Magix Club's Forum _ TV _ Avatar: Legend of Korra

Posted by: P-girl Jul 27 2011, 9:03 AM

So, yeah. First off, I have to admit, while admiring the show for what it did, I never really got into the first Avatar series. I dunno, it just didn't push my 'Squee!' buttons, so it's kinda in 'Dark Knight' territory: I know it's good, I admire what it's done for a medium I love, but I'm not a fan.

However, that's about to change:

This one DOES hit a lot of my 'Squee!' buttons.
First off, Korra herself:
OMG! She has MUSCLE! And here I taught 'Buxom' and 'Cutesy' would be the standard forms for animated females. It's good to see they're breaking that mold and made her pretty in a non-conventional way.
The setting: Now I know some people claim this was 'Too modern'.
Not really. Have you ever studied the cultural shift in, say, Japan? Things actually changed this fast at certain periods in Real Life. With the help of supernatural forces like bending and the Steampunk science already shown in the previous series? I can totally see this happening.
That BEAR. I want it.

Whole thing. I want it.
Loved the other show, I'm going to love this

Posted by: angel123 Jul 27 2011, 2:57 PM

i have to agree, i just wonder if this is after aang and katara or before because the girl looks alot like katara... and it seems the brother's personality might be in it aswell.

Posted by: P-girl Jul 27 2011, 4:08 PM

This takes place seventy years after the first series. Korra is the new Avatar after Aang died. There's some next gen. (Aang and Katara have a kid named Tenzin and Toph's Daughter is in it as well) but handled pretty well (Tenzin's actually quite old and already has three kids with a fourth on the way and Toph's daughter is the leader of a police group specialised in Metalbending)

Posted by: wkw427 Jul 27 2011, 5:39 PM

Avatars always skip a generation, unless they happen to die early.

mmmm this is going to be GOOD.

Posted by: P-girl Jul 27 2011, 5:53 PM

No they're not. Once the Avatar dies, BAM, new Avatar's born. The reason Aang's was all messed up was because of the iceberg thing.

Posted by: angel123 Jul 27 2011, 6:03 PM

what she meant P. was that under a normal situation most people live to see their grand children. thus skip a generation. but the series does indeed look good. do you know when it will be coming out?

Posted by: P-girl Jul 27 2011, 6:06 PM

Wasn't wkw a HE?

Oh, right. Sorry, taught you meant something else.

Posted by: angel123 Jul 27 2011, 6:08 PM

im not sure lol. i never really payed much attention to any one but the RP'ers.


whats a bishie!

But its ok

When is this starting? My avatar fix needs to be filled, I can only keep watching the three season of the last airbender for a certain amount of time before getting tired of them. Anyways this looks exciting!

I don't think there's a date yet, I hope Nickelodeon will air the series soon though, the trailer was amazing. x3

Posted by: Abby Jan 30 2012, 12:44 AM

Maybe Summertime? I hope it's then so I actually have time to keep up with it.

Posted by: Kaylin Mar 25 2012, 1:24 AM

I was a bit skeptical about the show at first but I just watched it on korranation.com and it was freaking amazing! I love it so much. I can't wait for more episodes.

Posted by: dreamywinxgirl94 Apr 15 2012, 12:48 AM

Yep, it's out already. It released today at 11AM EST/PT and 10AM for C. On Nick 2 was 2PM EST (not sure about PT). So new episodes every Saturdays for USA Fans. ^_^ One of my friends watched it. =)

Posted by: Abby Apr 16 2012, 2:29 AM

I watched it finally and thought it was pretty cool. I liked how they made it a bit more modern like in the early to mid 20th century and the connections with all of the characters from the last airbender. I still think I will like the original series the best, but it will be cool to keep up with this one.

My opinion as well. =)
I had to get used to Korra's attitude. So different from Aang's. laugh.gif

Me too, and I'm still getting used to it. I don't really like how over-confident she is, but then again it is a nice change from the mostly passive Aang.

And apparently the voice actor for Mako is also Helia's VA in the nick version (I think)

Yeah, her attitude is bound to get her in lots of future trouble. I hope she'll grow up a bit because those situations can get boring/predictable. =)

This is cool! I haven't heard Helia's new voice yet and it's great! O.O

Posted by: Abby May 7 2012, 1:36 AM

I think the show is getting really good now, I can't wait to see how the whole Mako/Korra relationship is played out in the long run as well as linking back to the last airbender.

I want one of Zuko's relatives to be in the show already! He's my favorite from the last airbender series.

Posted by: Zhanneel May 7 2012, 4:05 AM

I miss Uncle Iroh!

[/nostalgic memories]

Okay, I've yet to actually watch an episode of this series, but I liked the first one very much and the whole element bending universe, so I'm am pretty pumped for this next series. More modern, a hot-headed main character, 70 years into the future -- I think I can take all of those changes on and still enjoy this a lot. I'm a little behind on tv watching (still going through the second half of Season 4 Winx!) but I want to start Korra very soon. From everyone's responses it sounds great. And as always with the first series, I love the animation.

Cool find on the voice acting part Abby. I really like finding out when my favorite voice actors reoccur in other cartoons I like. (i.e. Brock from Pokemon and Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh!, same voice acting, whoo hoo!)

Posted by: Abby May 8 2012, 12:31 AM

Yeah I found it on my tumblr newsfeed randomly and was like "whoa, how did a winx thing end up here?" since I don't really follow any winx tumblr's and realized its because my friend reblogged it from a legend of korra one!

I really like the whole modernization thing since I'm really into history (it is my major) and one of my favorite time periods is the twentieth century and the show has that kind of 1920s feel to it.

And don't feel alone in being behind on tv shows, I have only seen 1 episode of season 4 of winx and have no clue when I will catch up on the rest, plus I'm watching a bunch of shows on Netflix that I am just discovering the greatness of now (like Parks and Recreation for example).

Posted by: Sen Jun 15 2012, 5:51 PM

The finale is next week. I didn't know there would be so few episodes. =((

Posted by: Kaylin Jun 15 2012, 11:30 PM

I know, it's really upsetting. I want more! ):

Posted by: Abby Jun 16 2012, 1:49 AM

I know icon_sad.gif I feel like there is so much that hasn't been revealed in the show yet. Like how Amon can take away bending at all or how blood bending is possible without a full moon.

Oh and I love your avatar and signature kaylin!

Maybe this will be explain in the final episodes (or season 2).
I completely agree with you, everything went so fast and there are so many questions. wacko.gif

Posted by: Kaylin Jun 17 2012, 5:13 AM

I agree. I wish they would've moved slower, but given that they only have 30 minutes to build the story each week, plus the fact that the seasons are so short, they don't have enough time to thoroughly develop everything. But they're great with their storieslines and I'm sure our questions will be answers. (PS: Thanks, Abby. ^^)

Did you guys see the episode from this morning? I usually just watch it streaming online because I don't have cable at my house.

Posted by: Doomgiver Jun 17 2012, 5:40 PM

I think its a good pass, but I hope there will be a second season or something

How long were ATLA's episodes again? unsure.gif

I've read that there will be a comic series about LoK to answer more questions. icon_biggrin.gif

I watched it today (streaming as well, I don't live in the US). It was wow. O_O I do feel bad for Asami though, Mako should have reacted in another way. =(

Posted by: P-girl Jun 18 2012, 12:17 PM

Awesome show. Would've dropped the shipping, myself. Even if it was just for how most of the internet seems to be focussed on it.

The internet: 'Like, Omigod, this whole love triangle thing is terrible and ruins the show'
Me: *Too busy fawning over Korra, Tenzin and Lin being awesome to care/notice* Did she just take down an AIRSHIP?! Wooh! That's the Bei Fong spirit!

But then again, I'm one of those rare people that likes to focus on the POSITIVE.

Posted by: Abby Jun 19 2012, 12:20 AM

I also kind of feel bad for Asami, but I agree with p-girl I want more explanations about the powers and the action rather than the shipping. All that is on my tumblr news feed from my one friend who loves lok and atla is shipping stuff, it drives me crazy.

Posted by: Kaylin Jun 19 2012, 5:08 AM

Yeah, the way people go so crazy over shipping is kind of annoying. I see people fighting over which ship is best all over Tumblr and it gets old after a while.

The episodes of Avatar were thirty minutes as well, but they had more episodes per season to build the story on. (Avatar had 20 per season, whereas Korra only has 12.)

I feel bad for Asami, as well, and I am tired of Mako leading both her and Korra on, and blaming everything that goes wrong on other people. I love the idea of Mako and Korra being together, but it's really annoying that he's hurting so many people by doing what he's been doing.

I can't wait for next week, to see what happens to everyone (especially Lin) and to see what Iroh's character is like!

Posted by: P-girl Jun 19 2012, 6:58 AM

The whole Mako/Korra/Asami-thing reminds me of Sky/Bloom/Diaspro. And even tough I still think the 4Kids dub made Diaspro too nice, let's face it, Sky was the one to blame here, too.

You know, I never thought of it that way... But you're right, the love triangles are very similar! At least Mako isn't engaged... But still. He's been kind of a jerk lately and I wish we could focus on character development more than the triangle. But I trust the creators, and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us in future episodes!

I'm just glad they didn't make Asami totally unlikeable. He calling out Mako was awesome and mature.

I agree! She handles things really well. I really hope she'll break things off with Mako, because he honestly doesn't deserve to be in a relationship with her. I mean, she lost both her parents and is now homeless, plus she'd being led on by some guy she really trusted.

Posted by: Abby Jun 22 2012, 4:40 PM

I'm just afraid that if she does break up with him, she will not want to stay with him, his brother and Korra and will go to her dad and join the equalists. Hopefully she doesn't though, because I like her so far because of her maturity in that situation or for at least not totally freaking out about it. We'll see tomorrow though!!

Posted by: lalande Jun 23 2012, 4:12 PM

Best episode of legend of Korra!!! I can't wait for book/season 2

Posted by: Abby Jun 23 2012, 5:22 PM

I thought it was really good! I have a feeling Amon isn't really gone though...

Posted by: Kaylin Jun 24 2012, 12:32 AM

And she didn't leave them! I had my doubts about her but Asami just has a beautiful heart. <3

That episode was amazing, my goodness! I knew she would find a way to restore bending! And I had a hunch that Amon was a waterbender, but I wouldn't have ever thought he was Tarrlok's brother! Then near the end Amon shed a tear right before he died... I actually felt pity for him. ); But I'm so happy we got to see Aang, and the avatar state- and of course, Makorra!

okay i'm done.

I also knew her bending wouldn't be gone because shes the avatar! You can't take the avatars bending that easily!
I knew the avatar state would help restore her bending too!

Posted by: Abby Jun 24 2012, 1:26 PM

Yeah I always figured that everyone's bending wasn't fully gone and it could be brought back somehow. I hope there is another season of it!

You're right! Asami is a really good person, she knows the Equalists aren't good. =D

Me too! I've always thought Amon was a bender, it would have been weird if he weren't.
About Makorra... I do hope Mako broke up with Asami before he told Korra. T_T

Posted by: P-girl Jun 24 2012, 3:57 PM

Geez, what's with me and clinging on to minor characters?

'Uncle Bumi's here!'

Insta-love. But then again, I love every Avatar character that's over fourty. (Iroh, Bumi the 1st. Tenzin, Lin....Bumi the 2nd....)

Posted by: Kaylin Jun 24 2012, 11:39 PM

I love all the adults in the show, too! Except Yakone. He was a psycho. I was really confused yesterday; when Aang took his bending, shouldn't he have been thrown in jail? Instead he had to raise Amon and Tarrlok to hate the Avatar. -.-

There will be a second season! I hope it comes out soon because I cannot wait.

Posted by: Abby Jun 25 2012, 2:49 AM

I freaked out when their first showed Iroh, clearly a relative of Zuko's. Zuko was my favorite character from the original and I've been waiting all season to see someone related to him, or just to hear the story of Zuko's mom like Katara began saying in the first episode but then was interrupted.

Zuko isn't my favorite character ever, but I do like him a lot. Iroh seems like a great man. I was so excited to have him in the series! And I would really love to know what happened to Zuko's mom. I'm sure we'll find out sooner or later, though.

Posted by: Abby Jun 27 2012, 12:31 AM

I'm hoping we do eventually, that was my biggest pet peeve about the last episode of Last Airbender.

Posted by: terriordx32 Jul 3 2012, 10:23 PM

I was really surprised at how good this was, i am sad that they are only doing 26 episodes.

Posted by: Abby Jul 4 2012, 12:03 AM

I just have no idea what the next season will be about at all since the last airbender was kind of one big story plot (trying to defeat the fire lord) over 3 seasons but to me it seems like the wrapped up a lot of stuff in the finale. Of course I can see where they could say somethings aren't finished but I'm just really curious now!

I have no idea what the next season will be either, but I'm sure it'll be great. The only thing I've heard is that the new Team Avatar would be traveling to other parts of the world.

Posted by: P-girl Jul 5 2012, 8:46 AM

I've had this idea in my mind....
This season was all about an enemy wanting to remove bending, right?
What about.... artificial benders? People that got bending abilities by experimentation or something?
Or would that be a bit too Sci-Fi-ish?

Posted by: Abby Jul 5 2012, 5:37 PM

I've always wondered why people couldn't learn bending since actual benders have to learn the skill.

Posted by: P-girl Jul 5 2012, 5:46 PM

It seems to be a combination of skill and genetics. Kinda like Bloom knowing magic, but still needing Alfea to hone her skills.

You know, I think that'd be really interesting to see. I certainly wouldn't object to it.

Posted by: Abby Jul 6 2012, 4:10 AM

I can see how genetics are important. I just think about how metal bending was a learned skill (but that was still by a person who could already earth bend) so idk, I think it would be nice to explain the process more.

Mhm. I'd assume that bending has to be passed down. Metal bending is possible for any earthbender, since metal is a part of earth; just as bloodbending is possible for waterbenders and lightningbending is possible for firebenders.

I don't see the problem with that. Metalbending, lightningbending and so-forth are just more advanced stages of the specific element.

Posted by: Abby Jul 6 2012, 2:33 PM

There isn't really a problem, the whole point is that it is invented so why couldn't non benders find a way to invent some sort of bending?

Posted by: P-girl Jul 6 2012, 6:37 PM

...
I don't quite get what you mean.
Invented or not, it's still bending, something you're born with. When bending Metal, you're still technically bending Earth. (The impurities of the earth of which it's made of, remember?)

Posted by: Abby Jul 8 2012, 4:13 PM

I guess I have just always viewed it as an acquired skill even with the genetics. Just because you have the technical ability to bend doesn't mean you can just start doing it.

Posted by: P-girl Jul 8 2012, 5:36 PM

But non-benders can't just start bending, that's my point. If you're not born with it, you can't do it no matter how much you train. Unless there's some sort of intervention.

Posted by: Abby Jul 8 2012, 6:41 PM

That's what I've always been hoping for some sort of intervention or revelation about how to learn to bend if you aren't originally a bender.

And we're gonna meet Korra's family! Like, she has an uncle, who has twins....and Azula's voice actress will be back as a dark spirit and.... and.... Oh this is going to be great!

I especially want to finally figure out the story of his mother. Hopefully they find a way to fit it in somehow in the series.

Posted by: Kaylin Aug 3 2012, 3:40 AM

I'm sure they well. As they revealed, there will be a lot of flashbacks coming in future episodes...

Posted by: Abby Aug 4 2012, 1:01 AM

Yes! I love the flashback episodes!

Oh I can't wait to hear if the secret's been revealed. ^^

LoK is now airing in Dutch... many many viewers don't like Korra's Dutch voice. =(

Today on campus I saw someone wearing a "Korra 2012" shirt with the Obama logo under it, I thought everyone here would appreciate this lol. I chuckled on the inside when I saw it.

i freaking love avatar
i love it even more than i love winxclub laugh.gif

I have to say I was very skeptical coming into this new series with it being in the future, more industrial, older characters, and on. But... I have to say that even through the love triangle hijinks and the rash nature of the new Avatar, I do actually enjoy the new season very much. It's just so awesome to see more bending action that I can weather the other nagging things that might try to bother me. I hope they leave Republic City in the next season. I'm ready for some worldly traveling like in the original series.

Posted by: Abby Nov 10 2012, 4:39 PM

I would love to see other areas of the world now in the future, to see if they are all more modern or not. I feel like that is what is probably going to happen.

It is Relly a good show I Tried to Watch It Everry Saturday at 11am PST

Posted by: Fortress Guy Dec 5 2012, 2:35 AM

The Fortress put up a take on Korra. http://fortresstakes.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/the-legend-of-korra-2012-season-1-12-episodes/.

We were disappointed with the show overall, though it had its moments. Many of them in the tournament. We found the so-called love interaction horrid.

Cannot they do better with such a good franchise? If you check it out, be sure to read the epic comment left by MC's very own Zhanneel.


Posted by: P-girl Dec 5 2012, 8:35 AM

Can I say something real quick?
Like or dislike the show, most of us don't like the romance (Me neither.) but....
I think the fandom brought that one upon itself.
I mean, I'm not all that active, but whenever I heard something about the Avatar fandom it was Kataang this, Zutara that (By the spirits, was it Zutara that.). Can you really blame the producers for trying to 'Cash in' on that, so to speak? I know not the entire fandom was that, heck, it's probably not even the majority. But it was the most vocal part.

Posted by: Kendall112 Dec 5 2012, 10:16 PM

i can't get into the Avatar series. If you were to ask me what I don't like about it, I wouldn't be able to tell you anything. I guess even in watching a chunk of it the overall plot, setting, characters, ect. never appealed to me.

Posted by: MusaCake Dec 5 2012, 11:12 PM

Avatar (first show, not sequel) didn't appeal to me before. I thought it was boring. My sister loves it really. Well... this was when I was 6 or 7 and I said "I don't like it! I wanna watch Spongebob!" (To this day... I still like Spongebob icon_razz.gif ) Now that Korra came, I like how the main is a girl and she's as strong and fearless as any other guy in the series. So... basically I like it now ;D

Posted by: sapphire_witch Dec 6 2012, 6:32 AM

I loved this series! Both the Airbender and Korra! Even me and my colleague waited anticipate for the series (Korra) to came out. When it came out, LOL will blabbering about it.

We even argue who could be this Amon is? Alot speculate, it was Aang Dark side (theory related to the time where Azula attacked by with lightning). I thought at first it had to be Azula since she wanted revenge. Some even speculate it to Aang second son, Bumi who was the only child who didn't obtain any bending abilities like his sibling. Creating this angry sibling rivarly thinking his Mum and Dad loved them more them him.

Who knew turn to be some random guy (with an interesting back story)? Yeah was disappointed but Amon but we (me and my colleague) didn't fail to disappoint us.

We also argue about how long this series would run. Like for Aang 4 episode which goes around the element of Air, Fire, Earth and Water. So what next for Korra?

As i suspected RIGHT, they (Nickelodeon) said Korra season 2 will be more concentrating on the Spiritual Realm which could related too focusing on Korra Avatar state. It also stated that she will be meeting old and new friends.

New Friends as in like her family member in the South/North pole. Old friends, as we all know the original the original cast of the Aang Airbender time.

Can't wait to see it!

As for season 3 and so on, I'm not surprise if the bring Amon back later since he manage to escape in the end of the series.

Yeah, I heard it too. But they said there will be another comic coming up after Promised part 3 or 2. I can't remember the title but they said it will be focusing about Zuko and Aang looking for Zuko Mom.

Same here. I guess I don't mind LoK so much because I never really cared for the original series. I'm just not interested in fantasy/historical settings. I'm into sci-fi more.

Posted by: Di Zio Dec 7 2012, 12:45 PM

i dont care what you guys say
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVEEEEE AVATAR
way more than i love winx , thats for sure x]

The trailer for spirits premiered at Comic-Con yesterday, so click http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ftLm52V1y0 for Trailer!

*SPOILER BELOW*

I personally thought they did a bad job or teasing fans, the trailer was pretty boring and there was nothing special about it. I think no audio had to do mostly with that. I did like how interesting it was though. Tarlock is back so I wonder how everyone will react to that. I'm also glad there is more avatar state though! It looks exciting and there is going to be more action in Book 2!

Posted by: Abby Jul 28 2013, 3:19 PM

I think they just want to keep as much of the plot under wraps as possible. I just want to know when it will be for sure returning, I'm okay with waiting to see it for the surprise.

Yeah me too, It is coming out on Nick in September 2013. They actually showed the first episode of Book 2 at Comic-Con with the trailer. They have plots from episode 1 all over the internet. I would post a link but I myself don't really want to know but I'm sure you can find one.
Here is the Official Promotional Poster for Book 2

Posted by: Abby Aug 2 2013, 2:53 AM

Looks so cool!!!

It's been so long since book one ended!

I. Can't. Wait. For. Book. Two!!!

The Season Finale was on Nick Yesterday, I'm not sure if it was a glitch or what but it was there for anyone who might want to go watch it. http://www.nick.com/videos/playlist/play/legend-of-korra-book-2-125-126-playlist.html Here is the link! I won't discuss it for anyone who hasn't seen it but let's just say it was truly one of the best season finales and episodes in general for the whole Avatar brand. This season was really really good and the writers did an amazing job

Yes they are! May be it's blocked for other countries other than US.

While I admit I gave up on Korra pretty fast.... (I wanted to smack Mako every time he was on screen.) I watched the entire last Season and I loved it. Mostly because of Prince Wu, who became my favorite character of the entire show almost instantly. It was really awesome to watch him grow up and mature.

Posted by: wkw427 May 31 2015, 8:54 PM

Korra.. I loved the show. Brilliantly written (for the most part)... the only thing I think of that was 'meh' was the end of the last season. The giant mecha was a bit.. over the top and not believable.
