The Dragon Prince, created by Aaron Ehasz (Avatar: The Last Airbender) and Justin Richmond, tells the story of "two human princes who forge an unlikely bond with the elfin assassin sent to kill them, embarking on an epic quest to bring peace to their warring lands," according to a press release from Netflix.

Ehasz and Richmond, along with executive producer Giancarlo Volpe (Star Wars: The Clone Wars), will present a sneak peek and an inside look at San Diego Comic-Con on July 21.

Now, you say Avatar...

Do you also mean Korra?

Cuz I'm torn between 'yay' and 'bleh'.

cognizant · Jul 10, 2018

I loved both Avatar and Korra, so I'm in for this. WIll it also be animated by Korean studio?

Septimus Prime · Jul 10, 2018

Avatar and Clone Wars? Sold.

Sordid Plebeian · Jul 10, 2018

The concept sounds a lot less interesting than Avatar but if it's got the same quality of writing, then it could be a pretty good show.

It's the same showrunners. Some of you take your Korra hate to crazy heights

The Last Airbender, this writer wasn't involved with Korra.

Feeling the same. If it's like the last air bender then I'm on board. If it's like Korra........

That's good to hear

SageShinigami · Jul 10, 2018

FUCK YES LET'S GO!!!

Action cartoons have been in a drought for a while now. There's Voltron, Trollhunters, and...? This is great.

Deleted member 6730 · Jul 10, 2018

Pls be good. I'm kind of peeved that the only major action show anywhere is Voltron and even then it doesn't compare to Avatar (maybe even to Korra tbh).

CopperPuppy · Jul 10, 2018

I don't believe Ehasz worked on Korra at all.

greenbird · Jul 10, 2018

Is that former Naughty Dog Justin Richmond?

edit: yeah, link confirms it.

Sou Da · Jul 10, 2018

Isn't this the IP Volpe said would be getting a AAA game?

Xe4 · Jul 10, 2018

Looks good just based off the description and art. I'll have to see it in motion before saying one way or another whether I'm excited or not.

Deleted member 864 · Jul 10, 2018

I'm interested.

Whoooo

Didn't like Korra as much as airbender, so this is good news

Sabercrusader · Jul 10, 2018

Avatar AND The Clone Wars?

Well damn, that's a quick way to sell me on something.

Serene · Jul 10, 2018

As soon as you tell me it's coming from the head writer of TLA, you got my attention

RedShift · Jul 10, 2018

He didn't work on Korra, which is probably what Korra was 'missing' from ATLA (Not that I think Korra was bad, it's great, just not as good as ATLA)

Really excited for this.

It's really odd that they don't mention that Volpe was the showrunner for Green Lantern the Animated Series.

Wafflinson · Jul 10, 2018

Pretty hyped. Hope the animation is up to par.

Also... Korra was amazing and people have bad taste and don't deserve this new series if they say otherwise!

KtotheRoc · Jul 10, 2018

Ehasz did work on Futurama. Not sure why Netflix didn't also acknowledge that.

Pau · Jul 10, 2018

I'm in. Hopefully Ehasz pushes for more female characters like he did in A:TLA.

Killthee · Jul 10, 2018

Avatar: TLA? And no Nickelodeon bullshit?!?

Jaded Photographer · Jul 10, 2018

Korra sucked because Ehasz had nothing to do with it, so hopefully this should be good.

Deleted member 16657 · Jul 10, 2018

AARON EHASZ YES

As the Korra Hate Brigade will be happy to inform you, Aaron Ehasz was not involved in Legend of Korra.

Yes, he was the one major notable exclusion from Korea, as he wasn't just a writer during Last Airbender's run, he was THE writer. The lead. Of course he was working with the showrunners' original concepts and followed their direction, but he had a sizable influence.

kevin1025 · Jul 10, 2018

I'm very interested in all of this!

TerminusFox · Jul 10, 2018

So, this is either going to be a spectacular failure or a series everyone obsesses over, isn't it?

Khalme · Jul 10, 2018

Hope we'll get to see more after July 21st.

And people are treating Korra like it's the worst show ever created by mankind.

Korra wasn't as great as TLA, but it's a good show overall (minus the first half of Book 2).

Way too many hyperboles.

EvilChameleon · Jul 10, 2018

Mortemis · Jul 10, 2018

Sounds really cool. Definitely down for this.

CloseTalker · Jul 10, 2018

K, the pedrigree is good, but what kind of animation are we getting?

I will be approximately 6000% more excited if it looks more like Avatar than Clone Wars. Cheap CG kids TV needs to go away.

Yes. There's no inbetween.

Man, that art is beautiful. I need to see it in action though

Aaron Ehasz hmm?

Clone Wars was expensive as fuck. It's why Disney cancelled it after acquiring LucasArts.

Not sure about triple A, but it does look like the series will also be getting its own game.

You could make a Netflix Original series, or you could make a video game — or if you're newly minted studio Wonderstorm, you make both. It's founders are Riot Games vets, and they're partnering up with MWM (previously Madison Wells Media) to create an original animated Netflix series as well as a corresponding game for late 2018.

"Some of our favorite experiences when we were younger, and now for that matter, have been with worlds that have amazing characters and stories, but also great video games and other opportunities to play in that world," said Richmond. "So we wanted our studio to be a two-headed beast that could deliver awesome experiences on both the story and game front. We got lucky that one of the first partners that believed in our creative vision was Netflix. Ultimately, we hope that our audience and players find our Netflix series engaging, and that it sparks their imagination — and that they take that with them so they can have a deeper and more engaging experience with an amazing game."

I love it already.

Shedinja · Jul 10, 2018

If I recall correctly, Aaron Ehasz wrote some of the best Airbender episodes.

Looking forward to this.

Clone Wars was in no way shape or form 'cheap'

The thing that bothered me about Korea was the voice acting. It had the "this was recorded in a studio" sound that pervaded the whole series.

I never finished it, but I might give it a rewatch soon.
