Nothing is perfect, but it was satisfying and that's what matters to me.

@CCC:
If you really needed some token scene of Korra making out with a girl in s1e1 for this to "make sense," then I guess this wasn't the show for you :P
Yeah. This. Personally I like seeing relationships develop and grow in a subtle manner with little to no physical intimacy until it's all realized. Because well. That one of the ways actual real life relationships happen. So whenever I hear or see people saying "they are or could be just friends", I'm like… "So fucking what?". Friendships, dating and love are just not exclusive.

It kinda worries me that the ending had a fuckload of issues (eve if it's good it had them) but people are realling trying to hammer the kora and Asami thing and overlook everything else.
Not really. the action was good, there were a lot of "oh shit" moments, everyone in the main cast got a moment to shine, there were emotional bits, there was overall closure on all the main series notes, it delivered in the places it needed to do so and far better than past rushed, dues ex machina loaded Avatar finales, while having a much more subtle and nuanced villain than in the past, and even pulled out an ending point that nuanced the slip that was season 2's main deal.
Yes, the finale could have been 20 minutes longer to deal with dozens more side characters (in particular Tenzin's sibling, General Iroh, the original Gaang, etc.) and world bits, but we'll chalk that up to Nick forcing a clip show on them at the last minute costing them an episode. You can nitpick or have little problems with it, but overall it was satisfying and didn't leave any massive notes hanging like "WHERE IS MY MOTHER". Anything else really lingering is worldbuilding outside the frame and scope of the series and is left to creator interviews and comic follow ups.
The pairing is mostly only getting talked about so much because a)all the other stuff was there the rest of the series, and b)its unheard of in a children's cartoon show and a lot of people are still saying its not there, even after the creators specifically said it was.
-
Yeah I mean I could go on all day about how that Colossus probably shouldn't be standing if its outer frame is built out of solid platinum or how Platinum is some sort of super metal on par with vibranium or adamantium, or how Bolin giving it lava foot basically did nothing, or how Kuvira could see the team when they were way below her, or how she could feel that people were metalbending in the arm, or how she just plain ripped off the arm after it became disconnected, or how Republic City could have maybe lightning benders from every angle possible to roast the insides of the Colossus, or why didn't Korra keep strangling the Colossus with water or earth or something while they were chopping a hole, or how the emp only affected one platoon of mecha suits, or how the badger moles were inexplicably influenced by Wu's singing to the degree of control that he could tell them to take out mecha suits, etc.,
But in the long run, none of those things really affected my enjoyment of the finale. The air bending tornado was solid, Meelo actually came up with a sound plan, Kuvira vs Korra was solid, pretty much everyone had some time to shine, Varrick is as much of a boss as ever,
Hayao MiyazakiHiroshi got a pretty good redemption scene of sorts, and it was just really solid overall.And I mean, when you get down to it, having characters get together that are of the opposite gender after fostering it in many ways as a "strong friendship" is kind of a big deal. When conventional wisdom for reading between the lines here often means "strong friendship" while the same situation with just one gender swap would allow for discussion of a budding relationship, it's of course going to be subject to being the hot topic. I think that we can discuss them being built as a friendship says a lot about how the creators actually managed to put some thought into it, as opposed to Naruto's ending where pairings literally came out of nowhere.

@.access:
Kuvira as a whole was not convincing as a villain, her threat as a giant Gundam was pretty much none and that last fight was awful (she couldn't hit a single person with that beam even if the person was standing in front of her),
Presumably there were a ton of casualties when she death blossomed the city… but being a kids show on Nick they weren't going to speak up and make a point about that. Much like alll the other random crushed earth and fire deaths in the course of the series.
They killed Jet and the Earth Queen and all three members of Zaheer's crew on camera and STILL couldn't say "died" or admit they killed them... they certainly weren't going to bring it up with civilians or random background airbenders.
We can probably imagine a few airbenders got clipped and dissolved in those blasts, but also that a blast like that would actually push the air around it and so would actually very naturally push away fliers most of the time.
I mostly hate Zhu Li's development (one of the few cases I think it would be better to keep the character as a one sided joke instead of trying to develop it and making it lose its charm),
Verrick was an amazing character who rightfully took over the show and whose role kept growing, so the creators and writers latched onto him, and by proxy, his assistant. Characters grow and change in writing, and as Verrick's role grew, so naturally did hers. She wasn't the cabbage merchant or frothy mouth guy, there clearly had to be a bit more there and its nice they had a chance to show it. Her being a one note joke up until the last minute would have been awful, and would have also interfered with Verrick's growth from an mistrusted antagonist force to a heroic liked member of the group.
don't even want to get me started on Wu,
Guy started out sheltered, annoying and doofy, and in a time of crisis matured into an understanding and responsible leader that saved lives. I don't see any issue there beyond his and Mako being C-plot the whole season, and perhaps him not being introduced sooner in say, season 3, though the time skip makes that pretty reasonable.
the way Korra finally surpassed her inner struggle…
After struggling for three years, talking to several experienced mentors, dealing with all her past issues at length, confronting her previous enemy, and spending the majority of the season getting there?
Also, the guest characters were handled SO poorly (the excuses to leave Toph out of the fight, Bumi and Kyra simply disappearing, Asami being pretty much lost in the plot).
It wasn't Toph's show. Like Katara and Zuko, them appearing was inherently fanservice to fans of the old show, and it actually would have been really inappropriate for them to steal spotlight from the leads of this series. It isn't their story, and they ARE all pushing like 90-100 years old, they really shouldn't be actively fighting, despite fanwankery that they should.
As for the others, again, we'll chalk it up to the budget cut clip show taking out half an hour of the planned finale… and them not being a big part of this particular season and so not needing the closure. Most of their personal issues were explored in season 2, and dealt with at length and given closure in season 3 when Bumi got airbending and they had to deal with how that changed their dynamic.

I'll never understand the thing about Zuko's mom. Which one is preferable?
Zuko: "Where is my mother?!!"
Ozai: "Oh, she's in a prison to the north. I guess you can have her freed now. There's nothing stopping you."
Zuko: "Alright then."Zuko: "Where is my mother!!"
Ozai: "How shoud I know? She left that night my father got murdered. She's probably been hiding this whole time. I guess she'll find her way back soon enough."
Zuko: "Alright then."Zuko: "Where is my mother?!!"
Scene -
Yeah that's the other thing, having only ~thirteen episodes per season to tell a coherent story really hurts it in terms of the creative choices they have to make, when I guess you could make the argument that having one coherent villain throughout all three planned seasons would have helped it, the limitation definitely forced Bryke to make choices that are iffy, even if the original series was plagued with a lot of padding episodes.
So when in doubt, blame Nick.

SceneDefinitely not the third one if that's what you're wondering. Bringing it up and then never bringing it to closure, seeing Zuko just hanging out with Aang and his posse after confronting his father about his missing mother is a really terrible cliffhanger for a series finale.
Maybe have Zuko make a passing remark that, after he fixes everything his father fucked up, that he'll go on a search for his mother or something. Or maybe have her show up in the finale after the war's finished. But definitely not the third option.
-
I'll never understand the thing about Zuko's mom. Which one is preferable?
The answer is
"Don't bring it up at all in the last two minutes of your show"He didn't know, and Zuko had no reason to think he did, we as the audience knew the major points of how and why she had left, and it hadn't come up for almost 50 episodes, nor had it been a constant ongoing aspect of Zuko's arc. It didn't need to be addressed at the last second, not in that way. Not as a cliffhangery moment that wasn't ever going to get any resolution.
If they HAD to adress it, she could have simply shown up at the coronation. Wouldn't have needed a long winded "Oh I got amnesia and changed my face by Ko's mother, and have a new family now". Context would have been "I had to hide while your father was in power for your sake." Or Zuko could have said "I'm going to rule this kingdom, and hopefully someday find my mother." Or hell, they could have done it as an episode instead of the Ember Island Players or Nightmares and Daydreams or The Headband or any number of other basically filler episodes in the last season. Or hell, she could have been hiding out with Uncle Iroh even.
If it had been a vauge "hey, their lives will go on and this is a far off future" sort of thing, that would have been fine. But "DRAMATIC QUESTION AND THEN CLIFFHANGER NEVER TO BE RESOLVED!" was bad.
That it got resolved in comics seven years later doesn't count, they didn't know that was coming then, or when they teased about it in the artbook, when they teased it at cons, or when they did the first episode of Korra when they teased about it again. It was clearly a story they wanted to tell, but they way they went about going "oh yeah, big story we'll tell someday maybe" was weak.

"Don't bring it up at all in the last two minutes of your show"That's fair. I guess I agree. It just never bothered me personally. At all. It was suspenseful.

That the ending is open for a lot of critic and discussion and people are only really going against Korra and Asami in not a healthy way and i get nervous because i worry there may be something ugly behind those opinions (Not talking about here. I have a friend that goes into tumblr a lot (lol, tumblr) and what he shares leaves me thinking).

Fun fact. The melting point of platinum is 1768 C. Lava temperature ranges around 700-1200 C.
Personally, I would have tried super eating then super cooling with ice in rapid succession to try to wear and tear the platinum, but plasma laser worked in the end.

Also, the whole "spirit of faces" thing was brought more by the comic guy than the creators. So only amnesia and new family were part of the original plan, if there was any.
Also, asking for nightmares and daydreams or the ember island players to dissaparear should be a punisheable offense, the headband was kind of needed to show the deepth of the Fire nation propaganda, the sacrificable one was the painted lady.

Monarchy dissolving? The avatar not being all that relevant except when only she can save the world? Bolin being ordained to be able to marry people? How Korra's villians (sans Vaatu and mostly Unalaq) were mostly people with coherent motivations? That the airbenders are cool? That Raiko has endured 2 city obliterations and has enough political capital to be president for life? That Melo isn't dumb all the time? That Ikki never got a good end of season momen? That Jinora the savior got rightly sidelined as it wasn't a spirit issue (and she should have been dead from season 2 anyway)? That Kuvira didn't had named minions in the end? That we didn't even knew if Rohan was an airbender? We didn't see Bender Bending Rodriguez? That the fire nation decided not to attack? That Iroh the younger was supposed to be only a cameo when the series was only one season and didn't need development?
The season has threads that can be followed, Mako and Wu's underdevelopment, Toph's exile, Su's father, more time with Mr. Sato/Ju Li etc.. What of the ending do you want to discuss?
-
The thing that bothered me in the season (and maybe discuss i guess?) was that i always thought Balance was meant to be in the world and how the Avatar wasn't necessary anymore (and that an example of that was Kuvira in the beginning) and not that it meant Balance in Korra. But that's actually on me, i shouldn't have thought Balance was the human world not needing korra anymore.
-
Bolin being ordained to be able to marry people?
Ministers are just for show anyway. (Considering ship captains can do it too.) The official paperwork is done outside of the ceremony.
-
That's the thing, only the avatar, living the way that the avatar usualy does, can be trusted with such responsability.
Not because is the only one who can bend all 4 elements and do spirit stuff, but because it's the one who has mastered all 4 elements, living with the people of the world, escentialy becoming one of all four nations. And do the spirit stuff.
The world might not need the avatar to solve issues beyond the spiritual ones, but it's the person who has the best resumee because of it. Usualy.
-
Korra had to ordain her own wedding that day.
-
Wait, Korra is the only one that can marry people? I'm so confused right now.
-
You guys already saw this?

So I started to do a rewatch now that the series has ended. I just finished Book 1 again and a few quick thoughts:
-The art and animation is AMAZING! It's the best out of all four books
-Korra dropped two cup sizes and muscular toneage sometime after book 1 from what I cant tell. Not sure how that could happen haha
-The plot twists feel more genuine and harder to guess, I really get a kick out of Amon's fake face
-I love the tone of the first book, reminds me a lot of Bioshock Infinite
-I love pretty much the whole book except one thing towards the end but I understand why it was done. I feel like the story would have been better if Korra wasn't able to reconnect to the other elements and restore other people's bending until Book 2 when the spirit portals opened. Obviously, since it wasn't one hundred percent anymore would be made or that the audience would understand that her connection would be repaired later, they had to do what they did.I'm going to start Book 2 in a couple of hours but I read that there were issues with the video encoding on Book 2. I have the Blu-ray of it so I'm not sure if it was a BD or a DVD issue but I hope I don't run into it. I've also only ever seen the other three books once so I might have a different opinion the second time around but I'd rank them so far as:
1

2Yeah if the creators knew from the start that they would get a second season you could have built up Unalaaq more as someone who is helping the Avatar trying to get her bending back (even making it so that in order for Vaatu to be released the Avatar must have mastery over all elements to break his prison).

If they could pull that off without constantly making him seem obviously evil that would have done wonders for his character.
-
Amon was my favourite villain from Korra.
The hoard of Ty Lees were great.
-
Unalaq being in the background all of S1, and making more progress with her recoverhing her bending than the rest, and Korra not reconecting with the avatars up to the Wan episode would have made wonders for the first two seasons.
Lin and the other benders who got fake spiritbended away could have reconected during spirit convergence, Lin trying to be da chief without her superpowers.
I liked the "a season a villian" format, but I wish that they had the whole thing tought out up front, and had room for some more character exploration, as Mako and Asami direly needed it, and most of the cast could have used it.

Ooook, finally seen the ending! I have tons of things to say about it, not all of it is positive but, surprisingly, I'm much less angry about the show than I was during the season's half point. This will be long since I don't have my thoughts in a proper order right now and I'll just say stuff that comes to my mind, so read it if you want, and if you don't, well, you won't be missing much:
First off, yeah, the ending wasn't bad at all. The action (finally!!) kicked it up a notch, and I'm veeery confortable with the massive amounts of mayhem and destruction that cannon caused, and the fact that we saw an entire building being bended to fall on the robot's head. That's the stuff I had been missing! Or Korra freezing the mammoth thing on her own for quite a while (actually, she was doing great, why didn't she keep it up and save Asami's dad?), making her look like, you know, the freaking Avatar. Keeping the analysis on the "shonen battle whore" level, Korra vs. Kuvira round 2 was cool, nice moves, going at it equally. . .but waaaay too short. I remember Korra vs. Unavaatu being quite a massive fight divided into different acts, this was quite shorter and, well, "down to earth" overall. Bolin and co. taking out random mooks instead of actual characters was a bit of a downer too, but the coreography was nice, and, fuck, I was in need of some badass bending and fight coreography.Props to Korra for taking that blast head on in the end.
Weird that we never got the mandatory "face your inner fear LITERALLY scene", Bleach style, but I guess after paying Zaheer a visit that was solved. Or something.
Kinda bummed about the spirit mojo thing, though. The spirits basically told Korra to fuck off, and then that was 100% forgotten, no longer an option. I spent the entirety of the last two episodes waiting for the moment when Korra gets the unexpected help of the spirit world in the form of, I don't know, something, but it was never a thing. Couldn't the spirits have messed up the cannon when it was tied up with the vines, and made it stop working? Or set up a spirit shield to help Korra when she was blasted at point blank range? (not that that particular scene bothers me, she actually looked pretty badass tanking that by herself). I don't know, that felt weird. The whole spirit world thing in the end felt like a bit of a waste ever since the end of season 2, sadly.
Another thing that's been pointed out before is how this was a bit underwhelming in terms of pure fanfare, boombastic, no holds barred end of the world scenario compared to Unavaatu's final god of destruction form and the Kaiju showdown that followed. I wasn't a big fan of that, but as an ending, nothing can get to THAT size again, and indeed, in never got to that level. Maybe that's a good thing, I honestly feel this was something more suited for season 2 or maybe 3, and leave the freaking Armaggedon for the last arc. But, again, Korra got it solved by herself instead of the end of season 3, where the newbie airbenders did almost all the job with that huge tornado. I honestly prefer THIS.
I would've loved a longer end fight, and I would've loved a longer epilogue too. Yeah, it was pretty long, but it's the end of the franchise in its TV form, some characters like Bolin deserved a final "cool pose" to be immortalized forevermore. Cliched, yeah, but a bit more fanfare to send off the franchise wouldn't have hurt at all. It all felt very low key which, again, doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing, but yeah, I wanted a bit more Holywood in my ending.
And THE ending. . .yeah, it was pretty sweet. Quite ballsy. I prefer Korra x Asami over Mako any day of the week, month and year, so, yeah, good for me!
There're more things but this'd take forever. It's already a block of text as it stands, so no need to mae it longer. Overall, Aang's series triumphs over Korra's series in many aspects, and I never entirely fell in love with the second series, but overall it was still pretty good mainly (shallowness ahead) because of the production values, the action, the music and the overall sense of spectacle it left. Would've hope for something else, but did its job.

@Bryan:
Turtle-duck Date Night
This is my piece for the upcoming The Legend of Korra / Avatar: The Last Airbender Tribute Exhibition at Gallery Nucleus, opening this Saturday, March 7th, 6:00pm to 10:00pm. Mike and I will be there doing a signing for the first half of the reception (there are a limited number of spots in the signing line, but I’m not sure how they are working that), and hanging out for the rest. I think there will be a raffle, and plenty of cool stuff to purchase. A bunch of the crew members from the production will be there too (hopefully including some ATLA folks), so it is going to be a fun family reunion for us. I can’t wait to see all of the incredible artwork.
As for this piece, I used and modified Emily Tetri's production painting of Harmony Tower (designed by Lee Jung-Su). Otherwise, I drew and painted the rest of it. I based the turtle-duck boats on the charming swan boats I saw while visiting Ueno Park in Tokyo. Gallery Nucleus will be selling the above artwork as an exclusive print, in a limited edition of 100, to be released on opening night (and I’m pretty sure I’ll be signing them). I will be donating 100% of my share of the proceeds to an LGBTQ suicide prevention hotline.I hope to see you Saturday! Get there early, as the lines for these Gallery Nucleus openings wrap all the way around a city block. If you can’t make it to the opening, the show will be hanging for two weeks. There is an event being planned for the closing as well. More on that later.

The comics are okay, but… yeah, they haven't been great. They kind of come off as more official fanfics than anything else.
One of the biggest problems they have is theyre trying to bridge the gap between the first series and Korra by bringing up a lot of those world changing elements. The establishment of a city for all the nations, Toph with a metal bending school and the father of her first child, finding ZUko's mother...
and theyre doing it all in about 3 months. 70 years of history and theyve already rushed through most of the major things in the characters lives.
Also, the Zukos mother thing was incredibly bad, especially after years of teasing and buildup.

Well, rather than anything tragic or sacrificial, or contstantly being on the run and hiding, or anything else dramatic and touching…. it was instead.

! Zuko tracking her down actually messed her up. -

I wish I could say I was emphasizing that oddly to make it a joke.
But nope. It was literally exactly that.
They also pretended for 2 volumes Zuko had a different father by awkwardly writing a note that no one would ever write that way except to be ambiguously misleading to an audience and be a cliffhanger.
The comics would be more palatable if they came out regularly… but as a one shot that only comes out every three months, and with each story being three parts, (and thus it takes 9 months to tell the equivalent of one episode" well, the pace is bad. Sure there's more pages than an average comic, but that only bloating the story to the format.
-
It seems that after the trilogy of seasons that what Avatar the Last Airbender, they haven't been able to keep the magic. It wasn't perfect, but it was pretty good for what it was. Seems the comics are a mess, so I will keep out of that. Korra had its ups and downs, unfortunately with a lot more downs than ups. First Season was overall good with the romance being really bad, and the ending being rushed. The second season was dreadful except for the spirit world stuff, and the romance stuff was even worse. Third season had promise but the villains threat level was inconsistent. Last season was another one with potential, but Kuvira was severely underdeveloped and became another villain with no redeeming qualities.

Korra's romance was just pure garbage . It just seemed like the writers were trying to constantly appeal to teen's rather than focus on what made The Last Airbender such a memorable series .

Hopefully they add Spanish audio. We've been getting Grandma into the series, she loves Korra, but we can't start with TLA because our 1st season DVD doesn't have Spanish audio like the rest of it does.
