There's so much more...
While Nickelodeon will forever be ingrained in my mind as "The Company That Tried Ruining Korra," that happily did not ruin the fantastic series finale for me. It is truly bittersweet to see Korra's journey end, but man has it been one heck of a ride.
With the fate of the world once again hanging in the balance, Korra and her friends must band together to save it. However, this battle might cost them everything.
This has always been (in my opinion) Nickelodeon's best show since "Avatar: The Last Airbender" ended. It has taken on even darker, more mature themes than its predecessor. Throughout the running of the show we are given deeper looks at issues concerning equality, spirituality, anarchy, and even dictatorships. This show has managed to combine very adult themes with a children's show in such a seamless fashion, you can't help but wonder why adult oriented shows can't do that.
This season has been a huge commentary on Democracy versus Dictatorship while also showing the gray areas with both sides. We can actually understand the viewpoint of the antagonist (even though we know what they're doing is wrong). It gives us a true look at the complexities of these themes and shows us how far anyone can fall from grace, no matter how well-intentioned they seem to be. This makes the overall theme of redemption all the more powerful. Redemption proves to be the key needed to end the conflict, however, the creators are still willing to show there are consequences to our actions. So if we want redemption, true redemption, we must be willing to face the consequences of our actions.
This finale put all of those themes on a collision course and they collided with true splendor. We find all of the main characters getting their moment to shine in some fantastic action sequences, along with some great characterization, including some truly shocking events. For me, personally, the last five minutes of the show are what truly got my emotions kicked into overdrive. I shall not spoil anything, but it is a great way to end the show.
Once again, "Korra" gives us an animated treat filled with intelligent political, social, and philosophical subtext. There are many shows that would collapse under such weighty themes, but "The Legend of Korra" held them up with true skill. This is all thanks to having a wonderful voice cast, fantastic hero and villain (with many similarities between the two of them), highly-skilled team of writers, and daring set of creators. This show will go down as one of the all-time best animated shows in history, and maybe even as one of the best shows in general. It truly is bittersweet to see it end, but it has been quite a ride.
