Actually, there's so much world out there, that a spin off of how the group struggles to maintain the peace they've built at the end of the series would be great (something like Gundam Seed Destiny).

Squeeeeeeeee!

Personally, I'd like to see more Aang.

The ending was left fairly open, I don't think it would be a stretch to open up that world again.

As much as I enjoyed watching Aang learn what it was to be the avatar, I'm not sure it's a smart move to re-do that trip with a new iteration of the avatar. Personally, I'd like to see Aang and Co. pushed forward a few years to continue their adventures.

But hey, I ain't picky, I'll take anything at this point :)

The later adventures od Aang would be cool, doing the whole avitar thing, I'm not sure how a spin off would work out, and I'm sure there are more people doing bad in the world, that and the old firelord and his daughter are out there and can always be a Dr. Klaw figure.

Actually the creators stated a while ago theywanted to get started on a new series in the world. They are also working closely with shyamalan on the movie so it's doubtful they think he's going to fuck it up.

MORE SOKKA! rabblerabblerabble

My guess is that it will be a prequel of sorts showing Aang and the wind bender tribe before it was wiped out.

I hope they don't pull one of those "you know that happy ending the series had? well five minutes later everyone died horribly and now the world sucks again."

I hate it when a sequel series does that.

By the way what was up with Aang and Katara making out at the end of the series? I know I missed a few episodes from season 3 and some of season 2 but that just seemed to come out of nowhere to me.

I could imagine it being about Zuko and his search for what happened to his mother. That was pretty heavily (I mean explicitly) hinted at at the end of the 3rd book.

I'm rewatching from the beginning at the moment now. God I love that programme.

Meh, people keep whining about the movie, saying that it can never capture the entire season in such short a time. Well duh. I've recently watched through the entire first season, and I'd guesstimate there is about an hour or two of actual character development total in it... the rest is just as in any series - random side-quests with little actual value but to make another funny episode.

So yeah, I'm really looking forward to the movie. I think it'll be awesome. It might not tell the story of the missing sock or whatever, but I'm quite confident it will manage to capture the actual storyline.

As for fucking it up... get real. It isn't a sacred book, it's a cartoon. If someone decides to tell the same story in a different way, of course it wont be the same. It doesn't mean they have disrespected your honour. Put the sword down. DOWN I SAID!

Good geek.

Now continue with the bitterness.

Am I the only nerd in the world who doesn't see the appeal of this show?

Well, technically on the series mythos there are four elements, and yet they created only three books (seasons) for the series.

Book of Air is missing, and I think they could use it as a prequel, telling the stories of the destroyed airbenders.

I don't like the idea of a prequel. I like the idea of just picking up where they left off. Let Zuko find his mother, and just because the fire lord went down doesn't mean all the fighting or trouble just stops. I'm sure there is still a lot that Aang needs to do.

People, don't get your hopes up. This is going to be the kind of cash-grab spin-off cartoon that 're-imagines' things and makes them 'fresh' to 'today's kids'. If they don't do that, I'll eat my hat.

Rob, here's the thing, I'm totally down with a new and different Avatar story, maybe from the past. What I'd still like is as Avatar movie with Aang and the gang perhaps trying to find other airbenders and Zuko searching for his mother. This could work as both characters would be on journeys of discovery and reunion.

Only one question, would the original voice cast return? If not, then I would vote for a whole new story. I just couldn't warm up to the new Iroh, when Mako died. The character was just not the same. Why couldn’t they at least find another Japanese actor!?

Maybe they're revamp the pairings? God, I hope so. I feel like they pulled the final pairings out of a hat. Not to mention they ALL paired off but Toph.

I'm thinking it will be a continuation. Zuko and his mom plotline and his rebuilding the kingdom, and Aang being the Avatar and, I dunno. Training properly? Not to mention rebuilding the water tribes.

Book four: Air.

Aang finds clues (via that lotus group) that the airbenders weren't all wiped out, but some went in to hiding. Team Avatar could easily spend 20 episodes searching the world for clues, and encountering new issues in old places due to the sudden political changes.

Maybe we could see some backlash against the Avatar for ending the economic boom of the war in some areas. Perhaps some more in-depth blood-bending. More about Sokka's awesome space sword! And Toph's moon-rock should have some crazy side-effects or something.

Then, Book Five: Time. A hundred years later, when Aang finally dies, no new Avatars! The world has to deal with their own issues without spiritual interference.

Tentatively titled "UNTITLED Avatar project?" That's like, "We named our baby but we're not going to name him."

Kalim Dayspring pretty much has the same ideas for "Book 4: Air" as I do. Or Book 4 could be about the return of the Fire Nation Emperor, who not only got his powers back, but learned the other "bending' skills as well.

//BTW, Aang could have ended the fight with the Emperor in minutes- using his Airbending skills, Aang seals himself in an air bubble, then removes the remaining air from the room. No air = no fire, and the Emperor passes out. The end.

I can seem them doing a fourth book called Air. Aang's first order of business after the war has to be rebuilding the Airbenders since they are essential to the Avatar cycle. I can see a whole season being devoted to that.

Sherm's site, Cartoon Snap, is not an animation job site, it's just that a lot of us cartoonists and cartoonists-in-training frequent his site so he does everyone a favor and posts job postings when he sees any. Yay Sherm!

I'm holding out hope for the "Zuko searches for his banished mother" storyline.

preeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeequeeeeeeeeeeeel

It's something totally different from what you're expecting and yes, the creators are working on it. Just wait and it'll be sweet.

this is awesome :) I hope it's for book four: air and I hope we see Zutara. there's plenty of story still left to tell, like what happened to Zuko's mom and how is the world re-built after the war, and Toph teaches Aang how to make new air-bending babies.

There's lots of potential here, mentioned and hinted at by the original show:

* The stories of the other Avatars: Kyoshi, Kuruk (how did he lose his lady love to Koh?), Yangchen or countless others we've yet to hear about

* The Return of Koh. Remember that the Face-Stealer promised Aang "we will meet again".

* Iroh's story. His travel to the Spirit World, the prophecy he was given that he'd conquer Bah Sing Se, etc.

By the way, the disappearance of Zuko's mom is said to be tackled by the upcoming M. Night movie (he's mentioned as much in interviews).

And according to a Nick site, Azula is in an insane asylum as a result of the finale.

So I highly doubt you're going to see those plot threads chased down.

These are the questions I want answered in a new series or even one shot:

1. What happened to Zuko's mom????

2. What happened to Azula?

3. Did Aang and Katara get married and are there any airbending childrens?

4. How is the Jasmin Dragon doing and did Uncle Iroh ever get with Jun?

5. Did Toph reconcile with her parents?

6. Did Sokka and Suki marry, and do they have any kids.

7. Zuko and Mei, Kids?

8. Why, if Ty Lee was so upset about being part of a set, did she join the Kyoshi Warriors who all wear the same makeup and clothes? Why???? It doesn't make sense!!!!

@Monkey boy (my PS3 messes up on the reply function).
Whoops...I mixed up the Aang vs Ozai fight with the underground battle with Azula. Still, Aang could have just snared Ozai in a air bubble and removed the oxygen from it. Fight over.
As for the Avatar being the only master of the four elements, the show never said it was impossible (IIRC) for a non-Avatar to learn more than one type of bending...

If they do it in a completely different time period, which could totally work, I'd like to see some sort of corrupt Avatar trying to establish his own nation or something like that. If they go for the current era there's also plenty they could draw from. Azula and a splinter group of fire nation radicals as the main antagonists, with the world's difficulty adjusting to the new postwar time has great potential. But set it a few years after the original show.

I'm happy as long as it's not a prequel. I will never understand how prequels where you know everything that's going to happen already hold any appeal for people.

I loved avatar the last airbender all three book, what the next avatar series need is discovery more but quality like a new style of bending and I’m not talking on the lines of blood bending but nothing that pushes time or space then it becomes like Sci-Fi no one likes that, but extension of the 4 elements like a 5th element that that gives and takes bending an absorbing bending something on the lines of that. And with the characters have like the people of the white lotus like a training camp for them of something to recruited seeing that the old members are getting old and that have to it fast because there world is being threatened by ..........................all my ideas will be put up on twitter if you want to see them

If the hotshots over at Nickelodeon would be so kind as to ask my advice here is the way I work this ....

in the original 3 books there were so many different story lines that all interconnected. This style is one of the things that really made Avatar such a great series.

So several plots:

Zuko searches for mom

Azula escapes and helps her dad escape- the duo goes into hiding and starts creating havoc

Aang and Katara have little baby air and water benders.

Aang goes in search of any air benders that were born in the years after he froze himself- surely there was one or two women from the water tribe that were captured instead of being killed? The sage suggested that people with the ability to bend would be able to be found in any nation- just not always recognized outside of their own, so Aang needs to reestablish the Air nation and air benders

There needs to be a lot of exploration with this secret society of the White Lotus- I would think that Uncle and Sokku need to be pretty involved in that part.

I think it would be pretty easy to get 20 or so episodes out of all that.

i hope it will be about tying up the loose ends of Zuko's mother still being alive. maybe it will focus more on that?
maybe Azula will come back, angry and insane as ever...
