Watched. Really enjoyed it. The scene where
Spoiler:
Korra had to resist the avatar state was a great idea. For the first time the AS felt like a weakness rather than boost in power. And of course once she broke free she kicked some ass in it. It was impressive. Although I'm kind of disappointed in the way Zaheer went down, felt very... Ozai. Pretty pathetic. Was nice to hear Steve Blumm's voice as Amon again. And other baddies of the show.
It was a good finale but I do want to point something out
Spoiler:
so we're just going to glossed over Mako killing someone? Also if airbenders can fly by letting go of all their earthly attachments, shouldn't Aang have been able to do since there was a whole friggin episodes dedicated to him unlocking his chakras and stuff. Oh and Jinora Christ makes a triumphant return: she didn't descend from the heavens this time though. And the jobbering of Ghazan was a sight to behold. Now I guess we just have to pretend none of this happened because another bad guy is bound to show up. Also does this mean Zaheer>>>Comet amped Ozai?
JUST AS A WARNING I WILL NOT GO THROUGH THE TEDIUM OF SPOILER TAGGING EVER SEPARATE POINT WAKKA BROUGHT UP NOR MY RESPONSES. DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FINALE YET.
ONCE MORE SPOILERS AHEAD.

Spoiler:
P'Li literally blows her ****ing skull to pieces thanks to Suyin and Mako electrocuting Ming-Hua struck you as too much? Ming-Hua's death isn't even confirmed like P'Li's.
Spoilered this because it was lol

It's almost like Aang being unable to let go of his earthly attachment to Katara was a plot point or something.
Oh and Jinora Christ makes a triumphant return: she didn't descend from the heavens this time though.
All she did was astral project. She's not even the only one who could do it.
And the jobbering of Ghazan was a sight to behold.
Considering that he needed both brothers to beat him (Even with Bolin's new-found lava bending) whereas Ming-Hua was bested by one I'm not sure it's jobbing.
Now I guess we just have to pretend none of this happened because another bad guy is bound to show up.
Whatever this means lol.
Also does this mean Zaheer>>>Comet amped Ozai?
Nah. Zaheer fought a much weaker Avatar State (She's cut off from her past lives, remember?) who was driven mad and weakened by a deadly toxin. Even then, he couldn't really maintain a solid advantage over Korra until she finally succumbed to the poison.

Aang eventually had to do it which is how he got access to the Avatar State again. Shouldn't every fully realized avatar other than Korra had done the same?
She also rallied the other airbenders to use a perfectly sound strategy while everyone was making "Oh no!" faces.
Ming Hua waste vested due to environmental advantage being flipped on its head. Ghazan was by far a better bender than either brother and lost because reasons.
Hey it happened with Am on and Unaloq.
Even weakened, Korra was still a powerful avatars. Also while Zaheer was in the defensive, he didn't shit himself like Ozai did.
Semi-Suicide? It's straight up retaliatory murder. That's how Sokka killed Combustion Man as well. Hit his 3rd eye right as he was about to attack. It's the same for P'li, except instead of her body being blown apart, just her head got pulped.
She was surrounded by water...why wouldn't he use it?
Zaheer only knew about Flight/Weightlessness because he was a devout follower of Guru Laghima's teachings. Aang was 12 when he left the Air Nation, so there's a good chance he never learned. Also he was never in a circumstance like Zaheer where he'd need to attempt it at the risk of his life.
Jinora has always been level headed and leadership material. Also as the most senior Airbender after her father who was in no condition to do anything, it makes sense. It was also common sense for someone used to the culture.
Ghazan lost only because Mako caught him off guard. If he'd decided to fight, he still could have potentially come away the victor, but he tried to kill all of them instead.
He didn't shit himself because unlike Ozai, Zaheer had been fighting personally for his beliefs the entire time. Also he knew it was only a matter of time before the posion made her too weak to fight and killed her even if he couldn't. He was ready to die to bring about the new world. Ozai sat in his throne room, and the entire series he only fought 3 times. And the two times he fought Zuko couldn't even be considered that. The first time he gave him the scar and Zuko refused to fight. The second time Zuko redirected his lightning and Ozai ran off.
He'd never faced anyone as ferocious and powerful as Aang. Even then he was winning for like the first half of the fight.
Spoiler:
In regards to P'Li and Ming Hua, all I can say is... DAMN, that was f**king brutal! This series seems to have far fewer reservations about making sure someone gets f**king dealt with. haermmSpeaking of which, considering the main Red Lotus members (that we know about) are now dead, is it considered somewhat of a plausible plot hole that they weren't just iced to begin with while they were in captivity? I'm not trying to make a big deal out of an otherwise relatively small issue. I'm just legit curious.
Anyways, I kinda wish Zaherr would have went down more honestly. I agree that it was kinda Ozai-esque. Still, I can't pretend to be disappointed. 😄
This finale was absolutely phenomonal! 👆

they were basically bullshitting about her looking better to make her not feel so shit. The presentation and Korra crying at the end really made me think it was going to last for a long time. I'd count on an episode or two at least about Korra recovering.
Spoiler:
Tenzin's conversation with the President was open and candid since Korra was gone. He said she'd be okay, but she just needed time to recover. He even volunteered the Air Nation to act as a Nomadic Police Force to help keep the peace in her absence while she recuperated. An episode or two at the most with her being pretty much ready but not everyone is convinced. Or she's good right off the bat. One of those I think.

Zaheer is best villain
I'm STILL pulling for Azula on that front. I think all the Avatar villains have been pretty damn great in their own ways. Azula for charisma, competence and tragedy, Ozai for Mark Hamill and dat fight, Amon for sheer presence and intimidation, Vaatu for scale and epicness and Zaheer for being interesting and his team being a nice reflection of Team Avatar.
