Synthesis

I’m excited. I’m really, really excited. Tony sent me a link for the official confirmation of the “Legend of Korra” series, an Avatar: The Last Airbender spin-off.

Kay, so first of all, I don’t know why that was on Wall Street Journal of all places…

And secondly, I have been instinctively trained to cringe any time anyone mentions “spin off” shows. (I have a younger brother: once I saw 5 minutes of Yu-Gi-Oh GX, and it was enough to send me into convulsions.)

Thirdly, the picture of Korra looks like a man! She is humongous!

BUT I’M STILL EXCITED! I found myself liking that cartoon series a lot more than I expected, especially by the end. (I’m also glad Raymond, Charles, and a bunch of APALI people got on board too.) I’m just going to ignore the movie like it never happened, and put my faith into this series instead. The creators mentioned it would be more “steampunk,” which is always  good. You can’t get enough steampunk — even if the story and characters suck, the environment makes it a redeeming quality. Bonus points because LoK is an animated series, which means artists get to go wild. If this turns out sucking, my heart is going to be broken. I can only take one more bad hit like the Last Airbender movie before I give up on this series.

I was wondering about that! I still have yet to see UP in its entirety, since I’ve only seen the ending about three times while it was playing in PAACH. I only started suspecting when I read this. I also wonder: is Boo (Monsters, Inc) supposed to be Asian?
