First Trailer for Legend of Korra Season 3!
Sadly, this is just a wordless teaser trailer, so we can’t much tell what the heck is going on…and there is surprisingly little Korra.
But who’s complaining? Bring on Season 3! Though if I’m being completely honest with myself and you, my loyal Internet readers, I’ve mostly been let down with Legend of Korra as a whole. It’s a fine show, I suppose, but it comes up lacking in probably every comparison to The Last Airbender. I’m also disappointed that the entire show isn’t more serialized. Each season is, sure, but Last Airbender was a three-season epic quest to save the world. In Legend of Korra, the bad guys politely wait their turn for each season.
Legend of Korra Returns on Friday
I had no idea the new season was starting so soon! I need to stay on top of things like that! Enjoy this last minute trailer.
The first Avatar? Now that sounds fantastic. I loved Legend of Korra’s first season, and no doubt we’re all going to love season 2!
There Should Have Been a Heart Village in The Last Airbender
Of all the elements and their equivalent continents in Avatar: The Last Airbender, there should have been a Heart Village. Tucked all the way down in some corner of the world, maybe on an island all of its own, the Aang Gang should have run into some heart-benders for an episode.
The Power of Love!
This is a silly idea, I know, but I think it’s one of my better fan ideas.
The four elements of Avatar: The Last Airbender are Earth, Fire, Wind and Water. They even call it ‘earth-bending’ instead of dirt-bending, rock-bending, ground-bending or anything else. And we don’t even know if their planet is called ‘Earth’. But does the phrase ‘Earth, Fire, Wind and Water’ sound familiar to anyone else?
Ma-Ti was always the coolest one
Exactly!
It would have been the greatest geek reference in the history of television. A Captain Planet Easter Egg in the middle of Avatar: The Last Airbender.
And there is still time with Legend of Korra.
Review: Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Promise, Part 2
I am terrible at keeping up with this series. Part 2 came out all the way at the end of May, and only now did I think to look into it and get myself a copy for review. Someone remind me to look for Part 3 in September. Though after reading The Promise, Part 2, I can’t say as how I’m too disappointed with missing out. This series – an in-canon continuation of the Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoon – takes a noticeable step down in both quality and excitement with the second chapter, much to my displeasure.
The Promise, Part 2
Roughly about 90% of this comic is just filler material, and bad filler material at that. Nickelodeon and writer Gene Luen Yang clearly knew where they wanted the story to be at the end of Part 2, but it seems like they ran out of interesting stuff to do following the cliffhanger for Part 1.
Comic rating: 3/5: Alright.
I don’t even know if I can call this an entertaining comic. It’s not funny, the action is boring, it’s painfully predictable, and nothing of note happens to any of the main characters. The only thing Part 2 has going for it is that it looks and feels like an Avatar cartoon. Most of our favorite characters are back, and they talk and act like we remember them. The art is also exactly like the old cartoon. Plus the spirit of Avatar: The Last Airbender is in this comic. It feels like I could be watching a real episode. So I guess that’s a plus, and it should make fans happy. But if you were looking for a real, interesting look at life after the cartoon, Part 2 does not deliver.
Still, the overall story has me interested enough to return for Part 3 in September. As long as someone reminds me to pick it up.
