Hello there readers! Long time no see. I guess I’ll get the
apologies out of the way. After exams ended I was thrust straight into the
world of work once again and let me tell you… retail around the holiday season
is no laughing matter. There have been many things that we’ve been dying to
write about but so often they have been left as drafts and cast aside,
unfinished and forgotten. But hey, now that we’re into the new year, new
movies, new music… hopefully we can get back into the swing of things.
This post has been in the works for a while and I have tried
to start and finish it on many occaisions. I guess you could say that I’m in
denial, I can’t believe that The Legend of Korra is over and that I have to
carry on without any new episodes. Mind you it’s already been about a month
already. This is not the kind of life I want to live! All dramatics aside, like
I’ve said, I’ve tried to write this finale post from different angles. A lot of
times it just turned into a scene- by-scene retelling of the episodes. And
that’s definitely not what I wanted. So hopefully, I have more luck with this one.
If you’re in the Avatar fandom (hey, even if you aren’t) you
will know that the series finale of The Legend of Korra caused generated a lot
of attention. All good things, all good things. It was a highly anticipated
finale with plenty to offer. So far in the season, we’ve followed Korra’s
struggle after she suffers the repercussions from her fight with Zaheer in the
Book 3 finale. We watch her start from the bottom as she learns how to walk
again and face her inner demons after suffering PTSD from the poison taking
over her body. We’re also reintroduced to Kuvira who has taken the role as the
main antagonist for the season and appears to be a dictator. The Air Nation has
grown and the airbenders are more active in their snazzy new airbender suits.
We leave things off after Kuvira’s Gambit, where Kuvira has just fired a blast
at our heroes (and Bataar Jr. who is also her fiancée) from her giant mecha
suit, the Colossus. The penultimate episode ends ambiguously as we don’t know
if our Team Avatar (and Bataar Jr.) has survived. Oooh cliffhanger.
