    It'll be pretty cool to see some Freemason-like activity with a whole "society with secrets" made up of those who are powerful both politically and in a literal sense(bending) that has a plan to achieve society a greater good without the Avatar , or some other sort of conspiracy theory/NWO stuff like that. Seems like a time in the Avatar World where things like that would be running rampant along with a rise in commercialism and expanding globalization.

    If they're willing to give the OWL that type of 'edge' to their character as a whole, but I would rather like to see a different organization in the role if they do decide to go somewhere along that route.

    The OWL seems incorruptible, they're all for the good of the people, and they seem to have a good working relationship with the Avatar. It would also make them seem a bit like how the Dai Li was to Kyoshi.


    But seeing as how this series takes place 70 years after the original series, a lot could possibly change in that time. Perhaps Aang's death(and possibly the circumstances surrounding it) could somehow trigger something in the society where they begin to act as if they can keep the balance of the world without the consultation of the Avatar, which in turn, leads to further disaster down the road.

    Plus based on the fact that most of the original members are dead, it may happen


    On a side note, after 5 minutes of research, I found out past avatar genders


    Korra
    Aang
    Roku
    Kyoshi
    Kuruk
    YangChen
    Unnamed Male Fire Avatar
    Unnamed Male Earth Avatar
    Unnamed Female Water Avatar
    Unnamed Male Air Avatar
    Unnamed Female Fire Avatar
    Unnamed Male Earth Avatar
    Based on this I can conclude Korra is the first female avatar in around 1000 years
    And the fire avatar hasnt been a girl since 1200 years ago
    assuming each avatar has an average life span of 100 years


    this is all from this image

    *is flustered* I still can't get over the fact that Aang had to die so young for an Avatar. D: The whole first series revolved around him really (and Zuko), so it's like we really know him. I feel like if they show a flashback to how he died like they did for Roku, I'm probably going to become really depressed...T_T

    Iguess being trapped in an iceberg for 100 years can do that for a person. Talk about some major hypothermia.

    Besides, if they were gonna introduce a brand new Avatar, he had to die somehow. Still, it is a shame he had to die pretty young, younger than Roku especially.

    You guys are forgetting a major part. If the story starts 70 years from the end of the war that means Aang died in his 50's because Korra has to grow up to be 16 (from the looks that picture she could be younger or older but right now our main guess is 16). So i doubt Aang died in his 50's of natural causes. So i think right now we can get a good indication that Aang didn't die of natural causes. I'm just assuming but Avatar Kyoshi lived to be in her 200's ( That was in a Avatar extra.) so why would Aang die at the age of 54 by natural causes. So the Non Bending revolt is very possibly a serious threat.

    you did the math wrong


    70-16=54+12=66


    now as for dying young, the creators said he burned up his avatar time in the iceberg so i guess each avatar has a different amount of time the avatar can be in them before they die

    yeah i just realized i forgot to add in th e 12 years but that is still young and i think the creators just don't want to reveal anything.

    its gonna be kinda different without aang, the advantage of the new show is that its a completely new adventure in a very changed world. I really hope they bring back some of the old characters I mean aang may be gone but he can show up as a spirit like Roku to Korra.


    I mean the rest of the gangthatI am hopingwill show up in the series are sokka, suki, Azula, Zuko, toph, and katara. Hopefully go into more detail with Azula because after watching the old series it seemed like there was more to her and she became insane later on with no one she could love or trust.


    I looked at the picture of Korra describing the new series it reminds me of the Fable games espically Fable 2 or the upcoming Fable 3.

    Slightly off-topic, but I love how there's already a buttload of Korra (and Tenzin!) fanart. It's only been what two days? Avatar is serious business, you guys. Oh, and are Bryke officially doing a panel or autograph thing atsdcc so more info soon, hopefully?

    I hope we get to see a little bit more of Koh in this new series. Especially considering that the Avatar is now born out of the Water Tribe.

    well its true isn't it? benders are more of a convenience than anything else. they are always the ones causing wars since their the ones who gain political control (besides the earth king though he might of just not been born a bender like the rest of his family). i mean i wouldn't want them around either if their always the center of conflict. their powers are useful for landscaping and getting rid of polution but the cost is your rights and freedom because you have no way of fighting them.



    your going to side with the nonbenders arent you?


    no but i see where their coming from and i do think it'd be fair to let the people rule instead of jerks like azula ozai ect. you know a dewmocracy
    the nomads were good rulers as are the earth kings it is only the fire nation


    someone here hasn't watched avatar day or any of the season 2 eps for ba sing se :B



    there are bound to be some bad officials, but not all of them are some are pretty competent


    I'd say that some of the Earth Kingdom had bad rule. Look at all the conspiracies with the Dai Li, and of course the Fire Nation is obvious. But the Water Tribes weren't especially great either, more notably the Northern Water Tribe. They generally discriminated against women.
    Though, I don't think that the people of Korra's time have enough information on the Air Nomads, and the people of Aang's time didn't either. Instead of the 100 years, it's now been 170 years since the downfall of an entire nation. But if the other 3 nations have their faults, it's safe to assume that the non-benders of Korra's time will think that the airbenders are just as bad.


    but srsly would you want a ruler that can be overthrown by a bender very easily?


    would you want a ruler who kills you on a whim by burning or burying you alive. also rulers have been overthrown by non benders ( zuko's mom hello) and by benders liek the dai li

    Ok, I have to say but one thing about this whole thing...



    WOOOHOOOO!!!



    Now back to putting in something funny/interesting for you all to read. I read the question and answer with Bryke. What I really like about those guys are the way they answered the following:


    What did you guys think of the live-action version of "The Last Airbender"?


    Konietzko: We're just really focused on this new show right now, and kind of taking this off in its own direction and not concerning ourselves with that right now.


    So you didn't follow the casting controversy about the movie version of "The Last Airbender"?


    Konietzko: We didn't head up that film. We're just happy to be back generating the original content in this mythology, which is what we do.



    Say it with me all!


    Mr. Shamalyandingdong not worth trying spell your name... You have just been thrown under the bus by the show's creators. You have been pawned. Cool Now you can go to India and do your Baliwood movies...

    This is awesome news!!!!!!! There are a few things I wanna know though

    1. Is Tenzin also a Waterbender?

    2. Does he have any kids and if so are any of them Airbenders?

    3. When in 2011 will we see the show? Hopefully it's early 2011 like February.


    Anyway, I also wanted to say that we could see almost all the main cast in the new series. I mean Katara, Sokka, Toph, Zuko, Suki, Azula, all of them should be around their 80s with Toph being 82.

    Another thing that makes me think this is that characters in the Avatar world seem to be long lived. I mean even among non-Avatars. Guru Pathik was 150 years old.

    Also like the interview said, Aang burned up most of his life in the iceberg. I mean just because he didn't age doesn't mean he wasn't alive, plus another thing that could have contributed to his death is the fact that the whole time he was in the Iceberg, the Avatar spirit was active. He was basically in the Avatar State for 100 years which could have decreased his lifespan.

    Then there's the fact that chronologically, Aang lived for around 166 years and isn't Avatar Kyoshi the longest lived Avatar at 260+ years? So maybe Aang would have lived a long life if not for being stuck in the Iceberg.
