Might steal this for a philosophy assignment if you don't mind lol.
Much like with the previous three seasons, the ending of the last season isn’t a proper ending to anything except the specific conflict introduced and resolved in the last season. The crucial difference, however, is the attitude of Korra herself. She has become fully aware of her situation - of the impermanence of her efforts and achievements - and is finally at peace with it. Where previously she was mentally caged by her obsession with the - in her mind - god-given purpose of "being the Avatar," she is now intent on living life authentically as a person, free of pretense and haughty delusion. New crises will inevitably arise during and after her lifetime, but that no longer prevents her from forging for herself a destiny that is short-lived but nonetheless personally meaningful to her as a human being. Eternity may ridicule her actions, but Korra lives on, content.
perfect representation of her character development and why I love korra despite my feelings towards the show. It also irritates me that ppl don't realize it but if it was a male character, they would be orgasming over how good the character is.
