Season Final Short Review

This piece kinda shows how I felt before and after watching the finale…
and this is all I got after the last two episodes. I always made something after each episode for the whole season, but this time I didn't feel much inspiration. So sorry guys.

Anyway, the following is my review of the finale.
be ware of Spoiler!!!









Maybe I’m the only person that did not feel satisfied with the finale. It's alright to not agree with me, and I'm not intending to offend anyone, I'm a big fan of the show you know.

So here I go with my thoughts on the season final.



The whole episode feels full of tension, yet so flat at the same time… everything happens just… too quickly? ...Or say, it felt very rushed. I saw so many potentials, but few of them got enough development. I was physically engaged but not emotionally.

The story of Tarrlok’s family didn’t sell much emotion to me. (Well their ending was kinda sad... it reminds me of Fate/zero S2 Ep6, which aired just several week ago, when Kirizuku killed his spiritual mother on the boat, but that scene had a much greater emotional impact and made me tearbend)

Amon disappointed me the most, he was almost taken down by Mako!!... I thought he could have at least taken his bending and beat Korra, or something more epic! But even with blood bending he acts so weak!! …Gee … This does not support the idea of a lead villain who's supposed to be badass… I felt the whole character was ruined (Or maybe all his power comes from the mask, so when he took off the mask, he became powerless- OK this makes lots sense LOL.).... Anyway, his real face is kinda hot though.

Iroh 2 is not very impressive, I don’t get much of his personality so far… only hope his fire jet trick was learned from Azula.
and Asami… don’t channel your anger towards Mako at your father young lady!! He at least cares about you!

I’m happy to see Korra and Lin regain their bending, but… using the Avatar state to solve the problem just makes things feel too easy, effortless... like cheating… I mean, it made me think that the Avatar state could be a possible solution to any problem… and made Lin’s sacrifice count for nothing. (But it doesn't change the fact that Lin's moment in Ep10 is the most epic moment for me in the whole season!)

And Mako is just a jerk… the Makorra ending doesn't make any sense to me...

OK, enough complaining… to be fair it was an amazing finale, but I think it could have been done much better. Maybe my expectations were too high or maybe everything happened too quickly to get the feeling right, I need to rewatch it again to be sure.

Thank you very much for all your comments, sorry I type slow and may not be able to reply to them all at once, but I really enjoy reading them and there are lots of interesting points. So, you're more than welcome to speak your thoughts~ and feel free to discuss with others~

Now to sum up the whole season with some of my LOK fanart

I see your point but but he was a badass and he was surprised alot and and sometimes a lucky shot is what you need to win and Mako not a jerk(maybe a little) Korra the one who kissed him and yes he had feelings for Korra but he stayed with Asami because he was a loyal boyfriend and part of the time he was paying less attention to Asami was because Korra life was in danger so many times and she was beaten up badly. Point is maybe Mako loved Korra a little more than Asami. I didn't like the love drama.
