I absolutely love the symbolism demonstrated in the finale. Despite the soundness of many critiques I’ve seen pertaining to Korra’s character development in Book Four, I think many may have overlooked the subtle elements that truly speak volumes about her growth. In this scene for instance, we see Kuvira’s first counterattack to Korra’s initial blows inside the mech’s control room. As you probably noticed, this liquefied metal looks extremely similar to the mercury poison that served such a pivotal obstacle to Korra’s recovery throughout Book Four. Though tremendously significant, her facing of such a symbolic substance is not what makes this scene so powerful. Instead. it is the manner by which she deflects it. Notice that she doesn’t simply dodge or block the attack, rather she allows the metal to envelop her body. Then instead of responding with an attack of her own, she fires back the substance at her adversary. A huge aspect of this season and series as a whole has been acceptance: approaching your problems and trauma not with the intent to eradicate, but with the openness to grow from them. Not only does Korra face Kuvira’s mercury-like metal strike head-on, which in itself is quite the accomplishment, she allows it to surround her. Then instead of distancing herself from the liquid, she takes control of it and redirects it at Kuvira. Say what you will about the episode, season, or entire series, but I think few can argue against the perfection of this moment.
