  What, Steve, ANOTHER post about the sequel to cartoon series
  <strong
    >Avatar: The Last Airbender<\/strong>? Why would you do such a thing?<\/p>\n
    <p>
      Well, because given <A
      href=\"http:\/\/www.badreputation.org.uk\/2011\/01\/11\/avatar-%E2%80%93-no-the-other-one\/\"
      \/>how good the original was<\/a>, the <a
      href=\"http:\/\/www.badreputation.org.uk\/2011\/03\/24\/avatar-the-legend-of-korra-gets-badass-on-gender-expectations\/\">sequel<\/a>
      might just be the
      <em
        >Most Feminist Thing On Your TV<\/em> when it comes out next
        year.<\/p>\n
        <p>
          Also several of team BadRep are raving fans already, so you&#8217;ll
          just have to put up with us jumping up and down every time they
          release new material. <A
          href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jmsT63BgFPw\">Which is
          exactly what happened when we saw this trailer<\/a>, which just
          premiered at San Diego Comic Con! <\/p>\n

          Produced by Nickelodeon,
          <strong
            >Avatar: The Legend of Korra<\/strong> is a show with the female
            lead character in the title. This is actually incredibly important,
            and of course vanishingly rare in a series which then goes on to be
            mostly about fighting, growing up, choosing your own path, and not
            pre-packaged &#8216;girl content&#8217; that some networks assume
            must follow from a female name on the poster. Korra is the Chosen
            One, not the sidekick, doing real-world martial-arts, with added
            fire. Buffy can claim to have done it, maybe Max in Dark Angel, but
            we&#8217;re still looking back for only a handful of shows in the
            past 20 years. <\/p>\n
            <p>
              As for the trailer, we love that she&#8217;s the star, but a lot
              of our current excitement is based on how fair and equal the
              previous show was, while still remaining incredibly exciting and
              not at all preachy. If you don&#8217;t understand why the shots of
              statues and cities are AWESOME and IMPORTANT then that&#8217;s
              because you need to go and watch it!<\/p>\n
            </p>
            <p>
              We will update you when more
              <strong
                >Avatar: The Legend of Korra<\/strong> material shows up.
                (We&#8217;ll have to, because it&#8217;s the only way to get at
                least three of us to shut up about it.)<\/p>\n<div
