I didn't particularly like that ending, but I'll get over it. Although...I wonder how Mako feels? His ex-girlfriend left him and got hooked up with...his other ex-girlfriend. And I don't know if they'd invite him to...join them. :/
The thing that I really want to remember about Korra, above all else, is the way the last season went for Korra herself, as an individual.
The episode in which she was forced to stay at home while trying to get that poison out of her completely was touching to me because I could relate to that. People all going about their lives while you yourself are stuck somewhere, wasting away and no longer being the useful person you once were. That was how my recent depression was like.
And when Korra spoke to Tenzin about how at first she didn't understand why the poison had kept her down, and then she eventually realized that it had been done to make her stronger...THAT is what I want to take with me through life, not Korrasami.
Another intriguing thing is the way in which the show addressed evil. I thought it was interesting to see how ultimately, the message in that regard was that Korra would always have to fight something or someone. There would be no rest for her, would there? She'll have to go throughout her life fighting evil, if the series did continue as this petition wants it to (on Netflix, so they could keep Korra and Asami together).
That really contrasts with the Christian idea of good eventually overpowering evil. One day Jesus will return at it will all be gone, whereas in the Avatar universe evil is always around, fighting against good. What's the point of keeping evil down if you know that it will never go away completely?
It's a bit bittersweet, knowing that Korra will be forever fighting evil as long as she lives. And after her, there will supposedly be no more avatars. Then what?
Overall, though, it's sad that it has to end. I can only hope to ever even conceive of something as brilliant as the Avatar universe, and I probably never will. It would be nice if they could make another series, though, maybe with a third Avatar from the Earth Kingdom. But I doubt that that will happen.
