Aaaaaack! A thread for when none of the existing threads fit.

Ack ack ack, ack ack ack, ack ack! This was uploaded one year ago and features clips from the audio-commentary of the series. //youtube.com/watch?v=Mg1RnAGncBQ Makes me wonder if this was Janet Varney's decision.

Ack ack ack The Good, the Bad, the Weird.

Ack ack ack ack ack ack First bit of news on the comics since the new boards. The Rift's Library cover is out.

Ack-ack ack ack! What happened to these overly exaggerated, 4th wall breaking animated bits in LOK?

Ack! Ack ack ack-ack ack! > Everyone subestimates him yet... > Destroys the Earth Kingdom with a single phrase. > Convinces the Avatar to help him. > Nobody saw it coming. > Also, forced the series into a clip-show episode. Prince Wu confirmed for ultimate villain mastermind.

Ack ack ack BOOK 4 EPISODES 11 AND 12 - DAY OF THE COLOSSUS AND THE LAST STAND No screencap for this OP. I think this gif made by the korranews tumblr will suffice perfectly. We all remember that first image of Korra's stunningly toned back released back in 2010, and at the end of this day her animated story will come to an end. Comics post finale are said to be in the works ala the ATLA comics that are ongoing. Kuvria's Evil Big O and her army are moving in on Republic City. It's up to Korra, her Krew, and the rest of her allies to stop her. And ultimately up to Korra to restore Balance to the Earth Kingdom. IT'S SHOWTIME! ONLINE RELEASE ON NICK.COM at 12 MIDNIGHT EASTERN STANDARD US TIME, 9PM PACIFIC. If you live outside the US, the korranews tumblr has alternatives for you here in their masterpost http://korranews.tumblr.com/post/105299566675/here-it-is-the-final-masterpost-the-one-hour Amazon, itunes, and the usual suspect will have digital VOD copies live at their usual ~3AM EST time. Nicktoons will air the last 4 episodes in a single block Friday night at 9PM EST. What a wild ride this show has been, let's all take in its conclusion and enjoy our collective emotional deaths. One last thing: FUCK NICKELODEON.

All green of skin... 800 centuries ago, their bodily fluids include the birth of half-breeds. For the fundamental truth self-determination of the cosmos, for dark is the suede that mows like a harvest. "Are we ... dead?" "Yes." ... Now this is probably a terribly silly thing, but I keep thinking about a scenario in which they both actually died, after what happened (The Avatar's protective air shield collapsed, creating the spirit portal around their solidified corpses - making their figures faintly visible from both sides, but also keeping them out of reach for everyone). And now they're bound to wander around as ghosts/spirits, eternally 'tied' to one another since... that spirit energy bubble Korra forced around themselves transcended along with their souls into the afterlife (or put differenlty the spirit world) ... or something along those lines - I'm not the best at story telling, which is the reason why I'm trying to bring this to you guys here... I suppose I'm just conjuring this up to dream of backing up my Korvira shippings...

Ack-ack ack ack! /r/thelastairbender has recently opened up an Avatar server on Minecraft with plans of adding quests to acquire new bending abilities. It is also a factions server and thought maybe we should have a plus4chan faction. Info here: http://www.reddit.com/r/TheLastAirbender/comments/2syrro/open_beta_live_release_now_again/ Pic is of the world map.

Ack! Ack! Ack! So, someone designed some models for a LOK Lego set and posted it to LEGO Ideas. This is the same site that designed the Ghostbusters set among others. I really like the design of the mechatank. It's still about 8,000 votes away from being reviewed. https://ideas.lego.com/projects/29158

Ack ack AKA Nickelodeon cutting Avatar off at the knees part 28 From Bryan's Tumblr: >A few preemptive words about Episode 408, “Remembrances”… >In a couple hours the eighth chapter of Korra Book 4 will be released online, and I suppose, if you are none the wiser, a few minutes into it you will feel duped and yell at your screen, “Hey! This is a crummy clips episode!” And that is (almost) exactly what it is––except we all worked really hard to make sure at the very least it isn’t crummy. I’m here to explain why we ended up having to do one. Sometime around a year and a half ago we were similarly duped on a large scale. We got the news from the higher-ups that our Book 4 budget was getting slashed, almost to the tune of an entire episode’s budget. We had two options: 1) let go a significant number of crew members several weeks early, or 2) make a clips episode. We never considered the first option. We weren’t going to do that to our crew, and even if we were callous enough to do so, we never would have been able to finish the season without them. But having grown up on TV in the ’80s and ’90s, we all dread clips episodes, where characters sit around saying, “Remember that time when…” and leftover footage is reheated for no one’s enjoyment. Anyone who suffered through TNG’s “Shades of Gray” knows what I’m talking about. >Anime fans know this is a common occurrence in Japanese series as well. In fact, as Mike hung his head in disappointment at our fate, I remembered how one of my favorite anime series, Samurai Champloo, made what I thought was a really awesome and clever clips episode. They mixed about 5 minutes of new footage in with the old, and set up a context where the characters would be reflecting on past events while narrating over them, offering new insights or at least providing some humor. I pitched this angle to Mike and he agreed this was the best way to turn this big old lemon into some lemonade. >Back on Avatar, we had something that functioned as a sort of clips episode, though it was all new animation and really hard to make, Episode 317, “The Ember Island Players.” Our heroes went to a play where they saw themselves and their tales performed by actors on stage. It was simultaneously a reckoning for the characters before they headed into the denouement, and a lighthearted romp where we got to poke fun at our own show before things got really serious in the remaining episodes. Korra’s “Remembrances” ended up serving the same function, albeit with old footage instead of a newly animated play. There is about 5 minutes of new footage, wonderfully animated by Studio Mir, and a bunch of funny and touching narration from the characters. There are also some fun chibi heads and other treats in there to spice up the old footage. >What started out as a reluctant chore ended up being a really fun episode to make, and in the end I truly love it. Mike did an awesome job directing it and storyboarding all the chibi hilarity, as well as overseeing the wonderful script by Josh Hamilton, Katie Mattila, and Tim Hedrick. Joaquim Dos Santos, Ryu Ki Hyun, and Lauren Montgomery drew fantastic storyboards for the new footage (particularly Lauren’s insane Varrick posing). Lots of other folks worked their tails off on this one, namely Amaris Calvin, our animatics editor; Christie Tseng, our character designer who drew and colored all of the final chibi art; Matt Gadbois, our After Effects editor; and Chris Hink, our final picture editor. Last but not least, Aran Tanchum and Vinny Guisetti on foley, Benjamin Wynn on sound design, and a stellar new score with all your favorite hits by Jeremy Zuckerman. And plenty of other fine folks I’m forgetting! >So now you know what it is and why it happened. I hope you do end up enjoying it after all, especially as a last lighthearted, nostalgic romp before POOP. GETS. REAL. And then the series is done. >Love, Bryan Get fucked Appa's gigantic cock, Nick.

They come in peace! After nearly taking down Kuvira using the Avatar State but coming up short, Korra and the airbenders escaped Zaofu and are returning to Republic City. Whatever mental hangups Korra has left is clearly being triggered by the confusing appearance of the haunting Dark Korra apparition. Perhaps reconnecting with her old friends can help the besieged Avatar take another step toward her mental healing? Zaofu has fallen and Opal swore to her improsoned family that she would return for them. What kind of plans can she muster with her allies for their rescue?

Ack ack ack ack ack ack The situation at Zaofu is in danger of going pear-shaped between Suyin and Kuvira's factions. With Korra's arrival, Kuvira gave the Avatar a 24 hour grace period to talk Su into a accepting diplomatic solution (aka, fucking surrender). When Korra arrived in the city, she was too late, as Su took her twin sons on an night time assassination mission! After Bolin, Varrick, and Zhu Li's attempted defections, Kuvira sent Bolin off to the prison camps and forced Varrick to continue his spirit vines research under lock and key while Zhu Li pledged her undying allegiance to Kuvira. What's the play here? And what fate awaits Bolin at Kuvira's Super Happy Re-eduction Camp? Check it out at 12 Noon EST Friday 11/7 on Nick.com (free with ads), the Nick mobile App (free with ads).

How will Su greet the Great Uniter after her threatening words back in Republic City? Korra reached a milestone on her road to recovery during her time with Toph in the Great Swamp. She removed the remains of the metallic poison Zaheer afflicted her with and she reconnected with Air Siblings that love her like a big sister. Ikki informed Korra of Kuvira's plans and they're making their way to Zaofu on the back of Pepper. How will the Avatar deal with her first major external conflict in over three years?

Ack ack ack ack ack... Ack ack! Korra has hit an impasse with Toph while staying with her in the Swamp. Toph advised Korra that only she can remove the rest of the poison inside her when she is willing to. So once again Korra is left with an internal struggle. As the fallout of Kuvira's power grab at Prince Wu's coronation sets in, it's clear to Tenzin that the Earth Kingdom needs its Avatar more than ever. He charges Jinora and her siblings with the task of finding Korra and bringing her home to Republic City. Will they run afoul of the Swamp's many pitfalls like their grandparents did over 70 years ago?

Ack ack ack! Ack! I've been reflecting on these last few seasons a bit and something struck me. For all the talk of "Change", doesn't LoK come off as leaning towards a rather conservative angle? Not even that. It can be read as an endorsement of authoritarian absolutism even. >The revolutionary movement is headed up by a fraud and quickly dies down when he's defeated. >The newly, due to public pressure elected president is an incompetent rubber-neck and opposes the heroes at all turns. >The Avatar makes live-changing decisions for the entire world without consulting the public first. >Otherwise she's only concerned with maintaining the status quo. >The killing of a despotic tyrant is ultimately showcased as a negative thing. And take a look at the supporting cast: Korra is best pals with a severe police chief and dated her favourite billy club. She also hangs out with two high society ponces, the leader of an entire nation, a general (son of another ruler) and Ayn Rand. Plus she's the daughter of a chieftain and technically a princess herself now. Season 3 is literally a a group of rich, powerful folk (who for the most part got to where they are through birthright and nepotism), bringing an army to flatten a ragtag group of rebels. This kinda doesn't sit easy with me.

Ack... Ack ack ack ack! Korra has been on the AWOL for the last six months. This episode will cover the trials and tribulations of her journey! Check it out at 12 Noon EST Friday 10/10 on Nick.com (free with ads), the Nick mobile App (free with ads). Amazon Video around 3AM EST.

This episode was screened today at NYCC so beware the many spoilers out there. You can watch the VOD of the Korra panel at twitch.com/nycc2 the episode is on the VOD stream with good part of the audio muted.

Do you have any Oreos? Will someone approach her with a Toph poster and/or a Toph plushie?

Ack ack ack! Ack! According to a Korean on 4chan in Book 4 Korra will hallucinate in ep 1, in ep 2 she will walk with metal bending, and in ep 3 Korra will be fine so the Red Lotus can attack her. Also it will end with Korra and Mako getting together, also Asami will get with Bolin.

Ack ack ack ack ack... Ack ack! Itunes sales. Not bad.

Ack ack IGN Interview About the Finale, the Upcoming Korra Game and Book Four http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/08/25/the-legend-of-korra-game-release-date-and-new-mode-plus-what-to-expect-in-book-4?utm_campaign=ign+main+twitter&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social Stuff revealed thus far, The videogame will be released on October 21st/22nd. There will be a new villain in Book 4 and a new threat for Korra to face Bryan about the new threat: “It all ties in. You’ll see how it all ties in to Book 3.” The airbenders will be a jedi-like peacekeeping force in Book 4. More info coming when it's avaliable.

Ack ack ack! Ack! Seeing as the thread on the "old" board is locked, FIRST FOR SHYAMALAN! Was there anything in the movie adaptation you liked? Was there anything in the movie adaptation you preferred? M. Night has a script for the sequel completed, what do you think he has/had planned? Do you think the failure of TLA played in Nick's decision to pursue more seasons of LoK rather than produce an animated version of the search for Ursa? And finally, what WAS going on with those Earthbenders? Though this fandom is oft divided, we are united in hatred.

Ack ack ack, ack ack ack, ack ack! You guys think Korra could defeat Stardust?

Ack ack ack ack ack ack So what do you guys think the villain(s) of season 4 will be like? Human? Spirit? A new Dark Avatar? Something new perhaps? Just post whatever comes to mind whether they be final boss or mook. Have fun with this

Ack ack ack! Ack! A thought occurs. What if Amon and the Equalists had decided to set up shop in Ba Sing Sei first, instead of Republic City? There is clearly a more prominent divide between rich and poor there, in addition to an actively malicious government as opposed to a merely inept/indifferent one like RC has? Hell, even when things were at their worst under Tarrlok, he never disappeared people in the middle of the night for being inconvenient either. Additionally, the Dai Li wouldn't be much good against Amon's powers for the most part either, so there's less chance of him being abducted before the movement could get going... ...Though on the other hand it appears that a level of indoctrination is in place in the city, as shown by Mako and Bolin's grandma praising the Earth Queen's statue, so maybe RC was a better target as its comparitively liberal setting allowed him to set up shop easier? Like, I don't think that the Equalists could get away with protesters in Ba Sing Sei, for example. What do you guys think?

Ack ack ack Zaheer has a message to send to Korra, and it's up to the Bending Bros to make like the Postal Service and deliver. But what is his message?! We'll find out in this penultimate week of Book 3 releases. Finale next week! Check it out at 12 Noon EST on Nick.com (free with ads), the Nick mobile App (free with ads), Hulu Plus, Amazon Video, Google Play, and Xbox ($1.99 per episode). For those with Amazon Video, they in fact did release last week's episode at 4AM EST again. So if any night owl east coasters want the ep it should be up by then if they hold to this pattern. West Coasters check out Amazon at 1AM local time. I was able to watch the last two episodes in High Def on my Wii U at 4AM and was able to avoid online spoilers :3

Ack... Ack ack ack All of our heroes are in custody of separate forces! Everyone's making a bee-line back to Ba Sing Se, shit's about to get super fucking real! What's in store this week? Find out at 12 Noon EST on Nick.com (free with ads), the Nick mobile App (free with ads), Hulu Plus, Amazon Video, Google Play, and Xbox ($1.99 per episode). Amazon put up last week's episode at 4AM EST. I'm going to keep an eye out for another early release.

We come in peace. Our heroes are hot on the trail of that damn deceitful Aiwei, However away from the protection of Zaofu they put themselves at risk of the hunters becoming the hunted! What's in store this week? Find out at 12 Noon EST on Nick.com (free with ads), the Nick mobile App (free with ads), Hulu Plus, Amazon Video, Google Play, and Xbox ($1.99 per episode).

Ack ack ack ack ack... Ack ack! I just came to the realization that Nickelodeon has a bunch of moras working for them. Why does it have to be a this or that situation? >Only on Television >Book Three Continues Right Here on Nick.com/Korra They really must not want the series to grow if they're going to alienate their audiences by choosing a preferred medium.

Ack ack ack, ack ack ack, ack ack! Zaheer's crew is itchin' to start some trouble for our heroes! Shit's about to get real!

Ack ack ack, ack ack ack, ack ack! Who will be the one? Who will be the one to spark the digital and computer revolutions for their world? Will it be Varrick, one of his descendants, or perhaps someone different entirely?

All green of skin... 800 centuries ago, their bodily fluids include the birth of half-breeds. For the fundamental truth self-determination of the cosmos, for dark is the suede that mows like a harvest. Old Wounds & Original Airbenders are being served up for us this week. Looks like we might find out what's been the divide between the Beifong sisters. The production crew has described Book 3 as being very "gritty and emotional", looks like a tidal wave of feels is approaching. Brace yourselves!

Ack... Ack ack ack I just had a dream where I was watching Book 4 of the series and out of nowhere it ended up with Korra being poisoned to death which shocked everyone besides the other characters. This also wasn't the final season as there was a Book 5 which showed a baby being born thus implying the new Avatar and confirming the previous one's death. While most of the book focused on the characters cooping without their friend, the new Avatar was put through the items test by the White Lotus Society and soon training with his earthbending. This new Avatar is just as headstrong as Korra was leading to some interesting confrontations with the other characters, especially Tenzin who was probably devastated the most by the news of Korra's passing. Jinora doesn't believe the news so she does her spirit body trick to go see for herself. Suyin who was present with the other characters for whatever reason said she was currently in the infirmary of Zaofu. Then something weird happened, Jinora's spirit body was unable to pass through the walls of the building which lead her to come back only to hear Suyin say something about how the type of metal used for the walls of the city buildings were so strong that it can keep out spiritual energy. I think they even said it was a layer of platinum, lead, and silver for whatever reason leading to me questioning why the hell silver is always used for supernatural elements. Suyin tells Jinora to go through the flooring as it was constructed using very basic metal. Next we see Jinora trying to get through to the infirmary by sinking into the ground trying to get passed the thick walls buried beneath until finally she was able to make it through only to see Avatar Korra laying their in bed motionless without her stomach expanding and disbanding. It was then Jinora knew the news were true. She took a moment to kneel beside her friend as she started to cry as she reached her hands out to Korra's before she returned to her body. I presumed this was the work of Zaheer and his cronies. Upon hearing the news of Korra's death, Bolin was heard celebrating from the other room as if he was glad that she died and he was just letting off frustrations. It was very weird yet he later become more sadden by her untimely death. Since this was a new season, all of this happened in Book 5 and the dream even extended into a Book 6 (the latter half of season three). Book 6 was merely nothing but the characters trying to get used to the fact that there was a new Avatar and the new Avatar getting frustrated that everyone compared him to Korra when he was his own person. Bolin offered to be his new earthbending bro. Tenzin offered his support and promised to be the new Avatar's airbending instructor. Jinora agreed to help him get in touch with the spiritual aspect of being the Avatar. And only a glimpse of what appeared to be a ghost Korra much in the similar fashion of Avatar Roku communicating with Aang. The dream and season ended before I saw the new Avatar become a fully realized one.

Aaaaaack! Why was this episode cute?

Ack! Ack! Ack! Why does it feel like the relationship between Tenzin and Korra has advanced to that of Obi-Wan and Anakin? They seem to be standing on equal ground now. Did it take Korra learning about what it means to be the Avatar from Wan and Tenzin learning from his father to not be his father to make this happen?

Don't run, we are your friends. Does anyone still draw Avatar art?

Ack... Ack ack ack July 11th, 2014: In Harm’s Way & The Metal Clan Kai has found himself in deep doodoo and Korra has been okie-doked while trouble is brewing in the North Pole! What will happen next! We'll find out on Friday night.

Ack ack! Ack ack ack ack! > tfw you'd never go on a life changing spiritual journey much like Korra did

Ack ack ack ack ack ack You know, for a show that didn't have enough time to go into character development much like it's parent did. After re-watching Books 1 and 2 in 2 days I am suddenly feeling like I'm going to miss these characters when the show concludes in Book 4. How is this possible?

Ack... Ack ack ack ack! Oh yeah, this character is going to be a lot of fun.

Ack ack ack ack ack As the penultimate season of Legend of Korra approaches, it goes me wondering. If Bryke were to make a third Avatar series, what would it be like? Would it continue the linear progression from the previous two shows, from the proto-steampunk world of Aang to the dieselpunk world of Korra to a possibly cyberpunk world of the Avatar that follows her? Or would they go backwards, as the Wan two-parter established that there is also a ton of potential in the Avatars prior to Aang and Korra that they could go with? Personally, I think that considering the influence of Miyazaki in the prior seasons, particularly in Airbender, it would be interesting to see Akira and Ghost in the Shell influences in the Avatarverse. Plus it would fit with the logical progression of the series, with science and technology slowly surplanting the mystical as time marches on. And maybe it combines in odd ways, maybe new spirits emerge from the environment, so rather than like panda-spirits they end up with gremlin-ish things that adapted to intefere with machinery or something. What would you lot like to see? The adventures of an Earth Kingdom Avatar in a Blade Runner-ish Metropolis, or a return to the more pastoral adventures in a more traditionally fantasy landscape?

Ack ack ack ack ack... Ack ack! Found this nice Korra AMV set to Portal 2's Exile/Villify Legend of Korra AMV - Exile, Vilify Pic semi-related

... Does anyone know of any good AMV tributes for Wan, Aang, and Korra? Maybe even a good one dedicated to all three of them? There should be something to honor the three Avatars who changed their world in big ways.
