Animation 1: I'm Not Bad, I'm Just Drawn That Way
A thread to discuss television and online animation.
HOLY SHIT THEY DID THE THING.
I'll wait till more people have watched it but spoilers, the finale is great and wonderful and yeah I have emotions and stuff.
(Also you should definitely avoid any places you think might spoil you like...the entire Internet? I don't know. Watch out, I'm saying.)
I’m hard-pressed to think of any long-form TV series, any at all, that ended as perfectly as both Avatar and Korra have.
SUCK IT, LOST!! SUCK IT, GALACTICA!!!
THAT was a wonderful ending to the series.
That was nicely done. Tied up a lot of things, resolved a lot of character dynamics, and even democratized the Earth Kingdom!
Well done, show!
even democratized the Earth Kingdom
When Wu was first introduced, I never expected that they'd, like, actually develop him and make me kind of like him.
So much to love about the finale. I especially loved how, just like in the A:TLA finale, every single fucking character played an important role. Even Meelo got his chance to shine, finally!
So sad it's all over!!!
Wu came through, Varrick came through.
The reason my kids love this show (and A:TLA) so much is that kids are vital and treated like people. They are expected to come through and respected for their power and ideas.
Vanity Fair weighs in on the season and the finale with some spoilers at the end: [link]
Technically it's got spoilers the whole way through, including the URL and the header image. It's a good piece, though.
The AVClub recap was late getting up, and you can tell that the writer put a lot of effort into it.
