"The Legend of Korra" is almost over- currently, the spin-off of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is airing its fourth and final season (although in the Avatar-verse, seasons are referred to as "Books").
And to celebrate the ending of this cult hit series, the fans are getting something special together. According to KpopStarz, there will be a special celebration at the upcoming New York Comic-Con (which begins October 9, and ends October 12). Avatar Legends, a fan site headed up by "Korra" fan Andrew Martin, is putting together a special gift to present to the "Korra" creators at the convention, about how the series has impacted those who watched it.
According to KpopStarz, the gift will be titled "Book 5: Fandom," and will contain "thank-you notes (text or video), fanart, fanvids, graphics, cosplay photos, or anything else that might be relevant to the mission."
More info about the gift can be found on the official Avatar Legends page.
"Book 5: Fandom is a collective gift to Bryke from the fans of Avatar: the Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, to be presented in person at New York Comic Con 2014. Send in your letters and/or other work(s) via tumblr submit or email it to book5fandom@yahoo.com to have it included in our physical and digital scrapbooks. The deadline has been extended an extra day to 11:59pm Eastern on Wednesday, October 8th. For more information check out our blog page with a newly added FAQ, and feel free to ask any questions about the project."
And as the final "Korra" season continues on, a big surprise awaits the fans themselves- according to Hypable, the season premiere included a three-year time jump that no one saw coming.
Except, obviously, the creators behind Korra. KpopStarz has quotes from a recent interview with two creators, about their reasoning behind the three-year jump.
"There's a certain reason for [the time jump]," said Michael DiMartino. "We wanted to have all these pieces in place without taking all this time to get those [in place]."
"It's all story-based," added Bryan Konietzko. "It's not like we don't want to explain it. It's just that to get where we need to get for the story to happen, it needs to be three years later."
