You're telling me everything Aang and Korra worked towards is completely undone within a few years of the last episode? All the struggles they both went through to save the world, all the lives they saved, all the unity they created, ALL gets undone within Korra's lifetime?

Literally nothing any of them did matters at all. The world blows up and everyone's at each other's throats again. Everyone hates the Avatar now. Presumably millions dead. Korra finally had peace after 4 seasons of nonstop torture and then she immediately gets herself blown up off screen.

I understand they felt that the world needed a hard reset because they didn't know what else they could do with it. But frankly if that's the case maybe they should have just let it end while it's in a good place? Literally \*destroying the world\* so they can have a new conflict for their show seems so desperate.

If they had just set it a few hundred years after Korra maybe I'd be more okay with it. But she literally watched everything she and Aang ever worked for go up in flames in a matter of years.

Some people have accused this chapter of "bad writing" and I'm genuinely confused as to why, so I'm gonna list some complaints I've seen and give my two cents on them. TO BE CLEAR I'm not saying that you aren't allowed to dislike this chapter, I'm saying that accusing it of being "objectively bad" for any of the following reasons is silly and can be easily disproven.

CRITICISM; "It's unrealistic for Noelle and Susie to fall in love. They've only known each other for a few days."

• ANSWER; This is verifiably untrue. Most dialogue points to them having crushes on each other before the story even begins. They are confirmed to have liked each other since at least the beginning of the school year.

CRITICISM; "Their date was too corny! It's like a fanfic!"

• ANSWER; They are two teenagers on a first date. Of course they're being corny. You might dislike the tone, but to say that it's unrealistic or bad writing is silly.

CRITICISM; "Susie was acting out of character this chapter. She was too kind/girly/romantic."

• ANSWER; Her entire character arc for 4 games has been building to this. She has spent 30ish hours of story slowly gaining confidence, and becoming more in touch with her feelings. She's not acting uncharacteristically, she's just not the same character you met in chapter 1.

CRITICISM; "The date came out of nowhere! I didn't even know Susie liked Noelle!"

• ANSWER; What? Did you even play the game??

#CRITICISM; "The plot didn't progress enough. This feels like filler."

• ANSWER; This one is definitely more of an opinion than something to be disproven. While I also wish that we got more lore this chapter, we should remember that the story isn't ALL mysteries. We got wonderful character development for Susie and Ralsei, we learned that Susie lives in Castletown now, we learned that Ralsei knows Kris opens the fountains. We got lots of little worldbuilding additions like Ralsei praying and Noelle's mental health. We didn't learn as much about the main mystery, but we still learned quite a lot about other things. I personally think it's fine but it's totally reasonable to be disatisfied. I just don't think it qualifies as "bad writing" either.

EDIT; Edited to be less stawman-ey and condescending. Thanks for the feedback.
