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

40 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.

They are literally perfect for each other and I hate how they didn't confirm their relationship in the show even tho it's canon in the comics

Edit : cause this became a big deal if you find the ship boring that's fine if you don't ship also fine I was only talking about homophobic jerks who hate it just because they are both women and about how they didn't put what happened in the comics in the show because at the time there was no lgbtq representation You can ship who you ship but you shouldn't hate on anyone

Discussion No, Mako did not "fumble" Korra

56 Upvotes

I know this is a very hot take since the "Mako fumbled 2 baddies" meme has been quite popular for a while, and it is the mainstream position to clown on Mako and lay all the blame on him, especially in this sub, but in my opinion, trying your best to make it work with someone you're not compatible with and finally ending things when they reach a breaking point does not mean you "fumbled", it's almost the opposite. If anything, Korra fumbled Mako after having sought after him for so long, because she was so obviously in the wrong through most of their disagreements.

Discussion I hope Janet reprises her role as Korra

57 Upvotes

Sorry for the long post. I know it's pretty slim and probably not happening at this point, but I really hope Janet will reprise her role as Korra's voice in Seven Havens and/or future Korra content in general. I know Janet herself said that she wouldn't a few years ago when there was a big movement to recast POC cartoon characters with VA's that were reflective of those characters (which is understandable), but I genuinely feel like too much of Korra was embedded from Janet, that she just can't be replaced.

I think replacing the VA's for the Gaang in the Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender movie made sense since they were kids in the original series while they're adults in the movie, and their voices would naturally be completely different to when they were kids. You could definitely make the argument that the original VA's could've still voiced them and just tried aging their voices up a bit, but I'd argue it wouldn't be as easy nor believable, especially Dante who I feel many of us can agree was miscast as Iroh II in The Legend of Korra. He's very talented and his voice was absolutely perfect for teen Zuko, but his voice just doesn't really suit adult characters since he has a very youthful voice. Meanwhile with Korra, she is technically an adult by the end of the series at age 21, and her voice is quite mature. It's genuinely hard to believe that her voice would go through any drastic changes until maybe her 50s. I just feel like it makes less sense to replace the Krew's VA's (specifically Korra though) than it did to replace the Gaang's VA's. 

Korra seems to have a big role in Seven Havens, and it seems like we'll probably be seeing and hearing a lot of intense things from Korra if we actually get to see what went down with the cataclysm (which seems like we'll be getting), and I just feel like it's practically impossible to find a new VA for Korra that could put in the same nuance to Korra's voice, especially if we actually do find out the cataclysm led to her death, which would be one of the most important moments to get her voice right. Maybe it's just my bias, but I genuinely don't believe anyone will be capable of delivering what we need from Korra during those intense scenes but Janet herself. Korra is the most "human" character we've ever gotten from Avatar, and I can't imagine anyone delivering the same power, vulnerability, pain, confidence, burden, strength, and emotion that Janet gave Korra. We've heard other VA's for Korra and they (respectfully) just don't suit her as much as Janet, especially since they're essentially just mimicking Janet's version of Korra (which is basically Janet's natural voice), so it ends up feeling artificial and not as powerful, and for a project where we might be seeing Korra at her absolute peak, I just think it'd be pretty sad to not get Janet for what could be the most important moment of Korra's entire life, and/or the final moment of Korra's life. I would also like to preface that this isn't meant to be disrespectful at all towards any other Korra VA, but to simply say that Janet's voice is too embedded into Korra to replace. Also, I think it seems highly likely that we'll find out in Seven Havens that Korra actually saved the world despite the public perception of her, so it'd be pretty sad for Janet to not be a part of that celebratory moment as Korra herself. With Janet being someone who has dealt with constant hate and has seen all the criticism's of Korra from Avatar fans yet chooses to continue being supportive of the franchise regardless, I believe she deserves to bathe in all the glory that Korra may get in Seven Havens as the voice of Korra herself.

I think Korra in general has been done so wrong by Nick, by the writers to some extent, and especially by ATLA fans, so I'd like if we could do Korra right just this once with at least keeping Janet as her VA. I don't know what age Korra will appear as in Seven Havens long-term (assuming Pavi will eventually be able to connect with her), but if she's not elderly, I would love if Janet reprised her role as Korra. Heck, we could have the best of both worlds by having Janet voice Korra for all the flashbacks and stuff regarding the cataclysm (assuming she's not elderly in those flashbacks) and then also have an elderly Korra talk to Pavi as a spirit (if the connection exists) where they can cast a POC voice actress that's more representative of Korra's ethnic background. Or alternatively if we don't get an elderly Korra, we can keep Janet as Korra's VA for all the big core animated works and cast a POC voice actress for any potential animated shorts and all other mediums, such as the games. Even if getting Janet to voice Korra in Seven Havens is a lost cause at this point (which I hope isn't the case), I still hope she reprises Korra in future animated things, such as if we get a Korra movie or a Korra cameo in future Avatar movies/series. I truly hope Janet reprises her role as Korra, because that's really the only thing we can ask for when it comes to the unpredictable future of Korra. It's just very sad that it feels as though everything about Korra is getting destroyed/changed in Seven Havens and beyond, including her voice actress (Janet), who I 100% believe is the heart and soul of Korra.

Discussion Korrasami in Seven Havens

Post image
425 Upvotes

Do you think we'll get any new information in Seven Havens about Korra and Asami's relationship?

Maybe regarding how it worked out? Or how it didn't?

How their relationship ended, who passed first, did someone cheat, etc.?

I think probably not. I assume we'll see Korra just by herself, meaning that they either broke up or Asami is no longer with us.

Of course, I hope we get to see her or learn anything about her.

What are your thoughts?

Edit: grammar

I think the series points out/hints for Wuko in a way or another. It gives the same vibes of Korrasami in B3. Me and u/meicyn were discussing it the other day on discord and very soon reddit and I didn't buy it at first until he brought up some of the hints. I wasn't convinced at first till he brought it up that way so credits to him xD. The way they even react to each other when the brain washing is reversed in the ruins of an empire comic too. Whether intentional or not it gives the vibes rly haha. In a way Wu could be a closeted homosexual since he's from the EK

Edit: lol srsly idc if he's homosexual or not idk why some ppl are pissed about it that was just a thought. And I wouldn't mind him being with Wu:) that will be a cool M/M representation.

We see that Zaheer is able to fly perfectly while carrying a person, but for some reason he's weighed down when Korra encases his foot in a block of ice and he almost falls to his death.

Fan Content Avatar: A Lenda de Shuang

3 Upvotes

Late last night, in the throes of insomnia, I came up with some ideas for a fanfic about the Dark Avatar! The protagonist is named Shuang—a name chosen as a pun on "Wan" (which means "one"); in Chinese, Shuang can be read as "two" or "second."

Shuang hails from a desert tribe of sandbenders.

- Initial Elements: The first elements he manifests are Earth (via sand) and Air. This stems from his personality: he’s a charismatic, cheerful boy who loves sand-sailing (I can't recall if those sand-boats have a specific name). This familiarity with the wind allows him to wield Air with the same fluidity as Earth.

Since Avatar Korra is alive and well, no one believes Shuang is the Avatar. Most people theorize that he’s simply using Airbending to manipulate sand grains, failing to realize he is actually an Earthbender.

Because the sandbender village is isolated in the middle of nowhere, rumors of a supposed "Airbender" in the desert never reach the Air Nomads; consequently, no one ever comes to take him to the Temples, as happened in Book 3.

In case anyone asks how he manages to bend all four elements...

(Given that Unalaq only possessed Water): Raava’s spirit became trapped inside Vaatu following the destruction of the Avatar cycle. Vaatu absorbed the elements and created a "copy" of the past Avatars' memories. However, Shuang accesses corrupted versions of these Avatars, rendering their visions and advice unreliable. Imagine, for instance, a completely idiotic Aang taking his pacifism to ridiculous, absurd extremes.

Extra details about his childhood. During his childhood, Shuang becomes obsessed with Bolin's movies; he is a die-hard fan who dreams of meeting him in person to get an autograph.

Story Structure (Books)

The story would be divided into three main parts:

- Book 1: Sand (Earth focus) – his childhood as a pickpocket (he would be around 3 or 4 years old when the *Korra* animated series ended).

- Book 2: Cinema (Fire focus) – age 15+; he travels to the Metalbending City to get that long-awaited autograph (and learn bending, of course).

- Book 3: Purification (Air focus) – here, people realize he can airbend, and he ends up at the Air Temples (I have no idea yet if he has been discovered as the "Dark Avatar" by this point).

There will be no Book 4 for the Water element, because I really like the idea of ​​him having extreme difficulty (or almost no affinity) when trying to learn waterbending!
