If Mike and Bryan are ballsy enough to ACTUALLY do Korrasami and Stick with it, LoK would officially surpass TLA in my eyes.
Feel the happyness
Ah, I forgot that bit, I thought they where referring to the very end. That still doesn't look like a happy Korra to me, more like lets smile since the kids can't fully understand the shit I just went through.

I loved that about the ending. It was very ambiguous about how Korra felt and could go either way.
lol that scene would be hilarious.

Only from the perspective of the viewer, which I think was the biggest problem. Korra herself had no reason to think that Unalaq was evil until after the stuff with her dad. And Unalaq was pretty slick about it when dealing with her. Tenzin and Tonraq wanted her protected from the Red Lotus, hence why they sequestered her in the White Lotus compound, but that ended up hurting Korra's training overall, and it left her a bit bitter about it. So when she found out that they had lied about their reasons, of course she was going to go to the one authority figure who actually treated her like she was able to make her own decisions. (At least in her own mind.) And he was also family.
mako exists so that he can be with korra. this entire korra/asami friendship thing is just the writers clearing the air so that we cant say anything when asami is eventually ok with mako and korra becoming a couple.
im so confident in this that i'll wear a mako avatar for a year if they dont get back together
If they did that, it would have me paying more attention, if you know what I mean.

Korra is a completely fictional, if you find her weak or otherwise have any problems with her character, it's because A) the writers suck at their jobs. B) you're projecting your real life insecurities onto a fake character. So stop blaming something fictional for the writers inadequacies and your own problems.
I'll hold you to that.
it would feel like shock value antics, Korra shouldn't have to 'be' with anyone.
this obsession with pairing people off usually does more harm than good (see season 2).
Besides, does Nickelodeon go for that sort of thing?

It'd be very interesting. i'd love for them to try and see if they can build something beautiful and respectful over that pairing.
I'm all for Korrasami, specially if it's over Makorra (that was really insufferable, and made S2 a lot shittier than it what could've been, tbh).
Aang got lucky.
Korra was stupid enough to let it all happen. I blame her just as much as not more for her oversight.
I also have the feeling it wouldn't have happened if Korra didn't have full mastery of the AS so early. It's like the writers were intent on reversing that decision.
Jesus, Korra really can't ever do right according to this thread. Even when villains do villainous things to her, it's her fault because she didn't hear the ominous music cues that accompanied Unalaq.
Exactly. Additionally, Unalaq was the only one presenting her with an actual plan to deal with the rampaging dark spirits. Tenzin just wanted her to go meditate in the air temple in a vague hope that maybe it might give her some insight on how to deal with the spirits. Hopefully before they kill too many southern tribesmen. And her dad didn't want her to do anything with Unalaq because... he says so. He doesn't have any plan of his own but rejects anything Unalaq suggests, not because he knows Unalaq is evil, but because he's blinded by his history with his brother. Meanwhile Unalaq proved he can deal with spirits with his purification waterbending and has an action plan for stopping more dark spirits from showing up. Considering how much Korra is a take-action kind of Avatar, there is no good in-universe reason for Korra to not go with Unalaq at that time.

Legend of korra season 3 episode 3
This season is doing everything I thought they would do in season 1, talking more about mako and bolin's past, knowing whats going on in other regions of the avatar world(knowing that the republic is actually apart of a former ba sing se land) its all the world building that I loved about the avatar series.

Did the armless chick die by lava dude taking down the whole place, or did Mako shock her to death before that? Couldn't tell.
How did Korra get those platinum chains to wrap around Zaheer to throw him to the ground while they were in the tornado?
I assume P'li's death is what allowed Zaheer to "enter the void" and fly, if I'm following correctly?
And speaking of that what exactly are the rules of portraying death in cartoons these days? The show really confused me. Is it because while a lot of the murder is explicit in intent, not showing it explicitly is a way to sort of get away with it? I was half way expecting some one to say "...Fatality." at how combustion lady was offed.
And are the air benders gonna kind of be like Jedi or something in theory now? That'd be dope.
And what of that random metal bender they introduced that saved Korra's dad? What's her deal?
In other news, I quite liked the finale. Neat, yet quite a depressing note to end on. Can't wait to see where they are going.
Last thing:
I'm sad that it's likely that the only time Korra will make the avatar state look cool is in the game Platinum is making. I understand there were a lot of extenuating circumstances in that particular fight against Zaheer given her condition, and I do like when Avatar goes Full DBZ. I wonder if they set out to make the avatar state less of a win button in this iteration of the series.

Probably already posted. But a fan re-edited the ending of this season. It's not perfect (dat LOST music, clunky transitions). But I do think it kind of conveys the ending they were going for a bit better (in terms of how Korra is feeling). I don't think this is great per se (again shoddy execution), but I think the idea of this re-edit is kind of interesting.

Im not expecting that to happen at all tbh.
I'm actually surprised we are going into Book 4 without any kind of romance being developed or built up to. At this point, either they shove a completely new romance out of no where, or they just fall back on old ones (ie. Mako back with Korra, or Mako back with Asami).
Not that I'm complaining, I've always said that this show has been really bad at doing romance. And I think if they would have spent time in Book 3 having little moments, it would have just been distracting (the show is already short on time). But I guess with how heavy it was in Book 1, and the demographics of the show, I'm just surprised we are going into the final Book without really anything (well..besides Opal and Bolin ahaha).

Legend of Korra season 3 episode 4
This episode was just awesome, I'm so happy for Tenzin!

I still kind of take issue with how that plot was handled. I know not everyone agrees with me on that one. But at least for me, I do not think everyone deserves forgiveness (or that one must give forgiveness). I think Lin should have absolutely let go of her hate/anger, because it poisoned her life and didn't allow her to move on. Absolutely. That was on her, and she shares some of the blame. But I also don't think there is anything wrong with her letting go of that anger, but also not forgiving Su.
I never got the sense that Su was ever truly sorry for what she did. She just kind of wrote it off like, I was young blah blah. Mistakes happen. And even if that is true, it clearly had a major impact on causing a lot of hurt to Lin. That she couldn't accept more responsibility for what clearly hurt her sister immensely, never sat well with me. So while Su ended up becoming a different person, and has a wonderful life (and that's good and all), her actions pretty much had no effect on her really, but had all the negative effect on Toph and Lin. So it just bugs me that she never fully stepped up to the plate, and was able to succeed in life after shitting all over her Mom and Sister.
Just how I feel. I'm probably biased, because I've had family members that have done really shitty things. And just because they are blood, I don't think they deserve forgiveness. Even if they change as people. I do not think it's healthy to hold on to anger though. I think you can move on from it and still be at peace with the person that wronged you (so I guess this is where I think Lin also shares some of the blame), but I don't think one automatically deserves forgiveness.
I dunno. I guess in hindsight I really never had an issue with this plot from a writing perspective. It was just my own personal/subjective view on the subject, and how the writers decided to tackle it that didn't sit entirely well with me.
This season had so many badass action scenes. I think it had more than season 2 and 1 combined. It helped that there was a variety of interesting powers used in interesting ways instead of everyone water bending all the time. My favorite action parts were the scenes with Gazan
lava bending, because lava. The animators really deserve credit for how lovely it was to look at.
and Bolin
I'm thinking the Red Lotus will be a bit more prevalent than the Equalist (which were completely dissolved off screen between seasons). However, I think a bigger threat will come along, and the Red Lotus are going to be pushed to the side (so essentially what you said). The only reason I don't think the Red Lotus will be 100% dealt with between seasons, is because they brought it up in the final moments of the finale, that there are more of them out there...
We never got that moment with Amon or the equalist. So they are clearly trying to set up some continuity here (and Book 3 in general has tried really hard to bring more continuity to the show). But yeah, I think a bigger threat will rise up and overshadow them pretty quickly. So I basically agree with you, however, I do expect they will be mentioned (or shown) at least early in t he season, before getting pushed aside. I don't think the main plot will revolve around them.

There were subtle hints with Mako/Korra all season 3,i dont think they will change the ending of Season 1,i just hope its not as bad as that and becomes a distraction from the main plot.
This, completely which made the resolution for Lin to just SLEEP IT OFF infuriating.
Su or whatever her name scarred her sister for life (literally) and nearly destroyed her mum's rep and what does she get, her own fucking city, a good family and shit ton of money , while Lin is alone pounding the streets as a cop and whe Su made that crack about Tenzin, I nearly sent my fist through the TV, and she lost the fight as well, you know what? fuck Season 3
reminding myself of that ep just ruins all the good things this season did.
Ah damn, I didn't hate the plot that much lol But I do understand your frustration with it. It did bug me. At least for me, I still really liked the plot with Lin. I just wasn't that happy with the resolution (or the tone the writers took with it, and Lin moving past it).
Yep, agreed. I also got those vibes with Mako X Korra. Satch going to own everyone when they end up getting back together. Never trust the writers, they lie.
Which is why the reveal of her as part of the Red Lotus next season is going to be that much more delicious.
...right?

My first post has to be with all of you AvatarGAF
, reading the reactions and some of you're comments has been hilarious.
I loved the Book 3 ending, It was pretty grim, no wonder why a channel FOR THE KIDS is wary about the series. Much better than Book 2.
Can´t wait for Book 4!!

Pretty much how I feel about it, it's just kind of silly and no one ever said they were sorry about it either. Though how Toph treated the entire situation was pretty awful as well.
It wasnt the plot s much as the resolution, you hit the nail on the head, Su didn't come across as sorry for what went down or recognize the impact of her actions on Lin.
from then on every time I saw Su, I just got angry, ruined the season for me

That's what I hate about Book 2, the equalists were just killed off off-screen just like that. WTF? Did all of that ideology and fervor amongst its followers just die off just because their leader was a hack? Even though their cause was kinda just and right? (The benders still control most the world's positions)

Welcome brother. Some suggestions while being on GAF:
-As a Junior I'd highly recommend you don't post anything that may be considered inflammatory or non-politically correct. Not to say you can't, you're welcome to, but where a regular member might get temp banned for saying something horrible or bad, juniors would get perma banned.
- Read the TOS and know what not to discuss. In particular: pirate products. The topic is ok but discussing the means of obtaining or hinting of ownership is a no no.
- Lurk threads a lot to see the style of posting.
Follow these rules (and the TOS) and you'll be a full member in no time. Welcome
if they did it, there would be absolutely no way they could fuck up a korrasami relationship specifically because the two of them never argue with each other like mako and korra do

Thanks, I've seen some account suicides during my time as a lurker, So I completely get what you mean.
Back to Topic, I'd certainly like some comics a la "The Promise" to fill in the time gaps between books, and to go deeper into some plot points, specially the end of the Equalist Movement or the birth of the Red Lotus
I guess I liked season 3 better because it didn´t leave anything into the air (har har), And the Red Lotus is still around, unlike the Equalists
May I know where this circus picture was from? I do not remember it from the show. Thanks.
"I follow the #equalists... your probably never heard of them."
They are basically the Tea Party of Republic City.
So I was just browsing the youtubes yesterday and and in my recommended videos section there was a video about the origin of Wan.
One question: Um...what the hell happened to the animation? I haven't seen Korra since season 1, but is this what it's supposed to look like now? D:
