I agree since the avatar state is sppose to be a last resort. So instant use of it and becoming a master of it would greatly suck.

Agreed very rushed It was kind of a let down in terms of battle action I was expecting Amon to take on the entire team Avatar. We've never seen anyone beat bloodbender except another blood bender. Here it seems your best chance is to sucker punch him.

The whole Tarlok had a secret older brother seems fishy to me. To me it seems as if the writers knew everyone thought Tarlok was Amon so they decided to give Tarlok an older brother as solution that would surprise the fans.

I don't know how to feel about this book cuz it seems to me like they've answered all of unanswered question this series raised

WHo is Amon? check Now they are both gone.

Korra-Mako check (and I was so hoping for a love triangle/square between Korra-Mako-Iroh-Asumi)

Asumi's loyalty don't get me wrong I like her on team Avatar but kind of like to have seen a Zuko-like struggle between family and whats right.

Kora is now air bender and full-pledge Avatar with Avatar state.

My question is where do we go from here...

I know there are a lot of unanswered question regarding the old team Avatar but I doubt they will tackle it here.

No you aren't the only one. The ending seemed very Deus Ex Machina like. Aang shows up and fixes everything for her. I expected something like Aang teaching her to reconnect to the other elements through some other route like she how she started air bending. I also agree with whatever poster mentioned Amon making too many mistakes at the end. I mean he's outside in front of a huge crowd and he's going to blatantly waterbend? I do kind of wish the battle with Amon himself would have been a bit more epic. Maybe ATLA spoiled me a bit, but I was hoping for a bit more. It wasn't bad, just not as good as I was hoping.

I did like the part where Tarlokk blows them up though.

Actually to me Amon didn't look totally conscious when that happened It look like he was drowning and subconsciously he activated his power to save himself so I don't really fault him for that part. I did hope for bigger fight like while he was on that water spout he would use his blood bending to turn the crowd into a puppet army to attack Korra or something like that.

Haha at least now AMon can really say I was burned (If he survived that is oh come on am I the only one thinking there is at least a small chance AMon survived that)

I was expecting the same thing. I partially blame the short season for that. Had they gone with a 20 some odd episode long season I think it would have allowed for Korra to lose her bending like that and have Aang or someone else teach her how to reconnect with each element. It would have also allowed for a slower, more in depth reveal of the villains and more time for character growth. That's one thing I think has been lacking in LOK. Sure there's character growth there, but it seems too fast and somewhat glossed over compared to TLA.

Everything else... amazing.

The WWI combat, plastic surgery and planes building up answers for future questions, the fighting, Iroh, Amon's story (oh please, who didn't see it coming? Aang's flashback had to actually mean something) the difference between Amon and Tarrlok, ASAMI VERSUS HER FATHER, how Korra developed by the end, that suicidal thought moment near the end, Aang, Bolin, Mako's lightningbending, the fact that Korra unlocked the seventh chakra, spiritbending ending that made sense and stuff i'm forgetting.

It was all wonderful, epic, and brought me to tears at a point! (Asami's fight with Sato, the end of it really did it for me.)

Actually Dante is apparently 30 and that's how he really sounds. I think it would have been poetic if Korra who had mastered three of the elements at the start thenby the end wasonly able toAirbend. It would have been Aang's journey reversed.

I doubt they would have made Korrare-learn all the elements since she still knows how to bend she just can't.

i feel like the creators would have done something like that if they'd known at the time that they were getting a season 2. They only found out when they were mostly done with s1, but if not I bet they would have made is so that she was only be able to airbend and then use the rest season to make her relearn the elements all over again. Buut like some other people said that would have been reusing the same plot that was in TLA and would've been boring.
