It wasn't on the same level as ATLA finale but it was still great!
I love the growth they did with the character and how everyone got to leave on a big note.

The way they handled Mako, Korra. Asami was well done too. And I'm loving the outrage some idiots are showing on the net.

The Last Airbender didn't have a giant robot or lesbians though.

I gonna go ahead and say it though: they should've foreshadowed the bisexuality a bit more, everything up to that point was completely within the realm of platonic friendship.

It could be extrapolated quite well when thinking back though.

In S1&2 they were always more comfortable around each other.
In season 3 they really bonded a lot. Asami took care of Korra when she was injured and once she left to the water tribe korra only wrote to her.

When she came back Asami was the 1st person she went to see and Korra blushed when Asami complimented her hair.

It's done in a way where you can imagine them becoming super close due to all this or falling in love. And since female friendship is more common in entertainment (barely) it feels it's made to push for a same sex love. Would this be the 1st for a kids's show?

I remember them dating the same guy at the same time.

And the whole time their relationship with the same guy was always very awkward. The times korra and Asami were together were not.

Though that's the best you can get looking back that far. S3 they were obviously just friends and there was no plan to do more probably. Or just the slightest maybe at most. But the 3 years of history they gave in S4 was where all the budding relation could have taken place.

And by the end of the series that's still what it looks like. A growing relationship. Nothing that's been taken even to a kiss stage yet.

Books 3 and 4 were in production at the same time so if they had it planned, it had to have been since the beginning of Book 3, which explains why Korra and Asami were suddenly so friendly. When people said that it will lead to lesbians, I thought they were seeing what they wanted to see, but color me surprised.

To their credit, they gave up on the relationship drama after Book 2. Now the only drama we have is online.

Two years ago I wouldn't have said it, but I will miss this show.

To be fair Asami has always been one of the most mature characters in the show. In Season 1 when she found out Korra and Mako were getting together she didn't blame Korra for it she actually got mad at Mako instead. It's really no wonder that after getting over him they become fast friends.

The show was bad BECAUSE of Nick (and it wasn't horrible, S2 is the only really bad one and it still had some good stuff)

Nick signed the team on for a 1 time 13 ep special. They also did not like the idea of a female lead. So they fit everything they could into it. The romantic triangle wasn't pretty in S1 but for what S1 was I thought it was a great way to see the world 100 years-ish later.

Then after they were almost finished with S1 they were told they'd have 3 more seasons. They didn't have a lot of time at that point to write S2. Which is VERY easy to tell.
For S3 and 4 they finally had ample time to make it but then the early released spanish(?) eps came out and Nick panicked or something. I forget the details here. But they pushed S3's release date up with very little advertising. Then took it off tv completely. Only airing it online.

Then on top of that they cut their budget in mid production in S4 giving us that recap episode.

S1 was strong. S2 was quite bad. But S3 and 4 are beautifully crafted despite Nick.

Considering it's a sequel and all the bull crap creative had to deal with it's a surprise we got an ending at all. Let alone a show that turned out so well.

Well I liked Book 2 more than Book 1, it had more action and intrigue to compensate for the relationship drama. And at least 3 eps with no Korra at all.

Long Forgotten and Hateable Asshole

the kids show was a joke, if MGbenz blew up his tampoon, he forgot how p'li had her head blown and everyone freaked out because of that

anyway, the series itself was weak, its mosty because of both nick and the producer's fault, and now nick will probably bury the series due to the low ratings, along with the great number of hipster ATLA fanboys telling them that LOK sucked

i think it would be better if Korra went deathball like Aang and died later due to the effort to destroy Kuviratron, and then later the new avatar being born, and part 3 would be The World War II

Nazi benders would be awesome

world war is the first avatar was all about. how about a future show that the avatar is the enemy like a cult or something that controls the whole world and the hero/heroine doesn't have any bending.

Maybe they could be in space and the Avatar could firebend suns into planets that don't worship him/her.
