In my brutal and honest opinion, the finale sucked. Yes. Why? Let us go into explicet detail of why it sucked.

First off, Aang mastered the chakra in like...5 seconds. What. The. Hell. No way. Okay. That just made me go "No way in hell". Next, the Guru confused me about the whole "Let go of your feelings" crap. I was just wondering if this was a little parallel to Star Wars. Love, but do not fear death? --"

Now...for Toph...

Toph just owned. Not a shocker. She's the girl. Wewt. And if I had art skills, I'd draw her. But sadly, my art skill is minimal (thank God for Art I).

Sokka...meh...his interaction with his dad was so fricking adorable. I loved it.

Katara...oy. Didn't she know that Azula, Ty Lee, and Mai weren't Suki and her friends? Apparently not. -_-

Zuko. God...I didn't know whether to be scarred or pissed. First off, Zuko's super peppy Mr. BRIGHTSIDE. Then he's pissed off OMIGAWD EVIL! Zuko.

Now...into more detail.

After Aang abandoned the Guru...I wasn't shocked. Then when he lied to Sokka, I was irked. Why would he lie to Sokka. What would Sokka do? If *I* were Sokka, I'd be happy he came to tell me *my* sister was in danger. I don't see the problem.

Then, when Azula was talking to the Dai Li and threatening them and making them "pee their pants", I was humored. Mildly.

When I saw Katara run after seeing Zuko in the tea shop, I facepalmed myself. Six times. And another seven when she talked to Mai and Ty Lee. *________*

When Iroh was invited to serve tea, I saw the plan forming. Woo for them. When Zuko challenged Azula to an Agni Kai and she rejected, I wasn't suprised. In fact, I thought it was a bit arrogant. I personally thought the jook was affecting his higher brain function, but whatever.

After Zutara was canon for about 2 seconds, I was ready to flip. But Iroh...I always thought Iroh was a Zutarian. Whatever. Anyway, Aang *conveniently* burst into the room just as Katara was going to attempt to heal Zuko... needless to say, I was irked again.

Did anyone else notice a reference to the dream Zuko had during his illness in the cave with Iroh and Azula? I saw one. I have a question though. Whhat the hell happened to "Azula always lies". His brain flew out the window on that one I think.

So Azula catches up and takes on Katara and Aang, and they hold their own. Then comes in sleeveless Zuko (with amazingly no underarm hair) looking like he's some street punk who can take on the Fire Nation. And boom.

Stupidity takes over.

One friggin season worth of development making GOOD! Zuko seem canon goes out the window. Did I mention his firebending is jacked to the max, even though he hasn't been able to practice it for about...7-8 episodes? Oi.

Finally, Azula pulls a cheap shot after Aang is able to let go of Katara in an all of 5 seconds. Iroh takes on Zuko and Azula, then gives up and finally, Zuko begins to think (in a nicer tone) "Sweet Jesus...I f***** up." Oh well.

I'm personally hoping he gets bitch-slapped by Iroh...or whatever. Maybe he has a plan. Eugh...

And to think...I used to think Zutara would be canon.
