The thing I liked a lot about The Last Airbender (show not movie) is that they didn't show death almost at all and the one person you know died they say that they have no idea what actually happened.
They showed Monk Giatu's skeleton if I remember correctly.

Am I the only one getting an Arcanum vibe from this? Technology is in an upswing, and 'bending' (Magick) is starting to be looked down upon. Certainly not saying it's a copy or anything. I'm just getting that feeling, and it's a feeling I like. Always loved when technology (Especially steampunk) clashes or melds with magic and the arcane.

Its implied that he was killed by the Fire Nation but they didn't SHOW him DIE only showed him DEAD. Jett however died on the show and when they got to the Ember Island Players Sokka says that they don't really know when Suki asked about it.

They never said Aang is alive. In fact he pretty much has to be dead for her to be the next avatar. A son of Aang is apparently in this show.
..WUT.

Oh that is cruel, man. "Hey you know that guy, you cared so much about? He died! :D."

I feel like a sad bear now.
Well I wouldn't feel too bad, she's probably in her early teens, so Aang had a full life, living until his 60s. Though the fact that he had a son probably will make the Zutara fans lose their final glimmer of hope. I wouldn't be suprised to see some old faces though, like I'd imagine Sokka might be around as a member of the white lotus society.
Don't worry too much about missing Aang from what I've heard he'll be the Roku of the series.

Well, I'm just glad I'm not the only one who is taking a hesitant approach to this.
Believe me when I heard darker and more mature, I immediately became hesitant, but they seem to be interested in balancing it out with a "similar sense of fun and adventure of the original series". So don't be afraid to get excited, because they do listen that's what The Ember Island Players was about and they do seem to acknowledge the fans which is something you can't say about many other series (George Lucas immediately popped into your head).

Really looking forward to this. If they do it right this will be an excellent sequel. And if King Bumi is anything to go by, a lot of the original characters will still be around. And I'm glad they're not making a series with an older Aang, I don't think the character would be as appealing as an adult.

Hopefully it answers the huge gaping plot hole of what the fuck they actually do in the world if Aang actually was the last airbender wouldn't that f up the next avatar cycle?
Two answers.
1. Tenzin (Son of Aang/Katara)
2. Energybending the most awesome plot convenience ever! (Watch Sozin's Comet)
