Avatar; The Legend Of Korra

[Furbyz]

Loved it to death. I downloaded it off iTunes in HD. I've probably watched these same episodes like 4 times including the actual TV premiere.

Hardcore Avatard right here.

I watched it online, and I like the way its going, and what I think they're trying to do with it. I think its going to do well, but i"ll be sad that its going to be so short (at least from what the people mkaing it said).

Massive let down and pretty much an unneeded sequel to an ok series.

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

I genuinely liked it and its good to see the characters are still brilliantly written. Looking forward to more episodes.

I think it's really well written so far too.

I was really hoping that it was going to be on the same level as the original. Having J.K. Simmons voicing Tenzin is going to be freaking awesome as this series goes on.

I believe they said if Korra get's popular then they will make it longer.

Loved it. Huzzah for Cave Johnson as Airbending Sensei. xD

That shocked the hell out of me when my friend told me about that. So it looks like I have yet another reason to tune in. XD

But throne those kids are hyper... where's the amasec when you need it?

Commissar Cain drank it all. ... Don't pretend you're shocked.

eh... if they decide to do that, I hope they have the story to back it up. from what I understood this was supposed to be a one seasson thing, and I dont think it will be as good if tehy draw it out.

The style of the art for anything that is animated is drastically different from the background art. It works just fine most of the time but sometimes it kind of clashed for me. Mainly because I think the quality of the scenery is so much higher than the rest. Wasn't much of a big deal but it did kind of irritate me at the start. The art is generally a really high quality, nice to see in a western animation.

The music was great, obvious Jazz influences with a little bit of classical every now and then. I think this is the part which I generally liked the most. I pay far too much attention to the music in these kind of things, and it really is top notch here.

The characters and story so far aren't anything innovative. You have the hot headed person who thinks with their heart, the stoic mysterious guy who probably has a dark past, the old teacher who is behind the times etc etc. However, it's all executed so well that I didn't really mind.

Also, Steve Blum is the voice actor for the bad guy. He was only in it for like 5 seconds but I still recognised the voice. I mean, how I could I not notice the voice of Spike Seagal and Onizuka?

There you go, that's my views on the matter from another Legend of Korra topic.

Agreed, for the most part.
Oh, and it's Spike Spiegel.

Well fuck. Now you've ruined it for me instead of it ruining itself. That guy needs to stop.

I'm a Avatar: The legend of Aang fan so I was already sold on The legend of Korra before I saw it. When I first watched it, I ran around the block because I was so hyper about it. I could not sleep that night.

 

[Fijiman]

I love it and I can't wait to see more of it. Then again, that was my opinion of it after watching the leaked episodes a few weeks ago. Of course knowing that J.K. Simmons plays Tenzin makes it even better.

 

[CruisingForBiddies]

I think it was absolutely brilliant, and the best bit is that they have managed made the world even more believable. It just makes me wish it was real

 

[MrMisfit]

I like what I see so far. Pro bending is a very cool sport though I curious about the rules ( the Fire Ferret team won a match even though they lost 2 out of three rounds). Great cast. I was especially suprised to see David "Bud Bundy" Faustino is playing Mako. He was pretty good. I look forward to see where this series will go

 

[tzimize]

What are your impressions after the hour long premiere?

I like the World i like the characters and like the idea of pro bending.

Yep.

I actually managed to not be sceptical about this venture, and it was great. I like the timejump, I like the characters, I like the animation....all in all....yum. I cant wait for more episodes

I know, I'm supposed to accept it as willing suspension of disbelief..But really, how can they have a Bending-Arena where they shoot fire and earth-disks at one-another? Water I might get, but FIRE? Wouldn't this be close to lethal?

What's the in-universe explanation for those that get hit (say, a water-bender) with an earth-disk at full force to the chest, how do they survive it? Sure, they wear SOME armor, but enough to take one at the speeds they are shown? I doubt it.
Is it part of every bending-style everywhere that you get a "resistance-shield", so you are able to transfer kinetic energy, no matter what element?

I understand when it comes to Same Element vs Same Element, as you are trained to "save" vs these things (fire can absorb fire, etc), but Fire vs Earth? Fire vs Water?
And yes, they do show (in the latest episode) fighters taking full-blown hits to the body without any bending-defence to migate.
So, anyone have an official explanation, or theory? I know it's a "kidsshow", but it confuses me..I mean, look at Zuko's face..

(And yeah, more OT: It rocks so far. Except the STUPID V for Vendetta ripoff)

There's a video the inventor of probending made when he was telling the animators about it. I saw it awhile ago, but I think the discs are made of clay so they break on impact, and face shots are not allowed from what I remember. Neither is hitting someone with ice.

 

[Agayek]

Oh fuck, I had forgotten all about this. I'm gonna have to go watch it now.

 

[Cheery Lunatic]

Wasn't really a fan of the original Airbender, but by golly did I love the two episodes of The Legend of Korra.

Korra is just so adorable and awesome and the animation/action blew my mind.
