Definitely a thing, my only beef is that it is 100% fan service as it was really never expanded on in the show, but on the other hand, I don't know how they would do it anyway.
It's still the best romance in the entire Avatar franchise. Except Varrick and Zhu-Li.

That's more a testament to how poorly the series handles romance in general.

Long story short, Eva was kind of infamous for pretty blatantly running out of budget close to the end of the series, and created a really trippy finale. End of Evangelion was made after the series went huge, and is the ending the director had originally wanted to tell. It... Ends up being much, much trippier.





As for Korra... Well. That's...

I dunno. It feels weird to see something I grew up with coming to an end.

The series creators are the greatest trolls to ever produce a (western) cartoon if you think about it.

Honestly I'd think we were reading too much into it if I didn't strongly believe this is exactly as close to lesbianism as an American cartoon could ever get on screen.

I'm honestly pretty happy that the entire ending was building up to Korra learning compassion, even for her enemies, and for her great victory to be an act of compassion and self-sacrifice. That's a pretty nice way to end her character arc.


Also I was seriously expecting them to end it on a kiss like they ended TLA.

SPINNING LAVA DISK.

Mako being useful for loving once, with lightning of course.

The Korra and Kuvira fight was great.

Beifongs loving owning all over the place.

Why is Bolin officiating weddings?

The Airbenders saving each other was so loving cute and also terrifying.

The Korra and Kuvira talk at the end was kinda sappy and forced, but works for the theme of the Avatar not just being about blowing poo poo up, but reconciling conflicts.

They went way past hinting at Korrasami. Had this not been a kids show or had it been a het couple, they would've kissed right there at the end.


Great ending, great wrap up, pretty good character development for everyone. Sad to see the series go away (until it gets rebooted or sold off or whatever), but strong send off despite Nickelodeon shenanigans.

The conversation between Korra and Kuvira delivered on the themes of the season so much better than any interaction Aang and Ozai ever had. And it's way more meaningful that she spared Kuvira precisely because Korra is anything but a pacifist. Hell, she outright killed Unalaq.

Kuvira is exactly what Korra would have become if put in the same situation. Kuvira had no mentor to curb her excesses, no friends to provide moral support. She had to do it all herself.

Furthermore, it is my opinion that Korra and Asami are a couple.

I am also happy that it didn't end in that, either.

Welp, turns out Korra could purify a laser so hard it created a spirit portal where the two of them could have a conversation without any possibility of combat. It's a pretty minor deus ex machina in Avatar terms though.
