Was reading a comment on Kotaku that claimed that they've been greenlit for 3 new books including book 2 which I have to say I'm pretty thankful for.
While I enjoyed some of the fan service and have great hopes for the show, it was flawed as hell for the short time they packed all of that shyt into it. Korra seems more like a fully realized Avatar than a student who should be training. I guess that could be explained away by her personality or whatever. Roku didn't even become proficient until he was well up there in age after leaving the fire nation.
Think about it though.
Usually people find out that they're the Avatar at age 16, like Roku did. Aang ended up finding out a couple of years earlier out of circumstance, and even then it took him a while to master everything.
Then you got Korra, who was already fire/earth/water bending at like four years old on some "I'm the Avatar, you gotta deal with it" shyt.
So I guess my point is, Korra is already much more experienced (at bending) than Avatars usually are at that age. She's already been bending in multiple styles for 13+ years, whereas most Avatars at her age would've just found out they were the Avatar a year ago.
They gotta address some unanswered questions from Avatar in season 2. I'm sure it has no real relevance but what the hell happened to Zuko's mom? When they ended Avatar like that I was shyt been bugging me since. I need to know
It's also confirmed that there will be a flashback to the OG Avatar.
Yeah, I meant to mention that. That's my problem with it though, it just seems shoehorned in like a lot of the other things. You could write it off as her being a bending prodigy but it just didn't feel right. I need to give the series a rewatch though because I watched it week by week last year and it's been a while. She bugged me as a character but there were a lot of things that bugged me, as I keep mentioning, so I hope they'll have time to attack it across a wider timeline like they did with the OG.
I mean the whole premise of the first season was Aang had to learn the different philosophies behind each style, that was pretty much the story (along with the spirit world ish) up until the final battle
if they tried to do the whole "she's gotta learn the elements" thing again it would just seem like a lazy ripoff of the original story
Yeah I thought of that too which made me wonder where they're going from here on out. I would love to see outside of republic city and the southern water tribe to see how the rest of the world advanced along with those places.
It was just too cramped for my liking is all. I have the usual gripes as most people though. The love triangles, not exploring the non-bender/bender thing better and an ending that seemed too neat.
When I first saw the trailer for book 1, I was undoubtedly hyped. And while I'm trying to temper my expectations this go round, I'm still pretty excited.
Hopefully we get a beach episode with Korra like they did Zuko's girls.
She's gonna date Mako so why bother? I typically hate love triangles in series because there's always a clear winner and the melodrama is usually a waste of time as it is here.Yeah, you guys can forget them dropping the shipping.
That's the whole other half of the franchise
