We've seen a lot of changes made in between the time of Aang and Korra. There was technological advancement, new trends, and perhaps brand new ideologies thanks to our past villains. And the world of Avatar Korra is still undergoing change as we know it. Aside from the terror reign of Kuvira, we got Varrick and his crazy yet fascinating ideas on how to make the world even more modern. We got Asami's company of excellent machines and we shall see more improvements in her industry very soon. And the idea of elections, politics, and leadership have immediately been questioned by Zaheer and his gang. Eventually, a brand new Avatar will arrive at our present era (assuming they exist and all). Now it is a given they are supposed to maintain balance and peace across the world and seeing the issues we have now, I am not sure how the Avatar would be able to manage the problems of every country. So what do you think will most likely happen when we do have an actual Avatar waltzing around the globe?
With technology taking the platform, the avatar will most likely use this to his or her advantage. It's probably the easiest way for her to reach out to the world. And the Avatar would most likely get as much as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr followers as Obama, Justin Bieber, and the Queen of England combined. Also, we will be getting so much memes of the Avatar it will be end up looking pretty mundane.
Of course, the world of business will have to interfere. So the Avatar will be bombarded by many endorsements and will be chosen to be the representatives of charities, high-end brands, and perhaps even sports drinks. Take not, the concept of "Movers" started in the second season of The Legend of Korra. So maybe the concept of celebrity endorsements will come up very soon. Bolin is getting autographs already for crying out loud. It may sound preposterous at first, but in the era of selfies and scandals, the Avatar is going to need to maintain image whether he or she likes it or not.
Also, can you imagine the Avatar making a guest appearance in the U.N alongside Emma Watson., or on shows like Ellen and the Tonight Show? And it's not just going to be concentrated on that region. Imagine the Avatar moving across continents just to talk with a television personality for fifteen minutes. The Avatar will make more World Tours than One Direction has for the past four years!
With all these kinds of pressures, I don't know how the Avatar is going to cope with everything. Just imagine Korra in our world. She's gonna have to tweet about her new hairstyle, at the same time meet up with the UN about expressing her opinions on random topics, stop Ebola and other wars, and then would have to meet up with Oprah for a charity event. She will probably have zero percent room for herself and social life and she will go nuts. I don't even know why I'm blogging about this. This weird thought just ran across my mind this afternoon since I've got nothing better to do with my life (just kidding). I guess this proves how complicated the Earth is slowly becoming. It would become even more complex if we the stuff that Varrick is making! I know kids will be the only ones impressed with the mini transformer machines they have, but eventually they will not be cute if they were used in the wrong way. Wars would be ten times more terrifying if we had bending. I'm sure Manny Pacquiao will be easily forgotten if we had Pro-bending. It would be actually cool if we had Pro-bending. I'd be happy to watch just one fight. However, the world could use someone like Lin Beifong and her Metal Bending Police Force. Thieves would not stand a chance against them...unless they had bending too. I think I've said too much. Till the next post, guys~
