*** The past Avatars now have no chance of seeing any of their surviving loved ones in the physical world. Aang's grandchildren are too young to have ever met him physically, but at least he could have seen them, his children, and wife through Korra. Now he can't even do that. Likewise, Roku can no longer see his descendants (Zuko, Izumi, and Iroh II).

The expression on Zaheer's face is definitely "My God What Have I Done?"


** The look on Zaheer's face when Korra tells him that all his efforts to bring freedom to the world only paved the way for a dictator even worse than the one he took out. For better or worse, Zaheer is a true believer and his devastation is not feigned.

** When she turns around, we see a shot of the family. All of them are holding each other and have scared expressions, but pause the screen and we see ''Jinora hugging Ikki'', just how her parents are holding the other two children. Jinora is hardly 10, yet here she acting like an adult for her younger sister. Ikki's obviously extremely scared, but considering how Meelo and Rohan are little young to fully understand what's going on, Ikki is the youngest one who knows what danger they're in. Jinora obviously knows too, and protectively hugs Ikki. It's little more than a few frames, but it captures the two girls' relationship perfectly. Seeing the whole family so scared and shocked is a tear jerker in and of itself, but Jinora and Ikki's expressions are especially powerful.

** Moreover, Amon triumphantly gloats over how he is poised to rid the world of airbending forever. The unique art was pushed to the brink of extinction a century prior, there are only four living practitioners of it even many years on from that and Air Nomad culture is centred around it in a way no other culture is with its respective element. Had Amon succeeded in his intentions, airbending would have been eradicated for good and with it Aang's dream for the eventual restoration of his people.



* Tenzin harsh dismissal of Bumi's accomplishments as crazy stories. Even worse is that we see him take out a base camp in a manner like how he'd describe his stories, and when he's about to tell them, he realizes there's no point because they won't believe him anyways.

* After Unalaq forcibly removes Raava from Korra, he starts beating on Raava. On the first hit, Korra sees the image of Aang disintegrate. The next blows destroys Roku, followed by Kyoshi and Kuruk. One by one, Korra's link to each and every past life of the Avatar is destroyed and Korra, who also physically suffers with each blow, is unable to stop it. Finally, with one last blow, Unalaq destroys Korra's connection to Wan and Raava.
