Well I WAS excited about it when I still thought it was the Avatar based Steampunk-esque project that was supposed to be worked on, but in seeing the video and seeing its modern buildings and structures and civilization it really sort of puts me off of the idea.
However I say that, but if the writing is as good as TLA was... then it really wont matter and I will watch it without question.

"Modern" isn't the word I would use to describe it. It looks about the equivalent of the very early 1900's. Modern by avatar standards but pretty ancient by ours.viranimus said:

Well, I wouldnt consider 100 years ancient by any measure. And looking at section from the OP video at 0:53 you get to see a wide open multi lane intersection in the middle of 4 multi story buildings. and at 0:58 you see a truck that looks roughly about a 1950s era model.
Perhaps thats not exactly modern, but its much more modern than the Restoration to victorian-esque steampunk incarnation that was presented when the news of this series first began.
I kept up with news about the series pretty well, I think, and I don't recall them specifying just how "modern" they meant when they were mentioning the "modern" city. You sure it's not just conjecture on your part?viranimus said:
Not entirely.
I would reference the first article presented on the escapist from June of last year and its quotation of "steampunk technology"
So.. I cannot say that its conjecture because it is based off some degree of information, though I grant you a source on that original quotation would be nice.

My point for bringing it up is that again, as I said in my first post. Originally it was presented as a steam punk fueled world. Steampunk era typically refers to pre second Elizabethan, Victorian era level technology that reflects a technological aesthetic of the time before the turn of the century. Technological advents such as motor vehicles and skyscrapers were innovations of the second Elizabethan era of which we are still technically in.vansau said:

That was rather fitting, I'm glad.starwarsgeek said:
You know what would be cool? Benders with different fighting styles, since this is a big and mixed city I would think. I always thought that a capoeirista water-bender would be interesting, since traditional water bending styles are all very rooted, and based on arm motions. Like a big surprise.
But then again, we could all talk about what we'd like to see all day... can we?
My reaction: "Legend of what? Oh yeah, I heard about that a few months ago. I waa a big fan of Avatar so I might as well see what the big deal is about..."
