Interview With Creators On Korra.

[ravenous215]

The Wall Street Journal Recently got an Interview with The Avatar Creators.

The Wall Street Journal: How did you come up with the idea for the spinoff?

Bryan Konietzko: When Mike and I first created “Avatar: The Last Airbender” we always knew it would have an ending to it, that particular story. But as the show really took off, and found an audience all over the world, we knew that despite our intentions of ending that story there would probably be a time when Nickelodeon would come calling and want some more episodes….When that time came we had this idea for jumping ahead and telling a story about the next Avatar, this girl Korra.

You should probably put a cut tag on this, since some of this is minorly spoilery and you know how people get.

And frankly I'd be more comfortable if you put just a quote from the story and provided a link to the rest. It's copyright infringing to take the entire text from another site (even though people do it all the time).

Oh, god, why can't we CLONE THEM so they can make MORE SHOWS and MOVIES that are AWESOME?!

What did you guys think of the live-action version of “The Last Airbender”?

Konietzko: We’re just really focused on this new show right now, and kind of taking this off in its own direction and not concerning ourselves with that right now.

So you didn’t follow the casting controversy about the movie version of “The Last Airbender”?

Konietzko: We didn’t head up that film. We’re just happy to be back generating the original content in this mythology, which is what we do.

lol smooth dodge there, guys. The only way they could be more blunt is by saying "Look, that shit is not our fault."
