Korra Leaks: Opening, Clips of First Episode, Screenshots

[SMBH]

Avatar Aang accomplished many remarkable things in his life

I like that they tell us this in the opening, since there's been so many people assuming/complaining that Aang was probably just sitting on his thumbs and not helping Zuko work out his problems after the war.


Also, thanks for the direct comparison with the first episode opening, Endly. The parallels make me feel much better about the lack of mention of Korra in this one

Quick! What's the difference between Nickelodeon and a sieve?

No, really. What's the difference? Because it's become hard to tell.

Also. COOL BEANS.

One of them allows for leaks to happen, and the other is used for straining solids from liquids while cooking?

So how long will it take before the video is taken down?

Not sure, the uploader reversed the video and I hear that's a decent way to prevent YouTube bots from finding a vid. But at this point people have already downloaded the video and could easily put it back up.

Oh my god

Tears of joy, man, tears of JOY right now.

Plus, JK Simmons!

Sorry, dying from laughter over here.

Direct parallels only make me even more convinced this is legit.

I downloaded it. I doubt I'm the only one.

Also, TRANSCRIPTION: Ninja'd! Should've read closer.

YAY OPENING.  I'm actually kind of sad that it's released so early though, since things like this are the kind of small, infinitely tempting pieces of info that make us want the show like RIGHT NOW, and yet it's still so far off.  Wonderful, but painful.  

I love the parallels to the first show and opening: the four elements and bending, the map-zoom, and the sweep up over Aang's statue's head.  And the music and narration is so pretty.  ;A;

Also, I would love to see that drawing of the Gaang released as a poster or something...I would buy it in a heartbeat.  It almost made me cry, simply because I always loved speculating that people in the Avatar universe would create art and sculpture and whatnot to remember the Gaang by.  Not to mention that they'd get stories told about them.  D'awwww.

OMA, OMA, OMA, Oh my Avatar!

I cannot believe we have actual new footage!!!

It is official, Tenzin's voice is amazing, so deep and rich! Intro was way too short for my liking but the title of the first episode "welcome tot replubic City" assures me that we will dive right in to the action!

And the title said : Avatar; Legend of Korra!!!!! OMA, need I say more?

It's almost hard to believe that this deep manly man voice came from the offspring of our sweet little baby-faced Aang :3



Ok, the enthusiasm is contagious. I'm starting to come around and not feel as meh about the opening as I did a couple hours ago. That's why I love this fandom

JK Simmons is the perfect actor for this! im just so happy right now

I wonder if this is a one-off, extended opening. Like how in AtLA's first episode, Katara gives that long explanation of the Avatar vanishing and the war and how her father left two year prior.

As others have said, most likely. Especially due to the all the parallels between this and the original show's intro for the first episode.

[Archaes8]

OH...MY...GOD!!!  

This was awesome; although, Tenzin sounds a bit monotone in my opinion. It's also horrible that the clip would continue into the actual episode. As if they're trying to tease us.  

In any case, I'm totally hyped. Anyone think we'll get a pilot anytime soon?

Things I noticed after watching it six times:
How agile adult Aang is, it makes me look forward to seeing an adult airbender, There's something cool abbout seeing a really gaile adult compared to a kid
That Suki is included in the Gaang   and Sokka and Katara are wearing their season one outfits with a space swords, Toph is wearing her season two outfit and Zuko is season three, these clothes were never worn at the same time!  Oh well at least Zuko doesn't have his pony tail like he does in all the Nick marketing.  I'm not upset about it, it just seem,s weird.

While we draw parallels between the old intro and the new one.

Do you recall in the first episode intro how we dont get to see Aang.

but in all intros afterward we get to see him.

I think given all the time we look at Aangs statue. That Korra is going to stand heroic on it in the intros after this one.

Tenzin sounds a bit monotone in my opinion.

Wasn't it mentioned at SDCC that Tenzin's kind of a serious guy? If so, it makes sense that his voice has a bit of a monotone.

Lemme find the transcript.... Yup, here it is:

Mike: So Tenzin is like -- he's a very serious kind of guy but when his kids get all crazy on him he can be very funny. He's always trying to be the Zen master but he isn't so good at it sometimes, especially when he loses his patience with the kids and there's that so... he's been a very fun character to work on.

That would be fantastic, and it would make me actually like that weird city-to-statue-to-sky pan.

One more thing.. did I hear strings! They're beautiful.

[pyue]

TEARBENDING OMG Askfndsklgndskl

The art and music. I am seriously dying.
That first shot of Republic City is so beautiful.

But it says "Avatar: Legend of Korra"...
It must be a rough draft of the opening, since the episode title doesn't sound too final either.

Fair enough. It's good to know we'll see him goof around with his kids.

People knocked on the door asking why I was shrieking.

Worth it.

That's the best thing about it
