This is true; we should be getting word on an airdate pretty soon, though.

Here's one of the creepier versions of Azula out there:

Anyways, aside from that, everyone looks pretty good. Now if the show would just hurry the fuck up and come back on, that'd be great :amuse

I have a super major revelation about this storyboard:

But, on the subject of the future of the show beyond Book 3, I think you'll be interested in this interview with Mike and Bryan:

Page 2: http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/6a8cd8284e.jpg (http://www.freeimagehosting.net/)

Notice that the interviewer brings up the 3-year extension that, as far as I've seen, the two of them have not explicitly confirmed. They don't exactly do that here, but they don't deny it either.

Very possibly.

Unfortunately, Eric Coleman, the executive at Nick that basically made Avatar happen and let Mike and Bryan make the show the way they wanted, defected to Disney last month. Right now, the Nick potentates say that they are committed to the show, and the movies. But look at this:

http://www.usatoday.com/money/media/2007-09-20-avatar_N.htm

Sure sounds like resounding support, but have their actions matched their rhetoric in the promotion of Book 3? Seems like they are currently more interested in the movies. And who the hell knows who'll be in charge of the network by the time a Book 4 would be formulating. It could be someone that hates the show. :(

Superstarseven

03-11-2008, 05:18 PM

Ah yes, the Beckett's Pokemon interview with Mike and Bryan. Many a thread have been started with those 2 images.
The usual conclusion: No book 4.

The only reason I say that there will be no 4th season is because there's no Avatar staff to work on one. I remember Lauren Montgomery (storyboarder) replying to someone on her blog that there is hardly anyone working in the Avatar office at Nick studios and that she herself will be out of there in a couple of weeks. That was around November of last year. Johanne who drew those incredible epilogue storyboards was let go a few months ago. She's back at Nick...although working on an animated show featuring the penguins from the film Madagascar. Considering the amount of time to complete one 22 minute episode of Avatar and the fact that there's no one to work on scripts, storyboards, editing etc. I think we can call Avatar done for now. Wouldn't make much sense for Nick to extend the show's contract and let everyone go. Will it return in some form? Besides the films, yes I think the show's universe will continue on somehow but the Animated incarnation won't be back anytime soon after the final episode.

Edit: Still not sure if it's real or not. It seems too Harry Potter-esque.

It is real but It's not something that's going to happen in the series. It was drawn on real stock Avatar storyboards by a real one-time Avatar storyboarder which makes the confusion worse but it was a gag set up for the New York Anime Festival last year (Avatar at an Anime festival???) and that Harry Potter feeling that's nagging you is intentional. It was meant to parody the ending of Deathly Hallows.

Nick would certainly be gracious if they were to show the remaining episodes with no break in between because it's gone on for long enough and also because the last episodes have to be at least 99.99% done. Counting from the announcement that Avatar was renewed for a third season to the end of this month, 20 months will have gone by. That's enough time I think.

as much as that sucks do you really blame him? Nick really knows how to shit all over really good series due to stupid contractual issues that they refused to compromise on, I'm thinking really good shows like the Angry Beavers and Hey Arnold that met premature ends due to disagreements that could easily have been avoided. I honestly don't know why Nick refuses to get its act together.

Really hope Nick gets their stuff together and finishes off the series with an uninterrupted regular schedule. It's amazing how this show ever managed to amass such a large and loyal fanbase.

Zim was canceled due to reasons other than contract agreements. Nick pulled it because it was garnering good ratings in the demographic they were aiming for. That being said, it doesn't mean Zim wasn't getting good ratings, it was just that it was getting high ratings in the 14-18 demographic rather than the 8-11 demographic Nick was hoping for. I myself don't see that as a reason to have pulled the show. Ratings are ratings and if the show was pulling ratings in a different demographic than intended Nick should have found some way to accommodate for that like a block latter in the evening including programming for slightly older people, ya know teens, guess they came a little late with that teen nick sunday block but after completely ruining snick I don't see how a block with tween dramas is helping anyone.

One thing about the airdate of 312: Nick has an episode of Avatar scheduled for Thursday, March 27th, which will be."The Avatar and the Fire Lord." Nothing for the 28th, though. So 312 is going to have to air either April 4th of April 11th, or they're going to run into the DVD release date.

you mean 314 right? :sigh: I had forgotten Canada had aired a bunch of episodes before Nick so that means an even longer wait for 314. Oh well, I'll enjoy rewatching the episode where Zuko joins the group again, his awkwardness was so entertaining :amuse

Yeah, I meant 312. Legally, that's the next new episode for Americans. :wink Nick will air the last 10 of book 3 as a block like the first 11, so 312's our starting point. If 314 is what you're interested in, then that'll be late April.

This is assuming that Nick airs 315 before the DVD comes out May 6th. It does seem silly and futile applying logic to Nick's decision making.

It's alright, no one has to follow what I do but I would like to show one off to the fans.
OK imagine this scenario, Japanese dubbed Avatar is doing so well that Japan offers to make a brand new 13 episode series with all the characters in a reimagining of the show and Masashi Kishimoto is offered a job to do character design. How would it look?
Or simply...how would Avatar look in Kishi's style?

Kunoichi-san (http://kunoichi-san.deviantart.com/) on DeviantArt or by the man himself. Perhaps if they were dressed in Konoha clothing the resemblance would stand out more. The guy did a good job anyway. By the way if the show were to ever be reimagined into an Anime/Manga, I'd want this design for Aang.
http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c255/soldieroffaith/Gone_with_the_wing__Aang_by_elsevil.jpg

So I was thinking about the film series a few minutes ago and the problem with the title. As you're aware James Cameron has a film titled Avatar which is to be released next year and they had a problem with Paramount over who owns the movie title. So if Paramount can't use Avatar:The Last Airbender, what alternate titles could work?
In other countries the subtitle is The Legend Of Aang instead of The Last Airbender.
I'm thinking that could be a good alternate title because it sounds strong and because of the property recognition, people will know exactly what the films are about. I was also thinking that even The Last Airbender might work too.
The title implies that it's a fantasy film so that might even work better for it. Plus it's even got an air of mystery to it...what exactly is an Airbender? Ahh well. I know they're in the middle of casting sessions so the best I can hope for is that the kids who are hired have some training in either Martial Arts or at the very least Dance so that they'll be able to pick up the moves easily or else it's a 6 month training session as with The Matrix series.

I agree. I just remembered they're were a bunch of spoilers right after the whole "black sun" ep. aired. It was something about a girl who was watching the group at the air temple and at the end of the episode she whipped out a glider like Aang's and took off.

hmm...arrows, this is a side thought, but since there haven't been any new episodes and the conversation has gotten kind of lax I hope you guys don't mind if I switch gears a little. Anyway with the arrows in the airbender tradition, once you've mastered the element you get them right? Aang had gotten his arrows at the age of 12 (or maybe before it's never really said but was at least 12 I guess), which meant he mastered the element right? However, the rest of the airbender kids decided to not include him in their games only after they found out he was an avatar because it would "be unfair." However, if he was already an airbender master playing with non-masters wasn't it already unfair to begin with? I dunno I kind of thought back to that early episodes and though it was dumb the kids didn't mind playing with a master of air, but suddenly an avatar changes everything.

Yeah I believe you're right. People were speculating what would happen in Ep. 312 and then that huge fake mega-spoiler was released. Very detailed too, I believe it also included something about Azula falling to her death. I've mentioned this before but the best fake title ever given to an episode of Avatar was "The Last Koufous" partly because that last word is made up and it made it into IMDB. Oh and it was also credited to 'Fresh Prince' Will Smith.
Yes I'm sure Will Smith would make his writing debut for a small show on a Cable TV network aimed at kids. A script is worth what? 50k if the writer is lucky? Probably less.

Not true, the other kids Aang played with in the flashback of "The Storm" and "The Southern Air Temple", were not very skilled with the air scooter yet had tatoos. And let's not forget Gyatso in "The Avatar and the Firelord".

Maybe skilled but not mastered.

Say wha? The only kid with arrows was Aang:

Gyatso's forehead was bare as well:

http://dvdscreenshots.avatarspiritmedia.net/306/260.jpg

This is from the IGN interview with the creators, which answers the arrow question:

IGN: I've seen the entire first season and bits and pieces from the second, so forgive me if this has already been answered, but while watching the series, there's been one question that's really been occurring to me time and again: What does the arrow on Aang's head mean?

MIKE: All Airbenders get tattoos on their head, arms, and legs once they master Airbending. The arrows run along the chi paths in the body. Aang was the youngest Airbender to ever master Airbending so he received his tattoos at a very early age. The Airbenders were inspired by the arrows on the heads of the air bison, the original Airbenders.

It does appear, though, that Avatars from other nations do not receive the tattoos upon mastery.

Whoa...it's not that important, I just thought it'd be interesting to see Avatar characters in pseudo-kishimoto style. But anyway to completely repeat what Jove wrote, The airbending tattoos seem to be native to the air nomads and aren't necessary for the Avatar in other nations to have. Unless one wants to do it out of respect but regardless we haven't seen any example of that thus far. It'll be interesting to see Mike and Bryan expand the history and this world a bit more over their games of ping-pong. Hopefully the fans will get an official book featuring art and backstory, even if it's mailorder only.

I wonder how Nick would react to something like that, if Mike and Bryan pitch the Avatar itself as the focus of the next season(s). I'm guessing somewhere between the nadir of interest they show now and double homicide. I guess that's the paradox of the movies: if they hit big, M&B can do whatever the hell they want for future seasons, but would they want to commit themselves to television if they're such hot property?

To your post before, I do wonder what the movies will be titled. Paramount says they registered the name with the MPAA; I wonder how far Fox is willing to go to prevent a movie adaptation from using already established intellectual property.

I think it will be called Avatar, but I wonder if Shyamalan will use different subheadings for each movie.

well then I was right from the getgo, which brings me back to the question why the kids felt that playing with an airbending master brought no unfair advantage but playing with an avatar did. It's like feeling there's no unfair advantage to playing backyard football with an NFL allstar but if that allstar is an allstar at every sport then there's suddenly a problem.

Penalizing Aang for being skilled would have been illogical, even for children.

But when they learned that the source of his skill was being the Avatar- Aang's impressiveness was no longer impressive. It was expected because he was labeled an exceptionally powerful being by default.

It's all just relativity.

TEN episodes and nothing short of that, that's not even that a big of a commitment, but could they stick that? No, around the 9th episode they took a week off, and even though it was just a week, when you advertise you're going to show 10 episodes straight, you sure as hell better show all ten episodes in 10 consecutive weeks, other wise that just makes you a lying bastard.

The panel will be packed with exclusive sneak peeks of upcoming episodes, production art, the official trailer for the highly anticipated finale and a Q&A with special guests, show creators Bryan Konietzko and Mike DiMartino. Moderated by Megan Casey, Executive in Charge for Nickelodeon."

I was considering attending when it was simply a Nick Magazine panel about the all-Avatar mag, but decided against it. Now the odds of me going are about 100%.

And does where they take a promotional picture really matter? It's purely promotional as the name implies. Not that great of a picture anyway, IMO. :headscrat

I'm not asking for the artist's head on plate, I just found it odd that they're posing on the Great Wall Of China.
Anyway, the NYCC Avatar panel sounds like the greatest thing ever. The only reason I might not go is because I'm cheap. I believe there was a fine showing at the Avatar panel from the NY Anime Festival a few months back but Comic-Con is the big time so it'd be interesting to see the turnout at this one now that you have the creators and a sneak peak at the final 4 chapters to look forward to.

By the way why would they start using Bruce Lee as a reference for Aang this late in the game?

Yeah it's both exciting and exhausting to see this story come to a close.
I started watching right before the big "Secret Of The Fire Nation" promotion in the summer of '06 so I was a little late to the game but believe me, I'm all caught up and know everything I will ever need to know about the show. Nick kinda dropped the ball on not adding more action/adventure shows but I suppose they want to leave a lasting legacy of only being innovative once. Sure we all love the classic Nicktoons but they're all comedy based, Nickelodeon could've tried stepping outside of that box a few more times. Oh well, bring on Penguins Of Madagascar!

Nickelodeon has fallen in love with scheduling Avatar for it's normal time slot two weeks in advance, and then changing it two days before air. I'm pretty sure they think the Avatar fanbase is some sort of flash mob, able to be assembled and disbanded at will.

really? I had no idea nick was playing this song and dance game with its avatar fans, well that's just a load of bull cookies :notrust. I ask anyone who's going to avatar pannel at comicon to ask the creators how they feel about nick's "treatment" of scheduling and syndicating their show. In all honesty I'd be pissed if I were them, it's one thing to take long breaks between blocks of new episodes it's another thing entirely when it gets ZERO syndication on the main network it's being aired on.

Spot-on. I would gladly ask them that, but unfortunately the panel is being moderated by an EIC for Nickelodeon. Even if I got to the mic with a bogus question and threw it out there, they wouldn't respond. And even if I was to ask them directly elsewhere, they'd still give a diplomatic answer. They're tied to Nick at the moment.

But I'd have to believe they are at the very least perplexed by it.

Exactly, they'd know we'd jump straight to a message board and report back that they hate Nickelodeon. That's not really what you want to have a meeting about the next day.

I'd have to believe they are at the very least perplexed by it.

Oh most certainly, the entire season is in the can and has been for a while. That was a year of hard work and Nick is holding it back because...?

04-06-2008, 03:18 AM

God, do I fucking hate Capslock.

But Kisu's reaction was hilariously disproportionate. It wasn't like this was some graphic fanfic; it was some girl describing a pretty innocuous 30 second conversation that shipped Kisu and Bryke.

It was a great excuse to go to Kisu's myspace page, though, because he has ebedded vids from the movie Dragon Fire, a movie in which he choreographed and... acted. "Ordinary force... EXTRAORDINARY FORCE!!"

Kisu'll never find this place, right?

Taurus Versant

04-06-2008, 04:10 AM

You'd better hope he doesn't.

Jove

04-06-2008, 03:52 PM

Kisu calmed down pretty quickly. He knows we all love him and know the show wouldn't be the same without him. He's got some sort of reassurance-serenity prayer on his Myspace blog now, and the others are gone. Too bad, though; those meltdown posts were amazing. The best one was the post after the fiasco, where he said that, "At almost 50 i am pretty mellow, been there done that, thinkin' 'bout doin' sumpin' like it again typa guy."

Now that I think of it, he mentioned Naruto in his first reaction... oh tag, he might actually find this place! :twitch

I suppose I could carry a gun on me at all times, but he'd just kick it out of my hand. I could carry two guns, but he'd just kick the second one out of my hand when I draw that one. Hmmm... I wonder how many I'd have to carry before he'd stop kicking them away. And I've never even held a gun before, so I'd have to learn and stuff. Fuck that. I'm just going to run at the slightest hint that someone might be Kisu, or Kisu in disguise. Or male, just to be safe.

Anyway, on his blog, he has this tremendous gif, which someone made right after it all went down:

Like May 6. Or, that's what it's listed as on Amazon. So, we need to see something, and soon.

Edit--
Yeah, Volume 3 (http://www.amazon.com/Avatar-Last-Airbender-Book-Fire/dp/B0012Z36CQ/ref=pd_bbs_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1207576850&sr=8-2) is due on May 6. It's supposed to include the two Boiling Rock episodes.

And Sozin's Comet: The Final Battle (http://www.amazon.com/Sozins-Comet-Final-Battle-Avatar/dp/1416958274/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207576782&sr=8-1) is due out on May 20.

So.. before May 20, we should have the new ones.

Mider T

04-07-2008, 11:06 AM

Well let's calculate it. If Nick airs the 2 Boiling Rock episodes as a special on April 18th, we'll have 10 episodes left to go. They'll have to air at least another 2 episodes as a special before May 20th followed by the 4 episode finale on the week before release if they hope to catch up.

Either way, we win with a cluster of new episodes at a time.

You want have to wait any longer than a month and a half at the most.

Superstarseven

04-07-2008, 06:14 PM

Well in the meantime, let's fill up on some spoiler info eh?

Most likely we will probably hear more about Ursa - Zuko is still supposedly going to go looking for her. But we'll see - as I'm not 100% that that story line will actually be tied up. Like I've said before, the finale will tie some things up, but many of the bigger story lines, such as Iroh's trip to the spirit world, will not be touched on any further and remain open to interpretation.

Anyway, back to my teaser. It is Katara and Sokka's mom who we will see this season - that is right! Like I said I don't know any specifics - like the arc in which she will be in or the episode - but it is good information nonetheless. Is this when we will also see the villain with a "disturbing" connection to Katara and Sokka, as mentioned in the second all-Avatar magazine by head writer Aaron Ehasz? We will see, but I think based on this it is a good possibility.

Hope you all enjoyed that teaser! Let me throw another one at you. One character in particular will go missing "for awhile," as in we won't see him for a number of episodes. He is in some flashbacks, however. Who is the "old gasbag"? I think you know. Rumor has it he and his buddy are headed to Ember Island to meet up with Lo and Li, and that makes up the plot for 317!

I personally don't think so. The Gaang's story is finished and shouldn't drag on like some shows *cough*NarutoBleachOnePiece*cough*. I'd really like to see an all new story with a new Avatar and crew. Heck, the main character doesn't even have to be the Avatar although that kinda would ruin the point of the title.

Jove

04-07-2008, 08:11 PM

Apparently that last part was a joke, he was implying a date. Just like you guys I didn't pick up on it until his buddy pointed it out. So no, 317 is not an Iroh-centric episode.
By the way I say put all your trust in that spoiler, the guy has/had a contact within the show and has put out reliable info in the past.

Bastard.
That's me being jealous.

Yup, Dongbufeng is pretty solid.

You're also totally correct to call him a bastard. The two guys that run that site are complete idiots at best, and most of the time they're just self-impressed pricks, like the time the main guy claimed Mike and Bryan steal writing credits without doing the work.

About the spoilers, though: I'm really disappointed that Iroh's trip to the Spirit World won't be given any elaboration. That was very near the top of things I was anticipating in the final run.
