The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra

I love the first series. Not much the movie version though. Heehee. Anyway, so yeah imagine my excitement when the creators of Avatar: The Last Airbender announced that they’re creating a spin-off of the said series. New characters and new experiences in the Avatar universe. That’s really something to look forward to. 🙂

So what’s the new spin-off series  and what it is all about? The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra, originally titled Avatar: The Legend of Korra, takes place 70 years after the end of the last series (Avatar: The Last Airbender).

Set in a steampunk style metropolis where the people now have the supernatural ability to control and manipulate the earth, air, water and fire elements, Korra, a hot headed, rebellious and independent young woman who descended from the Southern Water Tribe, is the next Avatar incarnating Aang.

Korra already mastered the Water, Earth and Fire element and only needs to learn airbending. And that’s basically where new series picks up. It’ll depicts Korra’s adventures as she learns to master Airbending and prove herself to be the only and true master of all four elements. Korra will learn airbending from Tenzin, Aang and Katara’s youngest son, and Korra will have  a Polar bear dog animal guide named Naga.

No definite date yet as to when is the release of new series. But it’s expected to air in Nickelodeon in mid-2012. For now let’s all be contented and watch the preview below. 🙂
