[Ven95]

I just want to know who Dante's character is and what importance he has to the series.

LOK news

its a cast list

'The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra': Exclusive Cast Announcement - Speakeasy - WSJ

[lycorismoon29]

Wow, I only know three people on that cast list.

The guy from the Closer/Juno/Spiderman/a bunch of other movies and shows I like, the old guy...and the Korean guy.

Since the guy from the Closer is going to be Tezin, I'm guessing he is somewhere in his 40s...

Hiroshi Sato will be my favorite character and I know he is a firebender. I KNOW IT.

What happened to Meeko? Was he replaced by Jinora? Or did he transform into Mako (Tsunami...YGO has brainwashed me since I was a child) Or is he just not listed...

Seychelles is Yue from the movie that shall not be named. But she was one thing I liked from the movie so I'm excited to see what Asami is like.

-just wants to know who these people are-

I don't think you should get hyped right now. It will be a long wait for the series and the hype only makes it worse. XD
I'm more interested in what other characters will be in the series (It was nice to see some names at least). I am not too interested in Korra right now for me to get too hyped, maybe when we get more info on her.

With one person, using the formar way of training air benders would be ridiculously hard. XD Although their population can be brought up if Aang or Tenzin had many kids and then they had kids and.... you get the idea after hundreds of years. Aang may have used the 35 level test on Tenzin and Tenzin could have passed it down. We may never know.

After reading this, I'm sure this new advanced civilization will break down that method of learning how to bend and make it a different way.

Although in a change of subject how did they manage to kill all the airbenders in the world? Surely some must have escaped. Oh well... poor air benders.

I would like for them to make a series before The last air bender at some point or a series which isn't about an Avatar. I can dream...

Byrke hinted in their notes that Aang isn't the last one, but he is the only one that is active; and also that being able to bend is a part genetic/part spiritual thing. I'm sure if there are enough light-hearted and free-spirited people (like Teo and his friends and family), airbending will return soon enough.

But on the matter of them being killed; they aren't hard to miss (considering their eye color and demeanor) and they are trained to be detached from the human world, while helping anybody in need. They will offer themselves up in order to protect others, so I imagine most of them died trying to protect somebody.

Get hyped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11!!!

Lol I know it's not much but having this much is enough to fuel the flame in my interest :D

I wonder how everything's gonna change. I'm sure a lot of the firebending methods are different. And like you guys have already said the airbending methods much have changed. But...aren't airbenders extinct (i know they're not cuz of Aang and his offspring) but there wouldn't be enough airbenders to call for a formal training system like they did back when the nomads were alive. :/

Flail with me!

Actually, that whole anti-bending technologically advanced city thing reminds me of this concept from one of those Avatar games for the PS2, where the main antagonist was some mechanist who sought to use machines to replace benders and whatnot. Hmmmm...

I refuse to not be hyped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

call me weird but she intrigues me even though i know little to nothing about this woman.

Although in a change of subject how did they manage to kill all the airbenders in the world? Surely some must have escaped. Oh well... poor air benders.

I'd imagine that despite being free spirited nomads, there regular places were sort of common (like the air temples) and what not, plus the fire nation did kill them by way of ambush. But a few of the nomads could have been out and about and survived in other nations sans the fire, cuz Aang did say he ventured to the other nations and this was before he knew he was the avatar seeing how like a couple days later he runs away.

I would like for them to make a series before The last air bender at some point or a series which isn't about an Avatar. I can dream...

I dunno why but that concept sounds weird to me. :/ I mean I'm sure they can find a way to make it work and even make it pretty awesome but I can't imagine...

Flail with me!

:O *epic flails*

I remember that. I didn't play the game myself but I remember hearing of it. Hmmmm...

[Ven95]

Daniel Dae Kim is on the show?!

As a huge Lost fan this is good news. And he was on the original Avatar show. He played the guy in the first episode of the second season that forced Aang into his Avatar state.

But you could've just posted this in the TLA thread. We were talking about it in there.

[Trukybldemstr2]

I wonder if they are gonna change...because apparently there are more airbenders if Korra is supposed to learn airbending...then again it is the name of the show...

[Relix]

excuse the double post but just a bump

Mistake on my part, it's still only 12 confirmed episodes but they may be pressing for more Latest News:

'The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra:' The Creators Speak

There's also additional things that the Creators answer and talk about.
Korra's 16 or 17ish :O and the original cast will "appear in various ways"
the villain has confirmed to be a male anti-bending revolutionary type guy.

I've said it once I'll say it again...GET HYPED!!!

Talk about badass :3

'The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra': Exclusive First Look - Speakeasy - WSJ

AHHHHH SO MUCH HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~~~~~

-foams from mouth and flails-


EDIT:

Will we find out what happened to Zuko’s mom?
DiMartino: That question will be answered in some way, but not necessarily in the show. That’s all I’ll say.

Lol, it'll totally be in the comic.

I can see where you're coming from, but I just think it would be interesting to see the world before the war started at some point. :)

Lol, it'll totally be in the comic.

Thats just what I thought. XD

Still not too interested in Korra. I get the feeling I'm really going to miss young Aang, but I imagine I will still like Korra in the series.

she’s very tough, very headstrong, not scared to get into a fight, and kind of picks fights with people too sometimes.

Just not my kind of character.

I will get hyped when we actually get closer to the series being aired. I know the pain of hyping too early XD

Do they have to keep mentioning the live action movie. :/

Aang is going to be oooooooooooold. Can you imagine him as an old man, helping Korra out? He has to crack some jokes or I'll be sad. D: I'm very interested in LoK but it's bittersweet with TLAB cast being... dead.

I'm excited for a complete departure from Aang, just because then it'll show they're not writing the same characters again. Hopefully Korra will show a soft spot and this show will gain great ratings so they'll have a longer series. I don't have cable, I can't help the ratings. ;___;

ALSO, I know right? Drop the stupid LA movie.
But every time they ask them I love the, "uh" and obvious "no-excitement" they have for the LA film.

I really can't imagine old Aang to tell the truth. Bye bye Sokka with your sarcasm and meat obsession. Bye Toph with your blindness and ruffness. Bye Zuko with your dorkiness and hot headed ways. Bye Katara with your motherly yet kind spirited heart. Bye Momo and Appa with your greatness. At least Aang will make some sort of appearance for sure. Bye Uncle iroh with your tea loving. D:
Hello characters I know nothing about at the moment.

New characters are always fun to get to know. ;D However many fans will probably compare them to Airbender series characters which could be a problem. The new war in the Avatar fandom. Airbender vs Korra to take the place of Kataang vs Zutara. XD Although I hope there isn't too much romance in the new series.

Yes, you can just feel the awkwardness when those questions come up. XD
They really just want to skip them and never hear about the movie again.

FLAIL WITH ME!!!!!!! -flails-

<3 yeah I know what you mean. I'd have loved to here more about Kuzon too seeing how he would have been present during the whole start of the war and the whole adjusting to hating other nations :P

Idk why but I love Korra's character description so far. those characters have always interested me. the hot head, trigger happy, trouble maker but also the good guy who does the right thing at the end of the day.

[White-Light]

This place is filled with so much flailing XD

I also just want a better view of the air benders as well. ^^ I think I've had enough earth kingdom for now isn't ot the place the majority of the series was set?
Maybe see the sourthern water tribe a bit more before it was turned into well what it is now. (A very small makeshift village)
I also wanted to see Kuzon in flashback in the Airbender series, why didn't it happen. T_T Just one tiny flashback or maybe seeing Aang's friends reaction to him disappearing. At least Bumi got to see him again. :D

Generally for me its when a character is described as Hot headed, fiesty and rebelious is the point when alarm bells go off in my head that I might not like the character a lot. XD I like the opposite... Aang. ;P I will still wait until we see Korra before passing any judgements on her, who knows I may end up loving her to pieces.
