Makorra has Ikki and Jinora ask Korra if she likes Mako after only mostly arguing with each other and then they sleep leaning on each other in one episode, Korra doesn't look so approving of Asami/Mako in the next episode, and then we are told Korra's feelings for Mako and that apparently they seemed mutual at the beginning of the next episode by the narrator.
I just think Bryke have no middle ground at this point and that it could've been even shitter than what we got ... At least they showed a decent friendship despite only four scenes, one at the end of Book 3 and three in 4, other than the final scene having any romance intentions behind it.

I think you're giving people who watch a show just because they heard it has a progressive lesbian couple far too much credit for being able to critique things objectively. They'll just love it BECAUSE it had a progressive lesbian couple and ignore all the other glaring flaws.
Just as planned.
>>68197025
Not everything is a fucking agenda, Anon. It's fine if you want to see things that way, but not everyone is that money-grabbing. Bryke are clearly sincere about Korrasami, for better or worse. I think they should have gone with it more strongly, but even they have admitted now they pussied out on being explicit with it right til the end.
is TLA still worth watching
The problem people had with the ending wasn't resolved, it was still poorly developed and unbelievable. But because of the response from creators half of the fanbase just doesn't care enough to argue anymore and bounced out.
There were at least 3 or 4 active threads arguing about the finale a day ago, and now there are three Avatar threads total. 1 is an AU thread, 1 is a Kataang babies thread, and you have this one. It's sad to see the arguments go, because it was people embroiled in a debate over something they loved. Now it's just people saying "fuck this show, and fuck Bryan for being a smarmy cunt". It's not exclusive to here either, people on tumblr are leaving left and right.

>>68197079
We all know they had a love for the relationship, clearly as it seems like that had it in their shows fucking Bible before hand. Even speaking with the network heads and such they saw that it would be harder to actually implement so they settled on a means to an end. Over time they say how much the fanbase loved the pairing and due ever changing times they decided to develop their relationship into something more. But it's hard not to argue since they had this planned from the near beginning shows that's fucking brilliant with how you seen gay rights evolve over the past few years since the shows inception.
>>68197020
Asami seems like she is in love with Korra from the end of book 3 if you look closely. Korra's side is less well developed but still there.
Korrasami would have really benefited from a single additional scene right before the big battle where Asami hugs Korra or something and Korra has a sudden revelation.
>"Yeah by the way, when they held hands in the very last second of this four season program, that was meant to be romance."
There's nothing progressive about that.

To think even tumblr whales can clearly and concisely explain why Korrasami was badly handled.
Maybe if people read this they'd understand why Bryke didn't "do everything possible to spell it out" or that they could absolutely "make it more clear without pissing off censors".
Especially since Bryke admitted they were going for a Korra alone end until the last minute.
>>68197092
>But because of the response from creators half of the fanbase just doesn't care enough to argue anymore and bounced out.
Yeah, the half that was wrong.
>>68197197
Asami you can kind of argue for. Korra showed not a damn iota of attraction to Asami. She didn't even seem to care when Asami almost died.
>>68196857
you could see them hinting at it from season two
>Bryke had to come out and confirm the relationship
>People are still praising them for their writing and the finale
If they had to come out and confirm it, they didn't do a very good fucking job with showing that these two characters were romantically linked in the first place.
>>68197225
>>68197205
I like to imagine Korra is just really naive
>Asami is such a nice friend :3
>My hands are getting a bit sweaty
>The spirit world is pretty cool I suppose
>Why is she leaning in?
>I started re-watching Legend of Korra from the beginning just yesterday, so that I could see how much foreshadowing there was for Korrasami. So far all it's done is make me grin at every interaction between Korra and Asami and roll my eyes at Mako.
After Korra and Mako break up in the second season, Mako is pretty much never again characterized as a romantic option for anyone (although I think Wu had a teensy crush on him). It really is just Korra and Asami from there.
Asami is the one that Korra wrote to during her recovery. Asami tells Korra that she likes her new haircut and that she could not have borne the loss of both her father and Korra.
I know that people will deny it until Word of Lion Turtle is received, but it really doesn't get any clearer to me - everything else is just confirming what is already known.
>>68197207
They definitely could've had a few more episodes were Korra and Asami did more things together.
>>68197197
And it seems like the government faked the moon landing if you look closely.
It's either there or it's not, and it wasn't. Bryke says they have feelings for each other, great, happy for everybody who's happy about that. But let's not pretend this was some grand master plan or that it was "subtle" or they any intention of including anything more significant toward it.
It was a last minute, end of the line bit of fanservice, and nothing more.
>>68197207
>Especially since Bryke admitted they were going for a Korra alone end until the last minute.
But that's wrong. They said that they decided to push it farther at the last minute, but everything else was still done. They were still going alone in the spirit world.
>>68197225
>Korra showed not a damn iota of attraction to Asami
Take your hetero lenses off.
>>68197236
You mean season two when Mako was pretty much on the verge of having them both at once? Yeah, really hinting hard at it when they're both taking advantage of the other to try and get back with him.
>>68197269
They said they weren't pushing for it at all because they thought they'd be censored, and only asked for the final scene, which is why it's so jarringly blatant.
But that shows some real lack of imagination on their part because there's a FUCKTON of shit they could have done to imply Korrasami without it being offensive.
>>68197282
She had a better reaction when Bolin complimented her, sport. And she made damn clear she wasn't attracted to him.
>>68197282

/pol/ here.
Don't complain or critique. Bryke, Vanity Fair, and IGN WANT you to complain and critique. Because they gather all your complaints and critiques, and will call it homophobia.
It won't be a mere deflection, either. Odds are good that one person complaining about the finale will genuinely be homophobic and bigoted.
That one person will make EVERYONE ELSE homophobic by proxy - by virtue of sharing the opinion that the finale was bad.
But it does NOT end at deflection. I repeat they do NOT just get rid of criticism by calling what you do homophobia. They ALSO get to write clickbait articles and bolster the show's reputation
If Bryke set up a kickstarter for a Korrasami comic, for example, they'd make hundreds of thousands of dollars in a day, from the Redditors who want to combat homophobia
The ONLY way to not give them what they want is to NOT react
But you ARE reacting, because how could you not?
I'm just saying there's no point in it.
I'm sorry guys. I really am.
>>68197325
Can't wait for dozens more replies attacking the poster instead of the argument.
>>68197282
From this point on, I think it's best to ignore everybody who uses the terms "heteronormative" or "hetero lens" in their arguments.
This is a debate about writing and storytelling, not social issues or political agendas like some (including Bryke) are trying to make it.
>>68197325

>>68197207

The fact that Bryan actually used the phrase "hetero lens" proves to me he's a pathetic little revisionist loser desperate for attention. He had the power and every opportunity to show it and he didn't, because they had no intention of doing it. Even when they did do it, they did it in the most tame, lame, vague way possible. And then he goes on tumblr to lap up the praise for confirming fangirls' greatest fantasies with nothing more than his own say so.
I guess when everybody thought Book 2 was shit, including Nick themselves, we were all just looking at it through our "good taste" lens.
He's a fucking coward and a liar and a hack. Fuck him and fuck anybody dumb enough to believe or hire him ever again.

Sadly people overlook all of that because of the asspull last minutde change by Bryke. Now that Bryke mentioned Korrasami on their websites, it's really getting out of hand. People are just full of themselves. There's nothing at all to support bisexual nor lesbian in LOK, other than the finale ending (which, again, was changed).
>>68197393
Agreed, he went down in my estimation quite considerably. His wording was vitriolic gloating nonsense that basically insulted anyone who didn't absolutely buy his version of events.
It's one thing to come out and confirm, explain and justify. It's another to start throwin about terms that are intended to be derogatory to people you are looking to give you money. You arent "shaming" them, you're just sounding very petty and insular, cosy within your own echo chamber.

Bryke literally spelled out that nothing but the spirit world arc was planned out from the beginning. They decided on Korrasami from season 3 and onwards. So really, the ending wasn't ''changed'' since Bryke already favored this pairing.
>>68197454
The sad thing about it is that they're so desperate for their fantasies to come true that literally the least someone could do to validate them is celebrated like a universal gay marriage bill.
It's not even about gays in media, there's ton of that now. It's about their own personal want.

Bryke confirmed to be terrible writers. Even George Lucas didn't make last minute changes to their characters. I'm sure Obi-Wan would've held hands with Anakin if Bryke were at the helm.
>>68197508
KOrra is fucking awesome. Pity her show was bad and the writing never let her show her shit properly.
>>68197516
But they weren't planning on showing it until they asked for permission near the end, and it SHOWS, because the pairing's romance is absent until the ending shot.
>>68197454

You can complain and critique the 99.99% of the show that isn't about Korrasami without ANYONE being in position to call you homophobic.
The finale wasn't bad by any means, it was one of the best finales the Avatar series has had. There's still a lot you can criticize in the writing of the finale, the season or the show without having spooky SJW getting out of the woods to get ya.
Of course that's only if you aren't completely fixated on "MUH LESBIAN PANDERING" and can actually formulate your criticism of the actual show well enough.
>they gather all your complaints and critiques

>>68197537
But they were building up to it, they just weren't sure how far they were allowed to go so they just showed hand holding and looking into each other's eyes.
It's an important distinction to say "It doesn't mean anything because it's rushed" and "The series in general has a weakness in this department."
Many things in Korra got rushed from the character angle (and since the budget was slashed an episode, presumably lots of character moments took the hit. You can't just skip the scene where the kids stumble on the mecha-maid).
But there were conscious decisions. Korra's "home" in S3's finale being with Asami (not her folks, who WERE in town), the use of the word "girlfriend" in S3 were deliberate. With CN holding Adventure Time's leash and Disney taking the envelope from Kim Possible and burning it, it was not unreasonable to assume Nick would be no more supportive of it.
Much of the character stuff was pedaled pretty hard. The Bei Fong drama (especially the Lin-Toph argument, which came from nowhere and went almost nowhere), Bo Lin/Opal were really not given any follow through, hell even Zhu Li/Varrick pairing felt a little obligatory. In general the series has always handled romance poorly. I'd almost interpret it as a white flag of surrender "We know, we suck at shipping, we leave it to you, fanficers"

Not in kids show. Not that I'm saying it's particularly appropriate a setting to discuss alternative sexuality, but that's the "barrier" people pat them on the back for "breaking": having a gay MC in a supposed kids' show.

Kuvira was the one who turned the city to rubble. Korra talked her into turning herself in so she could properly pay for her crimes.
Also, the city is expanding rather than rebuilding. I don't think there's much Korra can do there. It's not like she can earthbend rocks into houses.

>>68197207
So many things I want to do to Kuvira. When she gets sent to prison I want her bending taken away by Korra. Then I would break her out and keep her in my home shackled up. I would proceed to mind break slowly. First promising her to see her family, then her freedom, then her health. I would shove my dick into her mouth and fuck her throat wildly while she's handcuffed to the floor. I would throat fuck her so hard her saliva stays on my now hard and well lubricated penis when I take it out. I would take my dick out before I cum and walk out.
For a time she will be angry. But she will be broken. Then after a couple of weeks, assuming she's "lost" by then, I would turn her into my personal whore. I would make her beg for my dick for food or water. I would make her tell me how much she wants it inside her. I would cum in her throat and ask her if she wants to go to the movies. I would fuck her ass like she was a peasant whore and make her the dinner she always wanted. I would travel to air temple island with her and fuck her in Tenzins home when his family isn't there; leaving the stank behind.
We will make wonderful children and she will finally be happy.

And that's my main issue, idiot. I never called the finale bad, fuck I don't even think the ending Korrasami shot is bad.
What I DO think is bad is that the critical reception of the finale, and perhaps even the fucking series will be due to lesbians.
Worse STILL, critics of the ending will be dismissed as homophobes
If the critique is bad, then dismiss it because it's bad, don't label them as homophobes.

Man, I was so pumped when I saw the headline about it being canon. And then I read Bryan's desperate diatribe trying to convince everybody that's what they wanted all along and it completely ruined it. "Hetero lens" like how fucking how old are you dipshit? You're like the kid who got shot during cops and robbers and whines he's got a forcefield up.

A financially sound show wont have to leave TV.
But it is mostly due to Nick's incompetence at business and quality control.
Korra wont appeal to their demographic in the long run. And Bryke gone wild make the series suffer a lot.

>>68197934
The Krew didnt have that good of a chemistry. After season 2 they mostly do their own shit.
And Korra didnt give a shit about Mako or Bolin during her recovering year so it's just natural she go alone with asami.
Still not enough to justify Korrasami though.
>>68197986
Because was culminating a relationship that was built up since the very first episode that had a bond that went deeper than getting stuck in a desert once and being fucked by the same guy.
>>68197981
Wakfu if you haven't seen it, comparable to AtlA in quality
Really good character building, same world building style (workign towards an overarching goal like in AtlA rather than everything having to happen quickly like in Korra due to short seasons), really good fights, overall one of my favourite animated shows

I wonder why Bryke didn't include Aang kissing Zuko at the end. Why not Bryan? I mean, weren't you looking at Aang through hetero lenses then? And Mike, didn't you want to contribute to society a little back then as well?
Oh wait, ATLA was a great show and LOK is a turd. No wonder you need to make up shit just to drive people to the series.
>>68198037

>>68198037
Thanks, I hear good things so I will actually give it a go.
What ages is it mainly aimed at? I've seen questionable content so i'm guessing not too Saturday morning cartoon?

>>68198039
You should read their tumblr posts confirming it, make sure to take off your hetero lenses off first less you be mistaken for a homophobe.
>>68198098
Korra and Naga went unresolved. She was crucial to Korra's character, but Bryke are bad writers so it all makes sense why she went missing and Korra couldn't have cared less.
>check out that avatar subreddit

>>68198098

>>68198098
I didn't feel that any of the animals had actual meaning in Korra. Naga was just there, I didn't get any special insight because there was nothing to see between her and Korra.
Aang on the other hand went into a rage when Appa went missing.
>>68198082
Ehh they wanted to have it being able to be shown on kids TV so nothing overly explicit but it has its very suggestive moments
I'd say aimed at older people but kids could still enjoy it

Even the good faith comment was downvoted. Lmao.
>>68198098
Aang was a better Avatar, nothing new there
>>68198102
We all wish it was actually handled in some sort of way, not just dropped on us for the sake of desperately seeking some sort of praise. When I saw the ending it was still incredibly vague and pretty much just them being close friends. But after that bullshit where apparently I'm some kind of anti-progressive person for not liking shit writing? Oh hell no. I was always cheering for Korrasami but when I realized you could barely even imply it was a legit thing in the show, I just stuck to fanart and accepted it. We get a fucking Mako clip show but we couldn't get an Asami one that actually built up this ending? Fuck.
So how long will it take for Bryke to come out and say that they fucked up, like Rowling?

Well tbf the "fans" they have made with this decision are very fickle, how many of them actively watched the show or will pay money for it. It's tough to justify pissing off one section of fans to try and buy another section, its a gamble. It's working for now with articles but talk is cheap.
>>68198261
Nice damage control.
Which one is Bryan, the bald one or the Liam Gallagher looking fellow?
>>68196857
>>they come to watch the show expecting a well-built relationship between Korra and Asami
>>they realise that it's shoe-horned in by Bryke at the end to get relevancy
The fact that they came in expecting Bryke to pull off a well-built relationship of any kind is what set them up for failure.
And heap on that the fact that Nick wouldn't really clear more explicit "they're hot for one another" hints until very late in production when the show was pretty much already finished...
And you get the rushed ending. Similar to how they decide halfway through the last season that after spending the entire series treating her like his foot scrubbing, chore working, and underappreciated assistant, that Varrick was madly in love with Zhu Li, propposed to her, and married her all in the span of 30 minutes.
>>68198218
>>68198230
Bryan needs to apologize for his "you are looking through your hetero lens xD!" but both Mike and Bryan are full of shit if they believe what they did meant something. The only thing to take out of LOK's ending is that they're bad writers. That's it.
>>68197835

>>68198143
I'm seeing a lot of people confused as to why Korra wrote to Asami. They seem to forget that Asami exclusively took care of Korra for several weeks while she was at her lowest point.
I have my issues with how the relationship was handled, but Korra writing to Asami is not one of them.
>>68198119
>She was crucial to Korra's character,
Jesus Christ, no she wasn't. She was basically a panting car.
Appa was crucial to Aang because he was the only remains of his past.

>>68197363
>they also called their fanbase homophobic and hetero lens viewers like they were some amazing writers of lesbian fiction for years
Oh I'm sure they have plenty of their own fanfiction about lesbians since honestly that's what Bryke are... fanfiction writes. They're not professionals as evident by the complete trainwreck the season became when they were pretty much responsible for everything.
>>68197496
>If they wanted to pander to the fans Lin would've hooked up with Tenzin again and Appa and Momo would be banging
Yea, pandering to some fans is pandering to all fans amirite? Your point is dumb.
>>68198177
Yeah, they definitely could've used that recap episode for Asami and Korra. I enjoyed the episode, but if they really had an idea of KorraSami, they should've had at least one completely homo scene.
Just one line might've made the ending less asspull
>>68198288

>>68197248
>>People are still praising them for their writing and the finale
Nobody's praising the quality of the writing.
They're praising the fact that usually, networks are pretty adverse to implying that the protagonists of their childrens' cartoons are anything other than heterosexual.
Even a small scene, which looks at first glance like a bit of fan service, usually takes quite a bit of arguing, pleading, and trickery to actually pull off because kid's Networks are just so adverse to this kind of stuff.

Sure but she wasn't her only close person. I mean she had parents and shit, and as soon as b1 she makes other friends.
I don't know, it never really felt to me that Korra was as close to Naga as Aang was to Appa.
>>68198378
Before she felt so close to her, she ran away for years.
Asami must be a shitty nurse.
>>68198397
Fair enough. I took it as Korra's only friend outside of her family was Naga. That all changed once she met Mako and Bolin.

No, fuck off.
Secondly, that tumbletard is wrong within the first few sentences so I stopped reading. She's using an out of context picture from a scene to argue her shit point. That scene wasn't romantic, korra was just holding a waking kuvira to be nice, and the wheel chair scenes between korrasami shit all over the tumblrtards point.
You should be flayed for linking that garbage.
>>68198043
Because the mean old bigoted Orange Splat wouldn't let them (with the move to online, they probably didn't care what they did)
Man we are never gonna have a decent Avatar thread again are we?
Anyway as for Korrasami, In retrospect I think the build up in Book 3 is good enough, but they needed more scenes in Book 4 though the ones they had were more shippy then the ones in 3, probably should of had Asami go off to visit Zaheer with Korra instead of Mako or something.
>>68198412
Yeah, for a long time Aang felt closer to Appa than the rest of team Avatar.
>>68198323
Seems like a bit of a stretch but I do agree that Bryan has some pretty severe ego problems, he somehow thinks he's a progressive god now because he smashed two female characters together so he could get off on it like any hetro guy would.

He was 12 and she was 15 or 16. They got married and had kids.
That's retarded. What if your 12 year old son came home with a high schooler and told you, "This is the woman I'm going to marry."
>>68198351
>Just one line might've made the ending less asspull
That's what the "I brought you tea." "Thanks, you're so sweet!" exchange was for. And Bryan used a screenshot of the two of them as his header in the clipshow explanation/apology post.
>>68198290
But the problem with that is Asami literally had nothing else to do. Imagine Asami didn't exist, it just would have been Jinora, Kataara, or Pema. They lost track of what to do with Asami after Book 2, so they made her become Korra's emotional support.
The whole Korrasami relationship was a moment of convenience where "Hey, these two seem to be good friends, what if they go full blown bi in the finale??"
They basically admit as much that it was done for their progressive friends, and the biggest problem is, that view is not consistent to the entire show. It was a last minute decision that will forever seem out of place narratively.
I just think it's pretty dishonest.
Let's look at all the crowning moments of all canon pairings we had:
>Kataang
Aang refusing to let go of Katara because of how much he loves her and showing how his love for the air nomads got reborn into his love for Katara
>maiko
"I love Zuko more than I fear you"
>sukka
Sokka going apeshit and jeopardizing their mission to interrogate Azula on Suki's whereabouts
>makorra
Saving each other from Amon
What is korrasami's big moment? The "I'm here for you"? We already got one of those for makorra back in book 1
>>68198440
>Man we are never gonna have a decent Avatar thread again are we?
There have been several in the last few days. Now if you thought *this* thread wasn't going to be about the shitstorm...
>>68198410
She disappeared for 6 months, lied to her parents and didn't even bother to visit her supposed lover when she was in the same city.
The whole start of S4 is a bit murky about how close they actually were. We know they wrote a bit, but thats about it.
>>68198413
Honestly, Bryke has no one to blame other than themselves. Sure, you can blame Nick, but Nick had their reasons to throw Bryke under a bus. They are poor writers and Nick realized they made a mistake in letting two guys (who had Avatar on their belts) take total control of a new series. The poor writing crippled the series and the show's ending only reinforced this imo. Bryke's hilarious tumblr posts later to confirm Korrasami showed that they're both morons. Really, I'm done following these two. I'm off to find the next Bryke and hopefully they won't take a shit on their creation.
>>68198357
>Are you paranoid enough to think someone would stuff the ballot for a fucking meaningless internet poll?

No, it comes naturally out of Book 3's finale and Korra and Asami's interactions in Book 4. It feels like they skipped a couple of steps, but look at how Mai and Zuko got together entirely offscreen.

Not only the first few weeks, but the worst of her depression too. When Korra left for the south pole, she didn't have circles around her eyes anymore. I kind of wish we saw some of that healing though.
>>68198458
>Aang refusing to let go of Katara because of how much he loves her and showing how his love for the air nomads got reborn into his love for Katara
Then he does let go of her, then Azula kills him, then a rock saves him so he never had to let go of her in the first place?

Different anon, but I saw nothing but close friends. Asami, after hating Korra (and vice versa), started to take care of her out of caring. You don't have to be gay in order to take care of someone. Friends do this shit all the time.
>>68198517
3,2,1... now.
It's almost mind boggling how much emphasis some people are putting on the supposed greatness of Korasami. They act like they're the new Romeo and Juliet of bisexuality rather than a hamfisted attempt to prop up a ignominious ending with shoddy pandering.
>>68198468
>The poor writing crippled the series and the show's ending only reinforced this imo.
I don't think good writing would have increased the show's viewership among kids 10-13, which is where Nick makes its money via advertising.
Once it failed with them, even Emmy worthy writing wasn't going to save it.
The poor writing was just incidental.

Thank you, that's exactly the crux of the issue. Friends could do that shit all the time and there needs to be an effort made to show that they're doing things for each other as more than friends.
>>68198454
Katara was 14, son, as was Azula. Mai and Ty Lee were 15, Zuko, Sokka, and Suki were 16. Aang and Toph were 12.

of course they can, but in retrospect it's pretty damn obvious what they meant it to be read as, there was set up it's just really subtle and understated.
>>68198586
I don't remember ATLA's demographics and stats, but the show had consistent writing for the most part, whereas LOK drove along a plot-filled bumpy as fuck road. Books 1 and 2 were just painful to sit through. Book 3 had its share of problems, but the writing and the character interactions improved, book 4 regressed and it ended fairly weak (Korrasami included).
