***major spoilers for finale***
the thief and the airbender
the wedding
Jinora felt Korra latch onto her arm, the giddy Avatar dragging her over to where a cluster of girls were forming, all hoping to catch Zhu Li's bouquet. "C'mom," Korra beamed, shoving Jinora into the front. The airbender staggered slightly and straightened up, raising her hands the bouquet was thrown out of the happy bride's hands, arced over and...
Landed in Jinora's arms.
The rest of the girls cheered and then someone - Korra again, or maybe Bolin - forced Kai into the crowd. He bumped into her, blushing furiously but also looking very pleased with himself. He glanced down at the bouquet and then back up at her, raising an eyebrow.
Jinora smiled widely at him, nodding, and pecked him quickly on the lips. After all, she couldn't say she had never entertained the thought of her and Kai being married someday, and it looked like he had too.
When the music started, Jinora was pulled yet again onto the dance floor, this time by her boyfriend. Kai looped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him. As it was a slow song, Jinora rested her head on his shoulder, burying his face into his neck. "I love you," she murmured against his skin. He tightened his grip.
"I love you too," he breathed in her ear.
And in another four years, they was a day like this - only Zhu Li and Varrick weren't the bride and groom.
***korra review under the cut***
OH. MY. GOD.
I loved the finale. I thought it was really well down - action scenes were great, there was great emotional content too. I'm half-Makorra, half-Korrasami but honestly I love that they left Makorra on good terms. They may have said "I'll always love you," but that is different than always being in-love with someone. Not to mention Korrasami not only works, it's also great representation. So I'm very very happy.
I'm really satisfied with Bopal and Zhurrick too - the latter mostly for the aforementioned Kainora headcanons. As much as I would've liked to have seen some Kainora, I'm fine with what we got. It's enough for me, and it's enough for me to go on with "To Fall" so I'm happy. My bbys are safe in a good relationship and that's all I really wanted. If LOK gets comics like Avatar, maybe some kainora then?
The music was beautiful too. Congrats to Jeremy Zuckerman on a breathtaking score.
What did you guys think? Leave your thoughts below, I'd love to hear them.
And just... thanks for the ride guys, it's been a blast.
