The Legend of Korra Discussion Thread.

This. Even a Team Avatar ending would be more appropriate. The reason Aang & Katara ended ATLA is because it showed Aang completing his true goal: which was winning the heart of Katara. Katara also had more of a connection to Aang than Asami to Korra, as she was there with most of the major moments in his life.

Hell Korra sitting down than having a 2-5 minute flashbacks of her events during the 3 seasons would be much better than this ending.

Great finale. Was it as good as ATLA finale? Hard to say, as they both functioned differently.

Really I would had much rather liked the idea someone suggested earlier with Korra regaining her connection to her past lives and Aang congratulating her on becoming the Avatar she always wanted to be. It would have been fitting and give closure to Korra's story, but we instead got the whole "will they, won't they?" ending with her and Asami which just undermined the ending simply because it took away from the happy ending due to the conservatory it's now causing.

When ATLA ended, we got closure on everyone's story. We saw Team Avatar enjoying their victory, everyone with who they were suppose to be with and we finally see Aang and Katara find happiness in each other. It was the perfect ending to an amazing series. And while LoK has been a great series on its own, the ending just didn't hold up to that ending.

It was a good season ending, not a good series ending.

Honestly the writers are gonna deny them being a thing and the scene is sort of ambiguous that they could get away with it. It's a major fan pleaser if nothing else

I liked it as an ending for a season but for for the series? Man... I feel like so many questions weren't answered!

And I bet Warkiller is upset with never knowing about Sokka and Suki :P

I agree. It's just that fangirls and fanboys are really crazy so they see things differently

We'll never know... we'll never know... T__T

But seriously, the series final was fine for me all the way up until the end. My biggest issue is that, due to the controversy that it's caused now, has taken away from the seriousness of the ending as it's now become more about Korra and Asami rather than about Korra's journey as the Avatar.

Hopefully we'll get some comics that follow Korra and the gang following Book 4 similar to how they currently have comics following Aang and Team Avatar after Book 3. I would be a nice way to answer some of the questions hard-core fans have been wanting the answers to since Book 1.

If Korra and Asami actually kissed would it have broke the internet?

He's not the only one

Ha! All shall burn before the canon! Asami x Korra, the only pairing. The true pairing.

@the_legendary_supersaiyan_hulk: Christmas came early for you didn't it ?:p

@humanrocket: Hehehehe = 3=

So hyped they actually went through with it lol

@the_legendary_supersaiyan_hulk: I don't really see it that way. It's another Inception ending. You either see it one way or the other. I'm with the just good friends side.

@humanrocket: Blasphemy! D:<

@the_legendary_supersaiyan_hulk: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@humanrocket: Haters gonna hate~

@the_legendary_supersaiyan_hulk:

Yeah, I think this is what bothered me too

Er, let's be real for a second.

It was meant to be subtle so that people could construe it as a friendship. If you saw it completely differently, then the makers succeeded. However, the reality is that Korra blushed when Asami complimented her earlier in the season(when's the last time you saw a girl blush when a friend compliments her?) and that rather noticeably combines with the ending--which mirrored ATLA--of them framed the same way Varrick and Zhu Li were framed for their wedding.

The fact that that makers seemed to make it a point to eliminate any confusion about her having a relationship with Makko--"I will always follow you into battle", not a single ounce of romance, but that's the sort of comradery-esque statement one makes to a good friend or brother---right before that end scene suggests it through juxtaposition....The fact that right before that Makko was telling Prince Wu that he won't set him up with Korra also suggests that the question of romance was underlying those last couple minutes.

....Let's be real. It is essentially canon. Creators probably wanted to start their own Avatar-esque legacy by having the first non-completely-hetero Nickelodeon strong female main character.

This^ and I fully support it. i thought it was a great ending.

See, I enjoyed scenes like this

So...did they ever address the dark Korra reflection that kept popping up and causing her to lose??

Also, Korra pulled a Naruto and used Talk no Jutsu, connecting with her enemy, by showing they have something in common and showing them the error of their ways.

And, ugh, let the Korrasami shipping go into over drive.

Pretty much something along the lines of spiritual-ish PTSD, she couldn't get past reliving that moment and it was blocking her spiritual connection, until she worked through it with Zaheer. At least that's how I saw it

Oh it is

And on a random note

Isn't this a good thing though? It shows how much Korra has developed from the hot head character that would solve their problems by punching people and using their bending? (unless you were impying that it's a good thing then you can ignore this comment).

As far as the Dark Korra, I think it's meant to show a reflection of how Korra sees herself after the fight. Like Katara said about the mind being a power tool, Korra's mind was the one that was blocking her from going into the Avatar state and that dark reflection was a manifestation of the block. That's how I'm looking at it.

@humanrocket: Oh, I'm not complaining about the Talk no jutsu, I just found it funny.

This. People read too much into things.

The entire point of the ending is that it's ambiguous. It can be construed either way depending upon on how you look at it, but there is no definite answer....and that's the beauty of it. People aren't reading too much into it because it was designed for people to interpret how they wish.

Also, they left a few questions unanswered.

You're never going to be able to answer every question....they did an awesome job of storytelling and it came out great.

Yeah, but that's pretty much guaranteed. ATLA did too

True. But the one question that will bug me until the end of time is what happened to Zuko's mom!

It's all in the comics

@arcus: Wow that's quite a few to read. Will it bother you kind sir to tell me what happen? :D

You're too lazy to read it for yourself? Obviously you don't care THAT much.

Umm...it's kinda complicated

It's like an HOUR AND A HALF!!

Never mind then, don't want to waist your time.

Here goes an hour and a half of my life...

You'll see, there's not really a simple explanation

Can we just take a moment to appreciate this demonstration of waterbending from Korra?

@arcus: IKR!!

Just to know about the people implying that they're lesbo/bi, why or how do do you imply this. I mean is it because they're holding hadns?(cause heterosexual girls do that all the time). I mean I'm just curious how you guys come to this conclusion.

I don't think Korrasami is a thing. Maybe they are at most bi curious, but I think the show could have done a little better with that bi curiousity trait, instead of just having one blushing because of a compliment earlier this season. So, it feels somehow like male writters make female characters out of the blue lesbians just because they dig that, hate it when female sexuality is shown that way, that happens too often, and implies that women all have a homosexual tendency. Don't get me wrong, I have no issues with homosexuality, I just prefer characters with a more consitent sexual orientation.

I think the reason people are dissatisfied with the Korrasami ship is because it just feels forced, like having a homosexual couple for the sake of "being inclusive/progressive"..

It feels forced and that's why it shouldn't be there. She just goes away with Asami, no good bye's no helping to rebuild the earth kingdom, after she had to proof she was still relevant, she is just going to run away... sorry but I'm really disappointed.

Also, a better ending would be Korra reconnecting with her past lives or talking to Aang.

I think with the problem with this series finale is that the series didn't pick up until Book 3 so there wasn't much of an emotional connection. Books 1 & 2 suffered in quality.

Haters gonna hate. Doesn't matter either way, I'm on cloud freaking nine.

You can't fight the shippers:(

Man did I hate that ending. Terrible and Predictable

@deranged_midget: I just heard about korrasami but even ign reviewer brought up that scene scene

So many questions left unanswered!

Didn't mind the Korrasami but they should have put more time into it if they wanted to go that route and not just rush it.

Where the hell is the montage of what happened to the characters? I need closure!
