Could the writers be praparing us for a Sokka spin off?

[RonDrakenfan17]

Maybe that's why there not giving Sokka that much character development or episodes in Avatar :D
I'd love that....

Involving what exactly? Where would the story go in terms of a Water tribe warrior?

Who knows...That's what the writers are for LOL. I think it would be nice, maybe it could involve the human side of the world instead of bending this time. villains...well could be different. Ask for the quest, could be about Sokka traveling to find some thing, maybe his idenity. And Toph and Ty-Lee could travel with him along with Momo if Katara and Anng do end up together Momo would need to travel with some one. That's just an idea from me, who knows what the writers could cook up, maybe they could have some villain show up from Sokkas past that we don't know about.

Funny, I'd use a lack of character development as a reason why they wouldn't make a Sokka spin-off.

And you say 'that's what the writers are for' as if they magically make contrived plots make sense. If I were planning a spin-off, it would probably involve a new Avatar entirely, after a century-long time lapse. Even if it was concurrent, at the very least I wouldn't use the same characters. Just taking the old show and making the main character Sokka strikes me as unimaginative. Avatar is an ensemble show, of which Sokka is a part. Aang isn't the main character per se, but more the titular character. All six of the main protagonists contribute their piece, and the show would be less effective if one were taken out.

But making a spin off about a new avatar wouldn't be any thing new at all. It would be like the show where watching now we'd just be seeing new character is all which wouldn't be cool. And I'd use at a reason more, I mean they could be waiting for character development on his in show.

Au contraire, it would allow a new dynamic and a different feel for the show, making it its own, special beast. It may have a different format and story structure, still having strong continuity but advancing the story in a different direction than the 'mythical quest to end a devastating war'. It could be refreshing because essentially we'll be starting a new Avatar all over again. The energy of newness is an excellent thing to harness.

Just expanding a character already existent (and, IMO, a character somewhat lacking in mysteries and depth, even if I enjoy him a lot) on the other hand is just prolonging a part of the older show, when a lot of the energy and excitement has been spent, and the final chapter has already closed with a cathartic and satisfying conclusion. It'll feel like a cash-in, and Avatar deserves better than that.

The next Avatar would be a waterbender wouldn't it? It could be Sokka's grandkid. How cool would that be?

I think Sokka already gets his due considering he's not a bender. He always brainstorms up a good plan when the pressure is really on. I get the feeling he'll learn some type of soft/internal martial art in season three. Maybe he'll create a new weapon for himself.

That brings up a question. I posted a new thread on it here: http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=179820

I have a feeling Sokka will learn some new things or get a new weapon in season three as well. A spin off about Sokka's grandkid would be intresting but than I'd like character development on Sokka from a spin off. It could be more on humans instead of benders this time which would be different.

To Rasputin-Sure it would be different characters and kind of different story. But it would be an Avatar learning the same things as Aang, which would be boring to see the same thing over agian with a new character, it would be a repeat.

Not in the least. The possibilities are endless. Ang is special, not just because he's an Avatar, but because he's monk, he's young, he's the last of the airbenders (or so we think). The next Avatar could be a tyrant like the firebenders. He/she would believe that by ruling over everyone he/she would be keeping peace and thus, fulfilling the Avatar's destiny. The protagonists of the show would be working to stop the Avatar's tyranny and help him/her see the light.

The next Avatar could be a self centered pickpocket that brawls too much and knows nothing about keeping peace. It would take the loss of the Avatar's home village or something similar to make the Avatar do its duty.

The next Avatar could be born in an age where everything looks peaceful. The firebenders have worked with the other kingdoms, bringing iron based technology to everyone. The Avatar would discover secret plans for the fire nation to rise up again and start future wars. Everyone would look down on the Avatar for spreading 'rumors' about the firebenders.

Or there could be an age where several people with the power to bend multiple elements are born. They would all have to have a tournment to discover who the true Avatar is.

Just a few ideas that could be worked into a spinoff. And by the way, benders are humans too.

How could the next Avatar even exist? He/she wouldn't have an airbending master.

The Avatar doesn't have to learn all the elements to live. But he/she could use scrolls, ya know?

[Simon Trent]

What? Then why does Aang need all of the elements then? Why does everyone put so much emphasis on mastering the four elements? Why would learning how to earthbend make a difference if airbending, waterbending, and firebending fail?

But he/she could use scrolls, ya know?

I thought that Master Pakku said not to do that.

1.) So he can stop the current war.

2.) Forget master Pakku

jk.

[Wonderwall]

A spin off thats simply titled...SOKKA. It can to AVatar what Joey was to Friends.

That doesn't mean more airbenders couldn't be born. I take it neither of Toph's parents are earthbenders yet she's very skilled.

[Sarcasticninja]

Sokka had a good season. He was reunited with Suki, which sparked up a love triangle with Yue. He also took a greater role as a planner and inventor. Not to mention how he took charge in the Library, "Sokka Style" anyone? He had good moments considering the show also had to balance the introduction of Toph and Zuko's quest.

The Sokka Show? Come on now. If Avatar didn't already put so much into its supporting cast I'd understand, but that show just wouldn't make sense. I'd like to see Sokka really take charge as a warrior though. Just enough to take on Azula's Warrior crew, who are probably the best examples of how powerful a character can be without bending. Ty Lee is frighteningly effective, and she basically just has the same kinds of skills as the Guru (ability to close chi gates).

If anything comes after this season, it should be Book: Air. Though I don't know how you'd fill 20 episodes with just rebuilding. Unless after Ozai goes down, Azula takes the crown. That would be... frightening.

[QuickSilverD]

Sokka should get an episode of season three for himself, but a whole new series? uhm I really don't think so, it would be interesting if it would ever happen
