The Legend of Korra

And some of it is debatable, like "Aang is not Admiral Zhao."

I have a message from another time...

I want to see Korra in the avatar state.

Check out the statue of liberty expy in the upper left corner◊. It kind of looks like a certain bald kid to me...

Lookin' pretty smokestack-y, Republic City.

Good eye! Although I agree that Christ the Redeemer was the first thing that came to my mind. Either way works for me, though, especially if it does turn out to be a statue of Aang.

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.

^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.

But if Republic City has an Aang version of the Cristo Redentor, shouldn't the city not have any anarchy?

I'd like to see a...Republican?...guy who's been trying to scientifically pin down the relationship between electricity and magnets. Like a successor to Sokka, Teo, and the Mechanist.

^An Expy for Edison or (even better) Tesla? Yes please!

Anyone getting Batman Beyond vibes from this series?

Closet DCLAU fan.

If you replace flying cars and robots with steam engines and clockwork machinery, yes.

The concept image of Korra standing over Gotham Republic City is very Batman in and of itself.

^^^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.

I am eagerly awaiting a fancomic involving an ancient Aang yelling at Korra from the spirit world: "MCGINNIS!"

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!

I was thinking more Maxwell, but Tesla would of course be cooler. He can come later.

Uh, three cities? I onlysaw one.

Who else feels like this?

Also a little theory as to why we've only seen her from behind.
