Avatar: Legend of Korra Options

[Sen]

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.

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

[Abby]

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.

I miss Uncle Iroh!

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!)

[Abby]

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).

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

[Kaylin]

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

[Abby]

I know 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.

[Kaylin]

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.

[Doomgiver]

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

How long were ATLA's episodes again?

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

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. =(

[P-girl]

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.

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.

[Kaylin]

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!

[P-girl]

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.
