Hmm, not a bad ending overall, though I didn't particularly care for Mako and Korra's relationship. I would've preferred it if Aang had just appeared but not given Korra her bending back, still I'm okay with it as well. Finally, while I also would've liked to see Amon and Tarlock get a chance at a fresh start, if they have to die, that was probably the best way to do it.

And thank goodness for less Gaang. I'm slightly put off that Sokka and Toph aren't going to be featured heavily, but if it means I get to see less of Katara, I'm all for this sequel. |

Mako is an ass and series don't show it. And people wonder why there are so many douchbags and blind around. Korra losing her bending is sad but as you yourself said, others had it worse. Actually these last 2 episodes killed all the sympathy I had for Korra =/ Bolin became almost none existent after his episode with Korra.

^She still had air in her disposal while 100s of bender had nothing left at all. Now that's called hand chopping.
Ling lost everything she ever had. To her bending was a link to mother as well because of the feel through feet and she was robbed of it! She lost her job too. Has she locked herself up? No, she is still the same. Korra lost fire, water and earth bending but she gained the rarest bending: Air. And she got Mako who cares and supports her. She still can bend and do most of stuff she used to. Air bending allows her to create air wacums, it bursts, it flows... it is a big mix of other elements Asami lost her whole family and boyfriend about whom she cared a lot. She lost everything without gaining anything in return and she never once complained and was worried about others Korra included. At least she has some friends. Sorry, but no matter how you look at it, Korra's lose was not the greatest. Just because she is a main chara doesn't mean she has to get everything and others nothing. That's why I didn't like the finale. Yes it was a shock factor at first which is understandable but I have a feeling that it would have lasted for a long time if Aang did not step in. Korra was always over the top with being an Avatar, letting her cool her head down would've been a good lesson and would allow her to actually develop and relate to others and as Avatar it is important.

I expected Amon taking Korra's bending away, but at least 3 times, for water, earth and fire, but he did it all at one, okay.
I really did like how she manages to air bend once she was driven into a corner and had no other elements to rely on, it follows the principle of air bending pretty well (consider all possibilities and then choosing the optimal one). Mako is a waste of space, he dumps Korra for Azami, then dumps her for Korra. If only Korra rejected him in the last episode, the ending would rise by one star.

The only thing I'm still curious about is the real nature of Amon's ability. I get that he's somehow bloodbending, but if Korra could still airbend, what exactly did Amon do?
If it's just a matter manipulating the flow of chi, as someone previously mentioned, then Korra shouldn't be able to airbend at all. |

It's like the cabbage cart -> Cabbage Corp. I'm not sure that meme would be as good if they decided to tell us the story of how that actually occurred. I'm also hoping Azula did get to move on with her life. She didn't get an epilogue like almost every other character did at the end of the Last Airbender, which made me so sad. She'd also be a great choice for somehow telling the story of the mother, because that relationship was quite possibly one of the key reasons Azula turned out the way she did. When they were on that beach retreat, and having that heart to heart talk among the four of them, how could you not feel yourself go 'aww' over her comments regarding her mother? I always felt far more sympathy for her, than Zuko. Lastly, she may have gone off the deep end at the end, but there's no way she'd have been content sitting in some jail for the rest of her life. As for Korra herself (not the show), I think she was a fine character. Almost great even. Which is completely separate from my opinions on how they ended the first season, or why after showing such savvy and spunk when she first encountered the two brothers in the whole girl-meets-boy(s) sort of way, she turned into such a simpering idiot over Mako. What is it about chiseled-faced heroes? Maybe he dies during the offseason, and we get Korra back as the strong, self-confident woman who doesn't need Mako's strong arms. On a less(?) serious note, Katara did end up with Ang, rather than Zuko, so there's always hope they don't end up pairing Mako the stereotypical superman figure with Korra. A little hope.

They wont kill Mako off screen. He's actually pretty popular with the kids, they don't want to make Korra emo, and he's handsome so yeah... If anyone would die off screen it would be Bolin or Asami and even that's unlikely. They have no reason to kill any of the main cast off before Book 2 starts so why would they even bother?

Nah, we have the couple. Zutara fans were pissed enough. The produces prob don't want to piss them off more. That angry, crying kid on YouTube prob sent chills up the producers' spine. They don't need to have parents not letting their kids watch the show for fear that incident repeating itself after an episode. Quote:

Korra's self image is tied up with being the Avatar. Remember she is a teenager. Girls her age can sulk worse than that over missing a concert. |

I know what it feels like to lose something important that keeps you away from your dream. My dream got crashed at the age of 14 and my whole life became different because of that. I'm not able to do most of things I was comfortable with because of injury. And by now I had more than one of those and under went 4 surgeries by now. Am waiting for 5th now -_- I do still have my depression moments sometimes. Quote:

Probably because she appears later in the series than Korra+brothers. Though she becomes part of the main cast at the start of the war.
Now I'm curious how they will resolve the Korra-Mako-Azami triangle, as Korra+Mako are practivally a couple now. Will Azami turn to the dark side later in the story as revenge?

^That actually wouldn't make much sense at this point.
I prefer for her to move on and find someone more worthy if we will get romance again. And after some consideration, Iroh seems like a perfect choice right now. Quote:
Asami actually was far more involved in all the action and drama than Bolin. He became almost none existent. Hope that'll change and that focus will move to everyone else now in season 2, Asami included. It would be a waste to kick her out just because she is not with Mako. Would make her look used more than she already was.

I think the implication they were going for may be that Asami was only in the main cast because she was Mako's girlfriend.
Personally I don't think that has to be true. There's plenty that could be done with Asami in the series still. |

I agree that it wouldn't make sense... so far Asami has been nothing but reasonable and level headed about everything... it wouldn't make sense for her to suddenly lose all of that and focus on revenge. As for the love triangle, I also hope that Asami moves on (I think she deserves better than Mako... and honestly, I think Korra does too...) though I'm not much of a shipper so I can't say that it's high on my list of concerns regarding this series. ^^;
I think Asami will continue being a main character... I don't know how exactly she would leave the group when she has nowhere else to go...
