Is it me or is lesbianism the "plan b" of any bad show

>>77821474
Season 3 and 4 were building a relationship between them. Not a romantic one, but they were in no way enemies.

Name any show other than Korra

No, you're just an idiot.

>>77821474

Lesbians have become a tool for writers that knows that their show is going down the toilet. People (specially millennials) will not notice the huge flaws in their stories if they focus on the homosexual pairing and being "progressive".

Korra was horrible in almost every single department:

She did a HORRIBLE job as an avatar (i really pity the next avatar that will need to fix the world due to all her stupid decisions).

She was an a abusive girlfriend to Mako and probably will be to Asami.

She was a backstabbing pile of garbage and it took her 3 seasons to realize that maybe she needs to be a better person.

And let's not talk about that immensely idiotic choice of letting a bunch of human hating, lazy bastards and overall haters of any sort of advanced civilization, spirits into the physical world.

Sometimes i believe that universe needs something similar to the Templars of Dragon Age.

>>77821966
It's even worse for the next Avatar because Korra is going to be the only previous Avatar that they can draw experience from when they enter the Avatar State.

>>77822012

>The Next Avatar hates the world that Korra left.
>Korra want's to give him advice but he just refuses to hear her.

Let it go you faggot. For all the hate you give sjw tumblrinas about arguments staring you sure like to hold on to one thing

>>77821474
The writers should have stayed the course and go with Korra/Mako as they initially planned when they only had one season to work with. Plus, it shuts up the Zutara fangirls who wanted their brooding firebender to go out with the outgoing watergirl.

Lesbians are the safe gay, the writers would have never had 2 guys together, especially not main characters

Not necessarily lesbianism, but general "social awareness"/progressiveness instead. And even then it's a fairly recent paradigm.

You can already see them building up the "You just hate it because you're sexist" defense for the new Ghostbusters.

It's been a year already. Let it go.

Yeah, that's exactly why they did it. Seems logical.

Yes.
lesbianism saved Korra of fall in oblivion.

>>77822165
Lesbians have a higher rate of domestic abuse than gay and straight couples, its incredibly irresponsible of them to glorify it and encourage it like they do.

You gotta hit someone eventually, That was Angs problem. Except he wasn't insufferable.

>>77822162
How about the fact that you can't top Bill Murry and Dan Aykroyd, and no one likes re-releases

>>77822061
His past lives would tell him he's being an obnoxious cunt. Especially Aang, considering Korra did so much good for the air nation.

>>77822249
>Korra did so much good for the air nation

On accident, really. There was no way she could have known that would happen, and if she is responsible for that then she is by extension responsible for the death of the earth queen and the rise of Kuvira

>>77822165
nah, faggots are absolutely disgusting. Literally the only form of acceptable gay is cute 2D lesbians.

>>77822249

>Yeah, soooo much good for the air nation! Just last week a spirit possessed a guy and made him a tree monstrosity that can't move at all. He gone mad and you can tell he is desperate. Yeah, but it's OK, because it helped YOUR nation. Maybe, i am being obnoxious, but i recognize a selfish prick when i see one.

>>77822291
Right, and Aang is responsible for the millions of people who died during the fire nation invasion when he was stuck inside an iceberg.

>>77822220
>You gotta hit someone eventually

The problem isn't hitting someone, the problem is that Korra was a huge moron.

>>77821494
>but they were in no way enemies
which is kinda dumb considering how they hated each other in S01/S02. You would never be friends with someone that stole your boyfriend twice. Magically, they are in S03.

>>77822363

Yes, he was. But at least he managed to stop the war. Korra ALWAYS started them.

>>77821474

I think there are definitely a lot of creators who take a progressive stance on race, gender, and sexuality (aka SOSHIUL JUST ISSS) to bring in more viewers. They almost always put a scene in where a character verbally mentions it, like WOW THOR YOU CAN DO ANYTHING THAT MAN-THOR CAN DO. It's pretty obnoxious.

But I feel kind of like, there are so many problems with the entertainment industry and the world at large, is shoddy political-fanservice that big of an issue? I don't really ship it either, but an implied relationship at the end of a cartoon show doesn't really have me seeing red.

>>77822382
They both realized the guy they were after was a shmuck. The audience realized that long before either of them.

>>77822382

SHIT WRITING

>>77821966
>it took her 3 seasons to realize that maybe she needs to be a better person
she didn't realize that at all. The only thing she realized in S04 is that she needed to learn how to punch again.

>>77822363
Not really, Aang would have been killed had he stayed. The genocide was going to happen regardless of his actions

>>77822249
>considering Korra did so much good for the air nation
no one cares about punching air. People care about stability; living peacefully. Korra fucked that up by bringing spirits and setting Zaheer free to cause S04.

>>77822363
>>77822390
>Aang is responsible for the millions of people who died during the fire nation invasion when he was stuck inside an iceberg
he didn't cause the fire nation invasion. Korra caused Kuvira. Your logic is flawed.

>>77822341
Sorry mate, but your neckbeard-self insert avatar does sound like a little bitch. Korra, Yangchen and Kyoshi would hate him because he's a pussy pacificst faggot. Aang would hate him for giving Korra shit because she restored the air nation. Roku would hate him because he keeps blaming other people instead of trying to fix shit himself.

>>77822409
Korra was the one that kissed Mako, as far as i know. Two times.

Do you forget how awful their romance was?

>>77822469
He didn't cause the invasion, but he ran away from his duty and as a result there was no avatar for 100 years to stop the fire nation. That was his fault. Roku however DID cause the invasion.

Korra caused Kuvira and stopped her in the span of 3 years, with the death count being infinitely lower than that of the fire nation during Aang's 100 year sleep.

you're forgetting Aang is reasonable and knows that giving people airbending back (which is very different than "restoring the air nation" when we think about air nomads) doesn't help considering all the shit Korra did. She literally liberated Satan in Republic city. She allowed spirits to fuck shit up. She caused S04. Aang knows that.

>>77822518
>He didn't cause the invasion
if he didn't cause the invasion there is no proportion here. He didn't fuck up anything. You're trying to say that "taking too long to fix shit someone else caused" is worst/the same as "creating shit and not fixing it at all". Again, if Aang had stayed, he would just die anyway or be captured. Leaving was necessary.

>That was his fault
things he didn't cause cannot be "his fault".

>Roku however DID cause the invasion
he didn't. Again, not stopping it is different from causing it.

>Korra caused Kuvira and stopped her in the span of 3 years
after Kuvira fucked up (or fixed?) the earth nation and RC. It's like when she "saved" RC after she liberated Vaatu.

It's definitely used as a defense more in the Video Game industry, Bioware for example.

People though hype up any mention of it though to feel progressive, intellectual, whatever. It was true from the very beginning Bryke had no clue on how to write a female. Korra was all over the place in terms of character development. So as a now typical fall back they way they sought to absolve themselves from the people who art this shit up anyway was to pull the gay card.


Though back to what i said about the people hyping it in to oblivion being the real problem look at How to Train Your Dragon 2. Craig Ferguson adlibbed a line and it is now heralded as a peak moment in us progressing as a species.

What people can't accept is that once something is accepted they can no longer gain the admiration or rather attention they once had due to their own insecurities and have to move on to something else.


Basically making characters gay is not the issue, it's the rabid attention seeking masses that is.

>>77822575
Man, Aang apologists are unbelievably pathetic.

The kid ran away from his duty as Avatar. The world suffered directly as a result of his cowardice. He didn't have to fight the fucking Firenation head on, but he could surely have stuck around, searched for bending masters, gotten more powerful, found allies and then defeated the firelord. You know... exactly what he did after he woke up.

>>77822669
>he didn't. Again, not stopping it is different from causing it.

Roku himself says he caused it and that he's sorry that Aang had to clean up his mess, you fucking moron.

>>77822706
He couldn't really prepare for something he had no idea was coming. He ran away for reason unrelated to the firenation invasion.

>>77822731
Roku didn't invade anyone, Sozin did. Roku didn't encourage Sozin to do it either. So no, roku didn't cause the 100 year war, Sozin did.

Everybody loves hot lesbians. They're the most widely accepted LGBTQYWXZ+++ group out there.

>>77822575
>and whenever Korra "fixes" something it bites her in the ass

That's because LoK is a better written, more mature story. ATLA is a children cartoon, so naturally the hero always wins and always gets the easy way out without having to make sacrifices. It's always mindblowing to me how many ATLA fanboys actually consider bad, childish writing a virtue. Yes, Aang didn't suffer nearly as much as Korra, he never had to deal with consequences of his actions, everything always worked out perfectly for him. That is NOT good story telling.

I always did think that Korra injected some mindcontrol poison in him when she did that. Mako, tool or not, seemed to genuinely like Asami until suddenly he got overprotective of Korra because reasons.

Korra didn't invade anyone, Kuvira did. Korra didn't encourage Kuvira to do it either. So no, Korra didn't cause the EK civil war and destruction of RC, Kuvira did.

STOP SAYING THIS WAS SOME BACK-UP PLAN OR SOME GRAND CONSPIRACY BY BRYKE

ITS WAY MORE LIKELY THAT IT WAS THE MAIN PLAN BUT SIMPLY SHIT. BRYKE ARE NOT SOME SORT OF CONNIVING GENIUSES WHO ARE OUT TO COLONIZE TUMBLR.

>>77822115
Wu and Mako were the closest thing to gay in Korra. Which is a shame because they had a fun odd couple dynamic and Wu could have had a real great story arc and instead they just kinda glossed over it.

>>77822823
But Kuvira would not be able to do it if not for Korras actions.

Roku had nothing to do with Sozin and Sozins plans. Korra is directly involved in Kuviras rise to power and the following suffering it caused. Roku even actively made sure Sozin couldn't do anything until he died. Korra did nothing to help the EK after the queen died.

Haha holy shit you are a hypocritical moron. Roku had every bit as much to do with creating Sozin as Korra had in creating Kuvira. Even more actually because Sozin and Roku were close friends whereis Korra didn't even know Kuvira.

Also how on earth was Korra directly involved in Kuvira's rise to power? Kuvira made use of the aftermath of Zaheer's revolution and the fact that Korra was crippled in their fight and disappeared for a year. Yet again, When Aang disappears for 100 years because he ran away like a coward, it's totally not his fault, but when Korra disappears for 1 year, to recover from damage she suffered in battle, everything that happened during that time is totally her fault.

>>77822843
This is what I assume. They slipped the 'buy-curious' line in the first episode as a joke of what they were thinking. Then they realized between season 2 and 3 that the execs would allow lesbians they toned it down to a sort of ambiguous hand-hold. But they are shitty writers so it seemed out of nowhere.

I will say that it was refreshing to see friends end up together instead of trying to push arguments as chemistry.

>>77822993
Roku had no impact on Sozins thoughts and secrets, he could not have stopped Sozin from becoming an imperialist.

Korra brought back airbending and that gave Zaheer the ability to live out his plans. She could have followed the advice of people who were trying to help her but she didn't. And ofcourse she failed to deal with Zaheer properly, again because of her own actions. That left a power vacuum in the EK which allowed Kuvira to take over.
Then after she had recovered somewhat, Korra leaves the world behind to look for Raava, somehow not noticing Kuviras reign over EK despite living there for up to 6 months. Then when she has recovered Korra still doesn't want to deal with the overarching problem even when she can and tries instead to do nothing right up until the point where she can't run anymore. And then Kuvira gives up.

Aang on the other hand, ran away because he felt the burden of responsibility, not because he was afraid of the firenation. He couldn't have known they would attack and couldn't have done anything even if he did. And what does he do as soon as he wakes up? He begins to prepare to fix a mistake he didn't make.

>>77822881
Not that guy, I don't even like LoK but this is some serious double standards.

>>77823138
How? Roku did stop Sozin as well as he could.

What did Korra do to stop Kuvira?

>>77823159
>Roku did stop Sozin as well as he could
Bullshit. Roku knew about Sozin's plans for decades, there were already Fire Nation colonies in the Earth Kingdom yet he completely failed to do anything about them.

>>77823190
He crushed the firenation palace and Sozin didn't do anything for the rest of Rokus life. Sozin also specificly did it behind Rokus back.

>>77822731
>Roku himself says he caused it
believing he did is different from doing it. According to his story, he didn't do anything.

>>77822823
>Korra didn't invade anyone, Kuvira did
Korra is the reason Kuvira was in power in the first place, while the FN would invade the other countries regardless of Roku's actions.

I'm just gonna say it.

Kyoshi was a shit Avatar.

>>77823232
She created the Dai li, and didn't do shit for the EK until her island was invaded, but that's it.

>>77823232
The only good Avatar was Wan.

Everything since then has been a series of fuck ups by his reincarnations.

I don't know how Raava puts up with this shit.

>>77823228
He didn't remove the colonies and he let Sozin remain in power, it was a slap on the wrist which had no real effect on the Fire Nation's ambitions.

>>77823275
>The only good Avatar was Wan.
he liberated Vaatu. He is probably worst than Korra.

>>77823269

What a horrible legacy to inherit. The Avatar State may as well not even exist anymore, because who wants to have that incompetent cunt in their brain?

>>77823292
I never said he was perfect.

Just that he was the best.

>>77823284
He was unable to kill his old friend, but he did actively stop the firenation expansion into EK territory until his death. To say he caused Sozin to become imperalistic is wrong, and to say he didn't stop them is also wrong.

He could have ended Sozin for good, but it would most likely not have solved the issue anyway.

>>77823284
Not him, but let me put it that way:

Take Roku out of the story. FN still fuck shit up. Now take Korra out of the story. S02, S03 and S04 cannot happen without her.

>>77823320
No. The best one was the fat air nomad avatar that we know nothing about.

>>77822220
>How about the fact that you can't top Bill Murry and Dan Aykroyd, and no one likes re-releases
Nope. Sexist.
It's that easy. Accuse your opponent of bigotry or stupidity and ignore all arguments to the contrary. That's how it works now.

>>77823314
>Those are both awful as fuck things though.
well, but she is hot.

>>77823331
I wouldn't say that he caused Sozin's imperialism but he certainly didn't stop it. He was a bad Avatar because he was far too forgiving and loyal to Sozin.

>>77823337
Yeah, he didn't cause the problem but he's probably just as responsible through his incompetence. Replace him with an Avatar good at his job and the FN no longer fuck shit up.

>>77823444
He was too forgiving sure, but he did stop the invasion for as long as he lived. If not for the volcano he would most likely (based on other avatar ages) have outlived Sozin. Roku also shouldn't be blamed for causing Sozin as i usually the case because Sozin caused himself. At worst Roku could have done more.

>>77823444
>Replace him with an Avatar good at his job and the FN no longer fuck shit up
i think you're overestimating what an avatar can do. It's not like he will defeat the entire FN army. Even Aang was only able to stop Ozai because he decided to 1x1 Aang. Perhaps through diplomacy Roku could stop the FN, but this just means anyone could do that, and not only the avatar. I'd say the avatar's job is more spirit-based, and that's why most of them just react to politics instead of interfere in them.

>>77824169
Then maybe they decided to make it canon from the joke. It happens sometimes, you go back in writing and get inspired by thow-away lines that you put in.

Either way, my point was that the build up to Korra and Asami ending up as a couple was written really poorly and the handholding was an ambigious copout. I don't think anyone is gonna disagree with that too much.

>>77822162

>You can already see them building up the "You just hate it because you're sexist" defense for the new Ghostbusters.

But a lot of people hated it purely because of the fact the ghostbusters were women. Like, they didn't say they were opposed to a reboot...they just didn't want women. That's pretty sexist.

Personally I'm disappointed they didn't use IDW's cast. The secretary, the goth, and the FBI agent are all chicks, and the con-man could be the audience's Bill Murray stand-in.

>>77822702
>once something is accepted

But gayness is by no means accepted, it's so risky to put homosexuality in a "family-friendly" show that Bryke couldn't even have Korra and Asami kiss at the end of the show and if they'd dared to imply a relationship as hard as they did between two dudes there'd be fucking blood in the streets.

You don't get the shit beaten out of you for being gay now--at least, not as often--but gays are still kind of invisible/not talked about before you reach a certain age. Given that boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands and wives are all portrayed in media from an early age, it makes sense you'd eventually have gay relationships shown in the same manner throughout media, and we're really just starting to do that. So it's still a big deal when one of the Captain Underpants kids turns out to be gay.

>>77824560
>"black man, white woman" dynamic that's everywhere lately.
Dunno how true it is but I've heard the reason for that is that black actresses just aren't as profitable. Hollywood throws in a black guy to hit their "progressive quota" but won't stretch far enough to actually show a black woman as a romantic lead, so they pair him up with a white girl.
It's similar to the latest F4 movie. They can racebend Johnny Storm because they want to look forward thinking but the idea of having a black woman on the team and having 50% of the main cast black was unthinkable, so they made her a white girl adopted by black parents.

>>77824748
Viola Davis is a pretty good exception to that. I think it might just be a combination of people finding black women less attractive and there being too few strong, talent-intensive black actresses on the market.

>>77824882
I'd much rather see a negress than black on white any day of the week

>>77824833
There are exceptions. Across Avatar, Star Trek and GotG, Zoe Saldana's arguably the biggest sci-fi star on the market over the last five years. But yeah, Hollywood still hasn't fully accepted the idea of black women in leading roles for movies not specifically aimed at black audiences.

Threads are rarely about Korrasami so i doubt that has any bearing on peoples opinions on the show as a whole.

>Now look kid, I know that Korra is going to tell you "I'm the oldest Avatar in your memory! I was wise beyond my years when I was alive!", but don't you listen to a word of it. She's the oldest avatar you can talk to because she's the only avatar who broke the Avatar Cycle, meaning that a hundred generations of wisdom and power that came before her are now lost for all eternity. Whatever she tells you to do, you should probably do the opposite.

>Also, if you ever need to enter the Avatar State, gods forbid, keep in mind that you are only going to be channeling the two of us. Try not to act like a cunt who sucks the joy and happiness out of all the people around you, because that's the only thing that Korra was skilled at.

Bryke said that they didn't have the ending to season 4 in mind when they finished season 3 and they went with Korrasami because Korra's VA thought it was cute and was pushing for it. Their hackery comes when they let that drooly retard have a say in things.

>>77827097
This is the first time i've ever read that the VA had anything to do with the ending. Usually it's because Bryke wanted it for whatever reason (probably so atleast some people will love their work).

>>77827097
The VA's only knew about it by a month before the finale idiot. Asami's VA spoke about it in a podcast. The only VA that pushed for a couple was Mako's for Makorra.

Korra was bad because it obviously shoved into the last 30 seconds and a clip show nobody gave a shit about to make up for the fact that the entire series was massively underwhelming.

Stephen Uiniverse has Dykes up the ass, but at least they're a part of the plot that's supposed to be there.

See that? You're proof of what I'm saying. You saw all the people saying "Melissa McCarthy is about as funny as terminal cancer." or "Everything they've said about this not only paints it as a train wreck, but a fundamental misunderstanding of what made the original work in the first place." and your brain parsed that as "I don't want ANY women ever".

He let his past history with Sozin cloud his judgement and gave him a second chance, and he obviously considers it his greatest mistake. He admits that in hindsight he should've tried a more permanent solution, and that was clearly going to be more than a slap on the wrist.

As is, all he did was delay Sozin's plans by a few decades.

Except they made them bisexual in the very last minutes of the very last episode of the series when they no longer gave a fuck about ratings and had no further obligation to Nick. Also they didn't have any kickstarters. Also there are no other shows you can name that include "lesbian" characters, because even retard shows like Adventure Time and SU won't actually commit to having lesbian characters and will just tease without commitment, while at least Bryke made a stand.

No. The writers, being mostly young artistic types, probably genuinely care about representation, or at least the concept of representation, and lesbians are much easier to get past the censors than gay men. In LoK's case, it was clearly a last season decision, when their show was destined to be canned anyway, and they were too cowardly and/or incompetent to actually properly weave it into the plot of the show.

>>77840472
That is going to be there later, but the first issue is about Korrasami as far as i know.

>>77835004
Templars in Dragon Age exist to keep an eye on mages. They're trained to nullify and resist magic and they are able to track them.

If needed they can remove all powers from a mage through a ritual or they can also kill them.

Their powers supposedly come from a processed mineral in liquid form that is highly addictive. The distribution of that mineral is controlled by the Chantry, a religious order that controls both an Templars and the Mages. If a templar quits the order, he no longer gets his fixes and suffer terrible drawbacks.

>>77835285
And there were just as many if not more that weren't and had legitimate criticisms, But all you chose to remember was "rampant misogny!"

>>77823546
Given what the Avatar is capable of (rearranging tectonic plates, bending the ocean, etc) Roku likely could stop the FN army, but it would result in massive destruction and loss of life, something the Avatar tries to avoid in general. Roku would end up a pariah (even more than he was already, hence living on his island) in his own home.

>>77821494
I just powered through the entire series. I skipped the clip show, and the ending of 4 wasn't very ambiguous, but just enough for me to ignore Korrasami.

But no, S3 in no way shape or form did anything to "build" a relationship between them. Outside of the one outburst when they're eating dinner in S4 when she returns to Republic City, there's absolutely no real buildup in their "relationship". Hell, Asami didn't really have any sort of role in the series at all. She was Mako's girlfriend and then she just starts hanging out with everyone for no reason. Oh, and her father is a psycho. They basically ignored her for most of S2+3, and then she starts getting lines of dialogue? Zhu Li got more development than she did.

>>77821966
Eh, Korra wasn't bad. She was a more direct avatar, but part of that was how she was raised. The avatars aren't all that different - being the same soul and all.

She spent her whole life secreted away with no real tutelage as she mastered three of the four elements as a kid. She never learned the discipline from those masters, and she wasn't an Air Nomad like Aang so she basically learned the spiritual side of her job on the fly. Besides, she was right: the world was originally between the spirits and mankind - Wan basically told everyone he wasn't dealing with their shit and put them both in their rooms.

They should have been teaching her from the start, but Tenzin was off playing politics.

>>77837554
Korra wasn't really a kids' show. Yes it aired on Nickelodeon, and yes that's probably what Nick ordered, but from the get go you could tell it wasn't written that way.

I think Korra was the writers trying to talk to the adult fans of The Last Airbender and that's what soured a lot of people. Most people (myself included) wanted more of the same, but Korra comes right off the bat with politics and a different setting entirely.

>>77835575

I'm not denying bi errasure exists but not every straight or gay person is out to get you or thinks you're a cheating slut because of your orientation.

With that said, I'm sorry that happened to you.

Would've it be funny if Asami was still as useless and was in the background in the comic like she was in the show despite being the MC's girlfriend now.

The shippers and tumblrinas would be buttmad and it would be glorious.

>>77845191
>Besides, she was right: the world was originally between the spirits and mankind
I agree with you on most things, but this part is actually wrong. They tell us in the show that the two worlds originally were seperate until Vaatu broke the barrier between the worlds and as a result the world in Wans time looks like it does.

>>77845513
Well then I stand corrected. Either way, the only bad thing about the spirits living on the planet was Shinra starting up in the Earth Kingdom.

>>77833298
See, I didn't think the show was all that disappointing. The first book dragged, and the second one had issues, but the third was perfect. They should've ended the show there; Book 4 was a thematic mess and went back to the boring politics of Republic City that dragged down Book 1.

I think a lot of people were upset that it wasn't The Last Airbender and never really got over it. I came into this show expecting the worst (having listened to everyone dog on it) and it wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination.

What the Hell are you talking about? She had absolutely nothing to do with any of it. When it started she was busy fighting for her life, after that she was injured for three years.

And when she healed up? She fought back. Roku scolded Sozen and did dick all else. He even admitted that he fucked up and let a brush fire burn down the forest.

Korra did practicly nothing to stop Kuvira. And as someone else said, had Korra not been the Avatar the Queen wouldn't be dead and no one would "need" Kuvira to step up and take over.


Roku put a full stop to the expansion for the rest of the time he was alive. And he took action against his own nation and friend to help the world.

Gays can get married in all 50 states. Some people might personally not like it, but there's always going to be holdouts about everything. It's accepted.

The problem with "homosexuality in family friendly shows" is that sexuality is an inherently sexual thing, something that most shows for younger audiences (especially in kids shows) go out of their way to avoid. Of course these shows are reticent to detail who puts what in who's pooper.

Monogamous heterosexual relationships are the default for the human species, so that shows up because a) it's normal, and b) you don't have to get tied down in the implications or greater detail.

If the biggest struggle gays and lesbians have is that not enough kids cartoons show same sex snogging, then the battle's clearly been won.

>>77846202
Korra set into motion everything from season 2 forward. She let out Vaatu which enabled HC to happen, she kept open the portals. Any of those enabled Airbending returning, which gave Zaheer the ability to kill the Queen and cripple Korra. After the queens died everything fell apart and they needed someone to step up and Kuvira did, which then became a problem.

Had Korra not been the Avatar she would not have been able to start the chain of events at all.

>>77824989
I liked Korrasami when it was just a silly joke/cute fan art/boner fuel.

you open the spirit portal and doesn't expect spiritual shit to happen? one advice, when you don't know what the fuck will happen, don't do it.

when she opened the portal, something she didn't knew what it means, she accepted the risks involved.

>>77846358
I'm not pissed it happened, but lets not pretend Korra had nothing to do with it. And unlike her everyone else actually did something to fix it, not make everything worse.

Korra could have done a whole lot of things to minimize these issues. She could have listened to people (like Tenzin or Tonraq) and have avoided season 2 entirely.
She could have worked with people and taken down Zaheer and his gang safely, but she didn't.
She could have dealt with Kuvira early on or done anything to stop her really. But again she didn't.

Against every single villain Korra did as little as possible to deal with the actual issue resulting in her being forced into a situation where either she fights and "wins" or the world loses. With Vaatu literally everything dies. With Zaheer the nations are dissolved. With Kuvira the 100 year happens again.

The problem was that Korra wanted to be more than a "kid's show" but the writers had no aptitude for the sorts of subject matter they wanted to tackle.

Anything potentially interesting or ambiguous, like the non-bender revolt, gets completely swept under the rug. The "civil war" turns out to have been orchestrated by a Snidely Whiplash-esque villain who literally calls himself "The Dark Avatar." Zaheer's worldview reflects an extremely shallow understanding of anarchy, and never really congeals into anything actually sensible ("Something something, uh, the void."). We have to be told that Kuvira is doing off screen evil things so we don't root for her over Suyin, the writers' pet.

For all its lofty goals, the writing in Korra is honestly more juvenile and flat than ATLA.

>>77846501
doing the single and exact same act that gave power to a terrorist is slightly more different than that. Fact is, Korra caused S02, S03 and S04 and the world is better without her. This you cannot deny. She should just stay inside her igloo and never go out.

A) Anyone could predict "Opening the spirit world" would be disastrous. Anyone except Korra, anyway.

B) When your protagonist would've done the world more good by just staying in her igloo, that's a problem with a story

>>77846445
>Against every single villain Korra did as little as possible to deal with the actual issue resulting in her being forced into a situation where either she fights and "wins" or the world loses. With Vaatu literally everything dies. With Zaheer the nations are dissolved. With Kuvira the 100 year happens again.

Korra actively tried to stop her uncle long before he got anywhere close to becoming the Dark Avatar. Mako fucked her and the world over by narcing on her (admittedly insane) plan with General Iroh.

Again, you guys are blaming Korra for the actions of an insane killer (who should already be dead) that she knew nothing about and who randomly got his powers in a completely unprecedented event. Then you further blame her because while she was recovering FROM BEING NEARLY MURDERED, one woman went bat shit insane and turned into Hitler, despite said woman pleading with her mentor to do the job instead. Then you completely ignore that Korra decided to fight her once she healed, and that she went straight to Republic City to plan the war.

I mean Jesus Christ, do you people sit around and curse your parents for every little thing wrong in your life? Where does it end?

>>77846709
>Korra actively tried to stop her uncle long before he got anywhere close to becoming the Dark Avatar.
Did she though? What i watched was her fighting to free her father after he went to jail. Then she left to gather allies, which failed and then she was out for a time. Towards the end, sure she went up against Unalaq when she realised the world would end if she didn't. But before that she was very inactive in stopping Unalaq.

I'm not blaming Korra for Zaheer getting powers or wanting to kill the world leaders. I'm blaming her for trying to deal with the situation on her own which made everthing worse than it allready was. Had she not gone after Zaheer with only her friends, the queen would most likely still be alive and she wouldn't have to sacrifice herself for the airbenders.

Against Kuvira, Korra was very much against fighting her. She even says so herself. So she obviously loses when they do fight because Korra once again doesn't have an out (though not her fault for once). Then she flees Zaofu and does nothing to stop Kuvira while in RC. Not only was she not invited because people have no faith in her, but she didn't even try to become a part of it. Once again she is forced to action because of a situation she was part of creating.

And if my parents was actively making decissions that were fucking over my life i would blame them. Korra is very much the person who enabled everything that happened in book 2 forward, even if she didn't know it would happen. This can be proven quite simply to considering how things would be if she wasn't present.

If you take this and compare it to Rokus situation or Aangs they're paying for other peoples mistakes. They're acting upon other peoples actions and trying to fix these issues before they become to big to handle.

>>77846741
RC is a maybe.

The Dark Avatar wouldn't even be an issue, because he was imprisoned until she released him.

She pleaded with the President to intervene and went behind his back to get Iroh to do it anyway. She didn't know her uncle was a psychopath, and it's not the Avatar's job to police internal tribe matters.

>>77846709
>Korra actively tried to stop her uncle long before he got anywhere close to becoming the Dark Avatar
funny thing how she is the one that opened the portals to him.

>blaming Korra for the actions of an insane killer (who should already be dead)
death for kidnapping?

>she knew nothing about and who randomly got his powers in a completely unprecedented event
as people said before, it was expected for spirit shit to happen. Shit was going to hit the fan, we just didn't know what exactly. Knowing the person has nothing to do with it. If you fire a gun and it happens to kill someone, you're still a murderer regardless of knowing what was going to happen. Korra looked at the gun (portal) and said "well, it looks like a gun, but let's see what happens when i pull the trigger". She is responsible, it's the exact act that triggered S03 and S04.

> recovering FROM BEING NEARLY MURDERED
against a guy that she set free in the first place

>bat shit insane and turned into Hitler
arguably, Kuvira was right for the most part. She was just doing what any good leader would do and protecting her territory. Anyway, you could argue that Korra don't have 100% of the blame, but you can never say that Korra is not to blame.

Let me put it better: Kuvira is responsible for attacking RC. Korra is responsible for allowing Kuvira to get to power in the first place. It's probably 70-30, the blame, which still means Korra is to blame. Hell, perhaps it's even 50-50 considering Kuvira shouldn't even happen at all without Korra.

>>77846891
She talked with him one time. When Raiko was opposed to it she would rather include RC in a war they have nothing to do with than try other means to win over Raiko. So you would rather have her do even more bad decissions just so she also can try to fix issues she is a part of.

She didn't know he was a bad guy no. I'm not blaming her for his vision. But she actively went out of her way to not listen to other people. She never once questioned his plans before he "attacked" her family. So she is still to blame for making the very poor choice of helping him open the portals and invade the south.

I think the policing thing is debatable. Otherwise she shouldn't have taken action against Amon either, since it would be internal politics of RC.

We all know Korra needs a partner with a boatload of patience, who can look past her many, MANY flaws.

It was either Asami or Dying alone.

>>77821522

>>77833314
What was it about?

>>77846994
Mako would have made more sense. Even if it would also have been a terrible choice.

They could also have given her a random person not included in the show. This would also have been better because it wouldn't be opposed to the characters.

And finally, ending up alone would have been an amazing message about how she had developed to not relying on other people in her life. She would be capable of standing on her own. It would have been the better ending.

>>77846994
Honestly the series should have just ended with her alone. I don't know why they felt the need to continually pair her up when she was best alone and it was only ever a distraction.

>>77846891
>She didn't know her uncle was a psychopath
She sure as hell knew that the only way to open the spirit portals is with the avatar and that Unalaq needed them open before harmonic convergence for his plans, and still she goes to the spirit world before the convergence for no fucking reason, gets captured and condemns the planet to "save Jinora", something she didn't manage to do because Unalaq is not that kind. She is responsible for that for sure. Without her there is nothing Unalaq could do.

Maybe that was the plan, but seeing as how that relationship was pure cancer, they abandoned it quickly.

However, if they were even considering Korrasami in the writing process, it wouldn't have hurt to drop a hint of attraction on Korra's part.

I can buy Asami as a closeted lesbian in the first 3 seasons, but Korra suddenly being bi was the real problem.

That's the only way I can see a smart, self-respecting woman ending up trying to get with Mako TWICE.

She has literally no taste in men, because subconsciously she doesn't really want one in the first place.

Exactly. A while back, a younger cousin asked what gay means. I told her it's like when boys and girls fall in love, but boys fall in love with boys or girls fall in love with girls. I didn't have to get into anal sex or tribbing, it was as simple as swapping out wedding cake toppers.

>>77849314

They never attempted to show platonic but obvious homosexuals because the creeps who push it are more interested in driving a wedge between their children and their parents/care givers and sexualizing them to to make it easier to sell them shit and brainwash them.

There were ALWAYS gays in american cartoons, hinted at and outright stated without it actually being said.

...what?

They never attempted to show platonic but obvious homosexuals because the last American anti-sodomy law wasn't struck down until 2003 and the country's filled with wacky cunts still going bananas over the notion that it's perfectly fine to be gay, straight, or bi and even in our depraved, degenerate timeline you still have to pretend LGBTBBBQ* rights (and in fact their natural existence) are a matter of opinion. We're only now reaching the point where you can simply portray gay relationships as opposed to having wacky over-the-top Birdcage melodrama or quirky gay friends of the main characters being all sassy and shit.

>and sexualizing them to to make it easier to sell them shit and brainwash them.

korra probably did the most damage by far by merging her world with the spirit world.

humans and spirits would have to compete for limited resources.

but no, just ignore it and bring on new villains for her to deal with in season 3/4.

Meme trolling aside, the answer is "fucking no."

Steven Universe had lesbians from the very beginning, no attempt to "save" anything. It's what the author likes, that's it.

Neither AT nor really fucking Korra even had lesbians.

Here's what they have: garden-variety fanservice. That's it. They threw the shippers of popular shippings a bone. Hardly the first time a show has done that or a top 100 significant example. Also not progressive at ALL.

Not saying the "why" of it makes sense but Korrasami was a hugley popular ship long before anyone thought it would be canon, probably as a reaction to how much everyone fucking hated Makorra and Mako in general.

The lesbian shit was barely in it and the show was over at that point. Also, who would criticize them? They were already a show about an asian female character and got huge brownie points for that. I don't know if you've been drinking the /pol/ Kool Aid or what but it was just fanservice. The show was over and it had little to no influence on anything at that point. Very few people heard about the "korra and asami" ending or gave a shit about it, and it was probably split between good and bad for those few who cared.

>>77856745
"Korrassami" was popular for the same reason they pushed the show back for nearly a half year.

Korra looked and acted like the biggest bull dyke on the planet. When the test audience looked visibly put off by her and were questioning, they had the koreans fix her so she looked less like a bishe teenage boy and like a woman.
They also made mako and bolin super studs to make her look more feminine.
They hooked her up(and somewhat pushed the idea of her being the man in a lez relationship with assami)because THEY LOOK THE PART and the little queers are THIRSTY AS FUCK!
Only in the final season where they made her look and act far less masculine and more feminine and noticably smaller then Assam( and pushed her as the fem dominant online) did they go full on LESBIANS!
Why did they do that?
Cause they wanted her to be a "skinimax" lesbian that's marketable to horny men lesbians and girls who think bi is awesome.
Full on butch lez korra would not be marketable in the least. Espescially when you consider her personality towards her former boyfriend, the chick she's fucking now, and the beta orbiter around her. None of that shit is marketable.

Problem? The lesbians dug korra's look and the apparent sexual power dynamic that it spoke of. And them doing it as a last minute thing sort of pisses them off too. If what's been said on /co/ and other places is any indication.

I miss when Lesbians were seen as hot and not as SJWs somehow meddling.

Well, bisexual bonobos are the norm. But considering they're the closest to us socially and are ancestors were probably most like them, yes. Sexual and social same sex pairings of both genders are probably perfectly normal for human beings. They were probably looked down upon at times in history for complicated social reasons, either to encourage more reproduction. most likely for property passing reasons though, and to control social alliances.

It's really not a big deal and people who give a shit are quickly becoming a minority, probably mis-ascribing anger over other things. Seriously...let it go.
