    they have a whole 'nother season to break this romance

    gonna keep crossing my fingers
    NO

    NO MORE ROMANCE

    Apparently 2 will be longer than 1. They'll probably have more romance.

    So, Asami/Bolin or Asami/Iroh??

    Anything good to happen to Asami. please. I wonder how she and Korra will get along season 2. What with THE ROMANCE. I'd imagine it would be pretty awkward.

    There ought to be an episode kind of like Toph and Katara's story in Tales of Ba Sing Se where they just hang out or maybe have an adventure

    With a bunch of overacting and slapstick.

    And at the end someone firebends toward the camera and the audience freaks out.

    I want the
    shock rod guy to become active in republic city politics in a legitimate way and become the leader of an active lobby that focuses on equal treatment

    he did the military thing and it didn't work but (aside from being a criminal) there is no reason he can't reach for the goal of equality

    also holy shit the boat scene was so amazing i cannot even wow

    bolin thinks the play is a rousing good time

    mako thinks it could have stood some fleshing out and wasn't a big fan of the romance subplot

    somebody feed me some complaints to scoff at

    I only didn't really like
    the air bending family being captured, okay sure plot fine but really? really?
    and mako very suddenly coming out with loving korra, i would have liked to see a personal revelation first or maybe Asami telling him that he does I dunno
    and there was something else I forget but I'll remember after I hit post

    And literally every character has some kind of family member killed by firebenders.

    She really got kicked around, but she also got really badass, so I call it an even trade.

    The only misstep I thought the finale made was IIroh's voice. I was wary about it from the end of episode 10, but the beginning of the finale was when I went 'okay yeah, this is a problem for me.'

    It just doesn't fit, agreed.

    I don't know whether it's because he actually sounds too young or because I can't divorce his voice from Zuko, but either way it doesn't quite sit right with me.

    You didn't? Yeah, Nickelodeon ordered a second season basically right after they were done writing the first one.

    http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2011/03/08/the-last-airbender-legend-of-korra-the-creators-speak/?KEY
    Nickelodeon had picked up “Korra” for 12 episodes but recently decided to order 14 more shows. “When we first starting talking to Nickelodeon about doing a new series in the ‘Avatar’ world, they asked if we could do shorter arcs—more like a show like ‘24’where there’s a specific villain or challenge for that particular season,” Konietzko says.

    This...

    makes me like this show so much more now

    Honestly I loved the finale, except for Irohs voice, that kept dragging me out of it so much

    iroh's voice didn't really bother me, considering the role the character was filling it seemed fine

    I actually thought that the actor brought enough of a different attitude to the voice that it didn't bother me.

    It's interesting how Episode 6 actually establishes that Amon has been setting up the equalists for years

    It kind of sets up the inequality dynamic in a different light, given that he's been engineering unrest for a long, long time
    That and his real motivations not being much related to equality at all, at least not on a level that matters

    .....he sure never did try to appeal to the homeless, which is interesting but kind of sensible. The homeless in Republic City seem to exist with the same kind of harmony as benders and nonbenders in the original series.

    I didn't think I'd come back to this, but I think a lot of that sense of equality is probably manufactured primarily by Tarrlok and Noatok

    That was pretty much my reaction. Awesome finale to an awesome season. The only thing I can find to complain about from this season is that the the pacing suffered through parts of some episodes b/c of how much they crammed into so few episodes. Pretty minor complaint all things considered.

    of course it is

    been saying this "inequality" is bullshit since before the show even aired

    Ok an important point here
    They managed to make Amon have an ulterior motive without making him a fiend or a proxy.

    Amon isn't completely honest but he does truly believe that Bending is a corrupted influence that needs to be destroyed.

    A lot of people were worried there.

    He's a monster and a hypocrite but I think that helps his characterization so much

    Amon is a much better villain than I would have imagined just from being told what happens in the finale

    Yeah, when I say he isn't a fiend I mean he's not, like, doing it all to make himself king or steal something.

    He's not manipulating the anti-benders for some reason completely unrelated.

    Oh I understand.
    I just think it's interesting that he sees this huge evil in his father, which he internalizes, and then he sees it in everyone that has power - bloodbending is power is control, so all benders must control the lives of others.

    His whole identity, his whole crusade, is vested in that he thinks all benders are his father, and he's so charismatic, so beautiful in his conviction, that others will believe him even if it is not necessarily so

    It was totally off in the first appearance but it was pitch perfect in the finale
