<p>I kinda had the same feeling at the end. What I mean is that Korra should have taken a vacation after Republic City was back on its feet. Aside from the portal everything was a mess because of team avatar's fight with Kuvira. It's like Superman taking a vacation in Man of Steel after half of Metropolis is destroied.  </p><p>Probably it would have been better if Bryke showed us a glimpse of RC being rebuild and expanded and the Earth Kingdom divided into localized elected ruleships because we had TWO books of bult up for that specific moment. We knew it was coming we knew the Earth Kingdom could not stay a kingdom anymore and when it finally happened it was glossed over.  </p><p>I am not saying Korra shouldn't have her happy ending but that she should put her Avatar duties before her personal needs.  </p><p>I expected a different ending for LOK - I wanted to see all of team avatar interacting with one another and realising that they are , in fact, a team and friends after all they've been through together. I wanted to see Asami grieve a little more over her father and finally I wanted to see Korra really aknowledge all that has happened up until that point. Legend of Korra shouldn't have been about a couple in particular but about what made Korra a legend in her own right about how she changed the world.  </p><p>I have nothing against Asami and Korra being a couple but it should have come later after more pressing things were resolved.  </p><p>It seemed to me that LOK lost its purpose somewhere along the way and it just didn't know what to do and ended on a romantic note just like ATLA because it didn't know better. In the end it wasn't the legend of korra so much as it was the legend of awkward love triangles.  </p>

<p>yeah that blue astral giant was awesome indeed.  </p><p>Korra isn't that spiritual to have such control over energybending not even in book 4. Yeah she can go in the spirit world and talk to the spirits and all that but while she needed to meditate to go there now she can just go to a portal without any effort whatsoever.  My point is energybending should not come that easy to her even though Aaang gave her the abbility like the Lion turtle gave Aang in the first place. </p>

<p>she just showed up and did...stuff. it looked pretty and powerful and that's apparently enough.  </p>

Knowing her she probably didn't want one but I don't think Zuko wanted one either. He just doesn't seem the type to just want a statue of himself. Toph and Sokka would be the only ones excited.

<p>That  buged me too. Katara was kinda treated poorly in LOK. By no means I didn't expect her to be a main character no no. But I did want the writers to treat her better. Toph said she is too old to fight and that it is time to let it to the younger generation but she DID howerver show some bending. Zuko did too and was awesome. Katara didn't. Not even  a little. I get it she is old they all are.  </p><p>And another thing she is credited as being the best healer in the world but what about being the best waterbender in the world? or at least she was at some point cus I don't think she matches Yakone or Ming-Hua. Heck why didn't she have a statue? Toph had two and she was alive, Zuko had one, even Sokka had one. Where was hers? </p>

<p>I fully agree on the bloodbending part. I was a little mistaken there. Ty Lee is indeed a pressure point attacker. my bad there.  </p><p>I wish we had at least a story of how Amon learned to take bending with bloodbending but I reckon that he just practiced and that just like Hama he just figured out he could take bending or block certain chi paths to achieve that result.  </p><p>The Ozai-Aang thing was probably played to be epic and feel big and enormous for the finale and I get that but I would have prefered it remained that way. Heck it was so awesome. Ozai looked terriified and was very very weak after his bending was taken. </p>

<p>1. it could be a) random character we will see in the comics or b) important character who will have a reveal thus the choice to not say it in the series itself. </p><p>2.That's a pretty good point. It's not like one could just go and abolish a monarchy like that. I get he was the heir but he must have parents and all that.  </p><p>3.I would have loved to see that in the finale. I wanted to see that so bad. It would have made for a great ending.  </p><p>4. That is also an interesting point. I mean did they just surrender? DId they form some sort of club like what Mai's father did after Ozai was dealt with? They probably just surrendered since they had no leader and no chance of going at it alone. It's like with the germans in world war II. Hitler was defeated and nobody stepped up because they couldn't. Most of his trusted men were trialed while others commited suicide.  </p><p>5. I think that if LOK had more episodes they would have developed on that and mention them. They only said anything about there being more red lotus members once and then nothing. I get why it happened it was because of budget restrain and episode restrain - Nick wanted a limited number of episodes. They didn't have what to work with. Sure they could have written it differentlyto better suit the narrative. </p><p>6. For that matter why isn't the spider spirit up and about in the human world? or any other spirit who just likes to mess with the humans. I don't think it's because Vaatu was destroied i mean Koh pretty much seemed to be the kind of spirit to do what he wants when he wants how he wants it. </p>

<p>I did say I liked the original idea that mike had with the avatar being the incarnation of the spirit of the planet.  </p>

<p>7 is not my opinion. I even said so.  </p>

<p>You are not whining you made valid points and you are right. </p><p>I was amazed at how powerful energybending looked in the ATLA finale - it did look like an ultimate solution, like something grand and hard to pull and risky. </p><p>I can't stand how they made it look in LOK like it isn't as important or epic. When Aang took Yakone's bending it should have been just like when he took Ozai's.  </p><p>Also in ATLA it looked like it took a lot of power to do energybending like it would leave one weak or tired after doing it.  </p><p>That bloodbending thing was just thrown in there with no explanation whatsoever. We were told it blocked the chi paths and all that but I wanna know HOW bloodbending can take bending. If so is Ty-Lee really bloodbending to block the chi paths? Perhaps not sincer her victims usually recover after a while but who knows. </p>

one could argue Bumi could not properly see the earth but it still counts.

See Bumi for bending when trapped by the FN in that iron thing. He was way up in the air and managed to bend without moving and without touching the earth and while encased in that metla thing. so yeah it kinda is possible.

<p>what Jinora did in the finale of book 2 was more deu ex machina than the lion turtle in ATLA   </p><p>it is a rule of writing that you don't put your character to do something you ( the author) have no idea what it is and expect the reader/audience to just go with it.  </p><p>yes we can speculate on what she did then but we still have no clue. yes she is spiritual and connected to all things spirity BUT what did she do there exactly? we never know. Bryke doesn't even know.  </p><p>Another rule of writing is : when creating a character you must also create and establish what said character can do or not from the very beginning and then SHOW it throught your book//show.  </p>

I know but the way they showed it seemed closer to what we have know in the modern world. I'm gonna rewatch that episode just to be sure.

<p>I don't think it would be bendable but I do think it exists in LOK. I mean LOK has cars, radio and cameras so plastic wouldn't be such a stretch.   </p><p>If you ask me Yakone having plastic surgery was a little farfetched. I mean think about it he was still pretty young when he had that surgery -  Tenzin was probably a kid or non-existant. How can medicine in LOK be so advanced when in ATLA it was just about herbs and natural stuff? I am i no way good with maths but when Yakone's bending was taken away I think he was about in his 40s or so and then he went and had the plastic surgery. Aang was probably in his late 30s then so that's about 18 years after ATLA ended. Aang was 12 add 18 he was 30 when he stopped Yakone. that's a rough estimate. But I digress. Plastic surely exists in LOK.  </p>

One can argue Pema bends Tenzin haha

<p>He probably is because airbending is dominant especially when the other parent is a non-bender. </p>
