Avatar - It Always Comes Back - Ben Rosenthal


1.  In the Southern Water Tribe.  Korra is just a child and is being carried away in the foreground by Zaheer.  In the foreground we can only see adult Sokka's head looking on as Korra is carried away.


2.  Reverse angle.  A tight shot severely beaten Sokka from the neck up - he doesn't have much left in him.  He holds in his arm his boomerang, clenched and about to throw it after Zaheer.  In the background to the left Katara and Aang are running towards him/Zaheer.  Katare is screaming and Aang is shocked.


3.  A tight shot on Zaheer as the boomerang hits him in the brow (it is the moment he got the scar on his brow).


4. A shot of the boomerang in mid air, flying back to Sokka.


5.  A wide panel.  The Boomerang has landed in the show at Sokka's feet.  Katara (who has tears streaming down her face of pure rage) and Aang are beginning to bend at Ming-Hua who has impaled Sokka with her water arm tendrils.  He has died.  Sokka was impaled before he threw the boomerang.  His last act was saving Korra.

  1. I presume this is your interpretation of one of the common theories on the "Where is Sokka?" question?

  2. Yeah - Always thought he would go out as a hero.
