I like it so far. It still has that quirky funny moments that the original series has .It seems a little more serious, but it still has that avatar charm to it. The first episode already has me caring for these new characters. I just cant wait till the anonymous villain guys make an appearance. They seem so badass.
And yes, Tenzin, (Aang's son) interacting with Korra, (A reincarnation of Aang himself) is a little weird and hard to explain. That means Korra is technically Tenzin's father...or mother... I don't get it...

First episode was pretty fantastic. Looked amazing in HD. 'I'M THE AVATAR; YOU GOTTA DEAL WITH IT!'

Anyways, I'm a bit torn with the series. It started out so reminiscent of the first, then quickly turned into something radically different. It's not that it's bad, it's just so different... I'm thinking so far, I like the original series better, although this is definitely still amazing. The more modern spin they're giving everything just doesn't appeal to me as much. Not that it's not interesting; seeing how all this stuff works in the Avatar world is interesting. Just different.
On that note, how is it that all this technology developed so quickly? In the course of 100 years between Aang being frozen and being thawed out, technology remained nearly constant, and yet in the next 70 years or so, it's grown exponentially.

Besides, we have no idea what the more neutral areas of the world were doing at this point. It wouldn't be too deus ex machina to assume that there were some areas of the world that we didn't see during our journeys through Airbender, right?

Peace and Cooperation also brought about a lot of the change. While war promotes the advance of technology (which it did with the war balloons and tanks- which weren't around before the 100 year gap), it only enhances war machines and cryptography. When people cooperated and combined the strengths of the elements and bending started being used as a tool, it made technology boom.
Or you could explain it as a fantasy convention. Magic and its many variants typically bring about a faster advance of technology. Take Fullmetal Alchemist for instance: automail exists there even though its equivalent hasn't been invented in our world.

Have they already released more than just the first two episodes, though? I looked at the TV Tropes page on it before watching the show, and realized that it was getting into details that weren't on TV. For example, they claim that somebody's going to get the idea of using electricity on the metalbending police because they use metal cords to tie up criminals. That wasn't on the show at all.

They showed something kinda like that on the commercial after the premier, I think. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if a few episodes had been leaking onto the internet.
Interesting trivia: Korra was originally going to be a guy, but they genderflipped her early in preproduction. This explains why she isn't defined by any femininity whatsoever- like most action girls.
I dunno, I'm chalking it more up to her personality. Not all girls have to be girly, ya know. Remember Kyoshi? She doesn't exactly strike me as a very feminine woman.

On the other hand, Katara was a pretty awesome action girl herself, and she had her girly moments.
Toph wasn't feminine except in one filler episode (Toph was also originally going to be male).
Suki isn't very girly either.
Probably the girliest of all the action girls was Ty Lee.
Man! The Avatar world has the best action girls of any other series.

I'm beggining to love this show more and more each episode. I also love the hole idea of the anti bending group that is the equalist. So many mysteries lie in this semi secret society...
