also that demon "ko" or w/e its name was super creepy.
The faceless demon?
Yeah he was pretty creepy, lol.

unrelated: how 'bout that combustion man? since were talking a bit about techs in the show, and weird or convenient things in general, wasnt bending with his face/forehead a bit wtfz?. i wonder what other sort of weird things they could fit in the avatar universe, such as waterbending with feet,

or weirder stuff
I always wondered about him too.
And they never even explained what was up with him.
Pretty annoyed about that, actually.

god this conversation is making me love avatar more and more

hahahah

i mean, these powers are really simple, but the thought and creativity that can go behind them is endless. i mean, this is real world nature that the benders deal with. it's not crazy or wonky stuff, and there's not too much variety, like what we see in other super power comics like x-men and other marvel stuff, or manga like naruto and one piece

just 4 elements

and how the avatar masters nature and integrates them all, since they are all basically one in the same. (shoutouts to particle physics + chemistry)

Hm, so after visiting the wiki page...seems like this show isn't due to air until mid 2012...that's just great. Though they said they plan to make it darker with an addition of "cheesy teen romance".

btw, the few pics of Korra...she looks like she's been hitting the gym. Wouldn't wanna mess with her.

I never considered that "Combustion Man" was bending with his forehead... That's...interesting.

Well if it isnt bending what else could it be?
I'm trying to think of any other special cases like him throughout the show and I can't come up with anything.
Ty lee is the closest thing but her powers had to do with chi and that had a somewhat prominent role in the series even without her.

I love the physical fighters. Jet, Mai, Ty Lee

Zuko/Azula were beasts without bending too

Sokka got decent, but he never did anything sweet

I liked Jet's style of fighting A LOT, now that I think about it. He was very fluid, and very dynamic. Mai was kinda....stationary-ish, if that makes any sense. Ty Lee was pretty beast, too, though.

So apparently Korra might be delayed until 2013. :(
I am not happy about this.

I haven't been able to find any explanation as to why. :U
It's not time restrictions or anything though because they've apparently already finished all of the episodes.

That soon, and they're thinking about releasing them in 2013? I don't think Nickelodion is very wise, especially with so many people aware of Legend of Korra.

I also hear that none of the original characters from The Last Airbender will be returning, save for maybe flashbacks.

If they really are delaying it I doubt it's because of something in their control. :/

Also that's likely the case.

***SPOILERS***.......kinda

A character will be named Mako in memory of Iroh's original VA.

Another will played by the VA that voiced Zuko who will have some kind of resemblance to Zuko.

2013???¿? Too long of a wait. Also, I always hoped to see Zuko, Katara, Sokka, Suki, Toph, etc. In the White Lotus group in the newest series.


Edit: Well... they'd be a bit too old... I can't imagine King B. Being younger then 100 personally...

Edit more: wait, 100 years, Aangs childhood friend, so, living over 100 is easy.

99% sure the actual production is done though.
As far as I know there's no solid reason for the delay yet.

Maybe...I dunno. It seems like an abnormally long wait...maybe it's something at the corporate level?

Its been delayed till 2012, not 2013. Whoever told everyone that little detail is horribly wrong and needs to get their facts straight...

Probably.

Most people are gonna lose interest if it gets delayed longer than like, summer of next year though. So they better hurry it up. :mad079:

Nah, multiple sources have said it might be delayed until 2013. And a staff member has said it's been delayed because of "special projects" or something like that, but didn't give an exact date. Really the release date right now could be anything from early 2012 to sometime in 2013.

We'll just have to wait for an official announcement I guess.

I wonder how people assumed so much over a might? Its definitely coming out in 2012. It was delayed cuz of them putting in a 2nd season. If its delayed all the way to 2013 then they better have about 5 seasons ready for broadcast...

That might be another reason for delay, but its only a might. If they're really gonna delay it that far they'd immediately announce it instead of keeping us in the dark. Then again...

Maybe there throwing in a 1 hour movie, showing Aang getting older, Korra being born, Aang dieing, what Sokkas doing, Iroh, Zuko, etc. THAT'S what I wanna see.

That was the first delay, lol. But there are talks about a second one. The first one is pretty common knowledge. If that didn't happen then it'd be airing right now.

Of course it'd be airing right now if there wasn't a delay. What I was also saying is that if it is being delayed till 2013, they'd make an official announcement about it. If we don't hear something soon, they'll probably break the news next year then.

All I want to know is whether or not zuko finds his mother. The other stuff should be left the way they were.
