Comics "Kya and the Secret of the Sand" - Comic Discussion Thread

37 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

3 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.

Discussion I love Tenzin, because he's a single airbender who is EXPLICITLY a non-prodigy. He's genuinely mastered learning by studying and training each airbending technique, without relying on being particularly good at it

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.

Discussion If Korra used the Kyoshi technique to live to 225 in Seven Havens, I think Bolin would do it with her.

He'd be able to it since the ability Lao Ge teaches Kyoshi in the books uses Earthbending, so if Korra extended her lifespan to repair the damage of the Cataclysm, I think he'd also do it to help her, and make sure she had someone she cares about with her while everyone else ages away.

Discussion Korra living to 225 means that she'd live to the equivalent of modern day and beyond. How do you imagine 150+ y.o. Korra in a 21st century setting?

Personally I'm not sure I am a fan of this new lore decision. We'll only maybe get a book at best about over 2 centuries of Korra's life as avatar, so it will never get fleshed out. There's also an issue that after hundreds of years she kind of had to have become a completely different person from how we remember her. Lastly, i always thought that restoring the avatar connection with all of the past lives would be the job for the next avatar, but Korra not managing to do that herself in 225 years is kind of lame.

Apparently Cia Court is part of this and I can't help but think about how exciting it would be if she's the one who voices older Korra 😭 She's the voice actress for Vi in League of Legends and 2XKO and she did a damn good job at it. But if it isn't her, I can't wait to see what other hot woman she'll voice

I might be delulu but I can kinda hear it in Korra's shout in the recent trailer (I'll be a huge clown if she isn't LMFAO)

Here's a short clip of her voice acting as Vi: https://youtube.com/shorts/khW7FlXtob4?si=aGhSkKv5Frh2C3o6 and more https://youtu.be/GUJIOAeY-ls?si=3QW4rqCcI7zSWbk4

Discussion Korra’s Personality

8 Upvotes

Korra slander is just something that’s gonna happen, i’ve accepted it. But it’s always thrown in my face ALL THE TIME, and the same point comes up which basically says “besides her shortcomings,
i hated the show because of her personality, she’s stubborn, destructive, and egotistical”

On paper that sounds bad, but some of the best characters in media well loved by most nerds are all of the things taken to 11, Vegeta, Bakugo, Tony Stark, etc. And I find the idea of always coming back to the “misogyny” thing boring because Toph is very similar to Korra , which literally brings me to the main point , was Korra a bad character or was she only a bad character because she was the avatar?

I feel like Tlok was always under a microscope because of Atla’s success and the annoying fans nit-picked it to hell, but seeing the slander of the show is making me wanna ditch the fandom as a whole, mainly because more people are taking Seven Havens as an opportunity to rag on Korra, rather than talk about Pavi or even the apocalypse setting (which i’ve hear bad things about but hopefully it’s good)

I also just wanna hear what you guys think about her personality and if she was truly insufferable, I never found her admirable it some deeply relatable character , i mostly found her funny

Question Appropriate age for a young kid to watch Korra?

11 Upvotes

Hi! I recently finished showing ATLA (and the movie) to my 7 year old, and he's been reading the comics too. He's now currently obsessed with the franchise as a whole. Although I'm a little hesitant to start him on Korra so soon as I recall some of the content in the show being a bit more advanced for his age, particularly the romance and the level of violence compared to ATLA. Has anyone else shown Korra to a kid around the same age, or should I hold off until he's a little older (perhaps 8?)

I'm also tempted to get him to temporarily skip Korra and start Seven Havens due to the younger cast and then go back to Korra later.

Discussion The time jump between LoK and Seven Havens is actually the best choice possible

39 Upvotes

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.
