You're not still mad about this are you?

Wasn't mad in the first place.
Saw it coming when she was in the hospital and only wrote back to Asami.
It was a lackluster ending to a lackluster series. Certainly nothing to get upset about, but very forgettable.
If it wasn't for these threads I'd probably forget the show actually happened.

>>91150328
That was dumb, but season 2 is why I'm still mad.

>>91150328

Mad that their relationship was so shitty Bryke had to confirm it on Twitter or else there would be flame wars for the rest of eternity. Mad that they claimed they were being """progressive""" when they wouldn't even show a fucking kiss. Mad that we're supposed to give a shit that they're a lesbian couple when we have no idea what that means in-universe. Mad that the first six pages of the new comic are them jumping around and fighting a rock monster instead of any actual content.

Happy that the Korrasami yuri train has no brakes

>>91151868
I'd be happier if Asami didn't look like a man.

>>91150328

Asami is plot device mary sue.

It is like mary sue for the plot,

Not mad, but anyone, including Bryke that says this has been breadcrumbed and totally not thrown out of buttfuck nowhere is full of shit.

>>91150450
Yeah I was positive this was going to happen after the hair blush incident. But then they didn't develop it at all, so I just forgot about it. Then when it actually did happen I just laughed at how pointless and stupid it was.

To my understanding: Queer, Intersex, Asexual

I'm only like 80% sure of that so dont quote me on it.

I'm not mad that they're dyking out, but slightly annoyed that my man Mako not only didn't get either of his girls, but that his "happy ending" was getting friendzoned.

Sounds like something you should get checked out.

>>91153709

Only mad that bryke didn't wanna admit they sucked at writing. They should have just left it at "yes they're gay" and not " you should rewatch without a hetero lens"

>>91153728
yea looks like it

>>91150328
they really didn't develop anything at all, i mean you get hints when Korra is sending letters to her and is seen more connected to her than to Mako and BALLIN! but they never expanded on it

also, that last scene merited a fucking kiss god fucking dammit

>>91153843
>didn't develop anything at all
>last scene merited a kiss

What?

>>91153880


it seemed like the scene was aiming for that and it would have payed off, I still stand on my belief that they didn't explore their relationship but really, the entire last scene is orchestrated to look like they are about to kiss

maybe have them talk about them on their way to the portal or something

>>91153929
The last scene was way too much as it was. They should've ended it with the whole group together, and left Korrasami as a subtle implication.

I'm just mad they didn't have the balls to genuinely build to this

>>91154117
was it really implied up to that point? that's the thing, she sending her letters only to her and having that last chat wasn't enough

>>91151868
>Bryke had to confirm it on Twitter
I know /co/ isn't a hivemind, but people always go >muh death of the author when it comes to things confirmed by word of god that they don't agree with, yet they don't seem to do it with KOrra.

>>91154606
I was practically certain that there was implied romantic tension between them during the reunion episode. Unlike most people here, I believe Bryke when they said that they wanted to pair them up since book 3. But they didn't put in the work to end on the note they did. I would have no issue if they had left it at their talk on the steps, which already implied they had feelings for each other. Trying to make it into a big moment at the very end wasn't deserved, and cheapened it quite honestly.

>>91150328
Im way more angry about the shit story telling. Thats one small fart in a sewer of bad ideas

>>91150328
In the grand scheme of bullshit in Korra, it's actually near the bottom of the list.

Things I'm still mad about
>Amon is a waterbender
>Korra contemplating suicide because she lost 3 of her 4 super powers
>too much romance and none of it done well
>taking a funny Varrick one-liner and running it into the fucking ground
>Varrick being literally Wasted Potential: The Character
>Lion Turtles giving people bending
>EMBODIMENT OF EVIL BEATEN BY FRIENDSHIP
>Jesus Jinora
>lava/metalbending just being super powers that you just fucking level up

There are more, but the more time I spend thinking about it, the angrier I get.

>>91151868
>they wouldn't even show a fucking kiss.
you realize nick cut that, not bryke.

>>91155014
Wait, is that confirmed or just speculation? Ending on a kiss would've been horrible.

>>91155055
there's a reason they immediately(and I mean within minutes) posted the actual final shot on their tumblr/twitter.

>>91153550

Really? I wasn't.

In fact I wanted it to happen.

Didn't watch, was the romance actually built up or it was just "look at us, we are progressive" out of nowhere kind of shit?

>>91150328
I never got mad cause I never got why everyone INSTANTLY assumed lesbian.

It's like seeing Chris Farley and David Spade going off together at the end of some movie and going "WOAH WAIT DID THEY MAKE THEM GAY AT THE END?"
Then again in this day and age it's possible there's enough fangirls to try and make them gay too.

>>91155220
They're distance kissing in order to not catch each others' cooties.

I'm not mad, just disappointed. Which describes Korra in a nutshell.

>>91155312
They became a lot closer as friends in season 3, and there were little hints and implications that maybe their feelings weren't strictly platonic in season 4. Them starting a romantic relationship is believable enough, but the way is was handled at the end was very much "look at us, we are progressive." Bryke outright said that if you didn't see it you were watching with a "hetero lens." It came across as pandering and self-congratulatory.

>>91150328
Whats with all the Korra threads today?

>>91150328
I'm happy about it. Wish it could have been done a lot better and more clearly, wish the whole show could have been done better. But I'm glad the pairing is canon.

Also reminder that if you think it was done as a cynical, last minute attempt to deflect criticism you're delusional.

>>91155672
It's been revived for a sequel series, taking place a few years after the end of the original.
Set to air in early 2018.

>>91154875

I'm mad they had to tweet about it at all. I'm okay with the fact that they're a couple, I'm butt-hurt at HOW it happened.

>>91155312
it seemed like they became closer friends than lovers honestly

>>91155732
I'm surprised that they decided to make another one since Korra didn't do that well. Was Ehasz confirmed to be coming back or was that just a rumour?

>>91155732
Wait when?

Have a link for the announcement?

>>91155786
That's silly. Girls can't be friends unless they're gay for each other.

>>91152725
Asami's not perfect, she just lacks enough characterization to exhibit flaws or personality traits beyond "nice and well meaning," so she just seems perfect in comparison to the retards around her.

No I had like no investment in this series.

I didn't like the pilot episodes so I didn't watch the rest. I got the gist of it through cultural osmosis and feel as though I made the right choice.

>>91154172
If you are a person that gives an actual shit about "representation" than this would be your reason. Not "Well she watched her dad die and they made fun of Mako so they obviously want to scissor in the astral plane"

>>91155786
I interpreted it that they started to develop romantic feelings, but your interpretation is completely legitimate. Bryke coming out and saying "nope, it's definitely canon or you're wearing hetero lens" is insulting.

>>91155933
>>91155955
Maybe they just wanted more r34 of them to wank to.

It was completely obvious to anyone with even a half-working gaydar.

>>91150592
It's okay. Season 2 effectively made Korra non-canon. So in a way, it was actually the best season.

>>91153594
Don't worry Mako ends up with Zuko's Granddaughter later in life so it's all good.

>>91156421
Then he's got perfect taste.

>>91152156
The problem is that most of the evidence was in season 3 but we didn't get the payoff until the very end of the series. Go back and watch season 3 with the pair in mind and the hints will probably be more noticeable.

>>91155014

Korrasami is LoK fanfic. The comics had the potential to be bearable/good until Korrasami was "confirmed" since that stole the focus of the show/comics.

I was never really mad at it. I just thought it was stupid. It was a desperate hail mary trying to grasp at relevance after a completely forgettable series. Sadly it worked. I saw plenty of people that before the last episode felt that the series wasn't very good do a 180 and sing it's praises after the fact. At least we got some good porn out of it though.

Aren't they?

You obviously put a lot of importance on the sexual orientation of a character. She's still fundamentally the same character she was in season one, it didn't change her personality at all. In fact, I think Korra being bisexual or even lesbian is very believable.

>>91158093

Intersex is when someone is born with both male and female genitalia in part or in full.

There was a lot of subtext hinting more than friendship in season 4 in particular. Even just the conversation just before heading off to the spirit world.

You are free to make your interpretation, but the intent was clear, especially in hindsight.

>>91158159
She's barely the same character at the end of book 4 compared to book 3. And the sexuality change is a major one, up until the very end Korra was aggresivly straight and it was a very important plot element in book 1 and 2. Her suddenly being bisexual or lesbian goes completely contrary to her characterization in previous seasons and is in no way believable.

Korrasami is literally wishful thinking of "representaion" progressives, and has no place or relevance to LoKs story.

>>91152791
>To my understanding: Queer, Intersex, AsexualI'm only like 80% sure of that so dont quote me on it.

>>91158159
I think Asami being a lesbian is pretty believable. No straight woman has such terrible taste in men that she would date Mako twice.

As for Korra? I'll chalk it up to a rookie mistake. As for why Korra gets together with Asami: Mix of guilty conscious, sympathy and inability to say No to friends were a key factor in pushing her there.
I'm pretty sure she wouldn't date any other woman than Asami.

>>91150450
I had a discussion with a friend today.
>"Watch Samurai Jack, it's probably one of the most decent western cartoons from this decade so far"
>"How can you say that when Korra exists?"

>>91158253
Asami is believable, primarily because it would be a tangible character trait. But Korra is different since we know more about her and her feelings for other people.

>>91158184
Okay, maybe lesbian is pushing it, but definitely bisexual. Simply for the fact that I don't see why not. There's nothing about her character that excludes that as a possibility.

It's not like she was like, say, a notorious womaniser who turned out to be gay.

>>91158282
>"How can you say that when Korra exists?"

I'm on the edge of my seat, how did you respond to that?

>>91158224
>up until the very end Korra was aggresivly straight and it was a very important plot element in book 1 and 2. Her suddenly being bisexual or lesbian goes completely contrary to her characterization in previous seasons and is in no way believable

Having a crush on one guy does not make her "aggressively straight". It would be one thing if she was guy crazy, had more than one boyfriend and constantly talked about and flirted with guys. That could count as "aggressive". As it is, she had one terrible relationship with a guy, and then realized she would rather date a girl.

>>91158236
>should
Come on, it can be interpreted many ways. I for one thought there was clear romantic tension in season 4. Subtext is a thing, even though /co/ often pretends it isn't.

>>91153212
Female characters like Korra usually die, are mistaken for men, or become dykes. Lara Croft became bisexual for similar reasons.

I hated every ship in the series, and was glad that shitty love triangle was buried in S3, so the characters could move on from this badly written romance. Except the ending retroactively put it back in.

Besides turning Korra into a stereotypical butch lesbian, they neutered Asami's character by giving her role as genius engineer to Varrick, and input with the plan in the finale to Hiroshi. Her character never went anywhere beyond clingy jealous girlfriend.

Id have preferred a platonic group vacation at the end so they could at least pretend there was some semblance of friendship. Korra doesn't have a final good bye with Bolin, Asami never interacted with him at all in S4, after neither speaking to Mako or Bolin for 3 years.

There was a lot of shit wrong with S4, last minute lesbians was just a cherry on a shit sundae.

>>91158398
Makorra was agressively pushed into the front of the story in book 1 and 2. She goes out of her way to get with him, it is in fact a major complaint of most people.

You're also completely wrong on her realising anything regarding women. One of the only realisations she has in the series is that Her and Mako don't work as a couple, but that's all as far as romance goes.

She was straight from the start, her soul mate was pushed as being Mako, they kept that even in Book 2s ending. And she never once doubted her feelings towards men or women. That is pretty agressive.

>>91158478
None of that implies exclusive attraction to one gender.

>>91158748
Yes it does. It implies attractions to men. There is no implication of attraction to women though.

>>91150328
I'm always mad about wasted potential, and LoK had about two-and-a-half seasons of wasted potential. The ass-pull of a finale was merely emblematic of the overall lazy writing.

>>91158778
Attraction to men does not necessarily imply a lack of attraction to women. Her bisexuality wasn't important to the story in seasons 1-2, so there's no reason to focus on that aspect of her character (not that I'm implying Bryke planned for her to be bi from the start).

>>91155732
god please no

I could not give less of a shit about this series. I loved Avatar TLA so I was of course excited to hear a new series was coming.
And I watched it for 4 episodes and it was. Just. So. Meh. I have no idea how they could make it so droll as they did, but they sure managed it. Felt like a shallow imitation of the original that utterly failed to imitate anything that made the original good.

So no. I'm not mad. Just disappointed they retroactively shit on a decent series that already did a decent job of shitting on itself with the last season anyways.
But I could look past the flaws of Book of Fire and it's low moments because of all the good stuff that came before, and even with it being weaker it still had great scenes and episodes throughout.

LoK just had nothing going for it from the get go.

yet

>>91158820
Lack of attraction to women implies lack of attraction to women though. The complete lack of focus on her "bisexual side" and the agressive push of her attraction to men (mako) shows that she is straight.

Her ending up being bi is a change to her character. There not really any way to debate that.

Well there is, but given you said that, I guess there's no point in trying.

>>91158906
Dubmledore is irrelevant here, his sexuality was never relevant to his character and it wasn't paraded in the books/movies.

Korra is different, her sexuality was a plot point in half the show. It's important to understand the way she acts. Changing that changes the character.

You can't really debate wether or not Korra is to be percieved straight in books 1 and 2 as that is all we're told. You can't conclude she is bisexual with no evidence to back that up. And since any "evidence" of that only happens in book 4 it would suggest it was a change that happened after book 2 atleast.

>>91159046
The thing is that your interpretation hinges on a full on reveal of her being bisexual.
And I'm sorry to say that that only happened in your head.
After all, we only got confirmation that the ending is supposed to be interpreted as romantic from the creators.
So if anything, her having some kind of revelation about her own sexuality is only now just happening at the end there.
I'm pretty sure the comics will be where Korra actually develops sexually.
All they did at the end of the series was tease the possibility.

>>91159046
Her being bisexual doesn't change her character one iota.

>You can't really debate wether or not Korra is to be percieved straight in books 1 and 2 as that is all we're told.
Whether she is straight or bisexual is irrelevant. Can she not still be bisexual and attracted to Mako? It doesn't change the events of those seasons.

>You can't conclude she is bisexual with no evidence to back that up.
Of course not. But you can't conclude with absolute certainty that she is straight either.

>And since any "evidence" of that only happens in book 4 it would suggest it was a change that happened after book 2 atleast.
No it doesn't. Her bisexuality became relevant to the plot because she developed feelings for Asami.

Look, I don't think the writers intended for her to be bisexual in seasons 1 and 2, but judging solely from the canon material, there is nothing contradictory with her being bisexual during the events of the those seasons.

>>91159162
I'll just add that it's possible Korra wasn't even aware that she was bisexual until she developed feelings for Asami. Either way, it doesn't contradict her prior characterisation.

Wow, I never thought I'd defend Korra before.

>>91159157
My interpretation is that Korra was straight, and that it was changed at the very end. My interpretation hinges on the evidence that Korra is into men from book 1 and 2, and that by the end of book 4 her sexuality is supposed to be interpreted differently despite a lack of evidence.

The comics will keep Korra as she is in book 4 and have her be submissive to Asami. Relationship will probably be taken for granted and not developed very much. Atleast that's my assumption.

>>91159162
Except she is acting completely differently towards others after "becoming bisexual". She is a lot more submissive and apologizing towards Asami and others (except mako) compared to her earlier depiction even in book 3.

She could have been bisexual, but we have no reason to think that to be the case. We know she was straight however, and we know she wasn't attracted to any women she met.

I can only conclude on what we have. I'm not going to assume she is bisexual when she show tells me she is straight.

Her bisexuality was never relevant to the plot. Her straightness was.

If they intended her to be straight in the beginning and she ended up being bisexual at the end of the series after being portrayed as straight, that is a clear change.

>>91159205
Since we don't see her developing any feelings we can't say she ever was came to any realisation of anything. It contradicts her characterization because she was characterized as a straight character first, then bisexual at the end.

>>91159294
>Her bisexuality was never relevant to the plot

Okay, so from reading this thread, Korra was attracted to Mako in S1 & 2, and began developing her friendship/romance in S3 & 4, correct? So if Korra is bisexual (ie. liking a guy and a girl), how does that contradict her character? She liked a guy, now she likes a girl. Of course that'd happen, because she's bi.

her friendship/romance with Asami in S3 & 4*

>>91159080
To be honest, I don't even think the mech was that bad.

It was a totally retarded idea, don't get me wrong, but the execution of it was actually decent.

>>91150328
it involves a brown person, women, and gays, of course /co/ is still mad about it you silly billy.

>>91159323
She was straight in book 1 and 2, she was active in pursuing her love interest, she didn't kowtow to him ever.

In book 4 she is supposedly bisexual (first contradiction) and she is submissive, apolgizing and coddling towards asami. The opposite of her reaction towards Mako.

Her character is established early on, and in book 4 she deviates heavily from that. That can be explained somewhat by her ptsd, but by the time she meets Asami she should be cured from that, but still acts contradictory to her established character.

>>91150328
You know I never got around to watching Korra and I'm no lib or SJW but are you guys really flipping tables over at the last second they revealed she was gay or some shit?

They do that a lot in these shows. They can't have an openly gay character for various censor reasons (everything from they don't want to be protested, Nick doesn't and so doesn't allow it, and China will just straight up censor their ass in the international market, ect) so they keep it kind of tongue in cheek, only hinted at subtly, and then in the last episode fuck it what will they do to us now? they have the dudes finally kiss or make it very clear they sleep in the same bedroom or some shit.

Now I don't know if 'OMG SHE IS THE GAY?!?!?! FUCK YOU!!!!!' really is the crux of you guys complaints but it really is coming off that way. And if it was so subtle you didn't realize till bitches was about to smooch in the last frame that's hardly in your face social justicing.

>>91159294
>Except she is acting completely differently towards others after "becoming bisexual". She is a lot more submissive and apologizing towards Asami and others (except mako) compared to her earlier depiction even in book 3.
Correlation is not causation. She became less of a bitch because she grew up, not because she "became bisexual." You're making a really weird connection here.

>She could have been bisexual, but we have no reason to think that to be the case.
>I can only conclude on what we have. I'm not going to assume she is bisexual when she show tells me she is straight.
I agree completely. But it does not exclude the possibility that she is bi.

>Her bisexuality was never relevant to the plot. Her straightness was.
It was so subtle and pointless it may as well not even have existed, but it was still there.

>If they intended her to be straight in the beginning and she ended up being bisexual at the end of the series after being portrayed as straight, that is a clear change.
No, it isn't. A change in writing intent sure, but not a change in character. The character exists separately from the creators. The reason I brought up Dumbledore was only to illustrate a point. You could claim that he is straight and you'd be just as correct as J.K. Rowling.

>characterized as a straight character first
Your entire argument hinges on this weird notion that being bi somehow changes Korra's entire personality. It doesn't. She was interested in Mako, then she was interested in Asami. Bisexual people don't usually have more than one romantic interest at once.

>>91159387
Did they outright say she's straight & only likes guys in S1-2? Because you can claim it was "implied" all you want, but if she's bi & went from loving a guy to loving a girl, that's not a change at all.

>Implying actual lesbians exist

literally all "lesibians" are just straight women desperate for attention

>>91159404
They said about Mako and Korra "they are made for each other".

Besides she wasn't bisexual at all until a last minute scene which only implies something more than friendship.

>>91159425
Please kill yourself.

>>91159425
Same with men, desu.

>>91159430
And shit can & did change. The two didn'tget together and Korra became attracted to someone else. Happens a lot.

>>91159425
Have a (You)

>>91159403
You're basicly agreeing with me, but for some reason won't admit that making Korra Bisexual was a change to her design. You can say her bisexuality was relevant to the plot, but since it is never brought up within the show itself i don't see how it could be. Unlike her straight relationship, which is supposed to make her grow and overcome the bad guy (their words not mine).

I don't understand why the Bi option always has to be considered even when there is no evidence for it. We could also claim that all characters in LoK are Bi, we just haven't seen the evidence yet, and even if it never happens, the possibility is still there. But what is the point?

>>91159443
So you agree she was changed to make her bisexual? Which has the effect of changing her interactions with her love interest?

>>91159425
do you want me to shitpost homestuck

>>91159484
>I don't understand why the Bi option always has to be considered even when there is no evidence for it.
I agree with this sentiment. What I don't agree with is Korra's bisexuality being contradictory with her characterisation in seasons 1 and 2.

>>91159527
Why? She is characterized as straight wouldn't you agree? and she sure isn't the end of book 4.

>>91159499
No, just that she liked a guy then liked a girl. If she's bi, that's pretty reasonable.

>>91159538
>characterized as straight
What does this mean? Bisexual people are interested in men and women.

>>91155312
There were hints at it in Book 4. They could have done a way better job of building it up but people who say there was nothing at all are delusional.

>>91159544
Why would you think she is Bisexual only thinking from a book 1 or 2 perspective?

>Show ended over 2 years ago
>People claim to dislike it, yet still argue about the ending.
Never change, /co/.

I never was

>>91159551
She agressively pursues Men (Mako) but never pay attention to women at all. She doesn't treat both genders as options for relationship.

>>91159555
Accept I'm not only paying attention to half of the show. From the full 4 seasons, she was shown having interest in a guy, then having interest with a girl.

>>91159571
She paid attention to one guy before paying attention to one girl. That's what being bi means. Being interested in both.

>>91150328
I was mad they were acting like they were so fucking brave and progressive for showing a fucking HINT of a homosexual relationship in the last 5 fucking seconds of a show that was going off the air, with characters they had only ever portrayed as heterosexual before then. You want prog-points? Then actually DO SOMETHING progressive. Actually put yourself on the line for progress. I'm not a fan of Steven Universe, but THEY GET THEIR GODDAMN PROG-POINTS because they put relationships that are homosexual (by human standards) front and center. There's a ton of shows being all "look how progressive we are" because for 5 goddamn frames you can see two unnamed background guys kissing in the background. It's bullshit.

>>91159588
Calm down, geek.

>>91159585
It's pretty relevant to look at different sections when determining wether a change was made or not.

Arguably she paid attention to Bolin for a very short while, but the point is her appraoch is entirely different between Mako and Asami. Mainly she has an approach to Mako, but mostly ignores Asami.

>>91159571
>She doesn't treat both genders as options for relationship.
Well we don't know that because she was interested in Mako for the entirety of seasons one and two. There was never a reason to mention Korra being bisexual.

This is what your argument sounds like:
>There was nothing about Sokka that led us to believe he was straight. They never show him pursuing any women. Then they suddenly have him be interested in Suki goes against all prior characterisation. There was no evidence that he was straight in episodes 1-3.

>>91150328

Somewhat saw it as a surprise

>Better start writing to people
>oh uh... Asami always leveled with me better (wait did she?)
>Asami-kun I choose you
>ends with them 'together'

OH OK!

I mean I'm ok with them, they're both hot and hell cute together but I felt like this was waaaay out of the blue. Could have been thanks to the massive gaps I took between episodes but damn.

>>91152791
Q is questioning. as in i'm questioning my sexuality

>>91159633
Kind of like Korra did before she becme A(samisexual)

>>91159603
>Thread about being mad about things
>Someone is mad about something
>"Stop getting so mad"
I enjoy this anger.

>>91159652
Same.
Watching people get mad at cartoons is hilarious.

>>91159633
I'm pretty sure that these days it means queer or gender queer.

>>91159621
We she doesn't pay attention to women before getting with mako, or during her relationship with mako.

In your sokka example, we also don't have any contradictory information, like him being into men.

It's weird because despite what we're shown some people insist that Korra was bi the entire time. They're projecting their wishes onto the show from book 1 forward.

>>91159677

>>91159629

>>91159677
Being into men contradicts being bisexual?

Kuvira killed Korra in the forest.
Everything after that was a dying dream.
Her sexuality will forever remain a mystery.

>>91150328
Mad? No. But the complete loss of respect for the show's creators will last forever.

They knew the show's critical reputation (and thus their legacy) were circling the bowl, so they employed a blatantly transparent ass-pull of a smokescreen by pandering to crack-shippers under the pretense of being "progressive", knowing that by the time the dust cleared, they'd be long gone and the fact that the series ended in controversy, rather than widespread panning, means their names aren't utterly trashed.

>>91159621

>>91159688

Actually don't we have him essentially being bashful and cute with Suki from the getgo? Or at least when she shows the tiniest bit of interest in him in the same episode?

Where as with Korra... from what I remember there's 0 besides the letter writing?

>>91159688
No being into only one gender, contradicts being bisexual.

>>91159684
That's book 4, not book 1 or 2 from where her sexuality was changed. Try to show her being Bisexual in book 1 or 2, hell even book 3 would be a very hard find.

>>91159425
This

>>91159733
You misunderstand my dude. I'm talking the episodes before he meets Suki.

>>91159740

No I mean in the sense I just found the whole thing even in the end to be rather sudden, hell all I can remember is letter=suddenly into Asami.

Am I wrong? (haven't watched it over a year)

>>91159754

Well keep in mind Korra falls for Mako essentially the moment she sees him, same with Sokka and Suki. Even after Korra stops having real feels for Mako she still shows no interest in Asami pre letter.

>>91159436
Teenage girl dating another girl to get boys' attention detected.

>>91159762
You're not wrong. The only implication (other than the ending) is a 2 sec blush like she gave bolin in book 1.

>>91159740
>No being into only one gender
We've been over this. There is nothing to conclusively state that Korra was exclusively interested in men for season one and two. EVEN IF she was, realising that she's also into girls later is not contradictory either.

>>91159776

Everything after 'Turning the Tides' was a semi-fictional account of actual events written by Tenzin to cope with Pema dying during childbirth.

>>91159768
Asami was in a relationship with Mako when she met Korra, and at the time Korra was already interested in Mako.

Not all attraction is instantaneous either.

>>91159783

Except she never even considers another woman remotely attractive when we've seen her go gaga over a boy from the get go and even try to humor another boy when he dots about her.

I mean is your only real argument to "she might not be bi" that: There's no evidence she's not bi!

Kinda reminds me of the whole 'prove god can't exist OHHHH you can't!'

Not him but personally I think Korra COULD have been bi but I don't think she was, I think it was very rushed and very sudden but hey I like the idea of two girls together in fact it was one of my first example of a same sex couple in cartoons.

>>91159802

So you're argument against the feelings towards Asami is that she was in a relationship, with the guy who she knew was in a relationship with Asami later on. Agreed she did have feelings before but she didn't really let that stop her with Mako why would it be the same with Asami?

I get not all attraction is instantaneous but damn it was rather sudden towards the end.

>>91159783
True, but her not realising it, is. The problem is that Korra doesn't develop from "straight" to "bisexual", she is changed from one moment to another.

There nothing to suggest she isn't straight in book 1 or 2 though. And in the same vein as Korrasami, Korra was stated to be destined for a straight relationship with Mako.

>>91159823

Not him but from what I can remember it was:

>Korra suffers near death experience/struggle (can't remember)
>Korra wants to talk to someone she cares about friendship wise about her feels
>declares she can't talk to the boys
>boom suddenly into Asami

>>91159810
I'm an atheist, so I'm fully aware of that argument. But if God almighty himself appeared before me, you bet your ass I'd start believing in him then.

>>91159823
>True, but her not realising it, is. The problem is that Korra doesn't develop from "straight" to "bisexual", she is changed from one moment to another.
I don't see a contradiction in realising that you are also attracted to the same sex. Change is sometimes gradual, and sometimes quick.

>Not him but personally I think Korra COULD have been bi but I don't think she was
I honestly got major romantic vibes at the end of book 3 and throughout book 4. I am not a shipper either, I actually laughed my ass off at the ending because it was so silly. >>91159822

>>91159871

Yeah except we don't get God to come down and say 'yo it was all true' we get 'oh yeah no actually yeah she's bi oh and she is too and yeah spirit realm of vag here we come!'

I'll happily go back and rewatch it but I feel like it was still rushed in the last season.

>>91159866
Nah it's she avoids contact for a while, and responds to Asamis letter(s) until she leaves the south pole at which point she only write her parents to keep up appearences.

I write letter, because we only ever hear the contents of one letter, which is a penpal type letter..

>>91159871
The problem is she doesn't realise it. It is never brought up. It's an off screen change.

I never got any romantic vibes from either of them until they held hand in the finale.

>>91159887
>I'll happily go back and rewatch it but I feel like it was still rushed in the last season.
They made too much of a big deal out of it. Keep in mind they're supposed to be only starting a romantic relationship at the end. Also, I actually hate Korra so I'm finding it quite fun defending it for once.

>>91159900
I can see where you're coming from. If you didn't get romantic vibes then that ending would feel like a complete asspull.

>>91159769
I'm a guy. Denying the existence of lesbians is pure retardation.

>>91153594
>Liking Mako

>>91158870
Nigga I know you're a /pol/tard but cmon I know deep down you know that is a bullshit understanding of sexuality.

>>91160421
No, not people, just lesbians.

It was lazily stuck on the end to earn some progressive points meaning they can go no the show is good we have lesbians. And it worked.

>But there were hints!
By this people mean an incredibly small amount of scenes where under a certain interpretation you could take it to be possibly like each other and that also means more than friends. Even the letters thing is a scene but something in passing.

Asami was barely a character as is, she mostly stood in the background if that as they had literally nothing to do with her. So I find it hard to see Asami gave Korra anything more than oh shit we need this character to do something. You could just as well argue that AsamixBolin is real cause they played Pai Sho, it got more focus that any Korra and Asami scene I can remember.

We are talking about writers who have the subtly of a brick, the magic turtles of plot convenience had more direct set up.

>>91160502
I don't even go to /pol/, and this isn't about how sexualities work IRL. It's a show where to protag was designed to be straight, portrayed as straight and then changed without any portrayal of said change to Bisexual at the last moments of the show.

>>91160796
What exactly is different about a bisexual person to a straight person except for their sexual orientation?

>>91160813
IRL? Nothing.

In the show, it changes her behavior and her interactions with other characters retrospectively. So we're now forced to watch the show differently than before, despite nothing being changed. It's both dishonest by the creators and annoying because it ruins immersion.

>>91150328
i was mad at first bt then pullind a dumbledore became a thing, and dumbledore was a real fucking headscratcher for me
so now its common bullshit, if you ask buzzfeed every character ever is gay anyways

>>91150328
im mostly mad because this is not a happy ending for asami

>>91160831
>In the show, it changes her behavior and her interactions with other characters retrospectively.
umm what? Sure, her behaviour changes over the course of the show, but why are you attributing that to her sexual orientation instead of her character development?

>>91159664
Isn't gender queer when you do both girly and manly things and/or wear both types of clothing? So you're a straight white male who wears skirts and lacy panties, for example. Or you're a girl who wrenches cars so you're genderqueer.

Shit's fucking retarded.

>>91160863
As i've said multiple times in this thread. Her demeanor changes to it's opposite in the season where she is supposed to be bisexual.

As for retrospectively, just look up Korrasami fans, they'll claim she is clearly pining for Asami as soon as she sees her. Even a recently released book 1 extra scene was viewed as build up for Korrasami, despite just being Asami talking a little with Korra.

>>91151868

Which is total bullshit.
Lara Croft was gay as fuck in the Reboot Raider, Square Enix just wouldn't fess up to it.

>>91160885
Yes, and I'm asking why are you attributing that change to her sexual orientation.

>>91150328
i stopped watching after season 1 but my friends didn't so any episode i watched with them convinced me to stay the hell away from that show

as for this I'm indifferent since the only good things to come out korra were the video game & the porn and you don't need much context for porn.

that said taking a fan paring and making it cannon is just bad writing since fans usually don't know what they want most of the time.

>>91160963
Cristal Dynamics is at fault here. SE actually has no qualms about gay stuff in their games. They approved of Life is Strange knowing the game would go gay. In fact they were the only publisher that wanted Max to remain a girl whereas others wanted her to be turned male.
Simone and Pratchett went on record that they wanted them to become a couple but the devs blocked them because they want absolutely no romance for Lara.

>>91160965
Because it's the only thing that was a permanent change/impact on her.

I don't see what else it could be.

>>91161031
Her character development in season 2?

>>91161049
How would that make her bisexual? Or different from her book 3 portrayal?

>>91161021
Man, what bullshit. If you're going to try and ground Lara Croft in a more "real" setting, let her have a fucking libido.
Could have at least kept Sam on as a recurring character instead of putting her on a bus completely.

>>91161062
It didn't "make" her bisexual. I'm saying the development she went through in season 2 matured her. She grew up and became more confident in herself. That explains why she's less brash and headstrong in season 3, not her sexuality. Don't be daft.

>>91161049
what character development

>>91161111
Nice quads. The character development in Korra was garbage, so don't get me wrong here, but she does become more self-assured at the end of season 2.

>>91152689
It's what happens when an artist with too much creative power waifus one of his design

>>91161107
How would any of that have any impact on her sexuality is what im asking. She wasn't bi to begin with, and nothing changed her view on that.

Besides im not talking book 3, im talking book 4 where she is radically different from her book 3 self even after getting healed by Toph. She never returned to anything resembling her book 3 self.

So the point is that she is very different in book 4 from the other books with no explanation for why she stays that way. And then it turns out that she is supposedly bisexual, and it just so happens that she is the most out of character when interacting with her new love interest.

>>91161083
Well, maybe that new movie they are making will feature some hot brit on half-nip action.

I think they also wrote her out of the games because they didn't want to pay her voice actress.

>>91161159
Straight Korra got killed between book 3 and 4 and got replaced with a bi clone. That's the only explanation possible.

>>91161159
>How would any of that have any impact on her sexuality is what im asking.
Zero. Did you read what I just said? She was always bi, even if she didn't know it.

>She never returned to anything resembling her book 3 self.
Do you think that might be because she suffered ptsd, and her life experiences changed her? Of course characters aren't going to stay completely stagnant over the course of a story.

>And then it turns out that she is supposedly bisexual
Well, they were building that up since season 3. We could argue over how their relationship should be interpreted, but I don't really want to. Her being bisexual has nothing to do with her character changing which is the point.

>>91161083
Anon, Lara Croft is a sex symbol, giving her an official love interest would be like when japanese idol get a boyfriend.

>>91161208
Bi-clone is way more sympathetic and slightly less stupid, so I'm okay with that.

>>91161208
Sounds about right desu.

>>91161217
How do you know she was always bi? The show tells you something different.

That's why i said she didn't resemble anything close to her old self. She could have developed from the ptsd and kept the good parts of her old self. But no, she is a different character after getting healed in book 4. As this anon said >>91161208

No they weren't. it was a last minute addition to the show. And it changes the perspective of the entire show, because she is bisexual.

>>91161265
Tying her character development to her sexual orientation is plain silly to be frank. I don't know what else I can say.

>it was a last minute addition to the show.
Okay this is objectively false. Bryke have gone on record saying they planned this since season 3. You can choose not to believe them, but honestly, you'd have to be pretty delusional to think it was just an afterthought after all the hints.

>>91161339
Well it wasn't much character development, they just changed the character and her sexuality at the same time and then pretended it was still the same old character.

And Bryke are clearly lying. You can watch the show and see it isn't there in book 1-3. And even book 4 is pretty much devoid of "hints".
Besides they also went on record saying they didn't put it into the show until halfway through book 4, for fear of being shut down. So yeah they contradict themselves with this shit aswell.

>>91161226
Of all the stupid shit the west adopts from the east...
There have been plenty of Sex symbols with love interests, you dolt. Probably more than without.
Even Lara Croft had them in the live action movies.

And that's not even getting into the fact that there are now two versions of Lara existing simultaneously, with older more cartoonish Lara still popping up in games.

>>91161399
I think Korra's character development was handled terribly too, but I don't get why you're connecting that to her sexuality.

>You can watch the show and see it isn't there in book 1-3.
Books 1-2 yes. Book 3 was them developing a closer friendship. Nothing explicitly or implicitly romantic yet, but the seeds were there.

Bryke afraid of being shut down would suggest that they were planning it, but were having doubts about public reception. Not that they didn't think of it until the very end.

Anyway I'm going to sleep now.

>>91161471
What else is there to connect it to? Why else would she suddenly be submissive to Asami if not for her sexuality change? It's the only explanation for why her relationship handling was changed from what it was before hand.

So yeah book 3 isn't korrasami romance development like Bryke claimed.

They shut themselves down, for fear of being shut down. That's why they didn't put anything into the show in book 3. Also worth noting that storyboard artist never saw the final shot before the show aired.

They might have thought about putting in Korrasami earlier, but they didn't and it was a last minute addition to the show because of it.

I honestly don't know why would Korra even consider herself closer to Asami than to Mako and Bolin

>>91161515
You connect it to shit writing.

>So yeah book 3 isn't korrasami romance development like Bryke claimed.
I haven't followed what they've said, but season 3 was the beginning of a deeper bond, so it isn't much of a stretch.

>They might have thought about putting in Korrasami earlier, but they didn't and it was a last minute addition to the show because of it.
I don't want to get into detail on this, but there are clear hints towards Korrasami before the finale.

>>91161537
One's a dick, the other is a moron.

>>91150328

Not mad, i must be one of the few that think Asami and Korra had great chemistry seasons 3-4?

But i'm still mad about the Avatar genocide of season 2. Fuckin' bastards.

>>91161589
They became good friends in season 3, that's not a "deeper bond" as in a romance development. So it is quite a stretch that they suddenly have feelings for eachother without any development to that.

No there aren't. We have been through this alot on /co/ allready and every time the "hints" are shown to be projection.

>>91158200
>ffs!
please leave my board

>>91161463
>>91161083
romance stories & relationship drama have a tendency to become distracting in a story where it's not the suppose to be the focus especially in a video game. sure they can be done well but more often than not they become a black hole for the plot and in video games you go full on dating sim (see every bioware game after mass effect).

there's usually a reason why francis/zoey got cut from the original L4D or why duke's love interest got replaced with a marcus fenix parody when gearbox took over DNF (although in the later's case that probably had more to do with 3D realms still owning the character)

Why did we have chapters that show:

-Korra lusting over Mako
-Asami falling for him
-Korra backstabing Asami
-Mako falling for Korra and being corresponded
-They breaking up
-Asami picking Mako
-Korra losing memory and still in love with Mako


if they were going lesbian for each other?

>>91161682
The season 3 finale was the first real hint for me. But that's just my interpretation and even then I wasn't sure. It wasn't till Book 4 that I was certain that's where they were headed. Clearly I was onto something.

>We have been through this alot on /co/ allready and every time the "hints" are shown to be projection.
I couldn't give less of a shit what some random anons think on /co/
It's obviously not "projection" when they actually ended up together.

>>91161750
Bryke decided It on S04 only.

By that logic every interaction of Korra and Asami, even in S01, was a romantic interaction just because 'they ended up together'.

Truth is: they shouldnt even be friends in S03. Even THAT was an asspull. You don't stay friends with the person that backstabbed you twice and put your father in jail.

>>91161515
Bryke said they only even thought of Korrasami in S04.

>>91161776
Except it was, and if you believe bryke they agreed via tumblr.

Sure thing, but that doesn't mean your interpretation is right. The show itself doesn't hint towards Korrasami without Brykes "hetero-lens" comment. They admitted to not putting it in before Book 4 was being made. The storyboard artists didn't see the final shot before the show aired, and had no idea Korrasami was a thing until that point.

>>91161850
I know, but they've also said they thought of it before. Which means they're lying about one of those.

>>91161471
Friendship is no seed to romance. If that was true Goku and vegeta ending together would make sense. From a story perspective you canto do that

>>91161850
>Bryke said they only even thought of Korrasami in S04

yeah no shit, Korra should have either stayed alone or ended up with someone introduced in S04, since Mako, Asami and BALLIN were kind of a messed up choice by then


they handled a lot of stuff in Korra really bad

Storytelling in videogames as a whole is usually disappointing, trite and regurgitating the same basic plot over and over again.

The ones that get praised to high heavens are the ones that actually manage to showcase basic human connections in an engaging way.

Tomb Raider (2013) was a really basic plot, that only got mildly engaging because there was a tangible connection between Lara, Sam and some of the supporting cast.

Rise of the Tomb Raider meanwhile was a boring The Last Crusade rip-off, with the most important character being Lara's dead father, which we see in like 2 brief flashbacks. It was boring as fuck unless you wanted to analyze her Electra-complex.

>You're not still mad about this are you?
If by "this" you mean The Legend of Korra as a whole?
Yes, it was a shitty poorly handled mess that you couldn't pay me to watch again.
I don't give two shits about Korra and Asami 69ing through the spirit world because they're shitty characters that have never given me a reason to be invested in them that isn't porn

>>91161862
>Sure thing, but that doesn't mean your interpretation is right.
No interpretation can be "right." Bryke made a mistake with the "hetero lens" comment, the work should stand on its own. I'd argue pretty strongly that the show does hint towards Korrasami, but again, that's my interpretation.

>>91161838
It's bullshit to call someone's interpretations "projections" when there are legitimate reasons to make them. The ending only bolsters that.

>>91161874
Growing closer platonically is the perfect seed to romance. Doesn't mean it should always go that route silly.

>>91161874
>If that was true Goku and vegeta ending together would make sense

vegeta is pretty gay for goku in super. i wouldn't be surprised if he made bulma wear goku's gi and called her kakarot during sex.

I wasn't mad, just severely disappointed that the high point of this series was apparently the sudden hook-up between an insufferable idiot whose development throughout four seasons amounted to "growing" from willful bitch to boring failure and pushover, and a cardboard-made background prop of a character whose only worth amounts evidently to being armcandy for somebody else.

But the real crime is how all korrasami fanart after the finale changed from passable smut to obnoxious political soapboxing.

TLOK was a mistake.

/co/ If you had to make a new avatar TV series that could not interact with any of the previous content what would you do?

>>91160266
Had to look him up to remind myself who he was, but about a 9, maybe 9.5

>>91150328
Guessing this is a bait thread. Fortunately, I don't really mind the ending

>>91150328
Dropped S4 before I reached the end

The giant shitty cgi mech with a laser cannon stomping around the city like a low budget japanese monster movie is where I drew the fucking line.

>Growing closer platonically is the perfect seed to romance
So Sokka and Aang ending together in ATLA would make sense to you?

friendship doesn't mean shit to romance. It can happen that they are friends and then turn to lovers, but for that to happen you need the romantic buildup. It can't come from nothing.

>>91155899
The only good thing about Asamai is her "1930s Westernized Asian" good looks.

>>91158896
The better to net them all up as a pet demo that supposedly thinks and votes monolithicaly, enforce conformity, and suppress dissent.

>>91162180
i would just reboot the series and pretend that TLA & LOK never happened at that point

>>91162180
Set it long before TLA but without using any of the names and past events dropped.

Story of two twin brothers

one of them is the Avatar, the other one is no-bender

it will first accompany the two brothers expiriencing together the 4 element trainning (the non bending brother still trains with the avatar since they are really close together)

fast forward to their 14's when the element trainning is complete, the avatar brother can't connect to the spirits nor the avatar state (for some unknown reason)

Some kind of global scale conflict occurs and the avatar is needed, but the way he aproaches this problem while not outright evil is morally questionable and breaks the relationship of the two brothers, they have a fight and the non bender brother realizes he can use the avatar state and uses it to merely dodge/divert the elemental attacks (like lighting redirect)

the rest of the series is about finding out how to take down the avatar without any powers and the help of some friends the main twin got while he was "trainning" with his brother


of course there's problems like the avatar state being the reason the avatar can bend the 4 elements at the same time, and the spirit of Raba being the reason the avatar exists in the first place

but i like the idea of a questionable avatar that needs to be stopped without being full retarded evil

>Korra contemplating suicide because she lost 3 of her 4 super powers
Seriously? She contemplated suicide because she became useless as an Avatar. Killing herself would trigger the reincarnation cycle and the world would again get a functioning Avatar in less than two decades instead of two thirds of a century.

Why do you want this so bad? Goddamn I am so sick of them forcing lesbians into everything, especially a character like Croft.

>>91150328
>mad
are people legit mad with that?
Not because Juan episodes killed all the Lore Avatar had?
Also poor Asami , never had a proper character

>>91160266
Go self insert as le funny Bolin

>>91157813
me too.

Man, I am so glad that I couldn't be assed to watch it after the first season.

>>91166224
You can be mad about more than one thing.

>>91166224
people are mad becuase of what it ment more then the action itself
it basically just shows the writers for the hacks that they are

>>91166224

That's how it is for me
It's sad, because then I also remember all the hype when Korra was announced
