Avatar: The Last Airbender
The story ofAvatar : The Last Airbenderends with a osculation , Aang & Katara at sundown , in the plaza beside the Jasmine Dragon . The Legend of Korra jumps straight forward by seven decennium , commence off with seventeen - twelvemonth - old Avatar Korra of the Southern Water Tribe . Many original fibre have vanished , but everyone from the first Team Avatar makes their show in some form or another .
Aang passes off at the ripe young years of sixty - six ( in part due to time spent encased in ice ) , but the man he has facilitate rebuild is stronger and more flaky than ever . Here are a few example of change that stand out the most .
The Gamification Of Bending
Without any real need for Bending as a soldierlike art and rising public demand to keep an eye on execution in a protect space , the mutation of Pro - Bendingbecomes an inevitable development . It includes Earthbending , Firebending , and Waterbending , and each squad has three players .
As long as one side succeeds in tossing their opponents out of the ring , triumph is theirs ( with a few complicated bylaws involved , of course of instruction . ) The play is so popular that thousands of people give good money for tickets to live matches every week .
A Telecommunications Renaissance
With the conclusion of the Hundred Year War , communications technology commence to advance , start with the wireless . All major news show events were covered by radio , including hot broadcast of crucial Pro - bending match . Further , portable versions allowed law of nature enforcement groups ( as well as criminal ones ) to switch over data with each other in existent - time .
Also , rather than sending avian messengers as they used to , telegraphy now became the primary manner of communication , lento bringing the world together through consistent selective information dissemination .
The Birth Of The Mafia
offence becomes intemperately organized , especially in Republic City , with several contend mathematical group coming into universe . They were mostly triads , know as such because the top brass consisted of three dons .
A few famous I have included the Triple Threat Triad , the Agni Kai Triad , the Red Monsoon Triad , the Terra Triad , and the Creeping Crystal Triad . Each organization has its own complex organisation of criminal activity , and rarely impinge on another ’s district ( the Turf Wars trilogy of graphic novels covers what happens when they do . )
The Invention Of The Automobile
No need for rhinoceros when there are motorcar uncommitted for private shipping , is there ? The auto in the story bears a striking resemblance to the democratic 1920s variants in the real man and speedily pushes public transit out of the equation . The original ones were power by petroleum ( implying that petroleum output and extraction was a common feature . )
Further , the billionaire Southern Water Tribe penis , Iknik Varrick , get along up with a railway system based on magnetic levitation , which revolutionized prospicient - aloofness transport .
Metalbending & The Police
The police force of Republic City was started by Toph Beifong , which makes no mother wit given her born hatred of rule . Still , the department was base onthe Earthbending subset of Metalbending , with many of its employees being highly adept at the fresh style ( learn by the creator , of course . )
In fact , the complicated task of law of nature enforcement has been made a little simple by instituting a form of hierarchy : there is a Police Chief , a squad of detectives , as well as lower - ranking officeholder . Outside the law military headquarters stands an tremendous metal cast bearing Toph ’s appearance , as a testimonial to her effort .
Photography & Cinema
The photographic camera was invented around two decades after the licking of Fire Lord Ozai , as there are pictures of Katara and Aang ’s very young children ( for setting , Tenzin was fifty - one years oldwhenThe Legend of Korrabegan . ) news program agencies also used camera to capture of the essence events like election , fights , or even paparazzi photos of unsuspicious famous person .
More importantly , the video camera was conceived around fifty years later , but the first feature film ever produced , The Adventures of Nuktuk : Hero of the South , unfortunately , stop overtone of apparently fake propaganda .
The Rise Of The Nonbenders
Aang and Zuko come together to create the United Republic of Nations , with the main destination of this new rural area being thatnon - benders and benders could peacefully coexist . However , it became apparent that those without flex natural endowment were " oppressed " by those with ( as the Triads principally consist of curve . )
This lead to the so - called Anti - Bending Revolution covered inBook One : Air , whose loss leader wasultimately exposed by Avatar Korra . However , this also led to a drastic modification in the political representation yield to non - benders , and the UNR Council was presently disband to make mode for a democratically elected President .
Electricity Generation & Transmission
leave candle and lantern , electrical energy is here to ride out . Although it is obscure how the concept was find , Republic city obtained most of its power take from plants instal around the periphery of its urban area . Rather than use water , coal , or nuclear sources of energy , the municipalityhired Firebenders to produce lightning , which is then temporarily accumulated in enormous batteries .
After enough great power had been get , it was transported to most neighborhoods via a electronic connection of cable television . worker were taken maintenance of , as well ( although they did burn out quite well from the outturn expected of them ) by being made to wear special clothing devised to protect them from any out of the blue complications .
An Urban Sprawl
The era of Ba Sing Se ended when the magnificently urban Republic City was reconstruct . It is a naturalistic cosmopolis , consist of advanced descriptor of architecture , transferral , and various other forms of technology .
The city also contained several important landmark , many of which are testimonial to iconic real - life history places like London ’s Hyde Park , the Eiffel Tower , as well as the Statue of Liberty ( depicted as Aangholding aloft an Airbending staff . ) Republic City has drawn aesthetic inspiration from city like Vancouver , Hong Kong , NYC , Shanghai , as well as Chicago .
Cabbage Capitalism
The artwork of making money is honed to perfection in Republic City , with several mega - corporations being created to serve the increasing demand for aggregated production . For instance , Hiroshi Sato ’s caller Future Industries seduce cars ( also know as Satomobiles for obvious reasons . )
One of his master competitors is Cabbage Corp , which is established by the infamously ill-fated lucre seller inAvatarand is presently under the control of Lau Gan - Lan , his son . Interestingly , the cabbage merchandiser has a statue dedicated all to himself , proudly framing the headquarters of Cabbage Corp.
