Interesting points from this one are

  • November 2009 was the start of the idea for Korra
  • Regarding the Books of Korra, Book 1 was always planned as 12 episodes, each book will be more of stand alone stories each with their own villains and resolutions, but there are overarching plots throughout.
  • In answer to the classic “What happened to Zuko’s mom” question, Mike had this to say ” I don’t have an answer for you at least not yet “, Yet being the key word they have said this in a few recent interviews, which highly suggests that something is coming where we will find out what happened.

So again worth a read in full, though a lot of the stuff you will already know.
