/a/ - Avatar

>a case can be made for /a/ to be converted into /vol/ after the series premieres

How about no? That can go on /jam/ or something.

But it's not an anime or Japanese.

these two are fun

>>119354
Because it takes fewer people and less time to do it, and it takes less skill to make "passable" CGI animation than it does to make traditional animation at the level of something like Avatar.

>>119355

I would argue that Korra had better than "passable" and I'm reasonably certain that even if you're not paying in man-hours, you're paying in something else. The budget did take a nasty hit during the show, we know that for sure because of the clip episode, but Avatar/Korra has always had a pretty decent production budget...not as much as it deserves, sure, but the Avatar franchise has always had it a bit shit over at Nick.

I think the reason for less writers, initially, was that Korra was supposed to end at Book 1 (again, initially.) Then book 2 came along and Mike and Bryan hammered that out, but book 3 and 4 were concurrently produced and intertwined a whole lot more than the first two did, which meant more writers.

Even good CGI tends to cost less than traditional animation. They might be getting a discount if keyframing and storyboarding's being done in Japan because traditional animation is cheaper in Japan since they don't have the same union protections over there (though regardless of where keyframing is done, inbetweening is generally done in Korea, where it's cheapest--it's relatively rare to have keyframing and storyboarding done in Korea for an American or Japanese production though).

I read the comic book, and Lao isn't nearly as much of an ass as Satoru’s uncle.

>>117913

It's from the Book 3 ATLA finale where Suki and Katara go off looking for Aang on Ember Island only to encounter Actress Aang and Actor Toph doing a street performance.

>>117914
heh be neat if we got some wall exaggerated animation in the beginning episodes of book four and Varrick is making a Korra mover and Korra is the technical advisor.

Hey him being around gave Asami room to make her move. So not all bad.

Hopefully it will be better than the Suki comic, which had poor art and the plot basically was "don't be ashamed if you're a girl".

>>119216
>Granted, DC mega-dropped the ball on that front, releasing one of the single most depressing and violent goddamn things ever with a bleak future of various superheroes getting mutilated and killed left and right...
I guarantee the higher ups seriously thought thats what kids were into.

>>119202
Though part of the reason it didn't preform so well is because they stuck it in a terrible time slot. They are doing the same to Ninja Turtles now.

Though on the Digital side of things sales were always strong.

Another sweet musical Korra cover http://youtu.be/g1wNKgzIn5M

The last audio cue will probably remain my favorite bit of music from Korra. It's so fucking good.

You might remember an ATLA video setting the Finale to How Far We've Come made shortly after it aired. It's been deleted for years. Here is another youtube user's spin on Korra as a whole using the same song.

>>119209

Going by what the OP said, Asami's probably fine and just as worried as everybody else outside in Republic City.

It's Korra and Kuvira who're stuck.

>>119210
Then how did Korra manage to walk hand in hand with Asami if she was merely a ghost and from the physical world to the spirit world?

>>119211

Um...I'm not sure you fully read the OP's post. It's an AU scenario in which Korra and Kuvira actually die in the blast and now they're spirits that're bound together, trapped in the Spirit World. It's an alternate universe, I think we can presume the celebration at the end doesn't go the same way. Hell, given Asami's line of being unable to handle losing Korra the same day she lost her dad, we can presume it's a pretty dark one for her.

News, they are switching from factions to towny and a new bigger map.

Cute but I wonder how they're going to incorporate airbending.

>>118989
It's Book 1 so they can not worry about airbending.
Clear pieces could be used though.

>>118991
Trying to think of which ones, they've likely got a few from the Ninja-go stuff that would fit the purpose.

>>118827
>Without the explanation it's almost impossible to figure out what this scene is meant to mean or even if it has any signicance.
Actually plenty of people figured it out. That's why there have been so many arguments over it.

>>118827
People have been saying it since the day Book 1 ended. Only the most stubborn Mako haters (of which there are sadly quite a few) refused to believe it until Remembrances passive-aggressively shoved it in their faces.

>Bumi could earthbend things he could see even when he's not in contact with the earth; this was how he escaped the metal cage he was trapped in.

The metal cage. Metal. You know, the stuff earthbenders actually can move if they know what they're doing. And which is also a famously good conductor of energy. Even if you can't move the metal itself it's far from unlikely that earthbending can carry through it like it does the ground.

What was impressive about Bumi isn't the metal of the cage, it's that he could do all that with nothing but his face.

Actually, the guy complaining about the rail cannon was me, and I can absolutely confirm that I am not the person you are talking to. FYI, I also think that the giant robot is dumb from a practicality standpoint, but I can think of a compelling in-universe reason for it...

>Baatar Jnr: "I was going to mount the weapon on a giant airship, but you should have seen the way she reacted when I brought up the giant mech-suit idea. I usually only get that treatment on my birthday!"

Someone hasn't seen the second episode of the Clerks Animated Series.

"I'm Dante and I'm the biggest idiot ever."

Sorry, but nothing can possibly beat "It's just a mover, don't think about it too much".
