Legend of Korra did pretty well it got a full season more than the original and honestly that's been the life span of most cartoons as of late.

 

Korra had a pre-existing canon to go by. Nick didn't have anything to risk with it since Avatar did so well before it.

The life span was expected but considering how much praise it got, especially from progressives due to it's openly gay protagonist, it could have gone further. Some say that's why the show ended, Nick didn't want to mess with conservative fans. Dark skin, bisexual, female, tomboy protagonist just screams "liberal agenda" to conservatives.

 

She was gay? Totally missed that one. Agree with the other though. Story wise it didn't really live up to the original.

 

Note how the conversation is focused primarily on animated shows, live action series and movies, rather than actual comics. You know why? Because those are the primary ways Marvel & DC have been getting a new generation of fans interested in their characters due to their making the mistake of catering to the strictly adult nerds on the actual comic side for the last 25+ years.


The result comics wise is what is going on now trying to appeal to minorities and women because the adult and mostly white male fanbase will eventually die off. Comics being a business, have to get that new/younger fanbase to replace that old fanbase.

 

DC To Revive WildStorm Imprint

October 2016

Warren Ellis will return to DC, to work on some of the characters that made him a household name among comic book fans, as the curator of a new pop-up imprint called WildStorm.

Following on the heels of the success of Gerard Way's Young Animal imprint, WildStorm will take a similar approach, with Ellis writing the "main" book and curating the others.

WildStorm will debut mid-February 2017 with a regular monthly comic titled The Wild Storm, written by Ellis with art by Jon Davis-Hunt (Vertigo’s Clean Room). This ongoing series will reset the known WildStorm universe and introduce new iterations of WildStorm characters such as Grifter, Voodoo, The Engineer, Jenny Sparks and others.

THE WILD STORM will serve as a launching pad for several future series: Michael Cray, WildC.A.T.S. and Zealot. No creative team announcements have yet been made for those books.

Sooooooooo Candice Patton in this pic....

 

Yep, you know how they act.

 

The original was

 

Anyone catch Sunday night's incredible battle scene on The Strain? Awesome!

She's all kinds of yum right there...

 

Korra wasn't "openly gay." She was only ever depicted as heterosexual throughout 99% of the show.

The producers added a (literally) last minute scene on the series finale, that implied that her friendship with the other girl had romantic underpinnings.

The "revelation" of her sexuality was abrupt and it smacked of pandering.

I do. I remember seeing Ultraman in the spring of 1978. It was the year when our.home first got cable television. Most of the channels were from Pennsylvania and New York. It was on channel WPHL channel 17 in Philadelphia. I remember coming home from school in time to catch Ultraman, Spectreman, Marine Boy and Speed Racer. We had HBO at the time.

Ultraman was one of Eiji Tsuburaya's greatest shows. His personal favorite show from his studio was Mighty Jack, an action-adventure show that was inspired by Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds show.

I have seen Ultraman fight and use his weapons, but I have never seen him kill like this.

 

Is that who the guy in the coma is on the show?
