*** And finally, as of March 13th, 2012, the title has been un-ruined even for US fans. Everyone, we present to you [[http://bryankonietzko.tumblr.com/post/19269521479/ahhh-yeah-thats-more-like-it-much-better the new official logo]] for the show known simply as ''TheLegendOfKorra''.

** One of the biggest points of contention right now is over Korra's race and how to describe her. One side of the fandom insists that describing Korra as "tan" and drawing her with light skin, as many fans have done so, indicates that she's white and negates the rarity and importance of having a dark-skinned woman as the main character. The other side claims that race isn't any sort of issue because the characters are fictional, and it's up to individual writers and artists as to how they want to depict Korra's skin. Needless to say, the fandom is ''incredibly'' divided over this.

** When Mako and Bolin were first revealed as characters, fans thought Bolin would be a goofball clown and Mako would be a brooding lady's man. Turns out ''Bolin'' is TheCharmer, not Mako, and the responsible Mako is too busy taking care of his brother and working to keep them off the streets to really focus on anything else.

** The leaked clips and the second trailer add even more proof that Korra is going to have SceneryPorn worthy of a StudioGhibli film.

** Recently new image leaks from the first few episodes have been put up online. One of the unique things about this show is that the animators heavily add a lot of extreme facial expressions. These expressions are having a small meme base with images like these: [[http://plus4chan.org/b/a/src/13283406725.gif]]

** Let's take this further, shall we? Look into our own history from an anthropological point of view. The technological advancement of the Avatar world within the span of 70 years is oft likened by many fans to be like that of our own Industrial Revolution. While we're talking about a world where people can bend the elements with their own hands, mass production may not be so difficult. But then look at the first part of the ''Promise'' comic and how, in a Fire Nation colony, the non-benders serve the benders. Now look at the historical recaps of modern day anthropology, where articles state that the Industrial Revolution was built on the backs of slave labour and colonialism. Think about that for a moment.
