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.

But yeah, another or a couple of episodes more would've done a lot of good. Or just split it over two seasons, but that was Nick's fault, not the writers.

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

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.)

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.
