themselves one of these. Next, Spirit World a la Legend of Korra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCP Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Just finished Avatar: The Last Airbender earlier tonight. Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome! I wasn't crazy about it at first, but part way through the first season it got really good (or maybe it just 'clicked' with me). Anyways, so I just finished the first Korra episode. I liked it, but I'm spending the entire time thinking "how did Aang die? What about his friends? Why are there more sky bisons?". Also, Republic City looks A LOT like Vancouver.

Aang died of natural causes. He died younger than most avatars because all that time he spent frozen in ice while in the avatar state shortened his lifespan.

Saturnine Tenshi Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I've never been a big Avatar fan, but man, this was just too short for me. That and the fleet captain what's-his-face sounds like he's eight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturnine Tenshi Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 I just scrolled up and realized I already said the eight-year-old comment. Sorry about that. >.> They got the same voice actor to do him as they did Zuko though, so that's probably it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
