Is /co/ still mad about this?

I'm not they're gay. I'm mad I was told by Bryke that I needed to take off my hetero goggles to see they were gay instead of blaming their shitty writing since in ATLA any romance was likeable.

>>88994406
This. They got a shit ton of praise for being "openly bisexual" but all we got through the course of the show was hinting and that final hand holding shot. We see Mako and Korra and Asami and Mako kiss and hug and do all sorts of relationship-y stuff. It's about as useless as retroactively making Dumbledoore gay. Just pandering for progressive brownie points instead of actually being progressive.

>>88994364
about how the show was handled?


Yes.

I'm not mad, but I find it rather silly to call it brave and progressive. I had no idea it was supposed to be sexual until writers confirmed.

I really don't care, I've never seen LOK

Yes, the color yellow still infuriates /co/.

I was never mad about it. Shocked to be sure, but never mad.

Couldn't do much since it was on Nick. I'm surprised they even allowed this much.

Good thing even though you come here, you're not a (wo)manchild, right?

How was Steven Universe this week?

>>88994364
It's a byproduct of how shitty the characters and writing was

So, technically, yes, I am still mad.

>>88994892
Right, that's the thing though, they didn't do much. They played it ultra-safe, then went on tumblr and patted themselves on the back about how brave they were. Can you imagine if back in the day Gene Roddenberry didn't let Uhura and Kirk kiss on screen, television's first interracial kiss, but instead waited until after the series was wrapped and talked about how he wanted them to kiss but the network would probably just never have allowed it?

Bryke wanted the reward without the risk. And who the fuck are they worried about offending? Conservatives? Bigots? They're already mad, might as well get your money's worth.

>>88995352
I hate that we now have to pretend that Asami is a relevant character just because Korra is now fucking her.

>>88995705
Oh, I'm definitely a manchild.

I'm just not mad because I was so disillusioned with Korra by the time it ended I didn't care.

>>88994364
I am because it made all the retarded and unnecessary teenage romance and love triangles from the first season even more retarded and unnecessary.

>>88995921
You do understand that Nick has the final say in everything, right? They asked if they could do it, and this was extent of what Nick allowed.

Bryke did arguably come off as self-satisfied afterwards, though. Then again the media and fandom were stroking their egos at that point.

>>88994930
>I knew this show was going to be shit when Korra magically new how to bend three elements at 4 years old

You gotta deal with it.

>>88995996
more relevant than mako and bolin

>>88996551
There is no season that has Asami more relevant than either brother.

Screw off with your waifuism.

>>88996185
Yeah, I'll give you that. Nick's not going to risk pissing off all the soccer moms and Bryke probably fought for every inch of ground they got on the issue. I'm just mad that they essentially took a baby step and got praised for running the whole marathon.

>>88996913
Eh, Mako I give you, but Bolin? The one time he's actually tangibly related to the main plot is in S4. And that stops being the case halfway through.

Let's just make implications at the last second when we don't have to worry about writing future episodes actually showing or exploring this concept. First! Lol

I AM STILL FUCKING MAD

I would say that Asami is more relevant than Bolin in the first one but then I remember that Asami wass barely in the show during the first half of the season.

She does nothing but provide connections beyond Korra simply being the Avatar. She is the blandest character of the bunch. I don't know how anyone could rationalize her being the second most prominent character. She's at absolute best the fourth most prominenet character.

>>88994485
Dumbledore being gay adds something to his story,

Even though I feel that it tries to excuse his "let's enslave all muggles past" as a manipulated girlfriend that just wanted his husbando to notice him.

Korrasami adds nothing to Korra's character or story other than "show is over, the MC has to fuck someone".

>>88997393
>>88997460
I think it was the bald-faced desperate pandering that pushed that particular bit into greater scrutiny. LoK was a failure, no matter how desperately the fans try to argue otherwise. It was performing so poorly that its premiers actually fell off the main network's lineup, and last-minute budget cuts actually forced them to do the old clip show routine. Bryke were desperate to preserve their legacy as revered creators, so in a painfully transparent and cynical ploy, they pandered as hard as they could to the Tumblr fanatics who formed the most energetic portion of the fanbase, by giving them an interracial lesbian relationship. Now, if there'd been any sort of organic buildup to this over the course of the series, if it had actually been well-written, then most people wouldn't have given a shit. But it was an ass-pulled, obvious bid to distract people by pandering and sparking "controversy". Then while everyone was preoccupied, they could slip away, status intact, and by the time their smokebomb had cleared, they'd be out of reach.

she's the chief of the biggest company in republic city that provides basically all of their weaponry and transportation.

Snake made him gay

>>88997929

that's because Korra/Asami JUST STARTED their romantic relationship, how retarded are you people?

>>89001498
>Why didnt the Fire Nation revolt against Zuko after Ozai was defeated by Aang??
Aang just calmly picked up the ocean and extinguished all the flames that Ozai's men and Ozai started. And he took Ozai's bending.
And his friends took down the advanced weapons of war and retook the EK.

ATLA made it a point to show that the good guys made a difference and things were looking up for the future.

>>89001498
Probably because there were enough people that either still supported him/Iroh, didn't like Ozai/Azula (which is a huge possibility), or just didn't care either way. I'm sure that there were a couple of them that secretly supported Aang too.

I saw it when it aired and I don't think they were implying they were lesbians. It's one of the most blown out of proportion things I've seen in animation.

I remember watching a Kids React to video where they said to the kids that Legend of Korra was a show with a bisexual female protagonist, so people are out right fabricating nonsense about it and spreading misinformation.

but that's the point; it's such an incredibly weak way to end the series. Nothing thematically relevant or anything they've been building up towards, just "hey! favorite ships canon now! That's cool, right?" It's not a payoff to anything for anyone that isn't some mouth breathing shipper.

What a boring finale. I might have been less disappointed if Asami was at least an interesting character in her own right, but she pretty much just exists to be their token chauffer with a healthy helping of ship bait, right to the last few seconds of the show.

Most she has going for her is god-tier character design. Seriously, look at her, goddamn...

That said, god-tier character design is all tumblr needs to insert their own fan-fic personalities on someone whether they have an established character or not, and Asami's character is just vacant enough to fit all their fantasies with little in the way breaking canon.

>>89006344
>her is god-tier character design.
Talia, Lust, Zatanna, Yennefer, comic Scarlet Witch, what it is here is that Bryan just copypasted a design that's been copypasted before. There's nothing of substance to it, nothing making it god-tier.

>>89001579
Sorry, but when you're so thirsty for asspats you pretend you totally were going to make them gay from the start you gaiz, you aren't fooling anyone. Korrasami was just weak garbage they threw in at the last moment in a vain attempt at capturing their AtLA praise.

>>89008902
Not to mention fucking the spirit world up in general.

>>89008837
As another bisexual, I gotta counter this with saying I felt the build up. It was subtle and a lot of it was huolt around having both dated whats his face(im bad with jap names) but it was there, they slowly got gayer as the series progressed. I don't think they started fucking until after the series, though.
I thi k most of the malice is cherry picking retard who would have found something to bitch about. Probably varrik, people with no sense of humor hate him, and those people cherry pick to bitch about things.

Except in beginnings people can clearly use the bending just fine without having to learn it from the "original benders" mentioned in avatar.

>How?

It turned the conflicts into a good/evil dichotomy when that was never really what the series was about.

>>89008958
>j-just because it's different doesn't mean misunderstood
Yes, it does. The fact that they tried to use yin yang imagery, and still fucked the whole thing up, including just basic qualities of the two sides and the whole concept of them.
The fact that they intentionally used the yin-yang aesthetic means they wanted people to think of that idea, and yet their good/evil concept was entirely different and a lot more basic. This shows how misguided they were.
But you're just shitposting anyway.

>>89008982
they got it right during AtLA S1 with the fish spirits so I wonder how they fucked it up this time around

>>89008909
>>89008925
Look, just because it's not technically a retcon, doesn't mean the additions to the lore don't suck ass.

The spirits were changed from mystical beasts like Koh and Haibei to fucking pokemon.

The portals to the spirit world cheapened it and actually was a retcon. Before when Aang was at the North Pole he had to still meditate to get there.

Lion turtles were a mistake in general. The mystery of bending is what made it cool, which also applies to...

The origin of the Avatar and Raava was lame. The Avatar never needed to be explained, the mysticism and wonder was lost IMO.

>>88997620
>Dumbledore being gay adds something to his story,

No. not really. The only thing it did was send a message that men can't be lifelong bachelors unless their actually closeted men.

>>89008958
That still throws "keep the balance" out the window. Chaos and Order, Harmony and Disharmony, Good and Evil, are all the same thing, but the point of keeping balance, is to work with both sides together. There is no right or wrong, there is no better, only balance, and that is something that isn't done in ALoK.

And which mythical beasts were the knowledge seekers, or the meditating monkey, or the monkey with no face?

>The portals to the spirit world cheapened it
How?

>and actually was a retcon.
It was not. Nothing in ATLA says that spirit portals don't exist.

>Before when Aang was at the North Pole he had to still meditate to get there.
Aang was never at the North Pole. He was at the Northern Water Tribe.

>Lion turtles were a mistake in general.
That's not unique to TLOK

>The mystery of bending is what made it cool
Where was bending demystified any more than it already was in ATLA? We already know that it's a genetic thing and that people learned the martial art of bending from animals.

>The origin of the Avatar and Raava was lame.
I disagree. I really liked it.

>The Avatar never needed to be explained, the mysticism and wonder was lost IMO.
I hate people who think that everything needs to be kept a mystery.

>>89009042

And that is pretty prevalent in TLOK starting with the Book 2 finale.

It is though.

>>89009073
>It's not my fault that you assume that there is only one set definition for Asian cultures version of balance.
No, the nit's Bryke's fault for using imagery so mainstream and associated with a specific Asian cultural idea that you'd have to be looking for explanation on why it was such a shit use of it to even consider that it's referencing something else, when they actually meant to reference some niche idea with the same imagery.

>>89009062
It started as satire bt by the end I was series. I thought the turtle age was pretty cool and I love the screams of rage that come from korra haters. It's fuckin' music
>>89009059 They're not deus ex machinas in their own context because there are other lion turtle cities with different elements, this makes for a cool setting with a lot of potential, not to mention high magic out the fucking ass.

>>89000638
Ah yes, the typical "It might not be well written, but as long as it represents me it gets a pass" argument, followed by the reply of 'this'.

>>89009073
You don't know what balance is do you?

>And that is pretty prevalent in TLOK starting with the Book 2 finale.
How? The "evil" spirit is sealed away, meaning there is no evil in the world from a spiritual stand point. That automatically means there is no balance in the world as only the "good" spirit exists with no counterpart.

>Bu-but muh portal
Has nothing to do with the spiritual balance, and even then Korra was shitty at keeping balance between mortals and spirits.

>>88994364

this was tacked on right in the middle of the last series, and had no build up whatsoever

>>89009120
>You don't know what balance is do you?
I know multiple definitions of balance. You seem to only know one.

Balance in the world of Avatar is equilibrium, not equal parts. You're not supposed to have as much chaos as order.

>How?
Korra tries to solve the issues in Book 3 and 4 by compromising between two sides.

>The "evil" spirit is sealed away, meaning there is no evil in the world from a spiritual stand point.
...Vaatu isn't sealed away. He was defeated, which means he's now going to grow back inside of Raava/The Avatar.

>That automatically means there is no balance in the world as only the "good" spirit exists with no counterpart.
No. Raava just beat out Vaatu for the time being. He'll come back.

>>89009163
You still don't understand what balance is.
One side defeating the other isn't balance.
And if it was, then it should've been fine even if Vaatu had won.

>>89009177
>You still don't understand what balance is.
I do, you don't.

>One side defeating the other isn't balance.
It is, just not in your definition. It's only temporary defeat.

>And if it was, then it should've been fine even if Vaatu had won.
You're saying that rampant chaos is a good thing?

>>89009073
>>89009073
>And which mythical beasts were the knowledge seekers, or the meditating monkey, or the monkey with no face?

They were cool. Just look at this and tell me you can't see the difference:

>How?

Because before you needed to undergo training and be spiritually enlightened to reach the spirit world like Aang or Iroh. Now you can literally walk there.

>It was not. Nothing in ATLA says that spirit portals don't exist.

Ehhhhhhh, if you want to be super technical it's not, but you know deep down that it was, anon.

>That's not unique to TLOK

Nope. But all bending coming from lion turtles was.

>I hate people who think that everything needs to be kept a mystery.

Not everything does, but it really worked for this universe. The little stories of origins of bending in the original series like Oma/Shu, Twi/La, and the dragons were really cool, and made the world feel alive. The lion turtles giving bending simplified it too much for me.

>>89009163
Don't think you know what the definition of equilibrium is either, here let me help you.

>a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced.

>a state of physical balance.

>a calm state of mind.

Wither or not Vaatu is seal or growing is irrelevant, there is no evil currently in the spiritual world, and there will be no evil until another comes along, meaning there is no balance.

>>89009184
Rampant chaos should be just as "balance" as rampant order, even by what you said, "one said temporarily defeating the other is balance".
Whether it's good or not is irrelevant.
You are either genuinely stupid, or are clearly shitposting/trolling, so I will stop taking you seriously from now on.

>>89009189
>They were cool.
So are many of the TLOK spirits

>Just look at this and tell me you can't see the difference:
Only difference I see is that we're seeing more of the base level spirits.

>Because before you needed to undergo training and be spiritually enlightened to reach the spirit world like Aang or Iroh.
And that is still a thing. If you're spiritually enlightened then your ability to connect with spiritual stuff is better.

>Now you can literally walk there.
Yes, but you're not exactly just going to have a good time there. Being spiritually enlightened very likely is much more helpful

>Ehhhhhhh, if you want to be super technical it's not, but you know deep down that it was, anon.
I don't because it wasn't. Nothing in ATLA says that spirit portals didn't exist.

>Nope. But all bending coming from lion turtles was.
Bending doesn't come from them. The power of the element does. Bending is a skill that was learned from the animals.

>>89009209
>Don't think you know what the definition of equilibrium is either, here let me help you.
You understand equilibrium as it relates to chemicals, correct? You don't want equal amounts of all chemicals. It's the same with Raava and Vaatu.

>Wither or not Vaatu is seal or growing is irrelevant,
It's not

>there is no evil currently in the spiritual world, and there will be no evil until another comes along, meaning there is no balance.
There is though. Vaatu just will take 10,000 years to be as strong as Raava.

>>89009219
>Rampant chaos should be just as "balance" as rampant order, even by what you said, "one said temporarily defeating the other is balance".
No, because Chaos is inherently harmful, unlike Order.

>Whether it's good or not is irrelevant.
Incorrect.

>You are either genuinely stupid, or are clearly shitposting/trolling, so I will stop taking you seriously from now on.
It's not my fault that you cannot understand anything that's being discussed

>>88994364

Never bothered me. It's just two friends holding hands and it doesn't mean shit. Aang and Zuko did far gayer things with that whole dance routine.

>>89009253
>You understand equilibrium as it relates to chemicals, correct? You don't want equal amounts of all chemicals.

>Chemistry
>a state in which a process and its reverse are occurring at equal rates so that no overall change is taking place.

Well thanks for proving you don't understand words anon.

>There is though. Vaatu just will take 10,000 years to be as strong as Raava.
And that is imbalanced, Vaatu should be as strong as Raava, not weaker, once again meaning there is no balance.

Dude, it's a complete aesthetic overhaul. All of the spirits in the original were based in nature and used natural colours like dark greens, and browns. The spirit world in LoK uses very bright and unnatural colours, and the designs of the spirits are completely random.

>I don't because it wasn't. Nothing in ATLA says that spirit portals didn't exist.

Before Aang had to wait till the solstice to be able to speak to Roku, or medititate in a place with high spiritual energy.

When at the north pole, why not just go into the spirit portal when looking for spiritual advice?

>Bending doesn't come from them. The power of the element does. Bending is a skill that was learned from the animals.

So the story of Oma and Shu being the original earth benders was just blowing smoke at the time?

>>89009335

Not any more random than Koh

>When at the north pole, why not just go into the spirit portal when looking for spiritual advice?
It was sealed and not too many knew about it

No?

>>89009375

He was based on a centipede.

The story of Oma and Shu being the first earthbenders (although it is a legend) is retconned by the events in 'Beginnings.'

It's not my fault it turned out shit.

If all he does is action scenes then he's replaceable and unnecessary. And he didn't do anything alone.

Bolin was shit and is shit and will continue to be shit, as will every character in the LoK series.

>>89011438

>Asami was basically transportation. Appa was transportation + actually useful in fights

>>89000790
You need setup for a first date. Even for Bolin and Opal, we had Bolin talking to his brother about it. For Korra and Mako, we had her asking people about her feelings. For Korra and Asami, there was nothing.

If you think otherwise point us where.

>>89000790
>set-up
Where?

>>89000794

Actually, people often point out how much he still has to learn. Toph even says that he sucks at earthbending. He is far from 'master level'

>>89011955
>bolin was sokka except actually competent
No, no he wasn't. Bolin was the failed comic relief in a show where every third character was the comic relief. He was the brother who only existed on screen because he was the brother of the guy who the girls fell for for no reason.

>>89012458
Actually we had Mako telling Bolin to try and date Opal. Characters only exist for shipping.

>>89002836
>Bataar
>Best boy

Suyin plz

>>89012484
>Actually, people often point out how much he still has to learn.
He does Toph's seismic sense perfectly. In the comics he isolates a city with his earthbending. And he constructs a golem out of rocks to fight a spirit made of iron.
Toph says everyone sucks at earthbending compared to her, even her own children.

>>89001458
They were 16

>>89001579
I think the issue is the lack of buildup. Literally Nothing before the last 20 seconds of show. And no, it is NOT like Asami and Mako, because now Asami and Korra are already at a moment when they conveyed feelings for each other, so the romance is already happening instead of going to happen.

>>89012490
And then we had Bolin realizing and saying that she is "Bolin material". The point is, it is there, the moment of realizarion that we didn't have with Korra.

>>89012534
>They were 16
Korra was 17. Mako was 19. Bolin was 16. And Asami was 18 when the animated series starts off.

>I think the issue is the lack of buildup.
The issue is that there wasn't a focus on love or the rebirth of love like it was for Aang and Katara. It was a running theme throughout the Airbender show with the guru even mentioning about love.
It had a purpose for an ending shot for the show. Korra's ending should be based around Tenzin and Korra's talk and display how Korra helps heal the URN and transition the Earth Kingdom's change. The show was about Korra finding her place in life akin to Zuko's (except Zuko's arc was fantastic and made sense as it was going from antagonist to secondary protagonist.)

>>89012519
The city thing was with avatar state, and people pointed more than once even in LoK how Aang had trouble with earthbending. Zuko also said Aang wasnt prepared to face Ozai with his firebending. It is also notable that the lightning redirecting isnt particularly difficult, and can be taught in one day, so Aang isnt really doing anything in master level.

>>89012606
Almost sure Korra starts at 16, no? 17 in S02 after months, and then there is the 3 years gap.

>>89012612
>and people pointed more than once even in LoK how Aang had trouble with earthbending
Tenzin mentions it to Korra how Aang had a block in earthbending. A block that he overcame in an afternoon.
It was meant to reassure Korra that her difficulty in airbending could be overcome.

>>89001898
>opposites attract

When will this meme die? Korra and Kuvira would have a rocky, passionate, powerstruggle relationship that would be adorable.

>>89012717
>A block that he overcame in an afternoon
according to his own teacher, he never really manage to overcome that 'block'. She said he still needed 'a lot of work' with his earthbending by the end of the show.

>>89012929
And according to Korra's own teachers, Korra passed the exams that considered her a master to move onto the next element. Yet all of /co/, reddit, YouTube, tumblr, and forums will tell you that Korra is a novice compared to the people she surrounds herself with in the show.

We see Aang excel in bending all the elements except for fire as he didn't get a chance to use it as much.

>>89013263
>Korra passed the exams that considered her a master
I think you're mistaken the 'mastered' as in 'being in control of the element'' as the 'master' of 'actually being the master on that element'.

There is a difference between a random FN soldier that completed his training, and a master like Iroh even if both "mastered" the element.

>>88994364
More like I'm mad about the shitty writing for 3.2 seasons. The finale was just proof positive of all I was saying.

She was the one that tried to get back with Mako after he was basically fucking Korra while they were dating and the one that suddenly decided that she was gay for the girl that stole her boyfriend twice.

>>88994364
No, just disappointed that no tongue was used.

>>89015249
I never said she was an interesting character but seeing the shit Korra and Mako did I do feel a bit sorry for her. The whole gay thing was just shoved in for shock factor.

There is a little. His friendship with Grindelwald was suspect. Their arms were draped "immoderately" around each other's shoulders, and Dumbledore was so impatient that he wrote letters to Grindelwald even though he was living next door.

The reason people say that is because it was the last shit they did near the end of the series. There is still a bunch of shit that was wrong with the series but that was probably the final straw.

There was. But if you were expecting sex or a makeout session or something you were mistaken.

There's lots of set-up for them to decide to start dating. They become good friends in Book 3. Starting with the end of the Book 3 finale they're close friends. They grow closer by communicating with each other during the timeskip while Korra heals. They're very close friends for most of Book 4, and then the Book 4 finale is them deciding to go on a first date and see what happens.

>>88994485
>>88997620
>>88997901
Dumby being gay actually makes sense and you could see that it was planned before the last book even started being written, maybe even as far as that Dumbledore card Harry gets in book 1, which already mentions Grindenwald.

>>89018101
Korra being bi on the other hand was absolutely retarded.

>>89018057
So yeah they're close friends. But that all it is, there is no going beyond that to imply a romantic interest is emerging. At no point in time does Korra or Asami express anything resembling gaining and understanding or confusion about how they feel about the other. Nothing indicates they have any interest in dating or even to try dating each other. Even the very ending itself is enormously ambigous to the point that you could deny it entirely should you need to.

So yeah, they friends, even good friends, but nothing goes beyond that. And friendship is not the same as romantic relationships atleast not in media.

>>89018057
They grew closer as friends there was no hint at them being romantic with each other. If an author has to out right state it then they did a shit job at showing it. I know you guys don't have many friends but not every sort of interaction with the same sex is gay.

>>89018159
>. But that all it is, there is no going beyond that to imply a romantic interest is emerging
There is. They're really close friends and Asami lashing out at Korra when they reunite in Book 4 when Korra asks if she's sure she can trust her father is an indication of how close they'd gotten.

>Korra or Asami express anything resembling gaining and understanding or confusion about how they feel about the other.
What confusion is there? They have feelings for each other that seem to be a little more than just friends so they go off on a date.

>Nothing indicates they have any interest in dating or even to try dating each other.
Then why is Korra so open to going on a vacation alone with Asami?

>Even the very ending itself is enormously ambigous to the point that you could deny it entirely should you need to.
It isn't though. They clearly decide to go off together on some sort of date.

>>89018179
>They grew closer as friends there was no hint at them being romantic with each other.
Because they just decided to go on a first date. They're good friends and they clearly care about each other a lot.

> If an author has to out right state it then they did a shit job at showing it.
Author only confirmed what was already pretty obvious based on the development of their friendship and their closeness.

The signs of them starting a relationship are all there. There's a guy who watched TLOK for the first time and who repeatedly joked about how Korrasami would never happen that was able to pick up on these signs. But even up to the finale he still joked that it wouldn't happen.

I like the Turtleduck pic that Bryan drew later

>>89018440
It was not obvious at all. All they did was wanted to hang out without boys because of tiring it was. Girls already do this without it leading it to dating. I get that you wanted to have this happen but to pretend it was all set up from the get go is bullshit. You have a better chance of proving Bolin had sex with Varrick.

>>89016164
>they were introduced in S01
You do realize that doesnt change or conflict with what i said. If you want extra info: the giant mecha should collapse on itself from the get-go because platinum is not supposed to be used to build anything.

>mechas arent the only technology we don't have even today
You're talking about the spirit vine death ray?

>>89018440
Asami lashing out because she is confused about her feelings for her father is not an indication of attraction to Korra. Besides it was in a public place with Mako aswell not really an intimate situation.

>What confusion is there?
The confusion about why they are having feelings for their own sex? for their friend? Why so suddenly? there's plenty of things to be confused about that are not addressed in any way.

> vacation alone with Asami
Why is that strange? People go on roadtrips with their friends all the time. Some go on vacations with their best friend. It's not weird that Korra is willing to relax with a friend. What is weird is that both of them want to relax at that time but that is a different discussion.

>They clearly decide to go off together on some sort of date.
Vacation yes, date no. The music and scene makes it ambigous, but if it was recieved poorly Bryke could easily have claimed it was just shipping Goggles and it would have meant nothing.

You can call it a date and a romantic relationship all you want but the attraction component of a romantic relationship is completely missing from LoK.

>>89016473
>one is just a big drill
>the other is futuristic bullshit
Wat?

>>89018057
Friendship is not set-up to romance. If that was true, Korra ending with Tenzin would make sense

>using time skip
You do realize Asami is not the only person she communicated with, right?
Tenzin actually moved his ass to see her

>>89018440
>Asami lashing out at Korra when they reunite in Book 4
she also lashes out with Mako

>Korra asks if she's sure she can trust her father is an indication of how close they'd gotten
what?

>They have feelings for each other that seem to be a little more than just friends
where are those 'feelings' expressed?

>why is Korra so open to going on a vacation alone with Asami
you're using the last 20 seconds of show, people are complaining there was no buildup to exactly that

>>89016859
They are fairly advanced in ATLA to the point of having ships working on coal, so i don't think tanks (or how they escalated a mountain) are a problem

>>88995352
>Excited looking Bolin
>Bending Bros in cop uniform
>Spirit Wilds shenanigans
Everytime I think I'm out, this universe keeps pulling me back in.
I'll read it if they give my man Bolin something to do.

>>88995705
SU's hiatus will never end. Leak was ace tho.

>>88998030
Don't talk shit about Appa you chucklefuck!

>>89019102
Spirit wilds? It's about a them park tychoon sperging out the spirits, and gangs somehow.

Oh yeah and the most important plot point, korrasami..

>>89007397
You'd be surprised at the proportion of gay men who tried it with a chick first because that's what they were told they were s'posed to do.

Hell, I knew a couple that started families already before it hit them what had been wrong the whole time.

I got a lotta anecdotal evidence, personal acquaintances, but that's not worth much to a stranger, just chalk it up to experience.

>>89001498
The one good thing that the comics did was actually create a rebel faction that DID want Ozai back!
They end up being jobbers cos there's not much else you can do with a plot thread like that.

>>89009394
>The story of Oma and Shu being the first earthbenders (although it is a legend)
You literally just answered your own question. It is a LEGEND. The Gaang aren't hearing the most accurate version of events, just the very tail end of a 10,000 year long game of telephone. Neither story inherently contradicts one another.

>>89019265
Of course some of them end doing it for a while but then go back to some guy. My cousin even did that shit and she was a cunt.

>>89019440
Remember when Anne Heche dated Ellen Degeneres (sp?)?

>>88995352
Hopefully they focus on other characters then the main cast since none of them are likable at all.

>>89019517
Why do you care about the series if you don't like the main characters?

>>89019569
Its really not that hard to like a show for more then just the main cast. I did have hopes for Korra and the rest of the gang but they ended up being little shits. The only thing I enjoy now are the side characters and anything that connects with the first.

>>88994364
As somebody who only watched the show passingly when it was on anyway, my dick is thankful for all the lesbian porn this caused.

>>89018624
>You're talking about the spirit vine death ray?
Nope, talking about these>>89016859
>>89017007

>>89018655
They're both ridiculously large machines that made little sense to build

>>89018741
>Friendship is not set-up to romance.
It certainly can be.

>>89018741
>You do realize Asami is not the only person she communicated with, right?
>Tenzin actually moved his ass to see her
Tenzin only talked with her once she'd regained the ability to walk.

Asami was the only one of her friends she closely confided in

>>89019729
>Its really not that hard to like a show for more then just the main cast

It is for me. They're the ones you spend the most time with, so if I don't like the main characters I'm probably not going to like the show. I did at least like Korra, and Bolin was okay. The others I didn't hate but was kind of ambivalent toward.

>>89019842
I liked the show just not the ending when it went to shit. Bolin and Asami to a lesser extent don't bother me as much. As for Korra and Mako they are both terrible. I highly doubt they will end the whole Avatar series so they will probably do another time skip with Korra gone and new one showing up.

>>88994406
>>88994485

But they were correct.

Be honest: if Asami was male, you'd think season four was building up to something

>>88997648

Except animation takes months to make. How the fuck did you expect Bryke to be able to pull that off?

>>89019989
So that makes Korra male and still wouldn't make much sense regardless. Given Korra's track record she will still end up having some relationship issues with Asami while at some point breaking up. They are still young so there is plenty of time to make mistakes. Of course Bryke could pussy foot around it whole subject putting a bad taste in everyone's mouth.

>>89009061
>>89008837

Lmao you're pretty delusional

Stay salty

seriously though mako's "what's going on between you two?" line when he found out about the secret letters made it pretty obvious

>>89019757
>talking about these
the ones that are completely consistent with the setting? they had coal ships already

>They're both ridiculously large machines that made little sense to build
Both made sense to build, as they give a good advantage over the enemy while solving a main problem; the wall, and how to carry the giant laser. The issue is that a drill works in-setting and a giant bipedal mecha doesn't.

>>89019757
>It certainly can be
So Gohan should be in love with piccolo? Goku ending up with Vegeta makes sense? Aang kissing Sokka in the end of ATLA makes sense to you?

>Tenzin only talked with her once she'd regained the ability to walk
regaining the ability to walk is hardly the end of her treatment, it's only the first step. And again, Asami didn't bother to go there see Korra while Tenzin did. If you want someone that cares for Korra much more than Asami, get Katara for example, the person she actually spent all her life with (Korra knows Asami for about 6 months and 3 weeks if you don't count letters; only 3 weeks if you don't count the time she was banging Mako)

Hell, Korra ending with her father would make more sense.

>>89019989
>if Asami was male, you'd think season four was building up to something
I would think that it was building up for Korra to be with Mako, considering she passed some time with him as well.

>>89019989
Well, I'd be thinking that she is a pathetic beta orbiter.

>>89019989
No. not at all. We had similar scenes with Bolin and it meant nothing to anyone.

>>89020339
He found out about the letters AFTER asking what's going on. The letters was what's going on.

>>89020473
Honestly Bolin and Korra had the best chemistry if we are going by how friends = romance. Of course I know every /u/ shipper would shoot it down despite it applying here.

>>89020497
well same difference. that whole letter thing had no purpose except shipperfuel.

>>89020577
>that whole letter thing had no purpose except shipperfuel
anything can be shipperfuel. Shippers literally don't care.

>>89020596
Yeah, otherwise Zutara wouldn't exist.

Difference is that bryke back then went with where the writing was headed rather than pandering to a popular crackship

>>89020596
Yeah it was kind of obvious just looking at this thread. They will ignore all issues just so their beloved ship is real no matter ham fisted it was shoved in.

>>89020525
Oh yeah, but mostly because of their one actual date than anything else Bolin did with Korra. Ofcourse he also let his attraction to her be clear and known to the audience and other characters.

>>89020692
you just wanted them to pander to you instead

I forget, did Bolin get cutie Opal?

>>89021981
Yes, but she turned kinda bitchy in season 4.

>>89021981
no he got with jinora

>>89019404
I agree there is no inherent contradiction with lion turtles and the origin stories presented in Korra, but it does make them less significant.

Basically I preferred having the origins of bending stay as legendary stories.

>>89022196
Stop being a pedophiles.

>>89022383
I think what you mean is that it counts as exposition and still should have some truth in it; it's not like they will purposefully put false information in the show.

>>88994364
Yes, but to be fair i already found the show incredibly shitty in the very moment she broke trough the fucking all bending 3 out of 4 elements as a kid.

>>89022431
Fuck off autist

>>89022467
This too. It's obvious that they didn't 'know' lion turtles were going to be the origin of bending until they wrote Beginnings.

Even Aaron Ehasz said the origin of the Avatar was originally going to be very different.

Mako and Bolin actually went on dates and shit with korra. Asami acted as a friend way more than a wanna be gf.

>but hair complimenting
Women do that shit all the time. They even hold hands and call each other girlfriends.

>>89022787
>actually went on dates and shit
yeah and this was like first date with asami

for god's sake can you stop acting like they were fucking scissoring in the finale or something?

>>89015533

>something awesome happens
>oh no this is dumb

It's a fucking cartoon for children. Stop taking it too seriously and you might enjoy it.

>>89023194
It wasn't a "first date" imagery in that scene. It was along the lines of Atlas happy ever after ending, they might aswell have gotten married in that scene. The "first date" excuse is only something people came up with in an attempt to make Korrasami look less horribly executed than it is.

>>89023194
If their relationship was such a non-entity, then why end the series with them together?

I understand that they were just starting their relationship or whatever, but if you're gonna have romance, go all the way or not at all.

>>89023311
>they might aswell have gotten married in that scene.

I agree Korrasami was horribly executed, but they were clearly just starting a romantic relationship.

>>89023351
Which mirrored the wedding scene only minutes earlier, and the ending of Atla which was a happy ever after ending. They might just have technicly started the relationship, but the imagery and scene implied that this was something special that they had waited a long time for. A sortoff long term payoff instead of a one-time fling or let's see how this goes deal.

>>89023229
>It's a fucking cartoon for children. Stop taking it too seriously and you might enjoy it.

This could apply to a lot of things here.

>>89023194
>yeah and this was like first date with asami


are you daft man? No ones arguing they aren't gay we're arguing it was done poorly.

>>89023229
That doesn't hold much value here.

>>89023405
Ah I get ya now.

It was definitely the wrong note to end on. They could've kept the conversation between them on the steps and then ended with all of the group together, leaving it more open to interpretation.

>>89023522
Would have been better yeah. Would still be weird to insist on Korrasami later though.

Just a reminder this is the only gay relationship /co/ had issues with while they don't give a fuck about SU and other stuff.

>>89023567
Meh, let them have their headcanons. That way everyone is happy.

>>89023633
They can have their headcanon, the problem is, i assume, that the comics would still insist on Korrasami. In this hypothetical situation.

I mean Korrasami wasn't a problem until Bryke drank the cool aid and put it in.

>>89023714
Oh fuck I forgot about the comics.

I'm gonna wait to see how they're depicted first.

>>89023714
>, i assume, that the comics would still insist on Korrasami

oh they will

>>89023890
Yeah i know. It will be the focus actually, atleast for the first issue. It'll just continue the OOC moment of the ending. Will probably rewrite Korra, and make a more fan-related Asami to not piss off too many "fans".

But i was assuming for the hypothetical situation where the show ended before they went on vacation.

>>89023475
the guy was complaining that asami didn't go on dates with korra like mako.

>>89023975
Well they haven't been on a date, and the ending isn't a date either. It is a possible future date, but we don't see if it actually happens or if it is another friendly trip that "leads" to more later on.

With this review, I have all the closure I need with this terrible series.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmKaQqinWKY

>>89016164
>Except for the fact that mechas were introduced in Season 1 and reintroduced in an advanced version in Season 4.
The giant robot didn't fit the aestetics of the previous mechas though which were decidedly more steampunk. That thing looked like it came straight out of fucking Evangelion. The Drill fit the universe better because it wasn't that much of a stretch compared to the stuff before it and it actually looked like it was made by the same people that made the Fire Nation tanks and other doodads.
