Comics "Kya and the Secret of the Sand" - Comic Discussion Thread

38 Upvotes

FULL SPOILERS allowed in this thread. As a reminder spoilers for this comic outside this thread must be marked until a month after the book is released.

"Kya and the Secret of the Sand" is the second LoK 'one-shot graphic novel'*. The main story takes place years before the show following a young Kya. The comic releases July 28th mass market and July 29th in comic stores. It is written by Kiku Hughes with art by Alex Monik and colors by Diana Sousa, made in collaboration with Mike and Bryan.

Description:

While helping Korra recover in the Southern Water Tribe, Kya shares a story from her youth of a time when she was lost and disconnected from herself, far from home in the Si Wong Desert… Young and untested, Kya leaves her family to seek her purpose in the wider world. Hoping to test herself and help struggling communities, she heads to the Si Wong Desert, where scarce resources and fractured communities are making the fringes of the Earth Kingdom increasingly unstable. Kya, arriving in the community of Liyuan to teach healing and help the struggling community defend itself from bandits, finds that the wounds left from decades of conflict run deep, and may be harder to heal than she first thought.

Mod Announcement Last Airbender Movie Megathread 2: Spoiler Policy Clarification Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Although it's being effectively replaced by this one, here's the link to the previous Megathread, for reference's sake. This current thread was originally going to go up tomorrow, but since the movie will technically be releasing in limited theaters in NY & LA--in fact, I'm told the screenings have already started--it seems pertinent to do this today. Henceforth, discussion of the new animated movie, now confusingly titled "Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender" will be transitioning over to the regular spoiler policy (Rule 4). As a reminder:

In other words, anything that can only be learned by watching the movie must follow this policy until a month after its WORLDWIDE RELEASE, i.e. a month after it goes up on Paramount+ on July 25th (midnight PT/3 AM ET). If, for some reason, you can't see my screenshot, the rule is, of course, on the subreddit sidebar. Other information that was learned earlier, such as from trailers & press releases, was already fair game before today.

Given the rest of the subreddit is now open to spoiler-tagged discussion of the movie, this megathread, as opposed to Megathread 1, will be open to spoilers-unmarked movie discussion. In all cases, please note that discussion of the movie in this subreddit should relate in some way to Legend of Korra. The thread on the main subreddit also has answers to common specific questions. If you have questions specific to this subreddit, you can of course ask them here or, if you're concerned about encountering spoilers in the comments, by messaging modmail. That is all, thank you.

Discussion Kuvira could have had better writing in S3 that sets up for S4 and we don't just end up with subtle details about her.

Idk just a thought when I rewatched some of the eps of S3 yesterday. there's so much in S3 that could have been discussed about her like how she's absolutely left out of any dinner for example or how she's left out in any activities like that game the brothers invented. or oh she's not even in the family picture. Like we could have gotten more time with her. see how she rises in ranks, etc. and see why she actually has that hatred towards the family and get a glimpse and see how the kids if not Su treat her horribly. Though we got that in the comic of ruins of empire (though I have my own fair share of criticism with that one XD) but this would have been nice to see in the series itself. (We also see her in the news paper XD.)

Edit: and no I'm not hating on Kuvira xD. I'm just saying what I feel like could have been done better imo but I guess I'm still getting downvoted... xD.

How much destruction did Republic City must've been endure to realize how blind and stupid you were? like how far does someone have to go before you finally realize. i genuinely don't understand this man. love is one thing, but at some point you have to fucking wake up. And the fact that it took Kuvira threatening his own life for him to finally understand what everyone had been telling him the whole time... bro was in DEEP. At lest Zaheer didn't betrayed his own friends and family for P'li. They worked together .At lest Zaheer didn't betrayed his own friends and family for P'li. They worked together

Not a lot of information to specifically say when they were the Avatar, and for some not sure their gender or birth element. Thought it was safer to just mention their name, than to assume which statue they belong to.

Yeah, I guess I'm late to this but god, the more I watch both shows the more I connect stuff together.
but yeah no both are parent figures and i don't see him like Zuko that much more than he is to Katara xD. Both lost their parents by fire benders and also had to mature up quicker than others and both are grounded emotionally than some of the others.

Discussion Wan basically chose separation because he knew the world wasn't ready for coexistence yet.

Post image
33 Upvotes

This guy really carried the weight of a world that wasn't ready yet. Do you know what gets me about, him? Despite not having a canonical love interest, his story never really feels empty or like it needed one just to make his character interesting. He's basically just this guy who spent his entire life trying to help people, even when he had absolutely no idea what the hell he was doing and he still fights for humanity because they're still worth saving? Lmao. I know Korra eventually opens the portals again, but honestly? I don't think that automatically makes Wan's decision stupid. Nooo. Maybe the world actually needed that separation for a while. Humanity had spent generations treating the spirit world like something dangerous or something they could just take from. The spirits weren't exactly going to welcome humans with open arms either. you can't just throw both worlds back together and expect everyone to suddenly understand each other

Discussion What if Korras “destiny” wasn’t to be spiritual

Upvotes

Something that kinda bothers me on rewatches, is that the creators use Korra not being spiritual as a reason not to make Avatar State OP

But something I was recently thinking about - Tenzin wasn’t as spiritual as Jinora either. Maybe Korras biggest lesson after Book 4, is to learn from past lives/past mistakes

One of the first scenes in Book 3 is Korra trying to meditate and talk to a past life

But maybe Korras “destiny” wasn’t to be spiritual, maybe it was just to learn, and Korra can do that from Jinora (Aangs grandchild)

Kinda wraps up the series in a cute way

Discussion Since Senna is a confirmed water bender I love to imagine it wasn't only Katara healing Korra during her recovery but also Senna. Since we don't see her in combat she must be a healing specialist only.

Discussion Asami should have been the one Korra told about her Zaheer trauma

37 Upvotes

I know the producers were limited in some ways with how deep into the Korra/Asami romance they could go, but this to me is such an easy thing they could have done for it and they totally blew it.

I get they probably wanted Mako to do something, since Korra basically ghosted him for 3 years and the 2 weren’t really gonna have a moment together in the final season if not for this, but it would have gone a long way for their relationship if it had been Asami who Korra finally opened up to about the lingering trauma of her battle with Zaheer.

Or, if you really wanted it to be Mako, you could have structured the episode in a way where the B plot could be Asami finally reconnecting with her father and truly forgiving him. The 2 narratives of these women finally putting their past behind them and opening the door to a brighter future would have been an effective way to tie their paths together and set up the payoff at the end of the series.

I like Korrasami, I think there’s a clear chemistry between the characters and their personalities compliment each other very well. I just wish the show did more to show the romantic tension develop during the final season to make the final payoff better.

Discussion Peacekeepers is one of my favorite episodes.

6 Upvotes

Let's put aside what ships we prefer and focus if you please.

When it comes to Mako and Korra’s breakup, I can definitely accept that though they’re good for each other as friends, they aren’t as a romantic couple. This episode shows why and does so in a way that I can never hate as the situation is far more gray than "Korra's to blame" or "Mako's to blame."

On one hand, you have Korra who's trying to save her family and tribe with the help of the United Nations army even after the President's told her not to. It may not be a highly ethical decision but it would get results.

However, on the other hand, you have Mako who has a stable job as a police officer, something he'd never dream of being back in his youth as a homeless kind, and was directly asked by the President to tell him if Korra's getting "rash." If he's later found out as an accomplice, he'd be fired by Bei-fong before he knows it. Outing his girlfriend wasn't a very nice thing to do but in his position at that moment, I can't fully blame him.

It was honestly one of my favorite parts of the show where I couldn't call either side fully in the wrong or the right. It's like with Doctor Who or Torchwood where the protagonists often have to make tough decisions and neither one is a very happy one. Heck, Avatar: The Last Airbender tends to be full of these moments. I don’t think I need to remind people of the Book 2: Earth finale.

Discussion Toph was handled with justice in Book 4- Balance better than ATLA comic- The Rift

Post image
20 Upvotes

Note: This is from Zen POV, where Earth kingdom philosophy is based on (morso in metal clan), where all things are connected in their purest form in life to sustain harmony.

Before anyone asks, I'm aware Metal Police is a friendlier counterpart of Dai Li. Metal Police keep the peace in the city, but without brainwashing and harsh imprisonment. They only target hostile thugs who are harassing non-benders.

In The Rift comic, Toph is written as a mean-spirited, sassy teen who doesn't care about spirits. This is not Toph; Toph is a rebel who just wants to fit in.

In the original show, Toph learned metalbending by feeling the earth within the metal box with her seismic sense. The comic missed an arc about Toph realizing she could've held still and listened to others- even more emotional character development is hearing their heartbeats that the comic missed.

In the original show, Toph becomes resilient by becoming THE hardest stone by keeping her ground to protect others in need. The writers of the comic forgot to write a character making a compromise by creating boundaries to keep harmony intact and respect Aang's wishes.

The comic created unnecessary drama for Toph because ironicly as elderly she went to the swamp to hear everything. Her behavior in the comic contradicts her actual development in Korra.

Discussion I think Zaheer's flight is very underrated by those who criticize Korra for "losing" this fight. Like, look at the size of the tornado it took to catch this guy. And he still managed to resist this suction for a while, it's a lot of propulsion power.

It's a tornado made by a lot of airbenders and they look pretty tiny compared to the tornado. And considering they're looking for a specific target and this poke must have been very strong and yet he almost escaped. I'm going to be bold here and say that he has a propulsion force maybe comparable to the ozai with the comet sozin. Like, if they bet on a flight race, it would be close

0 Upvotes

I think he left the family because he found out about what happened with Suyin and Lin, he didn't like how his mother was lying to the family and making them think that Lin was a jerk, so he felt betrayed and it gave him more of a reason to help Kuvira

This whole exchange, even between the members of the elemental cycle of the Avatar (Water > Earth) seems to be key for the Seven Havens.

I also suspect that they correspond to the seven chakras:

https://avatar.fandom.com/wiki/Chakras

I don't know that Pavi will die, but I suspect that the cycle itself will come to an end, with the tribes being responsible of preserving the balance maintained by the Avatar.

Perhaps Pavi will die in the Avatar state. Who knows.
