[up]x4 They definitely weren't tryin to lure them into a trap or anything like that. The plan as far as we're shown was to assault the capital and "get" Ozai, Azula, and Zuko (who was, as far as the other main character knew, fully their enemy at this point). What "getting them" actually means (capturing them? killing them?) is unclear.

[up][up][up] They only put out one or two graphic novels a year, hardly churning them out. I'm very confused by the reference to GI Joe.

As I understand G.I. Joe has comics, so it’s especially confusing. Maybe Mullon meant “why isn’t the franchise churning out comics?”

[up] Oh, that makes a lot more sense. Probably because they don't have ideas for an ongoing comic series or more graphic novels, and they don't want to cheapen the franchise by pushing out comics made by obligation instead of inspiration. GI Joe is a fundamentally different situation because the franchise was created to be a toy commercial, with a generally episodic structure and a willingness to reboot continuity pretty regularly. Avatar is a lot more driven by its creators and has a stronger continuity, so they don't want to make comics just to make them.

Probably also to avoid limiting the stories of the upcomming three movies by filling in to much of the timeline before they come out.

IIRC there is supposed to be a new Korra comic trilogy coming out at some point, unless it got cancelled since I last heard.

As someone pointed out in the comments, there's now a platform fighter that officially features both Cartoon Network and Nintendo Nickelodeon characters (as skins).

[up] That’s not new art, it’s from a convention poster from several years ago. But I’m sure it will serve as inspiration if the movie is set in that timeframe.

That might not be new art, but this is! And it's straight from Avatar Studios apparently!

Apparently, these are for official metal posters?

Hell of a glow-up, right guys?

Aang the unreasonably buff (pre)teen.

If it's not already covered in canon material, I'd love a graphic novel or short of Aang, Ty Lee, Suki, Pathik, and the Air Acolytes restoring the Air Temples. Maybe the Mechanist, too! Those characters fit as the Western Air Temple is in the Fire Nation, Kyoshi Island is close to the southern temple, and the Mechanist and Pathik took up residence at the last two.

Even if Ty Lee and Suki don't convert to Air Acolytes, it would be nice to explore their spiritual sides and strengthen their connection to Aang and each other.

Avatar keeps making odd crossovers. In this case, Minecraft has a huge Avatar-based DLC expansion.

Minecraft also keeps making odd crossovers, from what I'm aware. Last year it was Sonic the Hedgehog. I know they've previously crossed over with Mario.

I wasn't expecting crossovers in the eras, but then I saw Korra and Aang running through Omashu, Team Korra meeting Suki at Kyoshi Island, and Kya and Tenzin talking to Zhao (and not just in the Fog of Lost Souls). That's pretty cool! Iroh, Zuko, and Azula having what seems to be a dance party in a bloody jail cell was weird, though.

And they're really going in with the characters. I wasn't expecting to see Xin Fu!

From this and the TTRPG, is "Avatar Legends" now the official name of the franchise?

While I love Iroh and how powerful he is and I know that he could have whooped Ozai singlehandledly I still think its a terrible Idea to have him actually do so. Years upon years of writing, build up establishing Aang as the only one who can beat Ozai and restore peace... only for the writers to go "You know what? Iroh can beat Ozai just fine. KTHNXBAI". And I dont count the comics as worth the trees that were cut to print it or the bytes it occupies digitally, let alone canon.

  1. Ummm... did anything prompt this sudden hate boner for the comics?
  2. So you're saying you know Iroh's capabilities more than Iroh himself?

I know that he could have whooped Ozai singlehandledly

deuteragonist's argument that Iroh should defeat Ozai is based on the comics. And I apologize for the sudden bluntness but I otherwise stand by what I said.

Edit: Actually I dont know better than Iroh. I just really love him.

I don't think Iroh is capable of defeating Ozai, at least we have never seen any feats from him that are comparable.

That said most of the comics are still terrible but that is generally a whole other issue.

Word of God is that Ozai was the most powerful firebender in A:TLA so while it would've been good to see that before Sozin's Comet, I think it's likely that he would've beaten Iroh. At the least Iroh would've been the underdog in that fight.
