I just found out about this show yesterday after seeing a commercial for it while I was searchin for something to watch. I watched the first avatar and found it to be way better then I thought it was going to be. I really like the artist of these series. And the story of the first Avatar was really good. But anyways I got off topic- yeah I just saw a commercial yesterday about this so I watched the whole season, and now today all of a sudden I notice this thread..
By the way I got to episode 7. Is that the end?!? theres going to be another season right? or maybe episode 7 isn't the end... I dunno, but that couldn't have been the end.
Korra is split into 2 seasons and will have 26 episodes. Right now we're obviously on the first season, and it will end at 12 episodes. Then season 2 will start and we'll have the next 14.

And really, as much as I loved TLA, I think they started getting a bit overboard towards the end. Azula using fire rocket boots (before the comet), Bumi destroying multiple buildings across an entire city all at once, etc. After a while it just starts to break the suspension of disbelief. Why doesn't Bumi just go single handly win the war if he can do things like that? Why doesn't Azula use rocket boots all the time? I hope we don't see those kinds of power levels reached in LOK unless its korra in the avatar state. Bumi collapsed a huge statue at the top of Omashu and let gravity do the rest of the work. Yeah, that's really impressive, but it's not something he could pull off unscathed while under fire. Shortly before that they showed him actually throwing entire houses simply by punching. I just watched the clip right now.
Holy crap, he did do that. XD It looks like he bent a huge chunk of earth out of the mountainside to push each of the three houses off the mountain, and he did it with a pretty simple, easy-going move. Yeah, I'd say that's a bit imbalanced, haha. Still, unless you have a few other, similar examples up your sleeve, given the scene's situation (making Bumi look awesome while he takes back his city single-handedly, LIKE A BAUWS) and its position in the series (3rd to last episode), I can easily forgive its use of overpowered bending.
I may be the only person who hadn't already realized where Republic City was (or that just the Fire Nation's colonies, not the entire Fire Nation itself, were turned into the United Republic of Nations..... >.>'), but after watching the first episode's introduction again, I am now privy to all that information.  So if you're interested (or as I was, not yet aware), you can check out my skilled use of Paint.

And if, for whatever reason, you're skeptical of my professional graphic design work, you can follow my reasoning for yourself.

So we know the location of at least one former Fire Nation colony. As far as I know, we were never given any such geographical information in TLA, but I'm not entirely sure.

Very nice work.

Republic city is where it is becuase when the fire nation took the earth nation colonies, over 100 years the two cultures meshed together, and so when they tried to pull fire nation outo f the earth kingdom colonies, the had problems, so aang decided make republic city to unite the nations.

We'll find out the entire backstory. Last I checked, Aang was pretty reluctant in creating Republic City because he believed in Roku's ideal of 4 entirely separate nations (see flashback between Roku and Sozin). Otherwise, your explanation is spot-on.
Warning: Heavy spoilers for the Promise Part 1 and 2, read at own discretion
+ Show Spoiler +It was Zuko's idea to abandon the Harmony Restoration Movement altogether that him, Earth King Kuei and Aang had planned together following Ozai's defeat, after he saw his people living side by side with Earth Kingdom citizens. This included the mayor of Yu Dao (old name of Republic City), who married a Earth Kingdom woman.
Aang gets pissed at Zuko when he hears about this and is on the verge of going into Avatar state and killing Zuko because Zuko requested that the former kill him if the latter goes against the other nations. Katarra, as usual, saves Zuko's life by calming Aang down.
In Part 2, Kuei is NOT cool with Zuko's decision to stay. He threatens to restart the 100-Year War if Zuko fails to comply with the terms of the Restoration movement since he's tired of being a butt monkey puppet during the series. And Zuko, of course, being the leader of his people and taking what he saw into consideration, refuses to back down. It's at this point where Aang starts to play the role of a mediator like he should have done instead of jumping all over Zuko to begin with.
TL;DR: So far, the credit only goes to Zuko. Aang just wants his "sweetie".

What is this promise you guys are referring to? Some sort of comic backstory?

It's a three part comic which serves to explain how Republic City was founded and ties up loose plot holes (like Zuko's mom and Azula). It takes place some time after TLA and way before Korra.

yeah where is this coming from, a link to it some where *drools* i cant wait to read it =)
and yeah i thought it was strang that republic city was made, casue Aang was ending the war that started because the firelord wanted united nations (even tho he was going about it the wrong way), but as soon as the fire lord mentioned at united nations Roku was like "NO they must remain separate" or something long the lines of that. So yeah republic city i was like "wwwaahh?" especially when Tenzin says it was Aangs dream. So aang just ended up doing what the firelord wanted to do anyway?? lol

Yep, it's all canon and written by them. Artwork might be different. Part 1 can be found online; just gotta google it for a bit, and then Part 2 came out yesterday, so don't expect to find anything online just yet. Part 3 comes out September.

You'd be surprised at how many people don't know about it. We present an Avatar panal multiple times a year at anime cons (including martial arts demos since me and my friend do Ba Gua/Hsing Yi/Tai chi/Tong Bei) and an *overwhelming* amount of people at each one have no idea what the promise is. I wish they'd market them more.

How much Avatar literature is there? And is it worth buying? I'm a big Halo fan, having played every game and read every novel except "The Flood" and several graphic novels. Before now, I was unaware of the existence of any Avatar literature, but if I hear it's good (or even just decent), I'll probably check it out.

The first series has a set of ongoing comics called "The Promise" which picks up right after the previous series' finale and explains what happens to the Gaang before the events of Korra (and presumably the flashback exposition that TLoK is doing).

As of the moment, Promise hasn't covered any part of the flashback expositions of TLoK. We still see teen Gaang running around, whereas the flashbacks have middle aged Gaang. I doubt we're going to see the latter at all; the Promise is probably going to end with Republic City coming into existence for the first time.

King kuei? now that i search him up, oh lol the earth king! I always wondered what happened to him
I mean, TLA's ending was so well wrapped up, but king kuei was like the only thing they left out xD
Also I forgot what but i remember 1 of the guys, who escape from the prison in that one jail break episode -- i don't remember seeing him ever again once he (and others?) split ways with the avatar team when zuko was hunting after them
but other than that pretty much everything was tied up xD

Yeah, I'm definitely checking this out.
Is the wiki right about The Promise, Part 2's release date? It lists May 30, but both Amazon and B&N say June 12. Hmm, well, the source for the wiki's info is an online article from February, so it may just be the date got pushed back since then.
