New “Avatar: Legend of Korra” video surfaces featuring new clips plus an altered show name

Written by on January 16th, 2012

We know many of you are fans of the original Avatar: The Last Airbender series and are quite possibly even more excited for the upcoming Avatar spinoff, Avatar: Legend of Kora! We’re thrilled to say that in addition to confirmation of the show’s title tweak, Nick has officially released a new preview of the show within an on-air look at its upcoming 2012 shows.

Avatar fan site “Avatar The Last Airbender Online” has broken down the short clip, which they say shows the “Equalists, Republic City and some shots that are in fact animatics (animated storyboards)”. It’s a short clip, but we hope that it’ll be the start of many more official previews to come!

Promotion of this video is exciting news for Avatar fans, as it shows that Nick is preparing a full-on promotion and hopefully quick release of the series. Fans have been in quite a tizzy over the show’s continued delay. Looks like we won’t be waiting much longer!

What do you think of the clip and the name change?

    Avatar is my favorite television series ever! So beautifully done, and I’m so excited about the new miniseries! If there were any world that I wished were real, other than Alagaesia of course, it would be Avatar!

    Okay, I’m a little confused, here. Originally, the show was going to be called “Avatar: The Legend of Korra,” right? But then it got changed to “The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra.” Are you saying that it got changed again, this time to “Avatar: Legend of Korra” again, but this time without the “the?” Anyway, super excited! The Last Airbender was, and still is, one of my favorite television shows of all time. It had a linear storyline, unlike most television shows today, and you couldn’t usually watch the episodes out of order, which was good. The setting was unique, the magic system simple yet intriguing, and the characters had great depth to them. Even the artistic styles were fantastic, being reminiscent of anime, but not going overboard, having a distinct American flair to it.
