Avatar: The Legend of Korra - Book 4

Looks awesome. I am hype. It and Thundercats looks to be filling in my Cartoon Quota for a while.

Holy shit at that trailer.
I know it isn’t much to go by but the animation and locals look…beautiful.
How many eps. is this again? 13 or 26?

Sounds like it’s gonna be 26.

So I haven’t watched the trailer yet (it’s loading in 1080p right now), but since the last Avatar has to die before a new Avatar can be born, and if I’m not mistaken Korra is the daughter of Aang and Katara, that must mean when Katara gives birth to Korra, Aang dies??? Fuck, man, if that’s how the first episode opens, I’mma be crushed cuz Aang was cool and shit. That’s on some circle of life shit.

I’m pretty sure one of the other main characters (Tenzin) is the child of Aang and Katara, and is not Korra.

The show creators have mentioned about revealing the whereabouts of Zuko’s mother, but that it might not be done through the show. Could that mean a hint towards a spinoff animated movie? I can only hope.

She isn’t Aang’s daughter, but she does learn airbending from his youngest son Tenzin.

Well, if she’s the descendant of Aang, and is the new avatar, who is the last avatar before her? If it’s Aang her grandfather or whatever, that still means he has to die when she’s born right?

Cool, and seeing that it’s Nickelodeon airing it won’t be axed by CN.

Oh and I thought this was taking place like at least a hundred years in the future?
What was the order for Avatars again? Fire–>Wind–>?

Here some pics from the comic-con panel

IIRC, because Aang went into hybernation in the giant ice boulder for a long period of time, it decreased the lifespan that he would have once he became unfrozen. Which causes Aang to pass away sooner than he would have naturally. Each new avatar is a reincarnation of the avatar. So they don’t have to be blood relatives of the last one.

I like how Zuko’s son is named Mako. (probably to honor Uncle Iroh’s voice actor)

Korra :fapemoticon:

The exact specifics are a little foggy so someone inform me if this is wrong, but isn’t that each new avatar means the death of the current/soon-to-be-previous avatar? Or are there periods where there’s no avatar at all until some child is born that is the avatar? I’m a little drunk and hazy on the details.

And I didn’t notice the Mako shout out till you mentioned it.

Man that trailer got me SOOOO hype, I can’t wait for the season to start. The animations really do look awesome. The new season really does look promising; looks like the series is gonna hold true to what we’ve seen so far.

Once the current Avatar dies, the next is born into the next nation in the cycle. (Water–>Earth–>Fire–>Air…)
And iirc, someone said that Aang is to Korra as Roku is to Aang in the first 3 seasons.
As you can see by my avatar, I am very excited.

Yeah, yeah, that’s all nice and pretty and all, but do we ever find out what happened to Zula, my favorite Avatar character ever?? It would be kind cool if she squirted out some crazy offspring.

Heresa roundup of information from Comicon.

That’s…putting it disgustingly, lol.
You make an interesting point, wouldn’t be surprised if the main villain or one of them is avenging Zula.

Well, shit…I really can’t wait for this shit. This one, I will follow from day one, unlike the first series (had to backtrack after they started the next-to-last season). And female protagonists are teh shit.

Just saw the trailer last night, FUCKING TIGHT!

Can’t wait for this shit, if they cut out all the filler this time it could be the best American cartoon ever.

Cut out the fillers? The fillers were really good, imo. Even though they don’t relate to the overall story, they still allow you to get a much better sense of the characters who were really well done
