Board 8 > The Legend of Korra Discussion(SPOILERS)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ok so I finally saw the finale and What the Hell.

They gave us all that Aman exposition in one go...really? Then have him killed off?

They never explained how Aman could steal people's powers when only Aang has been shown to do so.

It's like...they had such a good thing going with this show and somehow rushed the finale

It's just a season finale, right? There's gonna be more, right?

There's a confirmed second season.

And I think the finale tried to tie up all the loose ends because it was originally suppose to be just a one season mini series.

There's always hope for better things in life. But you can't let anything, friend, lover, God himself, be your hope. You have to be your own hope.

Yeah but you don't end a season on that kind of note.

We've spent this entire season waiting to get a little info on Aman and they give us his entire backstory and exposition in the last 15 minutes of the finale? Then they end with him getting blown up in a boat? If that was a fake death even worse; then you're just faking it to trick people pointlessly and add a facade of mystery.

I think me and alot of people assumed this revolution would last multiple seasons with Aman getting a little bit of exposition and then getting little by little.

The Finale had great moments but overall it just didn't close the season like it should've.

some sort of blood clot or nerve severing in the brain apparently

They said what everyone was thinking, it's just some sort of bloodbending trick, but they didn't explain how/why it works. That is my biggest problem with the Amon exposition. They introduced things that seems theoretically impossible, like non-full moon bloodbending, psychic bloodbending, and taking bending with bloodbending, but didn't explain them at all.

In the original series, you had impossible things like metalbending fully explained, and in only like 20 seconds of screentime. Bloodbending took a little longer, but they fully explained that too, and lightning bending/redirection too. That deep detail was what I really liked about the original series.

Obviously this season was just gonna be a 12 episode spinoff, so they couldn't go into the 60 episodes of detail that the original series had, but yeah that was kinda disappointing.

The scene with Tarlokk and Noatok on the boat was A++ and made the finale, though.

Yeah, it was really, really short.

Sometimes I think Nick tries to ruin all the good things that happen to them.

If I had to guess the bending thing probably involves attacking chakra centers or something as the chakra pathways and blood vessels are pretty close to being the same thing. Still would be farfetched, but well in line with the aesthetic the show has.

There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out

there were still some "impossible" things in the original series that remained unclear, like Combustion Man's ability, though that wasn't a major plot point like taking bending away has been.
