HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS FINALE WAS AMAZING!!!!! :D :D :D
I EVEN CRIED FFS.
Cry. Cry tears of SWEET VICTORY!!! :cry: :cry: :cry:
Epic is an GRAVE UNDERSTATEMENT of this finale!!! :bow:
I can die in peace now...

But in all seriousness, the creators and the writers have truly outdone themselves with this series and this season. I think they pretty much closed up every hole that was opened this season. It leaves me to wonder just what can they do next season?

In all honesty, if you're reading this thread, you're up to date on the show, so IDGAF about spoilers.

It did wrap up a little too cleanly. I thought it'd end on Korra losing all her bending except for air and then doing something with that. She already defeated Amon, it was just a compromise. But then she gets magically healed and can heal all the benders and crap like that.

Mind you there's still plenty of meat for a second season, I mean the Equalists still feel betrayed that their leader was just a bender and now Korra can live up to her Avatar duties, but I did feel the ending here was a little too clean. I think it's because this was meant as a miniseries and it could have ended perfectly here, but yeah, you get the point.

Hm, this show seems to have gotten a lot of praise. Is it worth watching even though it seems to be aimed at children?

It's worth watching if you have a good taste in things.

Its themes are much deeper than a simple children's show and its characters and plots are also for a mature audience. It's something enjoyable at any age.

I don't think that the show is really aimed towards children, it's aimed more towards the fans of the original Avatar The Last Airbender show. Korra is probably a darker version of Avatar. If you didn't watch the original series then you'll probably be a little confused about some of the things in Korra. The original show came out 7 years ago when I was 9, now i'm 16 and I can 100% say that it is definitely worth the watch. The only thing is that it is so short compared to the original Avatar. :(

My thoughts on the show (now I've watched it). And since I'm not an arse I'm gonna use spoiler tags!!!


I agree with those who said it ended too cleanly. Its possible that they had it all animated before a 2nd season was green lighted which explains the whole tie up all the loose ends bit. I also agree with everyone who doesn't think Korra should've ended up with Mako. The guy was clearly infatuated with Asami for several episodes and there didn't seem to be much lead in to him liking Korra just suddenly BOOM he's all up for protecting her over Asami. I'd rather she got over him and moved on with her life. I feel sorry for Asami now :(
WHAT THE HELL WAS IROH THINKING?!?! Seriously, sending an uncoded message over open radio waves when you know the enemy has a high-class techy under their charge? YOU SHAME IROH'S NAME! Iroh was badass, you sir are an idiot. I was expecting him to be all like "Psyche, you think I'm THAT stupid? He's not there, He's at another position and will move in X hours." but no he was just that stupid.

I enjoyed the series as a whole but wish they'd kept Amon around. The guy was the biggest threat to the Avatar we've seen and even defeated her 3/4s of the way. Up until the spirit ending I was fully expecting season 2 to be a search for Amon to learn the secrets of how he removed the bending.
The explanation for taking away bending was brilliant. Somehow he moves the blood in the brain in such a way that breaks the connection in a bender's mind to the elements. The biology is still there in the bender to be a bender but the connection to the spritual energy does not. Since the Avatar us an energy bender, however, she can break and restore these connections at will, at least in Avatar state.

In conclusion: Brilliant series! I only hope they keep it up for season 2.
