Do you even know how animation works...or that Nick produced TLA?
But Ty Lee, Mai, and Sokka were next to useless against benders, remember when Mai and Ty Lee were captured by a few dozen firebenders, and how Ty Lee was really only capable of chi blocking benders when she had the element of surprise, Mai only capable of sticking people to walls with the element of surprise? When benders knew what was coming, they had no chance and were helpless.

I actually quite liked the season finale, although the sudden aang appearance and the restoring people's bending part was slightly disappointing. Also badass Tarlok sacrifice and this universe... this avatar world has so much stories to tell and so much character development potential... I hope we see a lot mroe coming from the makers!

Ending was beyond awesome.

TLA had one of the most well rounded stories & ending I've seen. It kinda hyped me for this, to see a resemblance that should kick ass. Overall I liked LOK s1, some good stuff in there. But this particular story isn't over yet... Still at least 1 season to go. Maybe they learn from this season final that rushing it breaks a giant chunk of why people like this show in the 1st place.

Edit (Guy under me) True, thanks!

All the episodes that nick has released, which is everything but this weeks, are in the op. Not going to tell you where to get them the bad way, just have to wait until nick puts it up or you know, google.

I dont know why you guys are complaining about LOK. Yes it was rushed and little underwhelming and i hated the romance with Mako and Korra but in the end it all tied up nicely. They did preety good job with the limited time they had to work with and overall it was really good.
The visions of Korra make more sense because Amon was still somehow tied with them. I still beleive Amon is not dead and he will make a comeback in the next season. The thing is, there was no reason for them to have had so little time in the first place. The first show was widely successful and they could easily have asked for a larger episode order, they were given an order for a second season anyway. If Legend of Korra was anywhere between 16-20 episodes I think it could have been paced much better. Some scenes in the finale were absolutely atrocious, and I'm not sure if it was because of time constraints or just poor writing. Korra arriving to save the fleet and only saving one guy(who happens to be the general) and neither of them making any effort to save anyone else was absolutely retarded. It made Iroh seem like a horrible general and made no sense for Korra either. Amon suddenly giving up on everything and deciding he wanted to chill with his brother sort of came out of nowhere as well. Everything was wrapped up but it was wrapped up hastily and was really underwhelming. @Disappointing fight scenes in LoK All I have to say is... are you serious? xD They are much better animated, and more epic. There's more variety as well. There are both big bending battles as well as close combat fighting. Please don't tell me the early chi blocking fights didn't get you pumped up. You didn't see that level of animation in TLA. It's not the animation that matters, you're missing the point of why fighting scenes are weaker in LoK. The strength of bending seems much weaker in LoK. There are several reasons for this: - Technology has allowed non-benders to catch up with benders somewhat in terms of firepower and explosions. If an average person has grenades and electric rods and junk, how is being a fire bender special? In ALAB, no fancy guns / motorcycles meant bending was much more of a threat and a wow factor. - Bending power level is weaker in LoK. I don't know if Toph / Aang / those old characters were just much more skilled than these modern day Korra characters, but the fact is the ALAB characters were much better and stronger at bending than LoK ones. It does make sense though. But as a result, the fighting scenes in LoK seem weaker. Think about it, when Toph and Aang busted in to the fire nation and just created massive chaos and destruction, you could just be amazed at how epic the fighting was. Avatar Kiyoshi created a freaking division in a continent with her powers. Korra can barely knock off 2 chi benders. In LoK, they have trouble doing 1v2 or 1v1 with chi blockers and acrobatic non-bending fighters with fancy weapons. In ALAB, it seemed like the characters could topple an entire army by themselves (and they did). You remind me of a person who only looks for graphics in a game. It's the content that matters my friend. Korra fight scenes are much better animated but also much weaker at the same time.
You're missing the point of my post... I am saying I like the action more. I understand why bending is overall seemingly weaker or seen less often.

LOL what?
You can argue that the original series was better in some ways like pacing and character development, but animation and in particular battle scenes were of much higher quality.

There are plenty of places to find them. Just use google.
I'm watching the entire of the original TLAB's season 1 and I have to admit that the bending in it is much more impressive in the original. I can sorta understand why they've reduced the strength of bending to implement the whole 'bender vs non-bender' storyline, it does reduce the impressiveness of it a little.

I know, I've found places, thanks Firebolt. I just disagree with you saying that me watching LoK from a pirate site instead of the nick site because I can't is doing it the "bad way", that's just stupid.

"It'll take time for her to accept what has happened"

Bitch, I need time to accept what has happened. Korra and Aang took what, at least two seasons, before their love ever was consummated (not literally, but I can't think of another word ATM), and this all takes place in about thirty seconds.

Idk how you cant see the difference, but keep fooling yourself I guess.

Loved the ending, the subtle hint towards suicide and then the epic avatar state. Nerd chills all over.

Well that fucking sucked. Oh no hes not who he says he is, societal issues solved! See ya later evil benders, its not like you had a legitimate concern that needed to be addressed And I really enjoy plot twists with absolutely no foreshadowing, oh hey btw tarrlock is alive and he has a second son and that son is amon and he wants to take away the worlds bending because, what exactly?, his father was mean to him. Good thing they killed him off, how dare he stand up for the weak. Fuck.
And holy shit, and the girl-father scenes were trash. I can't believe a professional wrote that dialog and then a producer looked it over and was like "yep, gold. Put that in the finale". God I'm so fucking disappointed, I held out hope that things would get better. That they'd address the issues plaguing this show since the beginning in the finale. Well a big fuck you to me, thanks you money grubbing shits. Oh and Korra is sad, heres everyone bending back. ARE YOU FUCKING WITH ME. God fuck children's shows, fuck nick, and fuck Korra; how dare I expect anything but mindless drivel. Thank goodness there are responsible tv producers talking down to the next generation
