Yeah the weird thing about that scene is that we had just gone through the emotional turbulence of an incredible finale with so many twists and turns. One of these twists being the boat scene, which NO ONE saw coming, lol unless you’re a freaking prophet or something.

After the boat scene I was on the edge of my seat, mind blown and not really ready at all for what M & B would throw at us next.

While it’s not impossible, I still didn’t think at all Korra would be thinking of suicide at that point. It seemed like Korra experienced a true feeling of emptiness, like a void in her soul, because of her bending being gone.

Her identity might have been temporarily shattered because it had been wrapped up so much in her bending, but the destruction of that wrong focus of her identity brought her into the place where she could be open to more.

Her true identity was unlocked in a way. More than just her spiritual side is brought to completion, now she IS the avatar. A whole avatar with no parts missing , and I gotta love how Tenzin ends the book calling her ‘Avatar Korra’.

All in all, a wonderful addition to avatar !

But overall, despite the state she was in, I don’t think it is in her character to really so much as contemplate giving up that easily.

I agree with this. She wouldn’t even admit her fear to Amon and ended up challenging him to a duel.

“I’m not afraid of anyone!”

@midnight0094 @rabadoo
Yeah. Even if she did think about it, which she might not have even got to, she would’ve easily changed her mind. She’s tough, and she doesn’t give up

The general consensus on this site seems to be that she wasn’t thinking about suicide, but people on other forums are leaning towards the idea that she was

She was just very depressed and the reason they zoomed in on the tear is because they wanted to show that it was the very first time the avatar cried in the LOK show.

If Mako ever cries, they will probaly do the same thing. Mako is the only person in Team Avatar that hasnt cried yet sooooo….

No she wasnt going to do suside.

Dogs rule!!!! GO Naga!!!

Naga may be a minnor charater like Appa and Momo, but like all of the other animals in the series, she is AMAZING! My second favorite charater.

@bluedog270 Yes she cried in K104 and K108.

I strongly believe, I’ve said it before, that Korra was not contemplating suicide. She merely wanted to be alone, and as you can see in K108 she goes to random cliffsides facing out into the ocean to think. I think that was all that was meant to be shown. The teardrop falling down was probably just there to represent her sadness, and to set up Aang’s quote.

Korra committing suicide? Unlikely, Korra’s personality contradicts commiting suicide. No, not possible. Kids Show. Nickelodeon. They’d never dream killng the hero. Would suggest Hallucination. Events never happend. Amon still lives. Korra still in box and sleeping. Korra’s mind fooling happy ending and Korra near death? Possible, must keep in mind LoK a kids show from nickelodeon. Not enough data available to speculate any further.

Thought, Korra contemplating suicide never crossed my mind before. Thought noted, but unlikely.

a lot of people say that it was unlike Korra’s personality for her to contemplate suicide, but maybe Bryke were trying to show that even people with the toughest personalities, aren’t bulletproof to suicidal thoughts

I totally agree. another one of Avatar’s life lessons.
