There are so many things I like about these few seconds of the conclusion of the finale. First, Korra is just so beat down and at the mention of the RL, you know sheās going to think back about all the terrible things that happened and she obviously has nightmares judging from the bags under her eyes. And when the MOST OBNOXIOUS PRESIDENT FUCKYOUIHATEYOU RAIKO is all, āgood job gold star welcome back after i BANISHED you and i donāt even apologizeā, I just want to cut him. And then Korra looks down and you know she doesnāt want to respond. She doesnāt want the praise or pity. That hurts to see. Seriously. And then Asami looks down at her and I am just so happy that their friendship has gotten so strong after these past three seasons. You can tell that Asami is her best friend in ways that Mako and Bolin could never be. And she wants to be there for her and not let anyone hurt her. IT HURTS. She wants to be able to make her feel better and bring her out of this awful situation sheās in.
And then you have Ikki who has been immature and selfish in the past, but sheās grown so much even though we havenāt seen her development that much. I feel like children have a certain emotional connection to people in the sense that they can sense when someone needs a little boost and Ikki just wants to do whatever to help Korra happy and make things easier for her.
AND THEN MEELO. He just really makes me happy that heās so eager to be with Korra. Obviously, each of the airbending babies have different connections with her, but Meeloās moment with Korra was so sweet. I know a lot of people have commented on the way that Korra lights up and smiles for him and I feel like itās genuine of her. Meeloās the type of boy who will make you smile no matter if itās intentional or not. Korra needs that little bit of sunshine and Iām so so extremely happy that Bryke included this.
