Avatar: The last Airbender gets another sequel from original creators Michael Dimartino and Brian Konicko. In honor of the 20th anniversary of the series, Nickelodeon announced the next series of franchise, Avatar: Seven Shelters, one of the first editions of the Avatar studio. The new show will focus on a young earthquake that becomes the next Avatar per crust.
I've been an Avatar fan: The last air traffic from a child, and I wanted to see Aang and his friends going to adventures and learned to bend the four elements. The show had everything: magical military skills, flying bison, Secret tunnels And children are trying to save the world. Two decades later, it is held incredibly well. (Recently Live adaptation was attractive, but I thought it was missing part of the charm of the original show.)
I was equally enthusiastic about the Sequel series, Legend of Korra, which takes place 70 years after Atla. The crust was aimed at older demographics with its more mature political themes and the main cast of teenagers/early adults. I enjoyed being submerged in his urban setting, where members of the four nations lived in harmony in the Republic of City (OK, “harmony” may not be true – the city was attacked on several occasions).
However, the Avatar Universe has changed somewhere in the last season of the crust. While the story itself was strong and brought the arch to the character of the crust in a suitable close, there were times when I felt that the technology of her world overshadowed her bending. With the aerial workers in the futuristic wings in the fight against an epic battle against the high, energy mechanism for cannons, the show began to feel more like science fiction. There is nothing wrong with it-I want science fiction-but it didn't feel like the right choice for the avatar, a series that was traditionally set in an alternative past of fantasy with mythological roots.
That's why Avatar's premise: Seven Haynes sounds like the perfect way to reset the universe. Here's the official synopsy of Nickelodeon:
Avatar: Seven shelters are placed in a world -shattered cataclysm. A young earthquake reveals that it is the new avatar, per peel – but in this dangerous era, she marks the title as the destroyer of mankind, not his savior. Hunting both human and spiritual enemies, she and her long -lost twin must discover their mysterious origin and save the seven shelters before the last strongholds of civilization fail.
We know that the seven shelters will be placed somewhere on the crust, but we do not know exactly when. What stands out is that the new avatar no longer respects society as its predecessors. If it is marked as a “destroyer of mankind”, we can probably assume that Cora was accused of events that destroyed the world. The new premise is an intriguing twist of the conventional heroic story of Avatar, though not without an advantage: Aang and Cora were occasionally refugees in their series.
Synopsis also implies that technology in seven Haynes has taken a step backwards. Although I do not know what life looks like in “the last strongholds of civilization”, I am sure we will not see another skyscraper size mechanism.
In front of seven sheltersIt was announced, I was wondering if the sequel to the crust would feel even more futuristic. I was worried that bending would fade in the background of a world with modern technology. I am glad that this brief overview in the new series suggests a low-tech, perhaps post-apocalyptic environment; This will be a great way to visually distinguish seven shelters. I hope we see more of Atla's magic and mythology. Dimartino and Konicko are incredibly gifted world builders and I am excited about what they have for us.
