Nah, she's a model, that's her natural look, though she usually doesn't tie her hair in a long braid.

Other than the finale. I mean, season one has some great episodes.
Welcome to Republic City
The Revelation
The Voice in the Night
And the winner is...
When Extremes Meet
Out of the Past (just for that one scene alone)
And there are more, I just can't remember all their names
Those abs... hnnnng!
Wow! We just need her and the Korra and Asami cosplayers together for a pic.

Firebender. My first order of business will be to melt down this Chinese woman I used to like along with her car.
Season 1 really is incredible, it's my favorite season of Avatar period and certainly my favorite of LoK; obviously season 3 is an absurdly strong 2nd for me in LoK, the only question will be if I will prefer season 2 or 4 on rewatch.
The Steel Mother
This is only a small sample of the comic, rest is linked below.
Still a better ending than what Mako got.
ALL HAIL
double post because I forget to edit my posts with added quotes sometime, ah fuck it.
I kind of wonder what stage their relationship is at by the end of the series. I mean Korra is clearly smitten, but Asami is a bit harder to read. I think she has loved Korra for a long time, but I don't quite see them tongue kissing the second they get through the portal. I kind of feel like Asami's va played the "Really?!... ok..." dialogue a little too flat and light when you compare it against the animations. It seemed like Asami was excited and then... scared? Worried...? Giving in? With the way everything played out I kind of thing that they're 'giving it a go' by the very end and they're no question that it will work out, but I would seriously doubt that they would have even kissed prior to the portal scene.
I hope we get some awesome Korra comics to flesh out the post season 4 story, I feel like season 5 deserves to be right around the corner. Sure some of that might be down to the fact that Season 4 ended very open ended and we didn't get a ton of time for great character moments in season 4, but damn it I want more Korra.
EDIT: on that note people REALLY wanted Korra and Asami together

Woot got Water.
Yeah I absolutely love Book 1 even if it did falter towards the end in the rush to wrap everything up. Amon is still the best Korra villain despite that eh backstory.
Also I really do love the tone and atmosphere they gave to Republic City which was sadly mostly dropped after Book 1.

Korra and Asami's relationship at the end was pretty much a new beginning sort of deal. Probably going to start things slow and steady, a lesson well learned from L-Master Mako mistakes. Also based on a off-topic/age 20-40s life advice podcast from a website about vidja games, when it comes to relationships you either need to either date awhile to explore what sort of person you want to be with for long term. And of course who you are as a person, etc etc. Or for the lucky few, a relationship just clicks. Korra seems to be settled as a person and knows what she wants and who she is. Her and Asami had the most chemistry and both know what they want, not Mako.

Wu just isn't the same guy without having Mako watching him pee and vice versa.

I really like Amon's backstory, but this would have been pretty cool as well:

Agreed. The noir and steam punk vibe was really unique, and then lost in subsequent seasons. Other than the ending, I think the season was fucking incredible. Amon was amazing and definitely my favorite villian in Korra. Steve Blum fucking killed it. That one scene, "I...am the solution." Still gives me chills.

I rewatched ATLA (AGAIN... from the beginning this time) over this past weekend. By the time new OT comes around I will be able to recite every line from memory.

Not being a dick, but I find it interesting that you have Enter the Void and Venom of the Red Lotus together, yet you have The Last Stand separate from Day of the Colossus. Seems a bit disingenuous, no? Also, you have Light in the Dark on there?!
You know what, for all the shit that I give that finale for the final fight being disappointing as hell, I think the rest of the episode covers for it.
Just use the wiki. That's what I did.
According to that TVTropes page, Asami was way more into Korra as opposed to the other way around. I dunno. I still contest a couple pf points that page makes.

we got boring ass water tribe. and then the series focused way too much on the earth kingdom, and su's family in particular. they had such a prominent role in season 3/4. fuck, they should've gone back to the fire nation.

I don't know that 100%, I'm just making assumptions

I would have liked to at least get a small understanding of where the Fire Nation is at, but honestly, I'd had enough Fire Nation. They were such a huge focus of ATLA that I'm okay with focusing on the Earth Kingdom and the Water Tribe and even the Air Nomads.
Plus waterbending and metalbending > firebending.

I really liked Big Blue Korra. Even on rewatch I found the Jinora ex machina stupid as hell, but it doesn't take away from the climax. It's entertaining, which is most important to me. And I thought the tree of time was really cool.
I contemplated putting Day of The Colossus in there as well. It's a good episode, but I think the reason I liked the Book 3 finale so much was due to how complete the two episodes felt together. I also left out Spirits' penultimate episode, while representing Beginnings as one episode.

Well, the reason I point those out is because the episodes are technically separate, but they were aired together so I can understand counting them as one. I always count multi-parters as a single episode. That's why on my least favorites for ATLA, I count both of The Winter Solstice's parts even though the one I actually dislike is Part 1. That's just a nitpick for me when I see lists like this. It feels kinda unfair to do it for one as opposed to the other, but it's not my list.
I too love the ending of Book 2. So big and bombastic, I can't help but love it.

I wish they'd done more with lightning. Fuck, even lava gets cool fucking shuriken and discs. Lightning just gets....well, lightning. It's boring, is what I'm saying.

Baavira just isn't that steamy. She needs to hop on the SS Korvira or some other crack ship.
