Hey youtubers this is Charlie. Thank you so much everyone that submitted questions for this
week's Korra Q&A.
So there's one more episode that is going to be on Friday, this Friday
and then the week after that will be the last two episodes. They will air together.
We also got word on the book four DVD it's going to be released in March.
There is only commentaries listed for two episodes.
It didn't say which but its probably gonna be the finale. Like the very final episode
of Korra ever.
and then maybe Korra Alone. Just because it felt like it was so important for the
story a book four.
I am totally sure I'll be giving away a couple copies whenever that comes around.
But yeah gonna be a little while.
So let us answer some questions. Careful for spoilers from the episode if you haven't
seen it yet. But
starting with number one. Edward asks: Who is your favorite Beifong?
I mean it used to be Toph Beifong. Easy answer. Lin is
kinda my favorite but only when she's with other certain characters.
Right now one of my favorite fan theories is that she is really Mako's mother.
I don't think that's the case but she's kinda like his surrogate mother.
Lin is a lot more fun when she's around most the other characters but just Mako
in general.
I feel like they have something special together. I will be real bummed if he
goes to the Earth Kingdom with Prince Wu
after book four is over and Beifong stays in Republic City.
I would hope that they would still stay in touch. Lin seems like she's the kinda
person that really enjoys her peace and quiet
but I think she gets lonely just like everyone else. Question two
SuperThischannel asks: What made Kuvira such a monster?
I would say, you know, she started out with good intentions and then just kinda fell down
the slippery slope
to being a tyrant. You could say that a lot of dictators
in the history of the world had good intentions and then just ended up doing
terrible terrible things.
Sometimes that's because they get bad advice sometimes that's because they've
completely added out of touch with the people they're trying to help.
And then sometimes you find out they were lying all along and they never
wanted to help you.
they just wanted power for themselves. Based on episode 10 it does seem like
Kuvira is just out for power.
She gave that rousing speech about taking back Earth Kingdom land
but she said that's only the beginning. Meaning that she probably plans to conquer the
rest of the world.
And why would you need to start calling it the Earth Empire, if all you wanted to
do was help people.
There are still a lot of things we don't know about Kuvira. So I'm hoping she gives
us more juicy details about what's going on
inside her head.
Question three: Mouna asks what happened to Azula?
The show had four books to answer the question and we still have no answer. I'm
starting to think the question will become the new
"What happened to Zuko's mom". Yeah, that is totally possible. They could just save it for the
comics.
I mean they explain what happened to Zuko's mom in the comics. It is funny that they
brought Grey DeLisle back to voice Ming-Hua but they haven't really
explained what's going on with Azula.
It's possible that she did the same thing that Toph did. Like she just kinda
went off into the wilderness and wandered off.
Until confirmed dead just presume that she is alive out there somewhere.
And given the speech that Toph gave about leaving things to the younger folks.
I don't expect to see her in the finale. They did say that they would be bringing
her back in the next comic book. The smoke and shadow comic book.
Obviously that will be a young version of Azula. So I think they'll just keep her there
in that space.
Question four Jack asks: What the hell happened to the Kyoshi Warriors?
Have they become extinct or something? No they are not extinct.
They'd mostly just been in the comics. Just because we haven't seen them doesn't
mean that they've gone away.
There are just way too many things to explain and Mike and Brian only have a
limited amount of time. So they're focusing on all the Korra characters
not so much the Last Airbender characters. I would just assume they are still on
on Kyoshi Island, doing fine.
Whenever Kuvira was first looking at that big map in the first episode,
it would have been really cool if we'd have seen Kyoshi Island on the map
somewhere.
Even just a small easter egg. I am totally cool with them not explaining a lot of
Last Airbender stuff. Just as long as there's like a subtle turn of
phrase or a small joke.
Like the fish vendor with the picture of Aang. Like that was the best easter egg
ever.
Question five Nikki asks: Hey Charlie, Do you think that Team Avatar will be fighting the forces of
Kuvira
or just Korra? So you are saying like a one on one thing like last time. No I don't think
it's going to be repeated like that. I think they'll have a moment like that
and then Korra will - instead of fighting her - have some other solution.
but I do think that before that happens there will be some fighting. Like
they have Asami mechs and then they have Kuvira's mechs so obviously those are
probably gonna throw down first.
Asami seemed so happy when she was trying to explain that plan of hers.
She's just like "Look at my project! Look how amazing this is!"
That's why she's gonna go down as one of my favorite Korra characters. I just love
little things about her like that.
I think that they will build some of those mechs. I think the issue was that
president Reiko wanted spirit vine weapons attached to them
and that was what Korra was arguing about. So I don't think that they're going to do
that
but it is possible. You could see a bunch of flying mechs with WMDs
strapped to their backs. Question six Betty Sue asks:
What are the new inventions Asami and Varrick are working on and how do you think
they'll be used?
Well so like I have explained, they're basically flying mechs. But I think what they are gonna do
is: they're gonna build them and then only a couple of them will get used before Korra stops
the fight.
If you look at the diagram they can actually fit two people inside them.
So I'm guessing one person flies another person operates the weapons.
Since Varrick used that EMP I also think there'll be a version of that too.
Like it won't just be the mechs there'll be something else they're working on. And
since it is Varrick
I do think that there'll be a twist and he'll do something kinda shady.
I would be disappointed if they'd just completely made the character do 180 and he
became this
super nice likable guy who did everything the right way.
I mean it's Varrick so he supposed to be kinda of a butt. Zhu Li is the one that balances
him out
and now that she's going back to Republic City I think he'll go back to
being the way he was before.
Maybe appreciate her just a little bit more though. Question seven JediKnight asks:
Could there be a possibility of seeing a montage of future avatars in the last episode of
Korra?
No I don't think they're gonna do that. They did actually post a picture from the
sound editing booth.
They weren't super clear but this is going to be one of the final shots of Korra.
I don't think it'll be the last shot of the series, just because I don't think that they
would
tease that out. If anything it'll be just the birth of the next avatar.
if she does end up dying. Really I think what they would want to do is tie up the
big story lines.
And then leave on a ending that's ambiguous enough that it gives you some head
space to think about what might be happening with the characters. It gives
them a future.
Without necessarily completely spelling it out in great detail.
And even if she doesn't actually reconnect with her past lives, I do
think we'll see a visual reference to them,
even if it's not in the way we traditionally see them. Question number
eight Xyalan asks:
Do you think that Bolin will end up with Opal? That's a good question.
I do think they'll try to make it work but Bolin seems like he wants to
be a mover star
and Opal seems like she wants to stay with the airbenders. I don't see the two them
moving to Republic City together.
But they do have Airbender Island, so I do think they could make it work.
I'd be really surprised if they'd gave us a flash forward and showed us
like a Bolin-picture with a bunch of Bolin-Opal children.
I do think that they'll end things on good terms. It seems like
they're kinda back together as of episode 10. So you can just consider them a couple.
Everybody makes mistakes. I mean the avatar characters aren't
infallible. So it's possible they could break up in the future,
after the series is over. Hopefully not, you know I would like to see them
together.
Question number nine Momo Bear asks: Why have they left Kai out for the past three
episodes,
just considering he's in a relationship with Jinora, you would think they'd mention him at
least.
You really like Kai. I think that he is really just with the other airbenders and they haven't shown
them because they have been critical to the stories they're telling.
It's mostly been about the Beifongs more so than the air benders but
I do think when we come to the big final conflict at Republic City
all the airbenders will come back to Air Temple Island. So we'll see Kai then.
As far as we know the airbenders aren't quite as critical to the stories as they
were in book three.
Question number ten Michelle asks: I want to know your thoughts on two things:
How do you see Mako playing out in the finale? Do you think he'll have a bigger
role
than just babysitting Wu? Also do you think that Korra will have her own special
moment at the end of the finale
do you think it will be more of a collaborative team effort when beating Kuvira?
So,
yeah I mean I think that Korra will have her moment with Kuvira. It'll be like the two
of them together again. Kinda like when they faced up the first time.
To answer your question about Mako, I do feel like they're setting it up for him
to go with Wu and become his adviser.
That was why I think he made that comment: "You're starting to look like the
kinda person I could go to work for."
The bummer about that, is that it would take him away from the rest of team
Korra.
Altough to be fair - I mean if Korra is gonna continue living, if you didn't die in the
finale -
then she'll be able to travel all over the place, just like Aang did.
So even if Mako does go to the Earth Kingdom, everybody else could still visit
him
and they have that high-speed magnetic rail now too. So it's a lot quicker to
get around.
Thank you so much everyone for submitting questions. These are always a ton of fun to do.
