The Legend of Korra/WMG/Just for Fun
For theories about other subjects, see The Legend Of Korra Wild Mass Guessing Index.
The future of The Avatar verse is The world of Asura's Wrath.
It's simple, really. Sometime after the end of Korra's adventure, a new power source of energy was discovered that rendered bending of the elements worthless, the power of Mantra. Taking their old bending powered machines and enhancing them with mantra the people of the avatar world advanced to new heights the world had never seen before.
Because bending was no longer needed, the benders decided to utilize mantra instead, and via genetic manipulation, became the first demigods, and thus, the Shinkoku Trastrium Civilization came to be. Any former non benders stayed regular humans, and eventually developed their own language to distinguish themselves from the former benders, that while still could be understood between the demigods and regular humans, it is untillegible to us veiwers.
Now what happened to the avatar spirit, you may ask? Simple. Because the world advanced way to quickly, pollution and overpopulation plagued the formerly unified world, and the Demigods did exactly what The Equalist anti bending group of The Legend of Korra feared, and that was have regular humans be lower class citizens under the Demigod's rule. With The Golden Spider/Chakratarvin irritating and making the avatar spirit angry and full of rage at the demigods for ruining the balance it tried to keep together so much, the spirit twisted into Gohma Vlitra, and thus caused the first war of creation between the gohma and the Demi-gods.
So now, instead of keeping the world in balance, the former Avatar now turned into Gohma waged war for thousands, if not millions of years, thus the Avatar never being able to reincarnate ever again. It was now up to the demi-gods to take back their world from the Gohma.
- Going along with this, perhaps the Avatar was created in the first place by Chakravartin, the spinner of life and mantra. He used the image of the Avatar as his personal agent of enlightenment and prosperity, with a bit of his power through the extended control of the four elements. However, the Avatar proved to flawed in each recent reincarnation (letting loved ones die; Roku failing to stop Sozin and forcing the mantle onto his descendant Aang, a preteen at the time; Korra's initial lack of control and discipline) that Chakravartin, as the Golden Spider, decided to end the Avatar's reign through subtle manipulation and create a new heir and ruler to the world; not only in his own image, but one who has rising amongst mortals and gained power on their own, without a predestined duty to bring balance to the world. He even admits as much to Asura at the final episode that "Gaea must be led by one of its own", implying that mindset. Destroying Vlitra, the previous 'guardian' of the world, would be the ultimate test.
Korra takes place in the new Pokémon games.
A lot of nature vs. technology stuff in both this show and Pokémon Black and White.
The obligatory Magic: The Gathering WMG
- Korra is so Red it's not even funny. Maybe Red/Blue/Green given her powers as the Avatar.
- Korra would be Red/Blue. Earth and Fire are Red, Air and Water are Blue.
- Depends. Green has wind spells, and on Avatarverse, Air is more associated with spirituality, which is Green.
- Mako is ironically White/Blue
- Bolin seems Green/Red
- The airbenders as a whole gravitate towards White and/or Green, with Tenzin being whiter than most.
- Lin Beifong is the epitome of White bitchery.
- Amon is probably White/Black if not pure White. His Lieutenant seems Blue, so it'd be fun if he were White/Black.
- Skoochy is Black in the "not evil, but still opportunistic" way.
- Tarrlok is either Black/White or Black/Blue, depending on how one interprets his motivations.
Shiro Shinobi the Combat Commentator is a Fourth Wall Observor
He knows that he's in a television show, and has either read the script or been told what is going to happen, and so has taken on the job of narrating the "Previously On..." segments.
Obligatory Haruhi Suzumiya WMG
Haruhi saw Avatar: The Last Airbender, and thought it would be pretty snazzy to be an avatar, and her unconsciously omnipotent reality-warping head brainfarted the Korraverse into in existence, where:
- Korra is Haruhi,
- Mako is Kyon,
- Bolin is Koizumi,
and so on.
- Only problem I can see with this is that the show is virtually hated in Japan (it has something to do with their portrayal of Asian culture).
- [citation needed] for that. Actually, Bryan Konietzko (Avatar co-creator) on his tumblr said "that Books 1 & 2 of Avatar were officially dubbed in Japanese, but then the Nick Japan network was closed and they were never broadcast," and that knknknk was a Japanese Avatar fan.
"So it seems that at least one person in Japan has seen Avatar. That’s a start!"
- To be fair, this show, like a lot of Western animations, is not as popular in Asia in general given that fewer people have seen it or even heard of it. Most are, however, more familiar with the live-action movie, and we all know how well that went out. With that said, there is still devoted Asian fanbase for the show, cuz face it, ATLA is pretty good in terms of a Western animation as portrayal of Asian culture. You try something like Jackie Chan's Adventure and quite a lot of other shows that have this cliche portray of an overly stuffed stereotype token Asian episode, ATLA was really a welcoming fresh air.
A Car will be used to crash into the Equalists' headquarters.
Come on, using a car to crash into it would be awesome, and I'd assume the Equalists/Chi Blockers have little defenses against a speeding vehicle.
Amon is Rodger Smith, and is related to Mako, Bolin, and Lightning Bolt Zolt in some way.
Amon is voiced by Steve Blum and has blueprints for a Giant Mecha. Also, Rodger Smith is obviously Batman/Bruce Wayne, just like Amon and Mako are. Finally, Mako and Zolt have a very similar appearance to Rodger. Coincidence?
...Most likely.
Amon is the other Roger Smith, because why not?
Roger DOES like wearing disguises and being a sociopath.
Hiroshi Sato is an ancestor of Hoshi Sato from Star Trek: Enterprise.
They have similar names.
It isn't a firebender going around and killing everyone's parents...
...it's actually a non-bender with a flame-thrower.
Amon is Zero.
When Amon takes away a bender's bending he's actually placing a Geass on them.
- And The Lieutenant was the person he made a contract with. That is how he survived all those injuries from falling from the Pro-bending stadium roof to being shocked; he's immortal. Does that mean his real name is A.A.?
Amon is secretly setting up for the Holy Grail War!
And he's going to summon Sokka as Saber!!
The three Councilmembers apart from Tarrlok and Tenzin are hopelessly senile.
They're lucky if they can remember the topic at hand by the time it's time for a vote. Tarrlok just moves their hands up with some Bloodbending at the right moment, and they just assume that they meant to do that.
Tarrlok is a Time Lord.
Because every WMG page needs this.
Asami is a Time Lord. She used to be Azula.
Ya know, because yeah. She probably forgot how to firebend.
The book Jinora read about a heroine riding a dragon into battle and burning down a country was A Dream of Spring.
In the end...
Mako and Asami will break up somewhere in season two and the rest of the time he and Korra will be Twice Shy. Mako and Korra will finally confess their love and get together a few episodes before the final battle and they will share a night of passion before the battle. In said battle, Mako will be killed in saving Bolin or someone and Korra tries her best to save him but fails, leaving her heartbroken. After Mako's funeral, Bolin and Asami get together and Korra is found to be pregnant with Mako's child.
A time skip of about seven or eight years will reveal that RC has achieved the dream Aang had for it. It is a peaceful place and the streets are safe and gang-free. Amon, Tarrlok, the Equalists and that annoying protester are all gone, benders and non-benders are friends again and Bolin and Asami have married and had kids. Korra, who is still living at Air Temple Island with Tenzin and his family, never married, remaining faithful to Mako even after his death. She has not only lived up to Aang's legacy as the Avatar, but she also the proud mother of opposite-gender-twins who look and act just like their respective parents (A feisty waterbending daughter who looks like Korra and a calm firebending son who looks like Mako) and spend the better part of their time bickering. The boy cherishes his red scarf just as his father did.
This is only here because it is unlikely to happen on the show seeing how young Korra still is. If anyone would like to make this into a fic, they have my permission.
The Legend of Korra is paralleling Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
The first season is twelve episodes long, frequently outdoes itself with Wham! Episode after Wham! Episode, the center protagonist is a female with the potential to change things, and the main villain focus is someone with a mostly white and red face that is frozen. All it needs is for Asami to make a contract with him and have the city wiped out.
