Legend of Korra
 
I just watched the premire of the show this morning on Nick, and I have to say...wow. The premire was just amazing! Great animation, good casting, and the main character Korra was radical! This sequel to the Avatar: The Last Airbender is doing great so far, can't wait to see what happens next. Anyone else catch it?:tsmile: It was great to see Katara again!

Redeemer 04-14-2012 03:38 PM

Really hating on you right ...... :P I was going to make a thread for this..... But anyways yeah I saw, and I think it is going to be really good. I thought the animation was good. I love the character korra, but I thought she was suppose to train with Aang's 13 year old grandson....
Spoiler:
but I thought the pro-bending thing was awesome, I also think the metal benders was pretty awesome. Also I was waiting to see what Katara was going to say what happened to Zuko's mother, but alas they teased us....:x


Can't wait for next weeks ep. I also love that I can watch Young Justice and then Avatar so awesome

DarkLightDragon 04-14-2012 06:02 PM

Yeah, I liked the original series and I can't wait for more next week.

Since next week's episode is going to show a bit more about the villain, Amon and his anti-bending group, I'm kinda thinking

Spoiler:
his stragedy is to energy-bend the bending out of benders, (kind weird-sounding, I know) like Aang did to Ozai in the Season 3 finale.

Actually you didn't beat me, I was just to damn lazy to post the new thread and I went to get some things done:P

^Also dragon that is a good guess, but I gotta say that I was dissappointed with the ending of the original series, bc I think the writers strike caused them to change the storyline and I dont like how Aang defeated the fire lord. I was expecting this epic fight, but the fight was a bit of a let down for me....

IamtheKnight 04-18-2012 09:26 PM

I am a huge fan of the original series and was excited when a new one was coming out. This show may be better than the original show, but time will tell.

TurtleTitan97 04-21-2012 11:32 AM

Just saw this moring's episode, and I have to say, Amon impressed me. 2k12 Shredder is going to have to be one heck of a baddie to beat this guy.

Peanut 04-21-2012 10:53 PM

LOL at TMNT anything every matching the quality of Last Airbender or Legend of Korra.

XERO 04-22-2012 07:09 PM

Watched the first 3 episodes at my homie's crib yesterday.

I like it better than the original so far. Mako is my current fav.

Redeemer 04-23-2012 11:56 AM

The third episode was pretty good I think this show has the potential to be better than the last series, but I dont think it will be. The second season of the Last Airbender was so amazing I dont think it can be topped.

Hey was anyone else pissed when what happened to Zuko's mom was about to be revealed and then got cut off ????? I was so pissed....

Zany Orange Dude 04-23-2012 12:15 PM

I really am enjoying this show. The animation is gorgeous, the characters are likable and interesting, and the story intriguing! The atmosphere is very well developed. I love the 1920s touch. :)

Wow. Really? The writers really do know their audience.

PAAATE 04-23-2012 02:33 PM

Love the show, and it has some serious potential to be better than A:TLA.

Amon's speech in the last ep was ****ing heavy for a kids show. Loved it.

Right? I think that's the difference in this series right from the get go. Korra opened on much more serious note than TLA did. TLA took a decent amount of episodes to really start digging into some of the "darker" areas, such as Aang finding the remains of the Southern Air Temple and coming to grips with the death of his people and Monk Gyatso.

That being said, the goofy character moments and things of that nature are the reasons I loved TLA, so I'm glad that Korra isn't taking itself completely seriously. Love Pabu.

Zany Orange Dude 04-23-2012 04:43 PM

The blend of dark tones with humor is one of my favorite parts of the show as well. My personal favorite character is Bolin. I think he is hilarious!

This is what I like about it too. When watching The Last Airbender, I saw how different the tone was compared to Legend of Korra.

Yes, from what I have seen of ATLA, it is a more light hearted show than Legend of Korra.

Like I said, from what I have seen. I have only seen a few episodes from the original. They were the early episodes, so it was probably before the show got dark. :)

If you like, I could PM you a link where you could watch all the episodes of The Last Airbender. :) Nick doesn't really have all of them on their website.

Really, I would love that!:tgrin: I was attempting to find a place last night but couldn't find one anywhere. After thirty minutes of searching I gave up. Thanks! It is much appreciated!:)

The tone isn't really different, it just took TLA longer to get to the point where Korra starts, which is understandable.

Also, if you have Netflix the entire series is on there.

Redeemer 04-23-2012 07:15 PM

Also the last airbender targeted kids as there primary viewer, but his an older audience is another reason why The Last Airbender was seems more light hearted in the beginning by season's 2 and 3 the show had a much darker tone.

I also think the actual animation is much darker, most of the first 3 eps either take place at night or a dark dank place.

TurtleTitan97 04-24-2012 08:39 PM

Found new details from IGN about the next episode "The Voice in the Night"

Spoiler:
Korra is recruited to join Councilman Tarrlok's task force which tries to rid the city of Equalists.

ThePickleweed 04-25-2012 12:34 PM

the lighting and direction on this show is second to none. i loved airbender, but this one seems to have more "atmosphere" if that makes any sense.

17thCenturySorcerer 04-25-2012 09:20 PM

i watched the premeire episode and than the second on saturday after my class. it was really awesome. i'm just surprised that even though she's an teenager she hasn't learned all of the elements, as opposed to aang who barely had any real teachers, but still learned. now if it was me who could have an element to control, i would have to chose from my chinese zodiac: "earth" tiger. or my astrological sign of cancer, linked to the "water" element. and by the way, i bet the "chi-blockers" were related or close friends to that one chick in the avatar the last airbender series. otherwise amon is quite creepy.


no comments on typing i did it fast and it doesn't capitalize things.

A new clip for "Voice In the Night":


Redeemer 04-28-2012 11:31 AM

Just watched this mornings episode, really enjoyed it
Spoiler:
I find it interesting that Korra seemed to have flashback of her past live specifically Aang, I was also wondering when she would go or if she will ever go into the Avatar State, of course people who didnt watch the last series might mistake it for PMS mode....jk :P

Watched it as well and felt the same. Look forward to the next episode! :tcool:

TurtleTitan97 04-28-2012 11:41 AM

I enjoyed the episode as well

Spoiler:
If only for a few seconds, it was great to see Toph and Aang as adults, also interesting that Korra would have a flashback like that. What Amon said to her about what he was planing to do sent chills. He's starting to become my favorite villian from Nick.


Can't wait for the next one!:tgrin:

shezcrafti 04-29-2012 09:16 AM

I've never seen ATLA, but I am a fan of Korra. I caught the first two episodes on the recommendation of one of my Twitter friends and I was hooked! The animation is gorgeous, the action is incredible, and I really like Korra as a character.

I'm wondering if watching more of Korra will make me want to go back and get into ATLA; so far I don't feel compelled. Seems they've written Korra to appeal to people like me who have never seen ATLA or don't have an interest in it.

TurtleTitan97 05-02-2012 05:48 PM

2 new clips for this week's episode, "Pro-Bending Exellence":




Peanut 05-03-2012 06:26 PM

I'm totally not digging the old-timey "previously on" segment that kicks off each episode. Still not feeling the pro-bending thing either. Love everything else about the show.

Drose18 05-03-2012 06:38 PM

Just watched the last episode so far!!!
Spoiler:
Is Aang Amono?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Nope, Aang's dead. When the Avatar dies, they're reincarnated into a new body, which in this series is Korra's. And the name is spelled Amon.

TurtleTitan97 05-06-2012 11:54 AM

Just watched the new episode online. Looking forward to the next Pro Bending match.

I did.


Spoiler:
Those Wolf-Bats got what they deserved, and while I commend Amon for taking away their bending and exposing that they cheated during the match to the audience, he certainly has a ulterior motive to this whole "equalizing" revolution from how says after Republic City, the whole world shall be equalized, kind of giving away that this whole anti-bending is just a cover-up so he take over the world. But that's just how I interpreted it.

From what they've done so far in the new series, they're certainly making it so you're able to pick it up without having to watch Last Airbender.

BUT, I would say that if you like Korra, then you would probably enjoy Last Airbender as well.
