Good point.
I dunno, but I really loved when they used these slow down FX in this finale. They used it in another moment I think (with Zaheer?) I forget. But it was bad ass.
I'll be honest, the overall fight was engrossing and epic, this moment didn't hit me as hard as it should have. I went back and re-watched it and was like HOLY FUCK. The entire sequence was ridiculous.
That was a great finale, everything was great. And the fight was awesome,
Also, while I knew P'li was tall it never occurred to me how much until she kissed Zaheer. It was like he had to stand on his toes to kiss her XD
Korra finally pulling some amazing stuff in avatar state.

I've been trying to find an image of the fish eye lens of Shinji in Evangelion with the crazy eyes as the scene in Korra with her reminded me of that. But it's a pain.

I think we shouldn't forget that Ghazan
That's hardcore.
literally chose to kill himself instead of getting captured again.

Amazing insight, thanks for this!
Might want to spoiler that. But
I agree, it was pretty sad. I really liked him, seemed like a cool guy.

Ghazan: You'll never take me alive!
Bolin: Then we'll bury you.

"If I'm going down you're going down with me!"
*starts cave-in*
*Bolin saves Mako and himself instantly*
Ghazan: shit should've thought that one through since they were right next to the e-

It could be me, but I really felt that scene had been edited a bit.

I never got why the White lotus did not help Korra capture Zaheer,didnt seem to know about him or xai bau,or why the Red Lotus wanted to free Vaatu at all,
Really good analysis of the final moment.
Although I would add, I actually do think Korra is happy that the air nation was saved, and that Jinora is the first master since her dad. I think she's conflicted in this moment though (because of what the Reddit post outlines), and also just the overall suffering and what she's had to give up to achieve this goal.
Korra has always been the avatar that struggles for relevancy. The world is changing drastically, and as it moves to a modern society with technology and modern governments, the Avatar's role is becoming increasingly more problematic (I wouldn't say obsolete). It's basically a "where do I fit into all of this" kind of situation.

Eh seems similar implications as Jet in ATLA, and he ended up dead. Surviving a cave in which he intended to die? Only reason I could see him alive is if they had a use for him. And unless Bolin needs a teacher to learn how to lavabend, and he's willing to teach, he had his time. So yeah he's dead Jim.
We wouldn't get a date for a long time. We didn't even get a date for Book 3 until two weeks before it aired! Granted, that kind of release wasn't normal (and was possibly moved up because the leaks). But past seasons were announced like 2 months before they aired I think.
Someone else can probably do a better ETA than me, so I won't attempt a guess. But I can't imagine we would get a date for at least half a year.
Producers said he was dead I think. I mean, they can always change their mind in between seasons. But I don't see why they would bother.
Even worse: one week before it aired.
For those complaining about the baldness, how else did you expect they'd put a tattoo on her? They'll probably do a time skip and she'll have hair again. I mean look at the female air bender avatar plus they've already said they won't follow everything exactly as the old Air Nomads
This is what I came here to post. I was expecting her to come out looking like Yangchen, but I guess that's probably how she got her tattoo as well, then just led the back half of her hair grow back in.

Could still be relevant to the whole
Red Lotus is still out there bit, but it would be kinda lame if he survived and broke Zaheer out again with a rehash (likely won't happen. If anyone is coming back it's probably Zaheer again.
Damn, forgot it was that crazy! I think they usually announce seasons at Comic Con...July right? Granted, I have no idea how Book 4 will play out, given that it could be digital only.
I didn't even think about that. Damn. They've had death on the show quite a lot now, they should just execute him lol

If I remember correctly, they did like some extravaganza with the final half of the season that was awesome. There was an episode a day from Monday to Thursday, then on Friday they played the whole 4 part finale. It was amazing. Granted it took like a year from the first half to get to that part.

Constantly pester him I guess so he wont be able to concentrate
they burned 10 episodes in 5 days. nick couldn't get rid of the show quick enough.
The power levels in this show are completely out of whack. It's just so ridiculous that Zaheer is that good in that short of a time frame.
Other than that, really good finale on multiple levels. First season that was actually legit good.
Fuck, I wish they had gotten into their grove much earlier as S1 and S2 are a blight on the show.

Let me tell you about Guru Lahima
I'm pretty sure you need to have zero earthly bounds as Zaheer pointed out which would explain the very nomadic lifestyle of the Airbenders. Still doesn't explain the rarity as you'd imagine that a nomad born without ever seeing their parents would have no earthly bounds but whatevs.
Believe it or not, the time it took for TLA Book 3 to release was shorter than the time it took for Korra Book 2 to release.
Also, look what I just found...
Henry Rollins is just as despicable as the character he voices.

Probably most Nomads still had friends, or even father figures like Gyatzo was to Aang, only Guru Lahima was crazy or lonely enough to attempt it.

It was the same week as the premiere of The Dark Knight. I remember that day vividly. My aunt died a couple of hours after the finale.
Oh fuck. I thought that was going somewhere different. ;_;

Zaheer is fine if not overpowered for the sake of being a strong villain, but I have no love for Rollins.
Robin Williams loved Cowboy Bebop and gave me joy that many other actors never could. He voiced Genie yo. Genie.
If I see him Rollins, you best believe I'll be hatin'
edit: Chariot could you post that OH YOU face of Opal again? I want to save that.

Wow, that ending.
I actually feel for Korra and even before reading the Reddit link about it, it made sense when I saw it. She is realizing that the time of the Avatar is coming to an end.

They weren't necessarily better animated but probably more interesting in terms of skills as the good guys were masters of their domain while the good guys here are more of decent fighters with skills. Toph was especially entertaining to see fight, but so was Zaheer with his airbending breakdancing.
I still remember the days when people bitched that the choreography of season 1 was junk compared to A:TLA.
Not only is
an unresolved thing, but so is
Just something to think about.
Yeah, I only recently watched a Toph montage, and from the looks of it she alone would probably wreck almost everyone in LoK. Not to mention people like Aang and Azlua. The only LoK fight I can think of that even get's in the same ballpark is
Edit: When it comes to the children of Team Avatar, most of the time Lin seems to be the only one who's a legit good fighter. Tenzin might actually be the most highly-trained of all of them (probably because Aang focused the most training on him), but rarely decides to fight for real.
Edit 2: Where the hell are Sokka's kids/grand kids?
the Earth Kingdom
the spirits invading people's homes problem.

This was a pretty good finale. No deus ex machina saving the day, unless you count
It feels like season one without the horrible love triangle, and the cop out ending.
I still think Jinora's spirits poers are stupid.
Kai is this season's Mako(season 1), if Mako stuck to one girl.
Bolin's making joke all the time got annoying, and I hope he actually sticks with Opal next season.
Asami still feels like wasted potential.
My main desire for season 4 is that team avatar actually feels like a team, assuming they are still the focus. Bolin lava bending helps, but Asami needs something so she can be apart of the climatic battles.
Overall, this season is the closest we have gotten to ATLA quality, and I enjoyed the whole ride. Gives me a bit of hope for the last season.
Edit: Of course I also want to see Sokka's kids. He the only main character who hasn't had his children mentioned.
Bolin Lava Bending, but they were hinting that Bolin was going to step it up all season, so I'm fine with it.
The writing staff finally remembered that Mako could shoot Lightning. Asami actually got to take out a henchman before warming the bench

Uh, Lin & Suyin?
But yeah. Hope Sokkas family makes an intro in S4. Imagine if one of them hooked up with Zukos girl and is now married to the current Fire Lord? Holy balls
