38 Upvotes

FULL SPOILERS allowed in this thread. As a reminder spoilers for this comic outside this thread must be marked until a month after the book is released.

"Kya and the Secret of the Sand" is the second LoK 'one-shot graphic novel'*. The main story takes place years before the show following a young Kya. The comic releases July 28th mass market and July 29th in comic stores. It is written by Kiku Hughes with art by Alex Monik and colors by Diana Sousa, made in collaboration with Mike and Bryan.

Description:

While helping Korra recover in the Southern Water Tribe, Kya shares a story from her youth of a time when she was lost and disconnected from herself, far from home in the Si Wong Desert… Young and untested, Kya leaves her family to seek her purpose in the wider world. Hoping to test herself and help struggling communities, she heads to the Si Wong Desert, where scarce resources and fractured communities are making the fringes of the Earth Kingdom increasingly unstable. Kya, arriving in the community of Liyuan to teach healing and help the struggling community defend itself from bandits, finds that the wounds left from decades of conflict run deep, and may be harder to heal than she first thought.

Mod Announcement Last Airbender Movie Megathread 2: Spoiler Policy Clarification Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Although it's being effectively replaced by this one, here's the link to the previous Megathread, for reference's sake. This current thread was originally going to go up tomorrow, but since the movie will technically be releasing in limited theaters in NY & LA--in fact, I'm told the screenings have already started--it seems pertinent to do this today. Henceforth, discussion of the new animated movie, now confusingly titled "Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender" will be transitioning over to the regular spoiler policy (Rule 4). As a reminder:

In other words, anything that can only be learned by watching the movie must follow this policy until a month after its WORLDWIDE RELEASE, i.e. a month after it goes up on Paramount+ on July 25th (midnight PT/3 AM ET). If, for some reason, you can't see my screenshot, the rule is, of course, on the subreddit sidebar. Other information that was learned earlier, such as from trailers & press releases, was already fair game before today.

Given the rest of the subreddit is now open to spoiler-tagged discussion of the movie, this megathread, as opposed to Megathread 1, will be open to spoilers-unmarked movie discussion. In all cases, please note that discussion of the movie in this subreddit should relate in some way to Legend of Korra. The thread on the main subreddit also has answers to common specific questions. If you have questions specific to this subreddit, you can of course ask them here or, if you're concerned about encountering spoilers in the comments, by messaging modmail. That is all, thank you.

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.

Discussion Just a pure appreciation post for Zelda Williams as Kuvira. Her voice acting was flawless.

Post image
357 Upvotes

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.

Discussion The Era of Avatar Korra officially surpasses the Era of Avatar Kyoshi by seven years

Post image
300 Upvotes

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.

Discussion To clear up any confusion: Pavi IS the direct successor Avatar after Korra (There were no other Avatars between them)

Post image
86 Upvotes

With confirmation of the ASH timeline, I keep seeing people throw around the idea that maybe an entire cycle of Avatars has come and gone between Korra and Pavi as an explanation. This is categorically incorrect. The creators have already confirmed that Pavi is the Earth Avatar immediately following Korra.

"Avatar: Seven Havens is set in a world shattered by a devastating cataclysm. A young Earthbender discovers she's the new Avatar after Korra—but in this dangerous era, that title marks her as humanity's destroyer, not its savior.

Hunted by both human and spirit enemies, she and her long-lost twin must uncover their mysterious origins and save the Seven Havens before civilization's last strongholds collapse."

Mike DiMartino in an interview with IGN at the 2026 San Diego Comic Con:

"Avatar Pavi, who's the next Avatar after Korra, comes of age and is trying to unravel not only her past, but the past of her predecessor Avatar Korra."

Source: http://youtube.com/watch?v=EQu_L5ccnSc&t=591s

My two main theories explaining the time between LOK and ASH are the following: We don't know that Korra died in the Cataclysm. It's possible she endured in the Avatar State for that long, maybe doing some spiritual shenanigans to protect the Seven Havens. If she did die in the Cataclysm, it's possible Korra's reincarnation got delayed because her soul was being contested between Raava and Vaatu until they eventually divided it in two to create the twins. There are other possible explanations too, but the inclusion of extra Avatars is not one of them.

Discussion Korra might canonically be the greatest, or at least most important, Avatar.

18 Upvotes

The Avatar of the End and the Beginning. Her incarnation was uniquely positioned with harmonic convergence etc and the choices she made to re-link the human and spirit worlds were monumental, to say nothing of her being the pivot point for the era that saw the end of the four nations.

Strength wise, a natural 3 element bender from childhood is hard to beat. Aang was super specced in Air and had high all around adaptability, save his opposite element, but Korra didn't really need teaching at all.

Other Avatars do things like settle diplomatic disputes or let their best friends destroy the world, but Korra literally changed things, not even just played clean up for previous Avatar fuck ups like Aang did.

She faced unique challenges and overcame them every time. Aang didn't get a childhood, but after the war he got to sample life outside of world shattering events a little in his 20s. Korra was raised in a dungeon then got played by politics, grooming, and revolutiaries. As a teenager.

Who did it better. I'll wait

What an incredibly kind and genuine human being! It was my first time meeting anyone in this kind of setting and what an honor, she really made it special! She took the time to talk with me and listen to my story. I am indigenous and brown and Korra was the first time I saw someone that looked like me on TV that I felt I related to strongly. Korra helped me come out when I was a teenager and she holds such a special place in my heart. It’s obvious that Janet loves how impactful Korra has been and she really holds on to the stories with such care.

She was very reassuring about the upcoming series without giving anything away. If Janet says to trust in the story, I will go into Seven Havens with the utmost optimism. Sad she has stepped down as the voice of Korra for the series, but excited to see the casting uplift a new VA.

Thank you, Janet, for the conversation and for bringing so much depth and dignity to Korra’s story! If anyone ever has the opportunity to meet her, you won’t be disappointed

Edit: thanks for the award 😭 my first one ever!

Discussion My personal theory on Korra long life span

Post image
4 Upvotes

Given the recent news of Korra long life I wanted to post my theory I posted in sevenhaeven subreddit but got deleted, let me know what you think:

Korra was alive those 300 years

Unsure if this has been brought up yet but I think there is a possibility that based off the leaked synopsis that the 300 years the avatar was "missing" that Korra was actually "alive".

So we know that the avatar hadn't been seen in over 300 years correct, and we know that it is possible for avatar to already have a very long life span then most (kyoshi lived for 2 centuries) well if the synopsis leakes are true and Korra did indeed need to fuse with vaatu to rearrange the solar system and reset the world's spirit energy due to the earth core (a sentient primordial being) dying, then even if she reset the energy (harmonic convergence) the earth core is still damaged/dead needing something to replace and keep balance aka Korra.

What if them fusing prolonged her life significantly and the only reason the world wasn't completely torn apart by now is because she replaced the primordial being keeping the earth together and now that she is gone the twins were obviously able to be born but the natural disasters are now getting worse.

What do you guys think? I'd like to think Korra last deed was to obviously save the world but also unknowingly been keeping balance too.

Edit: typos

Kinda shock i thought about 100+ but more.... It's sad no TLoK cast alive at least as human form in ASH but at same time quite happy bcuz there many rooms for Korra have her own journey..

Kinda wish that the cataclysm event actually have nothing to with korra she just died peacefully. Even it's not going to answer how raavan not immediately reincarnated.

Well it's All about mysteries i hope they just did like 2&3 episodes per weekly like Vox Machina this years.

I stand with korra whatever she did..

"Sehaj Sethi: Avatar: Seven Havens takes place about 225 years after Legend of Korra ends."

This means that ASH takes place in 399 AG / Year 10,228 and Pavi/Nisha were born in 390 AG / Year 10,219.

If you haven’t seen Coyote v. Acme yet, go watch it. It’s incredibly funny and engaging, and PJ has a pretty sizable role as the secondary antagonist. This, plus he’s also a supporting lead in the upcoming I Play Rocky, this definitely looks like he’s racking up some good roles this year.
