The Legend of Korra takes place 70 years after the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender and follows the adventures of the Avatar after Aang – a passionate, rebellious, and fearless teenaged girl from the Southern Water Tribe named Korra. With three of the four elements under her belt (Earth, Water, and Fire), Korra seeks to master the final element, Air. Her quest leads her to the epicenter of the modern "Avatar" world, Republic City – a metropolis that is fueled by steampunk technology. It is a virtual melting pot where benders and non-benders from all nations live and thrive. However, Korra discovers that Republic City is plagued by crime as well as a growing anti-bending revolution that threatens to rip it apart. Under the tutelage of Aang's son, Tenzin, Korra begins her airbending training while dealing with the dangers at large.

slksjdasljksaljdsaoisduasdjlkajsdliah OMGGG \o/ I JUST downloaded the series again to settle in for a nice rewatch. NEW CANON IS COMING. \o/ \o/ \o/ Steampunk! Female POC lead! Plus, she's apparently older than the characters of A:tLA, which may indicate a darker, more mature tone to the series. (Though A:tLA was plenty mature anyway.)

lol I've spent the past few days rereading the few good Avatar fic I've got bookmarked and fruitlessly searching for more. Unfortunately, 90% of Avatar fandom appears to be 14 year old girls posting 20 chapter-long misspelled Zutara epics on ff.net. :/ Nothing against 14 year old girls, but I think my biggest grudge towards Shyamalan for the atrocities he committed against A:tLA is that if the movie HAD been good, and fun, and non-race-faily, then the fandom would have grown. But it wasn't, so it didn't. I feel like he robbed me of all this potential fic. :(
