I wish we did, but we don't.

You... I got my eye on you...

... it's gone. After 12 years of providing us the joy of bending, from the boy frozen in ice for... I-forget-how-many-thousands of years towards the new first Avatar... it's over.

What is there to watch now!?


If only the clip show wasn't "suggested by Nick", I would think the finale would have been granted a 3 parter, giving a few more characters their last appearances. But as it is... it is what it is. Still a splendid finale given to us.

Never. The creators said they're moving on with other projects, Nick barely even supported Korra on TV, and I'm pretty sure Nick owns the IP so the creators can't shop around the Avatar franchise to another channel.

I've always hated shipping but I'll be damned if I didn't love them putting Korra together with Asami. I've seen people complain about this coming out of nowhere. I disagree and think you can easily point to the fact Asami was the only one Korra wanted to contact when she was away recovering at the beginning of the season.

The action was great although I'm a little shocked none of the main characters bit the dust. I definitely thought Mako was a goner.

Pretty sad that this is probably the end of the Avatar universe on the screen.

My love for korra was up and down like a roller coaster. At first I was simply okay with her and when season 2 came, she became my least favorite thing in the show but she got better mid way and by season 4, she became my favorite character. I'm happy she got a good ending.

I think any ship is good as long it's subtle and bring out a good sense of character dynamic instead of just making it a goal of conquest. cough*Apritello*cough.

I almost wish that we could see the relationship of them against the world or going this fantastic journey together. I wish all shows have the balls to let their characters be in a relationship and maybe even let them break up just show "hey what you know? The world didn't end with us."

I was almost piss that no one die. I know because of censors but seriously, they get away with have some background characters being completely vaporized by the death beam and leaving nothing left but a scorch mark on the floor and maybe a wall or two.

"Remember, kids you can't censor it if you don't see the body. I am right guys?"

I really hope those two guys do something that's not on Nickelodeon. They can leave that channel to rot on spongebob for all I care.

I now honestly think they purposely made Korra herself somewhat annoying in Books 1 and 2, just so we could see her grow. I think most people didn't start to really like her till Book 3, and she continued to improve and show growth in Book 4.

Although to be fair almost all the annoying Korra moments had to do with the stupid love triangle, as well as Korra talking back to Tenzin and yelling at everyone who tried to help her.

No sh!t Sherlock, that's like the very definition of a character arc! You can't judge it till you've seen how it resolves.

But they didn't have to make her annoying at the beginning. Many characters are likeable from the start like most of the original Avatar cast.

It also seems like they purposely wanted people to find Korra annoying at times. Remember all those temper tantrums she threw at everyone, including Tenzin, just for trying to help her?

She didn't mellow down till Book 3 started.

So finally watched the finale and it was a great way to end the series and franchise, but I am sad to see an end to an era. This was probably the last great cartoon.......


I thought a main character was suppose to die this whole time I guess I mis-read.
Now my last thought.....Now I don't know if its just me or Cybercubed constant shipping theories, but is it me or did they make it look like Korra and Asami ended up together lol
I seriously doubt that was the message, but I am actually glad it showed how strong friendship can be.

No, I have no idea what you are talking about. sarcastic wink.

[CyberCubed]

Korra/Asami's interactions throughout the series were mostly platonic sisterly friendship...but the writers decided to turn a crack ship into canon in the last episode to appease online shippers.

This is probably the first series I've ever seen where a lesbian ship went from being a fan-made theory to actually canon at the end of the show. Even more bizarre because both Korra and Asami were portrayed as exclusively straight at the start of the show.

Only showing attraction to men doesn't mean they're "exclusively straight". Bisexual people exist, and it Korra and Asami are bisexual.

Also, you're misusing the word "crack ship". Korrasami was never a crack ship.

Agreed. A crack ship is something that would required illegal substances to happen hence the word "crack". And they're really funny in concept.

Like Amon and....Granny Toph. Yeah that.

[CyberCubed]

So the creator flat out confirmed Korra/Asami is canon and that they are bisexual and in love, he wrote a pretty big post about it on his tumblr and goes into detail about how they were able to write it in a kids show:

Mike DiMartino (other co-creator) also wrote about how the spirit portal is a symbolic representation of their new romantic feelings for each other!

Also loved their comment about people calling them out for 'catering to the fans'. These guys deserve much more recognition honestly! They're some of the most thoughtful producers I've ever seen.

[CyberCubed]

Yeah, both creators posted on it now, the first two posts on that tumblr link.

Still wish Asami and Korra had more scenes together thought for better build up.

[Redeemer]

I am honestly absolutely shocked. I wonder if they would have done the same ending if they were on tv or maybe this is a another reason why they removed korma from tv all together.

I really wish Zuko would have gotten to see his uncle again though....

I'm surprised you all can't seem the epic levels of smug that are radiating off of me right now. I'm sure they're damn near visible from space, I'm so smug.
