There is no mediocre in Ba Sing Se.

Don't you need a strong physical connection to the ground in order to earth bend?

Might be difficult with only one leg.

Probably easier to metal bend one. At least it won't fall apart when you stop concentrating.

I think it'd require constant focus that a kid her age probably isn't capable of consistently. Maybe after a lot of training she won't need the prosthetic

Probably going to be used as character development. That is my guess.

An elemental leg is too cool to pass up

Partial Rock Avatar

We've already had that

Looks like Airbender garb remodeled after the pro bending armor from Korra.

I'm guessing this is a guide from the white lotus.

True, I didnt notice that but now that you say it

An anthology series where each episode, or portion of an episode, is just a small personal story set in the a avatar universe should be take nice and fun. Think "The Tales of Ba Sing Se", but about ground level events of citizens of different nations and times, focusing on a new, usually unrelated character in each episode. It would be a great way to world build without needing an avatar to be around all the time. It wouldn't have to be exclusively about non-benders, but should always be about people doing good.

Just simple stuff like: A sheep-monkey herder in the outskirts of the Earth kingdom defending her flock from hunting rat-wolves. Then she rescues a newborn sheep-monkey that gets washed away in a river during the attack. It ends with her sitting vigilant on a grassy hill, the newborn asleep on her lap, it's mother napping at her side, and surrounded by the rest of her flock also sleeping, secure under her watchful eye.

I was about to say, the color scheme is VERY moebius inspired. The world looks almost alien, it's going to be an interesting take on the franchise.

It's post-apocalyptic, from some kind of spiritual disaster.

Post apocalypse from what I've heard.

They only dropped the Avatar title in the US. Everywhere else, it was Avatar: The Legend of Korra. Might wind up with the same thing here. James Cameron also might only have the rights to the Avatar name for movies and not television.

I was also hoping the show would have dual avatars as the twins, each with two elements.

I really liked this too, but someone talked me out of this idea for a fic, actually. The reasoning being that this is the Earth Avatar Cycle, so it would be almost canon breaking for one to not have earthbending. They wouldn't go through the stages of learning each element, it would kinda throw out the "four elements" synergy and fights and lore. They reminded me that the trope of twins being very close and "two parts of a whole" actually irritates many RL twins (hence's Ty Lee's character).

So my take is twins that each have four elements, but inclinations to two each, as well as yin yang kind of personality conflicts.

2027 at the earliest, I believe. Next year will have an animated movie featuring the original ATLA characters, and then this is the next announced project afterwards

Yes!

i feel it's kinda telling that my immediate first thought was "huh? but toph- ohh right, not the avatar"

did aang ever pull off anything on the scale that toph did? that whole "holding up an entire fucking underground library" thing feels like it was only really topped by kyoshi splitting off her island

It's just concept art. The show's style will be different, see the original LoK promo:

Or the early sketches for characters: https://old.reddit.com/r/legendofkorra/comments/j9vw8j/korra_book_1_concepts/

That said, I love this promo. The full res version looks much better, if you havent' seen it: https://variety.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Aurora_Press1_06_04_25_Horizontal-1.jpg

to be brutally honest it feels like the cover of a generic (young) children's fantasy book, it's too.. grand and colourful

i think it's also that the protagonist looks so realistically young, Aang was 12 when he came out of the iceberg but he didn't really look 12 and only sorta acted his age for a few episodes, because otherwise it'd be kinda grating to watch as an adult and espically as an older teenager..

Looks good but not hand drawn, sadly.

Hm? I'd bet it's drawn by one of the co-creators. Check out their Tumblrs, they draw stuff like this all the time for fun.

Here is the full press image (recommend opening it in a tab, it's big):

LoK is super under rated. Season 2 is a bit of a slog but the rest of it is great.
