Legend of Korra finale time!

Guys, I see your criticisms and I acknowledge them, and I certainly don't think this was a flawless episode(s), but I loved it. I seriously, seriously loved it, I cried a bit and mostly I just love Korra so much that I just want her to be forever happy.

In conclusion: KORRA. ♥

ETA: Adding my comments to [personal profile] lizbee:It's bothering me a bit that people are saying that Korra didn't earn to get her bending back so easily, that Aang went through so much to become a full fledged avatar. And it's like - It's Aang, would people really think he would want her to suffer for years? Of course he would help her, (his own soul at that) if he could find a chance. That's just the kind of person Aang is.

And in any case - Korra found her airbending to help someone in need. In my books, that's clearly earning to be a complete avatar.

ME TOO!

(My main criticism's with the pacing. One more episode to resolve all that, and I think the other issues would have smoothed themselves out.)

I'm actually reluctant to make my squee post, because I don't want it to be harshed. I've already seen one person say the ending was a nihilistic dystopia, but then, she said the same thing about my own fic last year, so I'm in good company.

Yes, I agree. Aang wouldn't leave Korra bereft, and he wouldn't leave the world without an Avatar. The second she was open to him, he was there.

(That's also in contrast to Roku, who spent a few months sort of lurking and not telling the whole story, too.)

Tumblr made me feel vaguely ashamed of my squee, which just isn't on!

I've decided not to look at Tumblr at all. I stole a glance just after the finale aired, and read that it was misogynistic and problematic, and then I decided I'd had enough.

I don't think Korra really is a fully fledged Avatar yet, though? She's entered the Avatar state once in a time of high distress, just like Aang started doing early on, and I'm sure she has lots of work still to do now that they've got more episodes to make. I thought that scene was just lovely. AAAAANG!
