kuzronk March 16th, 2012 6:55 AM

It should be aired at night time because of all the teen/adult fans of The Last Airbender has

Nick March 17th, 2012 5:36 PM

One reply to this perfect thread?

I don't like this forum anymore. I don't think these people understand how wonderful this is.

Shiny Celebi March 17th, 2012 5:56 PM

OMG I want to see this show so much :) but 11 AM, seems like an odd time especially on a Saturday. How am I going to remember to watch it? Anyway its good this show finally got an airdate.

twistedpuppy March 17th, 2012 9:21 PM

Watched the pilot. It. Was. Aweeeesome! I <3 you Daddy Tenzin Can't wait to get to know the Mako and Bolin.

THE FIRST FREAKING PILOT EPISODE IS AMAZING
i was supposed to go to bed hours ago o_o;; i watched it 3 times already!

Spoiler:
Korra <3 My instant favorite character. She is a boss. She's super epic in how she could bend 3 elements at a young age! She's tough, definitely physically, but she still fights to defend others when she sees injustice. She has been sheltered and kept away near the south pole for training but she knows what's up. Props to her for beating up those thugs, haha. That was a beautifully animated fight. Korra's weakness is her "lack of restraint" so I hope that really becomes a prominent theme later. She's just too boss in the beginning. She's gotta have room for development, haha.

Katara lives! Sokka doesn't. :( I love how Katara supports Korra in her decision to go to Republic City, despite Tenzin's disapproval. Also, LOL at the writers teasing about what really happened to Zuko's mom like omfg why didn't Katara tell us!

TENZIN. Another instant favorite. His expressions make me lmao. He's very calm and serious about his job/role in Republic City. He's like, the opposite of Aang. Tenzin's kids are very silly, though. Still, Tenzin is so sweet for letting Korra stay with him in Republic City for training. ALSO, new flying bison? yip yip. :3

Toph's daughter... Not my personal favorite. Her expression of "I got my eye on you" and whatnot to Korra was hilarious ahaha. I do like how the Republic City police use metalbending. That's all Toph's legacy. ^_^

Overall story... Looks interesting. I really like the progression into a more modern world - cars and all. First episode revealed the (main?) antagonist - Amon - leader of some anti-bender group. Great set up for something cool. I'm definitely getting a feeling of this bender vs. nonbender theme.

Lol @ homeless guy and his beautiful home in the bushes in the park O__O

I can't wait for Mako's debut. <33


Looking forward to April. :)

User19sq March 17th, 2012 11:05 PM

The pilot wasn't "amazing" to me, but it certainly lived up to my expectations. It's just as promising as its preceedor was. 'm looking forward to April.

And for those of you who aren't sure if you should watch this series too, I definately recommend it. It lives up to all Avatar fans' expectations unlike M. Night's movie.

Masterge77 March 20th, 2012 4:43 AM

I'm so hyped up for this, I'm going to pull out all my Avatar DVD's (I have the complete series on DVD, really big fan) and watch the series all the way through again (even the episodes I didn't like)

I thought it was amazing. I love some of the cameos too like the statues of
Spoiler:
Toph, and Aang
. I recently watched all of Avatar: The Last Airbender this year, I couldnt wait till Korra to be release Im so happy it got leaked early so we can hope to expect a decent Sequal/spinoff. But im more hyped on seeing if Korra goes into a spirit state to talk with Aang that would be such a good cameo.

Wings Don't Cry March 22nd, 2012 7:37 PM

I saw the pilot and I am rather amazed at how quickly the world can repopulate without the Fire Nation burning everyone. Definitely into the Korra thing but I'm not too fond of Republic City, can't wait to see Korra go avatar mode and destroy it. We all know it's going to happen.

ソラ March 23rd, 2012 9:02 PM

The first 2 episode is combined at Korranation's website, its the actual premier of it online, its not leaked, its the real deal. God I cant wait till April

Spoiler for Episode 2 basically.
Spoiler:
It's true Mako has a bit of a Zuko vibe, and Bolin reminds me alot of Sokka. Tenzin..God damn ,Tenzin I love him, I love his red faced anger showing when he is pissed, its funny, Tenzin is serious but he has showed his non serious side in Ep2

I have to say this is a great sequel so far, from the trailer it'll get better. I cant wait till April now. SO HYPPPPPPPED!

Nick March 24th, 2012 6:39 AM

Rooooaaarr episode 2 was just as amazing as episode 1! I loved it when everything suddenly clicked for her in the probending match. That was certainly the highlight of the episode for me. And am I the only one sensing some Mako x Korra vibes? Eh? Ehhhh?

Yoshikko March 24th, 2012 1:03 PM

Omgggg I just started watching this today together with my friend and we LOVEDD it, both episodes!
Spoiler:
Episode 2 was even better than episode 1, hahahah it was so cOOL when she got the hang of that air movement thing in the last round, we watched that part twice!! And I love Tenzin he's amazing XD My friend actually thought Mako was related to Zuko, you know their eyecolour is the same and they have the same attitude, and he's a firebender so maybe who knows!

Clip from what I assume is episode 3.

Overlord Drakow April 14th, 2012 1:09 AM

I could not find it on any of the Nickelodeon channels today. Guess the release date is further away for the UK.

I'll just stream the episodes then but I wanted to watch on the big screen TV V_V

Cid May 6th, 2012 1:51 AM

I wish this thread had more activity.

Has anyone watched the most recent episode yet? Lots of action there, and some of the main cast show off incredible stunts. I generally love the series so far. There are many things I'm looking forward to, in fact. I only hate a few of the characters and some situations presented but it's all good.

Cherrim May 6th, 2012 8:44 PM

I like that this series seems to be getting its shipping wars out of the way early on. I never watched the original series as it was airing, but a lot of my Livejournal friends did when I was active there and I seriously thought the show was more about romance than everything else considering how vocal people were about the relationships. :P I do hope that everything that happened in the latest episode doesn't make things awkward at all going on from here. :( I kind of just like the friendship that the brothers were developing with Korra and I don't want to see that marred no matter what happens.

I like this series a lot so far though. It doesn't quiiite have the charm that I really liked when I watched Avatar earlier this year (I actually only finished it like two weeks ago) but I love Bolin and he makes up for anything that misses the mark with me. *u* He's such a cutie.

Sydian May 6th, 2012 8:55 PM

Pabu is the real cutie, Erica! Now shoo! Anyway, I really like this series. Getting up on Saturday to watch it is SO nostalgic and reminiscent of getting up to watch Avatar with my sister when I was younger and then talk about it all day. Now we spam Facebook with it, lol. It doesn't have the same charm that Avatar had, but maybe that's because I'm older now. The humor is still all there and I love it. The writing is great, in both Avatar and Korra. I'm a big fan of the 1920's industrialization in Republic City, but you can still see old clashing with new and where technology hasn't yet reached some places (Water Tribe seemed like it was in Avatar, honestly).

As for the shipping, I think the romances are a bit forced and introduced too soon. But, in comparison to Avatar, I think the situation then was more dire, so romance could afford to be put off a bit longer than it is in Korra. That's not to say the situation isn't dire in Korra, though. I'm actually more afraid of the Equalists, Chi Blockers, and Amon than I was afraid of the Fire Nation. So, it's kind of a balance for me. The situation was dire and needed more immediate reaction in Avatar imo, but the situation in Korra is much scarier to me. It keeps me on edge.

Kano Shuuya May 6th, 2012 10:35 PM

I didn't like the pacing of the newest episode, it simultaneously built and sunk my ship over the span of 25 minutes. XD I was like "OHMYGOD MAKKORRA, ohmygod makkorra.. ......ohmygod.. makorra.. ;o;" through out the episode. I love this series, regardless, and both of my favorite episodes so far have been the pro-bending ones. I love watching the matches, and the animation for the bending moves, and etc.

In a way, I'm okay with most of the romance getting out of the way for now, because when you think about it teenage romance goes all over the place, and kids hop around from one crush to another. So in that respect, it doesn't seem too rushed, I suppose. If anything, I'm thinking that from now on, whatever pairings are gonna happen will be able to happen over time, since all of the more aggravated feelings between the characters have been dealt with.

I'd like to see the plot actually pick up now, to be honest. XD I'm excited to watch Korra learn more bending skills, and see how the thing with Amon will wrap up.

The characters in Avatar were a lot younger than they are in Korra, at least it seems that way. I actually have no idea how old they are but the main characters now seem to be 16-18 whereas Aang was only 12 and Katara was 14 in Avatar? Seems more appropriate for hormones to be running high as teenagers than children. :P Also, in Korra, they aren't travelling together or anything so they aren't spending every waking moment together. The group in Avatar always seemed more like a family than peers so ships weirded me out unless they were with an outside person. But Korra isn't spending all her time with either of the guys in this and I'm also under the impression that she hasn't had aaaall that many friends her age (much less male friends) throughout her life, so I can easily see her mistaking friends for crushes and whatever. I dunno. I'm so okay with all of it in this. XD;

Sydian May 8th, 2012 1:51 PM

Yeah, I know how teenage romance is. Been there, done that. I guess I'm just tired of shippy stuff and I'm ready for the show to progress with the plot. :( I'm not into ships that much, so it's just BLAH to me. i'm so unromantic eeek </3

Golurks Were Meant to Fly May 9th, 2012 2:23 PM

I agree with the "let's get the romance out of the way" ideology. It always interested me more in the original series when they were learning bending or helping someone, while still keeping it relative and important. As much as I like LoK with all the non-filler episodes... I still want some filler. I will agree that Amon is scarier than Ozai ever was. And I have an awesome theory as to who he is.

Spoiler:
14 year old Ty-Lee! Omg, I would just die from laughter if I was right.

TwilightBlade May 12th, 2012 7:52 AM

Best episode yet! Although I knew what would likely happen in this episode, I was blown away.

Spoiler:
Amon ambushes probending arena! It's what I suspected since the final clips I've seen were Amon in the arena and Lin saving Korra via metalbending. This episode exceeded my expectations!

Lin and Tenzin were once a couple, oh my! Lin has AWESOME moments in this episode. The last 5-10 minutes blew my mind.

I get the bad feeling that Sato is allied with the Equalists. Maybe he paid the referees to overlook the Wolfbats' illegal moves too. How else does Amon get so many resources and technological toys?! /all aboard the Asami and Sato are bad guys train

Sydian May 12th, 2012 8:03 AM

lol conceal spoilers and such

Spoiler:
In a way though, I think Sato or Asami knew the Equalists were going to show up at the Championship Match and they paid the refs to make the bad calls and allow the Wolf Bats to win. When I first saw Asami, I did assume that she was with Equalists, since she's obviously not a bender herself. She probably will end up being bad though. You just know they are gonna have Mako and Korra together in the end. It's predictable lol. So Asami will have to do or be something bad to mess up Masami...that's the ship name right?

Tahno is ugly.

Cherrim May 17th, 2012 11:38 AM

Spoiler:
I dunno, I don't really get and bad vibes from Asami. :/ I can be a horrible judge of character, yeah, but I think a lot of suspicion on her just comes from the fact that she's a love rival to the fandom OTP, haha.

It definitely seems possible that her father is working with Amon, but I think it would be a lot more interesting if it's just him rather than Asami too. Or if she is, hopefully her ~love for Mako~ will set her straight and make her join the good guys? :D I do like the idea of her (or her father) paying off the refs to make sure that Korra + co. didn't end up as the winners, though. Playing both sides, maybe?

Also, does anyone else want the Benders to stop being entitled pricks and acknowledge that yeah, maybe they should let non-Benders have more say in society? No wonder they're all being pushed to extreme measures like following the Equalists. <_<

Sydian May 17th, 2012 1:14 PM

Spoiler:
I'm not mad at Asami for anything shipping related. XD I could honestly care less about that. If she's not involved though, I at least think Sato is, like you said.

I also agree about the bender thing omg. I thought I was the only one haha. There wouldn't need to be this big Equalist rally if benders weren't dicks to everyone. :/ But, like it's been said in the show, it didn't really get bad till after Aang died. So that leads me to believe benders grew some strange belief after his passing. idk.

Cherrim May 20th, 2012 3:18 PM

Spoiler:
I was riiiight. \o/ Asami was awesome in that episode. I really like her.

I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking most of the benders are being dumb about all this. I guess it makes sense that things would slowly be getting worse after Aang was gone but... still... the fact that NO ONE has given any sympathy to non-benders about all this still really bothers me. I mean, yeah, the Equalists are extremists but their beliefs obviously came out of a genuine interest to give non-benders more rights/say in society. The entire council for this huge city is made up of benders. It's silly that they run the whole city despite such an obviously large non-bending community. Everything needs an overhaul and it just seems silly that no on in the show is recognizing this.

Sydian May 20th, 2012 3:28 PM

Spoiler:
IKR. Me and Blade were all like OMG WE KNEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!!!!!!!!!

And yeah. For a second, I was about to say "like any minority group that sees injustice in our world..." but stopped myself. I think that, or it at least seems like, the majority of Republic City are non-benders. Which to my knowledge, is like an opposite of things in our world (at least in America...I can't speak for other countries because I didn't study their history in school all these years!). Normally the minority groups (African Americans, women, homosexuals, etc) are the ones to protest, speak out, and rally against their injustices. So to see a majority group go against it is very weird, but totally interesting. This is just assuming though! Cause like I said, it seems like there are more non-benders than benders in Republic City. I don't have much else to add to that, really, but for me, it's interesting to see the opposite of what I'm used to seeing. I hope it teaches us something, or at least the kids that watch it, whether they fully understand it or not. Does any of this make sense? XD

Though, since the minority benders hold that higher physical power in their bending, I guess that's what puts them ahead in society despite being lesser in numbers. I'm just talking to myself at this point... :(

Cherrim May 21st, 2012 9:10 AM

Spoiler:
No, I think you're entirely right. :/ It's the innate power of the bending community that keeps the non-benders "in their place". It would be really intimidating to stand up to a group that can burn you with a flick of their wrist, drown you if you look at them the wrong way, pull the earth from right under you, etc. Obviously not every bender in a state of power would abuse their power, but I imagine it happens often enough to get tensions rising. And since there's obviously no outlet for non-benders to make their interests known and no representative for them aside from Amon, they're going to flock to him. Especially now that the people in charge are probably looking at all non-benders with at least some degree of suspicion whether they're extremists or not.

WHY DOES NO ONE ON THE COUNCIL SEEM TO SEE THIS? :/

Livewire May 30th, 2012 9:30 AM

Ahhhh I just got into it and I love it. I think it's better than the original, tbqh. I might go rewatch the first series until the new episode.

Lord Varion May 30th, 2012 10:49 AM

I'm yet to see this on nickolodeon. :l
I'm looking forward to it muchly (trying to avoid all spoilers)

I hope this isn't just an american thing, that would suck.

The Fallen May 30th, 2012 1:21 PM

I just recently got into the series, seeing as how I adored The Last Airbrnder so much I thought I'd give it a go. So far I am pleased with what they've done with it thus far. The comedic relief still exists in The form of Bolin, which is fantastic. The artwork and animation is amazing. Needless to say the storyline, as I've already stated. Hopefully it continues on the path that it is on now and furthers itself!

mikey May 30th, 2012 3:11 PM

I love Korra so far. Really well done storyline and graphics wise. It's a huge success so far. I still love the original series more though, but Korra is still great!

-Grayscale- May 30th, 2012 4:23 PM

I've watched a lot of the episodes and they seem pretty nice. I like the new bad guys, and how the plot is developing. Personally though I miss the old group of kids, which sounds a little odd but yeah. Die hard Aang fan here~ <3

The best new thing has to be the animations. That artist really grew since the last airbender.

What I really want now is to see Korra in the avatar state.

Golurks Were Meant to Fly May 30th, 2012 4:40 PM

^^I agree with this so much.

Come on korra, AVATAR STATE, YIP YIP!

I loved that episode. :)

TwilightBlade June 2nd, 2012 7:30 AM

Lots of good stuff in this episode. You cannot do this to us!

Spoiler:

The car! They listen out for Equalists by using the police communicator installed in every car... That's like Spiderman. Yay Team Avatar!

UH OH Mako and Korra sitting in the back seat! Asami adjusts the mirror to see what they're doing in the back seat. :( Earlier at the Air Temple Island when Ikki blured out that Korra likes Mako, LOL.

Good moment when non-benders said Korra is their Avatar too. Bad moment when she can't do anything about the arrests. :(

Tenzin saying the police chief is the worst. XD Korra makes Tenzin more aggressive and Tenzin makes Korra more patient. Their interactions and co-development are awesome.

Tarlok makes me sooo mad. I get the feeling he is working against Korra. :/ He arrests her friends. Also, unless I am wrong, he wanted to shut down the pro-bending arena and come to terms with Amon. He wants Amon to win? -.-

Uh oh, he wants to manipulate Korra. ><

woahhhh fight! Fighting is not the answer. O_O

BLOOD. BENDING????


mikey June 2nd, 2012 3:18 PM

Todays episode was awesome!

Spoiler:
I freaked out when the blood bending happened. I love that. Also the whole fighting scene in the car was awesome. Asami got some driving skills. And omg, TEAM AVATAR 2!

-Grayscale- June 2nd, 2012 5:06 PM

Great episode ;o;
Spoiler:
Omg I despise Tarlock. What the hell mannn, what the hell
I seriously wonder where he's taking Korra, and how that's gunna work in the first place. Everyone will notice she's missing. Aghhh QUESTIONS

Sydian June 2nd, 2012 7:53 PM

Spoiler:
Is it bad I found the blood bending quite predictable? I mean, me and my sister used to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of certain bending, and we decided water had the most resources, because blood is a liquid, and that's pretty damn scary too. So as soon as Korra said, "where's your water now?" or whatever, I thought "...Girl you're made of it...he's gonna blood bend y-- THERE HE GOES!!!!!!!!!!" so lol :( Still scary stuff!!

Couldn't agree more. However, I think Aang was able to tap it sooner, accidently or not, due to his being a monk. Korra is more rash and emotionally driven than Aang was. She has zero connection with spirit word as well. So until she is more enlightened in some way I doubt we'll be seeing avatar state any time soon.

thegeneticway June 11th, 2012 2:26 PM

I love Legend of Korra 8D It's too amazing for words

Spoiler:
Omg. Saturday's episode. It was so filled with pwn. I loved how they had flashbacks of Aang, Sokka, and Toph. Hahahah, their new voices are so amazing!! I wish Katara and Zuko were in the flashbacks though. Woulda been nice to see how they look at not 80. And when Aang beat Yakone, they played A:TLA music, I was like O: good memories

Regardless, wow I feel so bad for Asami D: First Ikki tells her that Korra is in love with Mako, Mako seems to show it. I hope she doesn't turn against him or something.

~Ryukaa June 15th, 2012 7:26 AM

Korra has been an amazing show so far, and I'm really pumped for the season finale. It's been amazing so far, and I really hope it doesn't drop.

Spoiler:
Asami's fine, in my opinion. Jealous, sure, but not evil. xD;
...Unless they suddenly decide to do something like that. I highly doubt it, though. o3o

Also, that whole scene with the old gang grown up? I spazzed a little. xD;
Nice to see that Toph is retaining her awesome nickname for Aang. : D

Sheep June 19th, 2012 12:57 PM

Korra's been so good lately. The last three or four episodes have really been a lot better than those before them!

Spoiler:
I'm echoing those who think Mako's in the wrong for just ignoring Asami like he has been... sure, they are in the middle of a big problem, but being all over Korra as much as he is really isn't fair to her. I'd probably react the same way. So yeah, as of right now, I'm pretty annoyed at Mako and hope to see this all settled soon ;o;

but... Lin ;_;

Nomine June 22nd, 2012 6:36 PM

Spoiler:
Phew! Good thing I found this thread! I was starting to think that I was the only Korra fan here! (which, in perspective, seems very illogical) But I'm literally addicted to this show. Season finale goes on air tomorrow. I'm sad that the season went by so fast, but at least we get to see what happens! (And maybe who Amon really is.) Here's to hoping that Korra will go into the Avatar State!

Pyrax June 23rd, 2012 9:18 AM

I'm surprised Nickelodeon allowed
Spoiler:
Tarrlok's murder-suicide and Korra contemplating suicide (hence what Aang said about "When we hit our lowest point)
on a show on their network.

Spherical Ice June 23rd, 2012 9:22 AM

Spoiler:
Im so torn on this episode because I want to love it but some parts annoyed me. They could have ended on Noatok (SP?) and Tarrlok's death, instead of Deus Ex Machina'ing it with the Avatar State. It would have been so much better if they left resolving Korra's problem in Book 2, which is Spirit. It could have been a series on Korra trying to achieve spiritual divinity or something that would redeem her bending. The writers didn't know they were going to get a second season though, so I can't exactly blame them. Argh!


Anyway, it was a great finale overall.

Obrusnine June 23rd, 2012 9:28 AM

Honestly, I didn't have any problems whatsoever with this finale. That was intense although...

Spoiler:
My jaw dropped when Tarlock killed himself and Amon!


...but still was a great finale. Although it was really jarring in that it felt far more like a series finale then a season finale. Seriously, pretty much everything got tied up, and I kinda have to wonder what the heck the plot of the second season is going to be...

Spoiler:
I mean, they killed Amon and Tarlock, Korra learned Airbending and connected spiritually, Lin got her bending back... What is there to build on here?


The whole thing didn't leave me really anticipating Season 2 much, XD

For me all I have to say is this

Nah, but that was one epic season finale. Well from the interview of them they said
Spoiler:
Korra is staying a bit in Republic city, then going around the world for season 2, Idk maybe Tarlok or Amon survived but you never know, they show explosions doesnt mean they died, the creator's have their ways to make season 2 pretty epic :x

Spoiler:
BUT WHEN DID MAKO BREAK UP WITH ASAMI? THAT LITTLE TRAMP

oh yeah great finale etc

lol Sydian.

Spoiler:
He never did, he just went out on a limb with Korra first. I think because he was afraid of getting rejected and needed a backup just in case. Geez, Mako is kind of cool, but I really hate him at the same time.

Seriously, Mako wasn't the right guy for Korra from the beginning. Bolin is so much more fitting for her character it's ridiculous, just look at The Spirit of Competition, Bolin's date with her was her best moment in the entire episode...

And now we wait for season 2. However long it may be....

Spoiler:
Tarrlock went out with a bang. I doubt Amon lived after that.
