AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Lacks substance.
EDIT: Unlocked because of derp. Yeah, if this is real, it could definitely help rebound the series from that god awful movie.
A heavy element (pun not intended) of avatar was the characters, hopefully the new ones are awesome. M. Night Shyamalan better keep his mits to himself this time around.
Well, if it's a new Avatar, Aang is dead. I'm not sure how I feel about this.
If the Avatar is to learn Airbending, then Aang's kids have had to be able to airbend.
If not, then the Avatar cycle would be broken.
AND WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO ZUKO'S MOTHER?

Didn't [spoiler]his father kill her?[/spoiler] Also, some of the original characters will probably still be alive, maybe one. There will probably be some elder or something. Though they obviously won't be main characters <<

It was never explained. The series ended with Zuko and his father in the prison, "WHERE IS MY MOTHER?!"
The only one I could imagine still being alive is Toph. She's fairly young, but she'll be super old. She's probably dead too.

Maybe she could be alive. Hell, Boomie (SP?) was basically the same age as Aang, except he was never frozen, he got old and was still powerful. It is possible some of our favorite characters are alive, but they will most likely be very different, thus not really being them.
But I can see Aang having kids, and for some reason that bothers me that they may have a role in the story.
My Prediction: Zuko's mother will be an important character.
Probably the one who sets the good/bad into motion, either directly, or indirectly.

Maybe, except that if it takes place exactly 100 years later, the absolute youngest she could be is 124 (Zuko was 16, and assuming Zuko's mom gave birth at the age of 8).
As far as predictions go, I think the White Lotus will be much more obvious (or revealed earlier), and the fire nation will be feeling expansive again (Sozen's comet is every 100 years) or it will be a firenation bender and the big bad guys will destroy the comet (or something equally ridiculous).
That's pretty nice. I can't wait.
With that said by Shujinco, I have a small feeling it's gonna be similar to Lost in a way. By that I mean, some/most/all of the episodes will have flashbacks, telling us about Zuko, Zuko's mom, and some stuff relating to Aang and the gang growing up.
The season/series would start epically if the previous Avatar died right off the bat. The only problem I have about this new series is that the main personal conflicts (eg. to kill or not to kill, which is mixed with the benefit of the many outweighs the benefit of the few) will probably be recycled.
As the N64 kid said:
YES! YES! YES! YES!
Too many things are called "Avatar". It's starting to piss me off.

Yeah, they can have an ancient Aang die right when a new enemy is just about the rise in the first episode. In the second we'll flash forward sixteen years for when the new Avatar is chosen and we can catch up on what's happened.
Who would the new bad guys be?

Earth kingdom if they go with nations again. They are the most organized in terms of cities and governments after the Fire nation. Either that or they'll go with some kind of new organization independent of nations, sort of an opposition to the White Lotus.
You know, Aang did die temporarily when Azula shot him with lightning. He even said he was gone.
If an Avatar is born when one dies, but Aang was brought back, maybe there is some kind of intercourse ed up Water Tribe Avatar.

You either forgot or are stupid.
He got shot with lightning in the Avatar State, and "if you are killed in the Avatar State, the Avatar cycle will be broken, and the Avatar will cease to exist"
Which means, no new Avatar could have been born when Aang was temporarily killed.
Well, I guess we'll see come Comic-con time. sounds interesting though
I could have sworn that M. Night was dropped for a new director.
If not, I'm waiting for DVD. TLA was a major disappointment.
Updated.

So, there are Airbenders. And one of them is Aang's song.
"Under the guidance of Aang's son, Tenzin, Korra begins her airbending training as she confronts the dangers ahead of her. "
Korra already mastered Water, Earth, and Fire? Bah.
Having an Avatar that already mastered three elements was necessary, as watching Korra traveling around the world to master the other elements would have been virtually the same as The Last Airbender, but with a different character.
so this is more or less "Book 4: Air".
Fair enough.
Double posting, but that's due to lack of activity on this board.

Rob already posted virtually the same thing, Nayr.
But now that I look at that screencap, I can't help but recall this image (http://images1.fanpop.com/images/photos/2200000/legend-of-zelda-valley-of-the-flood-the-legend-of-zelda-2219242-490-293.jpg).

Nope. I thought it was a guy the first time I saw it.
I think we all thought it was a guy at first.

Please, for the love of God, get up off of your computers and go spend some time with women for awhile. Jesus, you should be able to identify that difference in sillouette. Learn now or get suprised by a trap later.
;)
I really am looking forward to this series, though. I'm sure it will be a blast.

She has broad shoulders and big legs, not to mention she's muscly. I don't like muscly chicks. D:
Yes, she has broad shoulders, but she has a narrow waistline that expands back at the hips. And the small of her back cuts in, a feminine feature. Study of the female figure is a worthy persuit. Especially lab work. Grroooww

Hey, it's possible it's a guy arching his back. Anime does that alot. D:

Rob, seriously, let it go. It's a chick, and you can't wish it into a dude no matter how hard you try.
I know she's a girl. She just looks like a guy, is all.
Did you just throw me in to insult me? I wasn't referring to that, read the post I quoted genius. I thought it was a girl right away.

As long as it's a good story, I don't really care. It's better than the drivel Nick and CN are putting out nowadays.
and is that Sora no Woto as your avatar I see SkyMyl?

That's generally how long trial seasons are. If it's well liked, they'll order 12 more, then subsequent seasons will be bigger.

Most shows only have 12-13 episodes during the first season. They usually have the 12/13th episode kind of a "finale", but vague enough to be open for more episodes if ordered for more.
I'm excited about this. Their characters are solid -- I can't recall a single poorly executed character in TLA -- and I have confidence in their ability to create an interesting story. It does seem very different, though. The fact that there's an 'anti-bender revolt' implies that this series is probably mostly about peace-keeping. I anticipate a more abstract evil -- no more frickin' awesome ominous shots of obscure overlords.
In any case, I'm stalking rumours in anticipation. And screw you, spell check, I can spell words with 'u's if I want to. How do you know I'm not British?
What I've always wanted is a Book 4:Air as a prequel to the original series, showing how Aang grew up and what not,
But eh, at least they're reviving the series.

What I've always wanted was a mini-series on Iroh and his sordid past. Maybe some enlightenment on his trip to the spirit world, his conquering of the last dragon (and ultimately preserving the entire race), and his old war days up to his son's death.
