New “Legend of Korra” News!

Information:

Co-creators of the original series (Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko) will write all of the episodes.

Why a female Avatar:

- Large audience of females of original show
- Adoration of headstrong female characters by fan base
- Time for a big action franchise with a female in the lead
- Expected to be darker, more mature than original show; HOWEVER, they’re not attempting to target a new audience.

- Dante Basco (Zuko) said he will return to voice a character

- Confirmed (via Twitter) that it will have something to do with Zuko
- One of the new episodes will be entitled “Skeleton in the Closet”
- The Track Team (composers for the show) has said that the music will be “the Roaring ’20s with an Asian twist.”

Rumors:

- The series may continue for more than 12 episodes if it gains enough popular support. (This happened with Avatar: The Last Airbender, which was scheduled for 13 episodes at first but continued for 61.)

- Korra could be descended from Sokka and Suki.

- There may be flashbacks of the original series. (DiMartino mentioned that there was a “definite link” between the old and new series.)

- The Cabbage Merchant will not appear but “his legacy will be present in some form”.
