In the excitement leading up to the finale, I neglected to post a bit of news on the Avatar movie. The movie, to be entitled “The Last Airbender”, is set for release on July 2, 2010. Mike DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, the creators of Avatar, are going to serve as executive producers for the film. An article can be found about the movie here, and information on who exactly is involved in the movie is available here.

 Well, to get to some old news I’ve been too lazy to post for a while, the Book 3 Boxset (whose awesome cover art can be seen on the left) well hit the shelves on September 16th. Any special features it may contain are as of yet unknown, but a full write up can be viewed here, along with a picture of the disks inside. An interesting thing to note is that there are 5 disks, indicating that one will be comprised of special features.
In other news, I got an e-mail from the folks at Nickelodeon Magazine earlier today, and they want the fandom to know that the magazine will now be available online here. Apparently, they’re going to start posting new comics every week. So go to the website, wait for it to load, click on the picture of Aang toward the top right corner of all the pictures, and you can view all of the comics available to date on the right sidebar.

 As many of you know, the book 3 volume 3 DVD was released today! Please make sure to buy a copy to support avatar! Mike and Brian have done loads of work on the show, so we can at least repay them by just buying a DVD to support avatar. The DVD has 4 un-aired episodes (for those who do not live in Canada) and bonus features such as commentary. I will assure you I will be buying the DVD, even though I live in the UK.
Thanks to all those who have been patient and not watched the episodes illegally online, and thanks for the people supporting avatar.

Newsarama has posted a review of the next Avatar DVD, due to be released on May 6th. Although a good portion of the review is dedicated to Day of Black Sun, there is also quite a bit about The Western Air Temple, The Firebending Masters, and both parts of The Boiling Rock, episodes that have yet to be aired in the U.S. Obviously, that means major spoilers. Click the below link to read just the spoilers, or click here to access the full article.
Click here to show or hide the spoilers:
“Without giving too much away, what’s important here is it establishes a bond between Sokka and Zuko. The overall plot is the two breaking into the Fire Kingdom’s ultimate prison with the intention of liberating Sokka and Katara’s father. This time, the prison itself is as much a character in the overall plot. This is one case where one wishes DiMartino and Konietzko did provide a commentary track. I would have loved to have heard how they thought this one up.
More important is what Sokka and Zuko find awaiting them once they’re inside. These two episodes are loaded with incredible plot twists and surprises, but all fit seamlessly into the overall story. My favorite though is the final confrontation between Sokka and Zuko against Azula, Ty Lee and Mai. It pulls off one final rug out from under us viewers, one that if we thought the entire thing through, should have seen it coming.
The final opinion is when push comes to shove, “Boiling Rock” has to be the best written and executed episodes of this series, at least so far. It’s an incredible study in character development and maturing for the two primary boys.
In fact, if one has to make one interesting comment about this disk, it’s really more about Zuko than any other character here, even Aang. In “Western Air Temple” Basco has a fairly long monologue with himself that is another standout performance. By the time he is done, one realizes he’s finally starting to enter the terrain previously only occupied by Iroh, even if he still has a ways to go.”
…
“Western Air Temple” is about the Gaang and Zuko coming to terms to each other. Personally, I found it the weakest of these four new episodes. Not that it is a bad episode. More so I found it just a bit too pat. I mean c’mon Avatar fans, we all just KNEW Zuko was going to end up being Aang’s teacher, especially after Azula was introduced. The way the various kids react to Zuko is also highly predictable, although how he finally wins them over has its moments.
On the other hand, what truly is outstanding is Konietzko’s art design. The Temple itself is admittedly one of the best bits of background work the man has ever done. It’s a site that if it was designed by MC Escher, the great artist would have called it one of his masterworks.
Still, if we didn’t have “Western Air Temple,” it would have made the next episode, “Firebending Masters” rather clumsy to execute. It kicks off with a small twist, that Zuko’s fire bending ability was triggered by the years upon years of rage that had built up in him throughout his life. With his finally being accepted by the Gaang, the rage level drops to virtually nothing and his ability with it.
This sends Aang and Zuko on a one episode quest to meet the original fire benders, a race that is rumored to be extinct. As forumites know all too well, that certainly isn’t the case. More important, it introduces an interesting twist that harkens back to the wisdom of Zuko’s Uncle Iroh. Long term, I found this episode exceedingly satisfying because of DiMartino’s ability to weave in the unexpected in a truly logical way. We have always accepted Iroh as much wiser than he makes himself out to be. With this episode, his wisdom borders on being truly enlightened, as an action he performed way before the kids were born has long term effects even in the present.”
Once again, the full article can be accessed here.
