+ Show Spoiler [S2 ending theory] + Unalak wants to seal vaatu inside himself and become the "dark avatar". That's why he's so eager to free vaatu despite him trying to destroy the world etc. | ||

Come on. That's just embarrassing. That's like having the president hand over a nuclear missile to a bunch of terrorists because they had a person hostage. Holy shit Korra is by far the most incompetent avatar to have ever existed. What did she really think would happen when she opened the portal? That they'd give Jinora back and let her live? The objectivley best think Korra can do right now is die and hope that the next reincarnation of the Avatar isn't as much of an absolute moron as her. | ||

Do you really expect Korra to say 'yes I'm going to sacrifice my master's daughter because logically it's the best thing to do.' | ||

I just wish Western animation had the balls to get more serious. It's obvious that they can do it really well if they just wanted to. ;_; that wan dying bit...omg so good so sad also was really useful to explain the cycle. | ||

You mean the part where there is no avatar powerful enough to do literally anything for 10K years because BBES will just keep it in check? Yeah, clearly the best course of action. | ||

Yeah, clearly the best course of action. You know, if Korra killed herself at the beginning of this season, absolutely nothing bad would have happened. The south may have still been invaded, but there's no way that the north could afford such a long-range war with the south over a long period of time. Dark spirits would stop being a problem after harmonic convergence passed and the portals would have never opened. Everything Korra has done this season has only made the situation worse. While she may be more useful alive and able to fight Vaatu, what makes you think she won't just mess the world up even more? The fact remains that she is objectively the worst avatar to have ever existed. | ||

The fact remains that she is objectively the worst avatar to have ever existed. It would have been the first convergence where one spirit was on one plane and the other was on another. Nobody knows for sure what would have happened. If we're giving Korra the genre savvy 4th wall awareness to make her want to kill herself to not mess things up, she'd also know that she can stay alive to get to the end of the season where she fixes everything. Also, yeah, completely valid to say she's the worst ever when she's only lived through less than 1/10th of her natural lifespan and we don't know the full timeline of ANY avatar over the last 10k years. Living up to your name here. | ||

Pretty sure a lot of people died in that war. | ||

In chronological order, the others were Tui, Yue, Zhao, Chin, Aang, Roku, Fang, and Combustion Man.  and lol Shock710 is right ^^ | ||

Part of the reason why TLA was so good was that they had Zuko who started off as an incredibly unlikable, immature kid with daddy issues. The whole first season was pretty much set up for Zuko to be a huge dick to everyone including Iroh, and then they spent a whole 1.5 seasons on him dealing with his internal conflicts before, finally, in the latter half of the last season he is able to resolve his internal conflicts and become a polar opposite of what he once was. I mean, I don't really have to explain this to anyone to who watched TLA, Zuko's character was one of the pillars of the TLA storyline but it took nearly 3 seasons for them to fully flesh it out. Giving us just one season for Korra's character development is already cutting it down close, and doing it as they have so far.. it just hasn't been handled as well as it was during TLA. | ||

Even if they consider her "done for the season" (which, hopefully, is a big if considering there's still 4 episodes to go), there are still two more seasons to go afterward... so they can't be totally done with her! | ||
