[[WMG: Team Avatar will find a way to counter Chi-Blocking techniques from the Gaang's muggle pupils. A cure for Amon's Energybending will also be found]]
Actually this has already been discovered by the last series and might even be a Chekov's Gun, if not this time round than maybe Season 2. Sokka's frequent [[FacePalm Face Palming]] made his head immune to Chi Blocking by Ty Lee, not to mention how he managed to dodge all her moves at Ba Sing Sae. And Suki's clearly developed the martial arts technique to fend of Ty lee's chi blocking attacks. Nothing has worked better against the Chi Blockers close quarters style of combat. Now here's how it goes. Ty Lee joining the Kyoshi warriors would have taught them all about Chi-Blocking's secrets, but Suki and co. would have also gone on counter attacks to render the Chi blocking ineffective. Surely they must have taught the art to their students.

And while we're at that, I'm guessing that Aang's son Bumi has learnt how to Energybend from Aang and might actually know how to restore a person's bending, because it appears that the secret to being able to bend or not is all about manipulating the energies in people's systems. He'll probably make and appearance sooner or later to help Tenzin and Team Avatar out. Bonus points if he also learnt from Sokka and Suki and knows how to make the body immune to Chi Blocking.

One day, Zuko decides to see what happened with Lee and his family. By this point, many years had passed and Lee has his own children and/or grandchildren, Amon being one of them. For whatever reason, a fight starts between Zuko and someone else, and a few stray fireballs catch the farm on fire and hit Amon in the face. With almost everyone dead from the fire, and a child writhing in pain from having his face burned off, Zuko enters a [[HeroicBSOD Heroic BSOD]] and then flees. After years of shame and guilt, Zuko finally decides that the world needs a new Firelord and steps down. However, unable to just do nothing after so many years of working towards peace, and to atone, Zuko travels the world as an ambassador for peace.

Well what else can we possibly name it? It appears that Korra hasn't had sufficient time to complete her spiritual development yet with more than half of season 1 over. And villains don't pop out of thin air. It takes some time for them to come up with their plans and start operations. And we might expect to see Tenzin's 4th child by then, who might turn out to be a non-bender.

Because it is not actually bending the metal directly, but rather the effect of bending the impurities of earth within the structure of the metal. As industrial processing becomes more advanced, the quality of the finished metal will improve to a point where impurities will be virtually eliminated and it becomes impossible to metalbend it. Since earthbenders can bend coal, they probably will be able to bend steel as well because carbon is a key ingredient in steel manufacturing (though there is some doubt over what exactly is the element that Earthbenders are able to bend, whether it's raw carbon, silicon or silicates, whatever). What if new metals or alloys are introduced that do not contain traces of raw earth (gold, platinum, titanium, aluminum or any other modern alloy)? It would be impossible to metalbend it. It might mean that metalbending could turn into an endangered art. Bonus points if Amon has already figured this out and uses this to his advantage.

* Just a little thing: steel is still the most common industrial metal, and as you say, its strength ''relies'' on its carbon content, that is to say, impurities. It doesn't matter if more pure alloys are introduced (though most of them still have some level of impurities in them), since most stuff will still be made of steel, since no other metal duplicates its functions perfectly.

All of these Crimes could well have occurred at the same time period (about a decade beforehand as mentioned by Lin Bei Fong with regards to Mrs Sato being killed) as Bolin and Mako would have been children at this time, and Amon may well have been in his teens.

[[WMG: Amon being replaced as the main villain for Season 2 is only MetaphoricallyTrue.]]
In fact by the end of Season 1 he will be unmasked, and his true identity will be revealed, along with his true motivations. This will significantly change the way the audience and the characters will view him, and alter his dynamics as an antagonist, thus, for all thoughts and purposes, making him a different villain.

[[WMG: Mako/Bolin's parents, Sato's wife, and (supposedly) Amon's family were all murdered by the same Firebender, who may become the Major Villain of Season 2]]

It seemed odd to me that for the trauma in the pasts of four of the shows most important characters, the perpetrator was in each case a firebender despite Republic city being extremely diverse and with a large population of Earth/Waterbending criminals as well as firebenders.

These are not just some minor incidents, they are major backstory events for the main characters which will likely be further explored in the future, likely with episodes dedicated to the identity(s) of the killer. Thus it would make perfect sense from a story perspective to have one sole "Evil firebender murderer" character rather than three benders and three suspiciously similar "backstory/revenge" episodes.

**My guess is that Bolin is going to die. Mako's death, while sad, would not have the EmotionalTorque [[{{Woobie}} Bolin's]] death would. Allow me to present a scenario that will give him a HeroicSacrifice even as they KillTheCutie: The Krew is running away from the bad guys and all but Bolin make it through the SlowDoors. Mako and Korra try to find a way to get him out but Bolin insists that they run away while they still can. Mako will reply with a BigNo. Bolin will calmly thank Mako for always looking out for him and say that it's time to return the favor. Rocks fall from the ceiling, cueing Korra to pull a BSOD Mako away to safety. Bolin's last request will be that look after Pabu as he gives them a thumb's up and GoOutWithASmile. Once Mako and Korra are gone, he'll go back into GameFace mode when the bad guys finally catch up and kill him off-screen (because it's still a kid show). If he ''doesn't'' die, at the very least he'll become BrainwashedAndCrazy. If anyone can think of a more heartbreaking plausible death scene for Mako, I'm all ears.

Her attitude is obviously a fight first, talk later one. Once she finally establishes spiritual communication with Aang (and come on, she will) he will teach her that fighting won't solve everything, and she'll make massive inroads towards true bender/non-bender equality like putting a non-bender on the council or something. Of course, the finale needs an epic fight, so once this completely undermines Amon's extremist policies and he loses support, he'll go berserk and we'll see him one-on-one against Korra. Or maybe he'll pilot that giant mecha and the City's only hope is Korra going into the Avatar state.

** Yeah, I think this ties in with the idea that the second season will be Book Two: Energy. Before elemental bending existed, Energybending was the only sort of bending that existed; it could make sense than benders only came into existence from people energybending themselves and others; but somewhere along the way they lost the knack. So I think at the end of the first season every major bending character will have lost their abilities, and Korra slowly begins to give them back as she masters Energybending.

This WMG adds to the previous one, where it was guessed that the man in the flashback is an older Ozai. Now, suppose that Ozai learned the technique of energybending when Aang used it on him, but he couldn't use it to get his bending back. However, he could still use it to take bending away from others. He broke away from prison, went to Republic City and started the Equalist movement, who were at first only a small group of fanatics. Ozai wanted to have revenge on Aang, but he knew Aang was powerful enough to resist his energybending. So he decided he would take away the bending of someone close to Aang as a way of getting to him. My guess is that it was either Aang's son Bumi (he's said to be a non-bender, but who knows whether he was born that way?), or Toph (if taking away one's bending is cruel to begin with, it's even crueler when that person is blind and uses bending to "see"). What Ozai did got Aang so angry that he ''killed'' Ozai, and that is what see in the flashbacks. The reason this episode in Republic City history isn't common knowledge is because everyone present kept quiet about it, partially because of Aang's shameful act, partially because they didn't want Ozai to become a martyr for the Equalists. However, Ozai had already taught energybending to a disciple called Amon, who became his successor as the leader of the Equalists. It's even possible Amon is a son of Ozai, sired after he broke away from prison. If that's the case, then Amon's story of a firebender killing his family is somewhat true: the firebender was Aang.

[[WMG: Lightningbenders will be called to serve in the Republic City Police en masse, and Mako will join in.]]
The Equalists have established electricity as their primary weapon against Benders. The police force will need effective ways to counter this weapon, and turn it against its wielders. Lightningbenders can absorb and redirect the current, making it a liability for the Equalists. We've seen that Mako can do Lightningbending, and he's going to need a new job, now that the Championship Tournament has been lost, and Pro-Bending Arena is likely to remain closed for the time being, due to a national crisis. Plus, he definately wants to help Korra against Amon. Bolin might try and learn Metalbending too, for the same purpose.

[[WMG: Amon will be a martyr, and Korra will run away, just like Aang.]]
Amon didn't take away Korra's bending back in The Voice In The Night because he doesn't want Korra to be a martyr, because it would damage his cause greatly. But what if he, in an ironic twist, sacrifice him self and made himself a martyr? It's certainly something someone like him will do. It would be the perfect end for the first season. What other way to end it except having the whole world against you?

We may even see Korra run away from Republic City, even if there's still people who trusts her. My guess she'll go to the southern water tribe and go to Katara. It will bring the series to a full circle, but everyone wants a happy ending, right?

[[WMG: Amon doesn't actually have the ability to permanently take bending away.]]
No one's actually seen the long-term effects of Amon's chi-blocking. For all we know, he just temporarily takes bending away and the gang members at the demonstration were killed soon afterwards. The result is a city full of benders who fear the Equalists.
* It's entirely possible. When Aang utilized Spiritbending in the series finale of TLA, he pressed upon two specific chakra on Ozai's body: his heart and his head. The heart chakra deals with love and is blocked by one's guilt. In accessing Ozai's spirit through that chakra, Aang could have made him feel guilt from the hurt he and his forefathers put upon the world with their war(this could be why Ozai seems to be brooding the whole time afterward). This act then sealed Ozai's Air chakra, while Aang's simultaneous sealing of his Thought chakra ultimately removed his ability to bend through actual manipulation of Ozai's soul. As for Amon, his method of bending removal involves him deliberately(seen with how he methodically turns Zolt around to access his neck) paralyzing his opponent through a pressure point strike and then simply sealing their Thought chakra. The difference here is that Amon's method merely ''blocks'' bending, meaning that such attacks could be healed if Korra ever learns Spiritbending herself, while Aang's method outright ''removes'' one's ability to bend.

[[WMG: Amon and Tarrlok are working together.]]
* Episode 4: Korra sets out for Memorial Island with Tarrlok informing Tenzin, after she's left, that he had airships of Metalbenders sitting above the island ready to strike if anything went wrong. Korra's later captured, dragged off, puts up a bit of a fight, but is ultimately restrained and scared out of her wits by Amon's ability to end her so easily. And he gets more than enough time to monologue at length about how he's going to save his defeat of her for later and then use her defeat to ultimately break benders as a whole. Where was the SWAT team this whole time? The only time we see any of Korra's allies afterward is when she's knocked out, for some period of time, and Tenzin runs in to find her unconscious. And even then, he's not accompanied by Metalbenders or Tarrlok. So what gives? Either Tarrlok held back those metalbenders to allow Amon to strike at Korra without harrassment, or he lied to Tenzin(cloudly night, after all, and we never saw those airships) in order to keep Tenzin from following her over and possibly interfering with Amon. This would fit perfectly with Tarrlok's personality: He worked with the leader of the Anti-Benders in order to give himself more and more power(after all, he's now leading an almost SS-esque hit squad loyal only to him) to the point where he, ultimately, will become Dictator of Republic City.
** And he likely enticed Amon with the deal by making sure he would get him Tenzin and his children, the only four (aside from Korra and the maybe the unborn child) people who can airbend, in exchange to make sure he can get more power. Knowing Tarllock, he would be delighted getting rid of his rivals.
*** It's also likely that Tarrlok thinks that he's the ManBehindTheMan, with Amon as his [[TheDragon dragon]]. Later in the series, however, Amon will off Tarrlok and take complete control of Republic City. This could then prompt the Krew to have to travel to other nations(that way we get to see the development of the Fire Nation, Earth Kingdom, and Northern Water Tribe) in an effort to raise an army to take Republic City back.
** Episode 6 makes this even more likely. He's the first to give in when Chief Beifong insists that the pro bending finals take place, and he gives in way to easily for someone who was truly against it. He seems thrilled when she says she'll take full responsibility for the safety of the attendees, as if he knows she'll fail and thus lose support among the cityfolk. And sure enough, the Equalists show up prepared to fight metalbenders.
** And honestly, Korra proved back in episode 3 that it's not that hard to find Amon if you want to, so surely Tarrlok would have been able to catch him if he were applying himself.
*** It's also possible that the Equalist base they raided in episode 4 was based on information given by Amon, who was willing to sacrifice a few followers to improve Tarrlok's image.

[[WMG: Tarrlok will seize control of Republic City.]]
Whether he is really working with Amon or not, Tarrlok will eventually see his chance to stage a coup and seize control of Republic City from the Council, blaming everything on the Equalists. Subsequent seasons will have Korra and her friends trying to fight both Tarrlok and the Equalists.

[[WMG: The statue of Aang will get blown up at some point.]]
Most likely during the DarkestHour before the season/series finale.
** Possible that Korra's DestructiveSaviour tendencies will play in that destroying a good portion of Republic City and restoring it from scratch might be what they need too. Perhaps Aang's rebuilt statue will include one for Korra too.
** That statue is the size of a Skyscraper. It would take something ''huge'' to blow it up. Any ideas?
*** A FreezeFrameBonus in the first episode implies Amon is working on a giant steampunk robot.

[[WMG: Something about the series will go unanswered by the end.]]
Hey, at the end of the day Mike and Brian are sitting on one Hell of a cash cow, and if they can keep it going through suspense and a rabid fanbase more power to them. Besides, we all want to see that Mad-Max style earthbender series, right? They have plenty of unanswered questions aren't necessary to the plot to choose from already:
* Who's Lin's Daddy
* Who killed Mako&Bolin's parents?
* What happened to Hasook?
* How did Korra tame Naga?
* Who gave Sato his once-in-a-lifetime loan?
* Who the Hell is Yakone?
* How is Amon taking away people's ability to bend?
* AND WHY DOES TARRLOK SMELL LIKE A LADY? WE DEMAND ANSWERS!


[[WMG: Tahno will have his bending taken away by Amon...]]
Then he will go through a HeroicBSOD (Or Villanous?) and then join Korra's Krew.
* Partially confirmed. Tahno is shown to lose his bending.
* Confirmed as of And The Winner Is...

[[WMG: The show will run four seasons]]
The book names will be Air, Metal, Blood, and Spirit, each chronicling a style of bending Korra has yet to learn.
* Jossed since Mike & Bryan made it clear they're only doing two seasons.
** Not just yet...there's that option to renew.
* Metal and blood are specific forms of earth and water bending respectively. They don't count as separate styles. This leaves Air and Spirit, which is exactly as long as the show has been confirmed to continue.

[[WMG: Amon will be Korra's energybending master.]]
* Unlikely unless future episodes go to great lengths to establish Amon as an AntiVillain, and justify why [[RedemptionEqualsDeath Redemption]] [[AvertedTrope Doesn't]] [[RedemptionEqualsDeath Equal Death]] for him.
* If Aang learned how to energybend thanks to touching his Anahata and Ajna, shouldn't Amon or any other teacher be dismissed after the first class? Then again, since the Anahata is near Korra's boobs, maybe it will tke longer to learn, lest he look like a perv.
** Just speculating but maybe energy bending is has less to do with just knowing wheere to touch than being one the right spiritual level. Maybe since Aang, who as an airbender would already have been very spiritual, was the avatar, he possessed the ability to get to the right state spiritually to energybend. It remains to be seen how actually spiritual Amon is, but maybe he could have get there, too, and if he didn't, then that would just be more proof that his enegrybending is fake.

[[WMG: Amon will somehow momentarily cut off '''everyone's bending'''.]]
It's not impossible. The original series' season finale already established that a mere human can cause much damage to the world. Zhao killed '''the moon.''' I mean, everyone certainly can live without bending, it won't be great, but they'll eventually accept it in time. We did great without bending abilities. But the moon? I don't think there's anyway the world could have withstand such thing. Furthermore, Zhao could have killed '''the ocean''' (but even Zhao realized how crazy that is.)

[[WMG: Team Avatar will fight the Metalbender Cops in order to protect the Equalists.]]
Our heroes will come to learn that not every Equalists is an Amon-level creep, just like there were good people fighting under Ozai's banner. Afterward there will come a point where Chief Beifong's officers will attempt to crack down on the Equalists, and their overly wide net is going to round up some people who don't deserve to be arrested. Korra will attempt to stand up to this injustice, at first non-violently, having learned from her first run-in with the law, but after something bad happens -- the cops get too rough, someone throws a punch, whatever -- the situation will escalate. At that point Korra will jump in and forcibly defend the Equalists, but end up at the center of a battle royale where extremists on ''both'' sides try to attack her. It'll be a special moment in Republic City's history: bender and non-bender band together to take on the Big 'A'. It'll also earn Korra some street cred with the Equalist rank-and-file.
* I was setting an episode to record and the description talked about Korra getting pulled into a '''violent''' scheme to get rid of the Equalists.

[[WMG: The mayor (or president) of Republic city will be a main character.]]
Only instead of being predictably evil or corrupt he'll be on Korra's side in wanting the anti-bending revolt to die down. He'll either be comically ineffective at all but passing laws or [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold a tough military man who deeply cares about his city]], or maybe both. Is it too late to guess Meelo will be his son?
* Meelo has already been confirmed to be Tenzin's son.
* Considering 1920s China really did have a president who was so corrupt and incompetent he triggered a Communist revolution, it's not really farfetched at all to have Republic City's leader (or her) turn out to be a PresidentEvil. It's too early to tell, but Lin Beifong's metalbending force could ''easily'' be far more dictatorial and oppressive than it appears. Clearly, the city isn't doing so well, what with all the homelessness.
** If the requirement for employment as an officer of the law is that you ''must'' be a metalbender, that's an institutionalized FantasticCasteSystem right there, unintended consequence or not.
** We've seen plenty of policemen who aren't the metalbending cops. Those appear do the the equivalent of a SWAT team.

[[WMG: Tensions in the United Republic Council will come to a head, and directly stem from issues of representation]]
The Council is a NotSoOmniscientCouncilOfBickering that will soon become AHouseDivided, perhaps even to the point of BloodOnTheDebateFloor. Lets see what complaints we could theoretically level at the Five-Person Council, the sort of issues they and those they serve might snipe about behind closed doors. At least three of the Council Members are Benders, once again marginalizing a majority nonbender populace and stoking Equalist suspicions of a FantasticCasteSystem. The Four Nations are represented, but what about Republic City as an entitity unto itself? Tenzin has too much influence as head of a micronation only four (soon-to-be-five) people strong, plus some acolytes. Though the Council represents ''four'' nations, the Water Tribes exert undue influence by insisting on two-person representation when the much more heterogenous, (and inferentially populous) Earth Kingdom should receive extra consideration. Wait just a moment, gentlemen, ladies, what is our representative system? Proportional or equal?(*Insert gavel banging here*)
** Five seats on the council with representation based on the nations, so both water tribes get a seat. It's really extremely [[WhatTheHellHero undemocratic]]
*** Republic City was never billed as a democracy though. So accusations of "undemocratic" practices aren't all that relevant.

[[WMG: A Bender with Equalist parents will be introduced.]]
This character (who will come later and be part of the main cast) grew up with Equalist parents and was always forced to repress their abilities. The parents were always upset at having a bender child and the other anti-benders treated them poorly for it. The character will be upset and make a failed attempt at killing Korra to prove that they're loyal to the Equalist cause. Korra will eventually tell them that being a bender is part of who you are and you shouldn't lie to yourself or hate yourself. This sets the character on the right path, while still being doubtful, and spends the rest of the series trying to accept themself. By the finale they will have not only accepted but embraced their bending abilities.
* YouCantFightFate as an {{Aesop}} in a [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop children's show?]]
** More like Be True To Yourself And Don't Let People Tell You What You Are. A pretty common aesop for children (HarryPotter and the Dursleys for example).
*** Or it could be a person who disapproves of the way non-benders are treated and happens to be a bender themselves, or maybe just a BoomerangBigot.


[[WMG: There will be a battle/chase on a motorcycle]]
Why? Because it would be [[RuleOfCool AWESOME]], that's why! I mean who doesn't want to see '''bending on motorcycles?!'''
* I...[[CrazyAwesome wow]]. This...needs to happen. It just...it just ''does''.
* [[PureAwesomeness I support this theory.]] ''So much.''
* [[YugiohTheAbridgedSeries BENDING ON MOTORCYCLES!!!]]
** It'd be weird if they didn't do that.
* Confirmed.
** And it was amazing. I wonder, are they called Satocycles? Did we ever hear them refer to them as "motorcycles"?
[[WMG: There will be a [[BlackLagoon particular band of pirates/smugglers]] hanging around Republic City consisting of:]]
* A massive, dark-skinned, middle aged soldier with a shaven head.
* A scrawny little gearhead
* A female [[TattooedCrook tattooed]] BadassNormal with paired dao and a visible AxeCrazy streak.
* A mild mannered guy who looks and acts like a petty clerk from Ba Sing Se.

[[WMG: Korra and her Krew will spend a day in [[HighSchoolAU High School]].]]
Just so that the show can poke fun at all the fanfiction out there that transplant the Gaang into school. The school play will also resemble the Ember Island Players.
* Alternatively, either Mako or Bolin will be students at United Republic High School (or something along those lines) -- Korra is sixteen, school-aged, and the brothers don't seem too much older than her. While she's training with Tenzin, they will be in class [[WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld anxiously watching the clock and tearing out to meet Korra as soon as the bell rings]]. Also, Mako will constantly complain that fighting the Equalists takes away from his [[ShouldntWeBeInSchoolRightNow study time]] and Bolin will have [[InstantFanClub groupies]].
* Not so sure about this. Bolin is 19, and Mako is ''older''. They could probably be in University though.
* Wait, where did you get this? I never heard Mako and Bolin's ages confirmed...
* Confirmed as of yesterday on Nick's website, Mako is 18 while Bolin is 16.

[[WMG: The new Team Avatar will watch a black-and-white silent film adaptation of "The Boy in the Iceberg." ]]
It will be the perfect way for the creators to ridicule the live-action movie.
-->'''Bolin:''' Why are they dancing? Real bending doesn't look like that! And how do you keep Earthbenders prisoner with all that ''earth'' under them? Why is..
-->'''Mako:''' Bolin. '''Shut up'''.

[[WMG: One of the main characters will die.]]
The series is said to be DarkerAndEdgier after all, and while the Last Airbender killed off recurring characters they never axed a lead. My money's one of the Bending Brothers. Killing either Bolin or Mako would send the remaining brother into either a HeroicBSOD or a RoaringRampageOfRevenge, shake up the status quo with characters like Tenzin and Asami, and could be a serious KickTheDog moment for the anti-benders in terms of their popularity within the Republic. Besides, what better way to send Korra into her Avatar State than killing her best friend/boyfriend in front of her eyes?
** The Welcome to Republic City game had this rather...ominous thing to say for the Mako/Bolin description: "either would willingly sacrifice their live for the other". So that's more evidence for this theory.

[[WMG:There will be a FiveManBand by the end]]
The first series started off with [[TheHero Aang]], [[TheChick Katara]] and [[TheSmartGuy Sokka]]; [[TheBigGuy Toph]] was added in the second season, and [[SixthRanger Zuko]]/[[GuestStarPartyMember Su]][[EleventhHourRanger ki]] popped in by the third season. Since Korra is a CompositeCharacter of Toph, Suki and Katara, Mako is a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute for Zuko, and Bolin is a more Aang-like Toph, there's some added credence in assuming that they'll get at least two more members.
** It's possible at least one of those two will be a BadassNormal who either knows chi-blocking either from being an ex-Equalist or through other means. Sokka was an amazing non-bender in the previous series, so why not have someone who can give Equalists and other enemies a run for their money in the Krew?
** I think we're going to have a SixthRanger who has had/will have their bending removed. Personal headcanon is that s/he was a waterbender, preferably not Southern Tribe because we have Korra representing that, maybe Swampbender? Reasoning behind this is that if many benders lose their powers, at least some will want to get back at Amon. Hopefully s/he learns to be BadassNormal, maybe wih the help of the above non-bender.
**** Could be Tahno, then, who will undergo a HeelFaceTurn, join the Krew, and be something of a DefrostingIceQueen.
* Bolin struck me more as a Earthbending Sokka.
[[WMG: The FinalBattle will be an apocalyptic battle against a CosmicHorror...and it will be awesome!]]
Because the FinalBattle in TLA was an apocalyptic battle against an EvilOverlord. Only one way to go from there.
* Working with the chi-powered mech theory below, it could be a giant war machine instead that rampages through Republic City like a {{Kaiju}} and is driven by Amon.
** And Kora goes [[GodModeSue Avatar State]] to take him on. Or...
* Alternatively, Amon's Energy Bending will backfire somehow, just as it almost did with Aang and the fire lord, resulting in him becoming this EldritchAbomination.
** Is it really a backfire ... or completely intentional from the very beginning?

[[WMG: Korra is unsuccessful, and there's a shocker ending.]]
Korra works incredibly hard to master airbending and the avatar state leading up to a huge battle with the Equalists on the scale of Aang's battle against Ozai, but when she goes into the Avatar state - BOOM. Someone kills her with a gun, a bomb, or some other sort of man-made weapon that even bending can't adequately counter. The Avatar cycle is broken, and the Equalists take power, somehow, leading to bending eventually dying out, and humans becoming much more focused on industrializing instead. And then... it becomes the world as we know it today.
* Going further (and preventing this from being a TOTAL downer ending) many years later a young earthbender is told about the old Avatar cycle by his [[TheMentor master]], an old Earthbender who's gone into hiding since Korra's time. He tells the young earthbender that the world is dying as a result of the death of the cycle and somehow it must be restored. He then tells the boy (Or girl, it doesn't really matter at this point) about a [[MythologyGag mysterious lion-turtle]] who may know how to restore the cycle that's been spotted in the waters outside of Republic City and reluctantly asks his pupil to go find it. Thus begins a new series about an earth-bending Avatar focusing on how bending originated and how the cycle of the avatar began.
** And for added fun, the [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep previously-unnamed master]] tells his pupil that if by chance he/she ever finds avatar Korra, to tell her that [[TheReveal Bolin]] [[CallBack says]] [[TearJerker hi.]]

[[WMG: This series will have a downer ending or bittersweet ending to set up a third series]]
Just think about it: this show will be what, 26 episodes across two seasons? Why so short? Because this show is only really setting up for the "real" sequel to the original which will cover another major war worst than the first between the benders and the "normals". Remember, that it has been confirmed that the Avatar world is going through a Jazz Age/Depression era analogue. Does anyone remember when those things happened in our world? Ding ding ding ding ding! That's right: between WWI and WWII. My guess, this series will end on a sour note, with Korra failing to succeed in her mission. The anti-bender sentiment will grow and spark an all out revolution throughout the United Republic and thus the entire Avatar World will go through something akin to a mixture of WWI, WWII, the Russian Revolution, and the Chinese Civil War.

[[WMG: DOWNER ENDING!]]
Korra will undergo a slow FaceHeelTurn, her powers will increase anti-bender sentiment, and once she goes into the avatar state, she'll be killed by a descendant of the cabbage man in a MiniMecha [[MacrossMissileMassacre in a hail of missiles]]. AntiMagic will be discovered, and weaponized, and the elitist benders, fearing extinction will [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope initiate a police state.]] Muggles will devolve into [[TheMorlocks Morlocks]], and all will not be well.
* And then Bryke wake up with the worst hangover ever and decide never to chug half-a-keg of beer each ever again. ;P
** Half a keg? Pssh...[[ImmuneToDrugs lightweight]].

[[WMG: The series will end with a growing multiple front movement towards [[EverybodyWasKungFuFighting democratizing the Bending arts]]]]
Three forces, the pro-bending league, Tenzin's family and his acolytes, and what remains of the genuinely progressive arm of the Equalists will begin teaching not only bender culture, but bending forms to non benders. The pro-benders will see monetary potential in new non-bender athletic leagues that both open up entertainment avenues and get low-income kids off the streets and into their gyms. The Equalists will like the utility of these...these "martial arts" both for self defense (Turns out, with some disciplines, if you make a bending form rapidly and accurately enough with your bare fists and it connects, it can really hurt somebody! Go figure!) and exercise, and Tenzin will, after some nudging from his family, the Avatar and his associates, begin letting his acolytes have a go at the training gates, if he hasn't been at least teaching them meditation already. After all, having just a handful of Airbenders puts the nations out of balance, and the forms should be spread even if the innate capacity is lacking. Even the Spirit World might decide that Tenzin's line simply isn't enough to revitalize the Air Nation into counterbalancing the other three, so eventually, sufficiently dedicated, culturally reverant nonbender Air Novices will be stunned to find they can make the gates spin, all on their own...possibly after having vivid dreams about Sky Bison, a Lion Turtle or an Airbender man who wants to teach them a neat trick where you make a marble spin in midair.

[[WMG: The Air Acolytes will eventually give birth to airbenders]]
WordOfGod says that the reason all the Air Nomads were airbenders was because their way of life was so spiritual. The acolytes are dedicated to recreating their culture, even if they can't bend the element. So after some generations of reliving the old ways, they will start having airbender children.

[[WMG: Asami is a chi-blocker.]]
Cause why not?
* Adding to this: she's the chi-blocker that fights Korra in Episode 3, who seems to have a female appearance.

[[WMG: Part of Asami's role in the group is to provide additional transportation.]]
She gives the group a CoolCar so everyone doesn't have to rely on Naga for getting around.

[[WMG: Korra will take off Amon's mask while they're fighting]]
In "The Voice in the Night" she'll unmask Amon mid-battle. It would make really bad NightmareFuel, especially if Amon's face [[spoiler: really is disfigured because of a firebender]]
* Or it will turn out that all those theories about Koh being responsible for Amon losing his face were right...

[[WMG: The Gaang statues around Republic City are a secret defense mechanism.]]
We've seen three so far - Aang's, Toph's and Zuko's. Statues that large are almost certainly made from metal rather than stone. And what is the City police force known for controlling? [[HumongousMecha That's right...]]
* Combining this with the designs for a humongous mecha present in a FreezeFrameBonus [[http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1m3rh5z0B1qb59nf.png here]], an important episode, perhaps even the finale, will have an Equalist HumongousMecha threatening an important part of the city (but avoid harming civilians). The animated statues will attempt to hold it off, but it's too powerful and can only be stopped by Korra entering the Avatar state, forming a {{Kaiju}}-like monster like in the episode "The Siege of the North". She'll have difficulty triggering it, either because she's Chi-blocked or perhaps even energy-bended, or just because the Avatar state is difficult to trigger. However, once she's entered that state, she's not in full control of her actions, so she causes excessive damage to the city while battling the Equalist mecha. The Equalists are defeated temporarily, but Amon will escape, and Korra will have caused enough damage that the Equalists actually gain popular support, perhaps even taking control of the city. Korra may be exiled, setting the stage for a second season where she learns energybending, or if she was energy-bended herself, she may be {{Depower}}ed permanently and search for a way to regain her powers. If the latter is the case, the lack of an existing Avatar may cause an unbalance in the world, allowing spirits to cross over into the physical world, with Amon revealed to be Koh's agent, and the final battle will be between Korra and Koh/Amon.
* Perhaps Korra can spiritually link to one of the statues (most likely Aang's) and we can have something similar to Koizilla, except with a giant statue.

[[WMG: The Spirit(s) helping Amon want Amon to destroy the United Republic, in order to stop a possible Tower of Babel scenario.]]

[[WMG: The series finale.]]
It turns out Amon is Korra's true father, the waterbenders he grew up with were just foster parents. The reason Korra wasn't told this was because Amon had been corrupted by Ozai. Ozai taught Amon energybending, which he had learned by osmosis when Aang used it on him. It turns out Ozai is still alive, and Amon is his {{dragon}}. Ozai wants to rid the world of bending, because if he can't do it anymore, why should anyone else? So he uses Amon and the Equalists as a tool to achieve this. At some point in the series, during a heated fight between the two, Korra learns the truth from Amon, who tells her he is her father. This obviously leaves Korra confused and conflicted. In the series finale Korra faces Ozai and Amon, and she tries appeal to his father's better nature, but Amon appears to be untouched by her pleas. Ozai and Amon defeat Korra in a battle, and Ozai is about to energybend Korra's powers away, when all of a sudden Amon interrupts the process, saving his daughter. This interruption causes Ozai's energybending to backfire, killing him and mortally damaging Amon. Just before he dies, Amon asks Korra to remove his mask, so she will finally see the real face of her father. Amon then dies in peace.

Oh, and Mark Hamill will obviously return to play Ozai.

[[WMG: Koh taught Amon Energybending]]
So Koh who showed up one time for five minutes in the Season 1 Finale, and brought up again in webcomics will return. He told Aang they would meet again, but this could easily mean in the next reincarnation. Besides what spirt besides Wa Shi Tong wants to get back at the Avatar? Wa Shi Tong is cool and knows 10,000 definately including Energybending but I am going to focus on Koh. Koh is mad that the last Water Tribe Avatar Kuruk wants to kill him, so who will have to take up his mantle the next Water Tribe Avatar Korra, which will be really hard due to the loss of bending in the Spirit world. But i think somehow Amon found his way into the Spirit World and was taught energybending by Koh, what is Koh's modus operandi, stealing faces! Man behind mask is so lying about the firebenders burning his face five bucks!!! Its to gather sympathy and to blame a familiar enemy firebenders. So Amon once showed emotion in front of Koh who took his face or it was the price to learn energybending. And about how he can operate in real life, i don"t know about breathing and eating, but he just be fighting blind like Toph, hell he could just be an earthbender whose whole Equalist movement is facade to gather power. And we have only seen Amon's eyes on posters and not when he shows up, and even on the posters they look like sequins that are part of a inner layer of the mask. And thats how you wild mass guess.

[[WMG: Korra will use the Avatar State.]]
With ''disastrous results'' and massive colateral damage to Republic City.


[[WMG: Mako will use his past to undermine Amon.]]
Mako is a firebender who lost his parents to firebending. His bending allowed nim to earn a decent living and ''survive'' along with Bolin. He's realized that it wasn't the bending itself that was evil and that it's no different than a sword in someone's hands, and will make this clear to the anti-bending activists and supporters.

[[WMG: The series' plot and Korra's CharacterDevelopment will deal with the unlocking of chakras.]]
The resolution of Korra's apparent lack of spirituality will undoubtedly be one of the key plot elements, but interwoven with her overall development will be many of the same difficulties Aang faced. Throughout the show, Korra is going to be faced with situations which generate those negative emotions which block the chakras. Let's run down the list: her fear of Amon and his abilities will prevent her earth chakra from functioning; her guilt for putting her friends in jeopardy will block her water chakra; her shame over not living up to everyone's expectations will block her fire chakra; she will grieve for the loss of one of her friends, sealing her air chakra; she will lie during the inevitable relationship struggle, thus blocking her sound chakra; she will have to dispel the illusion surrounding Amon and his abilities to unlock her light chakra; and the thought chakra will be her biggest hurdle, much as it was for Aang.

These are, of course, only guesses, but similar situations could easily arise over the course of the show's run, and Korra's tackling of these issues in her life will cause her to grow as a person, and will ultimately allow her to fulfill her destiny as the Avatar.
* "The Voice in the Night" dealt specifically with Korra's fear, and we learned in "The Guru" that fear is what blocks the first chakra. So that's one bit of indirect evidence in favor of this WMG.

[[WMG: Asami will turn out to be some kind of FemmeFatale or even evil.]]
Just look at her, it's like someone was going by the FemmeFatale looks checklist. And she seems suspicious somehow.

[[WMG: Yakone was...]]
* ...an evil bending supremicist.
* ...an AntiVillain who made friends with Tenzin before his defeat.
* ...an early Anti-Bender.
* ...Amon's father.

[[WMG: In Order to defeat Amon...]]
* Korra will have to master fighting without bending. If Amon turns out to be a master chi-blocking fighter besides a DiabolicalMastermind, then he is a master at dodging ranged attacks, which most bending is based on. And what better way to out-perforr the villain than the heroine defeating him on his own specialty? Besides, the show already borrows a lot from martial arts movies, this would be an even more direct homage.

[[WMG: Tarrlok is...]]
Related to Hahn.
* Hopefully this means that he too will end up getting thrown off a boat.

[[WMG: Mako and Amon's stories are congruent and one of them is a lie]]
* Amon is the villain and may well be an unreliable narrator, Mako's story has been done time and time again and seems oddly vague as though he intentionally left a part out to conceal something; both stories cannot be true for the sake of having an interesting plot. The two accounts also have the same factor of a rampaging firebender and may well be part of the same story, again in the name of a good plot.
** Not necessarily. Sometimes, the interesting thing is the difference in how both the Hero and Villain dealt with the same situation. On the other hand, you may have a point, and the truth of the matter could be (see next WMG)...

[[WMG: Amon is a bender]]
* Specifically, he's the firebender who killed Mako's parents. He came to feel immense guilt over what he had done, and blamed it on his bending, then from there came to see all bending as evil.

[[WMG: Who says Energybending can only take away bending?]]
* Korra will enter the Avatar State in her final battle with Amon and, perhaps by accessing some of Aang's memories, use energybending to give him bending powers- probably firebending. What would destroy a man who so fervently hates bending more than becoming that which he hates the most. It's also a nice bit of karmic justice, and as much of a psychological mind rape as his mind games with Korra. He will probably echo the "what have you done to me?" line upon discovering his new abilities, just for a nice bit of synchronicity.

[[WMG: Korra will have her first spiritual encounter with Avatar Aang very soon and he will assist her in conquering her fear of Amon.]]
The ending of ''Voices In The Night'' sort of foreshadows that Korra will encounter Aang's spirit soon. Not only does her vision show Aang, but as Tenzin rushes to help her, she even mistakes him for Aang and whispers his name. It seems that her encounter with Amon has left Korra with her predecessor on her mind, perhaps wondering how the great peacemaker Avatar Aang would have dealt with Amon and the Equalists, and this will result in a dream sequence where she meets Aang in the spirit world so he can help her deal with her fear of Amon; after all, he went through a similar situation himself in ''Nightmares and Daydreams'' with his fear of confronting Ozai. He'd probably pass on a few words of wisdom about that which will help Korra start to learn how to deal with her fear of Amon.
* In the Winner is, Korra has another vision of Aang, Toph and possibly Yakone.

[[WMG: There will be a flash-forward episode to the return of Sozin's Comet ]]
Although I think it's unlikely, it would be interesting to see how its arrival would affect the world when there is no war.

[[WMG: Tahno will join the Gaang/Krew in a future episode.]]
The way I figure it, when Amon [[spoiler: invades the Championship tournament]], he will attempt to take Tahno's bending away and Korra will begrudgingly rescue him. If the leaked episode title [[spoiler: Tahno's Love Triad]] is legit, it will have something to do with him thanking her somehow.

[[WMG: An Airbender will join the Krew]]
Similarities between the original Gaang and the Krew have been drawn, such as there being an initial trio (Aang, Katara, Sokka to Korra, Mako, Bolin) and having Benders of all nations present. Currently, the only Airbenders are Tenzin and his children, with no one in Korra's age group represented (excluding herself). However, a young man or woman from an isolated village will come to Republic City hoping to learn Earthbending. He/she is not very good, and the Krew will soon realize that he/she is actually Airbending dirt and that one of his/her parents was the child of an Air Nomad who went into hiding. This will allow Korra to have a peer in Airbending who is equal in ability to her (instead of a master or a young child) and more hope that the Air Nomad culture is still growing strong.

[[WMG: After ''The Legend of Korra'' is over, there will be a spinoff set in the early days of the Republic City.]]
It will star the adult Gaang and their children, and revolve around their conflict with Yakone. Come on, who doesn't want to see teenaged Tenzin and Lin, among others, or what members of the Gaang are like, all grown up?

[[WMG: The Pro-Bending Arena (or at least its loft) will be destroyed]]
The episode "And The Winner Is..." seems set to feature an attack on the arena by Amon. Due either to the fight getting out of hand, or the Equalists' use of explosives, at least part of the arena will be destroyed. With no where else to go Mako and Bolin will be invited to live on Air Temple Island, partially for their own protection.
* In the trailer we do see a giant ball of flame engulfing what could be the brothers' loft.
* If the tournament is over, there isn't any reason story wise to keep Bolin and Mako connected to the arena. Living on the island would allow for new interactions between characters.
[[WMG: Yakone and whatever he did will end up having some actual relevance to the plot]]
* All the flashbacks of the adult Gaang look as though they were getting ready for something big,like Yakone, and said flashbacks must be relevant to something.
[[WMG: The unknown guy in the second flashback (who seems to be the cause of whatever is severely pissing off Aang) is not Yakone... its [[spoiler:Ozai]]]]

A lot of people seem to think that the Flashbacks deal with Yakone, and that he is in some way integral to the back-story due to his description of having once posed a serious threat to republic city and having once fought Aang. However, there seems to be something a little... off about this.

In the flashbacks Aang looks pissed, seriously pissed, pissed enough to go into the Avatar state (as seen in the second flashback) which would mean that if it was Yakone the flashback was pertaining to, he would have had to do something [[MoralEventHorizon reeeaaaally bad]]. However, when Tarlok mentions Yakone, Tenzin only seems irritated that Tarlok compared himself to Aang, which seems odd if Yakone had indeed done something bad enough to make [[TechnicalPacifist Aang]] go apeshit on him.

In my opinion, the reference to Yakone was either irrelevant, a Chekov's gun, or a red herring to distract the fanbase from speculating who the guy in the flashbacks is.

Firstly, take a close look at the ages of the Characters in the flashback, Aang and Toph both seem to be in their 30s/early 40s at most, whereas the guy most people seem to think is Yakone is grey haired and markedly older. Which would have made him a full adult during the original series.

Secondly take a look at his face, specifically the eyes, the eyebrows, the nose, the mouth, and the jaw

...and compare them to a certain other character, who would have been a full adult in the original series, and would more than anyone would press Aang's [[BerserkButton Berserk Button]]

Notice any similarities?

The man in the flashbacks is in fact our old friend Ozai, who from the looks of it is in some kind of trial proceedings (war crimes maybe?) and who clearly was able to cause some major nastiness seeing how Aang was so angered by it, and how flashes of these events echoed in Korra's mind.

This would explain multiple things, it would explain why Sokka looks so worried in the first flashback and why Aang was so extremely pissed off in both, it would tie up a loose end with Ozai and what happened to him, it may offer elaboration as to the effects of energybending, and it may even explain why Zuko gave up his position of Firelord to wander the earth. Whatever Ozai did may well have helped start the equalist movement, either indirectly (via some atrocity using benders) or directly in order to spite Aang.

It may also serve as a reference to a certain [[{{Joker}} "other" character]] who was also [[BatmanTheAnimatedSeries voiced]] by [[MarkHamill Mark Hamill]] and the [[ReturnOfTheJoker sinister effect]] he had on the [[BatmanBeyond Follow Up Series]] despite having "died" before that series.
