Continued Adventures in Awesomeness!

[cherry]

Guys! Guys! There's a new show coming you might find interesting:

Avatar: The Legend of Korra. Also, an interview with Mike and Bryan in which they discuss it further, and pointedly avoid answering questions regarding the movie that is in no way related to their awesome, awesome show.

Female avatar in a steam punk, multi-nation city with rebellion on the horizon!

I am so there. Show! Oh, show.


In conclusion:

Honestly, I would encourage you not to see the movie. The execution has been horridly racist, and apparently the end product is also sexist. If that's not enough for you, it has a measley 8% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

There's a lot more at racebending.com, if you haven't seen the Race Bending and Aang Ain't White movements.

The show itself is pretty much every type of wonderful there is, though. World building! Character arcs! Long-term plotting! The most awesome characters!

Yeah, world building is a task, and that's why I loved having to do it in my 2nd Wendy fic. (Am I plugging too much here? ;-)) It forces you to stretch your talents, and that's always a good thing.
