Nickelodeon (ended 2008)
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

| 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. |
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

Will more info be released during Comic Con???
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?

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. 
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.
