Wow-The legend of Korra Finale

[CODE-D]

It just aired and all I can say is wow just wow. The finale wsa amazing and wrapped up everything well. I wont spoil anything yet until this thread gets going and others have had a chance to see it but man this one heck of a show. Theres a particular moment that youll see that made me go HOOOOOOLLY SHIIIIiiiiiii.... by the fact that what I saw was really mature and somewhat dark, keep in mind nickelodeons darkest show so far has been Invader Zim.

The only thing I hate is mako. His screen time over bo lin, his relationship with korra that feels cheesy. Basically I have distaste for his whole character.
Otherwise everything was perfect.

This was an awesome episode, but there were a few things that really bugged me.
The whole Mako and Korra getting together really left a bad taste in my mouth because I had watched the episode that ended with Korra telling him that Asami "needed" him. I don't think he actually broke up with Asami before the end. Great lesson to teach, cheating on your girl/boy friend with someone you love is OK!

EDIT
<spoiler=After reading several explanations I decided to revise my gripe on bending>he issue I had with blood bending taking away people's abilities was not that it can remove it, but there's so much left unexplained about it. He severs the connection between a bender and their element, which was why Korra could only airbend, but could any sufficient waterbender restore it? The only person who could restore it was the avatar, which is even more confusing since Amon and Aang use different types of bending to debend people.

That season was EPIC!!!!! I agree that Makko is the least favorite character, but he is an awesome fire bender. The ending made me go "whoa..." I wonder what will happen next season?

BTW it is already online for those who want to see it. Go to anilinkz.

This show really was trying the boundaries, I mean...

Spoiler

First fucking warplanes with chinese symbols on them attacking a fleet of ships, I really want to see if anyone complains that it's a lot like Pearl Harbour or something.
Second, fucking SUICIDE in a kids show, really wow. I expected Amon (I don't know the spelling of his actual name) and Tarlok's last scene to be them on the boat simply riding off somewhere, perhaps to come back in a future season. But when Tarlok fucking commited suicide AND killed his brother. Wow, I never expected to see that on a kids show. I mean, if it hadn't of had the typical happy cartoon ending and would of ended with Korra finding out her bending is gone and she's not the avatar then I'm sure a ton of kids would be scarred for ever. I really want to see the reaction of "family groups" to this episode, it'll be fun.

Wait... kids watching LoK? Hahahaha that's as preposterous as kids watching Friendship is Magic!

Just finished watching it. It was pretty awesome, I have a few complaints.

1. A lot of it seemed pretty rushed. Like, Amon's origin story just kinda came out of nowhere after being a really slow burn for the whole season. Same with Korra getting her bending back. It took like, 10 seconds. I mean, what the hell is season 2 supposed to be about? She's already a fully realized avatar. There's not really anything that could possibly challenge her now.

2. Yeah, Mako is kind a douche. If he had never dated Asami, it would've been fine. But he did, so he a douche.

Anyway, everything else was REALLY awesome.

 

[Tartarga]

What I want to know is, how the hell did Amon catch Tenzin and his family?

It made

Spoiler

Lin's sacrifice in the previous episode and losing her bending completely pointless.

 

[DJ_DEnM]

I personally loved it, but I've talked to people who've said they hated the ending, was forced and does not imply a season 2.

 

[Loop Stricken]

Fuckin'...

I didn't like the ending. Too easy.
I didn't like that they showed who Amon is. Shoulda stayed all mysterious an' shit. And just be all hyper-kinetic and awesome.

Pfft.

The season finals was quite satisficing to say the least-

Spoiler

Dammit Mako I was a Mako/ Asumi shipper! I didn't want Korra getting it her way (no I don't think she's a marysue before you asked). What will Asami do now? Take over her father business?
I knew that for Amon take Korra bending away, it open her up to Air bending. Sure it's a Duex Ex Machnina but need I remind you of the Lion Turtle in the previous Avatar series?
Also the whole Non bender vs Bender wasn't resolve. Sure Amon was a fraud which will lead the Equalist disorganise and dissolve but their causes will not be over. I guess they will linger onto season 2.

I did felt the final battle was anticlimactic but that scene near the end was just sad. Also right at the end was just pure fanservice!
Either way I will be waiting for season 2.

Also they didn't explain anything about taking away bending, arguably the biggest question on everyones mind.

I think they are going to expand upon it next season, and there is no certainty that certain people are truly defeated or not. Sooooo...give it time.

The suicide didn't really shock me. Cartoon Network has the Clone Wars featuring child murder and suicides as far back as 2009.

That's not surprising. Season one was at the very least scripted before season 2 was ever conceived. It was originally supposed to be a self-contained 12 episode miniseries, unlike the original show which was always meant to be multiple seasons. I can understand not liking the close-ended nature of it, but nobody should be angry about it.

 

[uneek]

Loved it. Just that there was so much plot in just 2 episodes. Also it's obvious shippers are not like it(Which makes me even happier).
