Sorry for the Autism, I get that with ATLA.
In comparison, the Korra doc is only 11 pages.
Before that, a slight timeline.
>Sozin's Comet is July 19th, 2008
>The Art of the Animated series is released May 19 2010 but has a forward by Shyamalan dated November 16, 2009.
>Initial pitch for Korra is written 2nd of March, 2010.
>Shyamalan movie released June 30, 2010
>First ep of Korra Book 1 is April 12th 2012
So while Bryke was collecting material for the artbook (read here:
https://e-hentai.org/g/1236074/b48c6d2afd/)(There's a second edition but I can't find a .pdf for it and that came out in 2020), they were already pitching Korra. I think I remember hearing rumors around mid 2010 that a new series was coming but this confirms it.
>Avatar Korra – Female, 17. Korra is a Waterbender with a fiery personality. She’s an athletic, confident, headstrong, tomboy who fully accepts and relishes her role as “The Chosen One.” Never one to be told who she is or what she can do, at the age of 4, Korra surprised her parents by proclaiming, “I am the Avatar!”
I'm the Avatar, you gotta deal with it!
Still dealing with it all these years later...
>Korra has a good heart and always strives to do the right thing.
Typical Mary Sue trait. Remember how Katara was described as this?
>Fourteen-year-old Katara is the heart of the show. She is a caring and passionate teenage girl. Kindness and empathy are her most endearing traits. She is always the first to stop and use her healing abilities to help someone who is sick or hurt.
I really do believe they wrote Korra the way they wanted to originally write Katara before Aaron stepped in.
>Mako – Male, 18, Firebender. The tall, lean, and handsome Mako is the top fighter in the Bending Arena’s amateur league.
Ahh, the Bending fighting. Useless additions to the show because Bryke saw MMA and wanted that in the show.
>Bolin – Male, 16, Earthbender. Mako’s brother is expressive, high-spirited, and enthusiastic.
Tried to create Sokka 2.0 and fell flat.
>Amon is quickly gaining support among many classes of non-benders who feel that they are not being represented by the all-bender government.
Amon was wasted. Oh he's a waterbender who can Bloodbend without a moon. Yah, that'll go over good.
>Asami - Female, 17, non-bender. Mako’s girlfriend comes from a well-to-do, traditional, non-bending family of Fire Nation colonial descent that values status and wealth. Asami is very concerned with keeping up appearances – she is always made up and dressed beautifully whenever she’s out in public.
>When Mako starts spending a lot of time with Korra, she gets very jealous.
So Asami was originally pitched as straight huh. I do know Bryke changed her as the show went on in part due to fandom ships. Hmm.
Sifu Toza, Mako and Bolin's Arena teacher and Ono, a reporter, were both scrapped. I don't think there's concept art of them in the Korra art books.
>Zuko – Three years ago, Zuko (age 87) turned over the reins of the Fire Nation to his only son.
Funny, Izumi must have been a change around when book 3 happened then.
>Unlike “The Last Airbender’s” predetermined 3-season story arc, “The Legend of Korra” is designed to have self-contained, 12-episode seasons. The episodes within each season are continuous and chronicle one adventure in the story of Korra’s life. Each season will have a clear, satisfying conclusion, but will be written in a way that sets up a potential subsequent season.
>satisfying conclusion
Oh boy... That sure didn't happen. Not with how much it tore down ATLA.
>When she arrives, Korra is in awe of the bustling, steampunk, industrial age metropolis. Even though she and her polar bear-dog look very out of place among the trolleys, suspension bridges, and skyscrapers, Korra feels at home in this land of freedom and opportunity, where citizens of all nations live side by side.
Yes, because the 1920s are such an interesting time.
>The basic concept is “Avatar in a modern era” where we explore the clash between tradition and modernity. All the epic drama, humor, and dynamic bending action of the original series are still here, but the setting has been updated to be reminiscent of New York, Hong Kong, or Shanghai at the turn of the 20th century.
There's no hint that the Avatar is part of the planet, just says that Aang is reincarnated as Korra. So they abandoned the spiritual aspects to focus more on bending.
>Korra breaks with
established custom and decides to train all the bending arts at the same time, rather than in succession.
Because she's the mary sue, just that good and you gotta deal with it.
Yeah, there's not much here.
