the new Avatar has arrived

[januar]

You guys. I want, like, ALL the icons. Don't be surprised if all my empty icon spaces become filled with icons from The Legend of Korra. There is a high chance of it happening!

I have so many FEELINGS. But I suck at organizing them into sensible sentences, so here. Have a bulleted list of FEELINGS.

- The "Earth, Fire, Air, Water" opening with Kyoshi, Rokku, Aang, and Korra? SO AWESOME.
- An Air book! Yay!
- Little Korra! Who can fire bend and earth bend! AWESOME.
- Old lady Katara! With hair loopies!
- A WOMAN IN THE WHITE LOTUS. HECK YEAH.
- Tenzin and his airbending kids!
- PEMA. Who doesn't want air blown in her face!
- Kaya and Bumi is the names of Aang and Katara's other kids!
- Air bison who is not Appa (although I totally went "Appa!" when I first saw it.) Still, air bison!
- Most of Katara's friends are gone. Sad face.
- I want a polar bear dog. Naga, you are awesome.
- Wow. Things have advanced a lot.
- Mafia benders!
- Metal benders!
- Look, it's a statue of older Toph! Toph!
- And look, Toph's daughter!
- "I'm watching you" fingers. From both of them! I love Lin's reaction when Korra does it back at her.
- Poor Tenzin. It must be weird having to train your father's reincarnation.
- Korra is so strong! She picked them all up! Group hug!
- Creepy guy in mask! Who are you?? Are you someone we've met before and is now really old. YOU'RE ACTUALLY ZHAO, AREN'T YOU. ...yeah, that's a long stretch. I don't know why I had to say that.

- "A Leaf in the Wind". Of course my brain thinks of Wash. Thanks, Serenity.
- Flying lemar!
- Spiral walking/dancing! Just like Aang would move!
- Milo, you have such a funny head.
- Mako and Bolin! Siblings who bend different elements! Awesome!
- "The. Avatar!" I've been waiting for that line.
- Look at all the people in airbender outfits. Are they nonbenders learning to be airbenders? Are they new airbenders who have been born in the last 70 years?
- "I make no such promises." Jinora, you are great!
- Korra's moving like an airbender! Dodge those attacks, Korra!
- Tenzin cheered for a probending match! Heehee.
- It's totally going to be Korra/Mako, isn't it. You can just tell.

I'm so looking forward to the rest of the season. KORRA.

I just had a sudden moment of "Wait, Fire Lord Ozai was stripped of his bending, maybe he's an anti-bender... no, okay, he's a generation older than the last surviving characters, that won't work." It looks like all characters surviving from Last Airbender are ancient now. If the masked man doesn't have wrinkled hands, we can't have heard of him.

That's a good point about the wrinkled hands. I guess part of me just wants to see someone else who has survived in the new series.

In my heart, I suspect that the choice of the "A Leaf in the Wind" title was 100% to troll Firefly fans.

As a Firefly fan, I am all in favor of this.

Other things I am all in favor of: EVERYTHING THE LEGEND OF KORRA CHOOSES TO BE.
