In a show with four seasons and 14 episodes per season max...with so many different characters, situations, locations and circumstances, it's really really difficult to do any more buildup than they already did. It started in season three, strengthened in season 4 and finally culminated.Â
When people say it came out of left field I feel like they really didn't notice season three and season four's little hints. Mind you, given that the ENDING itself was as smooth and subtle as possible, we couldn't exactly expect a powerful buildup. Not to mention it's still a kids' show that adults can watch, in the end! They did what they could and I love them for it. I will never call a step in the right direction pandering -- because with stepping in the right direction, someone's gotta give.
OTHER THAN THE ROMANCE STUFF. THEY SCARED ME SO MUCH AFTER ASAMI'S DAD. LIKE. DUDE. I know they usually had like two deaths per season max...BUT. AFTER SEEING SATO BITE IT, THAT SPIRIT VINE CORE SCENE WITH MAKO GOT A LITTLE INTENSE FOR ME.Â
Kuvira and Korra's fight was a ride. Short, but just as brutal, stubborn and to the point as the characters were expected to be, with AMAZING music to accompany it.Â
Before that, the scene after Sato's sacrifice when they were running up the machine to get in and Korra had to water/ice bend to keep Kuvira from smashing them. Everything about that. The music, the motions, the sequence of events, Kuvira's expression -- small irises, the sweat, the panic/rage. So so well done. SO MANY SHOWS LEAVE IMPORTANT THINGS LIKE THIS OUT.Â
It was a fun ride, and I don't regret having stuck with the series at all.
It did give me feels, too. Always feelsy when something good ends.
*remembers resisting the urge to sob hysterically when LOST ended*
