The fact she was a heroine probably crossed a wire in my brain (the wire that makes me imagine each hero's secret identity is its creator, heroing in the creator's hometown).<br /><br />My dream is that this series of posts brings all those creators together.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-77776651724702015852012-11-01T18:26:02.662-03:002012-11-01T18:26:02.662-03:00PAUL Pereira, not Paula Pereira.

It'...Well, then, watch the cartoon if you can.<br /><br />It's good.<br /><br />And the sequel, Korra? <br /><br />It's set in a fantasy version of the 20s, with fast talking radio announcers, cool cars, and social unrest. Nice change from the medieval stasis that's the norm in fantasy worlds.<br /><br />And it has JK Simmons and Kiernan Shipka.chiasaur11https://www.blogger.com/profile/14848393618682533604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-17450658209988642032012-08-17T14:51:11.535-03:002012-08-17T14:51:11.535-03:00That was my second thought, and it makes more sens...That was my second thought, and it makes more sense with the elemental thing.

For shame, Siskoid.
It&...The James Cameron movie?<br /><br />For shame, Siskoid.<br /><br />It's a reference to Avatar: The Last Airbender (and the sequel series, The Legend of Korra), one of the best cartoons of recent years.<br /><br />There was also a movie, but that sucked. A lot.<br /><br />Asian influenced fantasy world. Some people have the natural ability to remotely manipulate one of the four classic elements, but only the Avatar, the reincarnating champion of the world, can use all four. Which makes the Avatar going missing for a century while the fire nation goes on a murderous rampage kinda a bad thing. Series starts when the protagonists find the latest Avatar frozen solid and thaw him out.<br /><br />Where they find out he's an impulsive, easygoing ten year old who doesn't even want to be the Avatar. Not the most promising start to a plan to fight the most powerful empire in the world.<br /><br />It may be the only show I've watched where one of the biggest badasses is a sheltered little blind girl.chiasaur11https://www.blogger.com/profile/14848393618682533604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-29856972252902913732012-08-17T07:15:26.904-03:002012-08-17T07:15:26.904-03:00If that's a reference to the James Cameron mov...If that's a reference to the James Cameron movie, you'll have to excuse me for not seeing it/getting it.Siskoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266365376486695812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37940560.post-77834468298325575252012-08-17T00:18:32.486-03:002012-08-17T00:18:32.486-03:00The Avatar?
