I always thought that a majority of the characters would be of Eskimo, or some kind of ethnic asian looks, ever since I saw the cartoon. Oh well. Hopefully the movie is not a downer.


Well Fire Nation is Japanese obviously while Earth Kingdom is Chinese.


Fire- Japanese; East Asian
Water- Inyu/Yupik (Eskimo)
Earth- Chinese/Mongolian
Air- Tibetan/Shaolin


Fire would be just Japanese period I believe as it reflects on Japan's Imperial days when they wanted to rule all of Asia. Also the pilot episode had them all dressed like samurais. Everything else though fits in well. But seriously, I will be pissed if the movie has only like 3 asians cuz that would be some major bullsh*t.

Though it is based off of these Asian cultures, and the movie should rightfully have such ethnicities play the actors, the plot is over-all separate from RL in regards to nations/countries.
The Fire Nation symbolizes any and all (not just Japan, is what I'm saying) industrial nations with imperialistic foreign affairs, and the cultural and economic impact on "developing" nations.

Fair enough but I can't help but imagining a bunch of white guys in chinese outfits for the Earth Nation. You know what would be more out of place? If all the civilians are asians but all the main characters are all different ethnicity besides asian, yeah that would really make them stand out.

They lowered kitaras age so that she could get with ang
completely changing the story.

a pg war movie won't work in live action

that little girl can't do the forms that kitara could do. theres just no way. besides she's not tall enough to make it look good.

Hmm, not sure on this one yet. It has potential but I am afraid they are making it to dark. I'll reserve final judgement until I see it though. I think they should have gotten Peter Jackson though instead of M. Night Shamy.

Legend of Korra stuff we found out during comic-con

Spoiler:

* As mentioned , the cabbage merchant will not appear, but "his legacy will be present in some form."

* As an evolution of the first series, The Legend of Korra will have more sophistication to it, but still keep the humor, fun hybrid animals, and action.

* It won't cover more mature subject material necessarily, just different mature subjects. "It won't be another war, but a different sort of conflict."

* On whether or not we'd see a love interest for Korra: "We love that stuff. We're total cornballs, we love cheesy teen romance. Rest assured, there's plenty or romance happening in the story, but it's the same balance of ingredients that we like."

* Katara IS in fact the mother of Aang's offspring, who will be central to the show. "We didn't mean for it to be a big super-secret, that they end up together."

* On the persecution of Airbenders being compared to the X-Men registration act: "We'll see something like that, but in sort of a different structure."

* Will it be a very different world from where we left off? "Yes and no, the world has definitely changed, and evolved, and advanced, but we're very conscious of keeping the same feeling. Not totally different, but it's definitely generations later."

* "There will definitely only be one Avatar at a time, and it is Korra."

* So will Aang have any kind of presence? "Yes...in his way."

* DiMartino and Konietzko will continue to work with Joaquim Dos Santos and Ryuki Hung, working to improve the design and animation.

* The Legend of Korra will in fact be a mini-series, with Michael and Bryan directly writing each episode.

* "As a mini-series, it's going to be really tight. While we really love the filler episodes, those are some of our favorites, this thing is just lean and mean. It's a really cool driving story."

Some names pronunciation have changed. Firebenders need fire in the region to bend, except for Iroh. Cuts on a lot of side stories due to time restraint. Sokka is serious.

*seizure*

Wow it looks good. I mean the previous had great animation quality for an american cartoon and this does not look to disappoint. Everything is looking great so far and I'm loving the more modern era that the nations are arriving now. I always loved how the series had much different mixtures of culture and references that reflects our real world. I really can't wait to see, though I can see they really kept with the muscular look for the protagonist. Looks better this way.
