Another Delay For Avatar: The Last Airbender Sequel?
Our favorite show Avatar: The Last Airbender’s sequel series, The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra, has been caught up in a web of delays for a long time now. The series of procrastination has not been all that pleasing for Avatar: The Last Airbender’s devotees, and quite obviously so.
The long gone season 3 of the show, has only left its addicted fans waiting for the ever so exciting sequel. The only option left for them was to catch the Avatar: The Last Airbender episodes, over and over again.
The sequel has reportedly suffered its third delay in line. The show was first expected to release in the fall of 2011. The dates were then pushed to summer of 2012.
And now, it is being rumored that the series will be making its fans wait, until 2013.
Yikes!
What is interesting is that there have been no concrete reasons for these delays.
According to some reliable sources, the delay is due to some technical and production related complications. And then there are some other sources that hint it towards the addition of 14 episodes to the series.
The series is expected to be aired with two seasons, consisting of 26 episodes in total. It is going to advance 70 years into the future and follow the female protagonist, Korra.
It would be setup in an evolved world of Avatar, in Republic City, which was setup by the Avatar hero, Aang, and the new king of Fire Nation, Zuko.
Korra will be a bold and rebellious girl, proficient at bending three elements – water, earth, and fire. She would later acquire the air bending talent from the son of Aang, Tenzin.
The powerful girl’s adventures would exhilarate you, especially with her combat against the Anti-bender’s clan, The Equalists.
Let’s hope the producers become more empathetic to the pain of the fans, and release the series with further delays.
Fingers crossed!
