Amon and Tarrlok Together Again

A sad story with a heart throbbing end.

I own nothing. The Legend of Korra is owned and distributed by Nickelodeon and Viacom. This video is for entertainment purposes only.

This scene was a somber moment, because Tarlok realized him and Amon/Noatak became what their father wanted them to be, so he put a stop to it before anyone else got hurt.

I like how we’re all collectively going through an Avatar phase again 😭

[skettlez]

Amon knew exactly what Tarlock was doing and didn't stop him because he wanted to die. That's why he shed that last tear.

[blackbankai]

Tarlock closed his eyes because he couldn’t see a path ahead for them. Noatok kept his open because he could see the end of it.

[wideawakeanimal]

Their father committed crimes, escaped to a new place with a new identity and passed the hate and quest for vengeance to his offspring. They committed crimes and were escaping to a new place potentially starting the cycle all over again but Tarrlok put an end to it. Kind of poetic.

[agentapples]

Want to know a fact that makes this scene more heartbreaking? Amon has the ability to detect movements due to his blood bending. That’s how he could dodge attacks. Anyways, he felt his brother put on the glove and open the gas tank. He cried knowing his brother was going to kill them both😭

[Copyrightbreaker]

The fact that Noatak probably feels Tarrlok grabing the glove knowing he'll die and doesn't do anything about it speak for itself.

I’ll admit that LOK wasn’t my favorite, but this was a brilliant scene. There’s just something indescribable about it that makes it seem perfect.

Noatok definitely felt what his brother was doing. He didn't bother to stop him because he knew what he had done and didn't want to live with the guilt.

This was a very shocking and impressive season ending. Even though they were villains I was saddened by the route they chose. Very strong and unique characters both

[MaskedRider_FAIZ]

That last boat ride was probably the first and final moment Noatak had genuinely felt happy after decades.

Is it weird that fate brought us all together after 8 years to watch this clip

[michaelwolf]

This scene is so heavy… Especially the fact that they are brothers… It seems that Noatak had a sense of hope and a clean slate, due to him reuniting with his brother, but Tarrlok tragically felt the weight of the responsibility to end both their lives before anyone else could get hurt… Or perhaps Tarrlok just didn’t/couldn’t see any hope in their future, and felt he was nothing without his bending and his political influence. Regardless of their precise mindsets, the brothers’ deaths carry an extremely heavy weight to them. :(

[Cup_of_tea]

I swear. This is the most heart-breaking, gut-turning, and life-changing scene I had ever seen in my life.

[gonxmaster]

For me this scene had such a huge impact, because at that point after losing his bending and all ambitions, Tarrlok felt like he was a no one anymore. So, this could possibly be interpreted as "I have nothing left" from Noatak's words. At the last second, he sheds a tear of final remorse, as he realized that he was going to die, he could have easily bloodbent Tarrlok's hand away, but didn't try to stop his brother, because he knew there was no bright future awaiting. Both siblings had nothing else to live for, thus making up the decision to commit sudoku.

So dark.

07/11/23 Edit: This is only my interpretation on the full scene, I can't for sure know what were Noatak's thoughts during the final moments before disaster. His tear could imply that he's either saying goodbye, maybe just reminiscing about his past, or the guilt that he felt on the sudden realisation that his young bro wanted to end it all, I wouldn't know.

And yes, I did type Sudoku purposely :)

[Rusharam]

The saddest thing is them knowing they became the thing they swore to destroy, tools for Yakone’s own legacy

[spider-fighterdenoir]

Even as a child, I knew what that tear meant.

[azix]

Double suicide on an animated series mostly intended for kids. Just wow. Imagine the shock I had when I've watched this scene for the first time, what a show 😢 This depth and this darkness is what I appreciate the most about LoK

[eraserheadsmoshpitk]

Tarrlok knew in their situation they would just keep the cycle that their father (being a criminal-fleeing-starting a new family etc) started thus he ended the cycle right there and there

[teamblack]

Amon and Tarrlok are very obvious parallels to Azula and Zuko. The prodigious sibling who is being favored by their father, and the brother who is being looked upon despite being extremely powerful. They both used to have sort of warm relationships, of course, Azula and Zuko's relationship was never as good as Amon and Tarrlok's, but still, they used to be closer when they were young. And at the end, both sibling duos' story ended tragically. Amon and Tarrlok died together when they finally became a family again. But it was too late for them, because they were broken. Azula and Zuko separated forever due to Azula's malicious intentions, and their relationship was broken for good. And both damages were mostly caused by their fathers. Without their father, Amon and Tarrlok would live happily as brothers. And without Ozai, Zuko and Azula's relationship wouldn't be that toxic.
