Hey youtubers it’s Charlie and recently some Book 4 footage aired during a tv trailer
for book 3.
There are a couple of reasons why I think it’s legit.
Mostly because a similar thing happened before book 3 where an international trailer for
book 2 feature book 3 footage.
So same drill and it gives us a good idea for who the villain might be.
We also got a release date and details on the extras for the book 3 dvd.
If you’re just finding me for the first time yes Korra book 3 is over, but I’ll
be doing bonus videos until book 4 gets here and I’ll also be doing videos for star wars
rebels in october when it gets here.
So subscribe to get everything.
So important stuff first, Kuvira and the Book 4 footage.
We all knew something was up with her.
Nobody gets that much screen time in the finale without being important.
The trailer the footage appeared in wasn’t an official book 4 trailer.
It was a book 3 trailer for nicktoons.
Weird, I know.
But it included scenes of Kuvira with a very evil look on her face addressing what looks
to be a Red Lotus council.
This suggests a lot about what the time frame and plot of Book 4 is going to be.
A continuation of Zaheer’s plot to throw the world into chaos.
We don’t have any confirmation on what Kuvira’s backstory is but there are some interesting
theories.
She resembles Zaheer and Suyin Beifong so the best theory I’ve seen so far was that
she’s their love child and was raised in the doctrine of the red lotus.
The timelines are a little fuzzy but here’s what we know.
The Red Lotus was formed after the 100 year war by Xai Bau after he got pissed that they
White Lotus was turned into what he saw as glorified servants of the Avatar.
Xai Bau grove in the spirit world is the place where Korra confronted Zaheer.
So I’m guessing the grove was a place where Xai Bau would communicate with his fellow
red lotus members or meditate by himself and Zaheer just continued the tradition.
Using the spirit realm to skype each other is pretty badass.
Eventually, Team Zaheer and Unalaq are brought in to the order.
Probably around the time they were Korra’s age.
Cut to 13 years ago, Zaheer and company are captured trying to kidnap korra.
Now that we know what Zaheer’s plan was, doesn’t it sound so much more sinister.
They would have probably done that same thing with her when she was a little girl.
That’s just dark, even for Legend of Korra.
It seems like Korra and Kuvira aren’t too far apart in age, so it’s possible that
shortly after becoming part of the Red Lotus, Zaheer and Suyin met and eventually had a
child.
Or Kuvira could be the child of other red lotus members.
Either way, if she’s part of it.
It means they’ve recruited a lot of other people too in the last 13 years.
There’s a lot of contradictory evidence for the Suyin Zaheer Red Lotus Love Child
theory, but since Suyin shares a lot of the anti-establishment beliefs zaheer talked about
it’s possible she was at one time associated with him but she didn’t become part of the
red lotus.
If she were a full on red lotus member she probably would have let korra die.
There’s also the possibility that Kuvira has absolutely no ties to anyone on Team Korra
or the Red Lotus, she’s a completely new character who’s not trying to avenge some
old family wound.
It also doesn’t guarantee that she’s the big villain either.
She could just be working with someone greater.
A more classic villain.
There’s still a lot we don’t know about Book 4’s story.
I’m hoping that Bryke reveals some new details at New York Comic Con in october.
They’re doing a korra panel, so if you’re going I recommend you sit in on the panel.
They’ll probably reveal some key art animation and they might reveal the official book 4
premiere date.
Right now the Australian book 4 premiere is listed as January.
That doesn’t guarantee it will be January in North America or anywhere else in the world.
Book 3 is only just starting to air in Australia in October.
And during a recent interview, Bryke revealed that the whole summer korra premiere this
year was totally unplanned.
But until we hear otherwise, plan for a January Book 4 premiere.
Regardless of when, they’ll be posting episodes digitally in all the same places, on nick
dot com, amazon, the google play store.
Everywhere but itunes for some strange reason.
Book 4 will not air on television.
The next big thing is the book 3 dvd.
It’s out December 2nd in the United States.
Not sure for an international date.
But probably not super long after that.
The bonus features are pretty similar to the book 2 dvd.
There’s audio commentaries for all 13 episodes and 13 animatics on the Blu Ray.
The DVD version only has 4 commentaries and all the animatics.
So the difference in the Blu Ray and the DVD is you get fewer commentaries.
I’ll probably give a few copies away so be sure to subscribe to get all my korra videos
this fall.
And just to explain the Rebels stuff.
Rebels will be the new animated show I do videos for.
I’ll be posting another big video for that in the next week or two.
So look out for it.
But that show is airing on Disney XD monday nights.
The premiere isn’t till October 13th, but on the 3rd they’re doing a one hour special.
I’ll explain more in a rebels bonus video.
But Disney is creating a Star Wars Cinematic Universe just like Marvel has, so the tv shows
and the books and the comics will all influence what happens in the movies.
So
watching Rebels will help you understand what’s going on in Episode 7.
Dave Filoni is in charge of everything on the show.
He did Clone Wars and he used to be an animation director for Mike and Bryan during the Avatar
Last Airbender days.

Rebels.
Thanks for watching, see you guys tomorrow.
High Fives!
