We all knew this, but now it's official.

The Legend of Korra is a go!

"Mike and Bryan have imagined a compelling new story inspired by the Airbender mythology that they so brilliantly crafted when the TV series began," Johnson said. "This new avatar is not only a girl, but also hot-headed, independent and ready to take on the world."

She's a waterbender! She's going to learn from Aang's son Tenzin! WHOO HOO baby.

I saw this this morning and flailed a lot!!! Female protagonist! 70 years later! Acknowledgment of the consequences of the Air Nomads' genocide on the training of future Avatars! Multi-bending city! Exploration of the tensions between benders and non-benders. THIS IS LIKE THE BEST OF FANFICTION COME TO LIFE!!! SQUEEEEEEE!!!!

IT REALLY IS!!!

(and I am responding to this because I forgot to use my brand new Avatar icons in the last comment and TOPH NEEDS SOME LOVE :DDDD )

Oh this is great - I've only watched the first season of Avatar (and I so hope I'll have time to watch the rest soon!) and love it. So I am looking forward to this -- at least something good came of that movie. ¬_¬

[lady_ganesh]

It gets better and better! NEXT SEASON YOU GET TOPH. If you are in the States and have netflix, it's available streaming, IIRC.

I'm so excited!

[lady_ganesh]

Me too!

YES PLEASE

Best day ever, or BEST DAY EVER?

I'm a wee bit apprehensive about the steampunk bit because I think that meme needs to rest for a bit, and besides if the Fire Nation worked on steam I imagine that in 70 years they'll have come up with something more elegant. But still, exciting!

Fuck yeah!

Seriously, if and when I have children, they will watch A:TLA as soon as they're old enough to comprehend it.

We tried to get Miss Bunny into it about a year ago and she bounced right off. We watched some of it with her a couple months ago, and she's an addict now, it's awesome.

Cool : )
