Case in point the scene where the Beifong sisters Suyin and Lin were taking on the combustion bender chick, P'Li. Combustion bending, a subset of fire-bending, allows for super concentrated explosive energy blasts projected from an eye tattoo on the forehead. Lin distracts P'Li by earth bending several boulders at her, which she easily blasts into smithereens (first time I've ever typed that word out lol). Lin gets knocked down and right before P'Li delivers the finishing...blast as it were, Su'yin metal-bends her chest piece around the head of P'Li.
My reaction: Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!??!?!
Such a satisfying ending for such a wretched character lol All in all, it was a pretty fantastic season. The network really needs to get it together though, because the way they aired the show was just downright disrespectful. Little to no promotion for the season before it aired, 2 episodes a week, then yanking the show off the air halfway through the season and putting the remaining episodes online? The show deserves better than that. Ahhh, well c'est la vie.
Other scenes of note:
It's a bird, it's a plane its......Zaheer flying???! Whaaaaaaaat??
Korra in the avatar state vs. Superman Zaheer. Very reminiscent of Aang vs Fire Lord Ozai
And finally, Jinora receiving her tattoos and becoming a full fledged air-bending master. She looks just like Aang!!!
Oh! and my favorite quote of the entire Avatar series came from this season:
"When you base your expectations only on what you see, you blind yourself to the possibilities of a new reality."
