if u never played this video more than once then ur lying
“If we had another season then there would be more stuff about Iroh’s past” - Ehasz wanted to write a two-part flashback episode about Iroh’s transformation into the person he is today. It would feature the siege of Ba Sing Se, Lu Ten’s death, and his travels around both the mortal and spirit world.
“Toph fixing her own issues” - Toph learns to heal from the emotional abuse she endured from her parents and repairs their relationship. She needed some character development when it came to mellowing out her harsh personality. Katara’s motherly influence helped her but Toph needed to deal with the direct cause. Ehasz loves Toph (he basically created her) and was upset that she remained so static throughout the series.
“I wanted to develop this subtle romance between two of the main characters but I don’t think Mike and Bryan would have been too happy about that.” - It’s pretty obvious what couple he is talking about with this line. Ehasz always wanted to make Zuko/Katara canon or at least develop it much more than what was shown in the actual series, but Bryke would fight with him about it. This was why the chance of Katara ending up with either Zuko or Aang was 50-50 even mid-way through the third season. Yes, this means the “Zuko was originally going to be the love interest for Katara” and “The writers and creators toyed with the idea of Zuko and Katara falling in love” Avatar Extras are completely true. The cancellation of the fourth season and Shyamalan’s complaints about how indecisive Bryke were about who Katara was going to end up with led the Nick execs to step in and push for Katara/Aang because that was what they concluded as being most suitable for young children. The resulting draft for the finale ended up with Katara/Aang and lot of people in the writing room were surprised since they believed Zuko/Katara was the better choice. Bryke wanted Katara and Aang to passionately kiss to symbolize a marriage and make them look “definite”. This is in contrast with Ehasz who just wanted a sweet scene near the end where Zuko and Katara talked about how much the world had changed to foreshadow a future between them.
I totally buy all of this: I actually met Ehasz two years ago. Let me preface this by saying I have the upmost respect for him, and he’s an awesome person.
I had the chonies to ask him what he thought about LoK and the ATLA comics. He was very kind in his criticisms, and pretty much said the same exact things you have mentioned above about ATLA. Its funny too how his honesty keeps dispelling all of the claims Bryke have made about various things.
Zutura is definitely a ship that invokes a lot of passion on both sides, but I honestly think if Ehasz were in charge of developing it further, it would have been executed quite nicely and really brought forth some interesting topics and themes during the hypothetical fourth season.
It really, really makes me wish Ehasz was involved in writing the comics. Can you imagine how improved they would be?
Hey, thanks for your input! I am a former Nicktern and I knew of this stuff for years. People tended to brush me off whenever I told them info about it because according to them “Bryke’s word is law”. The bitter Kataangers love to pounce on me for being ~delusional~ because Bryke is on their side. But they don’t seem to realize how dishonest they are and that Legend of Korra carries a huge collection of Bryke’s lies. Everything I say is just what I witnessed while working at Nick or a repeat of everything Ehasz has already said. Heck, Ehasz has told numerous people the same thing and even hosted a lecture at UCB about the Avatar stuff he didn’t get a chance to write about. I never liked Kataang but I didn’t ship Zutara until I heard about all the unexplored potential. Regardless of whatever ship would become canon, I definitely think the comics would have worked better if he was writing them. May I ask what Ehasz told you by the way? I never got to ask him exactly what he thought about LoK.
Oh dang, former intern? That must have been a pretty cool experience. My other fandom is LoZ and I’m dead serious when I say I’d give an arm and a leg to be involved in making a LoZ game. I love ATLA though just as much.
Something I noticed about this fandom is that when people disagree with you, they tend to pounce on you and shriek that their ship/character is better and that you are wrong. Problem is, instead of having a healthy debate that could be constructive, it involves name calling and no evidence. I’m a firm believer that you should ship what you want and like the characters you want to like, and not be ridiculed for it. Disagree, but don’t put others down.
Ehasz and I mostly talked (and when I say talked, like 5 minutes max) about the comics and ATLA, but he did talk a little about LoK. The thing he stressed was about his vision being ‘different than Bryke’s,’ and stated what he would have done differently. His approach to criticism is clearly different than Bryke’s, and it actually mirrors the way they write. Bryke is more in your face and telling, whereas Ehasz is more subtle and showing. Bryke gets defensive over criticism and makes excuses, Ehasz accepts criticism and says what he could have done differently; its a fixed versus a growth mindset.
But anyways, here’s a summary of what he told me. Sadly, I met him before the Book 4 premiere, so I couldn’t tell you his thoughts on Korrasami. I would imagine though, given the way he handles relationships, it wouldn’t have been favorable. This is what I recall about Lok:
Thought overall they did a good job, but didn’t agree with all of their choices. Would have preferred a post-ATLA series featuring the Gaang, and if allowed to do both, do the post-ATLA before LoK. This way, it would bridge the gap better and fill in loose gaps (see below).
Was a little surprised by the way Aang’s adulthood was portrayed, and would have changed his characterization a bit. Was also surprised by the lack of Sokka and would have increased his role. Would give readers some information on side characters such as Mai, Suki, etc., and what happened to them. But that’s also due to his ideas for the comics.
Liked Korra’s character, but would have handled the romantic relationships differently. Specifically referenced the love triangle and wouldn’t do that. Wasn’t sure he would permanently keep the Spirit Portals opened. Also liked the equalist movement and would do more with that. Red Lotus was cool but surprised by air bending abilities due to HC. Was interested at the time to see more of Kuvira.
Mentioned that ship Bryke doesn’t care for, and would have explored this relationship in both post-ATLA and LoK, and potential consequences such as political stuff. We had a good laugh about that one. Giving more info and exploration about post-war Fire Nation was what he hoped Book 4 would do.
Asked about his thoughts on Toph’s portrayal (I don’t hold back, heh) and said his vision was different. Didn’t outright say he hated or disliked it, but definitely that his vision was different and wanted to touch on her overcoming her issues with parents before LoK and having positive but realistic relationship with own kids. Would have handled Suyin and Lin differently (felt it was the wrong direction).
Similar to his ATLA commentary on Iroh, would have explored more of Iroh’s influence on Zuko and Spirit World. More Gaang interaction during LoK events would have been nice. Katara in regards to healing and bloodbending would be altered- agreed she would be against bloodbending but liked to see her fight still.
Based on the number of times he said ‘my vision was different,’ I am completely convinced that’s Ehasz’s way of shading the hell out of Bryke. Either way, he’s an awesome mind to pick. He knows his stuff and the work he and his wife do speaks for itself.
I don’t really know about Ehasz’s opinions on Korra because I haven’t spoken to him in ages (approximately 4 years now) and the show had just finished it’s first season at the time. Haha, it’s not hard getting an internship at Nickelodeon. They’re not strict and they accepted me on my first attempt. You just have to be a university student with a lot of motivation.
Before ATLA had ended and the possibility of a Book 4 was still up in the air, he said he wanted to explore the political side of their world (and airbenders would have been hiding in the Fire Nation instead of being the result of Harmonic Convergence!). After ATLA ended, Ehasz said Bryke wanted him to make a spin-off focusing on Katara/Aang’s children which would have bridged the gap between ATLA and LoK (instead of releasing comics). The first option would have been the best and the second might have still been better than what we eventually got.
Glad you mentioned the showing vs. telling thing with Ehasz vs. Bryke because this impacted on how they wrote the Kataang relationship. Sometimes it was a cutesy ship tease thing by Ehasz and sometimes it was a forced mess on near-Makorra levels of bad by Bryke (which the other writers had to tone down). Ehasz is probably mad at the current direction of the Avatar franchise but he has to keep it to himself because he’s not the creator and he’s still a good friend of Bryke’s.
Thanks for the info! It links up to a lot of stuff I have discussed before. I’m all ears if you ever want to go into detail about the what-could-have-been you discussed with Ehasz.
