i recently rewatched tlok, and remember someone pointed this out years ago after the finale dropped but i don't remember who was it, or where it was posted. i can't find it so i assume it's gone by now, and i wanted to give my own thoughts.
SO. we all know the 3 years korra and asami spent away from each other between book 3 and 4 is very important to their story. in reunion, asami tells korra she's been talking to her father again and is thinking about forgiving him. korra is concerned that hiroshi might wanna hurt her again, and asami goes off:
obviously korra was just worried and had no ill intentions, but asami's reaction is understandable. personally, i would at least feel a little bothered if someone who disappeared for years and refused to keep in touch after a while wanted to judge what i was doing with my life all of a sudden.
especially after having offered to give up everything to go with and support her in any way possible, and everything i got was a quick decline and a big ass ghosting after a couple of letters...
anyway. then we have this scene in kuvira's gambit:
i've watched some reactions on youtube and most people didn't GET it. it's not a surprise since it's a trend in avatar fandom to misunderstand korra's character a lot (and the writers fumbled a little bit with korrasamis development in b4 imo).
this is not a badass korraâ„¢ scene or something out of place, it's actually simple: korra knows how it feels to be distant from the ones you love and not being able to do much about it, because it happened to her. korra's body recovered relatively fast and she could've came back sooner but, as toph told her in the swamp, korra was unconsciously sabotaging herself so she wouldn't be susceptible to getting hurt again. still, it felt so horrible to be separated from someone she cared about that she --knowing that bataar jr had love and devotion for kuvira-- used it a fucking threat to get him to talk!
and we reach THE korrasami scene, where they finally get some time alone after the battle and things have cooled down a bit, and the first thing korra does is apologize:
this is one of the few times since coming back that korra actively shows regret from what happened. it's the only time she apologizes for it, and it's to asami.
asami's answer is heartbreaking, but it is what it is. she could've lost both korra AND her dad, the people she cared for the most, but she still has korra. she's here. and that's what matters now.
On detail I'm finding really interesting about the RWBY x JL trailer is that they seem to rather leaning into/exploring the concept of Ruby's semblance being molecular deconstruction/reconstruction.
Like the animation for Ruby's teleportation power actually seems to SHOW Ruby deconstructing and reconstructing herself. And frankly, I think this is really cool. Like we're seeing something that has always been obscured by Ruby's petals in the main series.
Something something the bisexual pan and lesbian flags were all used as flame color palette options along with regular fire and CRWBY decided on the lesbian one something something
Anyway just seems like a neat way to confirm someone’s sexuality
I thought it would be fun to make her a mix between a barn owl and an ashy faced owl since I really love the idea of Luz having owl wings and such
I think it’s a nice enough idea for characters to carry around the feathers of, or at least symbols of, their family and parents. Some people carry earrings, pendants, etc, but Luz loves to carry the physical representation of her parents, especially with her dad being gone
