Legend of Korra 2x14 REACTION!! "Light in the Dark"

[@mordirit8727]

Jinora has been shown to be incredibly talented at feeling spirit energy, so much so that she could see the small spirits *weeks* before Harmonic Convergence, whereas everyone else took much longer. She used that sensibility to find where Raava was beginning to reborn inside of Vaatu.

[@TheKat12364]

It also seems like they made Jinora the last hope. Like she was the light, young, pure, hopeful. So she brought the last hope, and thus a small piece of Ravva was able to be reborn.

[@innocentdude4968]

You guys forgot Guru Pathik. He had spiritual powers yet he wasn't a bender or an Avatar. It all depends on your Spirit, training, and if where you are has spiritual energy. And you guys keep forgetting about Harmonic Convergence amplifying spiritual energy in the world. They can't just do this anytime of the day.

[@AllAroundNinja]

What were his spiritual powers?

[@innocentdude4968]

Brandon He could feel and connect with the invisible strings that connect everyone. That's how he was able to tell Appa that Aang was in Ba Sing Se. That's an ability that Avatar Aang learned earlier in that Book, in the swamp, and an ability that Avatar Korra learns in Book 4. He was also capable of connecting to the cosmic energy of the universe.

[@wolvesbane1748]

This show was hot garbage

[@lalalalisa41]

Jinora basically helped Korra to find the "light in the dark", which was what Korra was trying to do, hence why she didn't just immediately kill Unavaatu. Remember, all of this happened during Harmonic Convergence where all the spiritual energy of the world is amplified. It's like Sozin's comet in a way, so not everyone can just do it at any other time of the year. What Korra did, she basically tapped into the cosmic energies of the universe DURING Harmonic Convergence and was able to bend her own energy in order to project her own spirit as that. Raava IS the Avatar State and the past lives helped to make it stronger in a way by channeling all their combined knowledge and skill to the current Avatar. Korra will still have access to the Avatar State just as Wan was able to. The cycle of Wan has ended and Korra's cycle has begun. Now every Avatar after Korra will basically be an incarnation of Korra, just as how everyone after Wan was an incarnation of him. Eric, funny how you called the past lives a "crutch", because the creators said the same thing when they were explaining one of the reasons why they decided to cut off Korra's connection to her past lives. As Korra said it herself at the end, she has to forge her own path and not being able to rely on her past lives, she will have to figure things out herself. Oh and the Southern Water Tribe was never independent back in ATLA. They were "independent" because they were separated in communication from the North throughout the duration of the war. So when Korra announced that the South was now independent, it was more of an official thing. CAN'T WAIT FOR S3 WOO!

[@agus-yg3sq]

Hey I am like 2 years late but I recently started watching their reactions and isn't Korra a reincarnation of Wan? Yes she lost her connection to all the past lives but that doesn't change the fact that when Aang died his "soul" reformed in Korra What i am trying to say is that she Is Aang, Roku, Yanchen, Kioshi and Wan, the avatars after Korra would still Be their past lives reincarnated they just won't have this connection to them

[@lalalalisa41]

@@agus-yg3sq Hmm now that I think about it, you're right lol!

[@ramaziotivegito6853]

Also Korra has a new fully grown Raava to empower her and her future incarnations. If you look at the displays of Avatar state of Season 3 and 4 you see that Korra may not have the fighting experience of the past lives but has a lot of power. Do you think Aang or Kyoshi would have been able to bend a nuclear spirit blast and break the dimensions to create a new portal?

[@eawhite782]

When Korra was meditating in the Tree of Time, she used it's connection with the cosmic energy of the universe to tap into that energy herself, similar to how the Avatar state does, which is what allowed her to bend her own energy and create the giant avatar of her own spirit. The Tree of Time was basically a stand-in for Raava for tapping into the cosmic energies.

[@innocentdude4968]

GarikLoran No tapping into the cosmic energy of the universe helps connect with Raava/The Avatar Spirit.

[@thepatriottz9205]

yes but keep in mind what tenzin said "the ancient to used to meditate in the tree of time to bend the energy within themselves" so these ancients did not need the harmonic convergence to do that they were able to do that because in the spirit world is where your spirit is most powerful and also the spiritual strength present inside the tree of time

The connections are gone, but Aang, Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk, Yang Chen, Wan and all the other Avatars still live through Korra. It's reincarnation. Eric even said it in Book 1: Air "Korra IS Aang." Korra just created a new cycle.

[@Nyx_2142]

Its reincarnation but also.. not, in a way. They are the same people but also separate. We know from canon comics that dead avatars would still act independently as spirits. Kuruk did this and happened across Aang (when Aang was alive). Hell, Kuruk was wandering as a spirit in the Spirit World with the express purpose of trying to find and kill Koh, and Aang gave him information to find him. They aren't just stored memories to interact with, we see this in Yangchen changing her mind on things she did in life, something a stored memory or life wouldn't be able to do. Kyoshi says she "doesn't" see the difference, not "didn't", showing she was still an individual person considering herself in the present and not merely reflecting past thoughts that couldn't change. There is far more to those past lives than meets the eye and I really hope we'll see more on that.

@@Nalpha well I don’t think those are mutually exclusive. In contextualizing what we know, this season breaks down and complicates a lot of it. Whether that is necessary or enjoyable to watch is up to viewer interpretation but I guess lots of people think it’s a bit too far in this case. There are still questions we don’t have the answers to, like how lion turtles themselves came to possess the powers of elements and the ability to grant them to humans, or how someone like Combustion Man has the unique ability he does. Maybe you want to know, maybe you don’t, but the thing about worlds like this is that every answer comes with more questions, and that can become a web of confusion as they build on each other. ATLA chose to keep the spirits a little more mysterious, as well as the connection between avatars. I respect LOK for taking some of that mystery away but it just feels like there’s infinitely more I don’t understand about it now.

Part of the ending issue there that you mentioned is a result of Nickolodeon. Originally, Korra was supposed to be 1 season. 16 episodes. It was shortened to 12. Then a season 2 was ordered; and it was supposed to end there. Then season 3 and 4 were ordered but Nick wanted to drop the show after season 3. Which is why season 4 aired really quickly (often double episode releases b4 being released online).

[@MrEvers]

I love Korra's character development in Book 2. At the beginning of the book she was still rash, using the avatar state to win games, threatening to feed a judge to her polarbeardog and such. Now, after the fight, her first reaction isn't "woohoo, I saved the world", but "I'm so sorry I couldn't save your father".

[@lalalalisa41]

★ Froggie Animation ★ lol most people hated Korra for that, from what I remembered

[@lalalalisa41]

★ Froggie Animation ★ I get it too but at the same time, if she hadn't done that then she wouldn't have found out about everything. So it was one of those moments where Korra's hotheaded and reckless behavior was a good thing.

I think the avatar state is more like being able to use the combined knowledge of all past lives rather than their power. Korra can still go into the avatar state, she just can't rely on previous avatars anymore, be it unconsciously or by contacting their spirits. She's just like Wan now, the first avatar of a new cycle.

[@victormanyeruke9997]

[@christianmugisha7933]

The avatar state power is 100% raava has nothing to do with the past lives unless it’s not control which would be raava using the past lives as saw she was bigger than she was when she fused with wan exactly why Unavatu’s avatar state was really strong because he was a skilled water and the power cane from raava

[@EmberQuill]

I know I'm over two years late, but I always want to talk about this episode. I love the part where Tenzin tells her to forget who she thinks she is and connect with her spirit, and she responds by saying Raava is gone. Korra has known almost her entire life that she was the Avatar. And she has spent most of her life isolated, training to be the Avatar, constantly hearing people talk about how important the Avatar is. She has built her entire identity around being the Avatar, which is why she struggles so much to find her place when she comes to Republic City, where most people think they no longer need an Avatar. And after losing Raava, she feels like she has nothing left. The foundation of her entire identity is gone. But her strength of character, her willpower, and her determination is all her. Once she learns that, and with a little boost from harmonic convergence, she has the power to fight back against Unavaatu. It's a little handwavey, but I love the message it sends so much that I don't really care.

[@robertpresley1503]

I think that they decided to defer her connection to her last lives was because so many people thought that last season's ending was a cop out. Now she can't rely on her past lives to solve her problems for her.

[@Freshwater121]

I can’t wait for you guys to watch season 3, it has the best story (in my opinion) and some awesome choreography.

[@ThatBrunetteFromCali]

You gotta remember something. This whole season was about Korra learning the spiritual side of Avatar, but also discovering strength within herself. Her whole life was about her letting her bending and being the avatar define her. But once she saw what it truly meant to be the avatar by visiting Wan, Korra now knew what her purpose in this world was. Korra’s story is her learning to be more like Aang.

[@brunoss.3273]

I agree with what you said for the most part. I don't think "being more like Aang" is a good direction. All of the avatars had different personalities and life styles, her goal should never be like any of the past avatars, but be the kind of avatar that the world needs.

[@edampagbonocan5691]

Usually, people who do not hate the show will see the meanings and the morals of every story. On the other hand the ones who hate the show are very close minded, like I get the anger towards Korra being an ass sometimes but they refuse to see her development and they call her the worst avatar.

[@Ndnman720]

@@brunoss.3273 I think what "being more like Aang" means is that Korra's story is about her being more spiritual, understanding, and compassionate rather than just rushing into shit so headstrong, looking for a fight.

Good discussion with good points about the ups and downs.

[@RothRocks2000]

I think the reason that Korra is able to create the avatar of herself is because she can energybend (the ability that was given to her by Aang at the end of season 1). Energy bending is the ability to control spiritual energy, so she bended her spirit out of herself and made it big. Also, you forgot about the fact that this was during harmonic convergence, which amplified spiritual power tremendously. She probably wouldn't be able to do that at any other time.

Jinora showed Korra where Raava was inside Unalaq and Vaatu. Because she is spiritually connected she was able to see the light in the darkness. I think what many people don't seem to grasp is spirituality is the special talent of airbenders. Like some waterbenders can bloodbend and some firebenders can create lightning, some airbenders are extremely spiritually aware. Jinora is one of those airbenders.

[@ColorOfSakura]

I think the reason the creators chose to break the connection between the Avatar Line and Korra was because they wanted to use the end of Book 2 to kind of separate TLoK and ATLA from one another - too many fans continued to hold on to the old series and not let TLoK be its own thing. This was their way of saying that the fans need to let ATLA remain in the past and let Korra be her own Avatar.

[@blade3430]

That's not a good enough reason for me. Aang was his own Avatar and he went to Roku for guidance all the time. Connecting with past Avatars is a thing that ALL Avatars have done. Nothing is wrong with Korra doing the same thing. In the end, TLoK and ATLA are supposed to be seen as series together. It makes no sense to separate them and nearly everyone would have appreciated TLoK and the entire thing as a whole more if they didn't decide to destroy the connection

[@jeffreychinn609]

cbriggs120195 To be fair though, in the comics, Aang severs his connection to Roku because he feels his advice is no longer relevant to the present compared to Roku’s time

[@blade3430]

True. He did feel that Roku couldn't help him build the new world as he didn't agree with the vision for the future. Though I also disagree with his decision. It's not like Roku would constantly be breathing down his neck telling him his new world was a mistake. Why not just keep the connection, but not consult to Roku specifically on matters of merging the nations in Republic City? No doubt other Avatars of Aang's past would have and probably were very encouraging of his project.

[@lalalalisa41]

cbriggs120195 It wasn't just because they were trying to separate the two series, there was also the fact they wanted Korra to forge her own path without looking to and depending on her past lives for guidance. This would help her to grow on her own, having to figure things out for herself.

[@blade3430]

Lalisa T I don't see why that should be important though. Nothing is wrong with help she gets it all the time from Tenzen and her parents. Avatars have always and will always rely on others just like anyone else. Deciding to destroy the knowledge of her past just to make her seem more independent was plain dumb.

[@AceFlyingThunder]

Well guess I'll chime in my opinion on this season's ending, I loved it, Korra losing her connection to past avatars sucks but I think it was good for the show, to signal a new era.

Oong The Last Airbender Actually she did. Her spirit would've been destroyed by Unalaq had Korra not opened the Spirit portal.

[@matthewespinola5980]

So pumped for season 3!!

[@Zack-bt3mk]

Every episode brings us closer to the final ship of them all :)

[@jameshunt9208]

She starts a new line of Avatars, and the Avatar state is both Rava and the past avatars.

[@unversedhero6028]

Be careful you don't get paralyzed by the awesomeness of season 3 guys.

[@communitygamer117]

The Avatar State is Raava and the Avatar Spirit fighting as one. Raava is the reason why they can use all for elements that's all her. But the Avatar State is a combined effort. In the Book 2 finale Korra used her avatar spirit to fight the dark avatar state, that was without Raava. Then they went back to the spirit world and fused together. We saw for a brief moment the light avatar state. Normally the Avatar State in contained within a human body but Vatu and Raava unleashed it.

[@sylendraws1249]

Well now we know what Korra's stand is

[@Шизлманизл]

HYPED for season 3! My favourite season of Korra, hell yeah!

[@tank19768]

Korra: "Hey, how about I leave the spirit portals open so the spirits can freely roam the human world?" Tenzin: "You mean the spirits that were so incapable of coexisting with humans it forced them to live in tiny populations on the backs of lion turtles?" Korra: "Yeah." Tenzin:"Sure breh, ayyy lmao."

[@justindeliwe8065]

Tai Jarman but what about iroh i am sure that he could calm the spirits

[@justindeliwe8065]

Tai Jarman and also many spirits of the good guys who have died

[@neveajohnson1705]

Patiently waits for you guys to start season 3. I need them to endure the same stress I endured watching seasons 3&4

[@Beriorn]

9:07 Calvin shipping Bolin and Asami? That... is going to end up with some reaction alright.

[@DarthKay093]

He has no idea xD

[@cameraphone120]

The avatar state gives you the power of Rava and the knowledge and skills from past avatars.

[@irenewilliams3735]

"Have you ever read the poetry of the great airbanding Guru Lahima?" Finally, Zaheer is coming!!! Book 3 had, hands down, one of the most beautiful and badass fight scenes I have ever seen in animation. Can't wait reactions for "Long live the Queen", "The Ultimatum" and "Enter the Void"! Pretty sure they gonna love it. Final episode is great and all, but these are one of my favorites of both LoA and LoK!

[@jugemujugemu3728]

[@theimmortalsage7269]

You guys are awesome cant wait for season 3's reaction gonna be mind blowing

[@InfamousHei]

No matter what others say about the season Jeremy Zuckerman really outdone himself. I love the music in this show so much maybe even more than ATLA.

[@zairaner1489]

THe music is really godlike in this. I still think he outdoes himself again in season 3 and 4 though.

[@josearroyo8008]

This was a closing of the of the cycle but still the beginning of a new one

[@wolfXbyXnight]

My body is ready!

[@divinedragon88]

That is what she said. ^_^

[@geebeepman]

watching this with you guys made me realize i barely remember anything from book 3 besides the villains so its time to binge watch again.

[@JP-zb3yb]

The only reason I was sad from this finale is that I really wanted an Avatar with 4 elements to have a fight with a Dark Avatar with 4 elements, as an opponent that could truly match up to the Avatar. They introduced the Dark Avatar, and so they came this close to doing what I wanted, but they didn't. I just feel like that was a huge missed opportunity.

[@cliffb3731]

JP dark avatar was the result of merger of unalaq and vaatu. The reason he couldn't have all the four elements is because he did not receive it from the lion turtles as Avatar Wan did being the first Avatar. So vaatu gave a massive boost to Unalaq as he already is a waterbender and he was first of its kind.

[@JP-zb3yb]

Right. I'm saying they could've had the story play out differently so that he gains all 4 elements and battles Korra with them. I wanted to see that happen.

[@hemmojito]

Ok in a nutshell, this is what I think about the major developments. A) Vaatu will appear inside Raava again. They're basically two sides of a coin. So in one of the next 400 or so Avatars he'll split off from Raava again. B) Korra is the new Wan basically. In two senses. 1) As a reincarnation of Wan of course she can do anything Wan could. There is and always will be just one Avatar. The same person reborn over and over. So of course she can bend all 4 elements with or without Raava. The temporary element holder function Raava held for Wan was just for the training phase. After a while he was good to go. So being tied with Raava only strengthens the Avatar manifold and makes the reincarnation thing possible. 2)The cycle starts anew C) Korra uses the tree of time to connect to the cosmic energy, bends her own spirit energy to a blue giant and kicks some Vaatu ass. It's a similar thing to what Aang did to Ozai but only without Ozai. D) What Jinora did was basically an assist. As Vaatu grows with bad things/people/spirits. Raava grows with good things/people/spirits. Jinoras innocent kind-hearted gentle spirit helpled the little speck of Raava inside Vaatu to grow enough for Korra to see her and take her out of him. Also the surge of Raava inside Vaatu/Unalak (Vaatunalak?(tm)) startled him long enough for Korra to attack. oh and... E) The Dark Avatar thing is just a way for Vaatu to manifest better/more easily in the material world. As a being from the spiritworld he "needs" a being from the physical world to join him to really kick ass and multiply his power which basically means Unalak is just a vessel. Again just my opinion. Don't kill me. :D

[@In-The-Zone]

Yes thank you Eric, just because something can be or is explained doesn't suddenly mean its not stupid, contrived, cheap etc . So glad you and Shane can actually opening talk about your dislikes with story elements.

[@MARYWTHER]

Giant Blue Korra = the same "Korra" that goes into the Spirit World when she's meditating. It's her spirit, not her and Raava's together like Vaatu/Unalaq but just herself. Harmonic Convergence helped her use the fullest of her spiritual powers. Also lol imagine being a person living in Republic City, nonbender and watching all this shit happening hahaha As for Jinora... it's never really explained but it's still something that is part of her character even later on. But personally I do believe there's part of her connection to Raava that is due to her being connected to Aang (so, an Avatar, who "had" Raava inside of him).

[@kevindehulsters]

All other seasons of The Legend of Korra are great, but none come close to season 3. Get ready for one of the best seasons of tv of the last 5 or 10 years!

[@X21XXI]

To think this show is not as dark as it was originally intended to be...so amazing

[@MassiveEffect]

Bolin gets dumped. Calvin: "Good, now he can get with Asami!" Me: "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA... oh sweet summer child."

[@alliandrablack7751]

Aang was given the ability to "bend energy" from the Lion Turtle, and Korra used that ability while connected to the tree of time to connect to the cosmic energy of the universe, and channel that energy into a being capable of facing the "dark avatar" and vanquishing the dark spirit Vaatu. Despite being separated from Raava, she found power within herself to project her will through the cosmic energy of the universe.

[@xShineyxDiverx]

You guys see the evolution of Avatar Korra at the end in that speech there? God, I love this series. I honestly love it moreso than A:TLA just because of Korra herself as a character and the evolution. NOW I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK. Book 3!!!!!

[@Airsayle19]

I can't believe Book 3 is here! Can't wait to next week

[@arjanveldhorst]

Tenzin saw Aang in the spiritworld just BEFORE Korra lost connection with her former lives. she can no more connect to any of her past lives because they're just simply gone. Korra is the first avatar of the second cycle.

[@varunbhat2077]

I think Korra was able to turn into a giant spirit because of certain conditions. First, it was Harmonic Convergence. a rare event, which amplified spiritual energy greatly. Second, she was more spiritually connected than most people. Third, she meditated in the Tree of Time. So, there are very specific conditions to turn into a cosmic self. I think maybe Jinora too could have done that.

[@isaac_0.03]

"That means he can get with Asami" BAHAHAHAHA!

[@DanaBanana94]

Korra becoming a blue spirit was an event that can happen only once every 10.000 years during Harmonic Convergence. Like someone else said, it's the "Sozin's comet" for spiritual energy instead of firebending.

[@jwill6312]

I've said it a million times, but I'll say it again....its so refreshing to watch open minded people enjoy a great show for what it is instead of the typical biased and unwarranted hate LoK usually gets.

[@lalalalisa41]

★ Froggie Animation ★ "Don't deem opinions that conflict with yours as bad" Could honestly say the same thing.

[@brandonjuno]

This is rich coming from you. Aren't you the guy in every video calling strangers "retards" because they have a different opinion than you?

[@brandonjuno]

That wasn't addressed to you -- was talking to Froggie up there.

[@allthingslexi6046]

DanteRU0312 well it didn't follow the same rules constructed originally by Avatar. How can you expect us to like the sequel if it doesn't connect with the original?

[@Nemesisvsjill3]

Alexis Plummer i dunno man, it's almost like you gotta appreciate it as its own work and stop clinging to the past or something. Oh wait, that's the whole point.

[@XxRealityMarblexX]

nice reaction. I just want to mention something that many do not realize and is that the avatar is actually restarting, so korra is the first avatar of the new shekel and can no longer contact the avatar before it, and therefore the state avatar that was convoked power with the experience of their previous lives, will no longer be as powerful as it was before.

[@UpintheAir1395]

Change

[@latentalent]

UpintheAir1395 Balance

[@al-muthannaathamneh120]

The way I understood is that avatar roku was wrong in his definition of the avatar state (the combined experience of all the avatars) and what it truly was is something connected directly to Rava and the combination of the four elements in her

[@Ennby6]

Well, glad the crew mostly enjoyed this. I'd give my thoughts on season 2, but apparently dissenting opinions aren't allowed around Korra diehards. Oh well, the opening scene next episode is gonna be fun I'm sure.

[@edgarretana8377]

I think Korea was able to make that big spirit thing because of her spiritual capabilities and I feel harmonic convergence probably made doing any spiritual stuff easier so I think anyone could've done that if they were that spiritual. If iroh was alive I think he'd be able to do that during harmonic convergence

[@undertakenheart]

Book 3 hype!

[@warrenv94]

I think Rava was always picking the next avatar based on strength of spirit. Unbendable inner light? Idk. Bending was not spiritual but a granted ability. And the massive strength boost from an avatar was both power from Rava and the already learned skill of a past avatar, meaning the skill was remembered by Rava and then past to the next avatar. Thoughts?

[@gaius5901]

BOOK 3 HYPE 👏👏

[@shineinouzen7412]

I'm upset that ATLA never got Roku, Kyoshi, and Yangchen together around a coffee table with Aang to see their interactions. Man that would have been epic.

[@octavianaugustus06]

The Avatar State is considered a perfect mental link between the Avatars and Raava. When entering the state, Raava boosts all spiritual powers, bending, with her own energy. But if there is still a link to the other Avatars, then those Avatars can add their own spiritual strength and knowledge to the Avatar State, which technically made Aang the most powerful Avatar ever. But now that the link is severed, Korra only has Raava giving her a boost. The cycle will continue so there will be Avatars after Korra, but now Korra is the start of the cycle and the next Avatars can not receive any power from an Avatar before her. The cycle basically restarted.

[@Bigarus]

Octavian Augustus Something curious I noticed when rewatching ATLA; when Aang, Sokka, and Katara went to the southern air temple and saw the room filled with avatar statues it was almost full, it looked like there was room for two more statues in the cycle, Aang's and eventually Korra's would fill the room. The cycle has began again with Korra at the start.

[@octavianaugustus06]

Yep

[@thepatriottz9205]

so does that mean in book1 korra was more powerful than aang bcoz in addition she had aang spirit strength adding to hers along with the previous avatars?

[@octavianaugustus06]

Yes

[@Airgearzx]

Exactly the Avatar state stills exists and is still very strong but will be weaker due the loss of the past Avatars' knowledge.

[@justindykes9774]

Season 3 is gonna be incredible. Can’t wait to see their reactions

[@JamesWiseMagic]

Haters be like: Season 1: Finale was stupid, no lasting consequences. Season 2. Finale was stupid, they had lasting consequences. Lol yeah ok. Logic.

[@Monyato]

At 5:37 not only was it all four elements but it was in the order of the avatar cycle it was in the order of Mako (fire) then Tenzin (air) then Kya (water) and then Bolin (earth) that’s the avatar cycle that’s the order that Wan got all the elements.

[@DigitalFumbles]

Season 3 hype!~

[@4banzaihyena]

The way I connected Korra's power at the end was the fact that the Avatar/Rava spirit choses the next Avatar. So there is something that the Avatar spirit sees in the next reincarnation and that is what Korra taps into at the Tree of Time. Idk that's just how I made sense of it.

[@judemiller]

Wan turned blue, too.

[@lalalalisa41]

★ Froggie Animation ★ I think he meant when Korra fused with Raava again, she turned blue. Wan turned blue as well when he fused with Raava.

[@j.m.118]

O man,I can't wait for them to see season 3 and 4! It's going to be a full of surprises😃😄😁

[@andreaswidham3607]

I feel that Season 2 had some of the best ideas and concepts of LoK, but it wasn't able to implement them very well.

[@GaminGilmore]

I agree, I like the origin story of the avatar and how harmonic convergence is returning. But I don’t really like the design of Rava and Vaatu, there was also a lot of Deus Ex Machina with Ginora and the boss battle at the end.

[@BubblyBoar]

I absolutely can not wait to see their reaction to the revelations at the beginning of Book 3. My word!
