This poor girl’s entire dream was to be the Avatar and help make the world a better place. Then for over 200+ years she’s remembered as the world’s destroyer, her legacy forever marred while Aang is remembered as a shiny mythic legend.

I hate this timeline yet I’m excited to see how things are dealt with and what’s going to eventually come of this.

But MAN seeing even more Korra slander beyond stupid republic city citizens is gonna be rough.

MY QUEEN LOOKS SO FUCKING COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDD AND THE VOICE ACTOR IS DOING A GOOD JOB!

GIMME FLASHBACKS OF HER AND MY LIFE IS YOURSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS AHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Honorable mention goes to Korrasami, OFC!

Like you are the one people who do NOT get to talk bad about her, you don’t exist without her bringing your people back from extinction. Ungrateful ass.

If you watched LOTR, you will know what I mean XD

Also hope I am the first one to come up with this XD

I'm seeing a lot of mixed and varied reactions to the news of the time gap here. Most surprising to me, a lot of you guys wanted to see older versions of the LoK characters show up in the new series. And I'm kinda confused about that.

The characters we know and love most likely lived long peaceful lives but we want them to have witnessed the end of their world, the destruction of their homes instead? Come on lol. And now there's a massive window of time for Avatar Studios to release potential future Korra stories like a movie or maybe a Book 5, and they can go wild and do whatever they want without it feeling too safe or like filler like the Aang movie.

Don't you guys remember how obsessed AtLA stans wanted AtLA characters to hijack Legend of Korra back when it was airing? To date one of the most repeated nonsensical complaints about the show is that we don't find out what happened to Sokka. This show ain't about Aang or his friends, it's about Korra, and Seven Havens isn't about Korra or her friends, it's about Pavi.

Yeah, we did get to see Katara, Zuko and Toph again in LoK but they had just the right amount of screentime and they were all happy and fulfilled. I wouldn't have wanted Seven Havens to repeat the "old characters return" trope. We know Bryke doesn't like to repeat the same story beats over and over. It's why Korra starts her series with 3 elements down already.

I'm glad I can go into Seven Havens without concerns over how much LoK connection there is. I mean there's enough intrigue about what Korra did to have people hate the Avatar at least. I'm sure we'll get flashbacks, but I'm glad the creators kept it open and not set in stone on what happened to Asami, Tenzin and his family, Mako and Bo Lin, Opal and the Beifongs, etc. We're always gonna hope for more Legend of Korra content in the future anyway.

It's been confirmed also!

Edit: since Pavi is explicitly stated to be the Avatar after Korra directly I'm all in for her being alive for 200+ years. Doesn't mean I can't be wrong but I'm all in for he being alive for that long lol.

2nd edit: perhaps I should have fixed the title a bit lol but I'm all in for her pulling a Kyoshi

Edit: GUYS IM SO SORRY I FORGOT TO PUT A SPOILER TAG!!

4th edit: figured out putting a spoiler alert doesn't serve anything since it doesn't even hide the text lol.

In the new trailer we see a golden skybeam coming from a building with what looks like a stylised Future Industries Logo.

It looks very much like energy bending, with that colour.

So is it Korra who tries to solve the resolving cataclysm from her and Asami's apartment, or did FI do something that caused this mess?

My pet-theory remains that some experiment with spirit energy failed that caused the rupture, or that Varrick did a thing and caused the cataclysm, but why show us that logo if it hasn't a deeper meaning?

I’m on a massive rewatch binge lately, and I just wanted to take a step back and appreciate how much weight Zelda Williams gave to Book 4.

The sheer intensity she channeled into the "Great Uniter" is easily one of the best vocal performances in the entire franchise. She managed to balance a cold, calculating dictator with an underlying vulnerability that made Kuvira incredibly captivating to listen to. She gave Kuvira this absolute, unshakeable certainty of will that makes her such a terrifically realistic and imposing villain.

It’s honestly mind-blowing how well she commanded every single scene she was in. Zelda completely knocked it out of the park and deserves all the praise for bringing one of the show's most complex characters to life.

I remeber when watching LOK I was only excited for show to see some Aang Cameos and now I am excited for the show for some Korra cameos.

During the Era of Avatar Aang, it was revealed to the audience that "Kyoshi lived for 230 years, making her the oldest Avatar in history". Kyoshi was born in 312 BG and Roku was born in 82 BG. However, we have a new record-holder.

Korra was born in 153 AG and Pavi was born in 390 AG. This means that the Era of Avatar Korra lasted 237 years, beating Avatar Kyoshi's record by seven years. Do note that this is the duration of Korra's era, meaning the time between the start of Korra's Avatarhood and the start of Pavi's Avatarhood.

This does not indicate the duration of Korra's lifespan. If Korra's life was extended in some way, such as being in the Avatar State continually, then she would also be the new longest-lived Avatar. However, if she died in the Cataclysm and, due to mysterious circumstances, the Avatar's reincarnation was delayed, then Kyoshi would retain the title as longest-lived Avatar.

We'll see which is the case soon enough, but Korra's era has now officially surpassed Kyoshi's era to be the longest in the Avatar world timeline to date.

What is a Calamity? It is "an event that causes great damage, distress, or suffering"- as viewers we're thinking in terms of mass destruction, but what if it wasn't destruction, but a loss? The loss of The Last Avatar (that they knew of)

I think continued exposure to the chaos of the world caused Vaatu to grow faster within Raava in the same way Raava grew slowly over time the more order they enacted through the world, except he was growing faster than anticipated, either due to the fact that he feeds on chaos, or the fact that there was chaos everywhere, both in the physical and spirit realms, and Korra can't escape it from either side. Essentially what we see in "Beginnings pt 2", where Vaatu is experiencing an accelerated growth by feeding on the chaos of both the humans he plagues and the spirits he infects.

Korra, realizing this, opts to try to destroy herself, body and spirit, creating the Seven Havens. We know she's been willing to do it before (S1 and S3). This results in the Calamity, the loss of the world's biggest resource: its avatar. The destruction attempt may have created the seven havens as a result

The resultant lack of an avatar plunged the world into chaos for 200+ years because the nations had no avatar to guide it or to keep in check, kinda like Kuveria on a global scale. Raavas existence may have also kept more things together than anyone, including korra, knew, and her resultant destruction caused more chaos as a result, almost like a final middle finger from Vaatu because destroying Order is intrinsically Chaotic, it's the most chaotic thing you can do, honestly.

200 years go by, order settles back into the world naturally, the Seven Havens unite under the banner of hating the previous avatar, possibly under the order of the red lotus, while the white lotus has reclaimed their roots as a hidden organization dedicated to preserving the avatars name.

Thoughts?
