    Spoilers for the finale (in other words, if you're waiting till next week, don't click this >.>):
    Spoiler: show

    And of course, Korra kills the Avatar Cycle.. Not sure why the writers decided to include that aspect. I mean it sets up a new age or whatever, but presumably the cycle is going to start again (with Korra as the new first Avatar), so it really doesn't feel like it was necessary. I guess it's to give the series a break from Aang, but everyone liked seeing Aang (I think?). And now she just doesn't have the wisdom of all her past lives.. I guess that could be a problem later?

    On that note, it was nice seeing Tenzen finally resolve his issues with being Aang's son. I honestly was expecting Jinorra to become the new light spirit or give up her life to revive Raava, so it was a nice surprise seeing her survive.

    For the most part, the battles were good, but not as good as Aang vs Ozai. IMO the best was when they returned to the real world and were battling. And then Unalaq became a giant.. I honestly could have done without the giant spirit battle seeing as it felt like it didn't add much to the battle. And for that matter, why Republic City? I guess so Varick could break out and be relevant in Books 3 and 4, but apart from that, didn't feel like it was necessary to have Unalaq attack there.

    Oh, and next time harmonic convergence occurs though, doesn't that mean that Vaatu will be born from (or exist within) the Avatar, and if it escapes, then it can merge with another human to give them control of the four elements?


    Yeah.. I think I'm gonna watch it again now..

    Got a feeling

    Spoiler: show
    Book 4 end will just be about ending the avatar cycle forever or some shit. Got that vibe from these final episodes.

    And now **SPOILERS** below:

    Spoiler: show


    Edit: I only watched episode 13, I are silly.

    SERIOUSLY!!! THAT'S THE FINALE. GOD DAMMIT! WHY? I hate cliff hangers. *fume*

    Also, @Serra:

    Vatuu didn't give Unalaq the power to wield multiple elements, he can only ever bend water or whatever element of the person/thing he inhabits. It was only because of Wan visiting all the Lion Turtles that he was able to bend all the elements and now that they are gone. Korra will hypothetically be the last person to be able to wield all elements.

    I know I'm not a mod, and I'm always for the "if you haven't seen this week's episode, don't come into the thread" mentality, but seeing as the episode hasn't "officially" aired, probably should be using spoiler tags people..

    Also argued that it would set up for books 3 and 4 and that the Dark Avatar would have access to all the elements, so let's not act prophetic..

    The reason I mention that is not to be a personal attack, but more to highlight the disappointment with the Dark Avatar (calling it the Dark Avatar, not anti-Avatar since it did not feel like an opposite of the Avatar). Unalaq only used water during his first fight with Korra, and after that he seemed to rely purely on Vaatu's energy and those weird vine powers. Admittedly, Wan said he wasn't like other people, and I think him merging so cleanly with Raava was a 1/1 million chance, and so maybe it was meant to highlight that part. I mean, it did look like Unalaq was absorbed by Vaatu's power/essence after beating Raava rather than merging with him. But yeah, watching it the second time, the final battle really bothered me. It felt like it wasn't about that Avatar as the person in control of four elements, balance between the nations, yada yada yada, but the Avatar as a vessel for the Light Spirit.

    Spoilers for the finale and such, don't click, etc.

    Spoiler: show
    I think people are looking to deep into the 'ending the avatar cycle completely' thing, though I guess that'd be a good way to end the whole 'Avatar exists' series in general. I dunno, have we seen anything about what Book 3 or 4 will be called? I just don't see how they'd want to say the "Avatar Cycle" as a whole would be gone. Heck, I don't think her past lives are..totally gone. Who knows. They have deus ex machina for other shit (like Jinora) anyway, so nothing really stops them, LOL.

    Either way, going to definitely watch it again next week in HD on my TV because holy hell both episodes were epic and fun as hell. Not..as epic as Ozai vs Aang, I agree, but that's because.. it combined the Zuko and Azula fights as well and were just outstanding one on ones, while this outside of Unoderp and Korra, also featured Mako/Bolin/the siblings and..the other siblings fighting a ton of spirits. EITHER WAY.. still really fun, and did make me forget the earlier portions of the season where Mako was bleh and Korra was a bitch. Good stuff!


    GOOD STUFF.

    That finale was awesome.

    Korra pretty much recreating the avatar cycle, spirits and humans living together, and the Mako/Korra shit finally ends. S3 has a lot of potential.

    Finale was hype. The impact wasn't as high as ATLA season finales (Siege of the North, defeat at Ba Sing Se, Ozai vs Aang) but it was satisfying to bookend this up and down season. Kinda wish the writers sacrificed Jinora but I suppose we all get Happy End instead. Avatar vs spirit Korra end fight was meh. The actual fight in the spirit world had such an epic vibe to it.

    In regards to this:
    Spoiler: show
    Yeah.. I still don't think the Mako/Korra shit will actually be over, but who knows. I mean, maybe this is their way of saying "Here, we gave the Zuko-ish/Katara-ish stuff a college try, it didn't work, now let's move onto the real thing" for those weird Zuko/Katara fangirls/boys out there, LOL. I hope it's over though, I really do, because god that drama was silly.

    Still, I could see her bringing back the actual Avatar Cycle.. we'll have to see. Pumped to see what the book title for book three is, though.

    First..thank you for that gif. SO GOOD OH GOD.

    As for the spoiler..
    Spoiler: show
    Finale was hype indeed. The end of all three seasons of ATLA were beyond epic, Season 1 of Korra though was.. eh. I mean it was okay, had an emotional impact (dat suicide/murder on Nick though? like wow), but Season 2 felt more emotional than Season 1 while still not measuring up to ATLA. Giant fight was eh..though Jinora's appearance was cool, and loved the mom's reaction + the siblings LOL. The fight in the spirit world, though.. too good.


    Either way, can has more korra pls. watching next week.

  17. #1697

    Korra should definitely keep the hair down it looks better.

    I wonder what the problems will be in the other books because it doesn't seem like it could get much bigger than the end of the world/Vaatu.

  18. #1698

    If you're not from the US you probably can't watch that link (since it directs you to the terrible .co.uk version) for the finale but if you google it you'll find streams of it.

    All the Avatars had to learn how to bend the other elements. It wouldn't be surprising that Unalaq didn't know how to use the other elements as he's been just a Water Bender for 40+ years.

    I have no problems with him only having access to Water Bending (that makes a lot of sense). My problem was how he abandoned bending for energy beams in the last episode.

    Well, like Korra said, it's a new world. There could be all sorts of new problems now that spirits and humans are interacting. Doesn't have to be a "we're gonna destroy/rule the world" problem -- just look at last season~
