Happy Second Korrasami Anniversary, gals.
Comic incoming!eventually
Happy 2nd anniversary LoK thread! Remember, two years ago this totally fucking happened, and it was wonderful.
>>2217078
Beautiful.
>>2217102
Wait does this actually happen?
I'm only 2 seasons in but got bored due to the lack of korra/asami interactions.
Janet remains best grill.
>>2217107
The first two seasons are the worst two. Just get to the third season and you'll be golden.
A shame there isn't a proper ending uploaded on YouTube anymore.
>>2217111
Do you thin the comics will cover what happened in the Spirit World between them, or will it be left up to the imagination?
>>2217112
You mean a reaction? I can stream some again if you'd like...
>>2217119
Tomorrow, I mean. It's too late now.
>>2217119
No I mean there use to be just the ending on Youtube. Copyright probably got it removed.
>>2217119
What the fuck?
When does this happen? Wasn't the pairing supposed to have come out of nowhere even if you were wearing yuri goggles?
>>2217124
and who told you that?
>>2217117
Honestly it should be the latter; way too much room to fuck up the spirit world gaycation. At least when they come back we can expect a duller story for the canon writers to work with.

>I was the one who posted the link for the episode on /u/
Feels good to know that
>>2217181
I didn't come to /u/ until the 19th, I must admit.
Honestly, I never thought they'd (Bryke) have the guts to do it, despite how obvious it was.
>>2217188
Neither did I but i had started coming here when i saw the hints of korrasami in s4 and knew that "its not gonna be canon but at least this board will have good art/stories" and then it happened and /co/ was having a meltdown over something they jad pushed for (the fucking image for the final /co/ thread was korrasami ffs) so i posted the link here for people who would actually enjoy it
>>2217134
>arm-in-arm_just_fugged
Oh monkeyfeathers...
>>2217190
The butthurt contingent of /co/'s meltdown remains hilarious to this day.
>>2217194
Its not so funn anymore where there is almost daily threads shitting on the series solely for korrasami
>>2217196
>solely for korrasami
People shit on it for a lot more reasons. Korrasami just allows for people to bring out the blue board allowed porn which is one of the redeeming features of Korra.
>>2217196
It will never stop being hilarious, stop taking it so personally.
>>2217196
Wow. I haven't been on /co/ in years. That they're still this butthurt very much pleases me, especially since they initially championed it.
>>2217201
>People shit on it for a lot more reasons.
Hey concerned how ya doing
>>2217201
>People shit on it for a lot more reasons
Go on. Vent.
>>2217206
>Almost every day there is a thread shitting on it and 90% is korrasami bitching
Holy shit, that's hilarious.
>>2217206
>Its just annoying that /u/ is the only place i can talk about the show at all
Ditto, but it's been that way for so long, I've just learnrd to accept it.
>>2217218
Except /co/ doesnt complain about that was my point. They solely complaim about the finale
>>2217218
>That middle one was me!
Goddamnit, sis.
>>2217220
>Except /co/ doesnt complain about that was my point. They solely complaim about the finale
It's completely retroactive, too. /co/ hated the first two seasons, except for Wanwhom they adored despite perfectly mirroring Korra's flaws.
They loved the idea of Korrasami, too, until it became possible it might actually happen.
>>2217124
The only people who think it came out of nowhere are either Makorrafags and /co/.
I wasn't even wearing my goggles while watching LoK and that scene and the finale of book 3 were gay as fuck.
>>2217206
>a thread
Usually two or three. The shit is fucking pathetic.
>>2217124
If you were wearing yuri goggles you would've spotted Korra mentioning how nice it is to finally have a girlfriend and Asami getting Korra a huge-ass airship for their trip around the world.
And that happened in, like, the first two episodes of Season 3. It just got steadily more blatant from there.
The only reason people had for not seeing Korrasami coming is that Korra and Asami are both girls in a kid's cartoon and girls in kid's cartoons do not hook up.
This, of course, was in the pre-Steven Universe era.
>>2217124
See >>2217102 pic
They started being really close and spent a lot of time together in Season 3, to the point where Asami is the one who sits by Korra watching for her when she's meditating to enter the spirit world. From that point onwards they don't get to be together too much because shit happens, but they share quite some eyebrow-raising dialogues and expressions such as dat blush.
First it's obvious that Asami has something for Korra and then Korra starts opening as well.
>>2217220
No, they don't. Read the threads sometime. Also, I adore Korrasami, but if the show ended any other way people still would be shitting on it, only then you wouldn't get so assblasted about it.
I don't understand why some people can't accept that someone may like the show while still ackowledging its flaws at the same time.
The truth is, the way /u/ is, Korrasami becoming canon made you somewhat indebted to the series in your mind and you're ready to defend it from any criticism, even valid one.
There will always be people claiming that Korrasami ruined the series, but it's such a tiny little amount that it's not even worth noting. LoK had problems way before the finale.
>>2217376
I do read the threads. 99% of them are "Reeeeeeeee dykes" and the other is valid criticisms Concerned
>>2217400
Oh don't engage them, this is suppose to be an anniversary thread, not a fill it up with shitposting thread.
>>2217401
Then stop doing so
Actually >>2217403
Is right. Lets just focus on 2 years of these gals
>>2217266
>The only people who think it came out of nowhere are either Makorrafags and /co/.
/co/ saw it coming too. Every new episode they talked about how heavy Bryke was laying on the ship tease, but they expected it would be a bait and switch and were pissed off that they were the ones who got baited instead.
They bitched about Korra ever since she blew off Bolin in season 1.
Commencing anniversary porn dump.
And that's all I got.
>>2217470
Still haven't watched any of the second season of Trumpets'n'Shit yet, can't say I'm hopeful in general. Wouldn't be the first time KyoAni has let me down.
>>2217535
Don't watch it. It looks like its going to end in the worst way possible for any fans expecting an open end.
>>2217429
>Anyone who shitposts is an enemy.
FTFY
>>2217429
Who are you trying to convince. If you've been in these threads any decent length of time, you'll know we tear into the show all the time. We just also acknowledge that there were parts we enjoyed, including the main character, which is verboten on /co/.
>>2217463
>>2217464
>>2217465
Danke, but don't want to overdo it. Nothing worse than a full thread that's not autosaging.
>>2217561
Dang...
What is it with this 48 hour period that makes lesbians appear?
Expectations for the comic?
>>2217977
At least 1 plot hole and for Korra to have none of the spotlight, but an overall readable comic.
Unlike the rage inducing TLA ones... so optimistic.

Probably from season one. Even Seychelle thinks Asami fell for Korra back then, and that Korra got into Asami during the racetrack scene.
>>2217268
FuckingRaava
>>2217310
>This, of course, was in the pre-Steven Universe era.
In a way, it's good that Korra's fourth season was pushed out the door in 2014 rather than in summer 2015. Would have been accused of copycating Steven Universe.
They were so cute at the end of the party.
>>2217977
>Expectations for the comic?
Korra pushed a little bit into a supporting role for Asami. After all, she just concluded her own major arc, so we don't need her set back. I'd imagine her behaving a little like early Book Three Korra, but more serene.
I expect (but hope against) Bolin and Mako having entirely too much panel time. Though I'd like some MakoLin interactions. I suspect Bolin will likely bumble onto the solution for the main problem over the story. Also, fighting Triads will give Mako and Bolin a chance to show off their awesome mega powers even more.
I also expect that homophobia won't be a thing.
>>2218092
Tracer's a lesbian? Nice.
>>2218151
The instant Asami interrupted, I knew what was about to happen. Bryke admitted they put more effort into that last scene than any other over the season. The red and blue dresses really make the art pop as well.
>>2218155
Yup
Today's comic confirmed it. Her girlfriend looks kinda like MJ Watsonand her name sounds similar to Amelie
>>2217078
This really hit me a gain from that cap:
>show that isn't literally based around yuri
>yuri end
I cannot think of another instance of this. Anywhere.
>>2217078
I was 1641873. Boy did they show me.
>>2218175
>I was 1641873. Boy did they show me.
Literal game changer. In a post-Korrasami world, yuri couples in western entertainment aimed at family audiences are no longer a pipe dream.
>>2217694
I know... At least this one ends in a great note for the unlikeliest pairing in the whole series. I want to cherish how unique this one is due to that.
>>2218350
>I want to cherish how unique this one is due to that.
This.
>>2217346
>Asami is the one who sits by Korra watching for her when she's meditating to enter the spirit world.
This was an especially obvious tell by the writers. They used this with Aang/Katara and Zaheer/P'li. Looking back on it, it's such a glaringly overt indication of Korrasami.
...But y'know, what is that parallel compared to the spirit frogs?
We Winter Solstice now, gals.
>>2218437
The fucking spirit frogs. My sides.Listen back to what they say and how they describe "growing on each other" and how they have an unconventional relationship that surprises but ultimate wins over Korra. I'm not saying it was intentional, but you could make a case that this was foreshadowing Korrasami... Or you just look at their eye colours. Whatevs.
>>2217561
I fucking hate open endings, I'd rather watch a proper hetshit conclusion than a HA HA USE YOUR ~~IMAGINATION~~ TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED NEXT one.

>>2218525She's latino. Of course she is.
>>2218546
Nice! Not a generic standing pose.
>>2218092
Heard there was some backlash to this. Not because of hatred "fer dem queers", but moreso that it's seems like a cynical marketing move. Any truth to that?
>>2219229
Only raging /pol/tards would admit they hate the ending because there's lesbians in it. It's much more acceptable in polite society to say you only object to the presentation.
In actual fact, Korra and Asami received two seasons worth of build up and were established as close friends first. The build up was widely noticed and discussed in the fandom, despite what /co/ is trying to tell you now.
>>2219351
I should have been more specific. I didn't mean for LoK's ending. I did see some Makorrafags and /co/fags bitching that it was a marketing move. Reality is Nick wanted the series to die a quiet death, and were nervous about the gay ending (almost as nervous as they were about a female protag). Sure, afterwards, when it received a near-universal positive reception, Nick started pushing Korrasami. But that was after the fact.
My question pertains to Tracer. I've heard some suggest that she was made gay just for the marketing buzz, and that it was an entirely cynical move on Blizzard's part.
>>2219380
I don't play Overwatch, so grains of salt and all that.
I think there was clearly an element of marketing to how Blizzard revealed it ("some of the characters are queer, but we aren't telling which yet!"), but unless they handle it badly or completely ignores it in the future, I don't think it's necessarily all that bad. She's still a prominent canon gay video game character, even if the marketing department was involved.
>>2219439
>"some of the characters are queer, but we aren't telling which yet!"
imo this was a delay tactic because they hadn't decided who was gay yet, and they wanted to be able to evaluate their options. it may be one part marketing in selecting who the gay was going to be, but given the absolute mess the overwatch lore + timeline are it's likely that it's equally a product of their inability to plan ahead.
>>2219380
>My question pertains to Tracer. I've heard some suggest that she was made gay just for the marketing buzz, and that it was an entirely cynical move on Blizzard's part.
i think this happens every time a character is made a lesbian.
hello from overwatch thread, now we can celebrate anniversaries together!
>>2219229
Maybe if you squint hard but no, not really. Guys saying that are those grasping for any apparently "good" reason to explain why they don't like lesbians in their games. Same thing happened to Korra, /co/ didn't like Korrasami ending and so they grasped around and stuck with the "it came out of nowhere" and "it was pandering" narratives so that they don't look salty or like homophobes.
surprise non-korrasami
>>2219439
>"some of the characters are queer, but we aren't telling which yet!"
Definitely sounds like marketing talk.FFS, Blizzard. "Queer" is still a slur on par with "faggot" in many parts of the world. Just say "gay", "not straight", or use the latest edition of that alphabet soup acronym. You're not tumblr.
>imo this was a delay tactic because they hadn't decided who was gay yet, and they wanted to be able to evaluate their options.
I don't play Overwatch or follow its lore, but I have heard of many of the characters, and Tracer seems like one of the more popular. So, might that have factored into her being the one chosen?
Not trying to undermine her. It's just a genuine curiosity of whether this was something planned from the beginning, or if it's the harbinger of a whole slew of tumblrina sexualities and identities to that game's cast.
It's like how one of my fears for the Korra comic was that gay characters would start crawling out of the woodwork. Perhaps I'm in the minority, but them being gay is incidental to why I like Korrasami. It's a nice bonus, though.
>it's likely that it's equally a product of their inability to plan ahead.
From what we know of videogame writers, very possible.
>hello from overwatch thread, now we can celebrate anniversaries together!
You must be having fun over there!
>>2219541
>Guys saying that are those grasping for any apparently "good" reason to explain why they don't like lesbians in their games.
I don't like lesbians in my games if their character/dialogue boils down to "Have I'm mentioned I'm a lesbian today?"
That's the trash that happens when you have a gender studies graduate write your game, or the whole thing is a product of cynical pandering.
Again, I don't know if this is how it is/will be for Tracer, which is why I asked here.

>Ty Lee dom

>>2219590Sorry, senpai, that 'queer' was on me. I don't think Blizzard used that word.
Tracer's the character who's always used in promo materials and such, isn't she? I think it's actually pretty cool that they decided to make such a visible character gay instead of picking someone no one cares about. Anyway, congrats to the Overwatch people.
>>2218495
>I'd rather watch a proper hetshit conclusion than a HA HA USE YOUR ~~IMAGINATION~~ TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED NEXT one.
I dislike non-committal shit like that too. Tell the fucking story, you ass.

I know those breadcrumbs are mostly what's mostly what /u/ has had to live on. That was me re: Korrasami two years ago. I guess the end spoiled me.
>>2219710
>spoilerDidn't mean to jump down your throat. I just get annoyed at the hypocrisy of tumblrspeak wanting to be all-inclusive and not offend, and then forgetting the world outside America exists.
>>2219729That's all right, I don't actually use queer like that. I just tried to sound flippant.
>>2219729
I wanted Zarya to be gay to piss off Russia.
>>2219729
>I know those breadcrumbs are mostly what's mostly what /u/ has had to live on. That was me re: Korrasami two years ago. I guess the end spoiled me.
I think we don't have to live off of those breadcrumbs anymore due to society becoming more open-minded these days. Media would obviously follow suit and shit like open ends would be a thing of the past in here.
>>2219874
Japan isn't exactly going at the same pace as the West, though. I can only imagine the kind of shitstorm Hibikek would have started if it was an American show.
>>2219884
If it was an American show one of them would have died during the very special school shooting episode.
>>2219889
That would have been a marked improvement.
>>2219895
I think you literally just described Glee as being superior
>>2219541
A lot of people are also salty because they shipped her with a given character and then comes a literally who with whom she is in a relationship.
>>2219911
I thought it was a joke, but it looks like Glee really did end up having a very special school shooting episode. And here I thought season two was bad.
Still, at least Brittana happened.
>>2219511
Someone go commission Korra dressed in Tracer's outfit and vice versa.
>>2219884
They're at least taking some minor steps in the right direction. I mean, we're going to get two openly gay anime series next year in Citrus and NTR and Yuri on Ice, while not actual yuri is the gayest popular show out there. They're baby steps, but at least we're getting there.
>>2219970
>NTR
That name is already spelling trouble
>>2219976
Its two girls who like each other, but like to make things difficult for themselves since the story would end pretty quickly if they didn't fuck themselves so constantly. You should avoid it like the plague if you're not into characters being stupid for stupid reasons.
>>2219874
>I think we don't have to live off of those breadcrumbs anymore due to society becoming more open-minded these days.
Western society's been mostly fine with gays and lesbians for a while now. Even if one has religious issues with gay marriage, most western people are fine with gays as a concept. It just takes a while for tv execs to catch up because they're usually too busy trying to dictate.
Then, of course, you're going to get your backlash due to initial oversaturation due to bandwagon jumping.Also, whenever some tumblrina ideologue writes a gay person, expect them to be perfect or insufferable.
>>2219925
>That sounds like someone got burned by Life is Strange
My main problem was thatyou couldn't kill Chloe AND the town. Chloe was an obnoxious ass throughout, and I dropped it because of her. I only got convinced to pick it up again later with the promise it got good. It didn't.

>I didn't watch the show: The Post
>>2220011
>You should avoid it like the plague if you're not into characters being stupid for stupid reasons.
But we're on an anime board.
>>2220021
Touche. But how often do you see a character constantly denying herself from reaching her own happiness for no real reason? I mean, she loves a girl, but constantly has sex with a guy who she doesn't love and doesn't love her either and not only that, she get herself into this pretty avoidable situations for no good reason.
>>2220039
Sounds like real life.
>>2220015
>I didn't watch the show: The Post
I was commenting about the Overwatch part of the post.
>>2220046
This might sound weird to you, but i don't fuck a guy who blackmails me and the girl i like into fucking him on my daily life. I might be the weird one here though.
>>2220076
It's not as if Hotaru went straight from falling in love with Yuma to fucking that dickhead and the resulting disaster that spiralled wildly out of her control. Sometimes people's lives fuck up and they can't get out of it.

That sounds interesting. Is the series worth get into?
>>2221114
There is an explicit het cheating scene which is the route cause of a lot of the drama, so it depends on your tolerance for that sort of thing. I'll freely admit the series isn't for everyone.
>>2218546
New(ish) iahfy/owler collab too.
>>2217123
>No I mean there use to be just the ending on Youtube. Copyright probably got it removed.
Viacom went apeshit with copyright claims earlier this year. A whole bunch of Korrasami end reaction vids got nuked as well, which is pretty shitty of them.
>>2221114
Yes. It's a rollercoaster, but absolutely worth the read. One of my top five yuri manga.
>>2221078
Yeah, but I'm a man of fluff and ideal couples bathed in rainbows and sunshine, so my fragile little maiden's soul got deeply scarred by such a hatefully realistic scene.
>>2221078
It's a good manga but like the peeps before me said, not for everyone. Give it a shot if you don't mind drama. It does have a satisfying amount of the "post-confession" stuff though.

Honestly, I dropped it when it was being translated the first time around and shit on it pretty hard, then I came back to it a few years later, having grown up a lot and made my own mistakes and suddenly it seemed a lot more hopeful. People fuck up. It's what you do about it afterwards that's the important part and there's very little fiction in general that reflects that reality.
Why does tumblr fail to understand that Korra was the proactive one that initiated the couple, and that Asami is the one that would likely faint when Korra kisses her?
>>2222798
Tumblr ships the characters they wish they were, not the characters they are.
>>2222634

Zuckerman is amazing.He also shipped the hell out of Korrasami.
>>2222799
>Tumblr ships the characters they wish they were, not the characters they are.
So that explains the baristas.
Srsly tho, it's ironic that tumblr fandoms claim to be all about unconventional relationships, and then reduce Korra to a bumbling teenage boy and Asami to an above-it-all perfect Mary Sue.

>>2223226
It's a bit overtly melodramatic. Sweet story but a lot of the spats across the various characters just seem really childish in retrospect. Satisfying conclusion though. It's one of the series I regularly reread for feels and whatnot.

The cast was bloated and not in a productive substantial way and it continued to do that throughout the show. There was no long term life put into anyone like say: http://amazinghowfire.tumblr.com/post/147269482684/what-she-says-im-fine-what-she-means-did-zuko

I disagree. Seeing as you reference some Fire Nation royal family dynamics, let me ask some questions about the LoK equivalent.
I want to know if Suyin really believed it when she said that Kuvira was like a daughter to her; and if so, how could she justify being willing to kill her at first chance? If Su appointed herself the mouthpiece of the world leaders back in 'The Coronation' (rather than "was asked") so that she could confront Kuvira. If Kuvira's interest in Bataar Jr. was coming from an honest place or if it was to get back at Su. What did Bataar mean when he said Kuvira would be "officially part of our family" (emphasis on the first word). Why the fuck did Toph keep the identity of Lin's father to herself for so long? How much of what went on in Zaofu when Kuvira left was Opal privy to and how much was secondhand from Suyin? Bataar and Kuvira seem surprised at her level of vitriol toward her.
Merry Christmas, gals!

Well, canonically she does loose a lot of her bustiness. Personally I find it more unforgivable when artists forget Korra is RIPPED.
>>2225552
>canonically she does loose a lot of her bustiness
Budget cuts means the first thing to go are the boobs. They fluctuate throughout seasons 2-4 but are hefty and consistent in season 1. Same with her having the body of someone who has done martial arts as a regiment and had access to wholesome meals and rest for 13 years, the show forgets this too. Canonically, she shouldn't lose anything if Zahir and his group didn't crawl out of their prisons malnourished and with skeleton like proportions.
>>2224228
That post was centric around Zuko and the kid from the Zuko Alone episode. Bringing in all the "royal" family of Zaofu (Hey! Not-Queen Suyin! Are you going to have your children succeed you as not-monarch since you think succession by birth is overrated?) goes through the scope of season 4 and the possible solutions don't beget further adventure like the interactions Zuko had with that kid and Aang and friends had with others. It's more sterile in LoK.

Skip to 0:50, Asami was originally suppose to bring Korra a care package. Then stop watching, because it will bring back bad memories.
>>2225575
Bolin went 15 seconds of screen time without doing something hilarious so of course they'd delete this foreshadowing to the race track ride along.
Not Janet's best work, and it feels conflicting that she never sought praise from others except from Mako. She was really cock hungry. Seems like a missed opportunity especially. Not the care package but to have Asami be the one to praise Korra for getting them into the tournament and show Korra having a reaction to her "enemy" giving her credit and acknowledging her getting the hang of airbending.
But this is a fun trip down memory lane a la crawling down a sewage tunnel.
>>2225568
>Canonically, she shouldn't lose anything if Zahir and his group didn't crawl out of their prisons malnourished and with skeleton like proportions.
Sadly, what is logical or not doesn't dictate canon. Canon is what they give us on the show, and Korra's illogical boob shrinkage is what we got.
>>2225575
>Skip to 0:50, Asami was originally suppose to bring Korra a care package.
I guess another moment between the girls without Mako being the subject was too much.
>Then stop watching, because it will bring back bad memories
I still remember my heart sinking when I realised that they were serious with Mako, and he wasn't just a Jet-style deconstruction. By the time we got to "Give her some space!" I already accepted that the series would go down as a massive missed opportunity.
(I know third and fourth books did a lot to make up for it, but imagine either of those seasons with the time, budget and attention to detail that went into the first.)
>>2225604
>it feels conflicting that she never sought praise from others except from Mako
Bryke effectively admitted that consistent characterisation went out the window when it came to Makorra. FFS, they said that from after that season, but particularly in season three and on, they "decided to listen to the characters". Which is code for "write the characters consistently!" It's a tacit admission that in season one, Korra's characterisation went out the window when it came time to devoting scene after scene to the greatest love story ever told.
>>2226397
>pic
Those scars, my secret fetish.
But, yeah, Mako made almost every scene in season 1 worse because everyone had to react like he was the greatest. Even Amon had to stop to compliment him. It did make me like Asami more, though, because she was literally the only person who called him out on his shit.
>>2226405
>Those scars, my secret fetish.
All other fights forgotten, she's probably got a few just from the Zaheer battle.
>Mako made almost every scene in season 1 worse because everyone had to react like he was the greatest.
I think Lin is the only person that didn't randomly pause for a moment to wax lyrical about how great Mako is. Of course, they rectified that big time in season two.
>It did make me like Asami more, though, because she was literally the only person who called him out on his shit.
It had to happen, because if Mako "initiated" the breakup, it might have spoke poorly to his character. And that simply was not on the cards in the first season.
>>2226395
Sometimes I find myself thinking, "Mako wasn't THAT bad." Then I rewatch Book 1 and want to bash my head in every time he's on screen because not only is he that bad, IT GETS WORSE EVERY REWATCH.

Excellent! Thanks for letting us know. I noticed a whole bunch of activity on their youtube channel, but couldn't watch anything thanks to our pals Viacom.

>>2226748
He's wholly detrimental to the entire show, and Korra in particular. FFS, at the beginning of show, two major plots points are presented: Korra needs to learn airbending, and there is a non-bender uprising brewing in RC. Both are horribly "resolved" in the final episode to no one's satisfaction in an event entirely revolving around Mako WHO SHOULD NOT EVEN BE THERE. I swear to god, the way the final confrontation was filmed, anyone new to the show would have thought Mako and Amon were rivals and that Korra was Mako's gf that found out Amon's secret. Why is Mako leading the charge against Amon? Why is shown to be the strongest opponent Amon has ever faced? Why can he resist bloodbending? Why is the prospect of Mako losing his bending more traumatic to Korra than all of Tenzin, Jinora, Ikki and Meelo, and HERSELF?
Who cares! Mako's the best! What was his role in the story again? Oh, to make the two engaging female leads devolve into his love interests and to be the strongest EVAR.
Long term, we never got any resolution as to how Korra overcame her block on airbending. She loves Mako's dick that much I guess. Even though we almost never see them getting along for more than five minutes before or after they declare their eternal, undying love for one another. Any spiritual awakening Korra was inferred to have had was written out by the beginning of the second season.
Were it not for some minor callbacks to Amon in later seasons, you could almost throw Book One into the same category as the videogame of official fanfiction.
>>2227068
>Were it not for some minor callbacks to Amon in later seasons, you could almost throw Book One into the same category as the videogame of official fanfiction.
Reconsidering, Hiroshi ends up being important in the end. But other than Asami, the first season has no long term character consequences for anyone. The irony isn't lost that Asami's story was a late addition and wasn't part of Bryke's initial vision for the Legend of Mako.

Asami's dad may as well have been someone she trusted on her board of directors for a company she inherited because both her parents died and he suddenly got a brain like Varrik and started building stuff.

He and Iroh Jr. could fly around together using their aw3s0me firebending skillz. Of course then that would set the stage for Mako/Fire Nation Princess, and we all know the endgame is supposed to be Makoperator.
>>2227523
>He and Iroh Jr. could fly around together using their aw3s0me firebending skillz
Imagine what Bryke's thought processes were when they penned that final episode.
"Okay, so we have two major conflicts. First, Korra vs Amon, her nemesis and the antithesis of everything she stands for. Second, Asami versus her father Hiroshi, who betrayed her trust and stands in direct opposition to her morals and conscience... LETS HAVE TWO AWESOMEsuper handsome, super sexyFIREBENDER BROS WITH ZERO FUCKING RELEVANCE TO ANYTHING THAT'S HAPPENED SOLVE EVERYTHING!!!! And lets give them the two actually interesting girls the story revolved around as their rewards!"
Remember, Asami was supposed to written out of the story and made into Iroh II's little waifu for no reason other than he was almost as amazing as Mako, I guess. Thank heaven Korra and Asami had Mako and Iroh II there to save the day!
>>2227523

>>2227887
I, to my shame, must concur. Makoperator is the only way to go. Even the *suggestion* of this on a couple of popular LoK blogs made Makorrafags blow up worse than anything other than the finale in the past two and half years. To actually see it happen would generate enough Makorra salt to preserve all the bacon in the world.

>Azula
>not keeping Ty Lee for herself.
>>2228303
>Look at Azula, who is only evil because of her father's treatment of her, and because he forced her mother out of her life
Not this fucking meme again. There's absolutely no indication that Azula was ever mistreated by Ozai and her issues with her mother were entirely about Azula being a baby sociopath and resenting that Ursa was creeped out by it.
Azula's problems were entirely her own creation and all blame placed on outside sources are fanfiction.
>>2228960
Ozai didn't need to lay a hand on Azula, all he needed was to have Zuko as an example of what would happen if she fucked up at all.
Also just because she's not abusing her as he did Zuko, doesn't mean that Ozai actually had a real father-daughter relationship with Azula.
>>2228965
Even ignoring the fact that he was far more supportive of her than Zuko because of her natural talents, I don't think a father not being around enough is sufficient justification for endorsing genocide.
>>2228992
Zuko at least had Ursa's unconditional love while she was around and then got Iroh. Azula does not seem to have been as lucky, especially given how much of a perfectionist she is and how much she freaked out when daddy dearest ditched her.
>>2228930

/tv/, iirc.
>>2229322
>one of her sisters from the circus
wait, i thought she joined the circus BECAUSE she didn't want to be like her sisters?
>>2229322
Now see, except for themselves, Azula is the only one that can tell them apart. That's how good she is.
That's what makes their relationship so complicated. Azula was the only one that gave her any real attention, made her feel unique and special. She tried ever so much to make her as nice as she was with her all the time, but you know how Azula is.
Especially without that Ursa buffer between her and Daddy's influence. Even more so when the hormones kicked in. Just look at Katara in Book 3. I could only imagine how bad Azula's first period would be...
>>2229521
Yes, the comics are shit. Especially with characterisation. Though they joined after when they went looking for her. Turns out they really were carbon copies.
>>2229535
>Azula was the only one that gave her any real attention, made her feel unique and special.
What about the guys that were swarming her during The Beach? That Ty Lee betrays Azula the instant it comes to a choice between Azula (whom she supposedly loves) and Mai (who only opens up to Zuko) makes it apparent that while Ty Lee may have had fun in Azula's posse (I said posse), it was never her first choice to be there. The fact that she's willing to go into the Witness Protection Programme (the Kyoshi Warriors) at the end of the series despite them being the antithesis of what she wants in show just how fearful she wasor that a lot less thought was put into Ty Lee's consistent characterisation than Mei's.
>>2229587
Even if Mai wasn't the most personable person, she was still Ty Lee's childhood friend. She wasn't going to let Azula kill her.
>>2229587
because killing Mai would have been a line Azula couldn't come back from if she crossed and Ty Lee wanted Mai to not die and for Azula to not have to deal with having killed their mutual friend.
>>2229587
The boys are just lapdogs, not the attention she wants. Which is why she runs away to Azula. Ironically she feels safer with her, which leads into why she joins the Kyoshi Warriors.
As she is so terrified of what she will do to her for her betrayal. To choose Mai over her hits Azula hard, and if it hadn't been Ty Lee that did it I'm sure she still would have had them killed. Or 'banished' whatever. So she latches onto the one unit she knows stands a chance against her and luckily for her she's just that loveable.
Something most people miss is just how much of a user Ty Lee is.
What drew Azula in may have been how Ty Lee was the Mother she wanted, yet in the end she was as bad as her father. You would think this would be an interesting dynamic to explore but the comics completely ignore it.
Ether Azula is 1. to self absorbed and delusional to realise it, 2. can't stay mad at that face, or 3. biding her time. Which is definitely what Ty Lee thinks.

Good taste, sis.
Rewatching LoK from the start, and I'm three eps in. I forgot how amazing it looked. Little subtle touches of animation here and there that were really great, like Korra casually straightening her ponytail as she walks down a hallway.
The atmosphere, art direction and music are peerless.
The fight choreography is entertaining. The equalists are a very interesting looking enemy.
Non-retard Bolin is likeable.
Tenzin is Tenzin, and you can see the seeds of endgame Korra in young Korra, and you can relate to both characters' situations and failings.
Amon is pants-shittingly scary.
But we've already had half a dozen scenes dedicated to propping up just how awesome Mako is, and why you root for Korra to end up with him. If the narrative wasn't so focused on shoving how wonderful he is down the audience's throat, his softening of his cool exterior might be interesting.
At least at this point, the romance is one-sided and from Korra's pov. Sadly, I know where the focus is going to go soon enough.
It's truly sad how horribly Bryke fuck all this up.

>>the worst seasons center on Korra
>This feels conflicting.
On the surface level, yeah. In the first 2 books Korra has the most screen time and there aren't as many extraneous plots going on. BUT. In both books there are major issues which muddle with Korra's arc, obfuscating her personal character growth by drowning it in other characters sudden awesomeness - namely Mako and Jinora. In Books 3/4, Korra very clearly drives her own arc, and isn't dumbly and illogically overshadowed by random allies.
Besides, you can't claim ANY season of LoK doesn't center on Korra - she remains the clear focal point across the series.
Whoever starts the next thread really better use a picture that has some sort of yuri in it.

>>2241201
>the worst seasons center on Korra
>This feels conflicting.
I disagree strongly. It's entirely surface. Season one is about Tarlokk and Noatak, a story told in between bouts of Mako's heroism and romance. But really, Mako's adventure with his two girlfriends is just a framing device for a conflict and story about the two waterbending brothers from the North.
Season two is about two stories: Unalaq and Tonraq, and Tenzin's relationships with his family/Korra and place therein. The stories are told in between bouts of Jinora's heroism and Mako's car crash romance. Plus there's a mini-story about Wan where he does exactly the same thing Korra is currently doing at that time and is loved for it.
Season 3 and 4 are about world events, a terrorist group, two dictators, rebellion, reconstruction, and Beifong family drama. But ublike the first two seasons, where Korra's adventures were the framing device for other stories, this time, all those stories are the framing device for Korra's story. Seasons 3 & 4 are literally the Legend of Korra.

Season one is very focused on a couple of threads, but they just happen to both be duds. The romance was dead on arrival, and Amon's story, even with the nice boat, starts strong but ends like a wet fart.
Season two is a confused, hot mess. An absolute shitshow trying to tell way too much all at once.
>obfuscating her personal character growth by drowning it in other characters sudden awesomeness
It's kind of shocking that Bryke admitted that they only decided to let the characters speak for themselves (i.e. follow characterisation) after the first season.
>namely Mako and Jinora.
I don't know if it's more satisfying that Mako got relegated from faux "deuteragonist" to the least important member of the Krew, or that Jinora is relegated to complete side character in the final season, and doesn't even speak a line in the final four episodes.
>In Books 3/4, Korra very clearly drives her own arc, and isn't dumbly and illogically overshadowed by random allies.
Bolin and Varrick still get way too much screentime that could have gone to Tenzin, Lin, Asami or Kuvira. But Korra's story is still her own, and barring some mary sue-ish acts on Kuvira's part, is never made to have to suffer for the sake of other characters' benefit.

Stuff that is in fashion for Republic city or whatever should have Asami lead, but anything water tribe Korra would lead.
>>2241992
>since fanfic tells me Korra is a terrible dancer?
Dodging =/= Dancing
The traditional bending styles are inclined to dance like the Footloose episode in season 3 of Airender. Korra's punching and kicking are more dominant as is her inability to go with the flow.
>>2241815
>I don't know if it's more satisfying that Mako got relegated from faux "deuteragonist" to the least important member of the Krew, or that Jinora is relegated to complete side character in the final season, and doesn't even speak a line in the final four episodes.
Considering how they both ruined past finales I'd rather have them be killed in a child friendly way like Yue or Amon a boat and the money going to their voice acting and animation go to Korra and Tenzin. Of course if we could prevent the stupidity that they begot from happening in the first place I'd go with that in a heartbeat.
>>2241999
You're too kind.
>>2242066
Imagining those different types of dances is making me really salty we nevr got to see them animated. The only grill we'll ever get to see Korra dancing with is Opal.
>>2242127
>Korra's punching and kicking are more dominant as is her inability to go with the flow.
Avatars are all physically gifted, and considering it was less than a week between Korra being nearly murdered by the spinning doors and her aceing them, I'd say we can agree she's a quick learner.
>killed in a child friendly way like Yue or Amon a boat
Yue sure, but Amon? Fraternal murder-suicide?! On a motherfucking boat!?
>if we could prevent the stupidity that they begot from happening in the first place I'd go with that in a heartbeat.
Even tonight I've been thinking about how to fix Book One, and my first suggestion is always "cut Mako". Ax him; gone. No romance subplot beyond Bolin initially liking Korra and being rejected. Also Bolin and Hasook don't appear again after getting equalised by Amon along with Tahno and the Wolfbats. Her teammates losing their bending makes Korra's beef with Amon personal.Second major suggestion would be to make Tarlokk aware if Amon's identity from the start. His extreme actions against nonbenders and the Equalists make much more sense that way and paint him as even more of a tragic figure. It would also show Amon is willingly playing his brother so that his extreme actions will bring the Equalist cause more sympathy.

>>2241800
>a mini-story about Wan where he does exactly the same thing Korra is currently doing at that time and is loved for it.
He fought and sealed the devil and closed off the portals to hell.
Korra let the devil out despite learning about all this and then left the portals to hell opened as well.
>>2242138
>"cut Mako". Ax him; gone. No romance subplot beyond Bolin initially liking Korra and being rejected. Also Bolin and Hasook don't appear again after getting equalised by Amon along with Tahno and the Wolfbats. Her teammates losing their bending makes Korra's beef with Amon personal.
The Amon stuff doesn't even make sense as an opener. If anything shift everything around so he's the last antagonist as then he can point to the immediate benders who he can say messed everything up. The people were finally complaining about something that happened 70 years ago and then everything's fine once Obama is in office?
>>2242162
>Korra let the devil out despite learning about all this
Wan let the devil out of Raava's grasp without knowing anything because he thought he was doing good. Korra unsealed the portal on Unalaq's say-so because she thought she was doing good. Both defeat Vaatu while combined with Raava. Only difference is Mako and Bolin were suddenly weaker than Eska and Desna so Unalaq was able to ambush Korra from behind as she was sealing him. It's the same scenario except Vaatu learned from Raava and got a human ally.
>The Amon stuff doesn't even make sense as an opener.
Remember it was conceived of as a mini-series. A top guy at Nick liked it so much, he commissioned two full seasons i.e. two twenty four ep seasons, which, with the twelve eps already produced gave us the remaining three books.
>If anything shift everything around so he's the last antagonist as then he can point to the immediate benders who he can say messed everything up.
In a perfect world, he have made a great final villain.

Where's this eye color thing coming from?
I'm sad that the anniversary thread is almost gone.
>>2242503
In the episode where Korra is shown to be as spiritual as a child when she experiences the spirit world (and everyone else remains as their normal selves in their current age because,) she meets a "pair" of frogs at Iroh's not-Alice-in-Wonderland-tea-party who are joined at the hip.
The frogs have two heads on one body, with one head having a pair of blue eyes (Korra) and the other frog having a pair of gold eyes (Mako.)
At least that was the idea that shippers brought up, along with how the male sounding one said he tried to fight their relationship, but she (his other half) grew on him.
One has a male sounding voice (gold eyes) and one has a female sounding voice (blue eyes.)
Mako is noted with being the person who said that Korra is great, but it makes more sense to go with Asami. He also calls Korra crazy and argues against her in seasons 1 and 2. So the male frog saying that he tried to fight it was thought to be a metaphor for how Mako tried to not be with Korra despite Korra throwing her character development away for him and loving him from the moment she laid eyes on him.
>>2242755
I see, but that's not really foreshadowing Korrasami though. Unless the poster wanted to say 'if you wanted to go in the other direction'. Either way, that sounds really stupid and reaching.
>>2242800
Saying that it supported the pairing of Mako and Korra or supported the pairing of Korra and Asami is stupid and reaching.
Even more so if someone said it actually was hinting at Korrasami since the writers didn't "let the characters dictate their own fate" during season 2 as that apparent statement was made after the fact back when the writers forgot about Asami for season 2 and the only idiot who said he honestly shipped it was Bryan Hetero-lenses Konietzko.
>>2242701
>I'm sad that the anniversary thread is almost gone.
On the bright side, the thread not lasting months shows activity is up from the last thread.
>>2242755
>everyone else remains as their normal selves in their current age because
To defend that sequence (which I'll rarely do), this only happened because she meditated her way in. God-Empress Jinora was in balance, so didn't experience what Korra did. Everyone else we see in the SW enters physically.
>>2242800
>I see, but that's not really foreshadowing Korrasami though
I didn't think it was. But if we're going to baselessly presume the spirit frogs were a direct reference to other happenings in the series, you could make the case for Korrasami as much as Makorra.
>Either way, that sounds really stupid and reaching.
This is true.
>>2242802
>as that apparent statement was made after the fact back when the writers forgot about Asami for season 2
They actually had a plot for her, and then decided it would be better to give it to Mako and turn her into his arm candy again. In foreshadowing of all future seasons, Mako's significance is then superseded by Bolin, and Mako never gets his own plot line ever again.
and the only idiot who said he honestly shipped it was Bryan Hetero-lenses Konietzko.
>>2242802
>the only idiot who said he honestly shipped it was Bryan Hetero-lenses Konietzko.
He really is a cringey fucker. He had a valid point, and managed to express it in such a confrontational and condescending manner that he forever alienated a bunch of the base, while giving the likes of /co/ and Makorrafags ammo.
>>2224074
>Especially given that Korra probably sleeps in the nude and RC is farm warmer than the south pole.
Not to mention sharing a bed. The real question is if Asami joins her.
>>2242877
Given that Korra is a firebender, Asami would probably pick up the habit.
>>2242886
>tfw first thought was of Ginger Asami being "firebent" by Korra
>>2242800
The joke is based on a Makorrafags unshakeable belief that the frog's eye colors/relationship was canon proof of endgame Makorra. Like, literally. I don't have the screen cap but it was full on frothing at the mouth "YOU WANT CANON PROOF?! TEH FROGS!!!!!!!" It was fucking hilarious. Anon was just pointing out that by the Makorrafags own bizarre logic, the frogs can "foreshadow" Korrasami just as much Makorra.
