Bah, when all is said and done I liked that they did this. Sure, it was subtly hinted, but only subtly because we didn't expect it. If she'd been ONLY writing letters to Bolin etc we'd have started saying "hmm wonder if..." etc etc. But since we expected Korra to be into guys only, we didn't do it this time. Yep, Korra's evidently bi, and that's all there is to it. Chill out people, there's no propaganda here, there's "Yeah she's bi, deal with it". Bit like how Samus turned out to be a girl in the first Metroid game. So yeah. I liked this ending. Not very overblown, makes sense when I think about it and hey, I think they could work together.
Yea, even I was surpised. This isn't really just shippers shipping everything and their mother together. This is preety legit that they are bi.
The ending was pretty underwhelming though. Expected more closure I guess. ATLA had a much better ending ( along with everything else).
Though, I really did enjoy this show. Sure has come a long way.

I enjoyed Legend of Korra and I was surprised by the ending. Korra came out pretty well though you could tell their was ALOT of change up to the original idea and it had its lows but still came out on top. I agree the romances were pretty annoying especially how they treated Bolin in the beginning. As for the romance in my opinion I don't care if they are teens and this is "important" I would made the romance not comletely out but on the back page compared to the major overarching events I think it would of went better that way.
I was surprised at Korra and Asami being legit I first took it as shippers shipping which I don't know why that annoys people just the territory and awesomeness that comes with fandoms. Then I started watching season 4 and I thought the writers were just toying with the fans but now when I saw the ending I feel tumblr and the rest internet go nutz.
So it seems like a nice pairing and though Korra had a a lot of bumps I still enjoyed and when awesome stuff happened it was AWESOME.

Hm... I may have to give this show another try.Saetha said:

OMG OMG OMG! I can't believe they did it!! Bolin is an ordained minister?!?! :O I nearly fell out of my chair! It was so stunning!
As for the actual episode, and not the ending, meh, it was ok. Nothing all that interesting, and I laughed at the "haha! You walked right into the path of my giant laser gun conveniently aimed right at someone coming into the clearing!" tactic of Kuvira.
Still not impressed with the series overall, and still don't like Korra. I would say that the Asami/Korra relationship felt very sudden and out of nowhere, but that's honestly pretty par for the course with this show, and how they ping pong relationships back and forth for no reason.
I give the series a 4/10. Some parts were worth watching, but not enough to ever watch the show again.

You're right, they didn't, they're simply going to be a lot of states who elect their own governments, they might be independent all of them, or there might be a union between them, but the Kingdom is at least goneTimeLord said:Yeah I know thatSNCommand said:
But they didn't state what the new "Kingdom" was called with the states broken up
I'd daresay that individuals who have antipathy for Mako are now going to crow that he was such a bad boyfriend that he drove his attractive two former girlfriends into each other's arms. Demotivational posters are probably going to follow.
I'm gonna take a stab at it and say it will be called the "Earth Republic". Mainly because they cannot STOP calling it "Earth *Insert word here*"TimeLord said:Yeah I know thatSNCommand said:

Earth will definitely still be there, but I don't think it will be Republic since there already is a Republic, and the individual Earth Kingdom states are free to choose their system of government, it's why I'm in favor of it being the United States of Earthxaszatm said:I'm gonna take a stab at it and say it will be called the "Earth Republic".

Ehhh... yeah, it's kinda hard not to see it that way. To be honest, I always found the whole "Korrasami" (which I'll put in quotes because it's not an actual word) obsession kinda creepy, but it was a rather sweet touch at the end.
On the whole, the finale was perfectly good. Still felt more like an extended ending of a season rather than a whole series, but whadyagonnado when Nick has been fucking the series up teh butt since day 1. I was rather let down by Varrick and Ju Lee (or however you write that) entering a romantic relationship, since I always felt theirs was the most unique, and I'd rather had it stay that way. It wasn't even that much of a stretch to assume Varrick was gay, or just devoid of romantic interests altogether. The giant mecha thing... meh. Would have probably been better if it didn't move like a video game character from the 90's.
Overall, I'd rate the series as a whole probably a 6.5/10, but I can't really blame it all on the creative team. It was doomed from the start, being the sequel to TLA, and Nick's batshit policies certainly didn't help. Season 2 was the pits, but season 3 still rules supreme. It was a bumpy ride, but certainly worth it, just for even a spark of that Avatar magic again.
You know what would totally make my day? A mini-sequel series where Korra and Asami just chill out on their vacation and ruin this whole relationship thing for everyone. Or fuck it, just make a whole series where the characters just do the craziest, stupidest fanservice things. Get Toph, Zuko and Katara reunited at an old folks' home and have them whine about them kids these days. Make an episode where Mako finally realizes broody cop isn't what he wants to be, and tries out a whole bunch of wacky jobs. Make Bolin a lavabending teacher. Or have him return to his movie career. Make an episode with Toph, Lin and the twins from season 2 where they just stand in a room and try to out-grump each other.
I'm not sure if there's anywhere for this franchise to go after this point. I'm perfectly fine if this is the last we'll see of Avatar.

After thinking about it more one of my big problems with it is; it's so effortless. In a story a romance has to overcome something for me to care. Otherwise it's just two people who like each other a whole big bunch then they live happy ever after. Worst. Story. Ever. It's like watching a sports movie where the team starts out as the best and then goes on to win the championship. Who would watch that?maneyan said:
Say what you will about "star crossed lover's" and "love triangles" but there is at least some investment in it. Hell even in Fallout:NV(god I talk about this game a lot) Veronica's hinted at romance with Christine has some investment. You wan to see these two overcome there the prejudice of there faction and get together. They don't witch make it kind of sad, but like I said there is investment.
Whatever in the end this is just one bad plot line in an otherwise good show.
TLA's ending was pretty corny as well honestly.SUPA FRANKY said:
There was the last agni kai which was a fantastic confrontation between Zuko and Azula and probably my favourite scene in the series, but otherwise the ending wasn't all that great. Aang pretty much only wins the final fight because of coincidence (He just happens to hit his back on a rock in the exact spot that would magically let him have his avatar powers back.) and he never actually has to confront the biggest problem he'd been facing for the entire season, that killing might be the best solution, because a magical turtle came out of nowhere and whisked him away to teach him a last second cop-out answer to his problem... A solution that doesn't really make much sense when you think about it because bender or not Ozai was still the fire lord, it's a hereditary position after all not one determined by ability. Realistically he'd have had loyalists all over the place causing trouble, trouble that might have been lessened were he dead instead of being made into a living martyr for his cause.
Plus I found the last second romantic note the series ended on just as tacky then as I do now, but that's more of a personal preference really.
