The familial trio has been a highlight of the season, so to give them one more bickering/hugging-it-out moment is earned and welcome. It’s her Iron Man moment, though more visceral than anything in the CG-laden Marvel movies.Īs to avoid peaking too early, “Darkness Falls” balances the spirit rumbling with Tenzin, Kya, and Bumi’s search for Jinora. At one point, Korra swooshes through the air, propelling herself forward with jets of fire bending out of her feet. The intercut sequences are a Foley artist’s dream come true as boulders burst through the ground, fire rips like a lion out of Mako’s hands, and Unalaq lets ice blades loose like ninja stars.
The show’s directors never cease to find innovative ways to clash bending skills and it’s all made tangible by an organic soundscape. Consistent with the past few weeks of Studio Mir –animated episodes, the action is an insane barrage of elements and angles. “Darkness Falls” thrusts us right into the battle, Korra tossing Unalaq through the spirit portal for Mako and Bolin to ward off while she goes at it with Vaatu. Instead of offering up answers to every question mark, the two-parter opted for Kaiju monsters. In the end, the finale forfeits a fulfilling conclusion to Korra’s spiritual journey in favor of stretching the elasticity of its world’s rules. “Darkness Falls”/“Light in the Dark” cranks up the action from minute one and doesn’t stop turning the dial until the hour’s final beats.

When the lead-in episodes end with a supreme god of evil breaking free from incarceration after 10,000 years of plotting universal chaos and destruction, a show’s finale has few options beyond “go big or go home.” So that’s what The Legend of Korra did.
