The Legend of Korra is the sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender. It’s set 70 years after The Last Airbender, and Korra is the Avatar after Aang.

Deeper than the abyss; the hadal depths
Film maker James Cameron may die. He’s going to be at the helm of a one-man submarine that’ll sink 7 miles deep into the Mariana Trench.
