Hmm, I really liked the show, great season overall, but aside from the obvious love Triangle and a couple of characters being treated unfairly (seriously, Bo-Lin has nothing to do for the 2nd half of the season, and we should have seen more of Iroh after his little aircraft stunt) I realised that Korra gave Lin back her bending, so she'll probably heal the other couple hundred people who lost it to Amon, but does that mean she could grant non-benders bending?
It would be an interesting concept for season 2 where you have civilians literally beating down her door so they can be granted the power, and it would put a new spin on the whole Equalist arc.

They kind of didNegaWiki said:
It was Amon's Bloodbending that severed the connection between the bender and their element. I mean they didn't tell EXACTLY how it was done but it's not like they completely ignored it altogether
Korra magically being able to Airbend at the exact right moment and Airbending not being taken away from her along with the other elements was a little deus ex machina for my taste though
I was happy with the finale overall though. And I'm in shock with the whole Amon/Tarlak(sp?) murder/suicide thing. I was just expecting Tarlak to attack Amon with the shock gloves so he could be taken to jail. Then BOOM!!! Followed by me saying to my friend "HOLY SHIT! Did that just happen?"

1channel.ch has links to every episode that has been aired, but you could always use Google to wfind more links.aba1 said:
Wait, didn't they say that they would be doing 26 episodes? Damn it, reliable information is so scarse these days >.>
OT: It was frackin fantastic. Dat bombing, them airplanes. The pacing was through the roof though, I wished they would've slowed down a bit more. And the Amon reveal came kind out of nowhere, as did his downfall. Still, it was awesomesauce next level.

I liked it, I thought it could have been better but all in all it was pretty damn good
Tarlok's redemption wasn't really a mystery, I wasn't expecting him to blow up the boat though. That was cool.
Air bending after losing the other 3 elements was fucking sweet.
The Avatar state restoring bending was a bit of a cop out, but not one I didn't see coming.
That could have been handled better but I'm still stupidly happy that Lyn got her bending back.
Am I the only one who's a little miffed that they wrapped up the whole relationship thing. I don't mind the way it turned out, but it TLA they played with it for 60 episodes, when there really wasn't any question that Aang and Katara were going to get together. In LoK they have some complicated love triangle building up over the season then it gets resolved like that (Implying that I snapped my fingers) I hope they play with that some more in the next season.
Did Sokka have any kids?
The biggest thing that bugged me was Amon's identity. I was really expecting him to be the Avatar who was born after Aang died the first time.
That would mean Korra was supposed to be the Earth Avatar, which would explain why she had such a hard time learning Air bending. But what ever,

It was the first season's finale. There is at least one more season (14 episodes) left. The creators have expressed an interest in more seasons but nothing is solid yet.henritje said:
My guess is warplanes caught up to them. Although you think a master air bender would be perfectly suited to take down airplanes unless caught completely off guard. I mean all you have to do is counter the lift under the wings and every plane goes into free fall.Tartarga said:
OT: There are high notes and low notes for me. The season certainly didn't end as strong as it started with the first two episodes of the series being my favorite. It wrapped things up nicely, and I enjoyed the overarching plot. However it suffered the same problems the rest of the series does with some scenes being rushed and forced and the lack of creative action scenes that TLAB had. Its roots as a mini-series shows (especially the very end) and I'm hoping they take more time and flesh things out in the second season. I did enjoy it overall but I know it could of been better if the first season had been fleshed out to two seasons with some filler for character development. On a more personal note I'm not a fan of the whole Mako/Korra relationship which to me seems shoehorned in.
I'm really curious where they are going to go for the next season with basically every conflict that appeared in the first season being resolved. My guess is its going to revolve around the bending backlash against non-benders as a result of the revolution.
Cons:
1. The fight scenes were rather bland with the exception of Iroh taking out planes. They were all resolved relatively quickly, with little to no back or forth, and only the most basic of techniques (elemental punches/kicks) being used. Korra literally defeats Amon with her new airbending punches/kicks.
2. Amon/Tarrok'ss background came out of nowhere. It wasn't bad, but it was abrupt and looking back only alluded to in one scene in a previous episode (where Amon overcomes Tarroks bloodbending). I'm still confused how blood bending can be used to cut someone off from their bending ability which is left incredibly vague.
3. The whole Korra/Mako relationship thing is kinda... blargh. It seems forced and makes Mako look like a giant asshat.
4. The most egregious example of rushed scenes is the very end where Korra gets her abilities back due to "hitting rock bottom and connecting to the spirit world". Still it was nice to see Aang and the other Avatars again albeit briefly. That should of been a whole episode (the first of the next season) in my opinion.
5. Tarroks character takes a 180 personallity turn. From powerhungery to a remorseful good guy. He goes from being willing to take out the Avatar and worm his way into power to suddenly realizing that this is exactly the opposite of what he wanted his entire life.

1. I like how they humanize all three primary villains (Amon, Tarrok, and The Lieutenant). None of them are actually pure evil and all of them do what they do for very human reasons.
2. The resolution between Tarrok and Amon in the boat at the end was very dramatic. I was not expecting something that dark in anything with the demographic that TLK contains. Until he placed his hand over the gas tank I thought he was simply going to stun/knock out his brother.
3. Iroh and Naga fight scenes where probably the best since the first two episodes.
4. The whole 2 seconds you see Bumi
5. Seeing Korra enter the Avatar state was cool but would of been better if it was during a fight scene. I was expecting it to occur right when Amon was taking her bending.
6. The music and animation quality were good as it has been through the entire season.

I loved it. But I heard that this is only half of Book 1. There's still more to go. And I think it's kind of obvious that we haven't seen the last of Amon. So I don't think we need to worry about this being rushed or plot threads not being properly wrapped up. They're not supposed to be.
The only thing that I think I could say that put me off was the voice of Iroh. It was cool to hear Zuko's voice actor back but his voice sounds way too young for the new character.

I reckon we've seen the last of Amon, unless somehow massive fiery explosions are survivable to a person who looked like he knew what was about to happen and didn't try to stop it. So yeah, season 2 is probably going to be another story that would make Korra a "legend", because stopping a revolution isn't really as legend worthy as finally ending a bloody 100 year war.Scrustle said:
I thought it was alright, my only two complaints are amon's back story was a bit tactless and the deus ex machina ending other then that everything was pretty good. All in all a very good show 7.5/10, not as good as the last airbender but still one of the best cartoons around.
BTW does anyone know if there is going to be a second season? if so when?

Loved it the ending of naotok and tarrlokk surprized the hell out of me but good ending makes me wonder whats planed for next seson
There is, and it'll probably be out next year at the same time give or take a month or two. But yeah, I wouldn't say this had the lasting impact on me as say MLP:FiM or Adventure Time did, but it was definitely a very good show. I'll probably watch the second season when it's out, but I won't really be as excited as I will be when season 3 of MLP or season 4 of Adventure Time comes out.Orange12345 said:
I thought the reason the 1st season was cut in half was that they were scrapping the show?ToastiestZombie said:
If they do choose to continue, I'd like them to do 3 more 'books' but not with water/earth/fire. I think they should stay lost to Korra outside of the Avatar state. I'd prefer the three books be Metal/Lightning/Blood, the three offshoots of the elemental bends (I'd have suggested sandbending but I'm quite torn as to whether that's derived from Air or Earth bending), if they do it that way then Korra isn't just repeating Aang's path but creating a new one.
To those complaining about the fact that Korra was able to air bend when her bending was taken away. I see it like this. Spirit Bending and Amon's bloodbending achieve the same results but by going about a different way. When a spirit bender takes away your bending he removes the spirit from the bender, whereas Amon's bloodbending damages the connection to the spirit and the bender. Basically spirit bending removes the heart bloodbending clogs up the arteries and veins. Korra had yet to create a connection to her airbending and thusly those connections where did not exist for Amon to sever them and when her other bending was removed her body in an emergency situation connected to her airbending for the first time. That is the way I see it though I could be completely wrong however.
It was pretty good.
I think he used blood building to "corrupt" the flow of chi, making it impossible to bend. The reason air bending got away is because it's "spiritual" and not quite as... solid I guess.
Yeah, Mako seems to be jerk, but whatever. The background for Tarlokk and Amon wasn't bad, but Tarlokk becoming what he "despised" when he was younger seemed abit... off. I also knew the past Avatars would restore her bending, so that didn't worry me too much. 'Stache man coming in and attacking Amon, however, was a nice touch.
