    Legend of Korra: A Fantastic Finale With a Perfect Ending

    korrasami seems a little forced, but it was ok. I hope this is not the end of avatar or even korra for that matter. i think there should be more emphasis on spirits in future episodes. more about what makes them tick and what kind of society they have

    Escapist News Now: Destiny Costs $500 Million
