History Awesome / TheLegendOfKorraBookFour

** Addendum to this: the mecha suits are essentially [[ShoutOut Mk1 Iron Man suits]] complete with [[ShockAndAwe Lightning blasters]], flamethrowers and retractable [[Franchise/SpiderMan metal cables]] for assisting in movement. This makes the suits [[LightningBruiser Lightning Bruisers]] in combat, even [[NoSell shrugging off]] Bolin's earthbending. Lavabending on the other hand averts the ConvectionShmonvection trope by having it play out how it realistically would against armored soldiers.

** Korra mops the floor with her once she goes Avatar state; the only reason she still loses is [[WorfHadTheFlu because Dark Korra briefly appears to her as Kuvira's face, shocking her enough to block the Avatar state again]]. Even if it was short, seeing Kuvira finally bite the dust was safistying.

* While certainly harsh, Opal's verbal beatdown to Bolin's attempt to make amends did an awesome job both in animation and voice acting to display just how hurt Opal was by Bolin not listening to her, and how after all that has happened a "sorry" is not going to be enough to fix things quickly. Its also the best showcase so far of how for all her sweetness Opal still has the inner fire and snarkiness of her mother, aunt and grandmother.

* The attack on the Colossus is coordinated like a boss fight in some [=MMORPG=]; a guild vs a giant monster. Bolin sinks one of its feet in a lava pit, Wei and Wing tie up its legs with metal cables similarily to [[Franchise/StarWars destroying an AT-AT]], Korra and all the airbenders try to blow it over, Bolin joins the earthbending Beifongs in toppling a building on it, and finally Korra uses an entire river to trap it. It's really just an awesome sequence, even if none of the attacks take it down.

* Varick does the EMP thing again. This time, he hits several blocks, and whole platoons of mecha-troopers collapse into heaps.

* When Korra sees physical threats won't work on Baatar Jr., and Su's appeal fails, she decides to psychologically beat him down instead, [[AdultFear with the fear he will NEVER be able to see his love Kuvira again]]. It works flawlessly. Baatar Jr caves immediately and tells Kuvira in a broken voice to retreat.

* The RelationshipUpgrade itself is a moment of awesome! One of the single most influential pieces of animation in the 21st century, rife with action, aesops, and life-lessons galore, and it tops it all off by confirming the most [[LesYay popular ship in the sequel series]], which is not only a crowning moment for [[WordOfGod Bryke]], but for the advancement of LGBT representation in children's media. Truly a beautiful ending to a magnificent series. ''Korra'' walked so that ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'', ''WesternAnimation/TheLoudHouse'', and ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' could run.

* Lin and Su metalbending every important thing in the cannon arm. Kuvira has to rip the entire limb off to stop them.

* Korra talks Kuvira down in the Spirit World, not by using her bending skills, [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath but with compassion]], leading to Kuvira's HeelRealization, after which Kuvira surrenders. Korra's come a long way from the hotheaded and brash Avatar she used to be. Korra also points out to Kuvira that they're NotSoDifferent in a well-done way. ''This'' is the moment when Korra truly becomes greater than Aang. While her predecessor would have energybent his opponent to finish the fight, Korra ''empathizes'' with Kuvira, proving that the strength to understand and pacify one's opponent is greater than forcibly subduing them.

** Varrick saves Bolin from the mechs by MacGyvering up an EMP. CrazyAwesome!

Lavabending on the other hand averts the ConvectionShmonvection trope by [[RealityEnsues having it play out how it realistically would against armored soldiers]].

* Kuvira's Colossus is truly a marvel of engineering to be able to operate under it's own weight and seemingly being controlled with NOTHING but Metalbending (save for features like walking or reloading, which appear to be performed automatically.) If the rest of the series was a means of showing the Avatar world has advanced technologically since ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', then ''this'' is the cherry on the sundae.

* Kuvira conquers the city of Zaofu and earns her MagnificentBastard credentials in record time. ''One episode, no less!''[[note]]For reference, it took Amon 6 episodes.[[/note]] To elaborate, she highly anticipated that Suyin would strike first and try to stop her, so she set up a BatmanGambit to capture her, thus maintaining her VillainWithGoodPublicity status while making Suyin and Zaofu the aggressors and giving her a PretextForWar. That forced Korra to challenge Kuvira to a one-on-one duel for the fate of Zaofu which she loses badly. Kuvira then attempted to murder Korra, an act that would benefit her either way she would either be rid of an enemy or it would force Opal and Jinora to interfere and break the terms of their agreement, thus giving Kuvira the excuse she needs to invade Zaofu. Though Bolin and Varrick manage to escape, Baatar has seen enough of the spirit vine experiment to restart the project with Zhu Li's help. Put simply, [[TheBadGuyWins she won decisively]].]] Amon would be proud.

* Varrick makes a time bomb [[TakingYouWithMe to take himself and his wardens with himself. When they try to stop him, he reveals that it has also a remote control, so they have to leave! Then the train blows up... While Varrick is a {{Jerkass}} and MadScientist, he is awesome]]
