Old video, but it brings up some interesting questions that I don't think have been asked.

The move at 15 seconds kinda looks like lightning bending.

The martial arts "tricks" sequence. Guy is using a stick weapon. Equalist fighting style?

Lots of spinning.

(http://itsokayeverythingsalright.tumblr.com/post/14294148158/okay-i-may-or-may-not-be-obsessed-with-lok-and)

Y'know I can't help but think it would be really hilarious if it turns out that Korra is actually super girly and spends as much time as possible when not on official Avatar business dressing in pink and shopping for dresses and squealing over jewelry.

Not because that's what I want from the character, but just because I wanna see if we could produce such a simultaneous headdesking from Tuff Macho Korra fans that you could actually hear the "THOK" all across the North American continent.

>>96201
I'd actually be okay with that. The subversion of having the strong/athletic warrior girl also still be really girly is one that's not seen often enough. It's not like being tough means you also have to be boyish.

I too would like Korra to be comfortable in, say, wearing a dress. I would also like her to not be like Aang and be all 'Avatar responsibility and spirit shit? SIGN ME THE FUCK UP!!'

I may be hoping for too much, though.

SELF HI FIVE

>>96201
You don't understand Korra fandom, at all. If Korra puts on a dress, Yamino will have drawn twenty pics of her looking sexy in it by the end of the episode.

>>96201

>Y'know I can't help but think it would be really hilarious if it turns out that Korra is actually super girly and spends as much time as possible when not on official Avatar business dressing in pink and shopping for dresses and squealing over jewelry.

So Korra would basically be Beth Phoenix? A glamazon? I wouldn't mind that.

But that probably won't happen anyway. Not even Ty Lee was like that in the original series. Sokka was even more fashion conscious than her.

This takes place in a Jazz Age analogue, right?
Flapper dresses flapper dresses oh please please please

>>96210
>You don't understand Korra fandom, at all.

So I don't understand the sheer amount of pics of her generally acting like a diesel dyke?

I mean I enjoy 'em too, I like all the weight-lifting, the pouncing girls, the swaggering around like all she needs is a beer can in one hand and a chopper to lean against to complete the image, I'm just saying it would be funny if it was actually the opposite where she wishes she didn't have to do so much bending and fighting because she's at constant risk of chipping a nail.

>>96212
This hadn't occurred to me, but YES PLEASE.

Also, if they somehow work in some in-universe swing music, I will die of joy.

>>96212
Thirded. And a Flapper hat.

>>96212
>>96214
>>96216
My guess there'll either be flapper dresses, or the modern cheongsam/qipao, since they're pretty much the eastern equivalent.

>It was a revolution in the Chinese society when women began to show their arms and legs when they wore Qipaos. In the past, they were even forbidden to expose their feet. Old-fashioned people were furious about it and some warlords declared that Qipaos and naked models were two evil things that perverted the society.

>However, it didn’t stop women from pursuing fashion. Movie stars and upper-class ladies helped it reach extreme popularity. It became the Chinese women’s daily dress for decades. Women of all ages used to wear it for all occasions.

>>96213
>Damn people for being excited about the possibility of a female main character actually subverting gender stereotypes!

>>96221
It's not really subverting stereotypes for girls in "Masculine" occupations like warriors and martial artists to be presented as "Lad-ettes." It's just embracing a different stereotype.

>>96222
A lad-what?

>>96223
It's not a TV Tropes-original, but they have a writeup: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheLadette

>>96222
>>96225

A trope isn't a stereotype, I hate to say.

>>96222

I'm gonna fanboy/have some faith in Mike and Bryan and say that I highly doubt that Korra's gonna be 100% conformed to the rough and tumble, outdrink you and bang your mom super-aggressive woman. She's probably going to be a lot like Suki and Katara in the sense that she'll conform to some feminine qualities and subvert others, the difference this time being that Korra will ascribe to a higher number of masculine roles/qualities (or perhaps she'll ascribe to more extreme ones or simply different ones) than any other previous character.

I will say this, though. "Lad-ettes" as the term goes are not often the main character of a series. They're usually secondary or side-characters, and going by some franchises, they tend to get killed off. Avatar had what some jackasses critics would call "Girl Power" or "Action Girl" types, but they weren't specifically very masculine. Kim Possible, most of The Sailor Senshi, or the girls of the Teen Titans cartoon would also be examples.

A Lad-ette would probablly be characters like Misato from Evangelion, or Reby from Black Lagoon, (maybe Susan Strong from Adventure Time, I don't know that for sure, I haven't seen her episodes.) I'll worry about more examples later, I don't wanna cheat and go on TVTropes to get a list, but straight out, none of them are main characters, and Legend of Korra's breaking molds in that regard.

>>96227
The stereotype in question isn't just that she would be a lad-ette based on fan concepts, it's that there is a stereotype present in assuming that the fact that she's strong and a warrior would mean she would BE a lad-ette. That is a stereotype, because it presumes that being tough means you're not feminine.

>>96228
Oh, yeah, I really doubt that's how she'll be presented in series. But that's how a lot of the fans are acting based on the concept art. What little I've seen of the leaked episode (mostly just animated GIFs) already paint her as at least a little bit adorkable, which already punctures the lad-ette quality.

>Equalists
>Monarchies
>World with heavy asian influences

So, do you think we're headed to a Democrats vs. Communists thing in this series?

Governments wherein the individual is theoretical equal with the next with their own strengths and weaknesses.

Government systems that have had sizable impacts on the history and national relations of asian countries?

Too crazy?

>>96228
>She's probably going to be a lot like Suki and Katara in the sense that she'll conform to some feminine qualities and subvert others

This, essentially.

Seems you can't satisfy anyone these days. Haters gonna hate Korra for whatever reason they can find. Strong girls with muscles = eww ugly man-hating "diesel dykes"! Make her like girly things too much and "omg Korra y u no drink 50 beers and pimp out your hos?!"

Balance is the key in everything.

>>96235

Unacceptable. Either she sleeps with 50 women in the first episode or she changes her name to Kandy and has a mount made of handbags.

>>96231
I'm sure that there will be heavy parallels between the Communists and the Equalists. I wonder if the other side will end up with someone like Chiang Kai-Shek.

>>96221

Okay, whatever you say.

>>96237
I hope there is a Chiang Kai-Shek, because I think having the people going overboard seeking greater rights for their fellow man being the unequivocal bad guys over the course of two seasons would get awfully staid.

That seems pretty conclusive. Sweet, it seems they decided the risk of complaint from Cameron was worth having the title that makes more sense.

>Also, it is why there is nothing on Nick about the show. They aren't forgetting about it or "trolling" fans; they merely can't show any material on the network without a trademark registered (SDCC is different since it was not on the air and it was a work-in-progress at the time).

I don't get that part: they already do have the "Avatar" trademark (and even have the "The Last Airbender" for the next 20 days).

>>96707
>I don't get that part: they already do have the "Avatar" trademark (and even have the "The Last Airbender" for the next 20 days).
Actually, no.

It's in legalspeak, but Nickelodeon does NOT actually have the rights to Avatar: The Legend of Korra yet.

It's legal status is actually only reserved. Kinda like how you used to be able to reserve a video game from a store for five bucks and then pay the full price on release date.

The point is that the reserve status on The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra is going to expire, meaning that Nick is giving up any claim on that name. While the reserve status for A:LoK has been RENEWED so that they can be given more time to properly file their Statement of Use (the actual copyrighting of the name). The contract is gonna be a thick one probably covering usage for the TV series, comic book spinoffs, toys and other merchandise.

Personally my favorite part was the second guy's descent. I replayed that part twice just to count the number of collisions (6, counting the cord).

I'm in love with the fighting style she's using. It's a perfect blend of bending with a plain old asskicking.

You know, these three benders being gangster types makes me think the anti-benders are kind of an extreme neighbourhood watch made up to defend themselves from the benders that then turned into a full-on movement.

>>96801
There's no reason to assume there's only benders as criminals that only target nonbenders, a community watch type of thing would likely be made up of all of the community including the benders/

SOKKA IS DEAD?
SHOW IS GARBAGE.


...I'm just sayin, Bolin has a lot to live up to :(

Someone one tumblr wrote a quick little Korra/Hunger Games crossover snippet: http://meggannn.tumblr.com/post/15900207620

===========================================


Katniss frowned. “You’re a ben… what?”

“Bender,” the newcomer corrected, giving a tiny smile and a what-can-you-do shrug. “Water, earth, fire, whatever you need.”

“I’m not entirely sure what that means,” Katniss said warily. “Is that like some sort of magic?”

She shook her head. “Not magic. I mean, it’s not science, but it’s like… a manipulation of science. A spiritual practice combined with the physicality of martial arts.”

Katniss was still lost, but decided not to say so to avoid further explanations that she knew she wouldn’t be able to understand. After a two am wake-up call and five-hour train ride into the Capitol, her head was killing her, and she knew that any further attempts at analyzing this strange girl and her companions — “Bolin” and “Mah-ko” — and their strange clothing and weird accents would just add to the thick pounding in her skull.

Korra, she said her name had been. Katniss eyed her baggy pants and heavy boots. She didn’t see how anybody could fight in clothing so bulky, but Plutarch had recommended her with the highest honors after she had apparently taken down twelve ex-Peacekeepers single-handedly while one of her friends collapsed a tunnel on an army of spider-mutts and the other disabled three pods hidden in a pedestrian mall.

She settled with, “Plutarch tells me you’re great at hand-to-hand combat.”

“I guess I’m not bad.”

Katniss sighed. “We’ve got a bunch of Snow sympathizers running around over in District Three. Think you can help us take care of them?”

The new girl smirked. “It’d be my pleasure.”

>mfw that piece of fanart with old Katara and Korra is in the show

Ive watch a few of the leaks, im thinking that I shouldn't watch any more since I might end up ruining the whole first episode for myself.

oh /co/....

I don't know if I want to watch anymore.

Don't get me wrong, I'm loving everything that came out, but I want the first episode to be special. I don't want to watch random disjointed clips.

That being said, if I don't keep up with the spoilers, then someone on +/a/ or /co/ is bound to say something, and I'll get spoiled anyway.

dammit...

>the creators' faces when they are leaking their own stuff 

>>96819

Indeed.

I find it highly coincidental that hours after Nick airs the commercial confirming Korra airs in 2012 the original leaker magically comes out with 3 more clips from the first episode.

And that was after Viacom supposedly found the leakers IP.

Curiouser and curiouser.

>>96821
When Viacom was attempting to sue Google for Viacom clips being uploaded to YouTube illegally a few years back, Google revealed that many of the clips had actually been posted by plants from Viacom themselves, presumably to drum up interest, so they could have their cake and eat it too. So this wouldn't be the first time Viacom had tried to pull a double bluff like this.

>>96856
I do.
Since I don't live in the USA I'm not going to see it on tv anyway so it doesn't really make a difference if something is leaked or legit.
I feel a little bad for Bryan and Mike though.

>>96856
I sort of concur?
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it but I don't want the leak to affect the actual air date. I want this series to explode with high ratings just to prove a point to Nick/Paramount about the popularity and staying power the franchise has.

>>96858
>>96857
Same here.
Specially since things at Nick latinamerica tend to come a year after.
I try to compensate for it by buying related merchandising and the series on DVD.

>>96856
Given that I watched the Boiling Rock when it was leaked, rather than wait for the official episode it would be hypocritical of me to object to this episode being leaked. Hopefully the leak will encourage Nickelodeon to stop releasing Avatar episodes so slowly.

>>96855
Hooray hooray hooray.
Where will it be?

>>96863
On that Winx Club forum he posted the clips on in their video section, so people have to register to see the links.

>>96855

NO NO NO NO FUCK FUCK *FUCK* I THOUGHT THE CLIPS WERE TOO MUCH AS IT WAS.

>>96855
My stance is that if I don't watch it, I'll get spoiled online.

>>96855

I agree. If the airdate were, say, a month or two off, I could avoid all my usual sites and not be spoiled. But it's looking like LoK is maybe nine months off. That's near impossible to avoid being spoiled by other people online, especially since the recent flood of leaks for Korra and the Promise trilogy have made people loosey-goosey about spoilers.

>>96858
People were concerned when the Adventure Time episode with Cake and Fiona was leaked well in advance of the actual air date. And what happened? The episode got massively huge ratings.

For me, I'll watch the episode if it is leaked. I don't get cable. If Nickelodeon offers some way for me to watch the show online within 24 hours of the TV air date, I'll use their option. Otherwise I have no qualms watching leaked and ripped episodes, because I'll pick up every single DVD and soundtrack CD they release.

May I please have a link to this Winx Club site?

Nvm. Forgot that there was a link on all the leaked stuff.

Sokka being dead doesn't surprise me at all for some reason.

Do wonder who else Katara meant, though.

As for the leak, Latinfag, and it's getting hard to wait, so yeah, I don't really mind the leak too much (will probably still wait a bit longer to actually sit and watch it, though).

>>96856
I concur. Make no mistake the DVDs will be grabbed by me as soon as they hit the shelves but I want to maximize the profits for the people making it.

Even taking the same logic as fansubs would mean waiting until they get a chance to broadcast it.

>>96939
>Make no mistake the DVDs will be grabbed by me as soon as they hit the shelves but I want to maximize the profits for the people making it.
It's your choice and all, but watching the leak now doesn't in any way affect the profits they'll eventually make as long as you still buy the DVD / buy the episodes on iTunes / etc.

My concern with the leak is how it will affect the episode's ratings. When The Western Air Temple and The Firebending Masters were leaked* six or seven months ahead of schedule, the episodes had less than a million viewers combined. Compare that to all the other episodes aired that week, which had 4.6 million viewers on average.

*aired in Canada and posted on the internet

>>96943
There's quite a difference between two third season episodes and the SERIES PREMIERE.

95% of the finale was spoiled for everyone when the Sozin's Comet book went viral (and a lot of people got their final DVD a day early) and it apparently got the highest ratings in the show's history. Your logic also doesn't explain how The Boiling Rock Parts 1 and 2 got good ratings when they aired even though they had been out on DVD for three months.

Keep in mind that the entire last half of Book 3 was crammed into five nights with 3.12 and 3.13 airing on the same night. It's more likely they couldn't compete with whatever was on another cable channel during that timeslot.

>>96945
Um, no. The Boiling Rock (3.14 and 3.15) were aired together on Wednesday, and had 4.0 million viewers. 3.12 and 3.13 aired Monday and Tuesday, respectively. I'm willing to bet that people were okay with waiting for those episodes after several months of nothing, and having a set date, than having no return date and just coming off of DoBS.

Also, if you look here: http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2008/07/22/nielsen-ratings-cable-tv-top-20-home-run-for-espn/4507/

All the non-finale eps besides those two were very close to each other, in rank AND number of viewers. In the comments below, the writer says 3.12 and 3.13 weren't even in the top 40.

Shaddap and look at the arts I found

On one hand, I've been dying to see Korra. On the other hand, leaking the full episode does seem to be a bit much, and I would hate for that to affect the ratings for the premier even a little. Not to mention the fact that it would suck waiting so long to see the next episode. What a dilemma.

If it does get leaked, I'll probably do what I did when the S3 episodes were leaked. Download it, but wait to watch it until the day of or the day before it airs on TV. And if some of you here watch it before then and want to discuss it, then I think we should have a separate spoiler thread for that, so everyone who wants to wait doesn't accidentally get spoiled before they see it.

I think that might have been reactionary on our part. The person on the Winx forum claimed that he/she was never sent the full episode, only clips. I can't recall if they claimed to ever release the full episode, or if that was just rumor.

Interesting coincidence.

>>96988
I skimmed through those forums last night and earlier today, and it seems like the leaker is still waiting to get out from under Viacom's radar before releasing the full episode. Personally, I'm starting to hope it doesn't happen. Reading all the demanding, whiny posts from fantards acting like spoiled brats who think they're entitled to something makes me think they should have to wait until it airs like everybody else.

Korra >>>>>> Quorra

Here have some Korra sketches

Official pre-production sketches!

From the artist's comments:

"From the summer of 2010 to the summer 2011, i worked as a part of the animation production of the up-coming Nickelodeon series, AVATAR: THE LEGEND OF KORRA in Seoul, Korea. I was an in-house, storyboard staffer at "STUDIO MIR," the Korean, animation studio responsible for Korra's Animation production.
Here are some rough, early, warm-up personality scribbles i did before starting on the storyboards back then. Fun stuff.

I was part of TEAM 2 staff @ STUDIO MIR which consisted of myself, animator HAN KWANG IL and the incomparable animation monster KIM YOUNG CHAN ( one board artist for each chapter ).

And they said bodacious bender babes like Korra would look bad with a bobcut,

But some guy sure showed them!

Whoa.

>>97089
These are awesome.

The bad thing about this is that the first thing that popped into my head was freakin' Lillith from HIBY 2.0 training in her skimpy outfit. Damn you, Diaz.

>>97089
I love that the artist didn't gloss over her muscles while dolling her up.

This marriage of seemingly opposite concepts is something I find very Umph.

And I hope to see Korra in dresses more often now...

Hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngh

realizing KOrra is eligible for marriage in the water tribe. MILF Korra now!

Damn you Nick and your elaborate time sensitive marketing plans!

>>97247
That elaborate plan no doubt includes controlled leaks leading up to the premiere while pretending that they're annoyed at the leaks.

>>97247
Oh god. Nickelodeon is going to screw fans on air dates, aren't they? I didn't watch Avatar live, but I know S3 was terrible from an air date perspective.

Please don't let this happen with Korra

>>97250
Yeah, I think that a great deal of the lingering disappointment with Season 3 is largely the result of getting overhyped from waiting too long, and waiting too long to resolve things for people to get that rush of steadily rising and finally falling tension at the climax that a serial television series is supposed to give. Season 3 wasn't without its problems, but there wouldn't have been such a backlash against it if it had been delivered in sane intervals.

>>97252
Backlash? Just some people complaining on the internet, most fans loved it.
