I think it looks interesting, though all the cars and things does kind of throw it off for me a bit... Republic City might be a tad over industrialized. Hmm, is it just me or does Katara look and sound like that crazy old blood bender? xD

I dunno..i didnt like the first season of anng, i dont think ill like the first season of korra, but i do think it will have a good seasons 2 and 3. There is alot in play, the organization of the masked guy, which i am assuming is the future of the ki-osh-ee warriors, and if you remember, they were taught chii blocking from ty lee 100 years ago. That could lead to a really cool uprising of anti benders vs benders with korra stuck in the middle and the entire city being taken over and out to take over the spiritual benders.
I imagine for now though we will have a bunch of filler introducing new characters like they did in the first season and we wont get to new plot for a long while, but instead have an episode here or there with plot, but for the most part have a formula of Korra meets x. x and Korra stop a criminial that is somehow tied to main villian. dont see x till season 2 or 3. Never see villian again.
I also am excited to see what roll tophs daughter will play. I mean, she is obviously going to be the steroytypical bad cop that warms up to the main character over time. But i hope they do like they did with zuko and add alot of demension with her character instead of just bland anngst (its funny cause he his angst was caused by anng <.<)
Also, im betting that the hobo that asked for the fish is somehow related to sokka <.<
lol..i dunno so much about looks, but she does sound kinda like her.

Hmm, that could be... but Sokka more than likely married the head of the Kyoshi warriors... but then again Toph's daughter wasn't all too impressed with the avatar title. So it is a possibility... I'm kinda thinking that the head of the organization might well be one of Aangs other sons, since neither of them had bending but would have known the story of their father taking away a persons bending and likely the ability to awaken bending. I'd lean to Kai over Boomi of course... and whether or not Aang could give a person bending, it's not hard to assume that Kai could have thought Aang had the ability but denied him air bending, which would create a resentment towards benders, especially his brother that could bend.
I dunno, maybe, the masked anti-bender did make his appearance at the end there. But yeah, there'll no doubt be a lot of establishing episodes of the characters. It also seems to me that the majority of this plot will take place in the Republic City. Hmm... not sure if they're having more than 2 books for this series. The overall bender vs anti-bender plot... feels kind of taken from Star Wars whose more recent book series has been Force user vs non-force user that wants to put a leash on force users.
Her metal bending police are pretty awesome.
XD That wouldn't be surprising! What happened to Sokka's kids? I dunno... they decided to live in bushes as hobos.

Anngs kids make sense too. I was mainly guessing kioshi cause the mask is similar to there face paint, as well as they being the only non benders able to single handedly fight against benders. I mean, yeah the water tribes and some of the fire/earth villages had warriors that werent benders, but they all had more benders then non benders. Just look at how the southern water tribe with only one water bender was so much more third world like then the northern water tribe full of water benders, so even back when things were war like, kioshis were the only non benders that were independent as a nation without benders. (i still dont understand avatar kioshi hough)
I dunno. It depends on how strong the anti benders get, and what all korra has to do to become spiritual. I mean, anng had to go to far off temples to first communicate with ruko, who knows were korra will have to go to communicate with anng.
yeah xD the metal benders kinda reminded me of bobba fet mixed with spider man.
xD yeah

booter-freak.deviantart.com/#/d4tmlhc for theories on the masked guy haven't watched the first episode. think i'll wait till april 14th xD tho from the previews it definitely looks like a lot has changed. i think it's because since the firebenders stopped fighting everyone they were all able to use the firebender technology and advance into the industrial age.

Actually, apparently they're airing the first two episodes early www.korranation.com/Yeah, fire nation was pretty prosperous and had a lot of advances. So did that one guy that made the air balloons in that one Air Temple. Though, in the episode, only the Republic City seemed all that advanced, the Water city still looked pretty much the same. Unless that was the southern one they were in, don't think they made that clear. If so, then the southern tribe moved up, probably because the return of water benders there from the north that promised to go down. AHAHAHA!!! Those are great!! xD! Well, the Kyoshi were the only ones we knew of at any rate... hmm. Mostly, Jet's band sort of did. Then there were those Yu-yang archers that took on Aang pretty easily. Though, I imagine the Kyoshi went back to their village at the end and so wouldn't have been in Republic City, but still could've been if Aang had them establish a group there... but they were also all women (except Sokka xD) and seemed to like their traditional attire based on Avatar Kyoshi. Hmmmm, shall be an interesting reveal. True, she does seem to have a huge, much bigger than Aang who already had a lot of that due to being an Air Bender, issue with mastery of spiritual world. So even though she still needs to learn air, she'll still need to master that. Could take a season for each like Aang with water and earth. But the writers don't seem all that interested in making this a long series. lol! That's it exactly, take Boba Fett and his awesomeness and fighting ability and remove the jetpack, but replace it with spider man webbing and athleticism. xD

lol. I love those comics. The last one the best xD the artist did a good job of keeping kora personality too
Spoiler Warnign for Izzy~ i like episode 2 xD the pro bending matches alot actully.. and from the things to come it looks like it will be a more interesting season then i thoguht. Im not really feeling anngs son though. He seems like a very bland boreing character. I am likeing kora alot better then anng though. She has a much more interesting personality.

I mean hes in the typical teacher position. But he has no interesting thing about him. Hes not mean, or controlling (well he tries to be bossy, but hes too passive to enforce rules and korras just like lolol), and all his lines are just well boreing instead of funny. it like Hey korra meditate till you can airbend umm..thats boreing im going to go do something funner No dont *korra does it anyway* oh well. Ill just ask her to meditate nicer towmorrow...

Really? I kinda dislike Korra... lol. The probending tournament thing is another legacy of Toph no doubt. xD I wonder how an airbender would do in it... from Korra starting to learn it, looks like Air Benders would have the advantage because they could more easily dodge and weave and then get the others when they tire out. Though, Korra does have some Aang in her, like her impatience in learning bending she doesn't get. And scratching herself << But overall, Korra annoys me... and I see they've already set up a shipping.
And I rather like Tenzen... lol. He's nothing like Aang. Tenzen's kids are pretty fun too xD His youngest son is more like Aang than he is.
Another interesting thing of note... so those two are brothers but one could fire bend and the other earth bend? Hmm, maybe Aang's other son Boomi ended up being a water bender.... even more reason for Kai to hate benders... or did Katarra say only Tenzen could bend?

eh it makes sense lol. I like rebel dive heads deep characters, and you like the more paitent dry humor type of characters xP Either way though, I think korra will be a much more interesting main character then anng. I mean anng was distracted by playing on an air scooter, korra is distracted by professional fighting. speaking of shipping... youtu.be/yfJ8XT1ynlghe reminds me soooooo much of sasuke after seeing this..(the audio is from ninjabridged, and its monologue of sasuke from naruto) yeah..im not sure about them having differnt bendings..wondering if maybe they arent blood brothers but just brothers ya know edit cause i forgot: Air benders would be op in pro bending. Not cause of dodging, but cause they would just shoot a gust of wind and everyone would fall over. though they might limit that. *(tangent continued in next para) in which case they would be pretty gimped to a modern style, since they cant leave certain areas in the ring, which anng would hate. i mean in all of angs fights he was all over everywhere. he never stayd in a 4x8 square dodging attacks. *tangent about limts* I mean, im really wondering why no earth bender has pulled a toph and just throw the entire stadium at someone. So clearly earth benders are limited to throwing those little disk, and water benders are limited to the water availble to them. None of the fire benders have gotten up close So i imagine they have a rule against that (it may have just been zuko and azula, but they both fought point blank where as other benders stayed back, i always assumed this was because water benders had to make big gestures to bend, where as fire benders dont) also, i think anngs problem with learning earth bending was more his problem with toph then with earth bending.

Not sure on that either, they seem like brothers in looks too, could be step-brothers though with the same dad but... *shrug* if someone said Aang's daughter water bends... but I don't recall them mentioning Aang having a daughter. And Kai sounds more like a boy name.
It's more than just distraction, it's impatience. Though she does love to fight fight fight and is rather forceful, which is why she has issues with air bending which is more going with the wind. For Aang I think his problem was in not wanting to stand firm which is part of earth bending. To me Korra seems kind of flat as a character right now, but then it's only been two episodes.
That could have just been Aang's style of air bending, we never did get to see any other air benders fight. And seeing as how all the others have adapted to this new style of arena fighting with the limits, I imagine the air benders would have as well. Yeah, only earth available was from those slots and it looks like no metal benders... so I'd guess that means no blood benders or electricity benders. And water must have a limit to getting it from the slots too because otherwise why not just wash everyone off? Hmm... too sport like I guess. I think they'd be cooler if it was just straight bending fights more like what Toph did in that earth arena.
