A fresh *Avatar* series is currently in the works, and I’ve already compiled a wish list of elements I’d be thrilled to witness in the series.
### *Avatar: Seven Havens*—A New Installment in the *Avatar* Franchise
Dubbed *Avatar: Seven Havens*, this forthcoming series brings us the Earth Avatar that succeeds Korra. Nevertheless, the environment she finds herself in will be drastically different from the last time we visited in *The Legend of Korra*. Per the official description, *Seven Havens* is set in a post-apocalyptic landscape ravaged by a significant disaster, where the Avatar is regarded as a harbinger of destruction instead of a beacon of hope.
This backdrop presents numerous fascinating possibilities, particularly with the introduction of the new Avatar having a twin sister who has been long lost. Bearing that in mind, here are six aspects I wish to see in *Avatar: Seven Havens*.
### 1. Korra as a Guiding Figure
Even if Korra has passed on by the time *Seven Havens* unfolds, I hope her influence is still present.
Since the dark spirit Vaatu disrupted the Avatar cycle in *The Legend of Korra* Season 2, the new Avatar will only have Korra’s spirit to turn to for guidance. Witnessing Korra in a mentorship capacity would allow us to see her growth following the events of the show and comics. It would also symbolize the transfer of legacy from one *Avatar* series to the next.
However, there’s a significant twist: the apocalypse itself. If the calamity that altered the world occurred during Korra’s tenure as Avatar, it implies she was unable to avert it. How would that shortcoming influence her role as a mentor? Would the new Avatar even be inclined to heed her advice? (Honestly, Korra deserves some peace.)
### 2. Broadened Bending Subcategories and Intense Combat
*Avatar: The Last Airbender* introduced us to specialized bending forms such as lightningbending, bloodbending, and metalbending. *The Legend of Korra* built on these, incorporating lavabending, spiritbending, and even the ability to fly. What new techniques might *Seven Havens* reveal?
Regardless of what they are, I’m excited to witness how bending transforms in a post-apocalyptic setting—particularly in battle. Both *The Last Airbender* and *The Legend of Korra* showcased intense, sometimes brutal clashes, with *Korra* upping the ante in Season 3 (who could overlook the Earth Queen’s suffocation or P’Li’s explosive end?). Can *Seven Havens* heighten the intensity even more? Its grim backdrop certainly hints at the potential for more gritty and violent confrontations.
### 3. Could We Encounter Twin Avatars?
The discovery that the new Earth Avatar possesses a twin sparks an exhilarating possibility: what if there are two Avatars?
It may sound like something out of fan fiction, but think about it: when Korra and the light spirit Raava overcame Vaatu, a part of Vaatu lingered within the Avatar spirit. What if, when the new Avatar and her twin were born, that fragment split off—one receiving the traditional Avatar spirit and the other embodying the Dark Avatar spirit?
This dynamic could enable *Seven Havens* to investigate *Avatar*’s fundamental theme of balance in an innovative manner. Moreover, the potential for sibling rivalry and monumental battles between the two would be stellar.
### 4. A Completely Altered World
The Four Nations may no longer exist following the catastrophe, and the “Seven Havens” could symbolize new political or cultural factions.
How have communities transformed in the aftermath of the disaster? Are the Havens structured around bending abilities, or have they completely abandoned that format? Do they maintain any resemblance to the world we once knew, or is this a total overhaul? Delving into these transformations could enrich the world-building of the series.
### 5. A Flashback to the Catastrophe
What precisely triggered the disaster that reshaped the world? Was there a collision between the spirit and material realms? Was it some sort of spiritual energy explosion?
I am in need of explanations, even if they may be hard to stomach. A flashback revealing the origins of the disaster would deepen the narrative and enhance our understanding of the world of *Seven Havens*.
### 6. New Creatures in the *Avatar* Universe
One of the highlights of the *Avatar* franchise is its distinctive and charming animal hybrids—flying bison, badgermoles, fire ferrets, and polar bear dogs, to name just a few.
What new creatures will *Seven Havens* unveil? Naturally, I hope the new Avatar has an endearing animal companion, as is customary. However, considering the post-apocalyptic setting, I’d also be keen to see some fearsome, mutated beasts roaming this new world. Let’s fully
