After Lin's response to Korra the last time she got involved in a family matter, would you tell her anything?

What a cool episode. Looks like family business next episode.

Still, when she decided to do that you'd expect there to be ramifications if you failed, especially because they fell for a trap in the most ridiculous manner possible.
Yeah I wish they had shown some airbending around him or something. I actually thought his flight looked somewhat ridiculous in season 3. I think it made total sense and looked great in this last episode though. Levitating while sitting cross legged looked legit.

Toph is alone for a reason.
If you were looking for a place that no one will bother you. You came to the right place

i assume its using airbending to affect air pressure that is enough to mess with gravity's effects and allow him to be light (kinda like going in space where the gravity/air is less the further you go)
just pulling things out of my ass here

I was quite amused by the way Korra used earthbending to play with Naga. One of those things that seems so obvious but you never would have actually thought of it.

yeah that was cute.

Her bending seems to be the most inventive while playing with Naga, like with last season where she used airbending to throw a ball.

She's old and single. I'm sure those big thick vines can provide her with companionship
Is it time already?

Does this mean spirit vines vibrate?

Mannnnnnnnnn Toph is 100% correct. Korra is the worst Avatar ever.
Side note Meelo only gets better with age. They need more of him on the show.

Nah Kuruk still holds that title. Korra hasn't gone around challenging random fire citizens to Agni Kai or fighting random spirits because she's bored like Kuruk did.

Book 1 ends
"seriously? She just gets her power back? Bullshit, It wouldve been amazing to have book 2 focus on her road to recovery, a deep emotional, self discovering quest, that's what this stupid writers needed to do"
Book 4
"Fuck this Shit is slow, get over it already!"
This fandom man lol

I agree, but its also about how they do it.

That was all back before everybody realized how bad the writing and pacing for most of the series would be.

You're looking at it wrong.
Book 4 is the end, at this point in the story it should be ass kicking and balls to the wall. Its not the best point in the story arc for this. Book 2 would have been the ideal spot in the story arc to put a slow recovery storyline.
I'm not hating on it or complaining about it, but there was a more ideal spot to put this kind of storyline in the overarching 4 book story arc.
Its just fine, this is pretty much what one should expected of a character arc like this, except for the clip show, all episodes have been a small step towards recovery, building up for a grand finale.
You recover little by little, sometimes you even go some steps back before advancing again.
The complaints feel ridiculous to me. I wonder when are we going to reach the point of whining because the shape of a sword is different than in TLA
I like it.

I get the arc, it does just seem really slow though and this would be all fine if they weren't pissing away whatever potential Kuvira had. Character recovery is fine as long as you balance it out with a likeable enough cast.
it's good enough to tune in every week, but it ain't ATLA
I like it quite a bit!

no, it was personally my least favorite in the series. Lin was totally out of character and Opal is evil.
Bryan said in an interview
that Kya isn't showing up again this season. Still a chance we'll see a bit more of Kai and Bumi though.
Not even once? That's cold.

Kya was briefly in episode two. They literally shipped her off on a boat. Just started watching Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. They really should've written Kuvira like Dio. I mean if you're going to make a villain make him despicable as fuck within the first 15 minutes, because damn. Dio is an off the charts asshole and I haven't even finished the first episode yet.
Nope episode 2 will be her last ever appearance. They said she didn't make the cut as they already had too many characters for Book 4.
Sometimes I think I'm the only person on GAF who doesn't think Korra is garbage as a character.
Yeeeeah. It's a shame it had to happen in the final season, but I don't think her recovery arc has been all that terrible. The calls for her to just get over it and beat Kuvira already really did get on my nerves as I lurked in this thread.

Because at that point there was time for her to grow as a character. Leaving it to your last season to actually give your protagonist any actual character development and doing it in such poor way at the expense of the plot as well is mind boggling.
I absolutely hate the announcer guy. Such a terrible voice.

It's not like it's the first time they've wasted the potential of a good character.

I'm glad to see Zaheer is still the best character in the show
Oh sure, everyone here can write a better plot in 15 minutes judging by all the comments.
Im just saying this terrible, horrible putrid excuse of a plot is pretty enjoyable the way it is. Despite its flaws.
The way you talk about it, this seems like a sequel on the level of Eureka Seven AO in a awfullness, when its actually a good show.
Yeah, no fuck this so much.
Tired of people trying to make criticisms invalid by ignoring context. If you don't have any issue with the show, that's great. But not everyone that has issues with it are doing it just to complain, or are being unreasonable in their criticisms. Jesus Christ. Always seems to be the same 2-3 posters that pull this shit too. Drive by posts complaining about people in this thread complaining.
I don't even care anymore, because I don't have the patience. Will be my last post in this thread. So yeah fuck this. Go stick your head in the sand and continue thinking this is god's gift to animation.

The animation may have been a bit iffy in parts of today's episode but they sure did a great job with the hair in it.
