OWL will be the antagonists.
Why? Well, there was this other WMG that talked about the OWL acting as a safeguard in the case that the Avatar went rouge- they act independent of the Avatar, in case the Avatar proves to be dangerous. But then they undergo Motive Decay- the Avatar is too strong, he's a rogue presence. It always struck me how peace through the Avatar was kind of like Peace Through Superior Firepower - the Avatar will kick your ass if you don't maintain the peace- and new members of the OWL don't like that. Well-Intentioned Extremist people begin to take over the OWL. After Jumping Off the Slippery Slope, all bets are off- all benders are a danger to the stability of society.
Highly unlikely, but still.

Whatcha gonna do, little buckaroo? | i be pimpin' madoka fics^Another bit of detail (though I'm probably speculating too far here) is that I've yet to see the design of Korra's armband. Sokka and Katara both customize their gear with a somewhat similar design (a zig-zag pattern), however their design does not include pearls. Assuming that these designs are possibly based on family lineage, Korra's not a descendant of Sokka nor Katara.
Who could her grandfather be then? My theory is Bato. Not only does Bato get the most screentime out of the southern watertribe outside of Sokka and Katara's family, but the flag on his ship consists of a triangle and a moon emblem, which appears to be used in a portion of Korra's armband.
That is pretty much me just wild mass guessing, though.
Fear is our ally. The gasoline will be ours. A Honey Badger does not kill you to eat you. It tears off your testicles.But if Republic City has an Aang version of the Cristo Redentor, shouldn't the city not have any anarchy?
^An Expy for Edison or (even better) Tesla? Yes please!
Fear is our ally. The gasoline will be ours. A Honey Badger does not kill you to eat you. It tears off your testicles.^^^That's actually quite possible. Consider:
- Earthbenders possess a limited form of magnetism, as exhibited by the Dai Li. This combined with Toph's ability to detect earth in metal, allows for metalbending.
- Waterbenders can redirect a persons's chi via healing, and combined with the fact that the human body is 70% water, allows for bloodbending to control a person against their will.
The Firebenders' special ability is lightning, so if someone discovers electricity and that lightning=electricity, bam: Lightningbending and Teslapunk.

@Chronix - Great. Now Korra's going to be known as the goddamn avatar in my head.
So the concept art shows Korra looking over three cities and an island... Three nations and shrine to air/Aang?
Also if Aang's time in the iceberg counts towards his lifespan, that certainly casts new light on the seriousness of situation. Burning up his life just to preserve himself as the last Airbender.
Steampunk... On the bright side this probably means metal-bending
. On the downside, no dragons or flying bison
.
I'm looking forward to this. After all, we all need it to wash a certain bad taste out of our mouths and no matter what happens this will be an improvement on that which shall not be named.
I call forth Unlimited Stories!Also a little theory as to why we've only seen her from behind.

And some of it is debatable, like "Aang is not Admiral Zhao."
I have a message from another time...
