love that art.
Sokka went from looking the lamest to looking pretty cool
zuko's haircut is hideous
they're channeling too much Dimartino into aang's design with that ugly ass chin strap beard
katara looks lame as always
toph looks like toph, meh.
Hope Konietzko or Dossantos puts both those posters up on their blogs.

I bet Toph would be able to tell where a sword is stuck in the ground, if Sokka really wanted it back.

I plan to go into Book 2 as fresh as reasonably possible, but it'd feel wrong if I didn't post here a little.
Book 2: Spirits, eh? Everybody guess it already, but it's a direction I'm excited to see the show go in. The spirit world was largely untouched in TLA, so there's definitely a lot of potential there.
Even though Book 2 is only two episodes longer, I hope there's a lot more time spent on developing characters. It would be a huge detriment to the series for Bryke to rely on the microscopic development the Bending Bros. got in Book 1 and not go any further. I also really hope that Asami remains as a core member of the cast. She's too good to put on a bus.

more like suki dumped him for zuko. zuki 4 ever.
no way zuko went back to ba sing se to find jin
Are you suggesting Lin is the daughter of Sokka? Because that would make Lin's relationship with Tenzin, the son of Katara, awkward.

we all know jin ended up with iroh
hmm close enough for me
unless ursa was secretly living in ba sing se and iroh found her

Aang looks like shit, but everyone else looks pretty damn awesome!
Yea so looking at the designs again and more closely. Mako's definitely the worst as I'm not sure what it's supposed to be other than a skirt, not to mention the waistline goes way too high making it look like something a grandpa would wear, while the rest have this early Industrial design going on. Tenzin however is pretty bad as it's like a never ending cloakfest. Man must use his airbending to cool off.

........yet. phoenix king bolin???
Wouldn't that mean Tenzin and Lin are cousins?
Bolin will settle down with Asami and shit will be chill. But before that he will step out of his brother's shadow and make his own mark.
i want to get to know the new Team Avatar, out from under the shadow of the old Team Avatar. i guess i just want them to forge their own fresh path in this new setting.
i never cared enough about the first Team Avatar to ever want them to show up in LoK though tbh
It has never been explicitly stated that cousin-lovin' is taboo in the Avatar world. LOOPHOLE!
"Pair the spares", goody, just to make the romance angle of Korra even more clichéd. It's the area dragging down the rest of the show.
It doesn't seem to be in Foggy Swamp at least
Oh great, more fan service. My least favorite part of Korra was how much it relished in bringing back stuff from A:TLA.
Now we are going to see them again?
PJ Byrne said Bolin was getting another love interest
You being a WW fan, you should know how shitty love interests can get.
heh
we have people complaining that it wasnt enough like TLA
and then people that complain that it stuck too close to it
im going to give them props for attempting to be fresh
And this is why we weren't on the same page when it came to the LoK. I see now.
I just hope that if Mako MUST be Korra's love interest, they can introduce some personality traits beyond "love interest" and "firebender" (which is not really a personality trait)
It's exactly the same problem that Smallville faced, where the writers were completely obsessed with a love interest that was entirely uninteresting, despite having a more entertaining and likeable alternative right there in the series already. Instead they treat the more interesting/entertaining alternative like a joke and shove the dull love interest down your throat, which damages the show as a whole.
Now it's not as bad as that; Mako is not as prominent or show devouring as that, but it's the same kind of situation. I'm tired of these characters made to be love interests and nothing more.
