Clear your browser cache/history and try again. If you are still able to watch it then it's a problem on my end.

I was able to watch it fine. I'm very excited for this. Do we know when it's going to start airing yet?

Can we PLEASE get a release date already? It's so annoying seeing all these teasers and trailers without having any idea when it's actually going to air.

Never really watched the original series, but after seeing that action sequence, I'm impressed.

Guess I know what I'm doing this week.

The original series proved that if western animators try, they can actually make non-purely episodic cartoons, and that's why the show is so beloved. The other nice bit is that since it's an English language originally, it doesn't have the feeling of "this dub sucks" due to stuff getting lost in translation, and the voice actors actually do a really nice job on top of that. Also they based all the bending styles on cool martial arts.

Makes you wonder if Toph ever managed to pass on Metal bending. Also, Katara was in that video... I wanna see senile Sokka! (and old lady Toph, who I'm sure is 100x more awesome than she already was)

A bit unrelated, but on the topic of metal bending...

What do you suppose is the 'upgraded' version of air bending? We saw metal, lightning, and blood/life, but I don't remember there being a 'higher level' version of air bending.

Vacuum bending. Creating a space devoid of air around someone's personal space, and watching them suffocate to death.

I'm waiting for them to add Light Bending in the series so the Avatar can create rainbow colored death beams.

According to rumors she does go around teaching metal bending, and it becomes integral in the world's law enforcement. Her daughter is supposed to be the head detective/cop/whatever, in fact. There's also supposed to be a group of Anti Benders, with the ability to keep benders from bending like Ty Lee. So expanding on that would be pretty awesome. Keep in mind that's all rumors.

I always thought there should be "Dark/Light sides" of bending. Would love to see an evil Water Bender suck the blood right out of his/her victim which would be a really OP power BTW. I know we have blood bending but still.

Didn't Hama not only control the water in the blood but suck the water out of the rats in prison? (It's been a while since I've watched the episode).

Also, it seems that Katara has let herself go. She should have used that blood bending to try and keep herself young all vampire-like or something.

I'm finally getting around to watching the last of the original series. Have 5 episodes left now.

Lol... jerkbending.

[EDIT]

Man, Katara's suddenly being such a b*tch.

I think that's specifically a dichotomy the first series tried to avoid. There isn't really a lot of good/evil characters in Avatar. Ozai is perhaps the closest to being more than simply an antagonist and into a villain, yet I never really received that vibe. Even Aang wasn't above lying to settle a dispute.

I liked the lack of preaching. Aang was a vegetarian and Sokka couldn't go a meal without meat, but neither tried to force a lifestyle choice on the other.

And while benders are very important and potent characters in the series, it was never so overly focused on bending that non-bending characters fell into insignificance.
