I am morbidly curious about just how bad they screwed up. And that's not even getting into the casting controversy....
What do you guys think about the announced sequel series Avatar: The Legend of Korra? I have somewhat mixed feelings myself. The end of Avatar: The Last Airbender gave me that sad feeling that the best of stories do (Robin Hobb has done this a few times to mee too): it was great, but now it's over. The characters have to come to life for you and you can feel that their life will go on after the book / series ends, only you are no longer a part of it. Hence, it is somwhat disappointing that the new series will take place so long after the original one that all main characters will probably be dead.
On the other hand, it looks like they're going to try something new instead of just copying what they've done before. And that should be applauded, I think. I'm cautiously optimistic.
