Kuvira, after trapping people in a rock triangle: "You are weak"

If Korra's going to deal with realistic dictators, though, they've got to give Kuvira some depth. I got excited when it looked like she was going into the AS because it would have been the first interesting thing about her character

I dunno, Kuvira seems like the weakest villain we've seen in the show. Doesn't seem like she could survive Aang's elemental orb of terror, or the hulked-out Korra we saw last season. As soon as Korra turned on the AS she blew Kuvira away; she was in way over her head.

Ack! Curses, foiled again!

Did Kuvira really think she could beat Korra if she used the Avatar State? If Korra hadn't had that random episode of PTSD at the exact moment that she was about to strike Kuvira, then that lady would be toast. Pretty cocky on her part, seeing as she had no knowledge of Korra's mental state.

Wait- "Dolls" is a reference to The Strangers? How? What?

That batgirl comic sounds painful. Talk about forced social commentary…

This was a pretty good episode, but Zuko's flashbacks were much, much better than Korra's. "Dad's going to kill you!" is one of the best lines in the series.

What does everyone think: is nega korra real, or ptsd? I thought that with the dog barking at nega korra the writers were confirming that she was an actual person, not a figment. I'm going to be really disappointed if she isn't real!

"And as your brother's fiance…"
"I can't wait to go back to being a detective at republic city"
"Bolin and I have been growing apart. How is YOUR 3 year relationship going?"
AAAAAAAAARrrrrrg no, stoooop. This could be the last season of Avatar EVER, don't start it with D+ writing. With all that said, that 20 second…

I have no way of proving this, but I'd say that if Mako wasn't written in as Korra's love interest then Asami wouldn't even have existed. The thing with her dad just felt like a way for the writers to give her something to do. Her main story purpose was "romantic competition for Korra". The writers have said in the…

She was opposing Varrick in season 2. She was head of her father's corporation and finally had responsibilities of her own. In season 1 the main reason why she was in the story was because she was mako's love interest. Of course it's kind of pointless arguing which season has the better Asami, because she's never…

Yeah, Lin and Asami were pretty stupid in Season 2. Both seasons had a bunch of little problems, but season 2 made up for its quirks because it seemed like the storyteller lived on the same planet as their audience! When Mako and Korra got together, it felt wrong, because most humans would disapprove of two people…

What I said about S1 of Korra is that it was a tightly structured story that had terrible payoffs for its story arcs. S1 was a lean, mean stupid machine, whereas S2 had some flab but also had a lot more brains. I think that's accurate- I don't think I've "completely misidentified" anything.

Look, I wasn't a fan of season 2 either. But the things I listed were at least attempts at addressing the problems people had with the show. Many of them were successful. Imagine how much worse S3 would have been if Korra and Mako were still together.

I'd have to disagree. Rewatch the first episode of that season- it explcitly addresses a ton of the kinks that S1 had. For example, fans complained that Bolin didn't have enough to say in Season 1 (his infamous last line was "I'll be quiet now". So in season 2, Asami tells him to shut up while she makes a deal with…

Whaaaat! The ending of Korra Book 1 was 100x worse than anything in Book 2, which was at its worst just a boring attempt to fix the problems created in the previous season. The last minute of Korra Book 1, where she gets her powers back instantly and restores everybody's bending AND makes out with the boy she just…

2 of those I'm pretty ok with them building on in season 4. But yeah, in that last scene with the president I kept looking behind him at the city scape, searching for giant vines.

It was definitely an improvement, and I liked how all the subplots tied up in the end, but I really couldn't get into the first half of the season. Lots of character actions didn't make sense and the story didn't focus on one main problem. However, later Zaheer-focused episodes really turned things around for me.

Not a fan of this season as a whole, but man oh man was this finale amazing. The show runners need to direct a super hero movie because they consistently deliver the most exciting action sequences I've ever seen.
