re: Avatar: The Legend of Korra Books 3 and 4 Thread (Book 4 premieres in October)

I feel like that the more you go in the future, the less relevant the Avatar will become in terms of world imporatnace. They have kind of hinted at it with Korra.

---

I'd say kind of lay off that theme if they were to do a modern Avatar, and more make it how the Avatar thinks he really is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things and is fine with it, but then a conflict comes along that only the Avatar himself can resolve, and he's not thrilled with the prospect of it like Aang was.

For Cyberpunk, definitely go with that angle. Would really like an imposing intelligence to be an Avatar villain who looks at humanity as inferiors and simply dumb creatures who need to be eradicated. Kind of thinking a mix between Ultron and Khan. I'd also have the Avatar killed in the Avatar State during the finale, but the death of the Avatar would also ensure the survival of humanity and the spirits as a whole.

I agree with completing the cycle and with going back to Kyoshi and Roku, you already have character familarization. Roku might be a bit hard considering his storyline could be predicatble.

---

Roku wouldn't work. We've already got his backstory, due to his relationship with Sozin. Sozin was the real threat of Roku's time, and really watching that show would be sad and infuriating because of it.

And I'm not sure how good Kyoshi would be as the main character. She's too much of an emotionless hard arse to really watch full seasons based on her.

We need to do Avatars we're not familiar with, and there's lots of potential for that. Maybe go into a more Midevil version of the Avatar universe. If there's an Avatar we're familiar with to do a series on, the answer is clearly Wan, since there are tons of unanswered questions on what happened in the aftermath of Wan's battle with Vaatu, although I'd imagine it to be a much darker series, since civilization would be on the verge of collapse. All we know is that Wan died on a field of fire in the aftermath of a violent battle, to where there are places to take his story.

If this show was on any other channel than nick it would blow up. Why does nick constantly hand cuff this series down, I will never understand.

Also, recap episodes are so useless we're in season 4 with over half of it aired 22 minute recap is useless. I understand they had to make lemonade out of lemons, I just can't stand recap episodes.

I think they want to keep all the weapons bending and spirit based. Even Varick ' s machines only use the elements.

Recap episode was lame.

Granted, the writers are doing nothing but encouraging it recently. Korra only writing to Asami. Korra blushing when she sees her again. Asami holding Korra's hand as they watch the sun set together:



There are clear lesbian vibes going on.

So this idea has been floating around in my head

Netflix buys the rights from Nick
Years after the discovery of the power of the Spirit Super Weapon the Earth Kingdom is put on sanctions by Republic City. With the threat of another army creating a super weapon, the Fire Nation starts to stockpile on weapons forcing the Earth Kingdom to compete.

Republic City condemns both the Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom for creating more super weapons, but both ignore the warning. The Earth Kingdom takes seize of the Northern Water Tribe as to gain ground if the Fire Nation were to attack.

Likewise the Fire Nation takes over the Southern Water Tribe in fear of an Earth Kingdom attack. Now Republic City has become obsolete and the Avatar must keep these two super nations from going into direct war with each other.

So it's the Cold War Avatar style

It's only available online now. Nick doesn't show it anymore.

OML can explain the reasons for you better than I could. They may be stated earlier in this thread.

Nickelodeon has announced the return of The Legend of Korra to television, via the show’s Facebook page. Nick posted a spot for the television premiere of Book Four: Balance, set to air on Nicktoons.

This is a surprising move from Nickelodeon, who pulled the series from the air during Book Three: Change, and has been releasing episodes via Nick.com and the Nick app ever since. The network also slashed the series’ budget, forcing showrunners to choose between firing staff or reducing one Book Four episode to a clip show. The most recent episode to be released online show that the chose the latter.

The television airings will begin with Book Four premiere. Following comments voicing concerns about scheduling, Nick updated the post to say that new episodes will continue to be uploading to the Nick app on Fridays.

The Legend of Korra Book Four: Balance will make its television premiere at 9 p.m. ET.
