Legend of Korra

A little late to the party, huh?

>>93843535
WE HAD THIS THREAD YESTERDAY

The Legend of Korra was a mistake.

they need to keep milking the series.

>>93843580
Have we discussed the possibility that scrappy is terrorizing /co/ with Legend of Korra just as much as Avatar the Last Airbender

>>93843783
I mean, I wouldn't mind two more series to finish the avatar cycle, and perhaps some decent video games, I would kill for a proper RPG in the Avatar universe

Preview pages?

>>93843948
No it's real, it's from the Amazon preview. The artist doesn't like it because it spoils the kissing.

>instead of addressing the countless plotholes or all the remaining conflicts they focus on the relationship between Korra and Asami

>>93843993
Here, I'll just summarize it because really not a lot happens:
>Korra and Asami go on vacation
>Korra claims she's felt a bond with Asami ever since the race track scene in book 1, okay
>they get attacked by a spirit that doesn't like the portal, they decide to head back because they lost their supplies, they kiss
>they go to see Korra's parents first to tell them
>scene missing
>back in Republic City the guy who owns the land surrounding the spirit portal wants to turn it into a theme park, Korra wants it to be a sanctuary
>Raiko tells her to fuck off because the guy building the park has the money and the city needs it
>There are some pages missing but Kya probably tells them how girl on girl sex works
>the Triple Threats apparently has a new leader and he's working for the guy who wants to build the theme park
>some fight happens at the portal, Korra sics spirits on the guy and he ends up all mutated like Wan's friend
>Asami gets her ass kicked, she and Korra kiss
>Mako is actually clearly not okay with this
>Spirit hitman guy is pissed off over what happened and takes over the industry company building the park

So Bryke are confirmed hacks?

>>93844269
Well, wanting it to be a sanctuary isn't a bad idea but when it's in the middle of a destroyed city that desperately needs money then yes it's incredibly naive, even for Korra.

I'm guessing Asami doesn't have the money to buy the land either or else that problem would be solved right away.

>>93844205
>humans angry about the portal being opened
>spirits angry about the portal being opened
Why did Korra do this?

>>93843890
>You'll never get an Avatar RPG where you play a new Avatar and you go about your own way establishing peace
>you will never have your own team Avatar
>you will never get to beat the shit out of spirits

>>93843535
Are those comics canon?The writting is fucking cringeworthy.

>>93844205
Oh and I'd say the art ranges from being okay to the artist clearly has no idea what she's doing.

>>93844315
>I'm guessing Asami doesn't have the money to buy the land either or else that problem would be solved right away.
considering it's never mentioned that she lost the money I'm guessing she could easily do it and hence this is a plothole

>>93844350
It's really disappointing, but still better than anything Marvel releases these days

>>93844378
>better than Gwenpool

>>93844377
There are missing pages so it might be brought up but the fact she says something about how they'll find another way to protect the portal makes me think her buying the land isn't an option.

>>93844320
Because Korra's a god damn idiot.

>>93844423
So far all gwenpool artists were below deviantart lvl and the writting is always mediocre at best.

>>93844521
We don't really know what her relationship with Izumi is, I can see them not getting along since Izumi seems to be dedicated to keeping the FN out of international conflicts.

>>93843993
>Asami goes from starting to get up off the ground to being passed out in Korra's arms in one page
Thank God they're emphasizing how much of a liability Asami really is to have around in combat.

Boy I can't wait to see how well-written the parts when Korra inevitably confronts Mako will be.

>Mako are you okay? You've been avoiding Asami and I since we got back.
>It's just a little weird for me seeing you two-
>WHAT'S WEIRD? THERE'S NOTHING WEIRD ABOUT US! WHY DO YOU HATE US? REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Arguably this might be a good opportunity for Asami to do something useful and just explain it was weird for her seeing Korra and Mako hook up.

>>93845975
>Arguably this might be a good opportunity for Asami to do something useful and just explain it was weird for her seeing Korra and Mako hook up.

That sounds a little TOO sensible, don't you think? Clearly Mako being portrayed as vaguely homophobic (when any sane man would be disturbed that his last consecutive lovers hooked up) needs to be stretched out through the entire story.

its hilarious to me that Mako is the only main character without a love intrest by the end of the show.

he's just got absolutely nothing.

Wait this is actually out? I thought it was delayed for the 10th time.

Regardless knowing teh Avatar comics people who liked it (or disliked it but want to follow it anyway) are going to be waiting like a year and a half for the next issue, because that's just how they roll.

>>93849512
Eh doesn't really seem like anything of value is lost based on the summary we got of the comic

>>93849586

Their fighting gang members or some shit right?

Kinda a big downgrade from literal Satan, crazy anarchy cult and and a fucking mecha piloted by metal hitler.

>>93849512
Next volume is out in early 2018.

>>93849630
it was not supposed to be anything big since it will not be in the cartoon and will possibly be ignored if they make a third avatar series.

>>93849739
Yeah I think Mike said awhile ago the comics won't have any huge conflicts. I expect most of the comics will be about Korrasami.

It's not one guy though. The post count reaches like 13 or 14 before it ends up either turning into another type of Avatar thread other than a Bolin circlejerk or the thread dies.

>>93851733

It's never stated directly in the show since she's a non-bender and a citizen of Republic City so it's not important but Asami is mainly descended from Fire Nation settlers in the Colonies they founded in the Earth Kingdom (which are what BECAME the United Republic) She probably has some Earth Kingdom blood too though. Really though that's probably the case for most of Republic City.

It was painfully obvious they were trying to court the zutard audience with Makorra, and when thay failed it was painfully obvious they threw Korrasami together last second to score brownie points. Bryke was never, ever subtle about their romances until "lol hetero lenses"

Korra never had a genuine, naturally progessing relationship in the show's run

It's INCREDIBLE how fucking awful Makorra was. Nobody liked it. Not even Tumblr and Reddit liked it. Avatar fans didn't like it. It was just hated universally, and you can hear the passive-aggressive annoyance in Mike and Bryan's commentary on the matter in the aftermath of Book One. It was arguably the biggest failure of Book One, even surpassing Amon and pro-bending.

>>93843535
That is some atrocious art. The actual drawings, body language, shit coloring, stiff and amateur paneling. Was this artist plucked directly from some Tumblr webcomic? Korra's masculine face has all the qualities of an artist who's extensively made comics that lack any real story or characters and probably lots of yaoi blushing too.

>>93854266
I was neutral towards it.

I was never interested in it. I just wanted to see the rest of the world. Not that relationship drama

>>93854213
More like it's a summary based on images we know about with some embellishment. We don't have the full comic yet, and we know the spirits don't listen to or help people in LoK unless the plot needs them to help. They also don't attack people unless the plot needs them to attack.

>>93843535
I wish Bolin was the Avatar, the Legend of series was still a mini-series, him and Amon are perfect counters to each other.

I actually liked Masami. Taking the two least interesting characters and giving them shit to accomplish actually developed both characters more than a romance with Korra ever did, and dare I say, actually made them interesting.

Mako and Asami's sting operation was the probably the only time I was ever even remotely invested in anything either character was doing.

When either Mako or Asami is with Korra, Their character arcs take a complete backseat to whatever Korra is doing, because she takes precedence. Asami is even worse in this regard because she...really doesn't have any reason to be there after the mid-way point of Book 2.

That situation is not something you want to self insert into, especially when they're your close friends.
You have to think about if they're going to tell the kid and if they don't the kid's going to work out they have some similarities to you and two mums. If they do and the child wants to be a part of your life more then uncle 'family friend' what are you/they going to do.

This is the biggest misstep. What was even the fucking point of all this? The whole reason she left the portals open was because she learned Wan was trying to get spirits and humans to coexist, but failed. It was supposed to be about trying again and overcoming past failures. But instead it's just a bungled plotline that doesn't seem to have any purpose. All it does now is exist as another fucking Korra failure, which can't possibly be what they were going for.

>Dude was way too self-absorbed
How do you figure? He always seemed like he wanted to help them with whatever situation vexed them, and stood by both unless they (meaning Korra) were actively doing something stupid and destructive. (like convincing General Iroh to involve Republic City Soldiers in a war that isn't theirs with nothing to gain but casualties, which directly conflicts with his duties, for example.)

Once you take out the shipping shenanigans, out of everyone in the show, he's the most well-adjusted, level-headed, and dare I say competent character. He figures out everything before everyone else does, only acts on the right information as he acquires it, and is a talented fighter to boot.

He never once came off as self-absorbed. At best, he's guilty of being a confused young adult in presence of two insanely gorgeous women whom he had genuine feelings for that were both throwing themselves at him.

>>93855943
His relationship with Asami was perfectly healthy.

it's okay. I let go of the idea of korra being a good show around the time season 2 was half finished. I had hope for 3-4. Even found them enjoyable but the last episode kind of ruined that. I really want to thank Bryke for making me realize what was truly important to them and how I would never be a part of that. I guess I'll just have to live with ATLA being the only canon avatar show and I'm okay with that.

>>93856504
Just a Bolinfag.

>>93856504
It's a consequence of his early characterization not really getting addressed. He came off as kind of a dick early on in the whole love triangle thing. But part of it is that he really was a competent dude who's been in charge of his brother all his life so he's got a certain level of self assurance in himself. But he never really got developed out of that, and just got bounced around as the plot required. Cop, bodyguard, etc. He became more a thing for people to bounce off of than a character in his own right, so we're left with his most dynamic interactions from the first season.

>>93856635
Eh, I feel like they actually improved him over time.
When initially his entire role was brooding love-interest and milkbone for Korra and Asami to fight over, he was aggressively uninteresting and took up space that could have been better used elsewhere.

Later on, when they actually had some fun with him, he improved dramatically in my opinion. I'd rather have more antics with him and Wu than this lesbian boredom.

>>93856822
Oh I enjoyed him, I won't disagree. He was infinitely more tolerable later on. But he's at actual character never really came up again. He was Straight Man who didn't really seem to have any drives any more once he stopped being Korra's side piece. He's just kind of, generically responsible and competent. Bolin has his desire to make something of himself, bouncing him from sports star to movie star to Nazi in his attempt to find his place in the world. Mako's whole drive was to have a steady life for him and his brother, but that sort of stopped being a necessary thing after season one. And so he's just kind of still competent without any background to it. What he wants as a person doesn't seem to matter any more.

Opal was a bitch to Bolin because he was trying to reunite a nation and they did kind of break up after she refused to put out when Bolin said he wouldn't side against Kuvira.

I wish Bolin stayed on Kuvira's side a little longer so we could get an all out fight between Bolin vs. Mako fight. That be the hypest shit.

>>93856504
Not a bolinfag, but earlier he was kind of dick and cucked his brother after he told him, he (Bolin) had feelings for Korra then he (Mako) confessed to Korra he had feelings for her, which ended in Korra kissing him.

That was kind of fucked up.

>not making "The Firelord's Concubine" instead

>>93859365
I'd imagine the avatar deals with big picture things, not smugglers or turf wars. The Avatar doesn't have time to deal with every little crime in cities around the world that's what the police are for. Especially when there are bigger issues in the world like a fractured and leaderless Earth Kingdom/Empire to worry about.

>>93859404
What I got from the finale is that the Earth Kingdom is to stay fractured now, there's no longer any monarchy and the Earth states are now autonomous

Perhaps we are to assume the earth states keep control with the military equipment Kuvira had made. The whole thing about the Earth Kingdom falling into anarchy and being preyed on by bandits likely occurred because the Earth Kingdom was such a mess even before the Earth Queen got murdered. The military was also a mess with minimal to no modernization.

Now that every earth state likely has a contingent of mecha suits and security checkpoints on their borders it's logically to assume that there won't be anarchy this time

I will be disappointed though if there isn't a future comic though where one of the more powerful earth states decide they can start conquering their neighbors. With every state becoming independent it seems like the perfect storm for warlords to seize control of certain states and for border conflict to ensue

>>93859460
Wu wanted to make them a democracy, but would step down himself. The problem is that as it is they just return to pre-Kuvira state so they're fucked. Warlords are still around only kept away by Kuvira and her army which i assume was disbanded. Her army itself is probably fractured aswell now that their Fûhrer is in jail.

So you have a region with Warlords, Bandits, rogue states and the only army around is bound to run into internal powerplays. And the one person who could function as the unifying power and a threat to these problems is busy having a vacation and fighting crime in RC.

>>93859460
So Shin 2.0?

>>93858826
They're kostly written by lonely teenagers, lonely lesbians, perverts, or in the official sense, hack writers.

>>93859535
It seems though that the Avatar is far too willing to allow the nations to suffer internal dispute in exchange for keeping them away from warring with the other nations

So just as Kyoshi was willing to allow Chin the Conqueror to wage his war until it threatened Kyoshi's home, Korra is willing to allow the Earth Kingdom to devolve into something similar to China's age of warlords during the 1920s and 30s as long as it means it can no longer threaten the air nomads, the United Republic, etc.

>>93860025
While that is true, the Earth Kingdom/Empire doesn't even exist anymore. One of the 4 nations no longer exists which i'd imagine would be a huge problem. If nothing else Korra should throw in her support with someone in the region and work to get some kind of stability back in there. Otherwise she running the risk of nother Kuvira coming to power and spilling the conflict into other areas. With Chin the Conqueror atleast he seemed to just be interested in gathering the earth kingdom under his rule, we don't know anything about the ones who are going to fight over Earth kingdom remnants.

And even then i'd still say it takes precedence over crime fighting in RC, which the police should be able to handle on their own. Or fighting to maintin a portal doing good for no one.

>>93860092
I think the possibility of another Kuvira is low. Kuvira's success came from the fact that the earth states couldn't hold the peace within their own borders, and the technology of Zaofu was leagues ahead of the other states thanks to Suyin's isolationist policies

Now the Earth states have the material and infrastructure to maintain peace and order, but the danger stems from that every state might choose their own type of leadership, some might become democracies, while others are ruled by despots, and conflict is sure to spill from one state to the other

But the danger of one leader uniting all of the states is slim, and the danger of the conflict between the Earth States spilling potentially into the United Republic is smaller than the potential threat from a united Earth kingdom seeking to attack its neighbors

>>93860221
The problem i see is that the infrastructure was maintained by Kuvira and her army. Without her the army is no longer controlled and the entire structure build arond her cult of personality collapses. That means we return to the pre-kuvira state where the army remnants have the hardware to maintain peace but no reason to do it aside from personal gain. In essence they will just become another Bandit group lead by different former officers of the army. And those officers are not likely to agree on a course of action.

You have to remember that it is implied that once Kuvira got the materials she needed from a province they lost the support she had offered them. There seems to be no loyalty towards the people from within the army. So what i'm saying is that there is a real danger that someone charismatic enough could gather an army again and make a Kuvira do-over.

>>93860329
>You have to remember that it is implied that once Kuvira got the materials she needed from a province they lost the support she had offered them.

I don't think the show implied this at all. It implied a lot of things, ethnic cleansing, Kuvira possibly using the bandits to force independent states into her sphere of control, totalitarian control with the use of reeducation camps and lack of free movement, Kuvira strip mining the Earth Kingdom to fuel her war machine, but it never even sort of implied that Kuvira didn't support states without resources. In fact Kuvira seemed sincere in her wish to help the people in the Earth Kingdom, but in the same vein Pinochet wished to help the people of Chile.

>>93860881
I'm fairly certain that the Governor mention her abandoning other regions once the mining is done and they're no longer needed for the war machine.

I have to say that personally i never thought her fight for the Earth empires people to be sincere, she seemed more interested in gaining power and admiration to me.

NO It's not wonderful. Can't you see your daughter is dating a GIRL? You will never have grandchildren you stupid.

>>93861805
>You will never have
What if she couldn't have them in the first place? Women, even nowadays in our world with non-bender Equalist approved better than bending medicine, can be incapable of having children.

>>93861970
Then that would be an understandable problem. But he wouldn't know that at the time. As far as he knows she's decided to not have kids despite killing off her lineage.

>>93862238
>As far as he knows she's decided to not have kids despite killing off her lineage.
This is the same father that was okay with keeping a polarbear dog in the home when said animal could have eaten their only child thus never getting to the having grandchildren part. The same father that was okay planning for a civil war that could have killed him thus never letting him know if his daughter ends up having children.

>>93862456
One is an animal that while dangerous wasn't very threatening and if i recall correctly had saved her life from the cold.

It doesn't matter if he dies. It's not really about getting to meet your grand children (thought that would be nice) it's about knowing you family will continue after you die. Which in this case won't happen since they can't have children. It's also true that he wouldn't know if he died or she could suffer infertility but those things don't matter when she's not even going to try having children.

>>93861805
Perhaps she can just energiebend a kid inside Asami. Or I dunno, get Asami's energy to reside in her to get a kid from Asami through energybending.
Or perhaps Raava can simply use her tentacles out of Korra's vagina to ravish Asami.

ugh, it all just feels so forced
like, that's not how a family in the 1910s would act
what makes LoK so different? it's a little insulting to just have everyone go along with it, isn't it?

>>93861148
The governor was accusing Kuvira of taking everything of wealth from the states that came under her control, but there was never stated what happened afterwords, and we see in the show Earth Kingdom cities under Kuvira's control, so it's clear that she keeps order and peace even after getting what she wants

Also she was most definitely sincere in bringing order and stability back to the Earth Kingdom, problem was she also became obsessed with control and became willing to sacrifice everyone she knew and loved to see her goal done

>>93862771
Well, what are they really gonna do about it if she's literally the most important and most powerful person in the whole world?

>>93862771
It's not how anyone from that age or culture would react. The southern water tribe is still a tribal sociey.

It's only happening that way because Bryke wants to say it's to okay to be gay. And since it has no connection to the plot or setting it feels incredibly forced.

>>93861805
Korra is not going to reproduce to create retarded children. Why are people mad?

>>93862796
I dunno, act like real human parents anyway?

>>93862771
Because no one wants the drama, and having one of Korra's friends or family against it would be equal to character assassination in the eyes of the fanbase

Could you imagine someone loving Tenzin or Tonraq while watching the show for being legitimate badasses and for being kind and caring towards Korra, and then learning that in the comics one of them hurt Korra by being against her choice of partner?

>>93862816
>>93862771
Some anons were discussing before that Inuits didn't actually care that much about this kind of thing.
They were... weird; inuits didn't have contact with other cultures to the point they didn't even know how to fight. Of course we cannot know for sure how that really worked; even in more "open" societies that existed before there was prejudice against homosexuals, the only thing that they had different was the concept of homosexuality (only the 'bottom' guy was considered homosexual, and he was ridicularized).

>>93862784
I can't argue the Governor point as i don't have the episode on hand so i'll assume you're right.

To me Kuvira felt more like she saw an oppertunity to grab power, suggested it to Suyin who declined, and took it for herself instead. I don't see her as sincere since she doesn't help stabalize the region without getting more power and admiration in return. She is perfectly willing to abandon provinces to fend for themselves and reeducate anyone who disagrees with her. As for Bataar, i'm sure she loved him, but was willing to sacrifice him if she could kill her enemies and take over RC. I mean she had no reason to go after RC, it doesn't do anything for the stability of the EE it's an important port that she can gain more influence from having but that's still for her own benefit more than her country.

>>93862860
I wouldn't go so far as to say being against her partner, just a bit more surprised or something from at least one of them. Like, they accepted it without hesitation, and that's kinda underwhelming.

>>93862796
They could be not 100% onboard with the idea. What is Korra going to do, abandon the only family she has?

Obviously you can't lump all Native American cultures together but I've heard that most tribes/cultures didn't really have a problem with homosexuality.

Anyway I like how Koh initially made it sound like that not everyone was going to understand Korra and Asami's relationship and it might lead to some slight tensions or awkwardness and... surprise, the only character so far to not react with a blank 'yaaaaay' is Mako.

>>93862906
While i have no proof, i can't imagine the inuits being ok with genociding themselves because of love. They most likely had an expectation that even homosexuals would reproduce at some point so the tribe would continue. I mean there are stories of eskimos sending people out on ice flakes to die, in order to preserve the rest of the tribe.

>>93862950
She can start a new one with her waifu.
And if she really feels the need to take care of a kid, adopt one. Or perhaps still get fucked by a dude with genetic traits she approves.
Having a babbeh with a dude doesn't mean that you'd need to rabu him.
It's really easy.
In, out, repeat process for 2 minutes, and it's over. Wait a few weeks to see if impregnation occurred. If not, repeat process again.

>>93862860
Yeah even a character just admitting they don't understand and that they might not be entirely comfortable with it would be enough for fans to want them to die, even if that character eventually learns to accept Korra and Asami's relationship.

But Mike is also a straight guy and maybe he recognized (or someone told him) that that isn't an area he should try and just stick to making the villains the homophobes. I guarantee you at least one bad guy will call Korrasami unnatural.

>>93863065
Yeah honestly Korra has SO many friends and allies in powerful positions and she's dating the CEO of a powerful company, she's not going to suffer at all (except maybe on an emotional level) if one of them cuts her out of their lives because she's dating another girl. Her parents want a grandkid related by blood that's on them, even if Korra wasn't dating a girl she isn't under any obligation to give that to them.

>>93863065
Well no she can't start a new family line with her same-sex partner. They can't have kids. And i doubt she would drop her parents like that considering she was really close with them, and she's watertribe. Community is a defining factor to them. So i would fully expect her parent's to be atleast confused about this since she's abandoning her tribe for this.

Also adoption is nice and all, but it definately isn't the same as raising your own kid with your partner. In you example of outside help, one of them will always be a substitute for the biological dad.

>>93863137
You have to consider the age and cultures of this world. Even her allies would most likely find it very strange to cut off her family and instead go with her own feelings instead.

Not that it matters, since Bryke has decided that being gay isn't a problem in this world for whatever reason. Which makes you wonder why they would be nervous to tell her parents in the first place.

>>93863164
I dislike Korrasami too but "they can't have a REAL family" is not anywhere close to being what's wrong with it.

>she's abandoning her tribe for this
That's so over-dramatic, you know Korra's not going to stop helping and protecting her tribe just because her parents hypothetically don't approve of her relationship. There's more than one way to contribute to a family and a community than by just having babies.

>>93862931
Kuvira didn't see an opportunity to grab power, if she did then she wouldn't have been so adamant towards Suyin being the one to do something at first, she would have immediatly seized the situation for her own gain

Also she didn't stabilize regions that rejected her because in that case it prevents her from bringing the state under her control. Like I stated I think she legitimately wanted to help bring peace and order, but became obsessed with control. In her eyes it justified to force states into the fold if unwilling.

As for her move against Republic City, it was made clear in the show that many in the Earth Kingdom are still unhappy with Zuko and Aang taking a chunk out of the Earth Kingdom to form the United Republic. Considering Kuvira so strongly viewed the citizens of the Earth Empire as her people, and how their concerns came first, she likely had nationalist tendencies, and probably saw the United Republic as rightfully Earth Kingdom property just as much as the Earth Queen and other Earth Kingdom nationalists

As for Bataar I also think she did love him, but for Kuvira her goals came before Bataar

>>93863164
Well, if it's really so important to them to have a blood-related grandkid, then all Korra has to do is lie on her back, let a dude whose genetic traits are approved by her pa and her ma repeatedly trust his benis inside her for 2 minutes until the mysterious sticky fluids come out.
Then, after impregnation is confirmed, pump out a kid and drop it off to southern water-tribe chief and his mate (female).

Job's a good one.

After that, Korra can return to her girlfriend, have weird awkward moments of love and shit, and do stuff that makes the world a worse place in her grand legend.

>>93863210
Anon it's Bryke's fantasy world with weird animal hybrids and people being able to shoot lightning from their fingers, it's well within their rights to shape it as they see fit, they don't need real world justification to say that being gay isn't a huge deal, except maybe in cases where something is passed down through bloodlines. Korra's not going to take over as chief once Tonraq dies or retires, so it's not a big deal.

They didn't say they were in love, they said that Korra said she felt this bond with Asami and that she met someone who finally "got" her. Which considering how little of an impact Asami really has had on Korra, it does sound something like a retcon.

>>93863236
I'm not saying they can't have a real family. I'm saying they can't have a family with their own children. And i don't consider it be a problem with Korrasami, but it should be a problem for her family and tribe in the era of 1920-1930.

An important part of being in a tribe would be making sure it survives into the future. By not having kids she is working against that. I'm also not saying Korra won't help them out otherwise, but i am saying they would probably feel betrayed that she won't be a part of them and follow their traditions.

>>93863294
She would still have to raise the kid and in a traditionalist tribe that would most likely be weird with a female partner. I guess it could work somehow if Asami was a mistress on the side, but Bryke certainly won't go that route.

>>93863307
It's a world that is already established. And as established the Watertribe has a very strong sense of community which Korra is kinda throwing to the winds. It's also a world closely tied to east asian cultures, and in LoK to the time period of 1920. Both if which weren't too welcoming to homosexuals. It's forced, even in their fantasy land.

I don't care what some liberal said,
but the Korra Asami lesbian relationship just seems came no where from what I see.
It just happened at the last minute of the final episode.
I don't get why the writers did this.
It just seems that the made this at the last moment to gain talk and popularity, to" go with the flow ", to fit with the growing popular liberal light
ideology after the show was cut budget and cancel from TV.

Why would Korra need to raise the kid? Her daddy and her mommy can do that for her if bonding with a kid that is related to their blood would be so important to them.
Heck, she can actually use the excuse that she has more important things to do than raise her own daughter or son or twins or whatever she would pump out from her vagoo.

>>93863448
>>93863502
No, Bolin got over it right away, it's Mako who's clearly having trouble processing it.

>>93863494
And maybe some people in Korra's tribe won't like it, but she's the Avatar and she doesn't really owe them anything except protecting them as she's supposed to.

>>93863436
Well I'm a conservative and I think you're wrong

If you truly want to stop degeneracy on television you should kill Rebecca Sugar and burn down Cartoon Network

Personally I think two bisexual women holding hands is about the lightest shit ever, even two straight people kissing is more adult to have in a cartoon

I like Korrasami, I like Legend of Korra, vote Trump 2020

>>93863367
basically >>93863407

It doesn't make sense for Korra to feel such a bond considering they were basically backstabbing each other for Mako's dick for two seasons.

The entire comic is just about taking moments from the show and trying to justify the romance ("oh, you remember that moment? it totally means THIS")

Wasn't Mako gonna hook up with the Fire Nation Princess? However they ran out of budget so they shoehorned him into being a butler & forgot about him?

>>93863553
They weren't even backstabbing each other, that's the thing, for the first two books you couldn't describe their relationship outside of "we are aware the other one exists".

>>93863586
And then they became close friends in the third one so I don't really see the issue

I do agree it probably would have been better if Korra started greeting Asami by slapping her behind and winking

>>93863448

Yeah it's funny. Despite Bolin arguably being the most badass character in the show and totally rolling in all the pussy and cash he wants, I still picture him as a slightly chubby, dork.

>>93863548
To be part of the community. Her parents will likely help her out when she's off saving the world or whatever, but it's still her kid. It's not a time or cultures for this hardcore individualism we live in you know, family used to be incredibly important and still is in many east asian cultures. For everyone to outright accept this with no signs of regret or sadness at all, is very strange and only serves as a way for Bryke to virtue signal.

>>93863549
The tribe shouldn't like it, and that should bother her alot. Remember when she reluctantly left them to get help fighting Unalaq? She seriously cares for these people, so them not approving of her would register deeply. Now that obviously won't happen since Bryke decided it's not going to be a problem, but we don't have to accept that.

>>93863436
Well your retarded use of "liberal " aside I would say they did it because they wanted to. Hiding behind "its a childrens show" is stupid because its not like romance isnt in evedy othee show. Heck this show had people cheating on one another.

>>93863586
Korra was quite abit against Asami at first because she was with Mako. Once they got to know eachother Korra just became more jelous about it, but not hostile.

>>93863381
>be Mako
>get the chance to date two hot women
>cucks them both simotaneously
>fucks up so badly that he gets cucked by both of them
Man this dude should be on suicide watch

>>93863615
It would have been better if they weren't forced to be a couple. Have Wu or Varrick be gay if you need to.

>>93863701
Yeah but two dudes is fucking super gay, that shit can stay out

>>93863716
Then make Kuvira gay, or just make Asami gay with the redhead. Zhu Li could be gay. The choices are almost endless without making it forced in the extreme. I mean they never had a problem introducing new characters, just make them gay from the start.

>>93863615
>And then they became close friends in the third one so I don't really see the issue
How so?
The thing is, they are Magically friends in S03.

That said, the comic is talking about a moment from S01 to explain them being close.

>>93863638
>The tribe shouldn't like it
The ENTIRE tribe? What if Korra was straight but decided having kids wasn't for her? Should she have been cast out over that? Shit I guess Sokka was too since it's looking like he never had kids either.

>>93863638
Are you bitching there isnt forced drama to make us cry about how unaccepted Korra and Asami are?

>>93863638
umm....excuse me, sweetie, but she's the Avatar and you gotta deal with it

>>93863769
You talking to a person who obviously knows fuck all about small non-monotheistic cultures

>>93863766
>That said, the comic is talking about a moment from S01 to explain them being close.
It uses a moment from the first book to explain exactly when Korra knew what kind of person Asami was, in that exact same moment in book 1 she literally states that she misjudged Asami and that she isn't just a prissy princess, but actually someone she can relate to

It was most definitely not setting up a romance back then, it wasn't until book 3 that Bryke started moving them in that direction, but it details the start of their relationship and then where it progressed further

>>93863846
>It was most definitely not setting up a romance back then
And still Korra says from that point she knew Asami was the only one that could understand her. Which is weird.

>>93863769
The tribe as a group. Most individuals probably wouldn't like it either. If she wasn't having kids while straight that would also be a problem. We're talking cast outs, but all you have to do is look around the world. Having kids is expected even today. For higly tribal socities it would be needed to exist.

>>93863835
Explain then why it wouldn't be a problem that you wont help your tribe continue.

>>93863785
I don't want drama, but it's just as forced that everyone is super duper happy about it and happy for them.

>>93863802
Personally i don't care, i don't consider the comics canon. But there should be alot of people being upset in some way about it. Given the age and cultures they're emulating.

>>93863900
She didn't state Asami was the only that could understand her, she states it was good to meet another girl that she could relate to

>>93863846
Actually Bryke said in their blogposts that they didn't go in any direction in book 3. That was only happening in book 4. In which they held back because they thought they couldn't do it before they got permission from nick.

>>93863909
>Explain then why it wouldn't be a problem that you wont help your tribe continue.
There's more than one way to help your tribe continue and flourish besides having kids.

>>93863958
I've never said there isn't. All i've said is that having kids is a primary need for tribes to survive. And that refusing to do that would be viewed as a problem.

>>93864007
Societies evolve. The Water Tribes have plenty of people in Korra's time.

>>93864007
The tribe's currently fine population-wise, so there's no real need for her to pump out one or more babies to ensure that her tribe prospers or survives.
As long as she doesn't somehow give birth to Vaatu who laserbeams the world into oblivion, she's doing currently fine to ensure that her tribe's not dying out.

>>93844205
>>back in Republic City the guy who owns the land surrounding the spirit portal wants to turn it into a theme park, Korra wants it to be a sanctuary

Didn't the spirit portal open in the middle of some tenement neighborhood? There wouldn't just be one owner of all the land.

>>93864091
They do evolve, but they're in the 1920s. And they still a tribe with a strong sense of community suggesting they hold on to traditions. Which Korra isn't doing in this case of having children.

I don't get what is so hard to understand about not wanting to have kids being viewed as a problem. It was the norm for most of human history. Culd you imagine Jinora or Ikke not wanting kids and that just being accepted outright?

>>93864141
While true it would be still be expected. And not conforming to that would be considered a problem by the tribe.

>>93863942
>she states it was good to meet another girl that she could relate to
And here's my problem with this, coming from someone who was a big Korrasami fan and is still really conflicted over this: I NEVER got that impression from the show. Korra doesn't hold back in her feelings, if she felt there was a kinship with Asami, why did she never actively seek her out? When Mako and Tenzin couldn't offer her good advice in book 2, why did she never think "hey maybe Asami can relate, let me go ask her what she thinks"? Why did Asami never look at what Korra was going through and think "gee I can understand how Korra feels, maybe I should go talk to her" and instead her advice can always be summed up "IDK cheer up we'll figure something out"?

Asami's role in the show was to cry, kiss people and drive them around. Her own plot in book 2 was heroically resolved by the guy who broke her heart and his goofy brother. When they decided to do Korrasami Asami should have been elevated to Zuko or Katara-tier in terms of how much focus she got. She should have gone to look for Korra with the air kids, she should have been there when Korra went to confront Zaheer, we should have seen her and Korra talking about her decision to start talking to Hiroshi again. If they were not willing to actually make Asami worthy of the position of being second lead without needing to be Korra's love interest, they shouldn't have done it. They should have been aware that they fucked up how they handled her in the first two books and should have worked overtime to fix it. But they didn't and we got more Varricks and Wus instead.

>>93864091
>>93864141
Alsoif population number meant anything, China wouldn't want to have more children. But they place a huge emphasis on marriage and having a child/children.

Why did they shyly look away from each other in the 5th panel if they were just making out immediately beforehand AND ARE CURRENTLY IN EACH OTHER'S ARMS

>>93864231
>Asami's shown starting to get up on her own in previous panels
>she's suddenly passed out in Korra's arms
Was she roughed up THAT badly or is that a mess up?

>>93864217
Nah, China's strategic goal for world dominance really is to fill up all the places they own with Han Chinese.
They just want it at a speed so that their current economy, society and government ain't collapsing from growing too quickly.

>>93864273
They recently increased the amount of kids they're allowed to have going up from 1. But my point is, culture matters with these things. There is a lot of value in continuing your tribe/lineage no matter how many people are in it. The same would be true for the Watertribe who are stated to value these things more than the other nations.

>>93864272
It's fanfic tier writing. She is both a strong independant woman who needs no man, and a damsel korra needs to take care off.

>>93864332
Honestly if there's any culture I expect to be homophobic it's the Fire Nation, not the Water Tribe.

>>93864369
I'd expect all of them to be, with RC to be the least homophobic nation.

Asami is a great example of how to not write a female character. Just a pretty face with no personality dragged into other people's ventures.
But, like Korra, being a lesbian immediately seems to render her and her relationship immune to criticism.

Almost all of the adult characters in the show are better than the teen/child characters in the show. It should've just been about them.

this made me realize I wanted to see their interactions more. Everything in the fucking show was from Korra's perspective. I'd have loved to see a "master, apprentice" relationship between them and have the captain open up to Mako, slowly revealing her character to the audience

Instead everything (99%) has to be from Korra's perspective. Like do people forget that TLA had multiple perspectives and swapped out of Aang's POV frequently?

Not to mention they fucking destroyed his character because the fandom hated him . He became "Korra's boyfriend" and then fell into irrelevance after he no longer was

>>93866461
They did swap out of Korra's perspective. It's just that three-quarters of the other characters have nothing to contribute because they have no arc of their own that matters nor use in the show beyond contributed to group fights.

That's not hard, even the neet airbender had more personality than Asami

>>93866665
There always have been LGBT characters. What we have now is explicit faggotry.

>>93858826
Because like the show, they pretend that they had a deep and meaningful relationship that went beyond being barely friends.

>>93866843
Fight me, faggot.

>>93863909
>Given the age and cultures they're emulating.
So which of those cultures would actually be upset?
The Chinks that have a history of practice to fuck their own students of the same gender?
The Inuits that had names for same sex couples?
The nips that have an entire book from feudal times devoted to faggotry?

Seriously this is really a case of "damned if you do, damned if you don't" since there's gonna be people bitching either way. Ones that will bitch because it's too "unrealistic" that they aren't called out on being lesbians and others bitching because they'd be wasting pages on the whole homophobia thing.

>>93864142
Wasn't it near the Future Industries building?

>>93867533
All of the cultures would have a problem with women not reproducing in their society.

And all i'm saying is that everyone accepting it outright is stupid. No drama focus needed, just don't have the parents and friends celebrate it since it comes off as even more forced than i allready is.

>>93867660
Didn't Koh mention that not everyone from their circle would be cool with it?
I think her parents makes sense if it turns out that Asami really did take care of Korra almost alone. It smoothes things over quite a bit.
I hope Tenzin has a problem with it, seeing how he was so adamant to find someone to produce kids with.

>>93867793
Don't know, frankly i don't really care what Koh says.

If it turns out Asami did that, it would be another retcon to justify the ship, so shit essentially. She lived with Tenzin and the acolytes all that time in the show so they would presumably have taken care of her at the time.

He shouldn't be auto accept for sure, but probably will or will be called and old man or something along those lines. Either way it will feel forced and weird just like it has so far with everyone else.

>>93843535
>Bolin's only sad because his list of sexual victories is composed of movie stars and a princess. But he never got to fuck any of his friends, even though he would've made the best steady boyfriend.

Why can't everything Korra just die and be forgotten? Either they just stop or make a new Avatar series.

>>93867879
So like I said, damned if you do, damned if you don't.

>>93868065
Bryke did say they were done with avatar for the time being at the finale. But then they saw the chance for progressive points and instead started comics of LoK with korrasami as a focus you know. They're not stopping anytime soon, and they're not abandoning the politicly correct series either.

>>93868065
Why don't you just grow up and move on?

>>93868131
Don't know what you mean by that. They can have some people not being accepting about it without turning it into a drama about lesbians.

>>93868156
You are EATING shit. Do you know that?

>>93868184
Why do you care what happens to those beneath you?

>>93868162
Oh please, you know as well as I do that if there was someone that wasn't accepting it there's be faggot on this very board that would bitch just for the waste of page count on that shit.

>>93868253
Probably more than that. But you don't have to focus on it to create more drama, just go with their old answer of homophobes exist, ignore them. It would make for a more believable story though.

>>93868253
Not to mention the act of character assassination, it's fine if one of the villains mock them for it, or if Raiko doesn't like it as the guy is one the show has already thrown heaps of shit on before, but imagine the shitstorm if Tenzin disapproved, you would have both fans of Tenzin coming in to bitch how they're ruining the character and then comes the fags to complain how Tenzin is being a bigot and then it escalates from there until all people are talking about is the fucking gay drama

Turning the homosexual relationship into a non issue is the best course of action, the world of Avatar has already made gender and skin color a non issue, so making faggotry a non issue as well is no big leap

>>93868363
Ruining characters never stopped them before, but i see you point. Though Gender isn't a non-issue as such in Avatar, there were a reasonable amount of people who underestimated Katara and toph in the original and that didn't really change in LoK. The grandma also considered Korra a bit manly in her appearance. You're right on skin colour, but then again they're all some variant of asian.

>>93868363
>>93868466
And the best course of action would have been to not have them be in a homosexual relationship to begin with. That way the comics could focus on something interesting and they wouldn't be in the mess of either forcing a bad "coming out" plot or character assassintaion.

First two season they pretty much just knew each other then in season 3 SUDDENLY they're best buds. WHEN did they become such good friends? SHOW DON'T TELL. Stop making Korra say how good friends they are FUCKING SHOW IT how they became friends

>>93868515
I would say without that relationship we wouldn't have a comic to begin with, since that ending was literally what made people shout "we want more".

>>93868633
They became actual friends by Asami reaching out to her and talking things through about Mako. Literally the first episode of Book 3.

>>93844328
Are we talking Skyrim style, KotOR/Jade Empire style, or JRPG style?

>>93843535
From the previews it seems like everyone is accepting of Korra and Asami's relationship. I expected at least someone to react negatively for the usual drama. This way it feels too selfcomplacent.

>>93868643
I'd rather not have comics than have these comics. Personally i want more LoK as i happen to like the characters, but not Korrasami as it is the perfect example of everything wrong with the show.

>>93868663
By then they're ALREADY portrayed as good friends. There was no developement shown.

>>93868515
So you're claiming that the existence of a gay relationship means there have to be drama? I mean why not have the possibility of gay relationships open but also make it so that no one in your fantasy world is all that bothered by it? Does it break your suspension of disbelief if people don't hate it?

>>93868858
Well yeah it kinda does. But that aside as you can see in this thread having them not react to it is also causing drama. The only actual solution to the gay drama "issue" if you want to call it that, is to not have them be gay in the first place. At this point it is too late ofcourse, but they could have dropped the idea around the time of the finale, they didn't so now drama is inevitable. I would just prefer that the story is believable rather than more forced than it needs to be.

>>93868784
I just watched the first episode of book 3 to check this and their first interaction of the season is a press conference where people are grilling Korra for letting the portals stay open and for not dealing with the spirit vines, Asami is in the crowd, and after everyone is left she stays and listens to Korra complain about how low people's approval of her is and how she should be able to fix things

Korra and Asami were close enough to be part of the same team and fight together the last two books, having someone you know to talk with as things aren't going so well isn't that much of a stretch

>>93868942
I'm not talking about drama on the internet, I'm talking about drama within the story, there will always be people complaining, but there would be legitimate complaints when lots of people would come to complain because their action adventure story is wasting lots of pages on drama which actively hurts whichever character becomes the designated bigot

I don't like the overt enthusiasm, ideally it should be no different from when Mako announced he was dating Asami, but having it accepted at least prevents a lot of loathed drama

>>93869034
So you agree with me that people shouldn't be overly happy and accepting, but that drama shouldn't be focus of the story.

>>93869063
Sure, personally I think it shouldn't be treated as special as it is in the comic, but I still think it's better than the people who want there to be people reacting negatively

I don't agree with the idea though that there shouldn't be gay relationships because then dislike towards it is mandatory. I mean I don't want gay relationships all the time, there's definitely a limit and I think my limit has certainly been reached in shit like the Bioware games, a lot of anime, and that gay rock show, but Legend of Korra having one gay relationship at a time when no cartoon really had any gay relationships doesn't really bother me

Especially when it's just two women, two dudes is super gay
