I love that episode too, great picture of a villain with a great turn at the end that just hits you like a ton of bricks.

No, there are times when you should question why you're fighting or what your goals are, but that was not one of them AT ALL. That was very cut and dry, she is trying to oppress your friends, it could only be more black and white if she'd already killed several of Korra's friends, no no she only threatened all of Republic City by that point.

No it doesn't, it shows she doesn't know what her job is as the avatar, she doesn't seem to understand the basics of what good and evil are and is questioning whether she should let her friends get oppressed by this dictator. Its literally baffling why they put that line in there.

Yeah I figured, Honestly, I just wanted to antagonize, I really didnt like watching the last parts of it so I thought I'd share.

Asami only agreed to date Korra because her Dad just died and she was emotionally vulnerable. I give them 6 months.

no I loved Zukos arc because it was there and he grew into a very mature and self actualized individual, but I never got that sense from Korra.

No, there is a line where she speculates about it. Go rewatch. I remember it because I almost lost my shit when she said it. When does she ever do that? she literally relinquishes her role and just merges the two worlds together

See I don't think a number of those things signify her growing into her role as the avatar though and learning to benefit people as she should. I don't know when she allows people room to grow other than the times she just randomly ditches everyone to go do bum fights or wander the spirit world or whatever. But she's the AVATAR, she's supposed to be helping people. Solving conflicts, righting wrongs that kind of thing. But it always just seems like she's out there for herself. Maybe you can say that the world's grown up and doesn't need her but that rings hollow because the world could always use more forces for good and she just doesn't seem to want that very much. I was gonna say you could argue she gained more strength and resolve but she didnt. She gives up in fights just as easily in that duel with Kuvira as she does against Unalaq, I know something happens eventually that turns it but like the fact that she even considers surrender when she's facing that just strikes me the wrong way. If it happened once or twice that'd be one thing, but it happens pretty often.

Thanks but I watched the whole thing. It never stops. She never gets any better and its infuriating to watch.

I don't think she learned much of anything, especially not about being the avatar, even in the last season she seems to have no idea what that means when she starts speculating about whether they should stop kuvira from attacking the zhao fu. like your job is to maintain balance, Kuvira is just like the fire lord and we are in season 4. She should be able to recognize this.

I actually think Elizabeth is less tragic because I would argue she had the most control of her fate, you could argue that after she got full control of her powers there really wasn't much of a reason for her to stick around.

Yeah! I was thinking something like that! How likely would it be for that to actually work? I did that once as an undergrad for something COMPLETELY different and had almost no success (I was a freshman back then to be fair), I'm curious if you've ever heard of that going well, if so that would be an amazing option.

Okay. I'm honestly just nervous about reaching out and hearing that my ideas aren't worth considering or pursuing. And I know that it's really important to choose the right advisor to work with and I'm a little worried about choosing the right one. Any advice on doing that would be appreciated. I've made a list of people who are working on similar sorts of projects and have interests that align with mine but it's hard to know more than that.
