Same here, I think he is a prodigy but doesn't know it and have the confidence in himself.

Ehh, I think that's old Bolin. New Bolin knows he's a bad arse and that he's one of the best benders in the world. I think Kuvira mostly brought him on for both PR and to be a body guard to her like Mako is to Wu. Very few people would openly frick with a lavabender.

Bolin could wreck shop with lava. Wish he would use it more.

Ive been trying to think of an actual real world skill that is comparable to bending. As in one where you could say you are the best in the world and it would mean something. I cant. Not fighting. Not running. Not sword play.

Kuvira is one heartless bitch. ..

So she used Bataar Jr and will stop at nothing to conquer what looks like everything now if she is willing to pull the shite she is doing. She looks at herself as all powerful just like the fire lord did. The finale should be awesome and I can't wait. We get a double dose next week

Just when I was getting used to the robot suits, an idea that I thought was kind of stupid. They introduced a GIANT robot.

Yeah it was more than just a bit ridiculous. I liked the tank/rail setup.

Yeah, giant robot was a little much. I think they were trying to convey an insurmountable challenge. The super weapon on the rail doesn't bring that to me as it would be a lot easier to take out and it would have limited mobility. Just one of those things you have to take it as is.

Well shite has certainly hit the fan today. Kuvira just don't give a frick. She is ready to kill anyone that stands in her way. Straight up killed the dudes on the guard tower.

Also she is using a Goddamn Jeager to attack the city. Since this is going to be the series the finale, we better have a dramatic death. This episode's ending was pretty damn good but Nick shite the bed with their preview clip.

Please for the love of God Netflix, pick up another Avatar series

Well, last week's really took it up a notch. Kuvira is ruthless as frick, seemingly just as ruthless as Ozai was. Really great set up, and actually I like the giant mechasuit, especially since I'm sure they took the idea from Naussica and are doing well with it. Can't wait to see how it all ends tonight.

I really hope this isn't the end of the franchise today. It's a very special world with nearly endless possibilities. I really hope they complete the cycle. If they put this back onto Netflix, then the series will be continued to be seen for many years to come. I really think Avatar as a whole is timeless and will be continued to be watched for decades to come. Let Mike and Bryan go off and let their creativity shine in some other universe they can use their imagination, and hopefully to God they do it away from Nick and Viacom. Would love if Netflix just hired them, told them to make anything they want, and just have faith that the finished product will be incredible like all of their products have been before. They just haven't really ever been on the right channel, with both Invader Zim and Avatar being poor fits for Nick and the rest of their shite. Or hell, I'd love if Pixar brought them in as well and let them shoot off some ideas to them, since I think they could do great in that company as well.

If this series has legs like I think it will, then I hope in 10 years or less that M&B will return to this universe and complete the Cycle. There are still many more tales that can be told here, and really hope this isn't the end. We'll know the end in less than 2 hours when it airs, and I've loved this series.

And really, while Korra slightly annoyed me the first two seasons, I've grown to really love her character. Really, Korra's arc is much like Zuko's, we just meet her before everything goes to shite. I doubt many if any Avatars have gone through the trauma that she has. While Kuvira isn't like this, the other villains were custom groomed to take her down and destroy her inner spirit, and they succeeded. It's been great to see her build back up and I hope we get a satisfactory conclusion to her story tonight.

Well, that was a fantastic finale, and you will know at the end, with all the murder, the anarchists, the post traumatic stress disorder, and everything in between, that canceling the series over ratings was 100% bullshite cover like canceling "The Interview". There was a specific reason this show was taken off the air. Viacom pussed out yet again, but at least we got the finished product. Just watch it.

That was a damn good way to end the series although not as good as The Last Airbender it was still really good. Did not see Asami's dad getting axed off, that was pretty surprising. They sure teased the deaths of Mako and Opal though. In fact I don't think I saw Opal in the final act. Pretty sure I missed her.

But that ending Oh damn they actually made that cannon. I can't wait to hear someone piss themselves over that. But credit to Mike and Bryan for having the balls to go for it. The Reddit page is freaking out though

Sad that it's all over now but there will be the comics and hopefully another series down the road. As long as Nick stays the frick away the next Avatar series could be one of the best series ever. Mike and Bryan are damn geniuses

Just finished. I did not think what they hinted at at the end was at all necessary. But whatever. Doesn't affect me.

I'm banned from Reddit, unfortunately.

Though that may just be a particular subreddit. Anyway, I boycott the site now in silent protest. I am not surprised people that frequent reddit wanted something like that to happen. Total opposite political make-up as tigerdroppings, hence why I was banned.
