Hi I'm Haroula, your not so typical fangirl. OH did I mention I am slightly obsessed with Avatar: The Last Airbender and the Legend of Korra? And if you can't tell, I'm head over heels in love with Bolin.

I’m not trying to harsh anyone ~finale vibes~ but book 4 was weak and the finale was even weaker regardless of what you shipped

  • korra’s recovery arc was handled horribly
  • mako’s arc was reduced to Wu’s lap dog
  • asami hardly had any screen time
  • they brought hiroshi...

Thursday’s season finale of The Legend of Korra saw the end of almost a decade-long journey of animation through the universe of bending elements, spiritual

The one review that I’ve seen from a publication be real, honest and accurate with all the finale did good - and bad, especially when it comes to how Korra herself is treated in what is supposed to be the conclusion of her legend. An absolute must read.

Korrasami Confirmed

Now that Korra and Asami’s final moment is out in the world, it seems like an appropriate time to express how I feel about it. I didn’t want to say anything right away so the audience could experience the finale for themselves.

The main themes of the Avatar universe have always revolved around equality, justice, acceptance, tolerance, and balancing differing worldviews. In subtle and maybe not so subtle ways, Avatar and Legend of Korra have dealt with difficult subjects such as genocide, child abuse, deaths of loved ones, and post traumatic stress. I took it as a complement when Joanna Robinson of Vanity Fair called the show subversive. There were times even I was surprised we were able to delve into the really tough stuff on a children’s TV network. While the episodes were never designed to “make a statement”, Bryan and I always strove to treat the more difficult subject matter with the respect and gravity it deserved.

And over the years we’ve heard from numerous fans, in person and online, how Avatar and Korra have influenced their lives for the better or helped them overcome a life struggle or setback. I am always humbled when people share their personal stories with us and I am grateful that my love for telling stories has been able to help people in some small way. So while Avatar and Korra were always meant to be entertaining and engaging tales, this universe and its characters also speak to the deeper humanity in all of us, regardless of age, gender, race, religion, culture, nationality, or sexual orientation.

Our intention with the last scene was to make it as clear as possible that yes, Korra and Asami have romantic feelings for each other. The moment where they enter the spirit portal symbolizes their evolution from being friends to being a couple. Many news outlets, bloggers, and fans picked up on this and didn’t find it ambiguous. For the most part, it seems like the point of the scene was understood and additional commentary wasn’t really needed from Bryan or me. But in case people were still questioning what happened in the last scene, I wanted to make a clear verbal statement to complement the show’s visual one. I get that not everyone will be happy with the way that the show ended. Rarely does a series finale of any show satisfy that show’s fans, so I’ve been pleasantly surprised with the positive articles and posts I’ve seen about Korra’s finale.

I’ve already read some heartwarming and incredible posts about how this moment means so much for the LGBT community. Once again, the incredible outpouring of support for the show humbles me. As Tenzin says, “Life is one big bumpy ride.” And if, by Korra and Asami being a couple, we are able to help smooth out that ride even a tiny bit for some people, I’m proud to do my part, however small it might be. Thanks for reading.

The fact that he went through hell and was still was the first person to actively try to find her absolutely breaks my soul into pieces. I’ll never get over the amount of selflessness Mako displays, or the love he has for Korra. If that makes me forever bitter, then so be it.

I understand completely. I think people should lay the fuck off Makorra shippers. Mako fans in general. I love Mako to death and I hate how underappreciated he is. He really fucking cares about Korra and as much as I fuckng love Asami and Korra I did love Korra and Mako.  People should lay the fuck off those who like it.  People should just stop fucking telling people what to do and what to ship. Yes, I love my Bisexual couple to death and i will fuckign defend and love it till the day I fucking die. Doesn’t mean i’m gonna go and call people who don’t ship them Homophobic or dipshits.  Your not being the person Korra would want you to be, when you act like an asshole.

God bless you, there needs to be a thousand more of you.

I'M GLAD TO HEAR SOMEONE ELSE IS BUMMED ABOUT THERE BEING NO CLOSURE WITH KORRA AND BOLIN. I really love their friendship and i just wish there had been some sort of 'i'm proud of you' moment at the end.

I loved their friendship so much. They got along so well and even after years of not seeing each other Bolin was still so cheerful to see Korra and didn’t even show resentment towards her after not responding to letters like look at that friendship. Look at how beautiful and understanding he is of her and we got nothing to show at the end of it all. No closure. Nothing heartfelt. Nothing.

"It’s been fun…"

I’m really heartbroken that LoK is ending, and I just- I wish we had more time with Korra.
