Nope, because Nick.com hates everyone that isn't American.
Seriously. That will be so nice when I move to the US.

are people gushing about the ending of lok because of the asami and korra Wow. Knew that it would end like that but given tv and stuff I didn't think they'd had the guts, especially with that mako thing they did, I bet shippers did a mental facepalm. Made me feel a little happy yet sad that would be unlikely the last time a new avatar gets aired.

I may not have shipped them, but Korra and Asami just made media history with that scene at the very end and the two of them walking through and holding hands, you mark my words.

I shipped them, but didn't think it'd ever happen cause Nickelodeon and was ready to facepalm so hard if that scene ended with Makorra. That aside, I thought it was a good finale in and of itself with the exception of only some minor possibly irrelevant gripes 1. The weapon Kuvira tore off for being useless yet still perfectly functional. also random: she didn't hesitate at all with amputating her suit lol, good thing she's not a doctor 2. no reconnection with past lives 3. su's dad is still canonically a mystery 4. no more korra 5. no more avatarverse period judging by what the creators said before 6. where's the soundtrack release for this and the last 2 seasons

The creators said they're not going to think of Avatar and take a break lol. It doesn't mean there's going to be no Avatar forever. It's a successful franchise though LoK was weak.
I didn't really like Book 4. I was still expecting something of the level of how Zuko developed as a character and became friends with Aang. I never liked or felt Asami's character. I'm sure the creators had a hard time figuring out what to do with her. I liked how she eventually forgave Hiroshi. The rest of her role though had been quite forced.
I didn't like the ending. The Korrasami conclusion felt kind of random to me even though they've been hints. It just didn't feel like it climax to something. And I'm not unfamiliar with this kind of move. Rick Riordan pulled the same thing with Heroes of Olympus with two important main characters that had been around since the first series and it was amazing.
I love the fight, especially Meelo. I had to go back to the scene of him breathing hard on the glass to laugh.

I just marathoned the last like 8 episodes of Season 4 because I was behind and needed to finish since my Tumblr dash is full of spoilers.
Personally I absolutely loved it all- I was gunning for Asami x Korra the whole time because frankly I strongly dislike Mako, his character never appealed to me. Bolin is my favorite, and I wish we got some sort of closing with him, and what happened with Opal. I am a bit disappointed we didn't get anything with Toph battling in the swamp, but I understand that they were trying not to rely too heavily on old characters, keeping it strictly to cameos. Would have LOVED to find out who the other father was (until proven otherwise, I shall believe it was Sokka.)
I cant really pin point any arc or story that I diDN't like. I love that Zahir was part of the ending, and the closure with Asami and Hiroshi was really nice. Asami I would have liked a bit more time with her and Korra's relationship, but Avatar has always been juggling so many storylines that I think they did pretty good at keeping with all of them- though the original series did it better, in my opinion.
I still ship Wan and the rabbit spirit guy.

i really liked the last season - it felt more like the traditional "Avatar" than the others - probably because of the journey aspect of it all. but the last scene felt weak to me, idk. i felt like it should have ended wtih them talking about the vacation - which i totally thought she was gonna say ember island dreams - and then *end* but them walking into the spirit world was kinda lame imo, but i really like korrasami overall it's just the last scene was just overly cheesy in the bad way imo.
i wish nick had given them four seasons at the beginning so that they could flesh out the characters more or at least told them "yer only getting two books sorry" and actually didn't give them any more, i feel like that was where the error was. in the beginning, they only had one season so character development was minimal. then they were like "oh it was a great turnout, here's another season" then they threw them 2 more seasons. the team was playing it by ear, so the writing wasn't super great. but that's just my thought.
ANYWHOO i'd be super great if there was another period jump series and release it online (or choose a different freaking time slot like jeez that was literally the worst time for their target audience) though it feels like the team just threw out all of their bad guys so idk what they'd do next. but yehhhh those are my afterthoughts i guess. i'm probably going to marathon the last season again just so i remember it all, lol.

I also totally thought the vacation was gonna be ember island. e.e
I liked the finale a lot. Those two episodes in particular felt more Avatar-y than the rest had. All in all, Korra was never going to be what Avatar was for those of us who were are die-hard fans of the previous series. But Korrasami makes me happy. It gives me a bit of an image of Korra passing down this legacy like... as that Avatar with a non-bending lover and the two of 'em traveled the world and fought shit and were badass together.
I would have loved some closing with Bolin too though. He was one of my faves. ;-; But really, like... closing with literally anyone else. The Fire Nation was basically out of the picture for the entire Korra series, and I was really excited to see it again. ohwells

Unfortunately, Korra was initially never going to be more than a one season one-shot. That was where the problems first began; Nick saw the ratings and demanded 3 more seasons.
Then, during the process of Book 4, Nick turned around and cut funding. That was problem two.
The double whammy of those two things were what killed any sense of closure
