We’re lower than a month away from the premiere of a model new present within the Avatar-verse, which is occurring 12 full years after The Legend of Korra ended its run. Avatar: Seven Havens begins streaming through Paramount+ on October 9 and we lastly have an actual beefy trailer to get us pumped.
We bought some footage again in July, but that was more of a teaser. That is almost three minutes of the present, full with character voices and loads of hints as to the place the story goes. The animation additionally appears very good, which is typical for the franchise.
The story appears steeped in post-apocalyptic taste. One thing dangerous occurred after the occasions of The Legend of Korra and the world is in shambles, forcing survivors to retreat to the titular seven havens. As a matter of truth, Korra is being blamed for these occasions (which is on brand) so public sentiment has shifted negatively towards the whole idea of Avatars.
Enter Avatar Pavi, a younger lady who will doubtless should go on the run as soon as individuals determine her id. She has a twin sister, which may very well be organising some wild spirit world shenanigans. Similar to the opposite reveals, she has a good friend group that (hopefully) has her again.
For the uninitiated, this franchise began with Avatar: The Final Airbender greater than 20 years in the past. Every of the next reveals introduces a brand new Avatar, after the earlier one has died. It is a Dalai Lama kind of factor, however with element-based superpowers.
The Legend of Korra was set a full 70 years after the primary one. The showrunners of Seven Havens, together with franchise co-creator Michael Dante DiMartino, not too long ago confirmed to Polygon that it takes place a full 200 years after Korra. That doubtless means we cannot be getting older variations of supporting Korra characters, just like the bad-ass grandma Toph and old-man Zuko in that collection. How did Korra dwell that lengthy? We’ll discover out, although it is not unprecedented within the lore.
The primary three episodes drop on October 9, with the present following a weekly launch schedule after that. It is already been renewed, so two 13-episode seasons are coming our method.
This has been a busy 12 months for the franchise. We simply bought a film that followed the adult version of Avatar Aang. It was fairly superior, even when it did leak in its entirety on-line months earlier than it got here out. The second season of the live-action Netflix present additionally dropped earlier this year, with a 3rd and last one on the best way.
