Nah I rewatched 1 and 2 before 3 hit and 1 was pretty alright. It had its problems but it was still a breeze to sit through. 2 was torture though

Never again

If I rewatch this in the future I'll skip 2

Just watch Beginnings out of 2, that's all you need.

And just google all the parts where Eska enslaves Bolin, but without watching the season you miss some hilarious Varrick moments.

And then he sexually assaulted ginger. And douched out with opal.

Season 2 isn't canon, that is season 2 right? As for Opal, she's boring and he thought he was on a freedom train.

This is a hot mess. Lin moves from one of Aang's children to the other, Azula and Ty Lee find a pocket in spacetime and warp forward in time 60 years to a ladies club, who knows what Kuvira is doing.

She waits for Bataar Jr who is currently on the womans closet, crying silently.

Lol, Ty Lee and Azula took one of those Interstellar space rides and just recently landed. Is Lin and Kya really like a thing to the fanbase? This isn't the first time I've seen them paired up.

Bataar isn't even there. He's locked in his cage at home.

It brings up that Suyin really dropped the ball on not helping to bring order to the Earth Kingdom. She was too libertarian in a time of chaos, and this let a harsher ruler fill in the power vacuum. Also she was a jerk by literally closing herself off from the rest of the Earth Kingdom.

Not only this but she soiled her relationship with Kuvira because she was just trying to be a do nothing hippy. She didn't have to be the one to rule, but if she at least offered some kind of aid to Kuvira and her son in an advisory role then I think a lot of Kuvira's current tactics wouldn't have happened. She doesn't have an older mentor to bounce shit off of. At least Korra has Tenzin, whether she listens to the guy or not. Kuvira just has herself.

Yup. Suyin didn't have to be a dictator or impose anything on anyone. Tenzin and Raiko just wanted her to restore stability to the kingdom, i.e. make sure people are safe from the fucking roaming bandits and general lawlessness that had plagued the kingdom due to the power vacuum. She could've stepped aside and allowed Wu to take over (bad idea, mind) if she didn't want to impose a new status quo on the people or push for more democracy in the kingdom if she felt change was necessary. Certainly, both options were better than just closing Zaofu's doors and trying to forget the rest of the kingdom existed.

I think she showed a complete lack of responsibility in how she acted, and I really have no sympathy for her. She's pretty much responsible for the rise of Kuvira and the architect of her own downfall.

However, it's definitely characteristic of her to act in the way she did. And I like that. Clearly Kuvira is the enemy, as she wanted to conquer Zaofu (when it clearly didn't need to be saved and was fine on its own), but Suyin doesn't exactly come out of this smelling of roses and the show doesn't explicitly expect us to 100% sympathise with her. The granularity of the situation is superb for a young adult TV series.

Too bad Lin wasn't offered the interim rulership, but the politics probably wouldn't allow for her being welcomed by EK citizens. Even through re-education camps, blackmail, and aggression, Kuvira is still the only one who remotely cares about the country.

Lin seems to be way more responsible than Suyin, so she might have actually done something, but she's probably so bound to the job she would've refused. Su's not bound by anything. I'm pretty sure Zaofu runs itself pretty well so she doesn't have much of an excuse for not helping outside of just being selfish. I'm still waiting for Kuvira to throw her through a wall. "I stepped up bitch, now I'm about to step over your broken body!"

 

[360pages]

Honestly Su has a point though, when most people see stupid bullshit going on, or even regular bullshit they tend to step away. Her city is pretty much self runned anyway, she had no obligation to help anyone and she was well within her right to do nothing.

That doing nothing really didn't benefit her. As I said a few times. She didn't need to shun Kuvira and her son when they left. She could've acted like a mature adult and offer to at least give them advice as an adviser. She chose to just act aggressively and now she's imprisoned. Sometimes she should really think more.

 

[CDiggity]

A lot of the plot could have been avoided if people thought more.

 

[Veelk]

Su didn't even have a reason for why she didn't take control, as far as I recall

She obviously believes in governance of some kind. We don't know the political landscape of Zaofu, but everyone of note that we saw deffered to her for decisions. Even if she's not the queen or president, she is clearly the boss.

So why didn't she want to take control when it was offered?

Despite being the boss, I don't think Su actually wants control over everything like that. Her life is pretty much perfect right now and she probably didn't want to upset her life or her families life.

I can see that, sure you could get something better, but what you have at the moment is fine and good as well.

That's all fine and all, but is that what the show said?

We're speculating on Su not taking it because she's too hardcore libertarian or something.

As far as I know, she just said "No".

This is a major problem with the characters of Korra in general. We know Zaheer thinks anarchy is preferable but not why. We know Kuvira wants to 'unite' the earth kingdom, but not why that has to include Zaofu. We know Su objected to being the 'ruler' but not why.

The synopsis for “Remembrances”.

Apparently the promo image for episode 8. So interesting choice of images if it is the official image for Remembrances.
Could just be a placeholder though.

It sounds like the basic recap episode for your standard anime

 

[Magwik]

Man this season finale is really going to suck. Why would there be a filler episode? WHYYYYY

 

[360pages]

I hope it's just not a filler episode, there are far better ways to make it unless it's just going to be a stupid version of Ember island players.

Even then Korra doesn't have enough episodes or time to waste on a filler episode in their last season of the series.

I honestly wouldn't mind ember island players if it's at least funny, but not enough time spent with the main villain.

We get recap episodes about characters who barely interact intelligibly with each other while Kuvira runs around largely one note and shallow. Seems reasonable.

Really? A recap episode?

...This seasons already slow paced enough, and they're adding a recap episode?

I feel like this episode is going to be special.
The make or break point of the season

I'm pissed cause I like Kuvira and she had a lot of potential, but instead of realizing that potential they're wasting it on bullshit.

 

[Magwik]

Don't even go there.

You know it's going to happen.

 

[Omikaru]

A recap episode? Ugh. Guess we have to wait another week before anything interesting happens.

When you have THIRTEEN FUCKING EPISODES A SEASON, USE THEM WELL. A fucking recap episode is not what I'd describe as being economical with the time.

Maybe they just felt it was necessary after that awful episode "The Ember Island Players" in ATLA.

To be fair, Unalaq had more personality in the movers than he did in the actual series..

 

[360pages]

Whoa a lot of Ember Island player hate, I thought it was a fun episode for a rather serious season up to that point.
