TV Trailer: The Legend of Korra

More The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra Videos

I am really excited for this but I really miss the original show.  I hope they do something more with the original characters eventually.  No idea when Korra will hit the air but I hope it is soon.

New Avatar Series Coming!!

And not based on that stupid James Cameron movie either.

I'm talking about the TRUE Avatar series.

Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, original creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender have returned to the wonderful world they created in 2005 with a new series, Avatar: The Legend of Korra (working title).  Here are some details direct from the press release including a quote from Brown Johnson, President, Animation, Nickelodeon and MTVN Kids and Family Group:


"Mike and Bryan have imagined a compelling new story inspired by the Airbender mythology that they so brilliantly crafted when the TV series began," Johnson said.  "This new avatar is not only a girl, but also hot-headed, independent and ready to take on the world."

The Legend of Korra takes place 70 years after the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender and follows the adventures of the Avatar after Aang – a passionate, rebellious, and fearless teenaged girl from the Southern Water Tribe named Korra.  With three of the four elements under her belt (Earth, Water, and Fire), Korra seeks to master the final element, Air.  Her quest leads her to the epicenter of the modern "Avatar" world, Republic City – a metropolis that is fueled by steampunk technology.  It is a virtual melting pot where benders and non-benders from all nations live and thrive.  However, Korra discovers that Republic City is plagued by crime as well as a growing anti-bending revolution that threatens to rip it apart.   Under the tutelage of Aang's son, Tenzin, Korra begins her airbending training while dealing with the dangers at large.


While, I'd love to see more of the original series, this one certainly has potential to be just as great. The steampunk city is really intruiging. 

2011 seems so far...

Movie Trailer: The Last Airbender

M. Night Shyamalan brings us his big screen adaptation of the popular Nickelodeon cartoon series Avatar: The Last Airbender next Summer and here is the first teaser for the film. I hope this will be the movie that reverses his apparent downward spiral becuase I really like his stuff (granted I haven't seen the last two yet). It is a pretty effective teaser. I've personally never seen the cartoon before, although I have heard it's pretty good.

I'll keep my fingers crossed on this one.
