• I like to think of Aang as the last pureblood airbender. Since Tenzin is half blood being son of Katara and Aang, it means he isn't a true airbender.

• She totally does! Minus the blond hair and pale skin, but its like the same hairstyle and body type. It's super FMA for sure.

• Does this show seem to look like Full Metal Alchemist to anybody else? I mean not the plot but the animations, the steampunk-ness, and the fact that Korra kind of looks like Winry. Nerding out, I know.

• cant wait 4 the new series to come on air but i'm confused is korra the new avatar?so does that mean no more aang? i cant watch it unless aang,gautara,and sauka are in it.but still cant wait ive been waiting 4 this 4 a long time.

• Me neither, thats why I am crying out tears of joy

• AWSOME Love it for so many reasons, the original series is amazing ans one of my favourite shows still, so I havwe TONS of confidence in the Legend of Korra series My only problem is why it's only 70yrs after The Last Airbender, and Korra is 17, so Aang died at 65. Why so young? Bumi lived to over 100. Kyoshi even older. For EVERYONE in Aang's gang to be dead in The Legend of Korra, that means none of them lived to their mid - late 80s. I think that at least one of them would be alive. Even if they never come into contact with Korra and are therefore never mentioned in the new series, I'd think it'd be likely that at least one of em is still kickin. Although I look forward to the new story lines in Korra, I'm hoping for some Aang flashbacks, to explain some things. It'd be so cool to see grown-up Aang giving some avatar wisdom

• I think I just jizzed in my pants. And I'm a girl.

• I saw a picture of him he will look old and will be in spirit form. He will korra's spirit guide

• cant wait til next year, but why 70 years, later Aang's son will be70 or 71and he is the only child Aang has and he is the last air so he's ganna die and there will be no airbenders left so Aang could like have three kids that can do airbending

• they aculty animated a scene where he was renitesd with his mom but one of the creators didnt like it so they didnt use it

• Though they left some questions unanswered in the original series, Legend of Korra sounds amazing. Since spirit Avatar's are known for teaching living Avatars life lessons, and giving guidance, I'm sure Spirit Aang will definitely be seen during Korra's search for an Airbender Master (which will lead her to his son). I suspect we'll learn the truth about Zuko's mother through either Aang or Korra's Fire Bending Master (post-Mastering). Assuming her teacher has family ties to Zuko. I also wouldn't be surprised if the old gang (Toph, Zuko, Katara and Aang) became the new order of the White Lotus during the 70 years in between. I am, however, very disappointed Uncle Iroh won't be in the new series. He was my favorite character, besides Momo and Appa. Thank You Michael and Bryan, this may make up for your poor choice in a Director. M Night needs to retire. Even "Devil" sucked.

• I think they should continue aangs story. They left a question unanswered, unless they plan on answering it with this sequel. It may not seem like a big deal but they never answered the question of where zuko's mother is, like what happened to her and everything. I mean i was kinda hoping they were gona continue with that, and show what happened after the war ended, and show what happened between katara and aang, and if azula was still in the phsyco ward since she pretty much went crazy on the last episode. The legend of korra sounds like itll be an interesting show, but i was really hopeing they wouldve continued with aangs story by makeing a book 4 instead of creating a sequel. Hopefully it wont dissapoint me. i really liked avatar the last airbend.

• dude. i know im totally late to the news but still, wooooh. avatar was the best show ever that nick has done(or so i think) i am very sure that the details of this new avatars personality isnt going to be quiet that. i know the creators wouldnt let me down! im sure shell grow into something more by 2011. oh lord could that be so far away. wahh. im crying. im so happy. hopefully it will be great!

• It very sad that there not going to have a book 4 on Avatar The Last Airbender. But at least there making a sequel to Avatar The Last Airbender

• Does this mean that there are more Airbenders and the race was saved by Aang and Katara, because, if so, that would be soooo awesomee!!!

• Have they came out with the exact month and day its going to come out?

• Yea, he did! Remember the EMBER ISLAND PLAYERS esipode? It shows jet does die!

• I just hope they dont majorly Change the artwork i hate when that happens

• If there going to do a sequel for the water nation then its a must they make one for the earth and fire that equals 4x the awsomeness

• If there going to do a sequel for water then its a must they go on for earth and fire thats 4x the awsomeness

• please tell me there will be an epilogue! ive got to know everything!!! what happened to toph? did mia and zuko have a baby? and how about sokka?

• Avaar Yangchun it was in the finale when she said her name she was giving advice to Aang about killing Fire Lord Ozai.

• why does aang have to pass on but i know its an avatar thing!

• no, aang's certainly dead. the avatar is reborn the same instant the last has died

• no, aang has certainly died. the avatar is reborn at the same instant the last has died

• No, it wasn't. Rewatch the first couple episodes. It wasn't an Avatar thing, but it was an airbender requirment for the Avatar, that as the Avatar, he had to set aside family ties. This included Monk Gyatso. It was also revealed at the end, that the avatar was expected to set aside his nation's way of life, to perform his duties, and thus will never achieve enlightenment as his people recognize it. (I loaned my DVDs out to someone, or else I'd checkright now what the exact reasons were.) It's also an airbender thing that any children they have belong to the community, not the individual. Either way, take a chill pill. Movie wasn't nearly as bad as everyone here makes it out to be. I mean, the nerd rage here takes that to an extreme level.

• pero que si la revelion fue iniciada hace anos por el mismo rey de la nacion del fuego? recuerdan que le quitaron sus poderes de fire bender?

• As a die-hard fan of the original Avatar, I'm absolutely psyched to see this.

• if katara acted so motherly to aang, toph, and sokka, i wonder how she acted to her real son :P

• i bet someone killed aang

• longshot didnt kill jet, he just lifted his bow towards the door to shoot anyone if they tried to attack or come in the room

• Possibly Aang's early death has something to do with the anti-bender uprising, or the rising crime in the city? Very possibly part of the starting plot, and the ultimate plot driver to the series conclusion?

• I think it would be cool if Aang used his Power bending and GAVE the air bending power to the people who live in the temple now. :-)

• While I think Korra may be cliche, I also think those attitudes will really cause extra issues when blended with this 'anti-bender' stuff, so...whatever. I forsee...Sokka and Zuko spearheading white lotus movements...Spirit Aang...steampunky goodness...Gran-Toph cameo...general Ava-awsomesauce stuff. I look forward to seeing Aang's son, whom I suspect will be infused will katara's bravery and optimism as well as Aang's 'stay-true-to yourself' philosophy and his wisdom. Well...2011, the Legend of Avatars continues...!

• I want to see old aang. I cant imagine what theyll make him look like

• Well, that may be cliche, but what would you have preferred? A "silent, obedient young lady who knows her place"?

• I knew that Jet was dead (and never really thought it was unclear), but totally missed the implication that it was a mercy killing by Smellerbee.

• "This new avatar is not only a girl, but also hot-headed, independent and ready to take on the world." Wait! They got it all wrong! They forgot "smart" and "tough", and maybe "liberated" as well. Then the stupid cliche would be complete.

• Haha I'm so excited!! I don't know why people are so upset by Korra's description, it's obvious they don't want to give it away too much lol "hot headed" and "independent" are just the tip of the iceberg and mean that she's gonna kick butt too bad aangs dead haha I want to see old Toph though xD "don't make kick ur arse young lady! cuz i will! I'll metal bend ur prissy little head in to next week if i have to!" xD

• I am a huge fan of the original series, and yet I am not even remotely excited for this. I just think it's unnecessary to try and invent a sequel to a series that was so well done, and ended brilliantly. I have huge doubts that this will be as good as the first.

• I'm not sure I'm buying this one. First, why is it a big deal that the new avatar is a girl? They already established that past avatars were women. Second, why is it a big deal that she's "hot headed and ready to take on the world?" I hope they're not planning on making her an angry woman, that's so cliche! Third, she's now a crime fighter? Really, she can't simply be helping the world solve it's problems, she has to be a vigilantly? Finally, she also has to deal with anti-bending sentiments? Sounds a little too much like a cross between Batman and the X-Men for my taste, but I'll wait and see.

• In this series someone needs to find Sokka's space sword. It was too cool to be lost forever.

• I Can't Wait Its Premiere. I want ti know How It will Be!!!! Please bring it on.

• I Can't Wait Its Upcoming Premiere. I Want to know, how Will be that show.

• Wow, that's clever. Exactly what is steam again? Ah yes, gaseous water. As a matter of fact, Aang and Katara managed to bend "steam" in Book 1 when they were helping Jet fill a reservoir.

• Avatars weren't the only ones with long life spans. King Boomie was a friend of Aang's before the iceberg. When the series went to Omashu, Boomie was a pretty healthy & active ~110 year old.

• In the last seconds of seeing Jet, Smellerbee started crying, Longshot drew back his bow while watching Aang & friends leave the room then turned back towards Jet. When the shot came back to Toph, she said "He's lying" (in reference to Jet telling Katara that he'll be fine). It was an innocent, G rated way to establish that Longshot mercifully killed Jet. The episode was on last night

• even though the writers seem to confirm that aang is dead using up time frozen etc etc....i think it would still be plausible that Aang could have removed his own bending powers which in essence could dissolve the "Avatar" in him thus creating the vacuum needed for a new avatar to be called upon. perhaps he simply wanted to lead the simple life being that he never truly wanted to be the avatar in the first place. his son could simply decide to continue in his fathers footsteps and rebuild their air tribe as well as train the next gen avatar. as for there being no other air tribes i would consider the sand benders to be an offshoot version as they cant just move sand around in a circle and create gusts of wind to move their sand ships, seems like a bit of a blend of earth and air bending to me

• dig deeper watson...

• +1 for effort, -4 for being too obvious.

• This is awesome news! As others said, I really hope they tie up the only two unanswered questions from the first series. First, what happened to Zuko's mother? Second, why did Iroh "retire" from being a general and how did he end up in the spirit world? ...and please, for the sake of all that is good and decent, KEEP M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN FAR AWAY FROM ANYTHING RELATED TO THIS SERIES!

• They should tie up the loose ends from the first series, then continue

• That was just in the movie. CURSE YOU, M. NIGHT!!!!

• 70 years? If Aang was 12 when he fought Ozai, lets says he was 13 and this girl Korra, who is a teenager, is somewhere between 13-17, so lets say 15. That would mean, Aang died before he reached 70? He probably had an epic death like Roku. Also, if Aang and Katara got freaky after they kissed at the end of the series, Tenzin is probably like in his 50s. But realistically, he's probably in his mid-30s or something. Wonder if Aang only had one kid? He is the last airbender and he needs to do whatever he can to repopulate his people. So he must get it on with as many chicks as possible.

• I found it interesting that the avatars name is korra it's close to katarra and sokka. So I was thinking maybe it's sokka's kid and that he names her after katarra!

• hm.. i remembered that aang ran away when he found out that he was the avatar and had to live secluded. oh well, it would have made a good reason.

• So it's pretty much a Batman Beyond take with Avatar? I'm okay with this.

• Yeah, Jet is dead, it was in the commentaries.

• Why are people stressing about the personality description for Korra? You could have easily described Toph that was. Stretching a little you could have described Katara that way. Almost all the female characters from the original series rocked, let's not jump to conclusions from a little blurb.

• What worries me is that when I read things like that, what I get is the "boy with boobs and a vagina" character. A girl who acts like a boy.

• dude, awesome!

• they have the whole series on http://www.anilinkz.com/ under the cartoons tab

• Avatar Kyoshi, the avatar that create Kyoshi Island, was female. There was also a female monk avatar that was seen in season 3.

• I agree. Also, I am not sure...were there any female Avatars in the past line?

• Interview with the creators is found here: http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/07/21/legend-of-korra-the-creators-of-avatar-the-last-airbender-on-the-new-spinoff/?KEYWORDS=korra They even talk about how Aang's death: If there's a new Avatar, that means Aang has passed on. If he died around age 70, isn't that pretty young for an Avatar? Konietzko: You gotta keep in mind that he was frozen in a state of suspended animation for 100 years, so he kind of burned up some of his extra Avatar time.

• cool story bro

• YES! BRING.! IT! ON! =D

• True, but at the time of his death, only about 55 years would have passed. None of his friends were out of their TEENS when the first series started--they could <i>easily</i> have still been alive. They could still be around when the spinoff starts. Hell, it might still be possible for his male friends to be fathering <i>children</i> at that age. Anyways...I at just hope for the poor little guy's sake that if he didn't get to die in his sleep of old age, he at least got to go out happy. Something involving the last words "Hey everybody...check THIS out!" would do nicely.

• I'm hoping this is one season, and kind of plays as an epilogue "Book of Air" season. It would explain the close time period to the Airbender series. If not, then it really should have been 170 years later. You know Aang would've lived longer than even other Avatars, considering his lifestyle and attitude. But if this series has Spirit Aang, and older characters from Airbender filling in the changes of the world since the war, then that would make it perfect. Also, on a side note. As I've been watching through the "Extras" lately, it's occured to me that an anti-bending attitude should most definitely surface in this world. See: Zuko Alone. And, considering the elitist societies bending created before the war, and the most-likely "benders-fill-the-power-vacuums" society of this new city, I'd suggest that anti-bending attitudes aren't necessarily unfounded. Even in shows I love, I tend to side with "the enemy" more often. I always believed in Baltar!

• ME TOO.

• I think you should stop covering news about this piece of shit show for kids. How about covering Chowder instead?

• What... are you talking about? Akira is about psychic monster children that rip people apart and crush them to death in the future. How does that sound anything like "elemental bending", "steam punk", and "Nickelodeon"?

• They pointed out in an interview that Aang's 100 years in the iceberg ate into his long life.

• This is great. For added funnies in the UK, "bender" is a homosexual slur. So lines like "Your husband will be a great bender" take on a whole new context.

• I like it can't wait to watched it..

• Thats one of the things people are talking about. We don't actually know that much about Iroh's time in the spirit world. Maybe he'll end up being a spirite guide! *Pictures Kuruk entering spirit realm and drinking tea with Iroh* Epic XD

• Lies. There was never any type of prohibition to having a family for the Avatar. In fact, they specifically showed the previous Avatar Roku living with his wife, mentioned that Avatar Kuruk had a fiance, and said that Avatar Kyoshi had a daughter. That's some crap M. Night Shittymoviemaker threw in because if he had given the real reasons Aang didn't want to be the Avatar, it would have made him a three-dimensional character, which M. Night can't fathom.

• The age thing is a little strange. If the show starts at 70 years later when Aang dies and Korra is born, then jumps to her as a teenager, it would make a little more sense (although most Avatar's have lived much longer, at least he dies when he's 83). If it starts 70 years later and Korra is a teen (probably 16, when Avatars are usually told they are the Avatar), it means that Aang died at least when he was 54, much younger than many elderly people we've seen on the show before. Maybe foul play is involved? We'll see... In any case, I'm ULTRA-psyched.

• maybe the reason aang is gone is because he chose to "lose" his avatar status. i remember form the series that he was supposed to live alone. if he has a child with katara he obviously broke what i assume would have been some sport of vow. maybe he gave up his longevity with the understanding he had to father another airbender or there would be no more avatars oh, and if they sign over the rights to this series and let it get fucked up i will lose it. absolutely lose it

• HE'S WANG FIRE FOR REAL NOW!

• Keep in mind that, while Aang would have the longevity of an Avatar, Kitara, Sokka, Zuko, and Toph wouldn't. Perhaps he grew tired after watching all his friends grow old and die, even as he remained relatively young?

• beware, evils of Republic City!! here comes...BENDER GIRL!! ... okay, so "Bender Girl" sounds horribly misguided somehow...

• no no, we call him M.ShyamalamadingDONG round here. get it straight, will ya buddy? XD

• and i kinda liked akira better when it was called "star wars" so, what's your point, buddy? >:3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_(manga), check the "History" section.

• Sounds great. The only thing I want is for M. Night to have a court order keeping him as far away as possible from <i>Avatar</i> related projects, and preferably have him sent to a ghetto in Afghanistan for his crimes against cinema.

• still, it would be a pretty bittersweet pill to swallow, since i came to care for the little goofball. but i concur! aang should not check out in anything LESS than a heroic death! nickelodeon, don't let me down! -waves flag-

• Full Metal Alchemist is thataway, buddy -points-

• no shit, sherlock! XD XD

• crazy fans are expected for popular shows, ain't that right, Trekkers? >:3

• please don't make me sing HEY HEY HUMAN SUCKER/AH HUMAN HUMAN FUCKER in anger at the bullet-hole-riddled poster of M. Shyamamlamadingdong hung over my wall...

• hear, hear! despite of my penchant for anime, i have a soft spot for quality american story telling. however, if they borrowed too much from batman, i think i'll stick with "mask of phantasm", thanks.

• &#64;GreekGeek that's what they also said about bats and "Arkham Asylum", and see how well THAT turned out? X3

• spoiler: it IS a cartoon made to milk in the profits from the wildly popular first. however, that is no excuse for it not to be awesome, now is it? :3

• fucking bitch. they should've roasted her crazy ass on an open fire... ...or seeing the penchant of "redeemed villains" in the original, think she would return as an old granny that provided something helpful for our intrepid young heroine? either way, i just KNOW i'll have a reaction when azula shows her bitch-ass mug back on screen, wrinkles and prune juice notwithstanding -cocks shotgun-

• teenage girl and a (possibly) middle-aged man? this sounds reaaally familiar somehow... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita ...oh.

• totally fair to judge a new show off a snippet from a press release.

• It is normal to cry tears of joy and jizz in your pants at the same time? Because I JUST DID!

• obvious troll is obvious.

• "This new avatar is not only a girl, but also hot-headed, independent and ready to take on the world." So stereotypically Hollywood. "Let's make a strong, independent woman our main character. I'm sure it won't flop like all the other attempts!" I think Futurama did this better. It was called "Single Female Lawyer."

• As long as M night ma shamahamahalan is not aloud with in 50 feet I am all for this. I loved avatar
