One of Alejandro’s biggest character traits is his love for Rubí. Even after everything she did, all the pain she caused, and all the horrible choices she made, a part of him still loved her. But as the story went on, that love slowly turned into disappointment and even disgust. He saw the damage Rubí caused and how many lives were destroyed because of her actions. That is why I have a hard time believing the final scene actually happened. I understand why Alejandro would be shocked seeing Fernanda, someone who looks almost identical to Rubí, especially because the last time he saw Rubí she was completely broken, covered in scars, and missing a leg. Anyone would be stunned by that.

However, I just cannot see Alejandro betraying Maribel after everything he went through. The Alejandro we see later in the story is completely different. He has grown, found peace, built a family, and is genuinely happy with his life. He is not the same man who was consumed by his love for Rubí.

I also have a hard time believing Cristina and Marco would allow Fernanda to become like Rubí. They both knew exactly how destructive Rubí was and what her actions caused. They would not want Fernanda repeating the same mistakes. The biggest thing for me is Alejandro’s relationship with his son. I cannot imagine him fighting with his own child the way Rubí wanted Fernanda to make him do. Alejandro witnessed what Rubí’s obsession caused. He saw Rubí mom die, Sonia die, Héctor’s downfall/death, and how many people Rubí hurt or drove to their breaking point. After 18 years of being happily married and raising his son, I do not believe he would let himself fall back into that same cycle.

I believe Alejandro and Maribel’s happiness was the true ending. Everything after that feels like Rubí refusing to accept that she had finally lost. What do you all think? Do you think the Fernanda scene actually happened, or was it meant to show that Rubí was still trapped in her own fantasies?

This is my first time really watching The Legend of Korra since I was a kid, and honestly I’m kind of frustrated that nostalgia and other people’s opinions stopped me from appreciating it earlier. The show definitely has flaws, but it’s actually really good. Season 1 is honestly up there with some of the best seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender for me.

I’m at the Season 3 finale right now, and overall it’s been great. One thing that stands out is the villains. I think Korra has better villains overall. Amon and the Red Lotus are amazing. Unalaq in Season 2 is probably the weakest so far, and I do have a personal dislike because of what he did to the Avatar cycle, but he’s not bad. I also like how each villain actually pushes Korra and helps build her character. Season 2 also did a really good job developing Korra’s parents and the Water Tribe conflict.

Korra and Aang are really interesting to compare because they’re similar but also very different. Aang is way more spiritual and relies on past Avatars, while Korra is much stronger physically. If we’re just talking bending, I think Korra takes three out of four elements, with Aang clearly being the better airbender. Korra has insane firebending, elite water and earth, and even metalbending. To be fair, I’m comparing them based on how they are in their own shows, meaning 12 year old Aang vs 16 to 17 year old Korra, not their adult versions.

I also don’t get the criticism that Korra’s Team Avatar has no personality. Mako, Bolin, and Asami are all solid characters. The bigger thing people overlook is that Aang’s team had way more time to develop, while Korra’s story is much more focused on her specifically. That’s not a bad thing, it just means the team naturally gets less focus. And on top of that, Aang’s team is stacked with prodigies so it’s just a tough comparison in general.

My biggest issue with Korra is the romance. That’s easily the weakest part of the show. I liked Mako and Asami early on, but the love triangle stuff got messy. Mako and Korra always felt more like a fling than something serious, and I didn’t like how both of them hurt Asami. Even if it’s realistic since they’re teenagers, it was still frustrating to watch.

As for Korra and Asami, I don’t think it came out of nowhere, but I’m not fully sold on it either. In Season 3 you can tell the writers start pushing them closer, but it happens pretty fast. Right now, what I mostly get from them is more of a really close friend or almost sister type of vibe rather than something romantic.

At the same time, it’s obvious Nickelodeon held them back. It’s kind of wild the show can include really brutal moments but not fully explore a same sex relationship. Like with Lin and Suyin taking down the combustion bender, even though it’s off screen, it’s still one of the most brutal implied deaths in the series. So it’s weird where the line was drawn.

Overall I think Korra is way better than people give it credit for. A lot of the hate just feels like people wanted her to be Aang, when the whole point is that she’s different. It’s her story, not Aang Part 2.

For me, the romance is still the weakest part, and right now I see Korra and Asami more as really close friends with a sister type dynamic than a couple. Maybe that changes in Season 4, but at this point I’m just not fully convinced.

I ordered the new Ben 10 comic from Dynamite Comics back in March, and it still says “waiting for inventory.” This is my first time buying from them, so I’m not sure if that’s normal. What’s confusing is that I just got an email from Dynamic Forces saying they shipped a package and that I should expect it in 2–6 days. The email came from customerservice@dynamicforces.com. Are Dynamite and Dynamic Forces connected? And is it normal for an order to be stuck on “waiting for inventory” this long but still get a shipping email?
