Hey, guys. Since this was released, there's been some confusion over the title. I named it 'The Legend of Korra' because that final scene encapsulates what in my opinion the series is really about -- finding yourself.
Crikey, the man himself! Just want to say your work on both Avatar series is truly wonderful. Thank you for being an integral part of something I love so much.
Jeremy Zuckerman Thanks for the work you and everyone else did on making this franchise come to life. It was a defining part of my childhood, and will continue to remain one of my favorite franchises. I'll miss seeing new episodes, as well as your awesome soundtrack. But all good things must come to an end, and even though it's over, I can always look back on it and smile, and one day show it to my own kids. And this was a beautiful and fitting song to close out the franchise.
"If you look for the light, you can often find it. But if you look for the dark, that is all you will ever see." ~Uncle Iroh This show has inspired me in many ways and I can't thank Bryan and Michael enough for creating this show that became a big part of my childhood, and my adulthood.
Yeah so deep. Thats sarcasm. It panders off his dialogue with Aang in Book 2 where aang is conflicted(something characters do when they let their flaws contradict objective goals) about choosing love over power
Crossfurr Darius Coatl Pretty much. I’m surprised that people don’t realize that Iroh basically told Aang and Korra the same thing, but in a different way given their current circumstances.
"Excuse me Tenzin, Varrick is looking for you. Something about wanting to borrow a glider suit to fly off the tower?" And at that moment, the Korrasami fandom exploded.
k onan Maybe because it's much different to what we're used to seeing in animated shows? And because Korra has been a vastly different show than Last Airbender, would make sense to go the extra mile.
Tenzin's "oh noes!" expression as he ran off was almost comically exagerrated, and Asami's downcast eyes and awkward delivery of her lie makes me think that Tenzin knew that he was being 'gotten rid of", but he understood at least some of what was going on and that Asami wanted some time alone with Korra.
Moreover, President Raiko wants to expand the city, rather than rebuild that area! So, the region near the portal can be preserved for tourists and spirits and without people actually living there, no one will be affected! :D
Agure Born and raised in NYC. Also, lived in Philly for college. And now I live in another city, right next to City Hall. And I've also lived with a big a** light outside of my window. It was never _not_ annoying (and yes, I had curtains). Not being able to keep the curtains cracked at night is inconvenient and it also limits the type of curtains you can use. And more importantly... it was just a joke. But thanks for the snark lol.
Nocktuk Daze I can see what you mean but who knows what new ideas they can come up with in those brilliant minds of theirs ;D..I mean after they announced LOK, I was literally thinking "what else could you do that hasn't already been done in ATLA?".....maybe they'll be inspired again :)
Lalisa T yea, they should work on other projects, then comeback to Avatar after a few years. *or* they could look at what ideas KorraNation has, and use those. I found a great idea for a sequel. It looked great, and if Bryke uses this idea, I'll be so happy.
this summer i watched avatar the last airbender for the first time and completely fell in love. i was so sad it was over but then started watching korra and realized it wasn't for the time being.. i fell in love once again and cried so much. especially when it was over. this song literally makes me bawl my eyes out. i miss it already. it was my happy place and helped me everyday when i was feeling depressed and suicidal.
Tenzin: That doesn't seem like a good idea! The Korra: You want to sit with me for a minute? I'm not ready to get back to the party just yet. [Asami and Korra sit on the steps, looking out at Republic City] Korra: I don't think I ever really apologized. Asami: For what? Korra: For being gone all that time. For not coming back sooner. Asami: You don't have to apologize for anything. I'm just so happy you're here now. I don't think I could've handled losing you and my father in the same day. Korra: I am so sorry about what happened. [She leans in and hugs Asami] Asami: Thank you. I'm just glad I was able to forgive him. Korra: So, what now? Back to the dance floor? Asami: I'm kind of all danced out. Honestly, with everything that's happened the past few months, I could use a vacation. Korra: Let's do it! Let's go on a vacation, just the two of us. Anywhere you want. Asami: Really? Ok ... I've always wanted to see what the Spirit World is like. Korra: Sounds perfect.
Oh my gosh. The last few beats, reminiscent of the first Avatar series, its like a finality, a conclusion. Thank you to the producers for making such a beautiful story for us all to journey through.
Jono the savage Thats specifically a peice of "The Avatar's Love" which is Aang and Katara's theme and notably plays in its full form only once at the end of ATLA for the balcony scene.
@@mannymoogolf Avatar's Love is actually a more emotional, slightly longer version of "Safe Return" which is used all over Avatar, mostly at the end of many episodes in Seasons 1 and 2... That's why I think it fits so perfectly with the end scenes for both series. We as the viewer form a connection with the music we hear - for example, Iroh's tsungi horn, which plays almost any time Iroh is giving wisdom, first to Zuko, and later to Aang and Korra. Safe Return is a cue that most ATLA fans know by heart, and we unconsciously(or consciously) know whenever it plays that everyone is safe, and we mentally prepare for the episode to end. So when Avatar's Love starts playing when Katara goes onto the balcony to meet Aang, before they even kiss, we already know it's the final moments of the series - the war is over, and everybody is safe, and now Aang and Katara finally have a moment of peace to express their feelings. The same is true for Legend of Korra - although, admittedly, the effect is more nostalgic than anything to do with the scene itself... It plays twice during Korra and Asami's last scene, except now, thanks to ATLA, the theme has a third meaning - love. The series is wrapping up, Korra is safe, and Korra and Asami are about to share a tender moment of romance in the calm.
the genius of Jeremy Zuckerman: the show started with just using the Ehru, the violin-esque sound. as she came closer and closer to truly becoming the avatar, and connecting with the other avatars, the kalimba, thumb piano sound from ATLA, slowly starts playing faintly. in this song, the final scene, both are blended to create an amazing beautiful score to show that korra has finally become the avatar.
princessthyemis SOME holes? It was something greater than a a few holes. A black hole maybe? But the music was so beautiful it brought me to TEARS I am grateful for that
Shoutout to the people who can enjoy both series without trying to say which Avatar is better than the other. Both shows were beautiful and complimented each other nicely.
This really did touch me (screw the haters) on an emotional level. seeing that the A;TLA was heart-warming, the music in LOK made the ending so perfect to me. I've re-watched this ending so many times, and the music gets me almost to tears, but this time it did. as I'm typing the out, my eyes are watering, and it not because it ended, it because of US, the fans. we made this show what it was, the emotional, building of characters, and seriousness when it was the point, of an episode and/or season (book 3). this ending song also made me remember the great thing a show like this can create, Memories that the show can give, memories that make you smile,laugh,get mad over, and cry over. the ones that create those memories are people like myself have remembered every episode from LOKB1, when everything is new, and we starting to hate the new avatar, but quickly change to liking her, because she was Different, and more like kids today. so most of us quickly jumped on board with our new character. remember those moments the show creates is amazing, being able to remember all the happy, or sad moments in the Whole avatar (T;TLA to LOK) series had created, sure will miss it, and demand more, but it we demand more, we destroy what the last series gave us, Closure. Closure gave us all we needed, sure we want a new avatar, but those memories that it gives us, need to be kept, and not forgotten when a new series comes along.
this is so unique. Usually the end of an adventure has an epic atmospehere and epic music. But this ending felt a bit sad and a feeling of something unfinished yet beautiful, leaving a hole of longing
You get the feeling of longing because you know that you'll never get enough. At some point, it has to end, and this was a good ending - but no ending can ever make one accept that the series is... ... finished. Maybe, at some point, there will be a continuation - but even if there is, it won't be enough. Avatar's too good for us to ever get enough of it.
I just finished this show and couldn't put my finger on the range of emotions i was feeling. These are the words. I couldn't have put it better myself.
I will always hold this show near and dear to my heart. Definitely one of my top favorite shows of all time, knocking ATLA and others down to 2nd and 3rd. It's really sad to know that the Avatar universe stops with Korra and it has ended. Thank you Bryke, it has been an incredible 10 year journey starting with ATLA at 6 all the way to finishing with Korra at 16. Taking me through childhood and nearing the end of my high school and teenage years, I feel like I have really grown up with Aang and Korra. And every other character in between. I literally cry every time I re-watch the last episode. It was a refreshing change to see a same sex couple displayed in the media... Which is why I feel Legend of Korra is one of the greatest and most inspiring tv shows of our time... Thank you, Bryke.
Barring your opinion of the nature of the ending involving romance... Korra was great, but there were a lot of elements that were missing from korra as to ATLA. Not necessarily bad, but the two shows are... Well... They're so different it's hard to say "I like this one better". At least for me it is. Though if I had to pick one it would be ATLA... Idk what they did but it seems like the character development is deeper.
jazminestryder i agree. i feel that Legend of Korra had a much darker... 'tone' to the show, compared to ATLA. I actually fell in love with the characters of ATLA more than LoK. But it definitely is harder to say which is better... With LoK, they had a new villain each book that tried to push their own ideology much too far, some of these dealt with some real life stuff too im sure.
Just a quick reminder that Avatar started with a girl calling out her brother for his sexism and that Korra ended with two women falling in love Thank you, Mike and Bryan for such an incredible journey:)
I did not realize this season was the last one until I saw the "the end " at the very end of the show I was shocked and deeply emotionally bitter sweet about it
kirbywinter You can hear the kalimba at that time, but that's not the "Avatar's Love" motif. Twili Vaati was right, the motif happens in the last bar of the score.
at 2:43 - a bit of avatar’s love theme is playing which played whenever there was a soft moment between aang and katara, and the fact they played it at the end where korra and asami hold hands makes me cry every time :’))))) the start of their romantic relationship MY HEARTT
I can´t believe this amazing show is over. The amount of feelings i got from it is indescribable. I remember watching ATLA as a kid and absolutely loving it. This gave me so many memories of that time. In my opinion a good show is a show that leaves you with memories. LOK has given me memories that I will never forget. Memories that make me laugh and smile. This show has affected all of my feelings, both good and bad ones. This show is not only about war between nations, it´s about love,friendship,hope,sacrifices,success, motivation and accepting yourself as who you are.
Me when first saw Korrasami:".....well that looked gay." After some thought: "naw, it's just sistersly love." Korrasami confirmed: "nuuuuu Korra can't be GAY!! WHY!? 2 hours later: "meh, who cares?" I'm very complicated... XD
Nocktuk Daze *_Bisexual_* though, not gay, since neither of them had any qualms about dating Mako before. It seems that both Korra and Asami had initially thought of themselves as _straight_ in Books 1 and 2 (when they were still teenagers with changing hormones), but first began having seconds thoughts by Book 3, since Kora and Asami were gradually developing romantic feelings for each other, even if they weren't ready to admit them, even to themselves.... However, by the time of their reunion in Book 4, Korra and Asami were already pretty much full-fledged adults, with Korra being 21, and Asami 22 years old. By this point in time, both of them were considerably more mature than before, and would have been much more sure about their respective sexual preferences. They seemed to have fully come to terms with their own bisexuality, and their romantic feelings would become somewhat more obvious (with Korra trusting Asami more than Mako or Bolin; Korra actually _blushing_ after Asami complimented her hair; and Korra calling Asami "sweet" for bringing her a cup of tea). However, due to the threat of Kuvira's Earth Empire, the atmosphere never would have felt right for them to admit their feelings to each other right then and there. Hence, they would only get to do so at the very end - silently acknowledging their mutual feelings through one tender glance, without uttering a single word... Hence, with all of that in mind, it would seem logical to me that Korra and Asami are bisexual. I think that by doing so, the series avoided the error of assuming sexual orientation, as many other TV series make it seem that there is such a strict divide between "gay" and "straight." Being bisexual myself, I will admit that making Korrasami happen was the best Christmas present I could have hoped for... I simply cannot say enough good things about that final scene! :))))
Samuel Savary Seriously... Why can't you people simply show some tolerance, and judge people based on their morality, traits, and behavior, instead of only their sexual orientation?! Must you really spew all that narrow-minded poison? :(((
Samuel Savary Well, at the end of the day, you're only making yourself sound ignorant, hate-ridden, and rather arrogant as well, I might add! :((( Also, I''m bisexual, not gay. But I get the feeling that it wouldn't change your attitude, since you appear to hate all non-heterosexuals...
This show will forever have a very special place in my heart. Korra's journey and growth is probably one of the reasons why I'm still alive today. For a long time, I was severely depressed, not knowing what's wrong with me and why I couldn't just be happy and enjoy life. I hated myself and was very angry, without knowing why or how to get rid of it. Korra's hot-headedness early on and then seeing her being broken & almost destroyed by depression.. but then finding herself, her place in the world and gaining new strength, all helped me so much. I learned that I'm trans, which made my anger disappear, after carrying it around for so many years. I became a better, more compassionate & confident person and am happier than I've ever been. I wish I could give a hug to every single person who worked on The Legend of Korra. Thank you ❤
Man the massive clump in my stomach when this song starts playing. and the feeling that i wont have enough money to buy the comic books are killing me..
This sums up Legend of Korra for me. When the song first starts I already get teary eyed by remembering how much the show changed me and showed me how to be brave like Korra, to push through no matter the darkness. And I still am obsessed with it as much as I was when it was airing. When season 4 was airing I was sort of in a dark place too and felt like I was going through it with Korra. This song is so peaceful but so passionate!
Wow looking at this comment years ago. I wasn’t “sort of” in a dark place. I was completely consumed in it. I couldn’t even admit it then. And it takes time to finally accept it, like it did for Korra.
NEVER SMOKE WEED AND LISTEN TO THIS MUSIC AT THE SAME TIME. I AM CRYING SO MUCH AND I CAN NOT STOP. I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH. I WILL NEVER STOP HAVING AVATAR IN MY HEART,
Yeah man I know the feeling. I watched the finale SUPER baked and I was just bawling my eyes out. Man my reaction when Korra & Asami held hands... let's just say I wish I got it on film lol.
Mitch T I WOULD HAVE CHOKED TO DEATH IF I WAS SMOKING AND WATCHING THE FINALE FOR THE FIRST TIME. THIS SONG WILL ALWAYS REMIND OF THE WHOLE SERIES, JUST LIKE THE "BUILDING MODE" SONG FROM THE SIMS SOUNDTRACK REMINDS ME OF MY CHILDHOOD. I CAN NOT WAIT TO BE OLD, 60 AND LISTEN TO THAT SONG ONCE AGAIN AND REMEMBER HOW GOOD KORRA WAS AND HOW MUCH I WAS BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO WATCH THIS LIFECHANGING CARTOON.
it's funny, it's almost like they were teasing us this amazing piece of composition throughout the whole show with the credits, and our reward was the full composition in the finale and it is god damn beautiful.
Starting at. 0:49, just that music that is so unique to the Avatar universe really tugs at the emotions. It makes me so sad to see the creators leave this universe, I hope they return to it in a few years.
This by far is the best show... I have ever watched. I couldn't bring myself to watch the finale but when i did, I have to be honest i cried. To see such an amazing show end in such an amazing way. I really couldn't help but appreciate the time and effort put into it. I have to thank Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino for not only bringing me happiness, but everyone who watched this amazing work of art.
TotalMadnessMan the music always gets to me, no matter what...gotta give props to Jeremy Zuckerman and the Track Team for creating beautiful and sentimental music ^__^
I would be so mad if they're going to stick to their usual "we're not going to release this soundtrack" mentality. I'm still waiting for Book 2 and 3. It's not the creator's fault though, Nick holds the rights to it. -_-
Indeed. Imagine: rather than the fans going to the creator's website or something like youtube to listen to it for free, they might have given money to Nick instead for a proper soundtrack. We're basically offering to throw them money and they still don't want any of it.
3 years exactly after the show ended and I still get chills. This was a great show, characters (Korra especially) and all, ESPECIALLY music. Honestly though, whenever I hear this music it reminds me of Korra and Aang's journey. Zukerman was a f*cking genius but he needs to stop toying with my emotions like that, especially with the ending notes that hint back to Avatar's Love in ATLA
It's been 8 months. I still cry when I hear this. This theme just puts me in a blissful sense of peace. Kudos to Jeremy Zuckerman for his musical talent.
Me being into both sexes, this final scene in The Legend of Korra has really made me happy and confident with who I am. I truly appreciate the courage of the creators. Beautiful song, amazing show!
😔Literally this piece of instrumental song makes me feel very sad and depressed about the fact that this world of Avatar already ended, but at the same time feel proud and happy the story was shared with me among other great fans around the world.This series was a very well developed by the creators. Even though this world is not a real life kind of thing, it will ever and always be in our hearts❤️ and minds 😔👆🏻that will keep us move forward .I just really hope that I one day at least have a dream in this world where I could experience it 😞😞
You know what guys. When I was a kid I use to try bending even if I look like a crazy kid. Every year I watched ATLA and LOK since I was a kid. Every last episode of the last season I felt the same feeling like lost and sadness. Now that its 2018 and Im also 19 the feelings are always the same. I always hope that there’s a new avatar after korra but i should accept the truth that there’s no continue. I always felt that bending is true but this TV series is only fictional. But this fictional TV series will always leave a scar on my heart💔
When I heard 0:00-0:20 it finally hit me that the series was over. The show I've grew up watching was drawing to a close right before my eyes. The music there sounds so peaceful, tranquil and sweet, but also depressing and sad. The music here reminds of the music in the Legend of Zelda series which also made me happy. I'm so sad that Avatar is over :( .
I never watched Last Airbender and Legend of Korra until about a month ago. Just saw this finale and it was one of those most perfect series ever. THIS is what I want from Samurai Jack. It;s been over 10 years since the Finale and It breaks my heart to know that the show never ended properly. Samurai Jack is on the same level as Airbender and Legend of Korra, and to see it finish in a proper way would be such an amazing experience. TO see Jack back home, would be fantastic.
+Muhammad Faateh Malik I'd have been happy to see Lin dance....just once. Still it's one of those things that can't be helped. Remember, Dr. Sam Beckett never came home either.....
travis bedonie She's always gonna be my baby. It's a dad thing. And believe it or not.... Kai isn't that bad a kid. Could've been Otaku... The horror...
This music is freaking amazing. Gets me all in the feels every time. I can't believe it's been over 2 years since Korra ended. Her time with us was short, but I loved every minute of it, and her legend will live on. Korra is my favorite Avatar.
there was no movie. it was an illusion they have yet to make an avatar movie. there is no way that they could have made such a horrible movie and thus the only other explanation is a hallucination
preach! I just hope that one day someone with an actual brain in their skull ad who actually knows and cares about the show will come along and make an avatar movie so amazingly perfect that it will completely wipe all memory of shamalamadingdong's monstrosity from the fans minds and we'll have a movie we actually deserve. and I don't think that's too much to ask because at this point, anything is better than the hellspawn that we were given.
Why compress an entire season into a single two hour film, though? We already have so much well made content it would be redundant to make another original based off what we have unless it were a continuation of what's been made.
I think for some reason a lot of people who shipped Korrasami don't quite realize how rare and precious that moment was for so many people. Same sex relationships just don't happen that way in the media. They're usually a joke, meant to titillate, or an act of spiteful bite the hand humor at best. But here we are, with Korra the main character, the hero of the whole story, having a relationship with another woman. Not a one-off side character or a cameo, but the hero! Yes, shipping is fun sometimes, but you've got to take a step back and understand how truly meaningful this is.
The legend will never end. The legend will live on forever until this planet ends. The legend will always continue because of us fans. The legend will live in our hearts. The legend will always live. The legend will never end.
"Best score on TV: Legend of Korra. Clever stylistic mash-ups, great orchestration & luscious melodies. The sound is fantastic too. So artfully done and helps create such a believable world. Congrats Jeremy Zuckerman & Ben Wynn!" - Bear McCreary, composer (Battlestar Galactica, The Walking Dead)
Still missing Korra :( Yes, even after what now? Oh yeah, a year and a half (almost - just one more month), I still can't accept that my most favorite series of all time has ended. I've started watching countless series and always think I've moved on. I think that the truth is I will never truly move on. Whenever I see a Korra or ATLA video I freeze and my heart aches. I always knew that what I felt during this series wasn't normal. But now I know, this is more than just a series - it's a whole world that was shown to us, and I read the comics way too quickly to truly appreciate them like a show. But this world is a world that I would go to, given the choice, in a heartbeat. I would just drop everything I have and go. I can't accept that it's over. I've tried. But like I said, this is different. I don't know what makes this show so special but it just is. Come back, Korra :( Somehow, anyhow, just do it. Please. :'(
+Fofo -korrasami I think that one way or another, I'll keep coming back to to this show. It's such a shame that it's over; yet I'm surprised at how much I'm still in love with this show
+Tono555 I just never get board of it even if I watch it a thousand times i will never get bored ,I know ur feeling about the show I just don't know how to explain it ,to much feelings I miss korra:'(
Omg this score is amazing and touches my emotional side so deeply! Ever since twilight's score I didn't think I'd find anything better but this is certainly exceptional
Ilove Aang and Korra equally. Both shows are unique and different. In legend of Korra the history and added information of the avatar universe is my personal favorite. And also Korra's character development. I love the fact they showed her flaws and weakness. And how extremely human she is. I can relate to her in so many ways. She's hot-headed and what you see is what you get type. I dig it.
The final season of this show was so encouraging and helpful. It aired during a time I was depressed. I only got back into Korra around the summer of the next year. If I watched it during I was depressed, the messages could've helped me a lot, but I wasn't into the show then. I wasted my time watching pointless stuff like My Little Pony ;_;
Completed the show for the third time... I want more episodes to continue this amazing show. This show has been my life and I want it to see it continue. It makes me sad the fact of how there’s only 52 episodes.
This show brought so much happiness, and raw emotions into my life it helped me understand soo much about life and what it brings to you.. it helped me in the my darkest of times, it thought so many lessons. when it finished it broke my heart. and now every time i hear its music i remember of what was, of how beautiful it was in every way and every aspect. I miss it so much but I dont want to keep watching it over and over again so it doesn't take any of that feelings i did when i first watched it. as nothing is as good as it when you first watched it or try it.
Not necessarily. Avatar: The Last Airbender was actually better to me when I went back & watched it than it was the first time (though, to be fair, I don't know if I saw every episode the first time)
I never got to watch it, so now I am. I loved avatar when I was little and now I can see all the great lessons hidden in it.... I recently finished season 2 of korra and I cried so much... :')
