Collider has a look at the new animated adventures that will soon premiere on Cartoon Network that further chronicles the adventures of the “Avatar” with a new cast, supporting cast, and new Avatar that picks up the story 100 years after the conclusion of the last series and is expected to last 26 episodes as a mini series sequel. An overview on Wikipedia shares:
Korra (Varney) is a young female Waterbender native to the Southern Water Tribe, as Water succeeds Air in the Avatar Cycle. Korra has already mastered Waterbending, Earthbending, and Firebending, but has yet to master Airbending. She will learn Airbending from Aang and Katara’s son, Tenzin (Simmons), an Airbending Master. Unlike the previous series, The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra is primarily rooted in only one region. This location is Republic City, a steam-punk style metropolis where people of all nations, benders and non-benders, live together. The city is ridden with rampant crime and is rattled by an anti-bender revolt, which serve as challenges for the characters in the show
I welcome the return of some good ‘ol airbending action to try to wash away the debauchery that was given in the live action movie. I was a huge fan of the original cartoon as it was something that my son and I both enjoyed and would’ve liked to see more stories starring the original protagonist, Aang, but I understand his story is over and it’s time for something new.
