Amph ATLA and The Legend of Korra (ATLA live action remake coming Feb 2024)

Not exactly. Byran Konietzko's twitter name is Bryan Konietzko, and it has one tweet from 2010. If you look up that Bryke on Twitter, some guy from Philippines comes up. Plus, Asami's name is misspelled.

Maybe they're not confirming it just yet because they like to screw around with expectations.

 

I think we've been pretty chill about Korrasami in here; we're too busy dealing with whatever wocky is.

 

I really look forward to revisiting the series in the not to distant future from the beginning as I hope it comes to Netflix streaming, or there is a sale on the blu-ray box sets (or maybe a Book 1-4 special edition collection is created/released).

My current thoughts:

I loved the first season probably because it felt like a continuation of "Avatar: The Last Airbender". After all, in Aang's adventure we did get all the elements except Air, so it was really great to see Korra learning to master that element and grow as a person. I know there was complaints about "the ghost in the machine" finale, but I didn't mind it and I felt that there was something spiritual going on that we, the audience, did not yet understand.

Therefore, it makes sense to me that the logical next step, after the avatar is a master all four elements, would be a spiritual journey. I remember little teases of the spirit world during A:TLA and I have a craving for more of that. It was really awesome seeing Wan and getting an understanding from the very beginning, but then all that interesting potential storyline was torn away never to return. I remember being very confused at the end of the second season, but still being interested on what changed in the world.

Four new anagonists are introduced and random people seem to gain the power to bend, but only air. Why only air? I don't remember it ever being discussed. There is an existence of a group, opposite of the White Lotus, called the Red Lotus. What was their plan? I'm not really sure. Are there still members of their group in the universe? ::shrug.:: It feels like we got more questions than answers in the third season, and the Avatar, who doesn't really know what to do with her life, is almost killed. It definitely felt like things were way out of balance.

So, what will our avatar do to bring the world back into balance? Nothing. Not for a while it seems. She's still messed up after 2 years, I think. There was a random soldier who took it upon herself to fix what was broken, and became power hungry in the process. Where the Fire nation took over after avatar Aang disappeared, it felt like the beginnings of that, but instead with the Earth nation, and I could appreciate that logic. At the end of the day, I guess it's ironic or maybe fitting that Korra destroyed the city that Aang built.

 

Sadly i doubt it will get to netflix.

 

Bryke just confirmed that Korrasami is canon.

 

And Michael DiMartino has confirmed it as well:

 

I'm gonna lower the tone.

 

I think it was great that they didn't have them kiss. Would have ruined it. Everyone knows you only take it 90% of the way.

Well I'll be. They did it. They actually did it.

 

Given the (now not) subtext from the previous two seasons, that final scene itself, and a few things that they had retweeted/reblogged after the finale, it was pretty clear that was the intent for the last shot, but it is good to hear it in no uncertain terms.

 

I now demand all love triangles be ended this way.

 

Putting this behind a spoiler for size reasons:

To funny.

 

This is definitely the best way for love triangles to end.

 

Actually, I think this is the first time I've ever seen an actual love triangle on a show. All the other ones just make a V.

 

What really stuns me is that Dickdelodeon was actually SUPPORTIVE of what Bryke intended for Korra and Asami, lack of a kiss aside.
So despite their network douchebaggery, I suppose credit can be given where it's due.

 

Pretty much.

 

In their defense, Spongebob is still pretty gay.

 

Now that I've had a couple of days (and viewings) to mull over the finale, I think I can put a few thoughts down about it.

Overall, I like it, and thought it was really well done. The fight against Kuvira's Colossus was really well done, and gave about every character who had a role this season a chance to do something. The fight wasn't just to wail away at it and hope that does it, but to actually use tactics and strategy to bring it down; going from trying to trip it tow cable style, to Varrick's EMP, and to Bolin, Su, and Lin dropping a building on it. The battles inside it were also well done, with Lin and Su (mostly) disabling the Spirit Cannon, Mako and Bolin disabling the spirit power source, and Korra fighting Kuvira on the command deck.

One of the best scenes, I thought, in the whole thing was the conversation Kuvira had with Korra, where it became obvious that they really weren't that much different. Seriously, take what Kuvira says to Korra, and compare it to what Korra herself was saying in the first half of season 2. They both talk about how they want to protect their people, and how no one seemed to care. The fact that Korra uses that similarity to understand her, and talk her down without further violence, really underscores just how much her character has changed from that young, brash, hot-headed Avatar that first came to Republic City.

 

I think we're over due to for a love ouroboros.
