In a packed episode, The Legend of Korra gave us some nice character moments.
Here’s our review…
So, this is it.
They kidnap Baatar Jr. in an attempt to reason with him.
When that fails, they use him as leverage to stop Kuvira.
This episode ofThe Legend of Korrawas simply packed, and not in an overstuffed, rushed way.
Every scene played out perfectly.
I was amazed that there still another to come.
Zhu Lis reunion with Varrick was pretty much perfect.
Zhu Li finally having had enough of his crap and cluelessness proved otherwise.
This was the real deal, and I love that she lays everything out for him.
Aside from being satisfying to me as a viewer, its a great message for girls.
And while it was cute, Im really ready for his be the last fart joke in the series.
There are some great cameos during Prince Wus speech.
We see the merchants Korra defended from the Triple Threat Triad in the very first episode.
We stop in Narooks Seaweed Noodlery to see Tahno and his bitches.
Unfortunately, it really highlights just how utterly useless Mako has been this season.
As a character, how different is Mako really from who he was at the start of the series?
Tenzin has learned to be more patient and flexible.
Asami has come into her own as a businesswoman and begun to mend her relationship with her father.
And its not that I think Mike and Bryan love Mako any less.
But the real stand-out in this episode is Korra herself.
When her first plan fails, she comes up with another.
When Baatar Jr. calls her bluff, she comes at things from another angle.
Beyond that, she realizes just how impractical it would be to do so.
Shes thinking tactically in a way she never would have when she first came to Republic City.
You go, girl.
But does she love him?
Either she deluded Baatar Jr. into thinking she loved him or she deluded herself.
That is some cold-blooded shit, and yet I dont see all the humanity gone from her yet.
Shes clearly deserving of punishment at this point.
Shes way beyond Oops, my bad!
Thats whats the most chilling thing about it all.
Crazy you’re free to write off, its practically a get out of morality free card.
We know what shes already done.
I man, that thing… holy huge fucking mecha!
Well, now we know where the metal from Zaofus domes went.
And that pilot pad from which Kuvira controls the giant mecha by metalbending several ball bearings?
Well, this is it, folks.
I do have to be honest.
Im a bit nervous.
For its one or two flaws, the grand finale ofAvatarwas pretty damn great.
And I trust that these guys will give us something that is at the very least good.
