Hey everybody~! I've been following the Mini-Series Avatar:Legend of Korra for the past while, being a HUGE fan of the original Series, and I must say this series has been just as amazing as the last ^^

So I decided to express my love for this show by talking about the latest installment of the series, the season finale to be exact, called "Skeletons in the Closet+End Game"(Yes, I realize how late I am on this, but unfortunately I was unable to watch the special the day it aired since I had somewhere to go, so I had to wait until Nick had it on their site and such XP Sorry~)

AND OH MY GOD. IT WAS THE BEST FREAKING THING EVER. ALL MY FEELS,ALL OF THEM.

I've been like, high on the sheer awesome since I watched it, it was just....amazing:iconfinallyplz:

For once I don't believe I have a favorite scene, it was all so epic..:iconiloveyouplz:

To name a few I found especially great:

Asami vs. Mr Sato fight: Yeah, you go Asami~!:dummy: for one of the less-talked-about scenes, I found it to be awesome, mainly because it just had alot of Asami epicness X3 I love this character, and I feel bad for how much crap she gets throughout her time in the series, As much as I love Makkorra, I think Asami is really cool, I admit I wasn't a fan of her at first, since part of me was convinced she was like, an equalist-temptress-spy or something at first XD But after that one episode where she chose to go against her father instead of be evil with him, my respect for her leaped. She's surprisingly developed for someone who felt like such a side-character at first, but quickly became one of the regulars, and also one of my favorites:heart:

Amon/Noatok's Backstory: I actually felt bad for them ;.; mainly Tarrlok, which is odd, since I just HATED him after the episode where he threw the gang in jail and everything, but now that I know his story, I feel alittle bad for him. And the whole "Amon is my brother" thing COMPLETELY shocked me, my sister and I were watchingthe episodes together, and when that came up we both literally cried out "WHAT!?" in unison, shit you not XD It's funny, because beforehand we had been wondering if Amon and Tarrlok had some sort of connection in the past, like if they were allied or even the same person in disguise, but it never dawned on us they could've been related, so we were both mentally kicking ourselves for neglecting that thought.

Noatok/Amon and Tarrlok's deaths: This scene u; ultimately surprised the hell out of me, the buildup to it also made it pretty depressing too, especially when Noatok is like "You're all I have left." and then BAM! This scene a few minutes after. When Tarrlok got the glove I at first thought he was just gonna shock Noatok or something, but instead he goes and just blows up the boat. Damn..

Bumi: We must see more of this guy, enough said.

Korra in the Avatar State: FINALLY. I was so hyped at the near-end of the Episode when that happened, Korra was so badass~!! X3 It almost makes up for not seeing the Avatar state beforehand in the other Episodes, and the brief but epic Aang bit with the past Avatars was awesome:heart:(And I love that one line he says: "When we hit our lowest point, we are open to the greatest Change.") And the old-series-esque soundtrack to back it all up..the sheer nostalgia had me tearbending~ :'D

Iv'e noticed an equal amount of people who loved this scene also seemed to dislike this scene under the belief that Korra may have mastered the Avatar State the moment she learned how to use it, and also she is now a fully-realized Avatar and whatnot, which I really don't think is the case at all, for one thing, we just saw her in the Avatar State,  but we weren't told or shown much proof that she had perfected it, just used it, and another thing, I'm sure that scene wasn't meant to address her being a fully-realized Avatar, since she still isn't at this point anyways, as she hasn't yet Mastered Air, and she still needs to work on her spiritual stuff, plus the Avatar State itself, but instead was supposed to show she finally had a full connection to the side of her she had neglected for most of her life.

The Makkorra Kiss: Fuck.Yes. I absolutely adore this couple ^^(Though I admit, I find Borra really adorable aswell~)I admit, at first I didn't know how I felt about the two being together at first(this was my opinion prior to the episode where Asami appeared, so at that point I just felt it was guaranteed they would hook up XD) but I quickly grew to really love it:la: I put unbelievable amounts of concentration into not freaking out when Korra said "I love you too." It was just..!!:iconcheeringplz: I almost died from adorableness X3 As much as a douche Mako has been to Asami over the season, I couldn't help but forgive him alittle ^^'


Now that Season One is over, I'm really wondering what exactly the second Season will be about, since the main conflict of this Season is obviously, unable to be around to cause trouble anymore, and also the sheer fact that the finale had such a huge sense of closure that it felt more like a series finale then a season finale(because apparently the whole thing was only supposed to be one season, but it was so popular they reconsidered~)
It's been keeping me guessing since I finished watching the finale, so what do you guys think will happen next? feel free to comment your thoughts, and chioas~!
