They wanted a yuri ending, okay, I get it.
Why did they have to go with Asami+Korra ?
That made no sense, their relationship wasn't like that.
If they wanted to make a yuri ending so badly, why not just add a new character for this sole purpose ?
They could have easily introduced a new female character to be Korra's love interest in season 4.
I dunno .. something like
>Korra fucks off to fight earthbending cage matches
>Gets her ass handed to her by a new female character
>New character is total bro, befriends Korra without realizing she's the avatar
>shit happens, then she finds ot Korra's the avatar and tries to help her get better
>They both grow very close
>blah blah yadda yadda
>In the end both fuck off to the spirit world
>filthy earth peasant + sweaty avatar hawt yuri action ensues
>profit
You didn't have to make a new thread.
>>68167365
Asspull is literally the only explanation.
keep your cancer in one thread
no retard, they didnt want a lesbian ending specifically, they wanted a korrasami ending. their first intention wasnt to make it lesbian, asami was just the last viable (in their minds) option for a romance they thought was necessary
completely fucking retarded
"Korra's a dyke" threads
officially the new Frozen General
Why is everyone so buttmad over a lesbian ending?
I mean, seriously guys, it's not like this series is any good anyways
>>68167416
"Everything's going to lesbians" has started to overflow, and we're sick of it.
It's also the cementing blow to Korra's horrible writing.
>>68167416
People get sick of lesbians. Writers use them as a shield wall for criticism.
>>68167365
>yuri
Lesbians anon, we're not gooks.
>>68167416
Kind of implies 2 things
>Tomboys are dykes
>A strong female character can't end on their own without a relationship, dyke or otherwise
Literally, Korra despite it's mediocrity is the only show I can think of with a (relatively) strong female lead for kids that defies certain stereotypes and they made her a dyke.
>>68167365
Your asspull is worse than giant Korra and lion turtle combined.
Sure they would make 4 more new episodes just to develop your shitty character
>>68167365
Last minute "we don't care" moment by two hacks. If they established the pair early in the series, I'd accept it. It was a completely unneeded asspull at the end.
>>68167455
>People get sick of lesbians.
This is officially the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Thank you for my early Christmas present /co/
>>68167455
>>68167440
The cementing blow to Korra's horrible writing was Book 2.
I blame Book 3fags. A bunch of morons who got baited by a cliffhanger ending, mistaking that drama for good writing even though the Bei Fong plot is completely retarded
>>68167480
>This is officially the dumbest thing I have ever heard.
How so?
>>68167472
>and they made her a dyke.
I think the best thing anyone can do is cut off the ending. That's it. Just focus on Korra being able to move on and do Avatar things as a single, happy being.
>>68167365
if they'd dont that all bryke wouldve got is
"i can't believe they introduced a new character just to make korra a lesbian, LIBERAL LGBT PANDERING, FAN SERVICE!1!!!!1!" or "asami was already there, why introduce a new character" and "bryke confirmed shit writers"
Korra was closer to Asami than any other character. Also it's femme topping tomboy perfection.
>>68167495
The gift that keeps on giving.
Do you people actually think that this is true? This is a retarded fan theory by tumblr
>>68167519
Are you going to actually make any sort of argument on how is it the dumbest thing?
>>68167522
It's true solely by the virtue of the last 3 seconds of the finale.
>>68167365
>People being this mad over a lesbian couple
And this is why I stopped watching Korra after season 1. There's nothing but hackneyed writing and shit characters while the audience pretends that it's not complete shit.
I'd rather tell someone to watch moeshit anime than Legend of Korra.
>>68167472
>>68167440
Makora at that point is absurd
and makes no sense after 3 seasons of killing it completely.
And people who want Korra alone and miserable are ridiculous.
The authors gave Korra a happy ending, sure it's an ass-pull, but what's so bad about if it makes the fans happy and able to relate with Korra?
Furthermore they never went full homo but left it open to interpretation, getting away with what they could. They didn't try to be controversial for controversy's sake.
>>68167541
I think it's undeniable that young people watch Korra for the fantastic animation, not for the romance.
You recommending moe instead of Avatar makes me think you have that typical moeish /a/ otaku shit taste
>>68167545
Who said anything about being miserable. Her talk with Tenzin clearly showed she had matured and accepted her place as the Avatar. She was still young with the world at her feet.
Makorra is equally stupid to shoehorn in at the last second.
>They didn't try to be controversial for controversy's sake.
You mention it's an asspull, I argue its a calculated one.
>>68167365
Because at the end of the day, that pairing was the only one that kind of worked.
Mako was ruined by being a shit character in an unbelievably garbage forced love triangle in the first two seasons, and while he developed a decent character afterwards, he should remain forever alone as penance.
Who else is there? Bolin has his waifu. They could have left 3 out of the 4 main characters single at the end of the series, but that would have pissed of the legions of rabid shippers more than anything, so they went with yuri which had the extra benefit if being edgy and drumming up some much needed publicity for the show.
>>68167499
wow, that was they worst typing i've ever seen i meant "if they'd not done that all bryke wouldve got is
"i can't believe they introduced a new character just to make korra a lesbian, LIBERAL LGBT PANDERING, FAN SERVICE!1!!!!1!" or "asami was already there, why introduce a new character" and "bryke confirmed shit writers"

DC comics, live shows based on comic properties, webcomics especially
I was referring to the content that /co/ generally follows.
>>68167578
Either it was meticulously planned or it was an asspull.
Some post on Tublr said that the original screening had a different ending, I believe it.
They just wanted to satisfy the fans, there is nothing wrong about that. It was a just sweet ending, while at the same time leaving it ambiguous.
Also you forget that the possibility of revisiting this universe is very slim at this point, so throwing the fans a bone , makes sense considering Nickelodeons overall attitude.

Yeah, because that amazing short run by a Brit will actually stick when some new writer just bins what Gillen did.
>>68167589
You wouldn't fuck Asami?
You sure you not a gay?
>>68167660
Nickelodeon had a disastrous marketing campaign, advertising it to kids rather than teens.
The move to online distribution isn't necessarily bad, if you know how to properly advertise it.
And they did cut an entire episode in season 4 .
Why would they introduce an entirely new character in the final season of the show for Korra to fuck. When there's a perfectly good woman already there who Korras been lusting after and growing closer to since season 1.
>>68167640

What are you talking about? Tublr and Twitter IS their core fanbase, and it has been since ATLA.
>>68167715
Are you implying Korra didn't keep raving about how gorgeous and cool Asami was since she first saw her? Are you implying they haven't been growing closer throughout the seasons?
>same sex best friends are no longer allowed
>they must be bisexual relationships

Yes, it's cuter.

Yes that has been the undertone of comics for a long time now.
Show me a woman who FIGHTS becoming a lesbian, then you've got my attention.

How you force fictional characters? They think and do what author makes them do.
>>68167861
You mean the part about Mako losing?
Ryuko loves Venom bro, that was the whole point of that show.
>>68167901
My point was that ATLA was huge on tublr back then,as it was on /co/.
I just rewatched the last episode. Why is Mako so shit and underwhelming as a character? I didn't even realize he had a cast on his arm the first time I watched it he's such a forgettable character. Show would have been a lot better if they only focused on Korra and Asami and their budding romance.
>>68167861
Dunno, I think Gama still has a shot.
Although I'd prefer him with Satsuki-sama.
>>68167912
Holy fucking shitballs!
Are you telling me that the characters in my toons aren't actual people?
Stop the fucking presses!
Someone better call the president, inform him of this groundbreaking discovery!

>Korra has the nicest butt in the series

>>68167980
>I didn't even realize he had a cast on his arm the first time I watched it
That doesn't correlate...at all mate. That sounds like a personal problem and your ability to analyse what's right in front of you.
>>68167980
He was a Zuko clone with none of the edgyness, it was bound to fail.
He still redeemed himself in the end , in my opinion.

>>68167622
>They just wanted to satisfy the fans, there is nothing wrong about that
Nah, Bryke knew exactly what they were doing and why, their subsequent social media posts prove it
>while at the same time leaving it ambiguous.
And again, they knew exactly how it would be perceived, there's a reason they changed it further to make it so "apparent". They did it for the attention and media impressions, they've solidified themselves and the show now as being "progressive" and a good model for "this" or "that" and a good example of gay/lesbian or whatever characters
Please stop it.
This is just circling the drain with no conclusion.
Stop it.
>>68168137
>they knew exactly how it would be perceived
Exactly.
It's the last few seconds of the finale that actually hints anything, everything else easily handwaved. The ending was tacked on.
Show me ONE well written lesbian romance in animu and I will tell you why it's shit and why you're wrong.
>>68168137
>And again, they knew exactly how it would be perceived, there's a reason they changed it further to make it so "apparent".

And why is that bad again? The series did wrap up everything, and as I said before there is nothing wrong with satisfying the fans.
>>68168205

>>68168282
Incorrect, they were just cousins, nothing lesbianic about it.

Everyone in the fandom (or almost everyone) wanted this endgame, that's the main reason it ended as it did.
>>68168206
>why is that bad again?
Cos it's not a good example of a gay/lesbian relationship?
It's something they pulled out their ass?

In the original Japanese release she was a dike, but they censored it and made her relationship into "cousins" in the US dub.
>Although this was not included in the series itself, Takeuchi stated in an interview that she feels Takarazuka is "the maximum level of feminine emancipation," that as such it was her inspiration for the character of Haruka, and that it seemed natural for Haruka to fall in love with another woman—namely Michiru.[25]

Yes, you have literally posted yourself into a FUBAR snafu. Why would you do that?
>>68168206
>And why is that bad again?
Cause now you've changed your show's legacy and what it's gonna be known for by inserting and forcing something in there the last minute (of the finale).
Now Bryke and LOK won't be remembered for its falls, its heights, its plot holes, issues, its potential, world, plot, message or anything, it'll all boil down to "lesbians".
No one's gonna talk much just about the story or the villains, they're just gonna go back to previous seasons to examine Korra and Asami to find some "hint" some "foreshadowing" some dynamic or moment that built up to this and that fits and runs parallel to struggles that real life homosexuals and bisexuals go through when finding themselves, when really, there are none.
Asami only became friends and close to Korra cause she literally has/had nothing else to do as a character to fit the plot. She has no ambitions or missions of her own in the show that has its own plot but she's supposed to be a main character and part of team Avatar, so they make her a plot device to transport the team or have the powers or knowledge as plot demands to get around something, and they make her friends with Korra since she has no life outside of that but has to still be stuck around team Avatar, and it's been this way since season 2, even season 4 it's still the same thing.

Read various forums on how 'progressive' it is despite the fact that only ending which was too chicken-shit to show anything beyond ambiguity.
>>68168567
It was still very open ended .
If you really didn't see the intentional clues they placed to make it as ambiguous as possible then you are blind.
Why is it so hard for you to judge a series not by it's ending. You can still hate the ending and like other parts of the series, for other people, like it me it ended on a high positive note similar to ATLA, so I still don't see it as a massive cop-out.
>>68168592
The burden wasn't on me. It was on the original posters, his inference that I assumed it was a majority was that strawman.
>>68168620
>what's been building for three seasons
I don't seem to recall this.
>>68168620
>>Instead of going with what's been building up for 3 seasons
Yeah because 2 girls can't be best friends without being lesbians right???
Fuck off. That ending was sheer pandering
>>68168641
>It was still very open ended .
>intentional clues they placed to make it as ambiguous
They changed the ending, had Korra and Asami walk hand in hand, turn, hold hands and look into each other's eyes, and Mike (of Bryke) has linked some tumblr post about some woman finding comfort in the finale cause she has a gay son, and some other article talking about the finale and Korrasami being real (I think). they knew exactly what they were doing anon, it's not ambiguous
>Why is it so hard for you to judge a series not by it's ending.
Cause the ending should be the fruition of everything that came before it and be payoff for having watched it for so long, people's stories should be ended, things wrapped up, blah blah blah, if the ending is shit, the whole show might as well be shit cause there's no satisfaction, there's no "it's all over and done" feeling to me, there's too many things left open or unanswered and things just brought up that are so retarded that you can't believe it, like Wu wanting all the states to be independent and be like the URN, that shit's not gonna work but it was forced in there with no real reasoning for it and we'll never get any expansion on it
anyone else kind of disappointed by the ending? I mean, I don't dislike it because it's a yuri ending. It's just that, why would they need to end it with the main character getting with someone? Especially since korrasami had next to no buildup. It just feels like forced fanservice to me. Why not end the series with a shot of all characters including bumi and stuff just sitting together having a good time? Why end with a ship? At least aang x katara was being built up throughout the entire series
>>68168896
the last shot of a movie/series/play is usually the most important thing as thats what it ends on so by showing korrasami as the ending theyre saying that even 2 broken people can find love together and the love between the 2 of them is the most important thing to them
>>68167704
Dude that's less "everything going lesbians" and "a lot of shit nobody cares about going lesbians"

>obvious subtext is obvious
>being this blind

A quote from one of the animators "it's about as subtle as jets death"
are you even trying?
>>68168786
I just loved the lengthy conversations about the homosexual foreshadowing we had throughout season 1 and 2.
Let's post Korrasami evidence.
1. Asami was the only one Korra wrote to. Imagine you leaving for years and the only person you texted was a man while your parents and everyone else didn't know if you were dead or not.
2. Asami promised to always be the for Korra. Saying if Korra ever also wants "anything else" (romance)
3. Korra blushes at Asami's compliment on her looks. Must have felt good to be complimented by a woman you find so attractive. Korra was always raving about how gorgeous Asami is.
>>68169316
"h-h-h-h-homophobe!"
You people make broken records feel like a breath of fresh air
4. Asami equated losing Korra to losing her father.
5. They keep staring into each other's eyes and smiling in silence.
6. They argue like an old married couple because one was gone so long and the other missed her so much.
>>68169340
it's not like that though is it, sometimes relationship do start out as friendships you absolute spack attack, just because they werent saying it every 5 minutes doesnt mean something wasnt there, even now i dont think theyre actually "in love" i think that was basically their idea of "ok this is happening we both understand our situation and what we want lets give it a go" kind of like a first date kind of situation. i dont know about you but on a first date I dont generally start screaming I LOVE YOU from the roof tops, it's funny how if it had been any male character your reaction would be completely different e.g. even if it was Wu or Bolin people would still think they were together. pull your head out of your ass and see the truth you cumstain.
>sink zutara with premeditation
>but confirm korasami
what happened to bryke? what made them change?
7. Even Mako can tell that they're unusually close to each other. He asks "What's going on with you two?". They've long since been friends so it's clear that they're now acting like more than friends.
>>68169436
kek
the only reason someone couldnt see the obvious subtext and connotation of the scene is is they were homophobic, prove me wrong
Protip: you cant
>>68169386
Korra's only other options were people that she felt weird about confiding in. Tenzin was making her feel bad, Mako was her ex, and Bolin is a chatterbox dork. This is not evidence of romantic interest.
>>68169408
Telling someone you'll be there for them is not evidence of romantic interest.
>>68169435
People blush when paid an earnest compliment, women especially. Having a normal emotional/physical response when someone you respect gives you a compliment is not evidence of romantic interest.
>>68169458
Asami has literally three friends. Korra is her only female friend, and probably the best friend she's ever had. Not wanting you/r friends to die is not evidence of romantic interest.
Do you have any more? I can keep going.
>>68169475
They do that literally ONCE in the LAST FEW SECONDS OF THE SERIES. While this is technically evidence, since it is literally tacked on in the closing shot it is circumstantial evidence at best.
>>68169494
Did you not watch the show? Half the cast argues like an old married couple. Does that mean the entire cast is going to be in one giant romantic interest orgy? No, it means it's evidence of nothing.
>>68169516
He was referring to the fact that they were upset with each other. This is not evidence of romantic interest, but it IS evidence that you're grasping at straws.
>>68169526
>Platonic only writing one person
>Platonic blushing
>Platonic hand holding

You obviously don't remember the show. He said that before they started arguing.
Just a reminder, the original cannon ending of this series was season 1 with Mako and Korra hugging
This shit got retconned faster than Star Wars
>>68169516
They were trying to hide the fact they were sending each other letters to save Mako.
Minutes later they're both at each others throats with Asami annoyed with Korra having disappeared for 3 years. Hardly a conversation that stems from a romantic relationship.
>>68167365
Because it's the most obvious wishful thinking pairing that their target audience wanted. So of course it's going to be them
>>68169611
theres the comics but theres only smoke and shadows confirmed and thats aang and after that i think it's over completely

Its not their target audience, its all the audience is
Barely a million tumblr fags that still watch the show
>>68167472
How is she a dyke?
Taking the best friend on a road trip implies you're gay? There's not even any looking into each others eyes or any of the shit Korra/Asami did over Mako. It's not even NanoFate levels of 'they are gay, creators please just let them out of the closet'.
Still it was a nice season of not dealing with the rather cringy relationship drama I've come to associate with the series.

>>68169498
Wut? I'm not arguing about whether they're together or not. I'm saying that there was nothing to suggest that the story has been steering in this direction for any considerable amount of time. If you only watched the show up to season 2, would you honestly say Korra/Asami seemed plausible? If your answer is anything but "no," you're absolutely shitting me.
>>68169700
i would say it has since the start of season 3 if you watch it again, i rewatched it from the beginning after the finale and you can definitely tell if you pay attention
>>68169672
Their true target audience was blatantly perverts who liked lesbian fantasies on tumblr. they were the ones who talked about the show the most.
I don't particularly care that they hooked up if that is the case, but if they did I have a feeling that Korra and Asami's relationship would eventually come to an end due to very different lifestyles.
Asami has her corporate empire, and Korra has her Avatar duties. New enemies will crop up once more, Korra will have to go off to distant lands in addition to dealing with a ton of the new world politics that will crop up from the democratic Earth Empire. Asami on the other hand will become ever more involved in her company as technological advances are made, and after her father's redemption she'll have even more reason to remain the head of the company and carry on their family name. As a result they'll slowly grow apart due to conflicting duties and the lack of time for each other. In the end, they'll break it off but remain strong friends.
>>68169408
That's the scene that actually first stood out to be as being the slightest bit homo.
>>68169729
My point is that Asami/Korra is yet another example of the horribly inconsistent character development that's plagued this show from square one.
>>68168355
Why did mako never spam lighting?
Why did bolin after learning lava, not spam it on everything as his first move? Instead of reserving it.
Why did no one attempt to teach the avatar lighting or lava? Why did mako survive the thermo nuclear detonation at ground zero? Why does a nuke create a portal to spirit world?
I guess they even point it out in the clip show, not to try make sense of everything.
>>68169767
She became the head of the company way before her father's redemption, the man was in jail.
Besides (and I've always found it funny), Asami seems to be reminded of her company just when it serves to the plot. Also, she was always offering to go somewhere with Korra, who the fuck cares about the company.
They did spend 3 years apart and they even became closer than before.
>>68168828
We never find out what they do with kuv's forces, or her. Or how the transition from monarchy goes, or if the people actually want it. Season 5 could have been show casing the differences in URN, EK and FN ruling systems.
I feel it still continued to flip flop on the avatar issue. Going on with 'it's not needed, average benders fix their own problems' to needing the avatar to save the world.
>>68168641
>If you really didn't see the intentional clues they placed to make it as ambiguous as possible then you are blind.
THIS IS PROOF, PEOPLE
>subtext shit
They are really ripping off anime.
>>68167541
It's not the lesbian couple, it's the total bad execution, if the pair is true.
I'll dare to say, the people who likes the ending is the one that 'had his fanfic ship come true' and doesn't care about anything more.
For me the episode was good but that last scene was totally unnecessary and forced. I thought the ending will be the panning to the sky while they both where talking. Then, another scene and I asked: Oh, there's more? Then, just that.
I'm not against the pair, just it came out of nowhere, like for the sake of "Look, lesbians" "Look, Korrasami". I know the show doesn't had the best character development but this?
Asami barely interacted with her, related to that setting. Also, they stablished both of them liked boys at first. What about letting us know they're bi with something subtle cause kids cartoon blah, blah, blah?
Also, I wanted some really special ending scene, due to that one being the ending of all the Avatar series... but no, we got shipwar fuel...
>>68167545
Couples, couples, couples... You don't need a couple for a happy ending, anon. What are you talking about?
>>68170624
Mean to quote
>>>68167541
>>68167365
In all honesty, I didn't even see it as a yuri ending.
I thought what was important was that Korra had grown as a person enough that the girl that had started as her romantic rival was now someone she respected and loved as a friend.
I guess it'd be hot if they scissored, though.
>>68169683
It's true anon. It's an ending that can be interpreted as you want. But that's the point, you can. And also, the strong Korrasami vibe the authors purposely injected to that last and out of nowhere scene plus the bunch of shippers on internet are taking for grant that they're both dykes. It's unstoppable.
>>68170684
This.
I think they make a cute pair or whatever (visually, I am in love with both of their designs), but my favorite part is that the absolutely retarded love triangle in the beginning ended with the two girls being friends (with the potential to evolve into more, if you want to look at it that way--I do).
>>68167751
No, it's shit writing.
>>68169316
Shouldn't you be on tumblr?
>>68169729
That's what people say, but look, any person can say it's not like that and it will sounds logic too. That's the point. Ambiguous stuff for pleasing the fans is not a good thing. I want a consistent story that can tell me what's happening.

I literally fucking shouted with joy when it happened. Not because I thought it was a good ending, but because I knew how much bitching and fedora-tier "analysis" it would incite. It's like watching a train wreck.
The only way this could be better is if Toph had lost a fight to Kuivira or if she had died.
>>68170839
You missed the last episode didn't you?
>>68170684
This. But go tell that to the Korrasami people. You will be automatically a blind delusional.

Korrasami logic, everyone.
>>68167663
The show just wasn't meant for nick audiences anymore. It was stupid to greenlight it in the first place when it was clear early on that they wanted to age up the content to align with the original ATLA fanbase.
>>68170960
Nick is gonna eventually run out of audiences anyway. This was an opportunity to attract an old audience back and bring in a new one, they squandered it.
Live action dramas and spongebob won't last forever.
At least this confirms they won't make another sequel series, since artificial insemination isn't a thing in the Avatarverse
>>68170925
You forget, best friends and one of them wants to cheer the other up cause she just lost his father.
But ok, it's not that, just let's fuck in the spirit world.
Ok, the think that everybody can accept: Than ending was Korrasami pandering. Good for you guys.

I like how Korra literally stopped sending the letters and no one acts like its important. It's funny how Korrasami shippers just ignore that. She probably sent 3-4 letters and gave up when she realized how gay Asami was.
Get over yourselves people, the ending wasn't LGBT for the sake of LGBT. Honestly I think Korrasami makes sense, plus the Rule34 is canon now so that's good.
>>68170997
I agree 100%. The ultimate failure I think was on Nick for basically not knowing what to do with the series and then trying to hold a pillow over its face once the show went off the rails a bit
>>68171024
Thats what feeds into the argument in reunion, they talk about things they should have really talked about during the letters.
"Why were you gone for 3 years"
"I don't know"
If they were writing letters over the whole period surely some of Korras reservations should have come up.
>>68171029
>Wasn't LGBT for the sake of LGBT
Bryke knew how to stir up the pot for that Emmy.
They had the option to end the show as it was with little fanfare or they could have made sure they always get mentioned on a list of "Most Progressive Things To Ever Happen On Television" for the next 50 years.
They choose the bait.
>>68171034
Just look for Korra merchandise on google, there is fucktons of the stuff and none of it official.
Nick also shat the bed in international markets, Korra only aired like a year later and only like 2 seasons so far. Only 1 season has seen a european release on blu.
They couldn't have hurt the show more if they were trying. I honestly don't think they understand the world as it is today, they want it to be the 1980's and 90's where they can sell tons of cheap plastic toys to kids who have nothing else to play with.
>>68171085
>You can't have LGBT representation without pandering
Just face it, you people will never be happy because you'll nitpick over anything.
>>68171085
>They had the option to end the show as it was with little fanfare or they could have made sure they always get mentioned on a list of "Most Progressive Things To Ever Happen On Television" for the next 3 months. And an occasional reference on Top 10 lists here and there afterwards, mostly bookended with people forgetting what the rest of the series was actually about or just claiming the original series was better written.
>>68171085
With that argument anyone putting anything gay in anything ever is just reaching for 'the bait'. I know it's debated heavily whether Korra and Asami made sense as a couple but I personally think it makes sense, I'm usually a big naysayer for 'progression for the sake of progression' but I honestly don't believe they did it here.
>>68171116
Quite right. Pretty much a huge failure in understanding, which surprises me because Nick is owned by Viacom and other Viacom channels, Comedy Central comes to mind, has been pretty good about distributing and marketing their shows to coalesce with how people watch tv these days.
Do you think the series might have a future independently online or maybe even on a Netlfic, Hulu or Amazon market? Honestly, if they went full force with the whole "progressive" lesbian thing at their back and also just fully matured the show to appeal directly to the bulk of their audience, it could gain traction.
>>68167365
>their relationship wasn't like that.
Apparently, it was
Now I just want RS cast to find out in the next season of Regular Show that Eileen and rigby have been humping for some and she is pregnant
>>68171134
You have to admit social relevance tied into the ending. It's not nitpicking to know when someone picks the easy way out to shield their show from criticism.
Without Korrasami, I guarantee the complaints about the actual entirety of the finale would be more prevalent.
Now there's just an eternal shit storm about the last two minutes that will last for all time.
Just as keikaku'd.
>>68171116
>they want it to be the 1980's and 90's where they can sell tons of cheap plastic toys to kids who have nothing else to play with
This. Good lord do a lot of cartoon makers need to jump on freemium and micro transaction content somehow. Kids get on the electronic teat younger and younger nowadays--action figures and the like only command the attention of children who are between "old enough to not choke/injure" and "just a little too young to fuck around with a tablet"
I've worked in daycare since 2005 and have watched this d/evolution firsthand. I'm pretty sure most of the kids I work with are more proficient in tablet shit than I am.
>Step 1 take a established show with a large fanbase and make a sequel
>Step 2 dont spend any time on the writing and just dump all the budget into aesthetics
>Step 3 make a "controversial" ending to pander to hipster faggots so they can pretend their childrens cartoon is some form of high art
Bravo Bryke
>>68170839

Please. When someone says dead crack ship I think of something Like BoLin or Makasami.
>>68171195
I would hope so, it all depends how nick feels about it. If they can cut their losses with a sale of the rights they should do it. I don't see the Avatar universe ever returning to a format that could sell merchandise to kiddies.
I could certainly see it becoming an event series if treated with the care that other channels have to other serialised shows. It could also make big money if the merchandise was actually things teenagers and adults wanted to buy.
Again, it would need an improved budget and the full backing of the network but when you have networks dropping $90m on new franchises that tank there must be money out there somewhere.
>>68167365
it was an asspull solely for fanservice to appease shippers
seriously, you'd have to be suffering from a severe case of confirmation bias to think they actually planned this shit at all
So I'm looking at some reaction videos on youtube and I can't help but think fans of Korra look weird. They all seem to be frumpy looking girls. What is it about Korra that attracts homely types?
>>68171258
>>68171271
Yeah, I hope people at Nick are having this discussion and not just sweeping avatar under the rug for all eternity. I really love the universe and think it would be great to keep it going in a modern way.

>>68171319
Fangirls are a really insane demographic of a show. They don't consume content like normal people do, they only watch stuff for romance and whether or not a character is into another character.
Fangirls ruin shows. It's why they kept killing off female characters on Supernatural.
>>68171195
I think Netflix would be the best option. They did a great job with House of Cards and Orange is the new black (never saw it but heard mostly good things about it). If, for some miracle, they get the Avatar's rights they would probably save it

That's not a valid argument for a poorly developed, hamfisted romance inserted into the last two minutes of a show that was on and off the air for four years.

I have a friend whos 3yo plays tablet games all the time and has done for a while.
The world is changing and these networks need to accept that or die. They've stacked their channels so badly and bet their farm on live action shows and repeats that must be cheap as dirt. Eventually content will run out or kids will get bored.
Why these channels haven't cottened onto the fact that adults are recepted to animated tv shows now is beyond me. The people who grew up with south park and ATLA are still there and they want more than cheap comedy shows.

I'm not talking about that. Learn to read.
>>68171431

DIDN'T YOU READ THE SUBTEXT?
>>68171412
>implying literally every series ever doesnt end with some kind of romance
>>68171421
Sadly, I agree. Women are truly the worst. You'd think horny guys are the ones who wanted two hot lesbians scissoring, but nope, it was women all along.

Well duh are you fucking retarded? You're not a fucking newfag. When has there ever been anything that's been unanimously agreed upon? Only one thing and that's fucking nothing. But no this should really be above any criticism at all this should be the first thing ever that is accepted as perfectly done.
So I've been here for the past few days just reading Korra threads but speaking as a casual fan. Korrasami caught me off guard but I'm seeing videos dated 4 months ago where Korrasami is a thing. How long have people known about or suspected Korrasami being a thing?
>>68168205
Utena
>>68171497
Ever since season 1 I've seen people ''shipping'' it. I think it was mostly due to Korra's comments about Asami's appearance.
>>68171497
It started around book 3 I guess
>>68169435
She didn't blush because she likes Asami you blind fool!
She cut her hair with a freaking knife so nobody would recognize her, and Asami's compliment reminded her of that, she blushed not because "aw she rike me" but because "aw shit, my hair".
It was literally embarrassment not romantic blushing.
Korrasami doesn't exist, there's literally no build up at all.
>>68171476
The series was doomed the minute they made a female character a protagonist.
Women are disgusting whores, and trying to shovel this women empowerment to children is foul and wrong.
>>68171497
People ship fucking anything. I remember back in season 1 people were shipping the two probably simply because they were both hot.
>>68171473
That's why the best ones don't. They know to end on something representative of the whole show, like Breaking Bad.
>>68171497
People ship chars all the time, they're pretty hardcore about it.

>Destiel in Supernatural
>Any brother character
>Any sister character
Bonus points if they're attractive.
>>68171497
Don't know, I think a korrasamin ending is pretty cool. But in can't deanied the fact that it's out of nowhere.
I even rewatched the important episode of the season, in order to find some evidence about tthat, because I nether supposed that kind of ending, and nothing. Same friendly reaction between korra and mako ou asami.
Only interesting thing is when she blushed; But... Many people blush with a compliment.
>>68171497
Seasons 1-2 it was just a joke ship. More people started to ship it from season 3 onwards, nobody expected it to become more than a crackship though.
>>68171497
since the start of book 3
>>68171524
>>68171560
Out of my friends group, only one person picked up on Korrasami. The rest completely ignored it since it seemed like it didn't even exist.
Bravo Bryke.
