I really hope that the new Avatar's story is to restore the avatar state after Korra lost it. It could be an awesome spirit world adventure story since we've never spent an extended period of time in the spirit world.
Correction Korra didn't lose her Avatar state she lost her connection to her past lives big difference she could still go into the spirit world through meditating
@@lordfoul6259 Yeah but doesn't that massively nerf the Avatar state? The whole advantage of it was that you could draw on all the past knowledge, skillsets, experiences, and combined power of all the past lives. Since Korra has no one to draw from the Avatar state is essentially useless no?
Didnt she get it back right at the end? When Rava was like “I’ve been here the whole time” and things just magically fixed themselves?
@@shadamyandsonamylover yup in the fourth season but that was mostly due to her PTSD from what happened to her at the end of the third season
@@sansbazinga9821 I think that's one of the plotholes about that story now that I think about it
When it comes to ethnic accuracy I really don't see how it matters for voice actors, no one is seeing the voice actors only the culturally inspired animated versions. Having the same voice actors would have been a great continuation, especially for Aang's natural voice maturity.
You can blame Social Justice Weirdos for that. Always pretending like they care about Race when in reality they've never watched a single episode of Avatar but Hollyweird still thinks it's a good idea to pander to them.
The think is, it's kind of messed up to profit from the depiction of a culture without including members of that culture in your success. All the more so when you're part of a society that is responsible for the destruction and/or active suppression of the culture in question.
When you're telling stories about, or in this case, inspired by the people who have been oppressed by your society, the least you can do is include them in your stories
@@gunnervi Ok SJW
@@gunnervi I agree, but I'm a bit confused. The southern water tribe is fictional right? I know it's loosely based on real world cultures, but is it respectful to represent an irl culture as the southern water tribe when they have a completely different histories? They're like completely different societies, or is there more that I'm missing? Sorry for the confusion, don't know enough about Avatar!
@@GunnerSyx Ah yes, we wouldn't want to oppress Tibet now, would we? Get a grip dude. It's embarrassing
I really hope they make an iroh series! Even though he’s not an avatar I would love to see his dragon hunting years that shift into the morally grounded dude we knew in the original series and answer some questions like how he’s able to see things from the spirit realm while most others can’t??
That’d be sick! Young, slightly more violent Iroh 🤩
I would love that. Iroh is absolutely one of the best fictional characters of all time
Yes! I was talking about this with my friends. We've only ever seen Iroh at the end of his character arc, the enlightned sage elder. It would be SO cool to see him as the "Dragon of the West" conquering the Earth nation as a war leader and master tactician. It'd be cool to see him struggle and change to eventually become the Iroh we love.
Pretty fertile ground for a short series I think.
i would very much enjoy even a short OVA on iroh traveling to the spirit world to try to get lu ten back and that's how he's able to see spirits
Yes, yes, and yes!!!!! I would absolutely watch that!
I love Genji and its concept of a mistaken avatar. People keep saying that they copied Kiyoshi but the old Genji comics came out before the Kiyoshi books. I actually like the fact that both earth avatars were mistaken since its like history repeats itself
Also the idea of Genji born as a sand bender is refreshing to see. Having an Avatar born from a certain elemental branch is a new approach compared to having one born in a base element, which tbf is kinda a tedious route to go for at this point. I also would love to see a future fire Avatar born as a lightning bender instead of a regular fire bender or perhaps develop some other explored elemental branch for fire bending.
@@laisensei6984 Swamp bender avatar would be hilarious
@@alendonvaldor5808 That would be indeed, but I was thinking a water Avatar born as a blood bender or very naturally gifted in it. That would mean he or she would probably have to deal with a lot prejudice he/she grows up. It would be a conflicted and yet worthy to explore background for a character.
@@laisensei6984 I love to see if an Avatar isn't a protagonist, story focused on someone who just a normal bender or non-bender. Or Avatar is antagonist like Sozin was wanting to be Roku.
@@DisgustingMelodies A non-protagonist Avatar story is possible as it can be done in a form of someone telling the Avatar's story for a third person's view, but an antagonist Avatar story sounds kinda difficult to do, especially if it's something like "Sozin wanting to be Roku". For starters the Avatar is pretty much the embodiment of peak power in their world, so you can't really go higher than that. Another reason is that Raava from what I can tell is particularly careful in selecting the next incarnation of Avatar so that he or she unlikely go off the rail in some way (I get that being an antagonist doesn't necessarily mean be evil, but still).
Here's how I imagine an antagonist Avatar story would go (or something that's close to one): after the introduction of Raava and Vaatu, we all know that neither can exist without the other, and now that Vaatu was temporarily destroyed by Korra, it's only a matter of time before he re-emerges from Raava (the same way Raava was reborn within Vaatu). So perhaps we can have a story where an Avatar happened to be born in a particularly bad environment or suffered a series of traumatic experience that stimulated his inner darkness, and Vaatu managed to sieze that chance and reborn within that Avatar. Because of all the negative emotions and traumas he or she has been through, the Avatar also gave a chance for Vaatu to take over Raava inside the Avatar and start rampaging in the world. By the time the Avatar came back to his or her senses, the damage has already been done and the Avatar is now public enemy number 1.
The thing is I wouldn't set the Avatar that had gone rouge (or gone dark) as the main character of the story but rather as a background story or a prologue of the story (like how in ATLA, the fire nation invasion was served as its background story), and our actual protagonist/antangonist of the story would be the Avatar that came after. He would be born within a world where the Avatar is no longer viewed purely as a messiah but also as a ticking time bomb that could endanger the world. There would be a lot of skepticism surrounding our main character and he would have to walk a very path filled with thorns and could easily turn into the antagonist (or turn evil) at any point in the story.
I am so excited for this because the new Avatar series will come out probably just a few months before i turn 30 so this is massive. Most excitement i've felt about a show in years and i can't wait to see how they take the Avatar in a new direction post-Korra
It's nice to see how avatar grew with us
This guy has been making the same video for years...
@@morningivy nah this is legit tho
@@grimrocket5592 I'll believe it when I see it.
@@morningivy right
Avatar is making a strong comeback and I'm here for it. Avatar movie, Legend of Korra movie (either rumored or confirmed I'm not sure), live action series, new series, and video games too? It's a fever dream
we are in one of the best timeline for now that's sure
I’d love a LOK movie. Seeing Bolin perfect his Lavabending as a cop, finding out who was Suyin’s father, and seeing Zaheer confront Iroh in the Spirit World.
I have diahhrea
@@raiyne3326 I’m sorry to hear that. I hope you feel better.
i don't think we have the same definition of fever dream
I would really love to see the next generation to be a sandbender. It would be so cool for older and newer viewers to get a glimpse of the sandbender culture. Especially since we've only seen very little of them
Sandbenders aren’t separate benders tho, they’re just earth benders who can focus on sand. Toph could sandbend, and probably would have been great at it if sand didn’t make her earth bending vision fuzzy
Doesn’t Genji have the ability to sandbend? I thought he did…
@@kiaratienne4491 he does
but since genji is cancelled due to the new avatar, we're not gonna see much of him
@@multilk6399 oh darn it… I was really looking forward to seeing more of him
I prefer stories centering on Aang and the gang. Aang could have dealt with more spirits after achieving world peace. There is so much we could have done. There would be rebellions across the nations for different reasons. Honestly the last airbender has so much potential
There is book for that
Yeah. And there are so much more interesting avatars before aang. The first avatar wan (like what did people think about it, maybe rebellion against him), Avatar Roku (battle against himself and the changing fire nation society), The ultra OP earth bender Avatar (I forgot her name. But it could be about like battling conqueror and her supporters and haters)
They gonna make also a movie about Aang and Zuko adult
I just don't want another Korra with this Earth avatar. Like Korra was great and all... but it didn't feel like Avatar to me. I hope it's not too modernized. I don't want to see Republic City and all of that stuff. I'd much rather they go back into the past Avatars. It was the older time periods that brought about the appeal. Making technology and modernizing it for the Avatar world was the number one jarring thing for me.
@@chaotic7cam I can see what you mean I love korra but in her series it pretty much shows you how the role of the avatar has become more obselete over the years with the advancement of civilization and unity among nations it’s a good thing for a character like korra who’s development relied on her getting humbled by such events but for someone else who probably wouldn’t really take much pride with such responsibilities it wouldn’t flow well but at the same time we might even witness new things that may just amazing as well since the spirits roam now so modern advancement in their world will for sure turn up slightly different from ours
My judgement on the live action will be solely based on how they portray earth bending
Lol, that scene really traumatized you, didn't it
@@benitocamela174 unbelievably so 😭😭😭😭
@@benitocamela174 nothing else matters at this point because it can't be any worse bro
Maybe this time it will take 200 more soldiers to lift a rock, with every movie it gets more difficult
@@flitefulwantssubs402 😅😅😅🖐🏾
I’m really interested in seeing the story of past avatars. Kyoshi deserves a series. Personally I just find avatar world a little weird in the future even tho it makes sense. I fell in love with the Aang’s avatar world, and would love to see more airbander culture like Yangchen’s story. I’m excited to see what’s coming I just hope they also show us the story of past avatars.
Kyoshi has her own series now. They published two novels about her time
They also published a novel about Yangchen
Kyoshi doesn’t need a series, she needs a bigger community
I also would love an iroh series! Even though he’s not an avatar I would love to see his dragon hunting years that shift into the morally grounded dude we knew in the original series
@@waltermelon920 yeah maybe a movie about those fire nation days
I liked Genji too. I know almost nothing about him but I really liked him so much and was so interested in learning more about him
One of the things that keep me believing at humanity is seeing what some minds can create. Avatar, Kipo, Steven Universe, Gravity falls and many other animations created universes so complex and impressive that they caught my attention. It makes me curious for what else people can make.
Don't forget Adventure Time!!
@@SuperBat63 absolutely, but I'm not worthy of saying the name of the gods
Avatar News just keeps getting better and better, I’m hugely looking forward for the new earth Avatar series. In my perspective, taking place after The Hundred Year War is the major conflict that concludes in the timeline of Avatar Aang and Korra. I’m willing to guess that the new series is like the 85th avatar in next 100 years.
There's more than 85 avatars
If they change the voice actors, I will not be happy. So this doesn’t sound good to me
@@MrSophire Do you want an Adult Aang that sounds like a 12 year old?
@@martinaguiluz4063 Technically we've only ever had adult Aang so yes. (jk)
@@martinaguiluz4063 Aang's original voice actor was a child, funny thing about kids is that they grow up. So Aang's voice actor is no longer a child and would have a grown up voice
I think I have an interesting way to prevent a long time jump as well as an unfortunate young death of Korra.
So, as we know Korra goes to the spirit realm for her 'honeymoon' and she is the Avatar with most interactions with spirits and their realm since the og. Another thing to remember is that Korra's and forthcoming avatars' connection with previous ones was severed in LOK.
What if Korra sacrifices her material presence(i.e. unable to re-enter the human world) to rekindle that connection with the previous avatars so as to preserve their knowledge and experiences.
I love this' what if'
While I definitely agree with this and I think it would make for an interesting idea but I'm gonna go a step further: I think that every avatar after Korra - while they deal with their own material/physical problems of world & on occasion dealing with a spirit world, I think the overall goal should be to reconnect with the past avatars but everything should be an equal & balanced exchange, so if you gonna have a story that is about reconnecting to the passed avatars lives it wouldn't just be in Korra's lifetime. I feel as this gives more of a purpose to the avatar than just be able to defeat the villain of a particular avatar's lifetime or being the "Savior" of the world, and there'll be more of a neverending reason to capturing them because there are thousands of avatars and 100s more that will keep coming for the future kind of like a pokemon-esq of catching them all but never really reaching it but being on the journey regardless.
I guessing You didnt hear of legend of gengi
I’m hoping that we fans are right and the next avatar has to fix the lasts biggest mistake hers could be the severing
@@P2020pudding1 I don't know the comment was directed at me or the main commenter, but I've seen legend of Genji and for the most part the story is interesting and I like it but I just find it kind of a copy of a situation with kyoshi since I read the novels.
I have speculated that avatar studios might have shut LoG down when they stopped releasing chapters. But I'm still hopeful that they bought the series and decided to animate it due to its immense popularity and good storyline. I'm just sad that we didn't get to see Genji enter his avatar state 😩
I grew up with ATLA and it's honestly to this day my favorite show ever produced. I've seen it all the way through dozens of times, something I've never done with any other show. I'm reaching a point in my life that I've got a kid old enough to appreciate it and she loves watching ATLA and LOK with me. I'm super excited for all the new stuff to start coming out so we can explore it together. I'm very worried about the VA changes though. The voices of the original are so iconic and linked so deeply with the characters. I couldn't imagine Jack de Senna not being Sokka or Donte Bosco not being Zuko. Hopefully they won't recast for the animated movie though, as it seemed that article was about a game.
Thanks for the update,I’ve mainly been using you for my avatar info so thanks for keeping us informed
Damn you are not so smooth with wording, are you? Lol
@@Eh......... uhh what? ._.
@@Marvelfanatic3658 "using you"
@@Eh......... no, not rearly
The thing about ethnically correct voice acting, to me at least, is that it doesn’t really matter. The characters in the show barely speak with an accent, and in any case, their accents should be different than ours. Either way, there is no actual racial difference to our voices. For example, if a Vietnamese person is adopted into an American family at a young age, they will speak perfect English. Now, since the characters in avatar all speak with pretty neutral American accents, I see no real reason why the voice actors has to change. Like, there is literally zero difference in the vocal chords of different “races”. It’s all in the language.
Exactly. The idea is that the industry is still biased towards white actors, so there is an issue with ethnic actors getting the same opportunities as their white counterparts, and that absolutely needs to be addressed. But replacing currently casted actors with ethnic substitutes is not going to solve that issue. How about just make sure when you are casting a VA, you are picking the best actor for the job based on their talent and accurate portrayal of the character, and not their physical features or loose racial connections? Besides, if we delegate ethnic voice actors to only portraying characters they look like, that will minimize their career prospects even further, considering the lack of racial representation in current visual media. Seems pretty obvious, but the performative support movement is strong in these big corporations. Notice how they announce that they are hiring ethnic actors rather than just doing it like its a normal thing? "Look at us! We're so progressive!" Come on. Literally almost no one is going to know if the voice actor is white or not unless they are big nerds who follow that kind of behind the scenes news. It's hidden advocacy. If you want to portray accurate ethnic stories to the majority of consumers, put it where it makes a difference, in the visual side of storytelling, which Avatar is already doing! Just my thoughts.
I think that being a pure meritocracy is only a fantasy. If a certain group has a systematic advantage, that group will have more experience, more connections , more opportunities accessible/offered to them, and so they will have a higher chance of getting these positions. I don't know if you work, but human bias is present in every industry, regardless of talent or ability. Film and TV is no different, in fact its famous for it, plenty of talented and skilled ppl go nowhere bc connections are everything, opportunities are not open to everyone. So if a certain group has always gotten more access to opportunity, you have to actively do the work in order to get other groups into the industry, to communicate and make opportunities accessible to them. This is the thing ppl always miss, lots of ppl have the skills, not everyone is offered the chance bc a specific, cough cough white ppl, group is given most of those roles. They have the connections, the network and the resources to access opportunities and roles that other ppl won't, and saying "oh the most qualified person should get it" won't happen if creators are not actively making an effort to access nonwhite talent to give them a shot.
@@ks9759 "The idea is that the industry is still biased towards white actors". Go to Japan or Korea and see if they favor white actors in their media.
@@paulodelima5705 ATLA is being produced in America, so I am speaking to that industry specifically. The population of Japan is 98.5% Japanese, and nearly 100% of the Korean population is Korean, so of course their casting would reflect that. America is racially mixed, a "melting pot" as it were, with a long history of well documented systemic racism. You're making an irrelevant comparison.
@@user-po3nr7ez3n That's a good point. I suppose it's a bit lofty to wish the industry would play fair, but I don't believe that a majority of the those working in it are purposefully racist, it's more about just blatant ignorance and upholding the status quo, which can be just as harmful. I agree there will have to be purposeful changes implemented, but it does circle back still to who is a good fit. Should I cast someone just to make sure they get a shot in the industry, even if they don't have the talent or are a good fit for the role? I don't think so. But if they are a good fit, and do have the talent, and so does their white counterpart, I think it wouldn't be entirely remis of me to consider the industry's racial discrimination as a whole, and make the final choice based on that. I know some would disagree with me here, because as soon as ethnicity/gender/sex etc. enters into areas where it shouldn't really have any bearing on the matter, it's a slippery slope. But because of the systemic racism/sexism/etc. that is already in place, those things are relevant whether they should be or not. It's a tough situation, and I'm not sure you and I can solve it here in a TH-cam comment thread. I think we all wish we could live in a fairer world, and that gives me some hope, because if the desire for change is there, we may yet see it done.
The original voice actors is part of what made the series great. Especially Sokka and Toph
Honestly if Genji got bought as a concept that would be a huge shock but an incredible one.
Honestly I really hope these avatar projects are extremely awesome because I really love avatar and I want these years to be awesome and good for avatar
The end bit was extremely accurate to my dad. He thinks very little of animation (his daughter is an artist) but when he first watched a few episodes of breaking bad he thought he found the height of TV entertainment. Which it is good, but there is so much he is missing out on simply because he won't give it a chance.
Personally, I think once the Gen xers finally die off (we’ll all be old by then) the world will finally be on equal footing with animation.
Actually did an entire paper in college on adult animation, animated adult content, and kid friendly content geared towards adults. A lot of my classmates didn't even realize just exactly how much of the animation they watched as kids was not actually meant for children, and it changed a lot of views on "cartoons are for kids".
I'm both excited and kinda worried. I wonder how much more modern it'll be and how they'll execute it. Korra, i think did fantastic with the tech upgrade from ATLA, but i feel that might be how modern they can really make it without pushing bending out. who knows, maybe they'll surprise us with something just as good
If Dante Bosco is not zuko I will refuse to watch any further Avatar content permanently
I’m already dropping them for not using Jack. Like the video said he is Souka, more so then Donte is Zuko.
Yeah great stuff ahead but i think Korra still needs some more emphasis , the character has great potential.
It would be really cool if Genji was animated
As for the voice actors, as a child I watched Avatar dubbed in my language and everything was great, Sokka has a great voice there too. But then I always watched in the original with subtitles and now it would be difficult for me to put up with new voices
LoGs Team came out and said they went on hiatus because of illnesses, burnout, etc. And with the announcement of Avatar Studios they also stepped back because they wanted to wait to see if they announced that fanmade stuff can be slapped with a C&D like how Erin Hunter is doing it to Warrior Cat fanartists.
Yeah, sad for Genji hopefully since Genji's creators are known, hopefully the official avatar staff talks to them or something..
For this new series, I hope Nickelodeon does not copy Genji and makes their own original ideas. But I at least hope they make this new avatar a sand bender at least
I feel like a metal bender would make more sense in a modern setting. Especially with modern buildings.
@@rai2423 I'm sure it'll be original. Otherwise they'd have to pay the creator some type of royalties and I doubt Nickelodeon would want to do that.
@@kingdingaling6516 They really wouldn't. In fact, technically speaking the creators of Genji are violating copyright with their story, however, the creators of Avatar have given the writers of Genji their blessing.
@@kingdingaling6516 I hope so. There’s no point creating a story people already know. We need completely new characters and storylines, from the creators.
Since the ending of Korra me and my mates have been joking about “Avatar the Legend of Bob” which would tell the story of the earthbender avatar and would be just set in present day and everybody would be so done with the whole avatar thing by then and it would be hilarious. Now it’s happening.
Live action Avatar? What a new and exciting idea that can't possibly go wrong!
This aged well
I'm so excited!
Me too
Same !!! I’m excited for all of the new avatar creations that’s coming 😁😊
I think since the characters are aged up, changing the voice actors isn’t the end of the world. I would prefer the originals but it shouldn’t be too jarring since they’re older anyway.
I still wish they'd at least keep Sokka's voice actor.😕
@@sarahcatlove3646 Agreed. I’m sure they’ll cast someone fitting for the role but it’s big shoes to fill.
The new voice actors absolutely have big shoes to fill. If they disappoint, it will affect the whole legacy of these series and they'll just remain another token minority casting by Netflix.
I don't know man. Voice actors can actually maintain their voice pretty well through aging. Take a look into Bleach and Bleach TYBW, Ichigo's voice actor Masakazu Morita was 34 when he first began vocing for Bleach, now he's 52 and still voicing Ichigo in TYBW anime and sounds about the same as he did when Bleach was still airing in 2012, and TYBW anime also brough all of the same VA back for other characters even though it's been 10 years since Bleach was last aired, but they still sound the way they used to voice their characters. So aging doesn't actually affect voice actors' voice that much unless we go beyond the threshold of 60. I'm pretty sure Sokka's voice actor can still do Sokka's voice lines with some minor differences due to age (which would have been acceptable).
@@laisensei6984 I’m not doubting the voice cast’s abilities at all, I think they could all come back and do an amazing job. But Avatar Studios is committed to using ethnically accurate performers, so it’s out of the question for many of them to return. All I’m saying is that the aging-up will make the inevitable casting changes a little less jarring. Still not thrilled about it but hopeful that they’ll cast fitting replacements.
I am so excited I remember the first time I watched the first episode of Avatar when i was 11, and now i’m gonna be 18 by the time the final movie comes out. Avatar was and always will be my favorite show/franchise
Give us some of the stuff we missed in the Korra! Let us know what happened to Sokka and Suki! Who was Su's dad? This should be an awesome series.
I understand the sadness some people would feel, but the motivations of Avatar Studios for making changes to the voices are sound. They have good reason to want to have actors from the proper ethnicity in the role, because the community has been clamoring for it. And also, people have quite simply have different voices from the time of their teens to the time of their adulthood. That said, hearing Jenny Kwan as Suki, for example, and hearing the voices of others as Sokka and someone else as Toph would be a big change. But i'm willing to give it a chance.
I think they should’ve stayed the same
They are made up people that don’t exist, it doesn’t matter who the voice actors are. The Northern Water Tribe is comprised of imaginary people from the North Pole that control water, they aren’t real Inuit people. And even if they were, who cares?
@@xaviercopeland2789 I *never* said the nations of Avatar *were* direct analogues of earth cultures. But you might want to check your sentiments. I'd say you're widely out of touch with the feelings of most fans, who are concerned with matters like equality in representation and cultural appropriation, as well as the feelings of the creators.
I'm very annoyed that they are skipping so far into Aang's story. I wanted to see what happened after the final scene of season 3.
Like
- The Gang finding out about Kataang
- Zuko's mother storyline
- Dealing with the amediate aftermath from the 100 year war
How are they going to do that when most of the voice actors grew up?
@@rai2423 A few of them can still do their voices, and they seem to be okay with changing voice actors anyway, so that isn't really an issue.
Yeah, I want to see them as teenagers first, then maybe some stories in their 20s, but nowhere near the Korra flashbacks yet.
@rai2423 that literally does not matter in the slightest. Just recast Characters like Aang. The Actor doesn't even want to act agian anyway
Did you read the comics
Hearing this news, makes me feel excited!
For those worried about a modern version of avatar, it would be completely different from ours.
There's tons of room for creativity.
And also with the opening of the spirit portals I feel like tech development would slowed down, regress, or evolve into something completely new and more fantastical, it'll be a contrast of the grounded nature of the new avatar
@@Kyss111 I imagine The spirit portal opening, and the vine energy would probably work like Avatar´s world equivalent of Nuclear energy obtained through fission? And with the spirit portals the world would likely devellop teleportation tech faster than internet.
So Korra´s legacy is tied to making sure the spirit vine energy is used for good and next Avatar has to make sure the follow up appliances for it like Teleportation portals, arent misused, on top of having to deal with the Sozin´s Comet coming back.
OMG! I'm so excited! I hope for Team Avatar 3, the group will consist of the Earthbender avatar, a male waterbender, a female airbender (TLK Team Avatar did not have Airbender in the group due to show having child air benders and the Air Nomad culture was being rebuilt during that time), a female firebender, and two non bender twins (one who is a spirit medium and the other is a mechanic). I know it'll be two years for the show to come out, but I am just so excited to see the next generation of Avatar.
Whaaaat?! Can't wait for all of this!! Oh dear! A movie with grown up Aang? I'm gonna cry for sure! Thx for the update!
YO ITS GENJIN TIMEEEE!!!!!!!
Bro this is so hype! I only got into Avatar a couple months ago, there couldn’t have been better timing :)
I am so glad I entered back into the Avatar Fandom!!! I can’t wait to see all of these when they come out!
Honestly, I don't know if I like all the new avatar stuff being made. I feel like a lot of what made the original show good is the messages it portrayed through it, and that's going to change with different writers/producers. Like yea the world of avatar is pretty cool and a lot can be done with it, but that's only part of what made the original show so good. I'm worried that the studios are just trying to milk some money out of the series and are gonna heavily commercialize it, like how Disney has done with Marvel and most of its properties.
They destroyed my interests with Korra. That series went down the drain. And adding in a lesbian attraction at the end. Like really. Leave that out. It's just pandering. Avatar was a masterpiece. I would have been happier knowing nothing came after that because Korra was a train wreck and didn't make sense. One example being she used the avatar state nonstop and still got her ass beat. Your telling me after thousands of avatars and all the knowledge they provide that her ass gets handed to her while using it over and over. It's a defense mechanisms not a cheat code to life . Also it seemed less powerful too. Like suddenly average fighters stood a chance.
@@jonathansand5117 that’s the thing though, she never relied on the past lives and she severed the connection to them 😂🤦🏽♀️. I don’t like the show but season 1 is the most entertaining to me with season 3 being the best paced season, I think it was all how it was handled. They tried bringing politics into a show that was about bringing peace to a world with balance being apart of that. Korra tried to use balance without forgetting the peace. There was a lot that could’ve been done with Korra but it didn’t happened.
Yes plz !!!
Seeing older Aang and continuing the series is amazing 👏🏾
I'd like to see an avatar series take place in the future. The plot can be that benders are dying out for some reason. Non benders become a greater threat.
Totally agree with you on the 'ethnically accurate' actors for the voices.
Granted, if the benders in the original series doesn't regard to ethnicity with "race color" but by their own logic of whomever is a fire bender or water bender then having realistic voice actors matching that ethnicity is meaningless.
I don’t think I’m ready to accept that Korra also died and there’s a new avatar, I wanna see her and asami be more developed on screen not as flashbacks or right at the very end!
Edit- people pissing me off saying it’s just a character and to move on like I don’t know that already. If you don’t feel the same way as me just don’t comment here comment somewhere else
Read the comics
Aren't they working on a Korra movie too? Maybe that will satisfy you.
Either way korra would die like every human and thats the whole concept of atla, a avatar reborn in each nation every time. I don't get why people can't accept that for the new series like korra defenitly wouldn't live forever
@@a_sinan reincarnation.
As long as she dies old and after living a loving life with Asami, I'm fine with her death.
2:46 I am all of those types of fans. I want my favorite franchise to be a huge success 🙌🏼. Also, changing the voice actors for the animation is kinda lame. Especially Zuko🙌🏼
Thank you very much for covering the news! Waiting impationately for all of these, so hyped that my favorite show is getting attention it deserved. After film i think there will be influx of new fans that will now dare to watch the original and Korra series (i know that not everybody liked the Korra story, but let's get real, animations and martial arts are on point here, and personally i liked the story too). And after that all of old and new fans alike will go watch series about new avatar. Stakes are high, we can get to the hype level of new Star Wars movies, except not ruined!
Is that music from Parasyte the Maxim playing at 7:20?...very nice good sir!
Thanks for keeping people like me in the loop
I'm excited about this but nervous that it will turn into some weird sci-fi genre with advanced tech. I liked the technology of avatar better than Korra. Thanks so much for the video! Gives me a reason to look forward to next year haha
The Series has been very sci-fi since the beginning. In fact the original idea for Ang was a futuristic story with robots…
@@rai2423 I mean it hasn't though?
@@day7163 So tanks, Zeppelins and other advanced flying machanics aren’t sci-fi related to you? They’ve been moving towards that since the beginning. The New Aang movie will also have advanced technology. It’s their vision.
@@rai2423 Uh no? That sounds at most like steampunk, and really I wouldn't even call Avatar that. The technologically had very little presence and focus. It was based around the fantasy elements. The main vehicle of transportation being a Flying Bison for example.
Edit: it's not even sci-fi fantasy there's no science fiction elements. Like how some world will have some sci-fi thing closely tied into the setting.
@@day7163 Steampunk is a sub-genre of sci-fi. And Avatar is very steampunky. The main transportation is only a sky bison for the protagonists. Notice how the antagonist use steamboats, ships and other forms of machinery to get around 😉
I would be very glad to read/watch some stories featuring the early period of the Great War started by Sozin. I remember several great battles against the Earth Kingdom won by Azulon mentioned in the ATLA series, there could be some epic stories taking place. And we don't know anything about the Earth Kingdom royal house of that era. I know Avatar himself will be obviously absent there, but this could possibly be a very interesting and brand new element for the franchise. What do you think about it?
ohh this reminds me it is time to do my yearly rewatch on avatar (i have watched A:TLA more than 30 times so far but i watch it more than once a year most the times sometimes it is around 3 to 4 times a year)
"Ethnically accurate voices."
Ah yes because there are real life air nomads, water tribesman, earth kingdom citizens, and fire nation citizens that we can talk to...in real life.
I don't mind when voice actors are of the same race as the characters they play because representation behind the screen matters. However, it doesn't make any sense that they're recasting all the original voices because of this. It's not like the characters are being aged up the way they are in LOK. This is going to drastically alter the characterization.
It's called acting for a reason. I didn't throw a fit when Phil Lamar voiced a white kid. I don't cry because Goku is voiced by a white person for the Dub. This crap is getting out of hand and it's ruining media. Just look at all the destroyed franchises this nonsense has left in its wake. Star Wars, Terminator, Star Trek, Batman, Wonder Woman, SheHulk, Thor, Superman, and soon to be Avatar.
I’d like to say go woke go broke but as we’ve clearly seen the masses eat this shit up willingly for breakfast lunch and dinner. Instead of focusing on what really matters they’re going to push out old fans in favor of this SJW bullshit. 🙄
This guy's right. Some of my friends bullied me for enjoying animated things even though some of the best stories are animated.
It’s great to hear news about avatar
I fully agree with you.
Socka is a legend and the voice actor should get the respect he deserves.
I have no idea why they would replace him it doesn't make any sense to me.
Because the stupid woke crowd are racist and hate white people.
Anyone else think this channel is hugely underrated
i do!
Nah he milkes the bare avatar news
150k is a lot of subscribers, so no, not really
@@thijmstickman8349 true ig but i feel like he puts a lot of work into this channel
No
I’m so freaking hyped
I'm....
You do know they could just.... Write humor into the script
Imo AZULA's VA is who I'm skeptical about because of her voice is just so iconic
same man I love Genji's concept I hope they were either bought or they are on a hiatus
Please please please be that the creators of Legend of Genji got "bought out"/compensated for the work they put in. They did an amazing job and I was/am so excited to see where they take the story. Genji's 1st Avatar reveal would be amazing!
thanks made my day
I think it would be sick to see modern day sports (good example is hockey with ice bending) mixed with bending
I think the purpose of canon is to make sure things don't get confusing.
I'm holding out hope for a animated movie about Korra and her friends in their primes ( early 30's )
The legend of Genji in comics is similar to the storyline of Kiyoshi's story because in it, there is a character named Yun who is believed to be the true Avatar. It turns out that Kiyoshi, who is a maid in the Avatar palace, is actually the Avatar. Similarly, in The Legend of Genji, there is also a character who gains fame as the Avatar. I am confused about whether Kiyoshi's story or Genji's story in the comics is true.
Damn I’m excited (also slightly sad bc I was working on a new avatar but whatevs)
How will anyone copy Grey Griffin’s voice for Azula…?
honestly i do hope A.S. take Genji pay the team a ton of money and bring the writers on to keep their vision for it. like you said they got so much right, plus the social issues in genji are very good, they fit just like with Korra and how each of the seasons delt with oppression of some kind, that continued with Genjis first episode where the sand benders are starting to fight back against the 'rules' put in place to keep them in line. i guess thinking about it know even ATLA dealt with oppression in mostly just the 1 form, the imperial crushing power of the fire nation and then smaller notions like Katarra not being allowed to train as a water bender in the north poll. but with Genji coming from a place of being oppressed and impoverished and eventually being revealed as the avatar the hope that would bring to those in his position that he'll actually be able to do something. and i want to see where that story goes :3
Genji is a trainwreck of a concept, and the name is dog shit
@not the droids you're looking for wow, what crawled up your ass and died? Got any justification for that?
Nice !!
What's the song playing behind the Avatar discussion around 6:02?
Honestly i hope we get a few more seasons out of korra to finish up her story
Hey, as someone in the Genji team, but speaking only from myself, I'm going to say this:
My mental health took one of my biggest hits this year and I have almost entirely lost my passion for drawing as a result; I'm working on to heal myself but it will take long time.
We have not been approached by Avatar Studios or anything like that.
This is all I am going to say.
Thanks for reading
I am sorry
Thats sad to hear, you gotta pull yourself more out there with the work, kinda like Retro ryno and Toyotarou, you may get contacted afterwards.
Im really glad theyre making a new aang movie. Getting into korra was so hard cuz things changed so much and also it was kinda hard to let go of aang
The Buffy comics used a concept I think Avatar could have used to great effect. Have the Avatar a few centuries in the future be twins. 1 gets the physical aspect with control of all forms of bending and the other gets the spiritual aspect (along with energy bending). Watching the dynamic would be fresh and new and the possible conflicts of between the twins would be epic. Korra messed it up a bit destroying the line but it could still work, you just need to set it far enough back when there are a few past Avatars in the new line.
Avatar is going to be kind of a Jojo multigenerational series, really exited about that
As a pretty hard-core fan of Aang, and a decent one of Korra. I’m not too happy with the idea of them going the future route with another avatar after korra. A big reason why people didn’t like korra was specifically because of the advancement of technology, and the world changes that came with era advancement. I just don’t like imagining an avatar world set in some modernized time period. And honestly, bending just seems like it “fits” better in a world without modern convenience and tech…Stick to previous avatars.. bring back Aang, focus A LOT on Kyoshi. keep it in the past.
Love thr parasyte music at the end
I'm really really counting on this one 🥺 Because I was sad when the Avatar World ended with Korra. Avatar fan's need more content,so I hope 🤞🤞this time every project related to Avatar goes smoothly & successfully
You’re absolutely right!
I think changing an already established casting of a cartoon for ethnic accuracy's sake is beyond dumb.
You can't tell what race people are from their voice alone
Sokkas goofy voice was a huge part of his personality, they can't just replace Jack DeSena and expect the new voice actor to create the same vibe as the old one
I would really like for Genji to be incorporated into the official franchise, with some minor changes here and there. Also I really hope they won't overwrite the books and novels completely.
ATLA and TLOK (mostly the 1st one) have been a huuuuuuuuge part of who I am today, so it makes me really glad they live on!
IM SO EXCITED FOR THAT MOVIE AND THE NEW SERIES. I’ve been waiting since Korra 😩
I will be glad to see the Avatar and glad to hear the same people. I really hope they will do it justice.
who really likes korra? tbh the character with the most development was arguably Zuko or the cabbage guy.
I'm not going to lie, in season two of Korra I felt like the original story was being disrespected when I saw all the avatars being erased. I saw aang and Roku vanish and then I wanted to turn the show off. But I kind of like the direction that avatar studios is taking by making a movie for aang. It reassures that even if the next avatars can't talk to him, that he's not forgotten. I really hope that avatar bought Genji too.
i know, i like to think that the disconectiin is just a massive block, even though it isnt, i hope that future avatars will be able to speak to raava and learn about past avatars, or just go to the spirit world
despite that i still loved korra and am so so exited for the earth avatar series
Korra basically klled the past lives
@@Lodada makes absolutely no sense to me why they would do that. They can never come back ever. If they do come back it’s going to be some dumb cop out.
@@rockethito I think they can come back from it, if they make the New protagonist rediscover them through some spiritual quest. It’s only of course if they want to, which I doubt.
@@Lodada no she didn't.
0:03 to 0:05 Does anyone know the source of where the dude airbending the dice as well as the scene right after it where it says "To Legendary new heights" is from? I've been looking at different trailers and scenes everywhere and can't seem to find either.
Thanks!
I would love to see an avatar who started of as an antagonist like a crook and then later became good.
Edit: Or maybe an avatar who came from a family of evil.
Considering Korra's time was during the time period of the 20s/30s, I wonder if this new Avatar would be more in the 80s or 90s time period.
I only hope that Korra is allowed to live up to her old age before kicking the bucket.She probably wouldn't live to be as old as Roku was but, it would be cool if she could get near it age-wise.
An Avatar living a somewhat peaceful life after all she did and went through(and after making spirits and human live together) would be nice.
This way we also know that she and Asami would've lived together for so long(so there is hope of marriage there too).
It's gonna be in the 2020s because it takes place 100 years after korra
Nah they need to stop with that Asami ass pull. They only did it so they could say they did
@@Frazier16 Was it announced that it would be this modern?
Stop comparing her time to our time you can’t
@@lamarjrrj What you mean?
Please let the new Avatar be Genji!
Yeah
The seris can be inspired by genji
I'd rather it not. There are some good ideas but not enough that I'd want it to become canon.
Wathced avatar series this year, I'm still in school but I'll be in my first year of uni when this releases, I'm so excited
i personally would love to see movies or a tv show exploring some of the past avatars we know by name, but not necessarily their life. one of my favorite avatars is kuruk and you only learn about his life from the kyoshi books. it would be so cool to see that explored in a visual, rather than just reading way
Avatar Legends maybe? The mythology of the Avatar and his/her interactions with Spirit entities really helps out with the worldbuilding too, we got a good chunk of Avatar´s who´s entire life legacy is quite literally determine by how well or poorly they handle a interaction with X Spirit entity.
I LOVED A:tLA. Just adored it. I tried Kora, but couldn't get through it. I think I watched 3 episodes. I hope the new stuff is good.
I wouldn't say "canon is over" or "canon means nothing." All that is changing is that the comics will no longer be canon and the live-action stuff will be its own adaptation. That's it. Everything else will be canon, unless they plan on creating multiple alternate universes, which I don't think is likely.
I’m excited about all this new stuff, but....
NOOOOOOOO!!!!! Don’t kill Korra!!!!!!
I'm so excited can't wait !!!!! So will we be getting THE Legend Of Genji season one ? because if we are that will be awesome .
what a good time to be an avatar fan lmao
i just started watching atla this year a few months ago lol
