The Panel:Co-creator/executive producer Bryan Konietzko, co-executive producer Joaquim dos Santos, Janet Varney (Korra), PJ Byrne (Bolin), Steve Yeun (Wan)
Footage screened:After introducing the cast and special guest Yeun ofThe Walking Dead, Konietzko screened the first half of the upcoming one-hour episode, Beginnings Part 1, ahead of its Oct. 18 air date and starts off where the last episode left off. Fire Sages whisk an injured, amnesiac Korra off the shore. She mumbles the name Rava over and over again before a Fire Sage elder starts to heal her using fire. Within herself, Korra struggles to connect her physical and spiritual sides.
Snap judgment:If you thought the animation ofAvatarand Korra is beautiful, then prepare yourself for the epic artistry in Beginnings Part 1. Inspired by Chinese ink wash and Japanese woodblock, the art of Wan’s time period suggest the mythical vibe the creators envisioned for their story.
