I can not wait.
The original series is easily one of the best cartoons ever, I hope this lives up to it.

I always kinda liked the first series, but it just seemed pretty bogged down in it's pandering to the teenage demographic.
Well I wouldn't go so far to give it a "punk" label in the first place. Anything of the "punk" genres implies fantastic and over-the-top devices build with the technology of a certain area. I don't think we'll see anything really over-the-top in the new Avatar series. More advanced blimps, cars, electrical lights. Nothing too fancy, just a natural progression of technology.Anomynous 167 said:
Really? Where did you get that from? If anything I felt that it made little concessions for children. It addressed mature topics without really dumbing them down much, it treated teenagers and children as proper people.Casual Shinji said:
Well, that looked promising (but then all teaser trailers look promising). I'll be interested to see what kind of hurdles Korra will have to face. She seems pretty bad-ass, and far more mature than Aang was in the original series - it'd be great to see what being the Avatar is like from a female perspective.
Dear John, your overt use of hyperbole aggrivates me. Can you please tone down your language?John the Gamer said:Quick! Somebody build a timemachine so I can go watch it RIGHT F*CKING NOW!
It's not that I like being a kill joy, it is that I find it ludicrous that you are frothing your mouth over a simple trailer.
That's surprisingly fighting-oriented for TLA... But judging by the ending they still know this series is nothing like... The worst possible live action adaptation that could theoretically be made.
I mean more in the behaviour of the characters themselves.Cowabungaa said:
Eventhough it's very much a fantasy world, the characters just behaved somewhat too contemporary for its setting. And then there was that whole beach party episode.
But like I said, I still kinda like the show. I loved how the elemental bending powers were used in action scenes: You never really saw the same move twice, there was always an interesting new spin on how the powers were used in fights.
And if there's one episode of this show that I thought was really good, it was the one were they all go see that play based on Aang's journey so far. It was a nice little introspective take for what place in the story each character really held, and the relationships they had with eachother. I don't know if this show ever won an Emmy, but if it did I hope it was for this episode.

When i read the title of this post, i thought "why would anyone greenlight this film"
So happy to realise it was the cartoon.

Wow, when I heard that they were making it I was somewhat interested. Now I'm sold, I rather liked the show and it had one of the best finales in any show I've ever seen
Alright, alright, I'll admit you got me there. I thought you were referring to M. Night Shamalamadingdong's epic fail. I've actually known about this for a while, but I'm still excited to see an actual trailer emerge. In the way of Nicktoon spinoffs, I just hope this doesn't go the way of Planet Sheen...
I never watched the orignal avatar.
Time to get started....
I've always heard Avatar was really matre in how it approached the bending powers. If this goes the route that the blood bending episode did....
Sign me up.
It's like anime, only not made in japan

Ah, well I never minded the behavior of the characters themselves. I mean they were in the right age group themselves, and they only really went into it in an occasional episode, the beach party one being one of them. What I especially liked is how their behavior changes through the show, you really see them grow up and having trouble with it. It all feels very human, very believable, including the teenage behaviour.Casual Shinji said:
As for rewards, I always thought they got one for the Stories of Ba Sing Se episode. Turns out they got one for the Lake Laogai episode, which is also pretty damn awesome. Really shows the darker side of the Avatar universe. But the play episode you mentioned really deserves one too.
Wait a minute! I could have sworn this series was announced well over a year ago. To me, it seems like they keep pushing back its release. So frustrating.
But it looks just as amazing and well done as the original series. Hopefully we'll see some glimpses of the original series and cast, just so we can see what happened to them. Aside from that, it all sounds good. Just taking too damn long.
