Oh. Ohhhhhh. Now I get all the Asami and Korra shipping that I was aware of before I even knew what avatar was. Was so confused back in season 1 since they were romantic rivals for Mako but as of episode 7 now I get it. I guess it was the only way to keep Asami relevant because honestly as sweet and kind and helpful as she is, she doesn't... add much to the show. The fact that she wasn't a villain really threw me for a while. She gets a bit of a short stick in the series especially consider she's much more interesting and important than for example Mako who is dulness itself. It's just that most of what she does/feels/accomplishes happens of camera (outside of season 3) and/or isn't really referenced in the series (such as designing the wingsuits). But I guess that's what happens if you have an actual job and not be a bender... And really, for all that that happens to her, it's quite amazing that she remains such a sweet and kind character. --- Just when you think you see a silver lining, God makes you blind....the ***** Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici ...

Pretty bad take. *Series Finale Spoilers* And you're totally right, btw.

I like that they try to make Kuvira into a three dimensional character, but she's basically a three dimensional character in a saturday morning cartoon villain kind of way. She could've been more interesting, but they went with the cliched of "lets make her a female hitler". It's weird because Zaheer was a one dimensional villain, yet I still liked him more than the other villains that showed more dimensions than him. I fee like a hypocrite now lol.How was Zaheer one dimensional? --- The most relaxing version of Aquatic Ambiance I've ever heard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl61y1XM7sM ... Copied to Clipboard!

That... ended alright. I guess. A final battle against a giant mecha suit with a laser cannon. Well at least we know that's probably what kuvira was making all the villages under her command do, dig out platinum ore to build that giant thing. Although I don't know how she could have kept that on the down low.
So after Korra saved her life from the spirit gun that she blasted, a new spirit portal was created and kuvira decided to stand down and accept the punishment heading her way. Seems a little too neatly wrapped but sure why not. One thing I want to mention is that someone said that Korra's character evolves and the show is trying to show (and outright state) that she's more compassionate and whatnot now, but it's not like the Korra of seasons 1, 2, or 3 would have killed kuvira or anything like that either so... I don't know what would have changed. ... Copied to Clipboard!

You can probable see a bigger difference in the comics where (given the situation) she has more time to actually show the difference instead of just preparing for war.
For example there is a point where Sure, most of it seems based on her confidence, but still. The second comic arc also shows that, while Kuvira is captured, it isn't entirely over.

I like how people are so heated aboutI mean... I'm kinda indifferent to it, or more accurately ambivalent about it. At first glance, going from romantic rivals to lovers with each other sounds like something out of a 50s screwball comedy classic, or a cheesy porn story. But it doesn't affect the story they're trying to tell and it's not like any of the romance in Korra has been any good, it's always been a drag and hurt its entire first season. I'd be interested to see if they take it further in the comics since they're not bound by the restrictions of network TV.

Remember though, Aang was an outlier. He spoke to half a dozen Avatars and all of them told him that he should kill Ozai to preserve the balance. And while she was forced to do it, there was no retrospection or regret about killing Unalaq.
