Consisting of twelve episodes called 'chapters' , it was initially intended to be a stand-alone miniseries before the series was expanded to four seasons 'books' and fifty-two episodes 'chapters' total. Book One: Air follows seventeen-year-old Korra from the Southern Water Tribe, and the successor of Avatar Aang from the preceding series Avatar: The Last Airbender , as she travels to the metropolis of Republic City to learn airbending and faces an anti-bender revolutionary group, the 'Equalists', led by the masked Amon.
Before the series premiered on television, it was announced that the first two episodes would be pre-released online if 'Korra Nation', an online social-networking platform for the show, reached , likes and shares.
The goal was reached and at midnight on March 24, the first two episodes were released on a Viacom-owned website. They remained online for the duration of the weekend.
For U. Nicktoons re-aired Book One , with a few minutes of commentary from the series's creators during commercial breaks, from July 9 to July 20, , under the name Korra: Making of a Legend. The series opens introducing Korra as the Avatar and showing that she has mastered all elemental arts except airbending.
In the metropolis, Korra clashes with police chief Lin Beifong the daughter of Toph Beifong of the original series after dispensing vigilante justice to the local triads. Tarrlok, an ambitious member of the city's ruling council, enlists Korra against the 'Equalists', an anti-bender revolution led by the masked Amon.
The team is sponsored by Asami Sato, daughter of a wealthy industrialist, and the four together form the new 'Team Avatar'. After Korra's appearance in the city, the Equalists become increasingly violent, climaxing in an attack on the pro-bending arena. When Tarrlok indiscriminately represses non-benders, Korra refuses to support him. In the resulting fight, Tarrlok overpowers Korra with bloodbending, an illegal form of waterbending, and kidnaps her, framing the Equalists.
As Amon arrives at Tarrlok's hideout and removes Tarrlok's bending, Korra escapes, only to find Republic City facing an Equalist conquest. In the two-part finale, naval reinforcements led by Iroh the grandson of Zuko of the original series , are defeated by Equalist sea mines and biplanes. Amon strips Korra of her bending abilities; but Korra reveals her dormant airbending abilities in a moment of distress, and exposes Amon as a waterbender, causing all his followers to desert him.
He flees with Tarrlok, who detonates their boat on the open sea. Despondent, Korra establishes spiritual contact with her predecessor Aang, who restores her bending powers, allowing her to do the same to Amon's other victims. Elements of the first season that received praise were the exceptional quality of the animation, the background paintings [17] and the martial-arts action scenes, [18] as well as the series' innovative and engrossing visual design and style.
While Book One: Air was generally well received, some aspects of the writing were criticized by reviewers. In Kotaku , Kirk Hamilton wrote that he felt that the series failed to tackle its central conflicts in a meaningful way, commenting also on the mix of comedy and drama, the many character arcs in a shorter series than Avatar , and the neat ending. But in his opinion, the love triangle arc between Mako, Asami, and Korra fell flat and the pro-bending arc felt superfluous, although it led up to the conflict with Amon.
He also considered that Mako, although a major character, felt underwritten. Lauren Davis of io9 , while approving of the character arcs and the setting, was also disappointed about the series' pacing.
The initial airings of Book One: Air , excluding reruns and digital downloads, drew an average of 3. Edited by Dave Marshall and written by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the art book collects concept art, sketches, storyboards, background paintings, model sheets and other development art from Book One , together with the creators' and artists' comments on the development process.
Culture Mass praised the book as 'meticulously executed and impressively comprehensive'. It contains audio commentary from the creators, the cast and crew. Both versions are to contain, as a special feature, a comical interview with the series' characters in puppet form. The Blu-ray version comprises, additionally, audio commentaries for all episodes as well as the extra 'Series creators' Favorite Scenes: Eight Animatics'.
Book One: Air was adapted as two novels by Erica David, aimed at readers aged twelve and up. The novelizations were published by Random House in [31]. They jointly wrote the music for Avatar: The Last Airbender , but split their roles for The Legend of Korra : Zuckerman composed the music and Wynn was responsible for the sound design. Bryan Konietzko and Mike DiMartino's concept for the score was to blend traditional Chinese music with early jazz. On that basis, Zuckerman and Wynn composed a score combining elements of Dixieland, traditional Chinese music and Western orchestration, performed mainly by a string sextet and various Chinese solo instruments.
It features 26 instrumental tracks. He wished for the record to be commercially successful to convince Nickelodeon to release an Avatar: The Last Airbender soundtrack, a subject of many fan petitions. Used a better source this time round. No more interlacing problems and improved encoding settings used.
And are vampires actually real? Sure, "Stakeout" is a slow-paced movie, but it was done in a nice enough manner that it proved entertaining enough. It was the acting performances and the oddity of the entire plot that worked well in favor of the overall feel of the movie. I liked how it was made as a documentary, while it was actually a horror comedy. Sort of a spoof on all those God awful 'found-footage' movies out there. But give it a go if you enjoy oddball movies, because directors John Otteni and Paul Otteni actually managed to produce a fun and interesting geeky movie.
While "Stakeout" provided adequate entertainment for a single viewing, this is hardly a movie that I will revisit for a second time. Well, because the movie just doesn't have the contents or the entertainment value to support more than a single viewing. My rating of the horror comedy "Stakeout" lands on a five out of ten stars. Slow and boring. Time I'll never get back. This goes on and on with no point or story arc.
