F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with recaptchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

(Today's post is below.)

but she still handles most situations largely by throwing the weight of her title around and being all force and no subtlety

i can't really recall a moment outside of the first episode where she really used her title as the avatar as an excuse for her actions? i mean, yeah she gets involved with the task force and her fight with tarrlok later, but really that's her doing her job. idk maybe i'm misunderstanding you.

and while by the end of the series korra's no epitome of patience, i think she demonstrated it pretty well to a certain extent. she DOES listen to mako and doesn't fight tarrlok and potentially the entire police force in public and goes to tenzin to try to get her friends released the legal way before confronting tarrlok. even then, when she goes to him she just goes to TALK. tarrlok is the one who attacks her, after that she's fighting to survive. when she's kidnapped she sits and focuses on her meditation and gets results. when she gets out and is faced with amon, she turns and leaves because she knows she's in no position to fight. when tenzin tells her to go into hiding, she listens and waits until the united forces shows up (and loses horribly) before deciding to go confront amon. she decides to try to reveal amon as a sham instead of just fighting him, which compared to korra in the first episode is a HUGE improvement. she could have still chosen to fight him with the knowledge of who he was, but she chose not to. she was also totally willing to leave after amon took off his mask, but only stayed when it turned out he had captured the airbenders.

so, yeah, korra definitely demonstrated patience and relied less and less on just punching things for answers as the show went on.

oh, she definitely improved over the course of things on that front, sure

i just think she's still got a long way to go

oh i agree, but i think bryke kind of intended for it to end on a note indicating that this was just a snippet into korra's life and she still has a lot more ahead of her. but that's just how i interpreted the final scene with tenzin myself.
