That's true but I don't think either Korra or Asami ever get below a C cup. Which isn't really stacked by cartoon standards, but is quite stacked by real life standards and by the standards of the show itself.

Of course it has OCs since it doesn't take place in the Avatarverse. But they aren't super special snowflakes.

So I went and read it, and... it's way, way better than it has any right to be. Things that should be alien are alien, and things that should be familiar, familiar. The characterisation and the writing are are great. It actually feels like Korra and Asami in the spirit world of AtLA, where everything is strange and potentially threatening/welcoming.

Added to the small list of fics worth following without irony.

Mako
Korra takes Asami's back here, careful of retaliation thus trapping Asami's left hand, or at least attempting to. It's difficult to see if Korra will kick her leg over to put the hooks in inside Asami's thighs; if not she is probably going to wrestlefuck or calfride a turtling Asami.

A very underrated but veteran move is to stick your head in the middle of the chest of your opponent. It forces your opponent to move head off centerline, reduces visibility considerably, and disallows level changes.

Asami (hard to tell at first because it looked like they were both dark-skinned) also has shoulder control, though whether she will move to elbow and wrist control, or breast control is up in the air.

Could be a rookie mistake, but Asami already has side control but leaves her left elbow by Korra's kooter like that, leaving her open for a head scissors or inverted triangle. Usually you dig your elbows into the inner thighs when you're escaping closed guard, but Asami's already out.

Korra's so arrogant she has half a collar tie on one hand and showing us her sexy shaven pit in the other. The nerve, to show off like that against the one who taught her her moves. headcanon says Asami taught Korra non-bending martial arts

That brings up a difference of opinion on the correct way to grip (for no gi; I'm not even going to scratch the world of gi grips): thumb out or thumb in together with the four fingers. There in that pic we see a thumb out, hamburger style grip, which may actually be a sign of intimacy and gentleness, over the thumb in, monkey grip where Asami's left thumb would be on Korra's right jugular.

We can assume the worst (Asami's trying to rape choke Korra) or the best (gently building Korra's choke defense).

Asami's open guard is opened even further by Korra's distractionary breast sucking and lower lip fingering. No feet on the hips, no butterflies in the ... crook between Korra's crotch and thighs.

Only if Asami's left was going from Korra's neck to right elbow, or either an overhook or underhook on Korra's right side for the toss. If that was not the intention then I am seriously at a loss for words.

Believe it or not, Korra is actually coming up ahead, and soon literally on top, in this exchange.

Few tings to note:
>Korra's back is already off the ground
>Asami's right hand is on the mat
>no lockdown on Korra's left leg
>Asami's hips are off to the side rather than on top of Korra's thighs, pelvis, or stomach

Korra can easily kick her right leg over the top and simply pull the reversal here. To prevent Asami from posting, Korra should use her left hand to cup Asami's right tricep and pull them out of the page in the +x direction to have complete dominant control of Asami's body.

Seems Asami has let herself go in more ways than one. this makes me moist and hard

You're right; it definitely could work. However, if there were others there, I think Korra and Asami might be too shy to be so overt about their intentions.

Plus there also the inevitability of Tenzin showing up to clamjam them both at the worst possible moment.

My headcanon tells me that Korra would be a tremendous power bottom game player. This pic is the quintessential wrestler vs jiujiteiro dynamic, where the wrestler in Korra's guard maintains top control, whereas the jujitsu player with her legs wrapped around Asami's hips and waist is looking to attack off her back.

If the drawlines are cleaned up a bit, I would strongly argue the case of having this picture put up on all dojos and gyms across this great land as inspiration for young boys and girls to strive toward:

It's an odd one, because it was likely produced last. Janet and Seychelle had almost certainly already performed the voice acting for the finale when they were delivering these lines. Hence, the odd out of time sense that Korra and Asami are already a couple here. Asami's "I brought you some tea" is gay as fuck, but Korra's reply is confident. She's doesn't have the shyness of the Reunion. The only thing troubling her is Toph's misanthropic bollocks from earlier in the season.

And even Tenzin seems confident in Korra when the eps before and after, he has little faith in her.

That's what I mean. Korra's voice doesn't stumble or crack like when she's trying (and failing) to play it cool when she reunites with Asami. She has no hesitation in telling Asami she's "so sweet". Not that "it was sweet of her", or "that's sweet".

>And that pose/scene plays out like a soldier and his wife talking before a major battle.

Exactly. If you were unfamiliar with the series, and heard from the net that these two got together and then watched this scene, you'd think it had already happened.

>>1692065
>The way I see it, they're pretty sure there's something going on there and are comfortable flirting

I imagine this is how the creators would see it. Still, unlike a lot of people, I do think that being produced last made this scene gayer than what might have been there without the clipshow.

Ahh the elusive open guard. How sweet the entrance, but how dangerous the surrounding assets. From Korra's POV we see Asami is baiting Korra in with her lascivious eyes and her two sets of luscious lips.

There are many entries to someone's guard:
http://fightland.vice.com/blog/becoming-shogun-coming-of-age-in-japan

If we're not trying atomic drops, soccer kicks, or stomps, we need more finesse in this fine operation. Asami fell in love with Korra's intelligent displays of power and not the dumb muscle that others see. Let's begin with what Korra has already done so far:

>hand on inside of thigh
>hand on calf and knee

Korra can opt for the double stack pass aforementioned >>1691759, a no- or one-handed guard pass >>1691607>>1692035, or bait a triangle choke from Asami >>1692062.

She has many options to get inside Asami, and it's of this novice's opinion that she should use Cunnilingus to setup other attacks. a bit tired will take break after this post

From the looks of things, approval (at least during Book 3) was based on solely what Raiko said. He pushed the vines not being taken care of off of himself and got Korra to share the blame with him in the eyes of the public. Both of their approval ratings were like current USA government.
And now the city is destroyed to a much larger and vast degree than just respawning vines.
Asami must have a lot of good will built up in her name. And Hiroshi's sacrifice, if they let its backstory go public, may boost the Sato name even more.

So Asami's name is more than likely guaranteed to be positive. But she did skedaddle with Korra. If she left behind a temporary plan of action for her whatever positions the other people who monitored Future Industries while she was with Korra in Book 3, then backlash against Asami may be nonexistent.
Now if someone else has a bone to pick with Korra they could use her leaving as a reason to not-welcome Korrasami. Or even spin it so that she shares blame with Kuvira for the destruction of the city. Or even blame her recovery period for allowing things to get so out of hand.
This is Legend of Korra so Korra can't be too happy for too long.

That's a whole 'nother level of angry there. Kuvira is possibly in a period of self loathing (just like several past instances of Korra) and Asami may or may not be sore about her dad getting smashed to a pulp in front of her eyes by the person full of self loathing mentioned above.
So like what would be the basis? Korra is the only person to visit Kuvira in prison until she convinces Asami (it takes a lot of convincing) to go with her. And then things go from there?

I miss that we didn't see Kuvira's mindset crumble in terms of good intentions. Re-education camps, expelling the other elements from Earth Empire soil, destroying things to forcefully take them back, if not for stuff like that she wouldn't need a spanking.

Korra wants to believe Kuvira, but seemingly sides with Suyin despite Su going behind Korra's back for a failed night assassination attempt. A benevolent dictator.
And Kuvira apparently didn't even want to have the next Avatar on her side if she cuts all possibilities of having in ally in Korra. An Earth Avatar would grow up on Earth Empire soil and could trust Korra's council that Kuvira is okay and chill. And they would pass that on to the generations.

I really haven't stopped. But in the initial two or three weeks after the finale, all I wanted was post-finale, fluffy spirit world adventures. But since the pairing being canon has (just about) sunk in, I've been hoping for fics with a bit more substance.

It's bizarre that since the ending, some of the better long fics have been season one AUs, rather than finale continuations. I guess having an existing framework for the story helps focus on the Korrasami part, rather than having to create your whole new story with only a hint of what's to come.

>>1692163

Korra already consulted others in attempts to gain a Mako.
I believe that she'll take this relationship close and follow her heart and use her own boundless love to show Asami how much she means to her, without any outside intervention.

>I'm not one of those people that feel like Season 2 raped me as a child

Korra herself carried the show much of the time, and seeing her being so resentful and bratty (even if understandably so) makes the beginning of that season a slog. Then throw in the (admittedly realistic) depiction of Mako and Korra's horrible relationship, and there's little to enjoy beyond Varrick, and Tenzin's family drama.

>(The worst part of Season 2 is the very end anyway)

I'd agree with you there. Way to ruin the tragic moment of Raava being killed before Korra's eyes by having Unalaq transform into one of Rita Repulsa's monsters of the week. And then Jinora shows up to inexplicably solve a problem they needn't have written in.

I like watching good people make bad decisions and do bad things. I can understand that it's not usually why people are watching Avatar though.

I like to imagine Bryan got Mike really high and then Mike let Bryan do whatever he wanted. That's kind of what the Book 2 special features and commentary make it seem like what happened.

You can acknowledge something as well written and performed without enjoying it, Anon (though I'll never defend Unalaq - so disappointing in many different ways).

Bryan must have gotten high off of that second hand weed smoke, because even he didn't know what the fuck he'd done.

You can but I'm not used to seeing it (especially on 4chan, and especially on this topic) so forgive my confusion.

Yeah Unalaq was quite a step down from Amon.

>Bryan must have gotten high off of that second hand weed smoke, because even he didn't know what the fuck he'd done.
I don't think he cared. He seems way more into the feel and theme of what's happening than what is actually happening.

Thing is, while those things are important, what is actually happening is at least as important if you don't want the theme to either be ham-handed or bewildering.

>It's hilarious that in season three they backhandedly acknowledge how much the end of season two got away from them.
Season Three is great. They realized their own problems, but had not yet got overly concerned with fan backlash over their problems. This led to a very nice balance.

You should look at the interview with Sean Gantka (LoK Production manager) from January: http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Love_Robin/Korrasami_Insights,_An_Interview_with_Sean_Gantka

>After they started writing their scenes together in Book 3 and they just gelled really well?

I imagine it didn't hurt. And then JV and SG played the pair really well as being very comfortable around one another and happy to spend time with each other, so I suspect that pleased the shippers working on the show too.

LoK's biggest flaws as a series derive from lack of run time, really. If we're only going to have 12-14 episodes per season, each episode need to be 44 minutes. Otherwise, give us 16 or so.

I'm still glad that it didn't end with ATLA though.

And prior to that she's clearly worried that Asami's father is going to hurt her, even without hearing the words she's saying.

Of course in reality what hurt her the most (and the main reason Asami even spoke to her father) was Korra's lack of communication and later disappearance.

One thing I will say in that anon's defense (though I don't agree with him), I do think most fanfic authors move to fast in the Spirit World, with Asami and Korra frenching the second they're through the portal and declaring undying love.

I think it would actually be a slow, leisurely exploration of boundaries and intimacy. And that that's basically the whole point of the trip.

Asami is pretty much crushing hard on Korra at this point but Korra has yet to retaliate. Can't blame her what with the world on the brink of destruction and all. The most realistic scenario is them trying to understand their "relationship" in the spirit world. Asami would probably catch on faster since everything around them will be fucking pink or something.

I agree, and I've echoed that sentiment many times in these threads. Though do remember how quickly Korra and Mako were declaring their love for each other and making out. Their entire relationship has been a slow burn, and I don't expect them to be fucking inside the Tree of Time any time soon. Though I guess that's okay for intentionally over the top fics, like the spirit babies one.

Yeah we get it, you genuinely have an autism spectrum disorder and don't understand jokes or the subtleties of social interaction.

Which is entirely appropriate and good. Korra sounds WAY younger in Book 1 than in Book 3 and it reflects her character growth. It's funny what a subtle change in the voice can do.

It would have made more sense than Zuko falling for Mai because she blushed at him one time when they were little kids, at least. Though on the positive side, the Zuko/Mai romance scenes were some of the only ones that weren't kinda cringeworthy to watch and at least it had some believable conflict in the show.
>>
>>1692538
Zuko and Mai were probably introduced at a rather young age and Mai is noble of enough status anyways to have been a marriage candidate.

Korra's not that type.

Instead, the realization that she really WAS just a burden on Asami, the person she allowed herself to love and had always believed in her, would lead to a rekindling of her self loathing spiral and perhaps eventually, pic related.
>>

Zuko is still worth more though. Azula is still stuck with probably being married off to some other dude to pop out kids incase Zuko bites it.
>>
>>1692561
Is this really how the Fire Nation handles women? I never got that impression. I mean their army seemed to care far more about whether or not you can bend, females can do Agni Kais (again, as long as they can bend), etc.

I think Azula would be a powerful noble in her own right (and would probably eventually have Lu Ten and Zuko secretly murdered if she wanted the throne anyway)

True but it's bad to assume that's not a factor. I mean, it's how Ozai took the throne.

And even the second kid thing isn't a hard and fast rule. Primogeniture is apparently the default assumption, but apparently it's within the Fire Lord's power to choose his successor regardless of order of birth.

That's a fine headcanon but I see nothing in the show to support that. Quite the opposite, since the royal family's kids commit arson on a significant noble's beach house to no repercussions whatsoever.

The army and navy seem far more powerful than the nobility and they apparently answer directly to the Fire Lord. We 19th century Western Europe now.

Yeah. I don't think the Fire Nation is feudal.
>>
>>1692594
>>1692590

Right. The level of industrial sophistication we see the Fire Nation as having (steamships, tanks, etc.) basically requires both a strong central government, a highly developed manufacturing economy based in cities, and professional soldier class, none of which mesh well with nobility in the European sense and feudalism. Theoretically the FN nobility could be a semi-heritable status given as a reward to their top soldiers (like, instead of a pension, Admiral, you're now a baron), but I'm not sure how well that meshes with what's seen.
>>
>>1692599
>basically requires both a strong central government,
Only if you industrialize via the central European model. The central government in the US was quite weak during its early industrial development.

I agree with the rest though and the Fire Nation is probably meant to be equated more with Japan in terms of how its industrialization occurred than the US.
>>

>>
>>1692602

I mean "strong" relative to a totally decentralized or feudal government, not the modern meaning. So, like, the central government has the authority to tell somebody "stop doing that thing", and then whoever they told actually has to stop doing it or they'll get their shit wrecked. It's not a case where the nominal leader has to obey whichever feudal lord has the biggest army or is currently occupying the capital.

Yep, I'd suspect Korra was keeping an eye on Asami throughout the night. The way Korra asks her if she'd sit with her for a minute makes me think they'd been together earlier in the night, but this was their first moment alone with each other.

Because Asami is polite to a fault. And nothing indicated that she wanted yo drag Korra back. She seemed thrilled that Korra asked her to sit alone with her. And it's Korra who eventually asks if they're going back to the party.

I don't think she knew what to expect. They both obviously knew they're was something between then. Reunion aside, Remembrances is staged like they're lovers. But Asami's shock at Korra's offer shows she really didn't expect Korra to feel the same way about her as she did Korra i.e. romantic interest

There needs to be more of that in Spirit World fics. (I actually gave up on those ages ago though so for all I know some good ones have come out)

She'll probably try to hold it in though. Unlike Korra, Asami seems to rather dislike being caught crying. And Korra clearly hates seeing Asami cry.

I recall from a lot of places that many blamed her and were pissed at her for losing her past lives. But then some of those people and others quickly said, "Dat hair though."

Besides, I think Asami would like to style Korra's hair and long hair seems like a Water Tribe thing to uphold since Korra is always in blue unless it's a uniform or undercover. Korra's desire to cut it was for traveling incognito anyway and not CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT like people parroted.

Rokku: Er... can you march into the king's palace, destroy the place and threaten him with death if he doesn't fix this?

Yes.

>>1692742
He got himself out of it though. And his air nomad tactics (despite not being true like muh Laghima's) allowed him to pussy whip his opponents until they brought out the Moonslaying and back stabs.

Then again so did Korra. Both in Book 1 in Tarrlok's Summer home complete with rape cage, and with Zaheer's group. Although it's weird how the Earth Queen was better equipped to capture the Avatar than the terrorists who wanted to incapacitate her to the point where they could kill the Spirit within her without her breaking out. I guess you could say she respected Raava so much she didn't want to put the Avatar line at risk, but that doesn't seem to work despite what the artbook claims from the writers.

>I guess you could say she respected Raava so much she didn't want to put the Avatar line at risk, but that doesn't seem to work despite what the artbook claims from the writers.
That's kinda the whole point of that scene actually, what with her actively fighting entering the Avatar State and all.

People that didn't want shipping are mad. Or left since Book 1.
People that didn't want Makorra are mad. Or did as the above.
People that didn't want any pairings since it would take away from Korra's moment at the end are mad.
People that wanted better Krew dynamics are mad.
People that expected Korra to have a better hand in guiding the world at certain points beyond the actual fight are mad.

Though it isn't too many people. Mostly because a whole bunch of people just flat out gave up and left after they vented or were already gone since soon after the show began.

The entering the Avatar State then and there: yes. To die before the far more important and more worthy spirit inside of you dies is something Korra was having fly through her head while her antagonists were antagonizing her is powerful. I'm surprised they didn't have the immediate past Avatars phase in and express their disappointment in her before telling her to "join them."

>Are Makorrafags still assmad or just in denial?

You are correct.
They keep inventing knew increasingly outlandish reasons why Korrasami isn't canon/legitimate/"healthy", etc. and then circling around back to the oldest ones all over again.

Even Janet got seriously pissed on her podcast recently (not the one where she spoke with Seychelle). We know she takes the character and the show very seriously, and she heard one of the (myriad) Makorra arguments. This one was that by Korra being bisexual, it ruins what was a non-sexualised character and makes her inherently lascivious. To say Janet was displeased would be an understatement. She pointed out the prejudice in the statement, and railed against people that believe it and those just using it to promote their ship.

There's also the fact that that's putting the cart before the horse. Korra's bi and has had two relationships in four years, one of which has developed all the way to handholding. Korra herself disproves the bi = promiscuous/oversexualised.

It really is fucking dismal to watch, isn't it? And it's such a shame, considering how much else is good, but dragged down by that nonsense. Mako almost makes Book One unwatchable. He is such a horrible character in that opening season.

Take some solace from the creators at recognising and addressing this. They even call the love triangle "teenybopper nonsense" that they "are glad to put behind them" in the Book Three commentaries.

I'm still laughing at that. Book Four was in post by the time they even did commentary for Book Three. It's VERY noticeable on rewatch how much they go out of their way not to talk about Korrasami beyond the initial friendship spiel. The cheeky cunts.
>>
>>1693024
Like it was said in that one interview: by the time the majority of the fandom were shouting for Korrasami the whole series had already been finished. So everyone in the whole team was a bunch of cheeky cunts.
Like David being all "I wouldn't mind Korra and Mako getting back together" knowing full well that she was munching carpet with Asami and Mako is in a comfortable friendzone.

Kek at that trolling fucker. I love how he lead on the Makorra fans by promising a really big moment between Mako and Korra. Which was either him touching her on the arm in Beyond the Wilds or declaring his undying friendship to her in the finale.

Indeed. The thing is I don't really mind straight ships. I shipped Aang and Katara from episode 1 and thought they were rather adorable together. It's such a fucking feat for Bryke to make Mako (and by extension, Korra) so unlikeable in Seasons 1 and 2 when they could have just written the love story like Kataang and none of the love triangle shit. Spend at least 2-3 episodes with mild focus on their budding romance and all and not make it a centerpiece for the entire season.

>>
>>1693083
>Yeah, the goofed on that one.

Well I guess we have that to thank for. Otherwise Makorra would have been the end game if they were written better. I didn't stay after Season 1 actually and just came back mid Season 3. I remember Avatar threads way back when /u/ thought/hoped Jinora to be a lesbian and someone pointing out that nothing will ever happen in Korra because it's a kid's show. I wish that fucker is still here now.

The problem was that they tried SO damn hard to make Mako cool and likeable that the audience refused to buy it into the obvious pandering.

Your opinion, sis. I like it because Katara and Aang are likeable characters. And it just felt natural that they will end up together given the journey they've been together.

Someone did. Otherwise where did all these Makorra shippers come from?

Bryke are really bad at gauging their fanbase. See: Them expecting everyone to hate Mako in Book 2 but the vocal part of the fanbase siding with him against Korra.
>>
>>1693159
>And it just felt natural that they will end up together given the journey they've been together.
It felt natural they'd get together because we know that's what leading males (jokes about Zuko being the main character aside) and leading females do. They had no chemistry at all. Katara feels like Aang's older sister.

I didn't care so much about Kataang because the series rarely focused too much on the romance. It was 100% a designated romance, but I wasn't bothered either way, because I wasn't concerned with whom Aang got together. Though Zutara would have made no sense.

Korra otoh, I actually cared about a lot, and forcing Mako down our throats only suceeded in making me want to be sick.

>>1693160
>Someone did. Otherwise where did all these Makorra shippers come from?

Of course some people did. Mostly those that thought Zuko was so fucking dreamy because of his tortured background and tendency to brood like the Crow on painkillers. S1 Mako was a very cynical creation, designed to pander to the teenage girls that were presumably watching.

Yeah that's fine. Like I said, Kataang had fairly little screentime.

Don't misunderstand me! I loved Zuko in ATLA. My remark was about Mako appealing to those that didn't enjoy Zuko because of his character arc, atypical personality for an antihero or excellent voice work, but rather for his most surface level "broody hotness".

In hindsight, when I think back to my favourite scenes and developments? Yeah. He kind of did. Very much like Korra for the first two seasons of LoK actually.

>>1693276

I really would not be shocked. The way Mako was presented in Book One was not unlike how Shaoran (or whatever his name was) was retooled into the co-protagonist in the English dub of Cardcaptor Sakura. One of the network's major concerns was always that Korra was a woman. Having Mako be the love interest of both girls while also becoming the super cool badass that the boys could cheer for must have seemed like killing two birds with one stone. Instead, it ruined the entire fucking season.

I think at some point the audience itself bears some responsibility for audience reaction. If they just read Korra as "the Nag" then it's their problem, not the writers. Such is the pitfall of working in a subgenre dominated by manchildren.

Yes I've been in love. There's lots of kinds of love. The love Asami seems to have for Korra seems rather resistant to real life obstacles. Which is why it would take

I loved the setting of RC, and I really enjoyed the characters of Tenzin and Lin, and the threat of Amon pre-reveal. And I adored Korra herself. But I hated the bending brothers, the Equalists, Amon's backstory, everything to do with the WT Civil War, the spirits and the spirit world, and the finale of both books.

So, it's a mixed bag?

Is there ever a good explanation for why Azula can lightningbend but Zuko can't? Iroh claims you need to have inner balance to separate your chi or some shit, but Azula's pretty clearly lacks any kind of inner control or balance, so she shouldn't be able to do it, either.
>>
>>1693418
Oh come on no one here from /a/?
>>
>>1693419
It's more about a lack of emotional turmoil. Azula isn't a picture of mental health, but she IS cold, most of the time. Iroh even says this is specifically counter to most firebending, which is driven by emotion. Lightning is called the Cold Fire for this reason.
>>
>>1693419
The important thing to deciphering Avatar metaphysics is realizing that at least half of what any character says about it is pure bullshit and not actually how it works.

Much like real life, until the advent of modern western science, when it became socially acceptable to simply say "I don't know" instead of making up a dumb bullshit explanation.
>>
>>1693419

Actually she had plenty of control until she needed to lose in the finale so the writers drove her significantly crazier than she'd been previously.

Korra needed a therapist then but apparently they don't have those in the setting (That may be for the best, there's a decent chance a 1920's therapist would have diagnosed her with penis envy and given her a bunch of cocaine)

I wonder if it bothers Tonraq that Korra arguably has a closer relationship with Tenzin than with him.

Desperation. Her recovery plateaued, she'd been hiding for years, and found herself desperate to talk to someone and vent. She looked inside herself and found that for whatever reason, Asami was the one she felt most comfortable doing that with.

She seems somewhat happier immediately after she sends that letter (letters?) to Asami and resolves to go back to Republic City. Then that bit of humiliation at the island on the way, and Nega-Korra conspire to fuck that up.

>>1693505
>I wonder if it bothers Tonraq that Korra arguably has a closer relationship with Tenzin than with him.

I think he knows he may have messed up by letting the Order of the White Lotus raise her, and tries a hand-off approach when she reaches young adulthood. Like he says, he's there for her, but he respects her now too.

And I think as a soldier and bender, he probably understands the mentor-student bond and how deep it can become. I don;t think he resents Tenzin in any way, even if her does realise Korra is closer to him than her own parents.

Poor Tonraq. The White Lotus screwed him and Korra, and that's partially Tenzin's fault since he's apparently influential in it.
>>
>>1693518
>Also, too many people assume it was only one letter, and the parts narrated by Korra are its full content.
Yeah the whole timescale is deliberately pretty vague. In my head, there was a flurry of letters shortly before Korra decided to come back to Republic City. (A decision Korra presumably kept from Asami because she wanted it to be a surprise)

There can be no true despair without hope

Don't forget Tonraq was there when the Exbendables tried to kidnap babby Korra. He was probably terrified that something like that might happen again.

We can't say. But from the cadence of Korra's narration, and its content, it's pretty certain that the letter went on beyond what we heard. We were only privy to what we needed to know. Would there have been something in the letter that confirmed Korrasami twelve eps earlier? I'd like to think so.

Define "confirmed".

I doubt the L bomb was in it at that point but I'd imagine there were some hints to how she may have felt in it given the effect Korra never turning up seems to have had on Asami.

I was thinking about Korra's spiritual journey and development. The pacing was all over the place. How and why she learned airbending shat on everything we had seen before. And the fact that it was to save precious fucking Mako's bending was the final insult.

>I was thinking about Korra's spiritual journey and development. The pacing was all over the place.
Yeah the pacing was screwy. Not coincidentally, Book 1 had the most story to tell and the least time to tell it in. As rushed as parts of Book 4 ended up (thanks, Nick) imagine if it was also burdened with establishing every character, concept, and world building.

>How and why she learned airbending shat on everything we had seen before.
The franchise has always been at its weakest when exploring its weird, arbitrary, shallow take on Eastern philosophies. It's better just to use it for window dressing.

>And the fact that it was to save precious fucking Mako's bending was the final insult.
I'm not sure I have ever hated a fictional character as much as you hate Mako.

Asami didn't really accept the apology though.

It's not actually. You can't have Book 3 Korra without Book 1 and Book 2. They minimized some flaws in their story telling and grew as writers though, yes.

Of course she will. Because Asami will go with her.

She'll insist on going with her, giving an excuse that Future Industries will help with providing the various states with good when it's just an excuse to spend time together with Korra.

Rarely better illustrated than in Iroh's quotes/advice.

Lel. It's not always you can look at a very flawed story and point to a single factor that you feel is responsible for dragging down so many aspects of the tale.

Also the idea is that she probably has competent people that she have follow instructions. And also some people forget that there's radio communication, so she'll keep in touch. And after a hard day of radio conferences Korra will give her a nice back rub and tell her that what she does is amazing.

Damnit, Nick/television/western archetypes.

You know, the first time you hear most of his advice, you genuinely feel like you've heard something very wise or profound, and the focus back on the plot. But when you know where the plots going and you think about some of the things he said, it sounds like advice from a fortune cookie.

>>1693730
>I also think it's important that Asami accept that she has in some way been wronged and it's ok to feel bad about that.

I remember talking about this not long after the finale, and how Korra as Asami's girlfriend, can help Asami recover/mature as a person, by ensuring that Asami calls her out when she's in the wrong. Because I really don't think Asami is over Hiroshi's actions from Book One, and I think she's still frightened of upsetting people close to her for fear of losing them.

The only time Iroh ever gave genuinely good advice was back in Book 2 of ATLA, in that one talk with Zuko where instead of being a weird wise fortune cookie sage, he actually got kinda mad at how obsessive Zuko was being.

Most of Iroh's advice could be convincingly randomly generated using lists of sentence fragments with superficially opposite meanings.

At least in Book 1, while Asami clearly likes to look good, she does seem to sort of dislike the impression this tends to give people about her. I'm not sure if she'd do that, for fear of feeding the stereotype.

>>1693753

Thx. It helps explain why on earth Asami is still even willing to be in Mako's presence in the early parts of Book Three, considering how he had treated her a fortnight before. Though I do enjoy her withering glare, and nascent possessiveness of Korra.

Sure; I was referring to the scene from where I took that cap. Mako is talking about the new airbenders, and Korra walks forward to point out that he is welcome at Air Temple Island. But a second later Asami follows and puts herself right beside Korra again and throws Mako this look. It struck me as doubly amusing on a post-finale rewatch, especially in contrast to Korra's expression.
>>

It may be what Korra wants but I'm not sure it's what Asami wants.

I'm starting to think I once read a short fanfic just like this.

>>1693785
Funny how much thought must have inevitably gone into Asami's blocking and facial expressions in every scene (since as Bryke like to point out, nothing "just happens" in animation) and the story it could tell compared to how little front and center focus she actually gets.

Why does /u/ hate it when Asami is called a CEO? She's clearly the owner of the company, given her dad founded it, and based on her level of involvement, she probably also has some role in management. So it's a pretty natural choice to assume she's some type of CEO/President/Chairwoman of the Board.

Damn, Book 2 actually did have a good ending after all.
>>
>>1693802
>JUST LIKE LEGEND OF KORRA IS.
Legend of Korra never calls Asami a CEO. Only fanfiction writers due that, out of ignorance and confusion at what a CEO actually is, and out of a strange compulsive desire to use as many different epithets as possible instead of just saying "Asami".
>>
>>1693798

>Those words are not remotely interchangeable.

In theory, no, but in practice most companies will combine them into one or two positions- you see CEO/Chairman, or President/COO, or CEO/President positions fairly often in industry.
>>
>>1693805
It's a mover, don't think too much about it, it's like a ride.
Wise words. The whole CEO thing is not even comparable to the ending of Season 2 because it's such a minor thing.
>>
>>1693786
>I once read a short fanfic just like this.
I did write a really short drabble many threads ago when this discussion came up. Dunno if the idea has come up in any other fic.

>shit, i've been visiting these threads for a while
>>
>>1693807
Legend of Korra doesn't call Asami anything besides "Asami". I think she's only ever been called owner of Future Industries once.
>>
>>1693808
There is no reason to believe this is the case with Future Industries, which seems to be a sole proprietorship. I doubt anyone writing these fanfics actually is aware of the conditions you're describing or what they entail, and is instead just using CEO to mean "Guy that runs a company".

>>1693809
It's minor but as has been said it's actually emblematic of one or two other, much larger problems, and not doing it is a step on the way to better writing.
>>
>>1693814
So why assume she's CEO and that Future Industries is, in whole or in part, publicly traded? Which is the universal assumption in fanfic, for some reason. Despite no indication whatsoever that this is the case in the show.
>>
>>1693816
>>1693817
I have really cool solution to this whole mess, which is actually great since most fics avoid her business anyway, wanna know?
Ignore it. You'd be surprised how easy it is.

I dunno, Ford was publicly traded, and it seems to be pretty clearly modeled after that. More broadly I think she references "investors", which implies it's some sort of joint-stock (if not publicly traded) company.

Do you have something against using expressive language to describe the heiress? The raven haired beauty doesn't have to be referred to by name all the time. We know what the genius engineer's name is, after all.

Beyond Hiroshi vaguely being Henry Ford, it isn't, really.

>More broadly I think she references "investors", which implies it's some sort of joint-stock (if not publicly traded) company.
These are presumably conventional investors, not dudes buying up shares, given Asami is easily able to give Varrick a controlling interest in the company in an (uneven) partnership. Hiroshi Sato has sufficient control of the company to fund a terrorist army with no one the wiser. If he had a board of directors to talk to, that probably would have been hard to hide.

The actual short story is so much more depressing than the video game.

Especially for SJWs. In the short story, AM rewires that woman's brain to make her a compulsive whore for the men in the group. She used to be an ardent feminist so AM thought it was funny.

I like it. Gives Future Industries a Megacorp-ish feel. Downright fitting once the corporations have taken over the world by the time the next Avatar comes around. I can already see the corporate court being lead by Future Industries.

Wouldn't be pure cyberpunk with all the bending and spirit stuff. More like Shadowrun. And Future Industries wouldn't outright own the URN.

The URN needs to stay, because of business and the illussion that they are still running the show when it's the corps doing so.

She would have suffered anyway. But it would have been less, and for a shorter time. She cut herself off out of self loathing, and to run away. It was the worst thing she could have done.

>Nega Korra never appears again once she reunites with the krew.
While I get the point, I still feel this would have benefited from a more concrete resolution. But y'know, clip show.

I can't stand when fanfic writers call Asami the CEO of Future Industries. I'm pretty sure it even has that as her title on the Avatar Wiki. It really just shows a total lack of understanding of business. I know most fanfiction writers really only care about the cute lesbian aspect but it would be nice if more authors could convincingly portray Asami's actual job.

That's one of the reasons I love that one neechan's fic that was mentioned earlier in the thread. It explicitly refers to her as the president of FI, and not the CEO. AND it doesn't have an awful case of purple prose with every awful epithet under the sun.

Oh come on. You can complain about a trend in fics that bugs you without being a misanthropic misery-guts. When I see Asami called a "CEO" (or heiress), it pulls me out a the fic, which is disappointing. Disliking some fanfic trends doesn't mean you can't enjoy fanfiction at all.

"Between The Wheels", "In The World", and "Unspoken Words" can all be recommended without a single caveat. And "The Avatar's Nonbending Master", "A Second Glance", and "Aftermath" are all fics I really enjoyed despite some minor annoyances.

That one neechan actually did some modicum of research for the writing in a lot of ways, apparently, judging by the engineering terms Asami uses in both chapters when appropriate.

"Two Nights with the Lion of Desolation". Niftly little short story about something that happens to Korra and Asami in the Spirit World, on the tail end of the vacation.

Very much in agreement. Why continue to read a fic that's actively making you angry or bewildered, whether through baroque epithets, flowery exposition, or OOC behaviour? There's nothing wrong with noping the hell out of there when a fic begins with Korra asking "What the fuck is taking so long?", "Asami was a sophomore at Republic City University", or "Sapphire orbs met emerald spheres." These are usually indicative of the content and quality of a fic. You're usually doing yourself a favour avoiding them.

There are some fics that I admit I continue to read even though they trigger many of my warning bells, mostly for base gratification or morbid curiosity. Like the spirit babies fic, or the headlines fic.

Very few of the better fics are finished. Thankfully most are still ongoing and haven't showed signs of being abandoned yet.

The better completed fanfics are mostly short fics. "The Avatar's Nonbending Master" is a good-sized completed story. But it comes with the caveat of being written in present tense and presenting the Equalists far more sympathetically (to the point of distraction) than they were in the show.

DO NOT BEND.png

Hey guys I just found a fanfic about Amon's Equalist Utopia

https://archive.org/stream/HarrisonBergeron/Harrison%20Bergeron_djvu.txt
>>
>>1694216
Eh ok, wrongly worded here. I mean of course Amon was a nutter, same goes for Hiroshi and probably the Lt. but there must have been some people with good intensions behind it because it's the truth that a lot of people were being shaken down by triads who are consisted of benders, nevermind ruled by benders and Tarlokk and his little club didn't exactly show benders a being great guys to non-benders either.
>>
>>1694218
>but there must have been some people with good intensions behind it
Let me tell you an amazing secret: there are people with good intentions behind every single movement ever, especially the ones that do cool things like censor history texts, enact curfews, and kill millions of troublesome people
>>
>>1694215
>There was STILL whining about it on some of the more left-leaning sites I visited while Book 4 was airing

Surely the fact that the Equalists were created wholecloth as Amon's cult of of personality, and that the URN so promptly accedes to a democratic election resulting in a non-bender president illustrated that the "endemic, long-standing oppression" of non-benders mostly happened either in Hiroshi's head or as Tarlokk's direct response Equalist turrism?

Even the Council in Aang's time contained at least two non-benders. The council of Korra's time is so ineffectual not because they're benders and have only benders' interests in mind, but because they're all in Tarlokk's pocket.

>I can only imagine the clusterfuck when it first came out so much closer to the whole Occupy Wallstreet thing.

I never even considered that. Shit, that's hilarious.
>>
>>1694220
>The council of Korra's time is so ineffectual not because they're benders and have only benders' interests in mind, but because they're all in Tarlokk's pocket.
Also because they're not really accountable to anyone but the world leaders of foreign nations that appointed them (Fun fact: Tarlokk probably was appointed by Unalaq)

The United Republic of Nations wasn't actually a republic of any kind in Book 1. It was an (extremely narrow) oligarchy. But good enlightened progressives watching the show didn't give a shit about that. They were just pissed at all the economic inequality everywhere. Who cares about silly shit like civil liberties and voting, that dude has more money than me because he can bend!

If the next presidents are benders he's gonna go down into history as the URN's first non-bender president and that's it. Like Obama's reign will be remembered as being the first black president and that's it (because on a political level he wasn't as successful as would have liked).

Who so happend to be benders actually. But that's besides the point.

It's really easy scapegoating combined with a slight grain of truth (Triad benders seem to have been a big problem for the average Republic City citizen and because guns don't exist in Avatar they had no way of defending themselves) and so it's believable that a political movement would form around it.

Now we see some gi play. Notice Korra's left fingers; she is taking the shoulder grip with her three final digits, not even bothering to use the index. The grip is strongest from pinky up, something kenjutsuka have long ago realized, and why yakuza cut off their fingers in that order when they or their underlings have done others wrong.

Asami looks to be reaching for the caboose, but is more likely gripping the bum flap in lieu of a belt, which opens many strength based judo and sambo hip tosses. The kiss is for head pressure and contact.

Statistically, LESBIAN relationships commonly move TOO fast, judging from the extremely high rate of breakups in lesbian couples. Harder to find data on bisexuals as less people identify as them.

That said, there's no such thing as a 'typical' relationship really. They all differ in greater and lesser ways.

> Because I seriously don't believe that Korra and Asami will go back to the real world from their vacation as girlfriends. They would probably be official months after.
They went on the vacation to become girlfriends. It's pretty explicit. If you don't consider yourself romantically involved with a person until months AFTER you went on a long, private getaway with them, I'm not sure when you ever start being in a relationship with them. Probably never, since everyone will abandon you for moving inexplicably slowly.

I'd argue that she knew she had feelings for Korra at that point. Romantic feelings. But that she didn't know she was full on, head over heels in love with her until the moment in the picture. That is an "Oh God I can't live without her" face.

But this is a matter of degrees and semantics.

I think Korra would be into fighting games, and anything actiony.

Asami is a Grand Strategy enthusiast.

Korra's a prodigy. She'd be ace at beat em' ups.

Asami would eventually get tired of dominating online strategy games, and move to a MMORPG where she joins Ryu, Otaku and the airbender girlfriends' shitty guild and transforms them into the dominant force of World Of Varricraft.

>>1694388
That would work too. She'd especially love realistic racers with highly customisable vehicles.

I liked watching selfish jerk Mako fuck everything up. It was a nice subversion of the true wuv/love at first sight thing ATLA and LoK book 1 had going on.

Maybe that's just because by the time I started the series Book 2 was already out so I didn't have that ridiculous year and a half long wait between Book 1 and Book 2 living with the idea that Mako was Korra's true love.

>>1694466

I actually quite appreciate his ~character development~ from seasons 1&2 to seasons 3&4. And I love how they still showed some awkward Makorra moments in season 3 which helped a lot in a more believable lovers to friends situation. By the end of season 3, only loyalists to Makorra would still expect any future relationship.

>Maybe that's just because by the time I started the series Book 2 was already out so I didn't have that ridiculous year and a half long wait between Book 1 and Book 2 living with the idea that Mako was Korra's true love.

That really would have made a difference. I can imagine the soothing balm of seeing Korra and Mako being depicted as you might imagine two horny teenagers "that fell in love" based entirely on physical attraction actually acting. Getting to watch that right after a season of Mako worship and a nonsensical twu wuv ending must have been so cathartic.

Even though Asami starts off looking far angrier at him (with good reason), Mako is over his awkwardness with her within a couple of eps. You'll notice that Mako uses Asami and Bolin as buffers so that he doesn't have to be alone with Korra throughout the season. He either arrives with one in tow or only shows up when Korra is with somebody. It's a nice little titbit to notice on rewatch.

>Kind of hard to believe she wants to be friends with Team Avatar considering 2/3 screwed her up.
Who else is she gonna be friends with? If we take what we've seen of her at face value, she apparently had no close friends before this.

I really don't blame Korra for what happened either, but maybe it's just because I'm a waifufag. She stopped pursuing Mako really quick.

We had a loooog discussion about this a few weeks ago that boiled down to Asami being utterly alone save Team Avatar and latching onto them as her only companions no matter how they fucked her over.

And it was also suggested in this thread that's Hiroshi's crazy act seriously fucked her up to the point she afraid of potentially alienating anyone that could be a friend.

And she never did blame Korra for what happened. Though that might have been because she liked her so much from the off and found her hot.

Read a fic earlier where Lin was awkward as fuck about it, and Mako was severely butthurt. Neither was extremely negative, but it wasn't the casual acceptance seen in most fics.

Korra just can't get into the meditating thing, can she?

>How would Pema have felt if Tenzin had taken her kids away once they had been nursed to be raised by random acolytes?
That's a very good question. However she felt before, I'd imagine it's different when it's her kids. Of course that couldn't happen because Tenzin is the only one that can effectively teach them airbending in all the world.

>Read a fic earlier where Lin was awkward as fuck about it, and Mako was severely butthurt. Neither was extremely negative, but it wasn't the casual acceptance seen in most fics.
I could actually see Lin being weirded out. With Mako...I think kind of forced acceptance is the rule. He wants them to be happy, but your two exes hooking up with each other is awkward no matter how you cut it. So he pretends to be more ok with it than he really is for their sakes.
>>
>>1694560
>Did she really? She just sort of gave Korra some general advice. Pema didn't even really know Mako at that point, did she?
That general advice being "I just couldn't stand my soulmate being with the wrong woman".
>>
>>1694578
Only that Pema isn't an old air nomad nor do their values apply to her since she's clearly married to Tenzin and your average housewife and mother figure. Not exactly much of a stretch of her being a soccer mom.

She's called that because /co/ has a shitty, shallow, childish reading of everything.

Now I'm kind of going back on the idea. As much as I love Korra and want more of her, that's dangerously close to her hijacking another character's series. Imagine the rage from /co/.

>it lets folks write essentially original fiction without having to develop characters
Actually come to think of it, it seems like if you divorce Korra and Asami from their world and backstory there's not really any good reason for them to have the character development they do. But then I don't know how good these fics are about keeping things in-character anyway.

I mean I hadn't looked at fanfiction for years before the LoK finale, but I don't remember this being an issue back in the day. There's significantly more AU fics in the first few pages of the Korrasami tag than there are in-universe fics. It's kind of weird.
>>
>>1694739
>>1694741

>>
>>1694741
Like another anon said earlier, AU fics are much easier and give you a ton more freedom. You can do anything you want without having to worry about canon. Even characterization is up in the air in AU fics.

I can see the appeal in certain ships where the canon makes it literally impossible to write anything remotely canon compliant Yummy Curry I'm looking at you, but Korra and Avatar in general really has no need for that.

Writing an original story within an established canon with established characters can actually be more difficult that just making up a setting wholecloth.

>not how Aang accidentally comes across as an irresponsible coward

Aang's an odd one, in that he's certainly brave enough to put his life on the line several times. But his refusal to put the world ahead of muh pacifist vow really does rankle, especially when an actually mature air nomad/nihilist Avatar like Yangchen tells him to man the fuck up and put world peace and balance before his own interests like the Avatar is supposed to do.

Think about how effectual a character moment it would have been if Aang did actually stand up and end the Firelord without lionturtle shenanigans.

I always figured that the morality of it all was that even the Avatar can be true to his/her principles and doesn't need to bow down to anything the people except of him/her. Hence why Kyoshi decided to fuck off and let the Earth Kingdom rape itself. Hence why Korra decides to go on a romantic getaway with her new girlfriend. Also Roku didn't slip Sozin the meat because he thought it would be cool if the Avatar was decidingly hetero during his run.

>I always figured that the morality of it all was that even the Avatar can be true to his/her principles and doesn't need to bow down to anything
Pretty much this. Aang remained uncorrupted by the war and showed that his values are strong enough to stand up to an unstoppable force even if a deus ex.

>>1694907
>I bet Mako never got to see that side of her because he took the leading role all the time.
She seemed to be the lead in what they did, only arguing with her in the times we saw onscreen to show how much more mature and smart he was than her and to show how he earns his keep on the team.

>>1694709
To "keep it in the spirit of the show" becomes more difficult since we already had jerks from the four corners of the Earth come out and make antagonists of themselves. So unless you go into Y7 politics, you end up making a new jerk to once again force Korra to do an 11th hour victory if you're trying to make a long fic.
>>

Korra was very happy to sit back and let Mako regale her with his exploits from the beat.

>>
>>1694964
>Now the question is: is that a good or a bad thing?

If you hate Korra (the character) it's a good thing as you can say things like "Aang had a drive and philosophy and a reason for what he did. Korra left the portals open because 'Why not?'" Books 3 and 4 approach this better because Korra already has an idea of what to do and for what reasons. But it is really difficult to do for Book 2 because it requires what appears to be mental gymnastics for a good portion of the viewers who stuck around. What's funny is those who "defended" Books 1 and 2 are having issues with Book 4 - and not just the very last scene but also the Tenzin one.

>>1694964
>I just want Asami to see a more intimate Korra than Mako ever did. But that's just me.

Depending on your headcannon, or what the commentaries may reveal in Book 4, it's possible that Mako only ever made it to first-base what with his job and learning motorcycle tricks and Korra's healing of Republic City plus apparent no_fun_allowed.ppt of Tenzin's airbending training.

Shame that Jinora never stood up and said "I can into spirits" and prevent all of the messy parts of Book 2.
I guess we can see intimate Korra with Asami in the comics or even the OVA or other game by Platinum.

>>1694965
>Korra was very happy to sit back and let Mako regale her with his exploits from the beat.
She wants to kick back and enjoy herself but still be an active Avatar. She escaped the compound to go learn, then probending became this forbidden fruit and Mako ignored her with just the right inflection in his victory that she was smitten.

Speaking of Tenzin and cockblocking, I can't be the only one thinking that after that scene in Remembrance Asami and Korra went out to have some fun in the city, just the two of them, right? Which I hope gets revealed in the comments too.

But he didn't though. He proved he was weak, his values were weak, and he needed TWO divine interventions to make it work. And he also managed to go through the entire series without changing as a character at all. It was bad writing, and worse, it was writing that wanted you to think it was really profound.

>>1694908
The Avatar's calling is apparently to "bring balance to the world". Rokku and Aang (though the latter was eventually was convinced otherwise by AtLA's protagonist) felt that this was primarily achieved by maintaining the four ancient nations. Yet Kyoshi was happy creating her own state, while letting one of the traditional nations fall into the hands of a tyrant. Korra has shown to be entirely open to new states being born, and also felt it was her duty to help stem the chaos that the EK fell into after Zaheer left the queen breathless.

How the remit to "bring balance" is interpreted is entirely up each Avatar, based on their own values. But values change with experience and circumstance. Just compare S1 Korra to finale Korra.

The issue is that Aang's values weren't up to the task and required a hell of a deus ex machina to allow them to be.

>>1695021
>It just seems like the worst of every world to me.

You're not alone in that sentiment.

>If I didn't know better, I'd say they were all being written by in-the-closet lesbians that just wanted to self insert.

Only some of them are in the closet. I read the first chapter of one particularly obnoxious college AU (before I learned to avoid them like the plague) where Opal was Korra's room mate and was a hilariously obvious SI.
>>
>>1695079
>(though the latter was eventually was convinced otherwise by AtLA's protagonist)
There's a new layer to Legend of Zuko every time I look.

On the subject of SI's, I wonder if this is where the "Korra and Asami are huge dorks in love" sentiment comes from? Korra was dorky about it in Book 1, but that was a long time ago. And Asami has always been really put together (if a bit starstruck when she first met Mako). Maybe the authors want them to be awkward dorks so they can identify with them better?
>>
>>1694964
>I just want Asami to see a more intimate Korra than Mako ever did. But that's just me.

They are. We're given big, grand gestures to show how in love Mako and Korra are ("Give her some space!", Korra unlocking airbending & the pair declaring their love for each other in the south pole), but no actual convincing intimacy besides one scene were Korra happily listens to and good naturedly compliments Mako's lame one liners. And even that devolved into an argument. Despite being "in love", their intimate moments are usually personal arguments or trying to put those arguments behind them.

Even if you ignore everything from Reunion, Remembrances and the finale, Korra's letter to Asami illustrated a level of intimacy and trust never seen between Mako and Korra.

It's almost like Korra was trying her best to be a supportive girlfriend and Mako sucked at reciprocating.

So how much time did Mako and Korra have to be boyfriend and girlfriend. I mean she was busy with healing RC and doing training and Mako became a cop, which is like THE shittiest job in terms of free time, and considering he has wokaholic tendencies...

>>1695091
>I think I've only seen 2 fan arts that made Korra look like an actual eskimo.
That one bit of official art that was done in a more realistic style looked a bit eskimo. Still wasn't completely eskimo. Which is fine, because Korra is a member of a nonexistent fantasy ethnicity.

As for free time...hard to say. Lin is really lenient with vacation time at least, apparently, since Mako accompanied Korra to the South Pole.
>>
>>1695081
>On the subject of SI's, I wonder if this is where the "Korra and Asami are huge dorks in love" sentiment comes from?

Perhaps a little. But a lot if it does come from people assuming Korra is still the last pastabender because of her Book One awkwardness. And it took Asami and Korra two seasons of teasing with a three year time skip for the pair to get together. This, along with Korra's blush/puppydog eyes makes them seem quite timid and shy about the relationship. And shyness in romance may as well be synonym for dorkiness.

Plus, I guess it's fun to imagine a beautiful demigod and genius billionaire acting like a pair of blushing teenagers, stumbling over themselves. I can understand that, even if it doesn't mesh with canon.
>>
>>1695096

B-but muh protagonist female WOC!

Yeah I guess it makes sense. I still don't like it and think it's missing the reasons in-universe for their development.

She's not really white however you slice it.

>Thing is Aang couldn't have talked down Ozai either. Ozai was cartoony even by cartoon standards. He had no personality beyond power forpower's sake.

So he was an irredeemable, murderous psychopath that couldn't possibly be rehabilitated? Well, at least it spares Aang conscience if he spends the next forty years in a cell...
>>
>>1695104
>So he was an irredeemable, murderous psychopath that couldn't possibly be rehabilitated?
The show makes a half-assed effort a couple of times to suggest that no one is really like that (except when it has the opposite message), but...yeah. That's how Ozai is depicted.
>>
>>1695102
>She's not really white however you slice it.

Oh, I know. I just have to roll my eyes whenever any character from Airbender or LoK is praised for being a POC, when there are no white people in the setting.
>>
>>1695107
Yeah good point. I mean like you said, there are no white people in the Avatar setting. Ginger is the only redhead in the world at the start of Book 2, and that comes from a bottle.

I guess you can still praise that if you want to, but that praise applies equally to every single character in the show.
>>
>>1695102
>Yeah I guess it makes sense. I still don't like it and think it's missing the reasons in-universe for their development.

Yep. I understand it, but I don't enjoy it. It's also one of the banes of my existence when trying to find good post-finale Korrasami fiction.
>>
>>1695109
Korra semi-confidently flirting and Asami being surprised and amused every time is way more cute anyway.
>>
>>1695108
Even though as I said, the world is a honky-free zone, I will concede that a casual viewer could look at Asami, Mako and Bolin in their roaring 20's city and assume they're white. That's not going to happen with Korra, blue eyes or not.
>>
>>1695098
>As for free time...hard to say. Lin is really lenient with vacation time at least, apparently, since Mako accompanied Korra to the South Pole.
He probably had to beg and swear off any vacation for two years and that he'll sleep under his desk.
>>
>>1695113
Book 1 Asami looks kinda Asian despite the green eyes actually. Though her character model kept changing through the series and it didn't stick.

>inb4 Lo-Pan
>>
>>1695114
He just let Lin ride him like a pony-dog and she OKed it.
>>
>>1695100
>Plus, I guess it's fun to imagine a beautiful demigod and genius billionaire acting like a pair of blushing teenagers, stumbling over themselves. I can understand that, even if it doesn't mesh with canon.
I'd say they'd be a bit shy and timid at first whenever they dive for another base I think.
>>
>>1695111
Korra: Hey Asami, you've got something on your lips.
Asami: Huh?
>Kiss
Korra: Me.

The more corny the lines, the better.
>>
>>1695106
Well maybe not in the first 5 seconds of his appearance in Season 3 where he greets zuko actually pretty fatherly and his voice sounds waaaaaay different from when he appears next in Day of the Black Sun.
>>
>>1695107
>Oh, I know. I just have to roll my eyes whenever any character from Airbender or LoK is praised for being a POC, when there are no white people in the setting.
You could say they are white-ish. Heh. But yeah they are all asians actually.
>>
>>1695116
>Mako lost his virginity to Lin before Korra got to do it
The front virginity that is. He probably pimped his ass out to some triad when he was still a street urchin.
>>
>>1695119
>Well maybe not in the first 5 seconds of his appearance in Season 3 where he greets zuko actually pretty fatherly and his voice sounds waaaaaay different from when he appears next in Day of the Black Sun.
Well yeah if he was obviously a psycho 24/7 he probably would be incapable of functioning as a leader.

But he's still a cackling villain 90% of his screen time.

Ozai is a giant missed opportunity. Especially after all that build up and Mark Hamill.
>>
>>1695123
I kind of imagine Mako and Korra fucked pretty early in their relationship honestly. It seemed largey physical in the first place, and Korra was not at her most patient in that part of her character arc.
>>
>>1695111
>>1695118
>Korra trying to be a smooth operator

This I can get behind. And if Asami's jaw drops at the corniness of a line, Korra wouldn't regress into a pastabender. She's comfortable enough with Asami that she'd probably just laugh.

>>1695119
Bryke really didn't know how they wanted to handle Ozai. I wonder if the pair of them never fully agreed on how he should be portrayed?
>>
>>1695124
Oh I hear you. Would if have killed them to make him more sympathetic?
They could've added major issues between him and Azulon. I mean that's what Bryke do all the time anyway.
>>
>>1695125
I have this funny mental image of whenever they tried to get around to it Tenzin or Bolin cockblocked them all the time.
>>
>>1695126
>This I can get behind. And if Asami's jaw drops at the corniness of a line, Korra wouldn't regress into a pastabender. She's comfortable enough with Asami that she'd probably just laugh.
Yeah I think Korra would know she's being kind of corny and just play it up for fun.

>>1695127
Or if they wanted him to be irredeemably evil, at least give Mark Hamill some fun hammy villain monologues to knock out of the park. Ozai had no good lines.
>>
>>1695128
That would kinda explain part of why Korra and Mako are both so high strung all the time when they're together, if they're all pent up, at least.

Realistically, it seems hard for that to go on for six fucking months straight, unless operating under some sort of divine curse.
>>

>Ozai had no good lines.

The only memorable (for the right reason) line I recall him having is during DotBS, when Zuko has him cornered, and he challenges Zuko to just kill him there. That was good.
>>
>>1695133
>General: "My Lord, you can't really be suggesting we just burn down the entire Earth Kingdom?"
>Ozai: "What's the matter, general? The idea too HOT for ya!? Eh?"
>>
>>1695137
I don't remember the line. I thought it was just "Why not kill me now" or something like that?

A valid question. The real answer is that that would kind of ruin the story. But it's fairly believable that Zuko just can't bring himself to murder his father. (And he would. Zuko would wreck Ozai in a nonbending fight, and the Eclipse was on.)
>>
>>1695135
I think kindling metaphor would be more appropriate
>>
>>1695137

That entire exchange seemed dumb to me. Compared to the obvious parallel of Palpatine trying to get Luke to strike him down, it makes no sense- if Ozai died then his empire would fall apart and his plans would be stopped. Contrast that with Sheev, who is a member of an order with an explicit goal of training an apprentice more powerful than the master. If he dies, he wins, but if Ozai dies, he loses.

The comics go a portion of the way into that ordeal. Then again it's the comics but much like how there will be people that were willingly loyal to Kuvira (everyone who cheered when she beat up Korra and were happy to take over Republic City) there are people who won't recognize Zuko.

Which is also probably (aside from that everyone needs something to do thing) why they had the White Lotus retake the established capital of the Earth Kingdom, put Azula on ice and told her to chill, and blindsided the blatant show of force that were the airships that could still operate even without a Fire Lord. Of course there's that whole sending a blind girl etc etc and old Masters to over there instead of etc etc and all those logistics, but the gist is there.

>>1695131

It's why Asami could never spend quality time with Korra. Tenzin was cockblocking Korra between Books 1 and 2. Tenzin has a mandate from heaven to keep his father's reincarnated womb pure and may only be opened for the most loyal and perfect individual in the world.

That reminds me- is it ever explained if waterbenders can bend any liquid, or just something that contains water, like blood or sweat? If you gave a waterbender pure alcohol or oil or something, could they actually do anything with it?

Well, shit... I'll drink to that.

And you're not wrong. I've noticed certain Anons from the way arguments are presented or just from their posting style.

Rewatchfag, and rewatchfag II, the two Anons that really like Asami and always insist that spirit world fics should go reaaaally slowly, that one neechan with a pathological hatred of Mako, the other one that always uses any excuse to mock Aang, grapple-chan, the Azulafag, that one anon that can't understand why we don't hate LoK as much as they do, autism-chan, and the sis that is tired of lewd handholding and just wants some family friendly porn. My thoughts are the Silent Hill neechans also come from the above.

I sympathize with you. I still have a couple of fanfic needs unfulfilled, even if they aren't the same as yours.

While a LOT of LoK fanfic is being produced, it sure as hell isn't very varied. I assumed it would get more varied after the shock of the ending passed. But it didn't. Instead of short, hyper-fluffy "Korra and Asami are girlfriends in the spirit world now" fics, we're flooded with "Korra is a jaz zsinger martial artist in the real world and she meets Asami, the nurse/stripper mechanic, also in the real world."

I'd think an EMT would have worse hours than a cop if anything. The EMT bit alone is enough to disqualify you from sex.

Anyone reading fanfiction is already in some degree in the "beggars can't be choosers" category. There's a reason these people aren't real authors.

The first thing I do when opening a korrasami fic is still hitting ctrl+f and typing "heiress"

What about "jade" or "cerulean"?

Do shitty fanfic authors really think that Asami has jade eyes? Or do they just think that jade is just another word for green?
>>
>>1695353
>What about "jade" or "cerulean"?
Too much effort. Besides, there's significant overlap between heavy epithet users and esoteric color users.

>Do shitty fanfic authors really think that Asami has jade eyes? Or do they just think that jade is just another word for green?
What do you think?

Her eyes are chartreuse, of course
>>
>>1695353
Jade actually has a pretty wide range, so you probably could match her eye color to some hue of jade. It doesn't make it's use any more excusable, but it's not inaccurate.
>>
>>1695357
Emeralds aren't even always green but I'm pretty sure people mean a specific shade of green when they use emerald.
>>
>>1695358
True. But green emeralds as a color and a gem have a pretty narrow range. Unlike green jade, which is very diverse, and is harder to pin down to a specific hue. Asami definitely does not have emerald colored eyes. She can have jade ones though. Even if that descriptor makes you barf.
>>
>>1695360
Fine. The descriptor does make me a little queasy though.

This is reminding me of the CEO conversation up thread where in theory the CEO descriptor can be accurate in certain situations, but in reality the fanfic writers are just writing it that way because they think anyone that runs a business is a CEO, and because they saw all the other LoK fanfic writers doing it.

And either way, both things are just emblematic of larger trends rather than the primary object of annoyance in and of themselves.

I am angry. Angry about fanfiction.
>>
>>1695361
Like most everyone else in this thread, I find the CEO thing much more annoying, as well as the heiress thing. Eye color I can forgive when used sparingly.

But yeah, misusing terms and bad writing habits adopted from other fic is a pretty big problem in fandom. Bad grammar is my immediate turn off though. And first person POV. I see "I" and I am outta there.

First person POV can be very fun and interesting in the hands of a skilled writer, which is why fanfiction writers should never touch it.

As if we needed more evidence that connecting the worlds is either negative or neutral at best. Something dangerous would just end up as more fuel for the fire, piled on from Book 3 Republic City criticism and the P* vidya that constantly had Korra doubt herself and was capped by not-Lo Pan Steve Blum cackling up a storm.

If the plot's end is towards something overall positive rather than restoring the main character, then at least it would bring something different. Though would it be like Devil May Cry where you already start the game able to do crazy stuff in the cutscenes but can't do anything in-game unless you get good?

And what would Asami do? Besides the obvious; remember this would still be a Nickelodeon thing so her doing the thing couldn't be a thing since the thing was never put to the table until the end and it was so big of a thing that the crew didn't even want to present the thing for some reason.

thanks.

If I was designing a co-op Korra/ Asami video game I would have Asami make use of her various piloting skills and back up Korra in both versions of the mecha tank, planes, satomobiles and have them do a tandom butterfly mech sequence. That sort of stuff is right in Platinum's wheelhouse too just look at Bayonetta or wonderful 101. I'd also have Asami have missions like rescue missions or stealing documents for a new invention using stealth and her shock glove to take out guards and picking locks with her hairpins. A stealth section could rely on Korra creating a distraction big enough to call out most of the mooks in an area and Asami sneaking in and either sabotaging key machinery or stealing documents ect.
But yeah the spirit world would not be my setting for most of the game. It would be fine if Asami and Korra happen to hear a conversation about the plot of the game during their vacation though. Perhaps a planned assassination of the fire lord? Then the game could be set in an area we haven't seen much of in the series.

With Korra flatly square against Asami's bladed posture, whoever closes the gap will decide where this leads.

>>1693456
A high back take. Notice how she pins Korra's arms to her ribs with Asami's thighs to secure the choke.

>>1693476
You can never go wrong with chest-to-chest contact.

Restricting Asami from moving to her left, Korra feeds Asami the armbar, waiting to sweep Asami onto her buttocks and hopefully stuff a thigh between her legs for halfguard.

The spinning back kick in action, with optional skirt flip. Note the toes pointed down, which is the proper form for a spinning back, not side, kick.

>>1693774
Korra opens Asami's guard, and Asami underhooks Korra's right side. Asami's left leg has butterfly guard or is supporting Korra's vulva, which means Asami can set up the old-school sweep by lifting Korra's hips up to Asami's chest, and up and over Asami's face, should she take that COA (course of action).

>>1693797
Korra uses her pelvis to push against Asami's bum, and loving hands to pull Asami in toward her crotch, to further stabilize Asami's posture. Note the lower , which indicates the love of friendship shared between Friend Korra and Friend Asami to produce a powerful cello performance.

For the giant crowd gathered to watch these two masters.

As if Korra is going alone. Mako will once again take off from work, Bolin will get another gig doing who knows what + Opal tag along, and Asami will provide transport and stay in the background while Bolin makes Jazz hands and tells jokes while Varrick goes on and on about how happy he is with Zhu Li.

On a more happy note, Asami is not about to stay behind especially since Future Industries proved it can function without her being behind a desk in Book 3. Though it seems the revitalization of the city didn't happen until she was back and Korra left for those years.
Korra could always work on her spirit sense and attune it to Asami so that the latter can know when she is being looked up at designated times in the day and have conversations with Korra. Long distance (not)astral projection.

>I think Mako got an appropriate amount of screentime in Book 3 and Book 4.

Most of his time on both seasons was spent being the foil to a "comic relief" character, neither of which were funny or merited as much screentime as they got (though I concede Wu did deserve at least some time). When the comedy isn't remotely amusing, and neither character is interesting, a watered down boke and tsukkomi routine is not what I want to see in muh sad waifu magic fighting show.

And frustratingly, he apparently underwent major character development during the timeskip, and despite him appearing far more than Asami, Tenzin or Lin in the final season, this development isn't even suggested until episode eight.

We sort of already got that monarchy was not the best way from what we got of the Earth Queen and even Unalaq, plus from what we know from AtLA. Having an "also a bad choice" in Wu didn't add much aside from Wu apparently getting more character development than Bolin in 3 books.

I don't know. Did Zaheer ever kill Wolverine?

>>1695742
>Having an "also a bad choice" in Wu didn't add much aside from Wu apparently getting more character development than Bolin in 3 books.

True. But Bryke wanted Wu to have an arc, and I'm not going to complain about that. But it's definitely true that his scenes were overlong and almost never funny.

Varrick, for all we complain about his excess screentime, is at least entertaining. Also, in being his straight man, Bolin was finally funny (once or twice). Making me laugh at Bolin is an amazing feat.
>>
>>1695754
>Did Zaheer ever kill Wolverine?
Maybe. Did Zaheer kill Sokka?

Naw, they use Chinese characters in Avatarverse. Much more compact.

>>
>>1695697
Mako's stuff with his family in Book 3 was fine and worth the screen time. As was about 1/2 to 2/3rds of his time with Wu.

If anyone needs cutting, it's Bolin and MUH VARRICK.

>>1695742
Wu was needed to add a personal side to the incompetent monarch, and to verify that Hu-Ting was not a fluke.

The singing badger moles bit was not really necessary though.

Perhaps I got my words wrong. Would either would/should imply it's gone, baby, gone? Women have been known to have that sign of virginity removed from play from different kinds of play: sports and combat for example. Of which both women would be subject to from an early age.

And I'm going off of how they things will apparently move fast going with what >>1694301 states is the norm, apparently. Korra's probably allergic to one of the desserts and will probably react negatively to it anyway.

Actually, I think we're both right? "Would be" can both imply "in place of" or "at that place." Sorry sis, sometimes my grammar is for shit. But I get what you meant now.

I knew this would happen... let's see if I can do this without giving up in frustration.

Autism attends to hinder one social processes and in the high functioning spectrum (I'm in) enhances or priorities the development of ones logic and cognitive abilities. Which is considered a boon in most cases. Excepted when it goes to the extreme, where we get our most associated and common depictions in media eg: Rain man.

Dyslexia on the other hand effects ones ability to process info, be it internal or external, but enhances the minds ability to think in manners most do not. Such as specula or the abstract, the creative side of things.

So on one hand I'm creative, but on the other I am stubbornly logical... the two sides don't often get along, and both have distinct ways in which to process information. One flawed(dyslexia) and the other hyper specialised(autism).

Autism tends to focus all faculties to one thing, where as dyslexia makes it so the mind can't focus on this or something... I'm really starting to sweat now.

Basically, my dyslexia prevents me from expressing myself on an intellectual level, and my high functioning autism prevents me from expressing myself on a social or emotional level.

...and anything with words is a bitch! and I plan on doing philosophy too, as I am literally wired for it. Suffering is the artist.

Nee-chan meant that Zuko's (the protag) kid was such a minor not while the support character's (Aang) kid became Korra's mentor.
It's related to one of our favorite jokes.

Snuff, as Asami is seen using with bulging cheeks here, can lead to detrimental health effects: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus#Health_consequences , but grown adults should be free to do what they like, as long as they are aware of the risks.

The more glaring flaw that people are quick to dismiss the whole show about is the "teenybopper nonsense" of which she is public enemy number 1 since she hurt Bolin's feelings and didn't kowtow to Asami in Book 1 and then played the fool to Mako's "I'm correct" perspective. That flaw is something that stuck around and was compounded but the other "things she did wrong" throughout the series.

Posture is the biggest indicator of what is happening to bodies. Note the hunching over of Korra's torso; coupled with the almost desperate looking grip of Korra's hand, and the how Asami's left hand is not shown what it's doing, the artist leaves a tantalizing gap for the viewer's minds to fill.

>>1696130
>1st pic (long urls are long)
Lovely bearhug from behind by Korra. Asami looks to unclasp the grip, what every proper takedown defensive artist should look to do when in this situation. To prevent Korra from mounting Asami's back and wrapping her arms around the neck, Asami should turn to face her as she works on the hands.

If Korra has an underhook on her right side, we are seeing an example of intimate pummeling. To get a deeper embrace or kiss going, sometimes angles are needed, which is where swapping over/unders can assist. Note the chest to chest AND hip to hip contact.

Sometimes tall fighters use their height and reach advantages well, and some squander it. There are special scholar-athletes that understand the distance game well, and can engage in all ranges of combat. What we're seeing is the nascent stage of Asami's height game (possibly in an unaired scene from Remembrances), from which she will learn that level changes >>1694300 will work wonders.

A clothed correspondence to >>1692054. The popping bust supported by vest and bifurcated by short tie does well to accentuate the tipped fedora covering the right eye, paralleling the crooked smirk. A small glimmer from the pocket chain contrasts well with the matching flats and pants, clearly custom tailored to not crease heavily when Korra spreads her legs for Asami as shown here.

This display of assertive sexual invitation does not go unnoticed, as Asami's blush does not seem cosmetic. The coffee table between the two ladies - spotted with shine from the lights or opiates, we cannot ascertain - is the only thing in the way of Asami's appropriate response to Korra's aggressive posture.

firebending actually has some kind of 'combustion' and some 'power' in it, it was always like that. Remember that people can use firebending to fly if they are strong enough.

the only thing that got extremely inconsistent was airbending in season 3 of LoK.
>>
>>1696262
Asami brought Korra tea under the excuse that she thought Korra might be cold. Korra grew up in the south fucking pole and is a fire and airbender, both styles have techniques that can be used to regulate temperature.
>>
>>1696268
using firebending didn't help zuko in the north pole

tea is easier and more refreshing. You want to help a friend, that's how you do it. If it was in any other pretext, it was because she wanted to talk with korra. Something that friends often do.

>>1696269
Zuko was a shitty firebender at that time. Also airbending is still a thing.

After she hurt Bolin's feelings she stopped pursuing Mako though, and encouraged Mako to be with Asami. It was a good demonstration of both Korra's initial immaturity and her growing maturity throughout the book.

How so?

Remember there are two X factors here in the bending seen on screen in Book 3

1. Zaheer is talented, but completely inexperiencd. He also uses a pretty different style for the most part instead of airbending forms.

2. The ending involves cooperative airbending, something we've seen before for other elements (mostly Earth though), but never air, on account of their being only one of them in the first series.
>>
>>1696293
>hey, you're the one saying it was a 'quality relationship'

>using firebending didn't help zuko in the north pole
It did actually. Remember when he dove into a fucking tunnel through the arctic ice? If he were normal, he'd have lost all muscle control within about a minute and drowned.

He just can't do that forever, and trekking DEEPER into the Arctic ice with Aang on his back turned out to be a really dumb idea.

i'm talking about how korra stops a fuckin' explosion with airbend; shards and everything. How bumi without any experience basically 'fly' in the first episode. Zaheer defeating everyone was a little strange but we even could ignore it, but pushing to season 4 now, opal stops an entire army (that doesn't even bother to earthbend against her).

oh and the 'air bending teamwork' thing, it is strange how they not only 'aim' the air, but make it 'suck' zaheer. Conventional airbending just push stuff.

so yeah, very inconsistent.

let me put it this way, there are scenes you can say that are friendship, and others that you can say are romantic. Both are very different and one doesn't mean the other.

What about the air scooter? Or how Tenzin used it to make a bubble of breathable air out of gas? Or how Zaheer created a vacuum around a lady's head and suck out the air she held in her lungs?

Actually, he's been popping in and out for a while (if never for long), and is only interested in Korrasami for the most base level porn (unlike porn-neechan, who wants porn to supplement the feels). He seems offended that anyone should derive enjoyment from characters' onscreen chemistry (which he'll vehemently denies exists). He's a strange fish.
>>
>>1696327
throw a rock and fluids off it's course is ok, and considering he was a master on airbending and had a lot of time to buildup his attack. The problem is how Korra manage to even redirect shards of an explosion, the most dangerous part, considering how little they would be affected by the flow of air. Not only that it was a very big explosion and she does that in a fraction of seconds, without time to even wave her arms right.

i think zaheer creating vacuum was just his thing, 'a whole new level of bending' or stuff like that. And the 'air scooter' works by throwing air around i believe, otherwise it wouldn't go anywhere

the sandstorm was avatar state if i remember correctly and still, it is just sand. Notice that it didn't even have power to throw people off-balance.

With the giant catapult rocks, all he did was whack it with his stick.

I like the elaborate headcanon you have for why whenever Aang does anything new it's totally consistent and elaborating on the world building, but whenever Korra does something remotely novel it's VIOLATING MUH AVATAR LORE.

Maybe Korra was bending multiple elements at once to get the debris out of the way. I better check the Avatar Wiki to see if that's allowed in that specific scenario though. I don't want to look like an underqualified Avatar loremaster.

back to the series, get the example of Mako... what was the first thing that she did when she was attracted by him? she tells her friends "oh, i'm attracted by that guy, what should i do?". That is one way of showing it and it worked ok. Doesn't have to say it directly to the person.

actually, benders uses 'weapons' to help them with bending. It has been shown all over ATLA, so yeah his stick helps him on bending. And no, she wasn't using other elements, she just airbended with one hand and Poof, no damage at all. Just saying that it was very inconsistent when you consider what airbenders were able to do before.

Prove it.
>>
>>1696399
if it Didn't provide a power up there would be no reason to use it. And again, aang constantly uses his glider to airbend. If it had no power up he could simply use his hands since it would even be better against other benders not to have a stick in his hand.
>>
>>1696407
>if it Didn't provide a power up there would be no reason to use it.
Variety in fights to keep them from getting stale.

Mostly because it's useful for gliding and already in his hands.
>>
>>1696405
> Prove it.

we... watched it. She was still new to metalbending, and i doubt she could even react to the shards. Not only that, there was only one movement. Saying that she did anything 'in the smoke' is already After the explosion, when the damage has already been done.
>>
>>1696409
>we... watched it.
So did I.

>and i doubt she could even react to the shards.
That's your headcanon.

> Not only that, there was only one movement.
Irrelevant. We've seen the Avatar do bending with tons of movement and with no movement, in both series.
>>
>>1696407
I think it is more technique than anything else.

It give the bender something to focus on, and allow for a different effect in their bending they could not achieve normally, rather than a power up.
>>
>>1696412
It being a focus for some weird exotic style seems plausible. Like Kiyoshi/Kiyoshi Warriors and the fans. Incorporating another martial art into the bending and using those movements instead of the traditional ones.
>>

fucking Nick
>>
>>1696408
> Variety in fights to keep them from getting stale

following your logic they didn't add. different styles in bending because you actually need to wave your arms differently to bend each element, but only to make it look cool. The way you do it changes the result, that's the most logical explanation.

> Mostly because it's useful for gliding and already in his hands

it would get in the way of his fighting. He could just drop it, or put it in his back. But he takes it to fight and airbend. I could argue that in some episodes he did a stronger airbend with his glider, but don't wanna look for them now.
>>
>>1696415
>following your logic they didn't add. different styles in bending because you actually need to wave your arms differently to bend each element, but only to make it look cool.
Bingo.

Since psychic bending is a thing if you're good enough, the movements are a focus at best. Different traditional styles developed due to different traditions in geographic isolation.

>it would get in the way of his fighting.
Not if it's incorporated into the fighting style in Air Nomad indoctrination camp.
>>
>>1696411

> That's your headcanon.

you have no idea how fast shards goes in an explosion, right? unless she has some kind of superhuman reaction and speed she couldn't bend those shards and then airbend

> Irrelevant. We've seen the Avatar do bending with tons of movement and with no movement

in the avatar state, maybe. Something that she didn't use if i remember correctly. And bending without movement is 'weaker', something that add. to the inconsistency when she only starts to wave one arm and deflects an entire explosion.
>>
>>1696413
For the longest time I always headcannoned that Kyoshi had trouble airbending and still did, but the fans acted as a channel or link to airbending for her so she adopted them to her use. And then they became more than just airbending compliments, but a way to fight with for the warriors who fangirled her.
>>
>>1696418
>you have no idea how fast shards goes in an explosion, right?
Tell me how fast they're going in this explosion, demolitions expert.

She might have blinked into it briefly, I can't remember.

>And bending without movement is 'weaker', something that add. to the inconsistency when she only starts to wave one arm and deflects an entire explosion.
Ah more "it conflicts with my headcanon about how bending works, so it's inconsistent".
>>
>>1696419
Using fans to overcome some mental block she had with Airbending (she doesn't seem like the Airbender type, really) is a nifty head canon.

Thing is, doesn't she also incorporated them into, well, all of her bending? Including Earthbending? Although I guess the fucking Avatar can invent a new bending tradition if they want.
>>
>>1696412
'focusing' your bending can be the explanation for the 'power up', like the 'air is hitting now in one spot instead of scattering' or 'you can bend More air like that'. If it didn't provide any kind of power in your bending i don't think they would hold on to the weapons that much.

i could Still argue that in a lot of episodes his bending was stronger because of the glider but i really don't wanna look that up right now. There is one episode that he hits his glider in the ground and everyone is blown away, but i can't remember of anything else right now. He also uses it to fight zuko for the first time.
>>
>>1696427
>He also uses it to fight zuko for the first time.
Doesn't he get his ass kicked there and mostly just tries to run away until the Avatar State kicks in on its own?

(A maneuver so ubiquitous in Aang's early career that later Avatars would come to call it "Pulling an Aang")
>>
>>1696427
>If it didn't provide any kind of power in your bending i don't think they would hold on to the weapons that much.
They don't. Very few benders in either series use any auxiliary equipment in their bending. A notable exception being the RCPD metalbenders, for obvious reasons.
>>
>>1696416
psychic bending is weaker. The movement actually helps in the 'power' of the bending.

> Not if it's incorporated into the fighting style in Air Nomad indoctrination camp

no... objectively speaking it would be in his way. Some guy firebends at you; the time you get to move your glider to avoid that firblast and the time you take to do it only with your hands can cost your life, considering you can bend just as well without it. He doesn't exactly use his glider to hit people, only to airbend, and if it didn't provide any kind of power i doubt anyone would use it only to 'look cool' or 'follow tradition'.
>>
>>1696431
>psychic bending is weaker. The movement actually helps in the 'power' of the bending.
Find me a source in either series that says that.

It's just a popular headcanon.

>Some guy firebends at you; the time you get to move your glider to avoid that firblast and the time you take to do it only with your hands can cost your life, considering you can bend just as well without it.
That doesn't stop any of the other huge flourishes they do in their martial arts. Nothing about the fights in ATLA are practical, generally speaking.

>and if it didn't provide any kind of power i doubt anyone would use it only to 'look cool' or 'follow tradition'.
Very few people use it.

And again, they're using a bunch of East Asian martial arts styles filled with unnecessary shit designed to look cool.

>>1696420
> Tell me how fast they're going in this explosion, demolitions expert

enough that the naked eye can't get to it. You can't even see the frags on the explosion of a grenade, what to say that much explosive. This simply takes common sense.

> She might have blinked into it briefly, I can't remember.

that requires a lot of assumption, but no actual proof that she did it. We can only count on what we saw. If they wanted to hint on avatar state they would have show it after the explosion.

> Ah more "it conflicts with my headcanon about how bending works, so it's inconsistent"

it is weaker. Bumi could only move the earth very little with it when he was in a cage, and even so he needed to move his head a little. And he is one of the best benders. Some could argue the armless girl, but she did used her water to make the movement of arms and the movement of her entire body to bend so it is questionable if it counts. All other instances of psychic bending were simply weak, like toph moving dices and etc.
>>
>>1696428
he defeats zuko even having little experience in combat at that point. I'd say that the glider really helped.
>>
>>1696429
i wouldn't say that the police in RC uses 'weapons'. They simply carry metal the same way an water bender would carry his water to bend if he ever goes somewhere without water.

The fact is, the ones who does use weapons, use them all the time. Perhaps we don't see much of other benders using weapons because there aren't really that much that would need or that know how to use them. Perhaps they simply didn't had any other ideas of weapons that could help bending. Just consider that the fan and the glider are basically for airbenders and Aang was the last airbender.
>>
>>1696427
Perhaps it is a mental crutch as well. 'I am stronger with this stick', 'This stick gives me power'. Along with it focusing the bending technique.

>>1696413
>>1696419
That makes a lot of sense. Especially given that air is her opposite.

>>1696422
It makes sense to incorporate one tool into all other forms as well. To turn a weakness into a strength.

>>1696436
Bumi had a difficult time bending a little of earth with his mind, and he is one of the bests. The problem is that you Can't find a strong bending example with psychic bending (without considering avatar state, that i don't even think shows us a lot of it).

> That doesn't stop any of the other huge flourishes they do in their martial arts. Nothing about the fights in ATLA are practical, generally speaking

practical inside their bending, i'd say. If you consider punching someone's throat in a kid's show that is another thing.

>. Bumi could only move the earth very little with it when he was in a cage, and even so he needed to move his head a little.
He moved quite a lot of Earth with it actually. Also if he's moving his face, I don't think it actually counts as psychic bending.

>Some could argue the armless girl, but she did used her water to make the movement of arms and the movement of her entire body to bend so it is questionable if it counts.

Bumi didn't have a very difficult time. And he wasn't bending with his mind, he was bending with his face.

Also Amon, Ming-Hua.

it is the closest you can get. Consider that Even moving, he didn't move a lot of earth and did a lot of effort.

pretty much. Anyway they never really show her doing something extraordinary with her bending.

he used movement, had to touch people and whatever. Actually it is hard to say what's going on when he takes the bend of people, if it takes a lot of effort or not, so no proof here of a strong psychic bending.

> Tenzin is a badass grandmaster Airbender and he rarely ever uses it.

why carry a 'weapon' in times of peace? he just doesn't have one because he normally doesn't need one. You don't need to have a more powerful bending to redirect shots from a catapult or something. Actually most of the times he fights, he is taken by surprise.
>>
>>1696452
>look at the Size of the explosion and compare,
I don't think you can judge shrapnel velocity just from looking at the size of an explosion and knowing nothing about the composition of the explosive used, conditions in the room, the objects involved, and etc. But I'm not a demolitions expert like you.

> but are you really implying that she could metalbend countless metal shards going at high speed while airbending and having no experience in metalbend, in a fraction of a second?
Aang could divert huge torrents of lava with no earthbending. Why not?

>my arguments are based on things that occurred on-screen
No, they're based on assumptions you made while watching ATLA, ignoring what's on screen where it contradicts your interpretation.

>it is the closest you can get.
No, the closest you can get is actually doing it. He explicitly says he uses his face.

>he didn't move a lot of earth and did a lot of effort.
He moved the amount of earth needed to get him out of the box.

>pretty much.
But that makes no sense, even within your own headcanon.

>Anyway they never really show her doing something extraordinary with her bending.
Almost all of her fights are extraordinary. Remember when she spider-manned her way to the incest twins effortlessly then froze them, also effortlessly, in huge quantities of water? And that's just her first real fight.

Hell, her bending at all is extraordinary. She has no goddam arms.

>he used movement, had to touch people and whatever.
Watch season 1 again. This is far from universal. In particular, he masters blood bending without motion and uses it extensively in the flashback. They also imply he's been using subtle versions of it in every fight he'd been in up to that point to fuck up regular benders.
>>

>>1696458
It worked for Aang as a tie to his culture and to go with that trickster nature they had going for him here and there. I recall talk about Sun Wukong when describing influences and that character is shown having a staff. So Aang's glider can be used as a staff weapon. Also in keeping with the unique bending styles before the punch bending that the brothers corrupted Korra with and the other children.

you're saying that the Force that the explosion will throw the shards will be different because of the composition of the explosive, and not because of the.. explosion itself? the fact is, it was big, and even a little explosion like a grenade can throw fragments very fast.

> Aang could divert huge torrents of lava with no earthbending. Why not?

i see no problem in changing the course of a fluid considering airbending can blow a person away.

> No, they're based on assumptions you made while watching ATLA

aren't we talking about the explosion in LoK?

> No, the closest you can get is actually doing it

well, no one really does that then. Amon moves his arms and touches people to use his bending, and the armless girl moves her body. It is just really as close as it gets. But you can simply consider it does not exist if there is any movement, it is up to you.

> But that makes no sense, even within your own headcanon

she also uses the movement of her body, if that makes you happy, and it is not completely psychic bending. She never really moves a large quantity of water, tsunami-like, how katara could do it with half her age. Anyway the main argument is if Korra could use it at that time, and the answer is no. And about amon, if he could simply bloodbend without movement from a distance like his father could (what doesn't necessarily means that it needs a lot of effort), he could simply do it to take bending from people from a distance. Actually, he could just walk around without his mask, get near people and take their bending without anyone noticing or kill them silently. Fact is, anything stronger than that would need movement.
>>
>>1696461
> See the above post

> So why do you need it for a handful of wooden and metal splinters?

i never said you need it to redirect metal shards; i said it was impossible to do, no matter what she used at that time. She didn't have time to react, and even if she had, the way air works through shards is different. They would just pass through any airbending.

> Militant death cultists.

Stop pretending you know fuck all about the physics of explosions. You're embarrassing yourself.

>i see no problem in changing the course of a fluid considering airbending can blow a person away.
So we're back to mass. Metal and wooden splinters have very little mass. You know what has a lot of mass? Molten rock.

>aren't we talking about the explosion in LoK?
Which you're saying is inconsistent with the rest of the franchise. I can and have used examples from ATLA (part of the same franchise) to demonstrate that you are mistaken.

>well, no one really does that then.
Wrong

>Amon moves his arms and touches people to use his bending,
Wrong (at least some of the time)

> and the armless girl moves her body.
Wrong.

Also there's the fact that Bumi explicitly said he is using his face, and not doing it psychically. And all the times people psychically bend in the Avatar State while serenely floating around.

>she also uses the movement of her body,
Yeah. In your head, she does. Not on screen.

>She never really moves a large quantity of water, tsunami-like, how katara could do it with half her age.
She does some pretty impressive volumes at Air Temple Island, and freezes a huge quantity at the North Pole. She's rarely over open water though, no, which limits her ammo.

>Anyway the main argument is if Korra could use it at that time, and the answer is no.
Says your headcanon.

> if he could simply bloodbend without movement from a distance like his father could
He can, and does, as I have pointed out.

> he could simply do it to take bending from people from a distance.
A specialized sub-technique for a very specific application.

And yeah even a tiny amount of blood bending would cause likely lethal clotting events and aneurysms. But that wouldn't make a very good show.

Which is a shit answer.

>i never said you need it to redirect metal shards; i said it was impossible to do, no matter what she used at that time. She didn't have time to react, and even if she had, the way air works through shards is different. They would just pass through any airbending.
Yeah powerful gusts of air can't redirect light, small, sharp objects.

Even though that's exactly what happens in an explosion. Or a tornado. Or a fucking dust devil.
>>
>>1696477
>She didn't have time to react,
Except she did. As seen on screen, she began bending and shouting just prior to the explosion. That's a reaction.
>>

>>
>>1696479
i know if a force push stuff at X speed, and you make a bigger force, it will push stuff at least X+something speed. It's really not that difficult.

> So we're back to mass

no, we are at Area of contact and fluidity. That's exactly what airbending needs to take into account to work.

> I can and have used examples from ATLA (part of the same franchise) to demonstrate that you are mistaken

you do realize saying there is some part in ATLA that is Also inconsistent (that you couldn't prove) doesn't mean the other part that i'm saying in LoK cannot have inconsistencies.

About amon i said it in another post; if he really could simply psychic bend, he wouldn't even need to touch people to take their bending away. He could simply take his mask and kill people he needed to without making a movement and no one would notice. Most likely his psychic bending, if existent, is weaker than his bending with movement to the point he has to use movement to fight. Again, bumi using his face had a hard time bending, what to say without moving anything.

> Yeah. In your head, she does. Not on screen.

she uses the movement of her body All the time to bend. Bending without movement is just that, Without any movement, isn't it? pay attention; she moves her body "like it would be if she had arms". The movement in bending is not only waving the arms.

> She does some pretty impressive volumes at Air Temple Island, and freezes a huge quantity at the North Pole

i'd say impressive in form, considering the low quantity of water she actually bended, but it is not the 'mini-tsunami' level or anything like that. Again, to move even that not-so-impressive quantity of water she still used her body.

> He can, and does, as I have pointed out

as i said, not as strong, not enough to make a difference at least. He doesn't do that while fighting, and when he needs simply because he can't do it with the necessary strength.
>>
>>1696490
Alright, I give up. It's nothing but "I am a demolitions expert" "I know more about bending than the writers" and willful ignorance of any conflicting argument. I have nothing to do but doing literally nothing is still better than this shit.

You did it Anon. You proved you were a bigger sperg than me.
>>
>>1696481
no, it can't. No matter how powerful the gust it depends on the area of contact, that is not big in metal shards. Not that they would get to this speed, but think of it like a bullet but with even less area of contact. No way airbending can redirect something that fast.
>>
>>1696482
i mean react enough to metalbend the shards since this was the starting argument, not to the explosion itself.
>>

it's simple physics, but consider what i already said; you're saying that Korra can react to and metalbend without a movement countless, little fast shards while airbending an explosion to protect her entire crew without the avatar state. Are you really saying this is not inconsistent?

Yes. But it would have started for her airbending and developed from there in such a way that the Kyoshi Warriors used them for combat to emulate her. The warriors wouldn't know about the origin of why Kyoshi started to use them for everything, just know that they are functional.

Korra was always the best thing about the show. But is was early season four where she came into her own and I fell for her like my name was Sato.
>>
>>1697058
I think Korra was my waifu long before this (she really shone in season 3). I just didn't realize it until Book 4.

Of course not, we know from the show he despises poor people.

Actually reading between the lines, Hiroshi was poor for a significant part of his life.

My headcanon is that Asami was actually pretty poor as a young girl and that Hiroshi got rich later in life. Her mother was killed by that one firebender because they were in the bad part of town back then.

>But that scene with all the luggage in Book 1 is classic spoiled rich girl

Poor people that have become rich LOVE owning tons of shit. I've seen it in real life. They also tend to develop really bad spending habits because they've never had so much money before.

I dunno, neechan. They look pretty well-to-do in that photograph of babby Asami with Hiroshi and Yasuko.

>So like Korra with Asami?
Yeah more or less. I suppose looking at it, you could make the case that Korra was waifufagging Asami pretty hard all through Book 3, she just didn't realize it.

>No, no. Kuvira certainly crushed on Hiroshi, though
Too soon

Wish I could post some pics but definitely. Particularly the way she praised Asami to Tonraq. That was some grade-A waifufagging.

>Too soon

>tfw no Korra to hold you lovingly until the tears stop
>>
>>1697079
Asami crying has a 50/50 chance of starting Korra crying in a tear fueled chain reaction.

They're gonna need a lot of tissues.

I've gotta wonder what kind of dad Hiroshi was. Asami seemed to love him and trust him unconditionally in Book 1, but he was able to hide his near genocidal rage from her pretty well. It's a weird relationship.
>>
>>1697075
I considered that. I suppose you can headcanon it either way.

If it's true though, might it explain why Asami seems to have no friends her age? No matter how wealthy Hiroshi gets, the old money of the world and RC would consider the Satos to be upjumped non bending labourers.

I am now imagining Hiroshi backing the Fire Ferrets, not just to cover his Equalist ties, but because he enjoyed hearing old traditionalist kung-fu wizards rant about how it was

I was seriously considering exactly this last night but I think it'll be even harder to convince my gf to dress up to look more like asami.

Also I've never done it before but those fake tans go orange before they get to korras colour don't they?

I'd also have to do some pretty serious working out if I wanted to take this seriously. I just can't compete with dat korra tone.
>>
>>1697100
>I'm not the only one here who thought shipping asami and korra in season 1 was insane and even more so by season 2 until everything changed when season 3 attacked right?
Nope. Korrasami was the crackest of ships in book 1 especially.

Some peoples minds started to change in Book 3. As for myself, I didn't really give it a second glance until the Book 3 finale. That scene with Asami after the poisoning seemed kind of charged, on Asami's end.Though I figured they were just teasing the shippers.

Then book 4 happened, and...I still thought they were just teasing the shippers, but was shocked at how hard and consistently they kept at it.

Then the finale happened and my brain stopped working because what I was seeing should not be possible.

Holy shit guys Korrasami is canon and I can't even
>>
>>1697102
>Also I've never done it before but those fake tans go orange before they get to korras colour don't they?
Not if you get a really good one. Really good ones go straight to bronze. Though Korra's color in Book 3 at least after the palette change is deeper even than that, it suffices for Book 1 Korra. But good ones are expensive.

If you can't convince your GF to do it though, what's the point? Though maybe if she saw you were that into it, who knows...

>I'd also have to do some pretty serious working out if I wanted to take this seriously. I just can't compete with dat korra tone.
You should do that anyway. You'll live longer and be happier and shit.
>>
>>1697104
I'll keep that info in the back of my mind. It would be a lot easier for me to do asami since I look somewhat like her. My gf would make an even worse korra.

Is it bad that part of me just wants to find a korra like girl at any cost to fulfill my fantasies?

You're also right about working out. Buff girls are always hotter after all.
>>
>>1697100
>>1697103
I came into LoK late and had already heard people talking about Korrasami before I watched. Suffice it to say, by the end of season one, I'd completely put it out of mind.

>everything changed when season 3 attacked right?

Exactly. While I always enjoyed their screentime together in the first two seasons, seeing them being together without the love-triangle albatross around their necks, was, like the ep was called, a breath of fresh air. And there wasn't a scene between them in book three that I didn't enjoy.

>I didn't really give it a second glance until the Book 3 finale.

Asami's enraptured stare in Zao Fu was the eye opener for me.

>Then the finale happened and my brain stopped working because what I was seeing should not be possible.

Incidentally, when did you KNOW it was happening? Some viewers seemed not to realise until the handhold, while others realised when Korra asked Asami to away with her. And a lot seemed to cotton on the moment they heard "Excuse me, Tenzin."

For me, it was the moment Mako told Korra he'd have her back.

>Holy shit guys Korrasami is canon and I can't even

This still happens to me.
>>
>>1697109
>Is it bad that part of me just wants to find a korra like girl at any cost to fulfill my fantasies?
No, base lust is part of anyone.

It's only bad if you actually abandon your GF for some random dyke that looks vaguely like Korra for the sole purpose of acting out a specific fantasy.
>>
>>1697110
>Asami's enraptured stare in Zao Fu was the eye opener for me.
Yeah but you actually knew to look for it. I saw that episode before the finale, so most of the Korrasami stuff was crack shippers at that point, which I'd learned to tune out.

>Incidentally, when did you KNOW it was happening?
When Asami showed up, lied to Tenzin to get a minute alone with Korra, and I realized there was only a few minutes of episode left.

I started smiling like a retard from there till the last scene.
>>
>>1697110
I accidentally saw some of the shit storm about the finale before I watched the ep. It was weird because I has just woken up and instinctively loaded up some sites while waiting for it to finish torrenting and I just didn't see any of it coming.

I saw something about a gay ending so i closed it right out and thought to my self the entire last two eps "they didn't right? They would never do something this great right?"

Oh.

I started when Book 2 was airing myself. I'd just watched ATLA for the first time a few months before and neglected to watch Legend of Korra because I heard it was bad, or at least a huge step down. I finally got curious though and ended up really liking it. I get the impression marathoning Book 1 and immediately going into Book 2 is a much better experience than watching Book 1 in isolation.
>>
>>1697138
>implying Korra wouldn't start abusing asami when being the avatar got too tough.
>>
>>1697134
Thanks anon. You've given me the inspiration to at least try.
>>
>>1697143
I'm different from you gals. I watched atla a month or so before korra started then watched every episode of korra as it came out. Season one felt like it was a kind of shitty reboot but tolerable enough that I could stick with it. But then season 2 came and by that time I was such a fan of the original series even though the season was so bad I couldn't drop the show yet.

When I heard that season 4 would take place in the earth kingdom i was pretty excited to see how it changed over the years but didn't think too much of it and figured the show would fall into obscurity and die or even worse fall to the level of the movie.

...but it didn't and here we are.
>>
>>1697146
Just don't force it on your partner. That can cause stress. Try to ease her into it. Indulging someone else's sexual fantasy is kind of a big deal.

Naturally, you owe her for this if she does (though it should never be thought of or discussed out loud in these terms, unless you want a fight) and should be happy to indulge her in some way in return.
>>
>>1697147
I don't understand becoming that huge a fan of ATLA without nostalgia. When I first watched the two fairly close together I thought there wasn't a huge difference in quality and didn't understand what everyone was moaning about, because Korra was only a little bit worse than ATLA and still a good show. After Book 3 and Book 4 came out, I watched those, then rewatched the entire franchise and changed my mind; deciding that on the whole, ATLA was actually a worse show than LoK, but I'm a vile heretic.

To each their own, I guess.

Agree. I watched LOK first, and it just comes off as so much tighter ad more cohesive. ATLA is mostly pointless filler, whereas Korra is just so dense, there's so much going on in ever shot. Also, the characters were better- the only real ATLA character with an arc is Zuko, versus Korra and Asami and Tenzin and Bolin and Lin and Varric and... you get the idea.
>>
>>1697159
I hesitate to bring it up, but technically Azula had an arc. It just wasn't very well done.

The Last Agni Kai was great though.

I think it's a bit more complicated than that. It's hard to compare them in their entirety because each season differs so much in quality.

Season one of atla is pretty bad. It's much worse than season 3 or 4 of korra and only slightly better than season 1 of korra (because the love triangle). Season 2 of atla is pretty good. Things start picking up and I'd say it's roughly equivalent to season 4 if you ignore the fact that asami and korra is a thing and all the callbacks to atla. Season 3 of atla is a pretty large shift and the same goes for LoKs season 3. Both are the best of their own series and I would argue that LoK season 3 is actually better than atla season 3.

The problem with LoK though is season 2. It doesn't jive with any other season and problems in that season leave open questions for the rest of the series. (Why is a monarch in an anarchist group and decides to team up with literal evil to rule the world because he wants people to respect the spirits he's enslaving?) You can't ignore it and as a whole it makes LoK slightly worse than AtLA as a whole even though many parts of LoK are much better than AtLA.
>>
>>1697166
We're not gonna agree and I can tell already, because season 1 of ATLA was outright bad compared to every other season of either series to me, and I almost stopped watching the show halfway through the first season, because I was going to put it down to rampant hype from overgrown children.
>>
>>1697166
>Why is a monarch in an anarchist group and decides to team up with literal evil to rule the world because he wants people to respect the spirits he's enslaving?
Because he's an egotistical asshole that was just using everyone.

Unalaq's problem is he's an ATLA tier villain in Legend of Korra. He's a huge dick for no apparent reason and he's just in it for power. It's jarring to see after Book 1's Amon.
>>
>>1697151
>When I first watched the two fairly close together I thought there wasn't a huge difference in quality and didn't understand what everyone was moaning about

I agree. I never understood that complaint. Other than being funnier (and it's not hard to top Bolin), there's not much of a gap between the quality of the two shows beyond nostalgia. Season one of AtLA and Season two of LoK are both really weak. Season two and season three of the respective shows are both really strong (the latter is as good as the franchise got). And both finale seasons are good (the culmination of Zuko and Korra's struggles) with problems (too much filler for AtLA/not enough episodes for LoK). Ultimately, I prefer the Korra finale because of her journey feeling infinitely more real and her resolution more earned than anything outside of Zuko in AtLA. And dat Korrasami.

The real anomaly is season one of Korra, which has amazing animation, and introduces us to Korra, Tenzin, Lin, Asami and Republic City. Unfortunately it also introduces us to the love triangle and the superfluous brothers. A dull, unlikable hero and unfunny, grating comic relief character, neither of whom have any connection to the main story whatsoever but are made into main cast members anyway? Sounds perfect!

I think ATLA is only remembered as funnier because it had more episodes to throw out both whiffs and scores, and you remember the scores more than the whiffs when you're wearing nostalgia goggles. Sokka had plenty of stinkers mixed in with his few good lines. Also RIP funny Iroh, who would not be seen again after his voice actor died.

>Season two of LoK was really weak
>Season two of LoK was really strong

You're right, even though they're completely contradictory statements. Book 2 of LoK had some of the series' worst and best moments at the same fucking time. It's bewildering.

It's almost like a major weakness of the show was trying to imitate ATLA (Complete with liberal usage of the phrase "Team Avatar!") without understanding why it actually worked. A team of four heroes representing every element plus one nonbender? Where have I seen this before? And why does it not work when we only have 12 episodes? (It's because you only have 12 episodes. The four dudes on a sky bison thing just doesn't work for the format and characters and when they realized that the show started getting a lot better)

Yeah, Korra loves Asami. That's why Korra tied her to that chair and made her watch Legend of Korra scenes over and over, until she learned how to sound like herself. She'd forgotten how she was supposed to sound, poor thing.
>>
>>1697159
I don't agree with you on korra characters being better. I think they're about equal .

In my opinion LoKs best characters are in this order: Korra, Zaheer, Asami, Varrick, Lin, Tenzin, Amon, Kuvira, Bolin.
These are the worst: Unalaq, Vaatu, Meelo, Mako(season 1 and 2 is unforgivable), Raiko.

The rest are meh.

In AtLA the best characters are the following:
Toph, Iroh, Zuko, Azula, Katara, Aang, Sokka, Jet, cabbage mechant.
The worst are as follows:
Great divide people, the paraplegic kid, Pakku, and Zhao.
>>
>>1697167
I'm shocked that you think season one of atla is worse than season 2 of korra.

I'll admit it was bad but at least things kind of made sense.
>>
>>1697203
Korra blames herself, for being away from Asami for so long. That's how Asami forgot. But now Korra will make sure she never leaves Asami out of her sight. Ever.

Even when Asami is reading aloud her late night homework to remember her family lineage ("I am Asami Sato, daughter of Hiroshi and Yasuko, I was born in Republic City"), her feelings for Korra ("Korra is my best friend, I will always be there for Korra, I am Korra's forever girl") and of course, regaining her technical skills. Korra sure was... upset that time Asami wasn't able to fix her car for her. She's (re)learning though. She's very eager to make sure Korra is happy with her.
>>
>>1697171
What are you talking about? Atlas main villains all had good reason to be dicks except for sozin. Ozai was indoctrinated from youth into thinking the fire nation deserves to own the planet, if you look into some history this isn't practicality weird for a monarch to believe. His dickedness to zuko is explained (poorly) in the comics so it's not like he was a dick to everyone. Azula was groomed from the get go by her dad the same way he was and she was "evil" simply because the way her dad raised her. Plus she's a bit of a sociopath but that obviously runs in the family all the way from sozin. Zhao was just an general moving up in the ranks and trying to amass whatever power and prestige he could get. He had a rivalry with zuko since he could position himself as better than part of the royal family without catching shit for it.

I never though amon was that deep personally. At first he seemed great but after it was revealed that he was a bender and his backstory it just kind of seemed weak that the only reason he's doing what he's doing is daddy issues. Plus if he hated bending so much he should have stuck to his guns and not used it.
>>
>>1697208
Not that imouto, but while book two of Korra had eye rolling and cringe inducing moments, it never outright made me want to drop the show. Book one of Airbender did, and I would have dropped it if I hadn't been watching after the fact.
>>
>>1697207
Your priorities are strange. Jet only appeared in a handful of episodes. Toph was fun but two dimensional, how is she above Zuko? And why is Bolin on a best characters list at all? He's just an anime archetype.

It's like opinions are subjective and different or something.

Book 2 of LoK has some bad moments and the plot unravels in the last episode.

By contrast, Book 1 of ATLA has some bad moments but very few good moments, period. It's mostly just boring. There are only a handful of episodes I'd even say are worth watching in that season. It was a pretty bog-standard kid's show at that point, just with unusually good animation for a western thing.

The bad bits of LoK Book 2 are made all the more cringeworthy because we knew they could do better. After all, they'd done better in that very same season. Meanwhile, in Book 1, you're so shocked when a good episode comes along (The Storm is basically the epitome of this) that the episode is elevated by contrast to the bland kiddy shit you'd just watched eight episodes of.

It didn't marry with what people had headcanoned the shows universe to be. The show made the mistake of encouraging that headcanon though when it showed a big Yin-Yang symbol in the Spirit World when Raava and Vaatu have way more in common with Ahura Mazda and Angr-Mainyu than Yin and Yang. This helped people forget that Avatar mostly uses Eastern mysticism for window dressing, like Eva uses Christian imagery. Forgetting that is bad and makes you expect too much from the writers, since when they try to handle the topic seriously, they fail.

I've actually forgotten my point and just rambled a lot.

>>1697218
>Which actually worked for what she was.
Yeah it did. But I wouldn't consider her in a "best of" anything, unless the field of choice was pretty poor.

Actually scratch that, yeah, she does deserve to be in a "best of" list of ATLA characters.

1. I never said the first line.
2. I'm only comparing them to unalaq. LoK all other LoK villains are much much better.

I don't understand why you're denying the fact that Unalaq is the worst villain. He has no motivation that makes any sense and even the shit they throw in later to explain it doesn't help. He's just a bad guy because he's a bad guy.
>>
>>1697217
I'll admit I liked how they added the fact that meelo is kind of an artist in the 4thseason but otherwise he is pure shit.

In the last episode there was a moment where he was falling and landed on his feet. For the entire fall I felt sick to my stomach thinking he would fart bend and ruin such a good ending.

When people talk about his farts it hurts too.
>>
>>1697221
I'd probably have given up in the first part of Book 2 if not for being pretty hyped by the unexpectedly cool Book 1 Finale (dat Moonslayer). Minus Azula's intro, Book 2 is pretty boring before Toph becomes a permanent cast member and I was worried for a minute this was one of those shows that was actually crap most of the time and just had cool final sequences. Luckily after 8 or so episodes the writers finally outgrew Book 1, for the most part.

>8 episodes in
>Show gets good

Damn ATLA seasons are fucking long.

>>1697226
Unalaq is without question the worst LoK villain. His motivation is basically "POWER MWHAHAHA".

So he's about on par with Ozai, really. Except Unalaq tries to thinly justify it, whereas Ozai just cackles madly and looks menacing behind a curtain of flames.

Zhao would be completely boring as a villain if not for the finale. I wish Moonslayer Zhao was in the entirety of ATLA book 1. It would be enough to carry a rewatch, probably.
>>
>>1697228
I have a confession to make: I'm not sure why everyone makes such a big deal about the fartbending. I didn't even notice Meelo fartbended at all the first time I watched Book 1. I was astonished to discover online outrage over the fact that he did this.

Of course now I notice it every single time. It's like the Fed-Ex Arrow. So thanks for that, internet.

I don't know. The fact that Ozai doesn't feel the need to justify his actions seems better to me.

Also I don't think unalaq was really after power because since becoming essential evil and ruining everything all the time doesn't seem like power as much as just being a dick. My biggest problem is that ozai is evil but unalaq is the embodiment of evil. He literally becomes evil and there's no divorcing him from it.

It might really just come down to the fact that ozai is barely in ATLA and unalaq is everywhere in season 2 LoK. At least there isn't much ozai to get annoyed at.

That can be good if done right. It wasn't done right, so Ozai just ends up boring (Unalaq was pretty boring too, mind. But at least there's something you can talk about with him. Ozai is just kinda...there)

I was infinitely more interested in Zuko's fight with Azula than Aang's fight with Ozai, and I'm pretty sure that's not at all what the writers wanted.

It would be cool if we saw some trippy shit with Unalaq reshaping the universes in his own image or something before he went down, instead of stomping around in a kaiju battle and throwing vines everywhere. Would add more stakes, and would take advantage of the fact that he's a supernatural force of evil rather than just a dude that is evil. Both those things are totally flat, of course, but supernatural evil works better than a dude that is inexplicably pure evil, for me.

Of course if I were writing it I'd also have made it a bit more clear that Unalaq had no idea what he was actually getting into and just thought Vaatu was misunderstood. There's even a line that kind of suggests that in Book 2 but it's swept under the rug pretty quick so everyone forgets about it.
>>
>>1697242
I actually suspect a lot of Mako's early character was as much a response to Nick demands as internet shippers from the ATLA days, though I have nothing concrete to prove it. Apparently the one thing they fought Bryke fairly hard on was the main character being a girl. Maybe Nick thought they needed a cool dude for 8-12 year old males to imprint on.

Ironically this wasn't the case at all and test audiences well into the shows development had no issue with Korra being a girl at all, despite being composed of the demographic Nick (at the time) wanted to sell toys too.
>>
>>1697240
>Or we could write a study detailing the dangerous consequences of identifying too much with your favourite characters.

>if I were writing it I'd also have made it a bit more clear that Unalaq had no idea what he was actually getting into and just thought Vaatu was misunderstood.

Agree 100%. And even describing himself as a "dark avatar" was ridiculous. He didn't think that chaos was darkness.

>>1697248
>Agree 100%. And even describing himself as a "dark avatar" was ridiculous. He didn't think that chaos was darkness.
He didn't think darkness was inherently bad, either.

>Could you jog my memory?
When Unalaq corners Jinora at Wan-Shi-Tong's library, Jinora throws it in his face. Something along the lines of "Why the fuck would you ever do this? Vaatu is pure evil."

Unalaq's response is "Don't believe everything you read." Which strongly implies he actually thought Vaatu was good, somehow, and that the Avatar and subsequent writers had made up the "Evil Spirit of Chaos and Darkness" story.
>>
>>1697246
I share your suspicion. Like I said here >>1693305 Mako looks like a cynical attempt to get a cool dude being the hero in a show about a woman. It's remarkable that by the end of the first season, Mako is basically co-protag and is a bigger hero than Korra.

And Asami has to be written as the most forgiving, angelic person in the world (and at least they're consistent with that in later seasons) so that Mako can toss her aside like a used condom without the show having to admit that he's an enormous cunt.

Until Book 2. Where everyone has this look on their face like "Wow, what an enormous cunt" when he does it again. Bumi's face in particular as priceless. It's like "Wow, I've screwed over a lot of women in my time but I've never managed to pull something like this off."

>>1697253
That's because it's easier than actual prose.

Although honestly there's nothing inherently wrong with minimal prose. Minimalistic prose is way better than bad purple prose by people that can't pull off flower descriptions. Hell, GRRM built a commercial empire on minimalistic prose.

>>1697254

>>1697250
Weirdly enough one of the things they didn't explore much in the show but hinted at is that unalaq would be right in this moment.

ATLA and LoK are essentially set in the "good" version of the world and even though that's the case it still constantly has evil and shit popping up everywhere. Similarly if vaatu had won the world would be "evil" with a dick flying around and making bad shit happen but good things would constantly be happening too.

A part of Vaatu always exists in raava and vice versa.
>>
>>1697261
Yeah true. That's a much more hands off kind of meddling that probably took little effort on the part of the network execs.

I mean in the Book 1 commentaries Bryke talk briefly about how shocked and happy they were that they managed to keep the scene where Tarrlok kills Amon and himself and it seems like it was a fight. There was apparently no such fight for the Earth Queen's death, even though it was significantly more graphic. Or at least if there was a fight, the commentators saw no need to mention it.

>perhaps even as good as Book 1 of AtLA!
I have to wonder if these people have ever actually sat down and rewatched the series. Surely they must have, if they love it so much? I guess some nostalgia goggles can survive anything.

Who wouldn't be confused after seeing her strangled to death then dragged into a pool of mercury?

No. You're not... Asami...

>>1697278
Who does Korra kill to make the second Nega-Korra appear at the end of the game/show?

>'Asami' watches her homework in the lounge room of her 'mansion'
>Suddenly 'Korra' bursts in with 'Naga'
>"Asami go put on your holiday clothes. Today we're doing something special"
>After putting on her costume 'Asami' follows 'Korra' to the back yard.
>Several lamps are placed in a circle pointing to the sky
>'Asami' thinks to her self "I'm ready for this. I did my home work thoroughly this time"
>'Korra' warm sweaty palm takes hold of 'Asami's' hand
>They walk together hand in hand towards the lights
>At the last moment they turn to face each other
>'Asami' stares deeply into 'Korra's' Cerulean injected eyes
>But the moment is brief as 'Asami' is distracted by one of lights flashing on and off
>'Korra' slaps her in disgust
>"You forgot yourself again didn't you?"
>For 'Asami' the night will be long

Not necessarily. A lot of people might die at the start but if over a long period of time people would end up staying in very small very close knit tribes. kind of like how we envision cavemen.
>>
>>1697280
>'Korra' comes home one day, much perkier than usual.
>She informs 'Asami' that she has a present for her.
>'Asami' tries not to cry as she stares at the syringe full of green dye. 'Korra' hates seeing her cry, and 'Asami' hates making Korra unhappy. Not for herself, of course. 'Asami' was very selfless and hated the way 'Korra' felt after she had to hit 'Asami' for something she'd done.
>"This way you won't have to wear contacts anymore! Isn't it great?!"
>'Asami' can't speak without sobbing, so she just nods.
>'Korra' had to use the straps again, in the end, because 'Asami' couldn't stay still, as the needle approached.
>'Asami' hated the way 'Korra' punished her almost as much as she hated the disappointment on 'Korra's' face as she flinched.

I was really worried about that too. The three year time skip was honestly surprising.
>>
>>1697277
>I have to wonder if these people have ever actually sat down and rewatched the series. Surely they must have, if they love it so much? I guess some nostalgia goggles can survive anything.
I actually know someone that watches AtlA once a year and it's still one of his favorite show and won't give LoK the time of the day even though I'm insisting that Season 3 and 4 are great.
Oh I know what's going on. He still loves AtlA so much, because of all the good memories attached to it (watching it ith friends, alls the discussion ect.).

>>1697284
A lot of people WOULD die at the start. Hunter-gathering cannot support a mid-Industrial era population. Especially not in Spirit-Wilds, which under Vaatu would be intensely antagonistic to human life.

>>1697286
I was shocked when it turned out to be three years later. And pretty worried about what this meant for Korra.

>>1697287
That guy is not going to like Legend of Korra Book 3-4 at all, even if you somehow get him to watch it. Give up.
>>
>>1697279
No one. Nega-Korra represents Korra's guilt at her own failure and self loathing rather than PH representing the burden of a murder.

>>1697280
>"You forgot yourself again didn't you?"

To be fair, this is a big one. 'Asami' should know better than to allow herself to be distracted from reliving her fondest memories.

>'Korra's' Cerulean injected eyes

You fucking card, you.
>>
>>1697289
>No one. Nega-Korra represents Korra's guilt at her own failure and self loathing rather than PH representing the burden of a murder.
Ok.

So who does she fail to make the second Nega-Korra?
>>
>>1697288
>That guy is not going to like Legend of Korra Book 3-4 at all, even if you somehow get him to watch it. Give up.
I have. It's just pretty frustrating because he barred me to even spoil him on the off chance he might pick it up. That selfish cunt.
>>
>>1697285
My throat is so dry right now.
>>
>>1697289
The first Pyramid Head wasn't about just the burden of murder. There's a reason he's a giant phallus symbol wielding giant phallus symbols. He's also James' repressed sexuality during his wife's illness. Plus all the guilt that brings.

That's top /co/ right there.

Dare I ask why?

She fails to convince Ryu to leave his basement and condemns him to a life of squalor and darkness.

>>1697293
Challenge him. Flat out say "LoK's seasons three and four are better than any of AtLA's."
>>
>>1697296
>Dare I ask why?

A combination of inappropriate emotions and Smirnoff.
>>
>>1697296
>That's top /co/ right there.
Which is funny since he doesn't go there.

>>1697297
>Challenge him. Flat out say "LoK's seasons three and four are better than any of AtLA's."

Nah doesn't work. Besides he's curently more interested in watching stuff like Gumball.
>>
>>1697297
>She fails to convince Ryu to leave his basement and condemns him to a life of squalor and darkness.
That's a victory as far as most of 4chan is concerned.

>Challenge him. Flat out say "LoK's seasons three and four are better than any of AtLA's."
That's a terrible idea and will end in frustation for both parties.

>>1697298
Ah yes, the rare but deadly guilt fap/schlick. Nothing like that combination of arousal and self loathing instilled by what you're aroused by.
>>
>>1697300
>guilt schlick
I sometimes headcanon that Korra had these while thinking about Asami at the South Pole at night. For maximum melodrama.
>>
at this rate we might actually hit 2,000 posts again before archiving
>>
>>1697301
You could also headcanon Asami does the exact same thing. Their suffering is on the same wavelength.
>>
>>1697285
>Months have passed under the watchful eye of 'Korra' and 'Asami' has become accustomed to her tasks...
>Although she tries her best it's a constant struggle to selflessly keep 'Korra' happy
>There is only one thing remains to inspire 'Asami' through her rehabilitation
>'Naga' is the brightest, happiest, and friendliest polarbeardog she had ever met
>Every afternoon 'Asami' would pet her as she did her homework
>Until one day...
>'Korra' had noticed, she was watching
>Tears dripped down her face as 'Korra' locked her in the basement
>She was going to get 'Naga' 'fixed'
>Later that the basement door opened and 'Korra' marched in cheerfully
>"Look 'Asami', 'Naga' was feeling sick but she's all better now!"
>In walked a mean brute of a 'polarbeardog'
>Her fur was white but 'Asami' knew she was no true 'Naga'

>>1697304
And both of them think that the other never thought of them that way at all and was just a friend they're taking advantage of.
>>
>>1697303
Nah looks like this thread will be dead soon. I hope to see all you guys inb the next one.
>>
>>1697308
We're still on page 9.
>>
>>1697313
But 2000 before it's dead? You better get posting anon.
>>
>>1697314
We had like 200 posts today I think, and we'll probably be on page 10 for several days if no one gets over-eager to make the new thread.

Granted the last day or two were unusually active.

>>1697294
This FANFIC is making me THIRSTY
>>
>>1697348
You should contribute to it then ;)
>>
>>1697360
Michel-I mean Asami has already been enslaved, broken, and physically mutilated. What more can we do to her?
>>
>>1697362
It doesn't have to be anything big. Just another terrifying minor twist to the story.

Maybe 'korra' found a mako that she'll use for a few scenes.
Maybe 'korra' has decided to write her own fanfiction about what her an asami did in the spirit world... then acted it out
Maybe 'Korra' has decided to add an electric glove to their sex life
>>
>>1697369
I can't imagine 'Korra' is a big Mako fan. And her capturing and torturing a Mako to death is, oddly enough, past the limit of what I can find sexy.
>>
>>1697372
I was thinking more along the lines that she picks up some homeless guy then forces 'asami' do things with him then "steals" her away from him

It doesn't feel Yuri enough though
