Why does Zuko get to be alive but Sokka is dead? T_T I was hoping before I watched LoK that Sokka would be the new crazy old guy like a second coming of Bumi. But nooooo... :<Seagloom wrote...
I like his hair.It was an awesome moment for me, tho'. Zuko is still alive by the way. According to that Republic City flash thingie on Nick's website, he stepped down as Firelord years back and now travels the world as an ambassador working towards peace. He's just ooold now.

Probably because Sokka was a normal guy. Master benders apparently live a very long time. Avatar Kiyoshi died at 230. O.o Bumi was over a century old and built like an adonis from the neck down. Or maybe they just decided Sokka being around was too much awesome to contain. I adore Bolin, but stealing the show from Sokka? Not gonna happen. >.>

Someone's been drinking the Kool-Aid, I see. The only question is grape or cherry? O.o

Lol what I find funny is the whole "rejecting the mentality of might makes right."
Yet
Builds massive numbers of planes, shock gloves, mechs, airships lol.

Why not drop bombs with the anti-bending gas and THEN assault the city?

I think they couldn't figure out precisely how Sokka would act after he was 100.Seagloom wrote...

I think that his living room would be cluttered with boomerangs. And he'd always be complaining about how they wouldn't let him have meat.

I've wonderd that unless they don't have much gas or worry about civilian fatalities. After all he's preaching equality. Not mass killing sprees. Plus its a kid show, it'll be like GI joe. We'll see battleships sinking and on fire, yet the whole crew lives.

There's plenty of world leaders who want the good stuff but go about it the wrong way. Look in the history books. I was happy to see Sokka at least as a council in a memory he was STILL smokin' hot and funny as heck!

Anyone else think Zuko's voice actor sounds too juvenile for Iroh II?

I could do the whole detailed critique thing but no... I'm no state to do that. That was an awesome finale to the season. It made me tear up. I don't care where the plot is going at this point. That was so moving it felt like enough. The show could end there and I would feel completely satisfied.

No Way! There are too many characters mentioned and not shown. We need to see Bumi II, Old Zuko and the rest from Aang's "family" that are still around and kicking. Still a good ending probably better than the end to Aang's first book.

I did wonder what Bumi was like when his ship pulled in and he howled. Looks like he lives up to his reputation. 
However, I do not require closure for those characters. They are ancillary. This story was always about Korra and the people in her life. Finding out what Zuko is up to or unraveling mysteries such as who is Lin's father are not important to me in the long run.

May as well throw in quick thoughts on other bits now.
- Iroh fighting and flying around in a way reminiscent of Azula.
- Everything Bolin did.
- Asami standing up to her father and coming into her own as a character. I like her a lot more outside the love triangle plot. I also loved that she ultimately did not fall to the dark side in a trite "plot twist". Really glad she stuck to her convictions and proved she was more than Mako's girlfriend.
- Naga shined in every action scene she was in.
- Amon's backstory was a bit meh in terms of content, but I still found myself feeling sad for him and Pony Tails Man in the end. That final scene on the boat was the second most powerful moment of the finale. I guess PTM figured it was time to end the cycle their father began. Downright tragic.
Criticisms...
- Korra having every element removed except airbending, then somehow overpowering Amon enough to send him propelling from a window. She couldn't touch him with three mastered elements. Suddenly she was able to overcome him with one she barely has skill in using. Then Amon stupidly waterbends out to save his life when he could have easily swam to the surface. Did he like, completely forget about maintaining his deception? Someone depicted as being so cunning acting so foolish was a bit out of character.
- Mako and Asami's breakup was sort of not there.
Instead of resolving that issue they kind of... sidestepped it? I'll take it if only because that was such an annoying love triangle, but really the entire thing was weaksauce right up to the end.
- Tenzin's family being captured with no explanation felt like unnecessary drama. There was already enough going on there. I guess they needed a reason to include him in the finale, though.
---
All in all, a great pair of episodes. As I wrote earlier, I had tears in that last scene when Korra becomes a fully realized and everything that followed. It was nice to see a genuinely happy ending. :happy:

Without posting spoilers, does anyone have a link to the new episodes? I wasn't able to watch them, unfortunately.

Ah, did it work for you already? I tried tv-links a little while ago and didn't notice any streams available. But then, I'm also inept.

I have to say the ending and Asami's reactions were just baddly written to me.
Oh hi BF!! I bought you all this stuff but *shrugs* Idc go run off with Korra, no nevermind to me, don't even offically break up, its kay.
Amon I thought the way that was delt with was cheap. And a cliff hanger at that. Remember when Hitler had a bomb go off right next to him, it didn't kill him. So Amon, or w/e his name is now, may be fish food. Or might come back as a part 2-3 villian.
And just the whole
"Lol Here, your sad, we come to help you kay?" I mean...just so anti-climatic imo.
And while I'm not surprised...I just wish not every pilot was shown parachuting away, heck even in AtLAB some folks weren't seen again, namely tankers or the Fire nation navy at the North Pole.
But I did like most of the espisode. Just parts of it...well rushed, and wasn't that well written. Reminds me of some Videogames I've played as of late.
