You can get a good look at Aang, Katara, Sokka, Zuko, Iroh, and Yue in Trailer #2 (and can I say how big of a fan I am of the firebender armor?)
however, if you want a peek at Appa, check out the Big Game TV Spot. It's literally about 2 seconds, but if you look carefully, he's in the top left corner at 00:09.
points of interest from the two newest trailers:
- HOLY SHIT IT'S APPA! spot on!
-Sokka and Katara look better than I expected. Also, the fairly legit-looking Inuit outerwear is a plus. (anyone who cries about their coats not being blue is getting a punch in the face).
I mean, look at her. LOOK AT HER. I don't even LIKE Katara as a character and I'm stoked.
- IROH! definitely the biggest design change. I'm not sure how I feel about the dreads. Zuko, on the other hand, looks pretty good. I'm glad they decided to take the facial scar down a notch so as not to risk him looking like a juvenile Bond villain. I'm hoping that they kept his season 3 hair in an attempt for consistency (although if it doesn't change every 5-10 episodes, what will the Ember Island Players make fun of him for?). So far, the Fire Nation is looking pretty good.
I mean, look at the Dragon of the West, doing his stuff in what I'm assuming is the Spirit Oasis at the North Pole. It's difficult NOT to be happy with that. And whoever that is on the left appears to be in Fire Nation attire, and if you look very closely, has sideburns. Zhao? I hope so!
-YUE. Damn. As a character, I found her to be a somewhat boring little MacGuffin, but her design was always great. I'm happy to see her translate well to live action.
Yes, M. Knight Shamalamadingdong is still directing it, but I have to say, I'm impressed thus far, and the killing blow to his films has always been the shit writing, not the directing. Ignoring the trademark poorly-planned twist endings, everything he's made thus far has been pretty visually interesting. Also, the original creators of the show are still attached to it as executive producers, so I'm hoping they managed to keep his screenplay in line. I'm going to go with 'cautious optimism' on this one.
