Avatar: The Legend of Korra

Or unless Xai, Zaheer and the guru are all the same person. #ultimateplottwist

Xai is the red lotus founder guy right? He probably was a member of the white lotus when the war ended in ATLA. So I guess he is likely to be dead by now. So maybe Zaheer is some sort of reincarnation of him? Not that it is very important since we do nkt really know Xai. The guru is more importsnt.

Yeah I guess it was him. I do mot know when he coild have said that though.

True, but I think he wasn't a member after the war since those were mostly "old" people. He must have join later after the war. He could be alive. Maybe he found some way to retain himself using the spirits or something.

Probably. I mean Unalaq was a member, I am sure he would not join a group of 4 young anarchists. There have to be many more of them. And if the Guru is still around he is probably their leader.

Well, I think he was a member during the war since the Red Lotus was created because some people within the white lotus disagreed with the decision to reveal the white lotus to the public during the battle of ba sing se. So he probably found the red lotus just after the war.

But Unalaq, Zaheer and the gang must have been alive then in order to do that since they joined him during that time.

That is probably what happened. We know Zaheer has a strong connection to thr spirit world, that must have been how he met the guru. Also I suspect thr guru had something to do with the nee airbenders. They never gave a goood explenation for the new airbenders.

Yeah he's probably some ancient spirit. Ko, the face stealer, I remember had some airbender guru looking face... maybe that has somethingto do with it. IDK. But maybe the reason why Bumi got airbending powers because they knew Tenzin would die... and Aang needs some son to have airbending to pass on airbending.

I don't think Koh is the Guru though. And they already said Jinora sort of became an airbending master earlier on in the season (she is apparently better than Tenzin) so I guess she could pass on airbending.

I'm disappointed about the finale. It all felt rushed. They pretty much revealed in the opening sequence that Tenzin was alive. It was never explained how Zaheer got his knowledge of the air nomads (specifically the Guru) and his strong connection to the spirit world. And the venom being made of metal was totally pointless. Then they humiliated Zaheer (who went a bit crazy near the end) and 3 out of the 4 red lotus members are probably dead (the least developed ones). Luckily Zaheer is still alive though. I can't imagine he won't return for book 4. They could just have killed him in the fall, or have Su bend the poison in him, but they kept him alive... there has to be a reason. I really expected more spiritual stuff and more shocking reveals in the finale.

Also, I still think Tenzin should have died. And if not him then at least Torlaq should have died when Zaheer pushed him off the mountain.

Yeah I agree Tenzin should have died. The ending with Jinora becoming a master would have made more sense, since she would be taking his place. But the part that stood out to me was the ending, and the scene with Vaatu, Unalaq and Amon. I think she has come to realize that they all weren't the villains in this conflict and she's starting to realize that maybe their beliefs, ideals, and reasons were true. But obviously the way they tried to make their visions come true was not. I think Pi'li's death and Ming Hua and the lava bender (forget his name) Shouldn't have gone out yet. Maybe they are still alive. You never know. But I still think this whole conflict will carry on to the next season. The Red Lotus will most likely still be the enemies, but Xia Bau and the Guru and Zaheer I still think will be continued. Korra is broken now too. And the President is still obnoxious. Maybe she'll come and realize that there needs to be a new order. But I did like the last scene where she shed a tear.

Vaatu's ideals were anything but true... he wanted to throw destroy human civilization and start an age of darkness. I highly doubt Korra agreed with him. But she already agreed with some of Unalaq's ideals (opening the portals). But yeah that scene was good. I also think it was a reference to the earlier seasons since it was the 100th episode. The idea of killing Korra in the avatar state was obviously a reference to "Crossroads of Destiny" (they even had the same crystals in the cave) and the fight between Korra and Zaheer was very similar to Aang and Ozai's fight.
