As you are all probably aware New York Comic Con is coming up in just over a week, Korra is going to have a panel there on Saturday October 12th at 11am for 1 hour. We knew from a few weeks ago that we would have some exclusive stuff from upcoming episodes, but now we know more details. Source
First up we have the NYCC Korra poster that I assume will be for sale
[caption id="attachment_8135" align="aligncenter" width="630"] Could that be, The Avatar Spirit itself???[/caption]
I will talk more about this poster later, but for now I will move on to the other piece of news.
A new episode of Korra will be screened during the panel, now if the schedule stays as it is then The Sting will have just aired the night before this panel, so I would assume that this means they will be showing K207 Beginnings Part 1, 6 days ahead of the TV premiere. The other features of the panel include Bryan, Joachim Dos Santos, Janet Varney, PJ Byrne, fan Q and A and never before seen artwork.
So this looks to be a very impressive panel, which is great as NYCC has not had an Avatar panel in years. We will do our best here to cover all information revealed during this panel.
Now back to that poster. Wow, first of all, it is a lovely image, but what is that spirit thing in the back?
I really think that it is the Avatar Spirit itself. Yes, the almost legendary Avatar Spirit, mentioned only a few times in the show, but THE key feature of the Avatar. It is what links all Avatars, they have all had this spirit inside them. So this image would make so much sense, the current Avatar and the First Avatar enveloped by the Avatar Spirit. Also if you go back and look at the statue from K202 you will see that the shape of the thing behind the person is the exact same as this spirit/thing here.
Thoughts?
