This is a pre-release review. The show airs on April 14th, 2012, on Nickelodeon. Nickelodeon leaked the first 2 episodes, and this is my review from watching that. This will not contain any spoilers.
So you know how all spin-off series suck?
WRONG.
If you're a fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender, then I know you've been curious about how this is gonna turn out. Skeptical, even.
Don't be.
The basic storyline is as follows:
Korra is the new Avatar. At her birth, her family knew it, and told her at a very young age. By the age of 5 or 6, she already had control of 3 of the 4 elements. However, airbending doesn't come to her, so she must seek out a master in the art. She finds Aang's son. (Aang was the previous Avatar.) They have conflicting personalities, and she still has trouble understanding the bending qualities of Air.
The major conflict is not between nations anymore. There's now dissension between the benders and non-benders. There is a revolution started by a non-bender who convinces non-benders that they are oppressed by the benders. The goal is to make bending illegal.
As you can see, it's already setting up for a really great series.
Great graphics.
Great characters.
Great story.
Great dialogue.
I'm really excited to see how this show takes off, and I will be a faithful viewer. :)
