Mr. Hakujin Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 X-Men comparisons are the obvious ones. We discussed that in this thread I believe as well. How it's an interesting twist on the mutant/benders being in the position of power in the Avatarverse. Also, I think if you've got to compare Korra w/ a comic bok superhero then Spidey is a good choice. The tone of the show (action, humor, romance) coupled w/ her great powers and responsibility and how she grows into the roll while making mistakes, and even becoming a perceived public enemy at one point all mirror the Spideyverse nicely.

I agree, accept no one knows who spiderman is or where he lived, hence a different dynamic in story development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 A theatrically released, animated Legend of Korra full length feature film? IGN is reporting that it might be happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NZA Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 if it is M night, i am contractually obligated to see it in 3D with jax, and start a kickstarter for his subsequent therapy sessions it's what a good friend does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 I mean, they are talking about it as an animated feature, which is an obviously good first step. There would be no reason NOT to have the co-creators directly and heavily involved (they have said they always approached Avatar as a movie-scope project), and all the ill will from the 2010 movie would mean they would feel like they'd have to make an extra effort to win people back.

Reverend Jax Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) So, evidently Cartoon Network has a Mad Magazine branded show, in it's third season, and this preview clip of the next episode has been released. It's pretty funny, I will definitely check out the rest of it when it airs. Edited September 5, 2012 by Reverend Jax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lycaon Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Damn it, every time I see someone post here, I think that the show's second season will begin airing soon. Then, the disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metal, Lightning, Blood and... DEATH BENDING! ZOMBIES!!! Tell me that final scene between Tarrlok and Noatak wasn't pretty dark. Sorry Ly. There's no confirmation, but to be honest, I'm not expecting it for another 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panch Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 It definitely was a surprise for this franchise. Still, I'm hoping Amon survives. He was one of the scariest villains in this universe, so far. Now he'll literally be scarred and potentially more twisted than ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 Box art for the BluRay box set (the DVD set has the same art). Not as nice as the box art for any of the three Avatar box sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Yeah, that cover is a bit generic, but what of the special features? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted April 11, 2013 Author Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Ah yes. So the Bluray has commentary tracks for all 12 episodes, the DVD has commentary for select episodes. The Bluray exclusively has a feature called "Series creators' Favorite Scenes: Eight Animatics." Both the Bluray and DVD will have "The Legend of Puppetbender Present 'The Making of a Legend: The Untold Story'." If you've never seen Puppetbender, it's a pretty amusing youtube series with Avatar characters using puppets, and now they've produced official content as a DVD extra. Here's one of their youtube videos. So yeah, a bit sparse on the extra, unfortunately. Edited April 11, 2013 by Reverend Jax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Here's a description of a Book 2: Spirits scene shown to IGN. The sequence we saw found Korra battling one of these spirits, initially just seen as dark tentacles, surrounded by a purple energy, coming out of the ground on a hillside. Korra asks, “Spirit, why are you so angry? What have we done to offend you?”, only for the tentacles to violently knock her aside, as they do to anyone else who attempts to help her, including Tenzin and an adult, male Water Tribe member I didn't recognize at a glance. Then, the full octopus-like creature rises out of the ground, and begins moving down the hill, utlimately crashing through a fence into a carnival being held, as Korra pursues it. On the offense, Korra shoots the creature with fireballs and begins to get the upper hand, but she is suddenly grabbed by one of its tentacles, and smashed down into the ground. And... we cut to black, for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Yeah, it sounds like the same scene that was shown in a storyboard animatic last year at Comic-Con, around 3:33 in this video. Even in basic storyboard sketches, the dark spirit looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reverend Jax Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) First look at footage of Book 2 Looks really solid, I love the character designs of the spirits. Still no release date announced, we may have to wait until Comiccon for that announcement. EDIT: Also, A soundtrack for Book 1 of Korra will be released. fans have been asking Nickelodeon for a soundtrack for Avatar The Last Airbender for years with no success, but for Korra, the Track Team invented a new genre of music (jazz if jazz had been invented in China), so a soundtrack seems like a no-brainier.

Mr. Hakujin Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Definite Bleach vibe to the spirits. I'm interested to see where this story goes this season w/ the spirit realm. I hope they don't totally ignore everything in the "real world" this season though. And, of course, I'm hoping for more flashbacks and clues as to what happened in the time between Ang & Korra.
