From Spinoff Online

Well, this is looking even better than I thought. Animation looks, if anything, more detailed and sophisticated than the first show. I'm still loving the 1930's look of Republic City.

Anyway way you look at it, this is my must see show of 2012.

The first clip is especially interesting as we're getting a spin-off sendoff in the form of...

"A vigilante is just a man lost in the scramble for his own gratification; he can be destroyed, or locked up. But if you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, and if they can't stop you, you become something else entirely... a legend, Mr. Wayne."

-- Ducard, Batman Begins --

Excellent clips. It's interesting to see how Korra is different from Aang - she's much more like Katara.

"I prefer my history dead. The dead sort is written in ink, the living in blood."
-Rodrik Greyjoy, A Song of Ice and Fire

Korra is such a bad-ass. I love her. Was Aang ever this cocky and up-himself? When she dares the three gang members to try her, I was like

Also, hilarious how the waterbender douche opens his coat as if to take out a gun...but instead takes out water from somewhere (a sealable bag of water? flask of water?).

No, he wasn't -- which is already helping to differentiate Korra from her predecessor. Personally, it's a refreshing change.

I must say, I am well on my way to liking Korra (the character) already. I just love the cocky/playful delivery of "Why don't you come and find out?"

Man, I am so excited for this one. Though I have to say

Alas, the leaked videos are gone. This is what I get for playing SWTOR constantly.

There's some talk going around that the person responsible for the leak is planning to put the entire first episode out there. I'm not sure how I feel about that. I want to see the episode, but even more than that, I want the series to be a smashing success, and this is something that seems like it would affect the ratings quite a bit.

I thought you'd be playing DC Universe Online like the rest of us.

It depends on how many people succumb to the temptation to watch. And there's already precedent for this (the online episodes of Gargoyles killing the release of the Season 2.5 DVD),

I'm personally willing to wait. These excerpts - and the trailer -r have whetted my appetite and re-ignited my interest in the Airbender-verse.

Well, the thing is, I don't live in the US, or in fact anywhere where Korra is likely to be aired any time soon, so I'll be downloading the episode eventually anyway... I'd just be willing to wait until whenever for that, probably.

You allegedly live in Scotland. At least you wouldn't have to wait for the localized version (though I have to admit the german translation of AtLA was pretty damn awesome, to the point where I actually liked some of the german voice actors better than the original ones).

No, I only study in Scotland. I live in Estonia.

A lot of the fun comes from watching with the community and all that involves. MLP has simply confirmed that for me. I doubt I'd be watching it if bronies didn't exist. So I think I'm going to wait until it comes out in America, and then I'll watch a leaked version (since we tend to get our shows rather late), so that I can join in the fan squeeing.
