Why wouldn't there be? The show is in HD and the Avatar DVDs sold really well IIRC. at the very least, expect 720p versions on itunes.

Have Nick released much BDs for anything?

 

[shira]

Does anyone know if this is going to be available on iTunes?

Shut up and take my money, Nick!

I would pay a high price for the original series in HD.
Does such a thing even exist?

Probably not, but at the very least there is a non-interlaced version somewhere inside the vaults of Nickelodeon.

Very doubtful plus the original series is in 4:3 unfortunately :/ But I'd buy it at a very high price!

Well, There's the films released under the Nickelodeon Movies label...

I don't think Nickelodeon has been airing shows in HD for very long though, so they probably haven't made any BD box sets yet.

Good god, this is amazingly thought out. Will be amazing and really exciting to watch that

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Surprise!

I caved in and watched the first episode.

simply amazing..

That's a disturbing level of detail for something that could easily have been bluffed.

This is amazing. It's like a more regulated version of Smash Bros. If done well, it could make for some really intense action scenes.

 

[CoolS]

It's compelling enough that I would watch a whole episode that only consists of pro bending, and I guess that was their aim. I love how it is a mixture of different sports like with the field gains from football but also the possibility to achieve a knock out like in boxing to turn the whole match around.

Go Fire Ferrets!

Btw, here's some pro-bending vids from not too long ago, since I figure some people from here may not have been watching the old thread:

I hope they make a video game of this... I guess someone other than THQ would handle it this time (ho ho ho!)

Wierd, it looks like only bender of the enemy team is behind the line and yet they still get to advance. Maybe it's cut down?

Ice cold.. I like the idea though

Does anyone have the clip of Amon being a total badass?

I was glued to the screen the whole time. Why something like that is so interesting to me, who knows.

You're good people, Satch.

That is awesome. My only question would be how it handles gaining territory while one of your members is back a lane. Only being able to advance 1 lane at a time would make the most sense, but it's also possible all the members could advance to the newly gained lane regardless of their previous position.

Think its the all members move to the newly gained line since he made a point to tell/show that when you gain territory the line goes green, signaling you to move forward. Id imagine that that means that everyone can cross that green line

i never saw these. my god im in tears lmfao

 

[CoolS]

Watched it again. SOO good.

btw. I don't know if it was in this thread or the other one, but somebody mentioned that always a green car was crashing when Korra and Naga were in the way. I paid attention this time, but it were different cars. Would have been cool though.

In a similar vein, I'd love if there was a popular greengrocer chain in republic city "endorsed by Avatar Aang" that was run by the descendants of the Cabbage Merchant.

I seem to remember that they were planning on some reference to the cabbage guy, though the said he would not make an appearance, so yes, that would be amazing!

Final Villain is Azula's son or Cabbage Merchant's Grandson

"He's earthbending."

"No, he's just moving the earth with air. Totally different."

lololol

It must get destroyed.

Amon is the Cabbage Merchant's grandson. He grew up listening to his grandfather's tales of how the evil benders always destroyed his lovely cabbages and how he was powerless to stop them.

 

[Poyunch]

I get it now. The Fire Nation wanted to make this a national sport but they knew that Pro-bending would have been easily broken if Airbenders existed.

[Wiseblade]

I don't think Azula had kids. In fact, it seems almost impossible to me.

Great, now I kind of want to write a giant block of text about what I thought of Azula after my recent rewatch of A:TLA.

She was in jail, where she could have sex with the cabbageman.

What was he doing in jail? Vigilante justice attempt?

 

[Jintor]

So I wonder if they'll make a pro-bending vidyagame, since that's what the vid seems to have originally been about

It might just be a game for the Nick website. But I guess that still counts.

He got arrested for importing cabbages

they had slugs in them and wrecked the eco system of ba sing se

 

[Violet_0]

pretty okay first episode, now that the world and characters are established we can get to the fun part

 

[GruntOfAction]

Cool to see they named a character after the voice actor of Iroh. :0 Mako.

 

[Supermanisdead]

It was a govt conspiracy to get everyone to move to Republic city.

 

[Ganhyun]

HYPED!! I'll hold off on watching the leaked episode though.

Well the description of the video says it was teach to the korean animation studio about the game so they know how to properly animate it.
