Im just going to put my thoughts of episode 13 and 14 here. In no particular order here's some stuff I liked: Seeing Zhao again was a nice treat. His immediate agreession toward Tenzin also made a lot of sense too Eska and Desna coming to their senses and turning against their father was great, even if Eska's relationship with Bolin was kinda up in the air for pretty much that whole sequence Music was great again. That shot of all the benders working together against the spirits was great, kinda odd that they had Mako lightningbending rather than firebending, but whatever. Mako and Korra formally breaking up was good, even if their reason for breaking up did seem kinda contrived from the beginning of the season, but whatever. Nice to see a somewhat healthy relationship dynamic here, and even better to have this love triangle finally put in the ground. Varrick escaping was just a great scene, and I'm hoping we'll be seeing more of him in the future. Now the not so great stuff... I felt pretty much nothing at all during both fights between Korra and Unalaq, and despite the stakes being so high, I honestly had no clue where the stakes were. A lot of this is due to how ATLA established such a strict power ceiling, as well as consistent power dynamics. Like in the finale of ATLA (I don't like comparing them either, but I kinda have to now) once Aang got into the Avatar state, you knew it was over, you just didn't now how. You knew pretty much nobody could beat Azula in a 1v1, and you knew outside of their respective elements earth and waterbenders were rather weak, or even powerless. Meaning going into a fight, you knew those rules would be followed, and you knew that in order for an underdog to pull out a win against a more powerful character, they'd have to pull some sort of trick or enlist help from someone else, otherwise they're screwed. This season just chucked all that out the window. Now Unalaq is a dark avatar, now he's got this weird tentacle thing coming out of him, now there's all these flashing lights... while normally having no clue who's going to win a fight would be a good thing, in this case it wasn't: I knew Korra was gonna win overall because duh, but I had no reason to believe so in terms of the show. How powerful an Avatar is Unalaq? How powerful is Korra right now? Can Unalaq bend all elements immediately, or does he need to train for that? Why is Korra's Avatar state so weak, and how is Unalaq immediately able to activate his own? While obviously a huge exposition dump to explain all of this would be kinda stupid, it all just felt out of nowhere. Now Unalaq severing the connection to the past Avatars... I'll admit I would normally not be entirely opposed to this event. Its just how it was done that was so wrong. No real build up, no warning from Raava (at least I don't recall) that this might happen, just some slaps from Unalaq and there goes 3 fan-favorite characters in less than a minute (sorry Kuruk and Yangchen stans). And it wasn't even done in the sort of way characters will tend to "die" in this show- normally slowly, with swelling scores, tears, after the fight is over and they've said their last words. While admittedly that is a tad corny and we all know it, it definitely beats them randomly getting deleted in the middle of an action sequence. Korra losing her connection to Raava and going into the tree only to find that, "the power was inside her the whole time" or something like that was kinda cheesy anyway, but when it occurred to me that Raava no longer had anything to do with any of it, that essentially means that pretty much anyone with the willpower needed could have just meditated in that tree and turned into a giant teleporting spirit thing? Its the stuff like this that bugs me, so many completely new ideas chucked at the show at the last second, with seemingly very little thought put into it. The final battle with giant Unalaq was just kinda meh honestly. And besides that I mean talk about whiplash, going from a really subdued Korra grieving the loss of Raava and the past avatars, to a few minutes later when there's too giant energy beings shooting lasers at each other while towering over the skyscrapers of a city that's totally not NYC, with the evil giant totally not destroying a fleet of warships on their way to fight Godzilla. And then Jinora showed up. Don't get me wrong, I loved Jinora as a character, and still do. But this scene broke me. Racking my brain trying to figure out what the heck was going on, and then Jinora got all glowy, and then something glowed in Vaatu, and then Raava was somehow alive. It was at this point that I just decided that me not being able to understand this may not have been my fault. Also was an explanation ever given as to why Jinora has some spiritual connection? Because that being left indistinct was fine when it was just having spirits following her around, but now this might be a bit much. Sooo... the Avatars are gone for good now, despite Raava being reconnected to the Avatar. So I guess this means Raava didn't contain the avatar's souls, or maybe she's like the power cable to Korra, which now that it got severed the avatar data was corrupted because Korra didn't shut down properly before disconnecting. I dunno honestly. Wonder if she should've just saved Aang and the others to the cloud instead... Overall this season gets a solid B- from me, at least relative to season 1. I honestly expected to hate it more, and while I couldn't stand the finale, the rest was pretty solid, even if it felt like Tenzin, Bolin, and Varrick had to carry every scene they were in. On to season 3!!

I never would’ve thought this episode is the one where Spartan is visibly teary eyed lmao

Book 3 in my personal opinion is where Korra is done justice. The writing and the impact that the season has is immense and is honestly my favourite season of Korra. Can't wait to see your reactions to it!

Soundtrack, beautiful as ever. Korra's parentings hugging at the end #toocute.

Loved this reaction a lot! I pretty much agree with everything you guys said. Season 2 definitely has its issues, but overall I have always quite enjoyed it and never understood the absolute hate it gets. Soooo excited for season 3! It’s my personal favorite season of Korra and one of my favorite season of the whole ATLA/Korra universe. Can’t wait to watch with you guys!

Mitch Krueger

Book 3 is on Par with Book 3 of ATLA!

Sorry to tell you but no amount of work will bring her past lives back. By detaching from raavva it's like she's starting over again. In another 10k years they'll look to her as the first avatar technically.

ParsivalXP

And the next avatar will only have a connection to korra forever

Zephyr

Spartan's "She's like an avatar learning to be a human" perfectly encapsulates Korra. Since in ATLA, Aang was just a boy learning how to be the avatar.

A good season, but not the best out of the four. You're in for the best 2 seasons of the show though after this. Agreed with Pudgey on Mako and Korra, they were very unhealthy for each other in a relationship, bringing out the worst in each other. It's also important to remember that if a relationship breaks up that badly, it will always put a strain on people's trust in each other, and it's understandable that Korra didn't trust Mako, but even more importantly, herself to not make the same mistakes. Korra knows she doesn't really know what she wants yet, as evidenced by her annoyance when Mako both supported her view and later didn't really support her view. I think Unalaq is the "weakest" of the villains we've had in ATLA, though I do think the story he allowed to be told, that of the original Avatar Wan and the reflection it gave Korra on what her connection meant and losing that connection and such was definitely worth the time.

Y’all gonna flip in season 3 it’s just too epic lol

Ekaterine Kav

I believe they purposefully made it open-ended so that later seasons could be green lighted

Mitch Krueger

Spartan is gonna lose his flipping mind for a certain moment this season. I won’t even hint.

Kevin Spores

Season 3 is gonna be blast I know you guys are gonna enjoy it especially when it comes to character development.

Matt

This is a total side thing, but I just wanna give major props to your continuously improving skills as reactors. You guys have always been very enjoyable to watch, but just listening to the post-viewing discussions recently has been really refreshing. Its been super impressive to watch people who are already good at what they do get even better! I think you brought up really good points about enjoyable moments in this season maybe not aging as well on rewatches of the show. Season 2 is almost universally considered the worst of ATLA/TLOK. There were definitely some plot points that seemed unfinished or confusing. A giant blue person and a giant red person shooting energy out of their chests to try and destroy each other never felt it very-avatary to me personally. Good thing season 3 is amazing :) Last thing from me, I actually completely disagree about Lin being a bland character in season 1. She was consistently headstrong, but ultimately sacrificed her career and her bending to try and take Amon down. That felt like a pretty dynamic character arc imo. Looking forward to more great videos!!

Devin e

Without spoiling why, S3 and a large amount of S4 you will love

Ezgi Cinar

The best book of all time.

Anton Bergmann Jr.

I am going to be so sad when you guys finish this series
