== This series will have gangsters ==
Line 47 ⟶ 45:
** Avatar always had a strong female fan base, the show will do fine with the male demographic as long we get other strong male characters as well. Also on another note, The Alien series and the Kill Bill movies have strong male fan followings. Also remember Toph is very popular with males for her tough attitude. If there is a female that's strong and kick ass, both genders will have something to enjoy.
*** While there are movies with female leads popular with men, compare them to the amount of such movies with male leads. It's also rare in children's shows. In Nostalgia Chick's video on the [[Smurfette Principle]], she pointed out that out of thirty shows Nickelodeon made (at the time of her video) only three of them had female leads. So yeah, it's reasonable to be (pleasantly) surprised on the revelation that Korra is a girl.
* Will the show pass [[
** At the very least the first episode did pass the test, in a rather epic way.
Line 70 ⟶ 68:
* Given the fact that the Earth King never returned in ''Airbender'', and the broken-up state the Earth Kingdom was in, it's likely that the Earth Kingdom was reformed as the Earth Republic, and Bah Sing Se rechristened Republic City. The image of Korra itself shows heavy signs of being in the Earth Kingdom.
** Since when did the Earth King "never return?" He didn't return within the life-span of the show, but we never saw if he came back to reclaim his city.
*** There's a comic extra that came out a bit before the third season, which confirmed a lot of things. Such as Zuko and Mai's relationship beginning and the Earth King going off to... [[Put
**** I've never seen that. Got a link? Also, does it say that, after he learns Ba Sing Se has been freed, he decides to stay gone?
** Doesn't look like Ba Sing Se to me. [https://web.archive.org/web/20120723181955/http://images.wikia.com/avatar/images/1/16/Avatar_Legend_of_Korra.jpg Here's the shot in high res]. On the lower right is a lake, harbor, or large river with docks and a long bridge. Ba Sing Se was landlocked. On the other hand, it could have expanded toward Lake Laogai ...
* The comic does exist, but it doesn't say Kuei never returned: it said he wanted to travel his kingdom for a while.
** Kuei does return; in The Promise Part 1, within a year of the war, he's discussing what to do about the Fire Nation colonies with Zuko and Aang.
Line 107 ⟶ 105:
* In the trailer, Korra's water bending seems less stream-lined and more wavy than usual water bending. She may not have as much finesse as the ones we've seen before.

Line 125 ⟶ 123:
== Korra will be pretty ==
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20120616153848/http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110306232848/avatar/images/5/55/KorraFirstLook.jpg Oh-so Confirmed!]
== Pro-bending and the Equalist threat have resulted in new bending forms. ==
Line 237 ⟶ 235:
== We we see interracial children other than Tenzin ==
Because one of the strong themes of the series, particularly in the third, was how all four could work together, exemplified in the Order of the White Lotus. So, it might not (and
* Confirmed. Korra alongside of an earthbender and a firebender, who are brothers.
Line 258 ⟶ 256:
No one said that '''only''' the technology changed since the last series. Toph had already discovered metalbending and likely taught it to other people and it could have spread throughout the earthbending population. In response to the sudden advantage this would give the Earth Kingdom, the other nations would expand their own bending arts to maintain balance.
The Water Tribe may rediscover bloodbending and weaponise with animals instead of people (using it on people would quickly become taboo). Sure Katara would never teach it to anyone, but once word that it's possible gets out ''someone'' with questionable character is likely to figure it out and teach other questionable characters how to do it. Perhaps with 50+ years of refining the practice the waterbenders may find a way around the need for a full moon to use bloodbending.
The Fire Nation already has access to lightning, which based on Iroh's description of the technique (separating positive & negative energy then letting it crash back together for lighting) sounds like manipulating magnetism to achieve the effect, which makes sense since lightning is electricity and electricity is just another form of magnetism. Figuring out how to adapt the lightning technique to generate magnetic fields would be the perfect countermeasure to metalbending. It would be like having an army of realistic [[X
To top it off, Korra will have already learned all three advanced bending arts (metalbending, bloodbending, magnetobending) and will use them all at one point or another to deal with the antibending revolt.
* I want this to be true so badly... Except I think that magnetobending won't be possible, just doesn't seem likely.
Line 330 ⟶ 328:
* [[Not So Stoic|Corollary]] - Lin is a type I [[Tsundere]].
* And did she attempt suicide? At the very least slash her face in anger? I mean two almost identical scars running parallel on one side of her face seems very unlikely to be caused by random accidents. Oh dear, oh dear.
* ''And,'' this would completely play into the whole "Everyone is Batman" theme going on in this show. Think about it for a minute: a [[Hot-Blooded|young hothead]] [[Legacy Character|takes over the role]] of a legendary hero, who used to work closely with the [[The Commissioner Gordon|police chief]] of a major metropolis. This police chief had a daughter, who became the police chief herself in time, does ''not'' approve of the young hothead becoming a [[Legacy Character]], ''and'' [[Dry Docked Ship|used to have a relationship]] with the hothead's [[The Mentor|mentor]]. This mentor is a [[Cool Old Guy]] and [[Badass Grandpa]] who is [[Not So Above It All]]. With these character dynamics in mind, [[Avatar: The Last Airbender
* In Episode 6 it's revealed that Lin and Aang got along just fine, her animosity towards Korra is solely due to Korra's destructiveness and her history with Tenzin.
Line 368 ⟶ 366:
== Asami's racing skills are a [[Chekhov's Skill]] ==
And she'll use them in at least one climactic battle to drive while Korra, Mako, and/or Bolin attacks for a mobile assault.
* Essentially it'll be a [[Up to Eleven|more]] badass [[Call Back]] to Korra and Mako's chase against the Chi-Blockers where Naga is either injured, separated or otherwise unavailable/incapable against what's initially "just" some Equalists on bikes before dealing with [[Oh Crap|a Mecha-Tank(s)]] where she channels Steve
** Confirmed in "When Extremes Meet". Though, it's not because Naga was injured... it was because [[Crowning Moment of Funny|four people was too heavy a load for Naga]], and Asami proposed a car as an alternative. The logical presumption is that her driving antics will be useful in more than a few getaways.
Line 390 ⟶ 388:
== Proving that being a [[Chew Toy]] is [[In the Blood]], the Cabbage Man's descendant will experience the exact same luck as his/her ancestor. ==
Doesn't matter what he/she decides to sell -- it ''will'' get completely thrashed. Most likely in the presence of the heroes.
* It's been [https://web.archive.org/web/20100730071531/http://www.ugo.com/tv/comic-con-2010-legend-of-korra-interview confirmed] that the Cabbage Man's "legacy will be present in some form," so probably confirmed.* ''Related Theory:'' The Cabbage Man's descendant will be a member of the anti-bender revolt, due to the family grudge against the Gaang. The descendant might also be an effective [[Badass Normal|fighter]] and major villain.
* Rule of Funny, dude. You can't turn the comic relief into a the evil villain. That would be like saying we have to take all the times cabbage man had bad luck "seriously" and he has a deep complex regarding cabbages and the gaang's presence.
** The "major villain" aspect is admittedly the least likely part. But fair enough.
Line 401 ⟶ 399:
* Confirmed in episode 9.
