The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra

 

 

 

The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra (originally titled Avatar: The Legend of Korra) is an upcoming American animated television mini-series that is expected to air on Nickelodeon in 2012. The mini-series is a sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender, which aired on the same network from 2005 to 2008, and will run for 26 episodes. It will take place in the same fictional universe as the original show. The world is influenced by a multitude of cultural and ethnic elements which are heavily influenced by Asian and Inuit cultures. In it people may have the supernatural ability to manipulate either water, earth, fire, or air. There is one person known as the Avatar, who maintains balance between the four nations and is the only person who can bend all four elements. Korra, the hotheaded independent protagonist of the series, is the next incarnation of the Avatar after Aang from the original series. Set at least 70 years after the defeat of Phoenix King Ozai and Princess Azula in the series finale of the original show, creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko plan to follow Korra as she learns Airbending while facing an anti-bender revolution.

 

 

The series will focus on Korra, a teenage female protagonist from the Southern Water Tribe and the current incarnation of the Avatar, who, according to the president of Nickelodeon, will be "hotheaded, independent, and ready to take on the world." She has already mastered the elements of Water, Earth, and Fire, but needs to master Air. The character was partly inspired by Avatar Kyoshi of the original series, whom the creators say was very popular among fans. In order to avoid repetition of Aang's adventures, the creators wanted to root the show in one place, called Republic City, a steam-punk style metropolis where people of all nations, benders and non-benders, live together. A concept drawing of the city, released with the announcement of the series, shows the city's design as inspired by Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s, Hong Kong, Manhattan, and Vancouver. In the show, Korra will have to learn Airbending from master Tenzin, son of Avatar Aang and Katara, and contend with an anti-bender revolution taking place in Republic City. The final design of Korra was revealed at the 2011 San Diego Comic Con, along with her Animal Guide, who will be a Polar Bear Dog.

It was announced at the annual Comic-Con in San Diego on July 22, 2010 that a series based on Avatar: The Last Airbender is currently in development at Nickelodeon and due for release sometime in November 2011. It will involve Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the creators and producers of the original series.[ Tentatively titled "Avatar: Legend of Korra", it was intended to be a twelve-episode mini series that takes place in the same fictional universe as the original show, except seventy years later. Recently it has been announced that an additional 14 episodes have been ordered, bringing the total episode count to 26.

 

The show is expected to be darker and more mature than the original show; however, the creators are not attempting to target a new audience, intending to balance mature themes with a sense of fun and adventure. Furthermore, there will be some "cheesy teen romance" for the main character, Korra. The creators also confirmed that they will personally write all of the episodes, explaining that, as a mini-series, filler episodes will be omitted, allowing for a "really tight" and "cool" story. Joaquim Dos Santos and Ryuki Hung, who worked on the animation and design of the original series, will also be involved in this show, as well as storyboarder Ian Graham. Furthermore, Jeremy Zuckerman, who composed the soundtrack for the original series as part of "The Track Team", will also be returning to score "Legend of Korra".

 

Dante Basco, voice actor of Prince Zuko in the first series has confirmed his return to the series. He has confirmed via Twitter that he is voicing a different character than Zuko, but that character is related to Zuko in some way. Basco also confirmed that one of the episodes is currently titled "Skeleton in the Closet". Similarly, Dee Bradley Baker has confirmed that he will also return to the series, voicing several animals and humans. He also called the series "The Journey of Korra", though it is unknown if that will be a potential title. Rob Paulsen has confirmed that he and Eva Marie Saint will both voice characters in the series, although Paulsen's role will be relatively minor. Richard Epcar is also confirmed to be portraying a character.

The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra (voorheen aangekondigd als Avatar: The Legend Of Korra) is een geplande Amerikaanse animatieserie, die op dit moment in ontwikkeling is en op Nickelodeon zal worden uitgebracht in november 2011. De serie is een vervolg op Avatar: De Legende Van Aang. Volgens de planning zal het een miniserie worden die zich afspeelt in hetzelfde universum als de vorige serie, 70 jaar nadat Vuurheer Ozai is verslagen en de oorlog met de vuurnatie is beëindigd. Dit werd bekend gemaakt tijdens de jaarlijkse Comic-Con in San Diego op 22 juli 2010.

De serie zal zich richten op Korra, een tiener en de huidige incarnatie van de Avatar, die volgens de voorzitter van Nickelodeon een "driftig, onafhankelijk, en ready to take on the world" type is. Ze heeft de elementen water, aarde en vuur al onder de knie, maar moet luchtsturen nog aanleren. Het personage is gedeeltelijk geïnspireerd door Avatar Kyoshi uit de originele serie.

 

Om herhaling van Aangs avonturen te vermijden, besloten de makers een nieuwe stad genaamd Republic City te introduceren waar het gehele verhaal zich af zal spelen. De stad is gemodelleerd naar het Sjanghai, Hongkong, Manhattan, New York en Vancouver van de jaren 1920 en 1930. In de show zal Korra het luchtsturen leren van Meester Tenzin: de zoon van Aang en Katara. Tevens krijgt ze te maken met mensen die het sturen van de elementen willen verbieden. Jeremy Zuckerman, componist van de originele serie, heeft ook bevestigd dat hij terug zal komen om de nieuwe serie weer te componeren.

Niet eens een kleine bedankje hé eikel. :D:mrgy:

[Stefan]

Eerste ep gelekt! Volgende maand pas live in Amerika, nu op internet. Wel kut kwaliteit, maar het is echt leuk. Gelukkig gewoon hetzelfde sfeertje.

[Stefan]

Oh het was geen lek. Een promotieactie waardoor de eerste twee eps vrijgegeven zijn. Piratenbaai ze maar als je ze wilt zien. Het is nu al een hele goede serie, sluit mooi aan op de vorige.

[Technisch]

Ik heb de afgelopen 4 weken The Last Airbender gekeken en ga vanavond beginnen met ep1 van de nieuwe. Erg veel zin in! :)

[Stefan]

Toppie. 6 is beste aflevering tot nu toe, 5 slechtste. Over het algemeen wel gewoon top.

[LosMerengues]

Sorry Stefan. :oops:

[Technisch]

Heb net ep 6 gezien, bazenserie hoor. :< Wel kut dat je nu weer moet wachten op de volgende. :(

[LosMerengues]

Het begint echt vet te worden. Die Emong is echt een baas man.

[Stefan]

Amon? :p

Heet die zo? Ben echt benieuwd wat zijn geschiedenis is.

 

[spoiler=spoiler]Vind het wel jammer dat Tarlock nu al 'uitgeschakeld' is.

 

[Divad]

Ik volg deze serie ook. Hele leuke serie, Pabu is echt enorm schattig ^^ Verheug me op de season finale!

[Alessandro]

Ik ben benieuwd naar Korra in 'Avatar state'. Dat zal waarschijnlijk [tekst]gebeuren als Amon haar bending weg wil halen[/tekst].
