I absolutely think that's the case. Asami is the real mystery here.
If we do have some Korra background, I'd like a flashback to the timeskip (a little after the time of pic related) with Korra maybe talking about how happy she is to return to RC, and Katara's eyebrow popping up at how excited she sounds when she mentions Asami.

>What was stupider: Kuvira being willing to bet everything by dueling the Avatar in front of all her dudes or Korra losing because of "Dark Korra"?

Definitely the former. Korra losing because of Dark Korra wasn't what bugged me. It was artificially trying to frame Kuvira (who was casually blasted away by P'li) as someone that could pose a threat to Korra in a one on one situation, when that never on the cards.

Kuvira's power always derived from her army and ability to rally people. Seeing her singlehandedly defeat a bunch of shit-tier bandits was a neat way of showing she was willing to get her own hands dirty, but should never have been used to posit the idea that she would be strong enough to fight the Avatar.

It still annoys me that Korra wasn't allowed to just squash Kuvira in the fight inside the Colossus.
>>
>>2323159
Korra losing because of "Dark Korra" isn't stupid at all. Korra's entire arc is centered around her PTSD. Was it a bit ham-handed? Yeah. But it's still a direct link to her most recent traumatic experience, and often recurs because...well, it's PTSD. It didn't come out of nowhere like, say, Our Lord and Savior Jinora. Or "what a guy"-resists-bloodbending Mako.

Now Kuvira publicly dueling Korra was stupid as hell. Sure you can posit that she had first-hand knowledge of the whole Zaheer/Korra fallout, that she kept tabs on the Korra as she hoboed around the EK, that she even discretely mined info from Bolin, but all of that is conjecture, and a gigantic reach. Trying to push Kuvira as a legitimate fighting physical threat instead of the charismatic fascist strategic leader she was supposed to be is perhaps the biggest disservice Bryke did to Kuvira as a character AND a villain.

They really should have had them fight more privately, with Korra winning (not necessarily easily, but there's little doubt Kuvira is outclassed and Korra is holding back) until she relapses, which allows Kuvira to escape. Kuvira then baldly lies about the circumstances of the fight, painting Korra as a monstrous out-of-control Avatar, and her version is cranked out through her trusty propaganda machine. She uses it as further justification to invade RC, which is harboring a mentally ill WMD who might lose it at any minute.

Indeed. Plus what did having Kuvira served an unearned beatdown of Korra achieve? It didn't give Kuvira new confidence, because she was bizarrely confident from the start. Su and Korra and talking with assuredness that Korra can wipe out Kuvira's entire army. So Kuvira's solution is to... challenge her to a one on one duel? If - IF - there had been some suggestion that Kuvira had had word on Korra's condition (perhaps even from some EE soldiers that saw her near the swamp, where we know there men stationed), but without that, it feels like a cheap attempt to paint Kuvira as something that she isn't.

>Trying to push Kuvira as a legitimate fighting physical threat instead of the charismatic fascist strategic leader she was supposed to be is perhaps the biggest disservice Bryke did to Kuvira as a character AND a villain.
I wonder of there were wires crossed in the writing room. "Enemy at the Gates" & "The Battle of Zaofu" are both written and directed by different people. But Tim Hedrick, who wrote the latter, also wrote Day of the Colossus, which shows Korra displaying the craziest feats of any Avatar outside of Kyoshi's real estate scam. So, it's not as though he had a thing for illustrating Korra as weak.

>They really should have had them fight more privately, with Korra winning (not necessarily easily, but there's little doubt Kuvira is outclassed and Korra is holding back) until she relapses, which allows Kuvira to escape.

That would have been a far better alternative, but it seems they were hellbent on making Kuvira into superwoman.

I think there isn't any deeper idea behind the duel than Kuvira having gotten drunk on power and that's why she thought she could take on the avatar. Those people are rarely thinking straight despite appearing so on the outside.

But when egomaniacs write checks that their butts can not cash, they don't usually get rewarded by thrashing the protagonist.

Korra had terrible booking for being in a series named after her. The strongest and most confident she ever got to be was against the bending gangsters in episode 1.
>>
>>2323242
Maybe it comes like that because Korra in itself was aimed at an older audience and struggling heroes are much more of a thing in shows like that, I mean look at animes. The original show on the other hand was much more lighter in tone due to being aimed at younger kids. Can't be a coincidence that the season finale where Aang actually loses is being said to be the best written of the show to people on 4chan.

I think it was because Bryke decided to make every season somewhat self-contained and with each having a new villain. LoK's villains didn't have a lot of time to get established as a real threat, so the fastest way to do that was to make Korra play the part of Lieutenant Worf over and over again.

>>
>>2323257
Still I stand with my reasoning that Korra having to struggle so much made her a much more compelling character. Kinda clicks with the struggle of early adulthood and finding your place in the world a lot of people experienced themselves.
>>
>>2323264
Guess that's why they had to pull out the mech. Otherwise Kuvira really wouldn't have come off as a threat.
I doubt even Zaheer would stand much of a chance now unless he plays really dirty.
>>
>>2323269
Well I don't think Zaheer had a chance in season 3 either since he barely held his own against Tenzen and Korra was drugged and/or tied up. On one hand it really pissed me off she was never allowed a proper fight at the end of season 3, on the other hand it also made for some super tense fights

Korra's tall for a girl, but short for an Avatar. Aang ended up 6'4", Roku was 6'8", Kyoshi was 6'7", Kuruk was 6'6".
And in her own life, her father is 6'6", her mentor is 6'4", her ex is 6'2", her best galpal 6'. it's no surprise everyone thinks she's a womanlet.

Exactly. That's what stung about it. They seemed to want to force Kuvira into the mold of someone like Amon, but it was never on the cards.

>>2323257
>make Korra play the part of Lieutenant Worf over and over again.
Honestly, this is really only such a problem in seasons two and four. In season two, the nature of the spirits changed from scene to scene, and in season four, the scene at Zaofu is by far the worst offender.

>>2323267
Korra's struggle at Zaofu seemed to be written with Kuvira in mind. You shouldn't hurt your protagonist's story just to prop up your seasonal villain.
>>
>>2323435
>Korra's tall for a girl,
Doesn't seem that way when she's taller than only children and Pema. They decided to keep her small compared to others like how Toph was tiny compared to others. But Toph could back up her bark with her bite.

>She did eventually lose spectacularly. Hitler's overconfidence made him look like an unstoppable military genius too, right up until it didn't.
People who say "Hitler did nothing wrong" are either Neo-Nazi or are having fun. People who say "Kuvira did nothing wrong" honestly believe that and the show did stupid shit to present her as the villain so she could be punched despite the people Korra was working for were just as bad as Kuvira in terms of not having a plan or only looking out for themselves.

Speaking of Toph I found it weird how much she shrunk in old age compared of how tall she was as an adult. I know you can lose some of that size again but damn that was a bit excessive.
>>
>>2323631
Kuvira's downfall was to try and harness spiritual power so that was one thing she did wrong. And attacking RC was bullshit since that part hasn't been part of her beloved Earth Kingdom since before she was even born and only the old Queen, who was exactly the type of person she despised, hung unto that shred of land.

Because they couldn't self insert into a relationship with Korra.

But that's like, just my opinion yeah? Let's not be cunts if we don't agree
>>
>>2323855
>they all loved korra before korrasami started to really kick off didn't they?
People, mostly 4chan, started to hate her in episode five of the first season because she didn't get with their self insert of Bolin.
Then they hated her even more as things led up to Tarrlok.
Then they hated her even more when she used airbending and got back her powers and left Asami high and dry.

Of course now looking back the majority say Asami isn't a character and just a love interest to be passed around so the last part in the finale with the kiss isn't brought up as much as before.

Do you think that sometimes Korra's Rava/spirit thingy flares up and she turns into a giant koizilla rape monster and fucks Asami for hours and she just has to sit there and take it? I like to think so.

I agree with that. But they could have pulled out the mech after it became obvious to Kuvira just how strong Korra was. She begins tearing down the domes of Zaofu immediately after that Korra fight. It would have been a fine explanation as to why she suddenly lost confidence in her army.

Do't forget that quite a lot of /co/ enjoyed the latter part of Korra and the ending. It's just that those people moved on to watching other things while those who were anally ravaged at the time are STILL stewing in their own rage.

>>2323843
It is kind of a shame to have the kiss people have been waiting two and half years for spoiled by a choppy, low res photograph.

>>2323870
They hated on the character rather than the shit plot and forced romance. Season two's early portrayal of Korra only cemented this in their minds. When things turned around in season two and beyond, they didn't care.

>Of course now looking back the majority say Asami isn't a character and just a love interest to be passed around
She has always had more going on than Mako and Bolin, even when the show does its best to shove her into the background.

Pic related.

If Korra behaved how Toph did, she'd have been lambasted in-universe and out. She DID behave how Toph would have and then grew out of it. Three years later and people still don't get that LoK was a very different show than AtLA.
FFS, whenever we see adult Toph in RC, she behaves different too.

TLA Toph was helped by the fact that she could absolutely back up all her bombast. Korra's confidence never paid off.

Also, Grown Up Toph is a horrible person.
>>
>>2324102
>Korra's confidence never paid off.
You're confusing intended insecurity masked by bravado with Toph's comedic take.
When Korra is genuinely confident rather than just angry or lashing out, she tends to back it up eg. gangsters, Tahno, opening the southern portal, subduing and capturing all if the Unalaq's kidnappers, getting info from the corrupt judge, saving Daw, finding the airbenders, beating Win at mentalbending, defeating/saving Kuvira.
Honestly, the only times she seemed entirely confident of something and was unable to back it up was being caught by Tarlokk's bloodbending, which is not something she could or should have ever expected to happen, following Zaheer into the spirit world and not expecting him to be abale to communicate in the physical world at the same time (he's the only person ever shown to be able to do this) and being unable to convince Ryuu to join the airbenders, which was played for laughs.

She was pressured and manipulated into that by Tarlokk. Remember, she was actually terrified of him. Tarlokk got her riled up, attacked her where it hurt, then reinforced her strength in her mind.

Well, for one, they're having a talk about how they felt and feel about one another that's already better than anything the show had

eg. Mako: "Now I can't imagine my life without you in it."
Why, Mako? What about her, other than her boobs, made you make that declaration so strongly? And what about her changed in the six months where you told her to get out of your life?
As least Bolin and Ginger were honest. Bolin wanted poon. She wanted fame.
Bolin and Opal was a little better. They actually had a chance to talk about themselves to one another.

>>
>>2324418
Put it this way. It was announced in July 2015 at SDCC, when hype was still strong (Turtle Duck Date Night got nearly as crazy a fan reaction as the damn grand finale). The artist (Brittney Williams) was confirmed in October 2015, at NYCC, with most people suggesting an early 2016 release for the comic. That would have put the wait time at just over a year. Not great, but predictable considering how long Nick take to work these things out and the AtLA comics taking that long.

Around the time we were hoping that the comics would be released, it turned out that Brittney Williams was dropped from the comic for some reason. We still don't know why, but she said she had anxiety, and no one at Dark Horse or Nick would comment. Mike or Bryan was asked at a convention and dodged the question, saying that they're already on the lookout for another great artist.

Then nothing. For months and months. At the SDCC, Dark Horse had an open twitter feed, where they confirmed the comic was still happening. Finally in October 2016, we got confirmation of the new artist with a release date of early 2017. Which of course was pushed back to April 2017... and then to July 2017.

It's an utter fucking shitshow, and I don't doubt that the leaks are deliberate. We're getting full, clean panels of spirit world stuff, yet conveniently, the kiss was a low-re, angled screencap.

No, it's a leak. Remember they already did legit previews a couple months ago and confirmed multiple korrasami kisses, so they have no issue with teasing a bit. But the fact that the kiss panels are so blurry and that apparently Irene Koh is pretty upset with it being out there (she has said she wanted it to be a surprise) indicates an unapproved leak. I could perhaps see that maybe the conversation was meant to be released, but somebody involved got snap happy and snuck out photos of the kiss.

Despite how...varied the quality can be, i'm happy Korra exists, one it gave us a really cute, canon ship, and two, its always fun to watch /co/ have a meltdown.
>>
>>2324510
Books 3-4 were genuinely quality. A lot of people get hung up on 1-2, but it's hardly TERRIBLE. There are scads worse series out there that are still "successful," and you can bet our cute gay canon ship those series won't end on a high note like LoK did. I'm hella critical of LoK (again, mostly books 1-2), but it's still a GREAT series. Even without a Korrasami ending.

>its always fun to watch /co/ have a meltdown.

That's pretty fair. really enjoy many parts of the show, but every time I rewatch it, I wince at how some silly decisions keep it from being great, and, at points, make it really frustrating.
Today, I rewatched the middle chunk of season four, eps 6~9.
One thing from that part of the series /u/ takes umbrage with (including in this thread) is the duel between Korra and Kuvira. Rewatching it, it's a really well choreographed set-piece. Kuvira defeating a super-rusty Korra who hasn't been on form in three years makes sense to the audience that's privy to those three years. Kuvira even notes just how out of sorts and rusty Korra is in the fight. A single line: "I've been keeping tabs on you, Avatar," would have justified everything.
It tests the audience's patience with Korra having her regress right after her first bright moment when she removed the poison. It also paints Kuvira, who had completely bamboozled Suyin, as something of a villain Sue, when there was no need to.
In light of the leaked panels we've seen of the comic, the Korrasami stuff took on another light. Srsly, if Asami were a guy, the endgame would have been obvious. Also, Mako is REALLY ineffectual, especially compared to Bolin.
Something I'd not noticed before, after the big gay hug (which was really just Korra and Asami hugging, with Mako hugging the pair of them) ends, during the pull away, Korra is smiling with her eyes locked on Asami until she has to get back to business and addresses Wu again.
Beyond the Wilds was genuinely very good, but had one really clunkly line that should have been rephrased,("I will no longer be scared of you") amidst some otherwise impactful dialogue between Korra and Zaheer.
Also, Opal is great, but in a /u/ sense, would never work with Korra or Asami.

It's alright. The reliance on the Colossus is a bit of a crutch. It's got some tense moments, though Kuvira unravelling with the death of Bataar makes one wonder what her plan was, because she was turning into Ozai Mk II.

Varrick and Zhu Li's probably didn't deserve to be the setting for the finale of the entire animated franchise, but what can you do? As for the Korrasami stuff, I loved what was there and I only wanted more.

I don't think it's a bad as Book Two ending. They needed something to serve as a massive threat, and without the budget of Book One, Book Four was never going to be able to make Kuvira's army, backed up by the spirit cannon (attached to say, a colossal tank, rather than Jet Alone) into the threat.

Imagine Korra, the airbenders, the Beifongs, Bolin, whasthisname, and the Hummingbirds versus hundreds of Mechasuit soldiers, thousands of earth and metalbendiers, and a giant turret that behaved like how it did in the show, but attached to something less ridiculous.

It took all four seasons, which included a three fucking year time skip, for Korra and Asami to go from sorta romantic rivals to actual friends to besties to lovers. With the last two seasons having most of the two women's interactions being able that transition from friends to lovers.

Makorra hooked up in half a season, violently imploded two or three times in the season immediately afterwards, then went nowhere beyond being in that awkward post-breakup limbo before everyone got over it and the two of them went back to being friends.

iii) Bolin tried to be suave. Opal told him to stop.

No one ever complained about this.

Korra spends two seasons looking at Asami like she's some kind of angelic being...

Bryan might be up his own asshole, but he's right. If a male/female habd behaved like Korra and Asami across the seasons, it not only would have been expected that they'd get together; it would have been frustrating that it would have been dragged out so long because it was so obvious.

You must admit that the ultimate conclusion and the tortuous route to get there is an illuminating window into an absolutely one track mind. Like a creationist or a modern feminist that twists everything to fit a pre-cooked conclusion.

It's the type of thinking that makes a straight ship with a tomboyish girl into a less "heteronormative ship" than a fucking lesbian couple. The girl tries to couch her reasoning in progressive rhetoric, and then just straight up declares that Korra is the "man" of Korrasami and Asami is the "woman".

It's awe-inspiring.

Shippers of Bellamy/Clarke from the 100. They're not even canon. The producer doesn't like the ship. The actors playing the two characters don't like the ship. The rest of the cast and crew don't like the ship. The writer of the books (the books and show share the same general setting and a few character names but are entirely unrelated) who wrote canon Bellarke doesn't like the ship on the show. I've been in various fandoms for well over a decade, and I've never seen shippers as gross as them. AND I WAS IN THE GLEE FANDOM. (I've heard the Vampire Diaries fandom is really nasty though.)

My reading comprehension has an extra chromosome, did that actually happen? What ship and what actor was that?
>>
>>2325295
Sadly it did actually happen. Some disturbed pervert wrote "bellarke" on their dick and tweeted it at Eliza Taylor who plays Clarke. Bellarke shippers are like Makorra shippers - they HATE the female side of their ship because she's not salivating over their heroic broody stud and she's making it difficult for them to fantasize about him in her character's place. Unfortunately they shit on the actress because she's been firm on Bellarke being platonic and because they're truly the worst. At least Makorrafags know not to come after Janet Varney.

Oh I know, I had bellarke shipping friends who watched the 100 with me and they were so fucking obnoxious about it all the time. Which was funny because they couldn't give a single reason for shipping it, literally every clarke-bellamy situation was so platonic it burned but they still saw "something" there.

I knew only dumb fucks shipped bellarke but Jesus, dick pics is a bit much, Eliza didn't deserve that.

The ATLA comics don't challenge the characters so much as retread the same ground that was already covered under a thin veil of being more of those beloved characters. Even if those characters aren't acting like themselves given their experiences.

I think there's a BINGO card floating about for the Korra comics that should be updated by now.

It's this and the fact that Mako MUST get main grill because to them he's deuteragonist - if he and Korra aren't endgame how on earth do they justify his very existence? Mako is an AWESOME HERO WHO SAVES THE DAY not some tossed aside afterthought.

>That would be fucking war.
I think one tentatively vaguely tried to shame Janet and got shot down faster than Makorra did. Even /co/ doesn't mess with her. Although it was pretty entertaining to watch them contort themselves into pretzels to counter some of her pro-LoK/Korrasami/Korra opinions without insulting her intelligence.

>>2325955
They'll definitely be better than Gene Yang. Considering how strong Books 3-4 were I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. They might get a little SJW cringeworthy at certain points (let's face they already did in both AtLA and LoK anyways) but they should be able to construct a relatively solid plot and characterization. Honestly I'm most worried about Everybody's Favorite unnecessarily gobbling up pages.

That's my biggest problem. Aang had already been through this bulshit when he was trying to figure out how to take out Ozai without killing the moobslord. He even went as far as to meditate on top of a mythical creature-thought extinct-as ancient as time who gave him plotbending powers.

His promise to Zuko didn't make any sense and, at least in The Promise, the art is bland at best and awful at worst (The Search vastly improves over this desu).

>>2326074
Well, the Katara-Aang "sweetie" calling is HIBY levels of cringeworthy, and I never had a problem with that ship before.

>>2326123
I actually thought Ursa pussying out was reasonable. I mean, the woman has been through so much abuse... What doesn't make sense is why she would write that stupid fake letter that 1. antagonized her own son with his father and 2. put his life in danger (rendering her initial sacrifice pointless).

She may be big on the EK (though we don't know anymore after she turned her back, plus Kuvira could have put her propaganda machine to good use against her) but RC is another cherry. I know Raiko is pissed (he always is).

Korra probably meant best, but if you let it sink for a minute, it was a bad idea.

That would create a new rift between Lin (a RC patriot and an advocate for accountability) and her.

It would make for a good subplot if you get Bataar Sr. to agree with Lin, Su then threatens Bataar with divorce (all because she originally wanted to keep it together, destroying it herself in the end, like a good Beifong).

Irrelevant. Wu is a side character used solely for comedic effect. He is unworthy of THE GREAT AND WONDERFUL MAKO who certainly should not have to settle for main girl because he is MAIN GUY that's JUST HOW IT WORKS.

Only to go along with that suggestion of Wu's and throw her support behind it without thinking. The show, and now possibly the comic, seem to want to uphold this tradition. Though Mako agrees with it so he can't pull that holier-than-thou shit like he did in Book 2.

Nah, Asami avoiding that trope is the one of the few thing Bryke got inarguably right. Broody "mysterious" love interest? Character falls flat and sucks up screen time without adding anything of true import. Love triangle? Stupidly immature, detracts from the plot and interferes with Korra's character growth.

Plus if Asami turned out to be an equalist, it weakens the moral that it's a person's actions which makes them good or bad, as opposed to their genetics/abilities. She's the only suitable foil to Hiroshi.

Saint Asami and the Tenzin/Korra relationship are two things I wouldn't change a bit. That being said, Equalist Asami is still a fun idea to explore in fanfic/fanart.

Mako himself was definitely a bald-faced attempt to reel in the Zuko fangirls. But because he was created expressly for that purpose he was about as 2 dimensional as paper, whereas Zuko - despite sharing so many surface traits - is much more nuanced and genuine because he was created to actually service the story instead of tweeny-bop fangirls.

It doesn't help that Mako is a grown-ass adult while Zuko was a teen, so there's much less excuse for his deplorable behavior. Add in Mako being introduced as basically god-tier off the bat while Zuko struggled to grow into his innate talents...well. For all that Asami is the rich heiress and Mako the poor street-rat...Mako is the one whose character reeks of entitlement. It's all in the meta.

Korra's sounds a little bit too high but you get used to it and she sounds pretty in love during her last scene with Asami

>For what fucking purpose?
>What were they thinking when they wrote Mako?

Season one and Mako were a harmonic convergence of shit - a confluence of events and time that produced such an unbearable yet pointless character.

Nick wanted a male protag, while Bryke to their credit, said it was Korra or nothing. Test audiences of boys liked Korra (not that they would end up being the primary audience anyway). But received wisdom was that you needed a guy for the boys to relate to, because Korra having boobs meant she may as well be an alien.
So we got a combination of supplementary studio mandates for a male hero to compliment Korra (even if that makes no sense in universe) combined with Bryke deciding that their little side romance could be blown up into a season-long love triangle.
Also, Mike and/or Bryan treated Mako as something of a self-insert for themselves.

All of this happened without any oversight of Bryke, who wrote it alone. Thus, nobody was there to tell them that even though they were massively expanding Mako's abilities, screentime and switching the focus of the romance from Korra to him, that you had to actually expand on his character beyond the cliff notes from 2011. They just thought he was handsome and cool, and dreamy (Bryan called him a beautiful man) and that would suffice.

Thankfully, the audience rejected him big time. Even in the commentaries for the first season, David Faustino and Mike are joking about how disliked Mako is.
I still think it took them a while to understand why people disliked him, because when they TRIED to write him to be unlikable in season two, they juxtaposed him with super flaky and emotional Korra, so he came off as sensible even when he was being an utter, utter cunt.

Agreed. It's a shame that they didn't seem to know how to take advantage of having an irregular character like Asami in the plot. Book Three improved on things a little, but it still felt like the writers were loathe to give her excess screentime.

It definitely felt akin to that, but SO more cynical. I still remember my face falling when I realised Bryke were going to fully embrace a tropey romance of the type they spent AtLA taking the piss out of. There's a reason so many of us pushed for Borra at the time. Not because of love for Bolin, but just to prevent Makorra from happening.

>>2326820
>add in Mako being introduced as basically god-tier off the bat while Zuko struggled to grow into his innate talents...well.
It offends me when people compare the two as though they were comparable in significance. Zuko is an actual deuteragonost, around whom half the story is focused.
Mako looks like he was inserted after the fact.

That they're both dreamy, bad boy with a heart of gold, firebenders in love with the Avatar is utterly surface. Tenzin is the deauteragonist of LoK. By quite some distance.
Honestly, Korra's story is less reminiscent of Aang's and more or Zuko's, with Tenzin playing the role of a less Mary Sue-ish Iroh.

Believe it or not, /pol/ is more open to having its mind changed than /co/. I've been on /pol/, seen LoK being vaguely alluded to, and /co/fags over there going on their usual tirade - years later - about how much they hate Korra etc. The same thing happens on most bigger boards, such as /v/. It's usually one or two /co/ faggots autistically screeching. The regulars of the boards then internalise that. One thing those /co/fags cannot stand though is being challenged, because most of them only watched the show once or never at all, and get all their opinions from the worst screechers on /co/ itself. If you actually paid attention to the show, you can disarm them very easily.

There's a certain satisfaction in Jinora being pretty useless in season four. She would have missed Korra if not for Ikki. She gets captured by the spirit wilds (the only other bender that gets caught is Ryuu) and has to be saved by Korra. She's ineffectual in the final battle and almost gets Tenzin killed when he has to save her from Kuvira's deathbeam.

I didn't feel satisfaction so much as disgust that they put so much effort into Jinora only for those things you listed to happen.

I just around to finishing my rewatch of the whole series, and it's still ridiculous how overpowered the Colossus is. There are multiple scenes of Asami, Korra, Varrick and others declaring how unstoppable it is. "Hey Korra, what's that you're holding? Is that the script?"
Korra says they can't stop it, but they can slow it down... Korra then does this: >>2305645
By all logic , that should have been enough to stop the damn thing. We saw that airbenders were able to deflect the canon, and were impossible for Kuvira to catch. Just have the airbenders play defence while Korra throws building-sized rocks at the stupid thing all day. Platinum is dangerous in the Avatarverse because it's unbendable, not because it's indestructible. It only took Kuvira's engineers a couple of months to completely tear down, and reforge all the platinum in Zaofu, without bending any of it.

>Disarm seasons 1 and 2.
The complaints for seasons one and two are usually overblown. Not that there aren't many, MANY legitimate complaints, but the ones you hear from /co/ are always about Korra being too strong, or too weak and ineffectual, or - bizarrely - never suffering consequences for her actions. Or how she "ruined the world" or started the war Unalaq and Tonraq were starting regardless of her input.
>>
>>2326410
>The issue is that Bryke gave her SO many reasons to cry

The main problem I had with Korra as a character that since she is not the smartest girl, to put it mildly, her main cool point was supposed to be that she is incredibly talented in the arts of all type of the bending, but the authors never had allowed this her talent to truly shine. And Korra was like a punching bag in every season.

I hope in the comic they will let her have cool moments.

Agree, she isn't stupid. But she isn't smart either. Korra is average, I would say. That's what I tried to tell. And the only thing in which she was supposed to show her exceptionality was her incredible talent in the arts of fighting. But they deprived her of this, too.

Or maybe they really wanted to tell the story of the worst avatar and there is simply no need to dig deeper than necessary

Season 1 is actually very good if we understand that WE don't need to fall in love to Mako in order to enjoy it. Korra likes him as the new-to-the-world horny teenager she is, tries to get in his pants and succeds, good for her. The plot of the season was enjoyable and the love triangle spiced it.

Season 2 is hard to defend, but it's not worse than ATLA season 1. I guess that's the best thing I can say about it.

AtLA Book One has a strong conclusion (Zuko's rocks solid, Koh is a memorable creature, The Moonslayer's actor kills it), which is what a lot of people take from it.

I've rewatched all of AtLA and LoK in the past few months. I have to say that some of the early dreaded filler eps from AtLA which I originally found mind-numbing were better than I remembered (but Aang and Katara suffer A LOT on rewatch).

Spirits is less forgivable as well, because with Water, the creative team were still finding their feet. Fans were hoping that Spirits would address their issues with Air (and while it put Makorra in the ground), it felt like a whole new raft of mistakes were made.

>Season 1 is actually very good if we understand that WE don't need to fall in love to Mako in order to enjoy it. Korra likes him as the new-to-the-world horny teenager she is
It's understandable WHY Korra likes Mako. If it were left at that, Mako wouldn't be much of an issue. The problem is the narrative goes out of its way (to the detriment of the plot AND Korra's personal growth) to prop Mako up. Of course viewers can take what they will of the show, everybody has their own interpretations, but it's very clear that Bryke wanted the audience to fall at Mako's feet, because they framed it that way.

>it's not worse than ATLA season 1. I guess that's the best thing I can say about it.
I am one of the ones who will recommend LoK over AtLA almost every time, but this is just wrong. AtLA book 1 drags, but overall doesn't hold nearly as many egregious mistakes as LoK book 2.
>>
>>2327528
>It's understandable WHY Korra likes Mako.
He's a handsome street orphan who looks better than people who grew up in luxury.

And? I'm still not understanding why since being hot is a huge plus for a teenager in this day and age.

And ATLA's season 1 doesn't drag. They're going from the South to the North pole and learning how things have changed since Aang's time plus Katara and Sokka have never been out of their village. It's a new experience and that's what you do with a new setting, you explore it beyond a stadium, an island, and muted alleyways like how LoK failed to use its setting to explore.

I think it has more to do with the ratios between cast size and character quality/performance.

>>2327541
LoK had much tighter plots per season instead of a sprawling tale that allows for a small plot per episode. The tighter plotting isn't a bad thing--except where they didn't have enough time to tell the story. The story is much more mature and much grayer too, which is why I consider it better and like it more.

>>2327552
Airbender blows LOK out of the water in the character quality and performance category. The only worthwhile stories going on in LOK are Korra and Tenzin's versus Zuko, Katara, Aang, Sokka, Azula, and Iroh. Not to mention the voice acting was better for TLA as was the choreography.

Wut. Are you saying you don't understand why Korra would be attracted to a handsome street orphan? He's a talented pro-bender who embodies a lot of the city life she's been yearning for. Pretty simple.

>And ATLA's season 1 doesn't drag.
It did a bit. It gets very "village of the week." Which is understandable, because the universe needed exposition, and that was one way to do it.

>it's a new experience and that's what you do with a new setting, you explore it beyond a stadium, an island, and muted alleyways like how LoK failed to use its setting to explore.
ok /co/mrade. Let's ignore that LoK had half the episodes AtLA did. Let's also ignore that LoK characters were adults (mostly, Korra did start at 17) and tasked with completing actual goals in short timelines and were unable to roam around the world.

>>2327546
Not if you take your nostalgia goggles off. AtLA was more consistent overall, but LoK's last 2 books were much tighter.

AtLA was geared towards a younger audience. LoK was geared towards an older one. The tones of each is very different. So a lot of this is preference.

AtLA had a lot of "empty" episodes (largely because nick kept ordering more). LoK tended to have too much plot (largely because they had too FEW episodes. Again, thanks nick!).

If I had to pick the top 3 strongest books out of the entire franchise, it'd be (in no particular order) LoK 3 & 4 and AtLA 3.

If I had to pick the best book finale, it'd be LoK's book 3 "Venom of the Red Lotus." AtLA's book 3 "Sozin's Comet: Avatar Aang" had that dumb chiropractic rock that keeps it from being #1. Although if you lump all the Sozin's Comet episodes as one finale, it's considerably better thanks to the Zuko/Azula/Katara fight.

Aang's story is the fairly typical hero's journey done very well. Korra's story bumbles a bit, but is multifaceted, and thus personally more compelling.

The best which I can think of off the top of my head is: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6680761/1/The-Adventures-of-Avatar-Azula
It is part 2 of a story that began with: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6396566/1/Trapped

The narrative switches between during the War and years afterward, but it seems to be half as long as the writer originally intended.

Don't expect much in the way of lemons since there really only has one painfully awkward/cute first kiss and Azula and Toph travel the world as life partners doing Avatar shit.

Which is why I said AtLA is more consistent. But when you get to LoK's latter half, the storytelling, pacing, and general cohesion is better than any of AtLAs individual seasons.

>LoK's villains were terrible.
...Are you being serious? LoK had, without a doubt, the better villain cast. Zhao is fun, but wholly 2-dimensional. The main big bad of the entire series, Ozai, is not much better. Zuko, while starting an antagonist, was never a villain. Azula remains the only villain in AtLA of note. Granted she's excellent (she's actually one of my fav characters in the series), but it's still just her. LoK has two fantastic villains in Amon and Zaheer/the Red Lotus. The others, Unalaq/Vaatu and Kuvira, while admittedly poorly executed, were still better conceptualized than Ozai.

AtLA's "Gaang" is far superior to LoK's "Krew," for sure. But they're outclassed in terms of villains.

Bolin is one-note wacky. Asami barely gets to talk and her lines are dry except for when she's being playful with Korra. Mako has a stick up his ass but not in a fun way like Lin. Ikki is the only good air child in not being grating like Meelo or awful like Jinora. Su is shit and so is Tonraq.

It's called planning and they did not plan well. If her goal was towards the city and learning spirituality then she didn't visit spiritual hotspots nor did she explore the city and interact with the people beyond her love interest, his brother, and Asami.

>AtlA Seaon 1

I watched AtlA Season 1 after LoK and I was underwhelmed and disappointed with the complete lack of mid-term continuity/progression/objectives, as the season felt like a bunch of filler episodes taking place in random locations, making me never care about the places or the mission in the slightest. As a fun fact, I was watching the show simultaneously with a friend online; at some point he clicked the wrong episode and he did not realize he had watched it in the wrong order until we talked later, which says a lot about progression. As for the episodes themselves, some were good, some were meh filler, some could perfectly belong in My Little Pony. I only got hype when the final battle approached, but then spirits happened, the moon was a fish and Aang fused with the ocean to turn into the Kraangken.

Aang’s character was all over the place, going from a general cloudcuckolander in the early episodes to the calm talk to Zuko in the Blue Spirit, to the mature realization that he had caused a 100 years war, to being malicious and dumb enough to betray his friends about their father, to being naïve as he believed that Katara was in danger during the fire dragon performance, to being a retard who severely burned Katara, to implausibly succeeding in his talk to Koh. Felt more like character roulette or character as-the-daily-plot-demands than character progression.

Zuko and Iroh were interesting, but that’s all about S1.

They're comparable. Same voice director, many of the same actors. If you want to say Donnie Brasco's Zuko and Grey deLisle's Azula tips AtLA over the edge, that would be fair, because those two were able to raise up clunky dialogue with their performances. But saying the opinions of someone that prefers LoK's VA cast are forfeit is daft.
>>
>>2327588
>TLA never fell off the map like it did starting with the finale of S1 and lasting all through s2

LoK season 2 got back on its feet, and was okay until the dire finale. AtLA has its bad eps peppered throughout the series. One thing I noticed on rewatch was that the filler eps at the beginning of Earth aren't a whole lot better than the much derided filler eps of Water. It's easy to forget, but they only spend a small part of the season in Ba Sing Se, which is what everyone remembers and praises about Earth.

>LoK's villains were terrible.

I've been beaten to it, but AtLA had one - ONE - good villain across sixty episodes.
Amon is the most threatening villain the franchise has ever had, and Zaheer is a hipster darling who did only what Azula had done before him and enact real changes in the story as whole.

This is a dirty little secret about AtLA. Aang isn't a great protagonist. Sometimes his joviality is written to be genuine, other times it's written to be concealing other emotions. This would be great if it wasn't the case that it was random which was which.
It reminds me of how Kai was written in Book Three of LoK. The writers that liked him wrote him as mischievous, but good natured. Those that disliked him wrote him as an arrogant, ungrateful little shit.
Aang suffers from this too, and it's far more detrimental to the show because it's the protagonist in this instance.
Even when they seem to get a handle on Aang, and he undergoes a life-changing moment and realisation at the end of Earth and the beginning of Fire, he regresses to his season one self for half the season, except for whenever he's needed to suddenly be the sage airbender giving Katara or Zuko counsel.
We're not entirely joking when we call AtLA "Legend of Zuko".

>Zuko and Iroh were interesting, but that’s all about S1.
I think Sokka was fun after they stopped giving him cringey, "sexist" dialogue after four episodes.

This is the last post from me on this subject: Zuko was a villain in s1 despite all the development and screen got, Long Feng was creepy as hell, and Ozai had tons of charisma. I hope nothing needs to be said about Azula since she is the GOAT.

Amon was great until his backstory and blood bending were revealed, and that and pro-bending and the love triangle came close to ruining s1. Zaheer was also cool, but his motives and the Red Lotus organization felt ill defined. Lin's second in command was a RL mole? Kuvira was also poorly defined. Unalaq turned into the damn Dark Avatar, which was probably the worst part of the entire franchise.

Take off those nostalgia goggles before they fuse with your face, sis.

>The only worthwhile stories going on in LOK are Korra and Tenzin's
Lin and Tenzin. Amon and Tarlokk. Hiroshi and Asami. Lin and Su. Opal and Bataar/Kuvira is underrated. Korra and Asami (mostly background, but I'll take it).

>versus Zuko, Katara, Aang, Sokka, Azula, and Iroh

Zuko and Azula yes, though the latter doesn't have much character development (until her unearned breakdown). It's made up for by Sokka growing throughout the series.
Iroh's flanderisation began in late season two and never subsided. Katara's story and character development is her just getting stronger and stronger and more perfect to the degree where you wonder what the point of Aang is (she's like Mako in reverse). Aang's characterisation is spotty, and his final revelation/decision is hampered by being carried by contrivance after contrivance.
But to be fair, Mai and Ty Lee are great, and Roku's past with Sozin is too.

Clancy Brown elevated him, but if Amon's impact is mooted by his story's weak end, then Long Feng surrendering to Azula in one of the more forced moments of the show defangs anything he ever was.

>Ozai had tons of charisma.
He didn't. Even Mark Hamill couldn't save him.

>and that and pro-bending and the love triangle came close to ruining s1.
Won't argue with you there. it could have been salvaged if not for Bryke's bizarre insistence that Korra not earn a victory over Amon. I'm not inferring things here; Bryan said that they didn't want Korra to defeat Amon in a climactic battle because it would have been rethreading AtLA.

>Zaheer was also cool, but his motives and the Red Lotus organization felt ill defined.
So it was a accurate portrayal of real life anarchists?

>Kuvira was also poorly defined
Kuvira was a very flawed villain, but not in that respect. She was the most well-defined villain since Ozai! It was her motivations that were sketchy, but at least she had them.

>Unalaq turned into the damn Dark Avatar, which was probably the worst part of the entire franchise.
Well... yeah.

I can't believe they wrote that. For a franchise that had previously been about and would return to villains being well-intentioned, but being unbalanced to write a character that straight up call himself "the Dark Avatar"...

Even Phoenix King Ozai would have rolled his eyes at that one. Azulon would have thought it was awesome.

>It's understandable WHY Korra likes Mako. If it were left at that, Mako wouldn't be much of an issue. The problem is the narrative goes out of its way (to the detriment of the plot AND Korra's personal growth) to prop Mako up. Of course viewers can take what they will of the show, everybody has their own interpretations, but it's very clear that Bryke wanted the audience to fall at Mako's feet, because they framed it that way.
Mako's treatment in subsequent seasons is tacit admission of their own fuck up. However, it wasn't immediate. Bryan (and to a lesser extent Mike) were super-salty at the initial audience reaction to Mako during Book One's run and immediately after.
Remember Bryan's "try being in college and being in love with two girls" defence - used without irony - when people complained that Mako was completely unrelatable?

>I am one of the ones who will recommend LoK over AtLA almost every time
I prefer LoK to AtLA overall, but I recognise the flaws in LoK can be more glaring. It's also quite the chore to ask people to sit through some of the consistent dregs served up in "Air" and "Spirits". It's why LoK is harder to recommend, even though I enjoy it more.

Sis, the villages of the week may as well have been on different planets for all the connection they had to one another. Even the Fire Nation villages from the third season could have been swapped out for generic Earth Kingdom villages or towns occupied by the FN, and kept their stories intact..

>>2327573

This also helps a static character like Toph to shine. She can get up to her shenanigans no matter the scenario and it will fit, and be an audience pleaser. Works for Katara, too. But Sokka can switch between being the only sane man that realises that they need to get a move on to being just as disinterested in the main plot as the others.

>Aang's story is the fairly typical hero's journey done very well.
>Korra's story bumbles a bit, but is multifaceted, and thus personally more compelling.
I agree, but a fairer comparison would be Korra and Zuko. Both have to make hard decisions to overcome genuine, consistent character flaws (not ones that come and go), both suffer greatly for choosing the hard path, both give up their positions, let down their mentor, both fail at their greatest test only to recover and come back wiser for it. Both their final moments in their finales are tanking a blast of imminent death to protect an overpowered female bordering on mary-sue character.

>Amon is the most threatening villain the franchise has ever had, and Zaheer is a hipster darling who did only what Azula had done before him and enact real changes in the story as whole.
Airbender had the Fire Nation which worked as a unit, a massive foe that had its hands in every cookie jar setting the world ablaze with the effects of war. Zhao is crazy but his burning ambition nearly doomed the earth, Azula is Azula, and Ozai represents the unchecked consuming nature of fire.

Amon and Zaheer are trumped by Unalaaq in that he posed the greatest threat by unleashing UNSPEAKABLE EVIL and it took three deus ex machina to stop him, and even then he destroyed the past lives and forced Korra to think that leaving the gates of hell opened was a good idea. This allows material for bombs to come to the public eye and gets the Earth Queen involved since she went and grabbed up airbenders which eventually allowed Zaheer's gang to take the wind out of her sails.

Unalaaq changed the way everything happened, the rest pick up after him. Amon may as well have never happened except for Asami's side of the story since they'd need a reason for her dad to be in jail and for her to feel hurt by it.

>>2327758

I always give the main protag more weight when rating shows. Korra and Janet Varney blows Aang and Zach Eisen out of the water in almost every aspect. Only Grey Delisle holds against Varney. Basco as Zuko is great, I'd rank him about the same as Tenzin's Simmons. Whether you like the bending brothers or not (I emphatically do not) their VAs do a great job, easily on par with Sokka. Katara is solid, as is Asami - they both have plenty of moments they shine. The villains VAs in AtLA (aside from Azula) are all meh, while the villains VAs in LoK (aside from Unalaq) are all top tier.

Listen it's not like AtLA is bad, quite the contrary. But quality across the board in LoK is simply better, and you simply can't hold up Delisle voicing the villain and say her great performance matters more than Varney's great performance as THE LEAD.

I'm certainly not new to Avatar, but I'll admit that I didn't once search for a fic of either show until the end of "Change" (because I desperately wanted some Korrasami angst fics after the finale of season three).

So, was "Avatar Azula" a theme in fanfics before? And if so, HOW?
>>
>>2328021
Not really much of a theme so much as a bit of an idea that kinda got made into a few fics. Pretty much you take the young, daddy's girl and nationalistic as fuck Azula and make her find out she's the avatar after you kill off anag before he flash-freezes himself as well as the following water and earth avatars in a timeframe appropriate to making Azula the new avatar. Which leads to all kinds of fun.

It's kinda like the equalist!asami AUs, or more recently red lotus!korra AUs. Only not as popular.

So Aang, and the prospective water and earth Avatars have to be killed off? Okay, I can see that (Aang isn't exactly Zuko). But how do you get around Azula being identified as the Avatar by the FN? Unless that's part of it?
>>
>>2328067
IIRC, Azula tended to be detained and tortured and her eyes taken out, so Iroh had to effect a rescue.

There really were only 2 or 3 stories/series of stories that I've ever seen.
>>
>>2328067
The avatar isn't someone you can instantly identify unless they start bending more than one element. Aang didn't know until he was like 12 and Korra was apparently exceptional in managing three elements when she was a chubby little toddler.

This isn't helped at all by how even the FN doesn't have the capability to track exactly when the avatar died, when Rava found the new body, and what individuals could have ended up as the new host. The fire nations is fairly spread out so they'd have to check for every kid born into the fire nation royal family around the same time to every random ass peasant, to every random ass colonist, to every random ass half-breed war bastard rape baby.

Hell for Korra the White Lotus had to chug around between the north and south pole and answer pretty much every shitty little rumor and claim and that was difficult enough even though the water tribes were far more concentrated at those poles outside of a few communities like the swap benders and maybe some significant populations in places like Republic City.

Something that makes me wonder; the only two times we've seen the Avatar being searched for are in the Air and Water nations.
The Air Nation operated very differently from the other countries - both in-universe and in real life.
I wonder if the White Lotus only visited families with histories of birthing benders? Roku was a nobleman. Korra was born to the goddamn prince of the Water Tribes. I get the impression that outside of the Air Nomads, the Avatar was usually identified quickly
>>
>>2328103
The air nomads were supposed to be exceptionally spiritual, so they may have had some method of identifying avatars easily.

Also given that it took till korra was a toddler and the WL had been dealing with all sorts of false claims and were clearly not expecting Korra to actually be the avatar, I'm kinda doubtful that Avatars are generally quickly identified.

Barring them pulling shit like pending multiple elements.

That's sissy talk. I mean Her dad, aunt, their mutual friends, her granddad, her great uncle, her great grandad and great great grandads all got into land wars in the EK and it only ended badly when the Avatar sided against the youngest half of them.

Honestly, without the Colossus, Avatar State Korra could have handled the army single-handedly, just like Su asked her.

Though, what SHOULD have happened was that Korra enforced the brokering of a peace deal. The threat of the Avatar is what stopped would-be tyrants for millenia. Just look at Sozin.
Ozai and Kuvira are exceptions because the Avatar was compromised at the time, and as Chin... Kyoshi was busy with her harem.

The absolute dumbest thing though is the nerfing of Korra's abilities back in season two. No, she doesn't need the fucking URN navy to fight Unalaq.
No, she's not forbidden from interfering in internal Water Tribe business (otherwise Kyoshi what was Kyoshi doing forcing the Earth King to create the Dai Li?).
Also, when Korra was in the Avatar State in season two, she had access to ALL the techniques and memories or ten thousand years worth of the most talented benders of all time. And we're supposed to buy that NONE of them ever had to combat spirits before and come up with reasonable technique to do so? The bridge between the two worlds never had run-ins with spirits before? Except Aang. And Kuruk. And Wan...

Of course, in season two, we learn that bending was first given to humans for the specific purpose of defending themselves from spirits. Unalaq was such a dangerous opponent because bending didn't work on spirits.
Wait...

>>2329365
>If IRC they all dwell in the spirit world (Kuruk still looking for Koh, Kyoshi bathing in her enemy's blood and Aang doing pic related).

No; the projection Aang was entirely in Tenzin's head. The Avatars themselves die and are reborn. Their spirits move onto the next life. Raava just held onto the memories of every Avatar.

>>2329482
>Korra getting the past lives beaten out of her was the most brutal moment of the franchise

It was also utterly unearned. Korra hulks up, dominates the fight, initiates a test of strength, with Unalaq obviously struggling.

And then he tears Raava out of her. It's like there was paragraph missing from the script. He just needed to be close? Not to defeat her? Then why try to kill her? What was the huge fight about?

The Wan episodes were beautiful, but they weren't very useful as lore. Why on earth would Korra leave the spirit portals open after seeing what a mess it was to leave humans and spirits able to run into each other?
>>
>>2329769
I think we were supposed to get the impression that Korra recognised (from her time at Iroh's Mad Hatter party) that spirits not under Vaatu's influence may be different and alien, but they weren't by definition hostile. And that there might be things to learn from them?
But then we see fuck loads of other spirits doing horrid shit of their own volition. FFS, Korra only got separated from Jinora in the first place (leading to the latter's capture and release of Vaatu) because some cunt Prairie Dog spirits decided that Korra trying to defend herself from them was out of order, and Wan Shit Tong ratted out Jinora.

It just left a whole lot of people baffled as to what Korra's hope for the future was. She did say that she felt it wasn't right that only the Avatar be the bridge, so maybe she wanted to afford other people the opportunity to explore a new frontier?

More likely spirits running wild (like they do in vast swathes of the former Republic City) would create a ton of work for the Avatar since humans apparently lost the ability to fight off spirits with bending.

>She did say that she felt it wasn't right that only the Avatar be the bridge, so maybe she wanted to afford other people the opportunity to explore a new frontier?

It's called meditation, and spiritual enlightenment thereby allowing one's spirit to walk about separate from the physical body.

Not take the bus going into the portal. There is no respect in LoK for the station of the Avatar, spirituality, nor the idea of a "non-bender."

It was a chieving this herself that apparently made Korra decide to leave open the portal, so... maybe she foresaw some sort of universal balance that could be achieved in a world with spirt portals, but without Raava and Vaatu hatefucking the landscape for thousands of years...

We know that leaving open the portals brought back airbenders. Somehow. I don't know. Maybe the spirits of the dead really do exist in the SW (as actual ghosts, rather than demi-spirits like Iroh or damned souls like the Moonslayer) and leaving opened the portals allowed for a connection to the souls of airbenders from whom modern folk claim distant heritage.
Maybe the lion turtles hang out there and just that is enough to awaken bending in humans? Maybe the portals being open can passively energybend people's souls that are sensitive to it?
Maybe the physical and spirit worlds have had portals for so long that both worlds have adapted and it's now the natural order? Benders of four elements wasn't the natural order ten thousands years before though, so why... By explaining where benders came from, but then framing bending as a natural state of the world...
I'm not drunk enough for this.

Season 2, and the Wan episodes, was a horrible idea executed terribly and the impact of its awful effects echoed forward.

Even if the audience can fanfic about the decision to make humans understand spirits better, all evidence is against it and nothing comes about it during the show. It just makes Korra seem immature that she doesn't want that part of her job in the first place.

Varrick does explain that they don't explode unless treated a certain way. The "pure spirit energy" is unstable and unusable in "typical earth conditions." (Otherwise, we'd have to accept that there weren't any house fires, gas explosions, etc. in three years in the largest city in the world anywhere in the vicinity of any of the vines.)
To get the energy out, you have to use "electrical currents, reverse magnetic polarity and... the Varri-effect."
Presumably the vines Mako blew up had already undergone this treatment.

>It didn't seem like a natural conclusion to reach and comes across as Korra not wanting to deal with it so she's abandoning that part of her (the Avatar's) self inflicted duty.

It's meant to come across as Korra thinking it shouldn't be in only one person's hands to be the bridge between the worlds. But other than Unalaq, with his never-followed-up-upon allusions to their being some vagueness to the idea of spirits and humans living together negative (and Zaheer, I suppose), was anyone clamouring for the material and spirit worlds to be joined?
I think it came down to Bryke panicking and feeling like unless there was some payoff (beyond SWT independence, which no one cared about), then the entire season was a waste of time.

I can't believe my biggest contribution to these threads was Makolin green text. I don't even ship it.

>Well yeah, the show put more emphasis into Mako and Lin than it did Asami

Rewatching the whole series made me realise just how little screentime Lin gets overall (in comparison to precious Mako and everybody's favourite Bolin. But when she does appear, she tends to get the spotlight, and real focus. It's why, despite her limited screentime, we know far more about Lin as a person than we do Mako, Bolin, Asami, Varrick, Zhu Li, Pema and Tonraq.

>There's really not enough Linorrasami and most or all of it was done around the season 1.

Back then, Korrasami felt as likely as Korralin.
