What a shitty pic. Literally hundreds of gorgeous art and you choose that.
Anyway,
it fucking happened
>>1642432
It sure did.
As a result, I have done absolutely nothing constructive all day. Head's too full of Korrasami for anything else.
>canon
Wait WHAT?!
>>1642432
It reminded me a bit of the spirit world, at least color-wise anyway.
>>1642437
I know, right?

This doesn't redeem the rest of the show, but it's a pretty great way to end.
>>1642445
I'm kinda sad now, never though I would miss Korra of all people but I can only imagine the thousand adventures they'd had in the spirit world.
>>1642454
You do understand the implications of Korra being strongest in spiritual world? She is literal god there. Meaning she can bend reality itself to fuck Asami from 1000 different angles.

Now I have to catch up but I'm still super happy. I also got to see all the mad when it exploded.
>>1642454
Hopefully there will be sequel comics.
>>1642455
So does that mean Asami can enjoy multiple Korras at once?
>>1642457
I don't blame you for dropping it after Season 2.
Unfortunately, Season 3 is when Korra starts getting pretty good.
Before I go and the last season I gotta ask.
Was there hints to korrasami happening or was it just shoehorned in to please shippers?
>>1642461
Those poor spirits will be traumatized of two sweaty humans... one sweat human being fucked by endless Korra army.
>>1642463
Dude, season 3 was Korrasami friendship season. And best relationships come from friendships!
>>1642463
The letters, driving together, the two joking about how they dated mako, korra and asami in a desert together
There is enough but there will times when they will not be together at all, or even in the same episode.
>>1642463
there are hints, but there aren't many. If you watch the season solely for their relationship you will be bored 90% of the time.
>>1642463
There were a few hints sprinkled here and there;
>Asami wanting to go with Korra to the South Pole
>Korra only writting letters to Asami
>The compliant on the hair + the blush.
But I didn't think they showed any really obvious hints at a relationship until the finale.
>>1642463
Nothing incredibly obvious, but I think we all went 'Waaaaait a minute' during the ending to Season 3.
>>1642463
I'd say there were hints since last season.
>>1642472
>I think we all went 'Waaaaait a minute' during the ending to Season 3.
S3's finale is really the point when something showed up on my gaydar, yeah.
>>1642463
There were just enough hints that it could happen without being a total asspull, but at the same time, not so many that it was Aang/Katara level foreshadowing. They could have done it, or they could have not done it, and there was enough evidence that either path would have been supported.
>all this happening, and apparently seasons 3 and 4 are decent regardless
I guess it's time to finish watching this. Am I missing anything important by skipping book 2? I only watched 1 and stopped there.
>>1642480
Varric, mostly.
Do you think they'll get married someday?
>>1642480
There was this 'Origin of the First Avatar' two-parter in Season 2 that was pretty decent. Good animation, nice story, explains Korra's giant glowing talking tattoo in Beyond the Wilds.
>>1642482
Yes. Omg yes. That smile. That Asami. That Korra. There are no words.
>>1642487
Someone upload the entire comic
>>1642480
Only the introduction of the best male character in the show. Other than Varrick though you could just read a plot recap.
S3 and S4 are solid, still not as good as ATLA but we DID get a gay end out of it, so...
Can someone here with GIF-making skills PLEASE give us a Korrasami "your tears are delicious"?
/u/ never gets to say it, but now we do
ATLA s2 > ATLA s1 > Korra s3 > ATLA s3 > Korra s4 = Korra s1 > Korra s2
Is this pretty much the consensus?
>>1642497
Are you a /co/ refugee? Are they still losing their shit?
In any case, Korra s4>Korra s1, they really fucked up Amon with the daddy issues.
Can't wait to see all of the fanart of Korra and Asami having vacation sex in the spirit world.
>>1642497
>Korra s4 = Korra s1
Go back to /co/
>>1642503
Yeah. /co/ is in ashes.
>goes to /co/ to see what is everyone is talking about
>>1642507
Let's be fair anon, while Korrasami ending was beyond wonderful the series finale could've been better as a whole.
>>1642509
Like /a/ was when Naruto ended?
Is Makorra the new NaruSaku?
>>1642514
Not that intense considering it wasn't for the same amount of time with the same amount of teases but yes.Best girl won.
>>1642513
The finale sure, but the whole season?
Nope.
>>1642513
It was better than expected
For one it was nice to finally see real bending in korra
>parallels the romantic ending between Aang/Katara from ATLA
>that hand holding
>that loving gaze
>that months alone together
Feels good man. My fanart folder has exploded since last night.
>>1642497
Stuff like this only brings arguing. But I didn't like ATLA s1 that much, I'd put it a higher than ATLA s3 just because you're getting to know the characters and the pace is good.
I am honestly not sure what makes me happier: /u/ getting to win for once, or the Makorrafags being so completely buttblasted over it.

That's all the pages.
>>1642497
Hahahaha, no. No that's not the consensus.
Only Freddie Mercury can express what I'm feeling right now.
Even Vanity Fair got word of it
http://www.vanityfair.com/vf-hollywood/2014/12/korra-series-finale-recap-gay-asami?mbid=social_twitter
>>1642528
I think there are some b&w pages with asami's acceptance
>>1642530
To be fair, Freddie could express anything.
But especially what I am feeling right now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRlGFXl_e1E
Now as glad as I am over Korrasami I'm also really happy for Varrick/Zhu Li and dat Tahno.
I'm only a little embarrassed by how happy this made me.
>>1642457
>/co/ in flames
i just checked that thread
>>1642531
>call it groundbreaking, call it earth-bending

>>1642539
>as glad as I am over Korrasami I'm also really happy for Varrick/Zhu Li
mah politically-incorrect term for a person of african descent
>>1642466
>There is enough but there will times when they will not be together at all, or even in the same episode.
That has more to do with the fact that they never really bothered to make Asami a relevant character.
Ha, not that it matters now that she won the Avatar.
>>1642459
>Hopefully there will be sequel comics.
Hopefully not.
I can see Nickelodeon destroying the ship because MUH CHILDREN.
>>1642551
Also look at how terrible the AtlA comics were.
>>1642551
they have no power over it anymore
>>1642554
So in theory Bryke could take their Avatar franchize and do a new show on another network? Maybe this time without the restrictions of having to make it kid friendly? That seems weird, usually tv networks have contracts where the franchize is always theirs to use, and never belongs to the creators.
I liked how Asami showing up to interrupt a moment between Korra and Tenzin paralleled the scene from the flashback episode.
>>1642556
They should just let it lie outside of giving more confirmation that Korra and Asami are wife and wife.
>>1642553
yeah they destroyed Zuko's mom for me.
>>1642561
To be honest I'd destroy Zuko's mom too.
>>1642553
Maybe they'll get a new writer.
>>1642561
You didn't think a six-year-old's "my mom is the bestest" was the final word on Ursa's personality, did you? While the comics aren't without their faults, writing Ursa as a human capable of mistakes wasn't one of them.
>>1642562
I hear Azula would destroy Zuko's mom as well.>tfw it's forever dead and gone.
Apparently there's a debate on Korras wikipedia page whether Asami should be listed under 'Significant Other' as 'Girlfriend' or not. It's been edited and revised a bit and at the moment it seems they are waiting for some kind of confirmation before adding it.
>>1642567
Not surprised. Shipping and wikis rarely get along unless the creator brings out the broadsides.
>>1642567
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Korra_(The_Legend_of_Korra)#You_may_not_like_it.2C_but_it.27s_canon.
for the curious
>>1642567
They should go with "best friend <3" as a compromise.
>>1642570
>dat final version
Feels great. Also the spinning works way better there
>>1642441
>>1642574
Denying it now would cause a bigger shitstorm than confirming it. It would be cowardice on a Sony level.
>>1642575
(ffs, accidentally deleted it)
All this debate, especially on sites like wikipedia, worries me. What we have now is to most of
us a pretty obvious canon relationship but the lack of outright explicit declaration of love leaves Nickelodeon and Bryke with plausible deniability. which is there in case this shit blows out of proportion and will be used. It makes me worry that if pressed Bryke/Nickelodeon will simply explain it away as platonic.
Please /u/, assure me that everyothing will be all right.
It's finally over. What now? How can I overcome this void that's inside? Hold me tight /u/
>>1642576
They will just handle it like their Japanese inspirations: Never directly addressing it.
>>1642574
If there's showrunners who know how the Internet reacts to shipping, it's Bryke. They knew exactly what they were doing and according to a storyboard artist, they even specifically made the ending gayer for the broadcast version. Besides, going back on the obvious romantic implications would make everyone involved look terrible.
>>1642575
But the point is that in that case it never was romantic in the first place, therefore they wouldn't really backtrack.
>>1642577
I feel empty too. Nearly 10 years of watching Avatar and now nothing. I'd just play some good video though the series finale is going to be on TV in a bit.
>>1642580
It's too late, everybody already sees it as romantic. They redid it to make it more romantic. Originally it would have just been them going on vacation with no hand-holding and less subtext. They're not going to back out, unless maybe if North Korea threatens them.
>>1642582
Considering how constant Asami sufferred throughout the series, I'd gladly accept her getting a happy end with Korra
>>1642584
Let's not forget that her father died just a couple of hours ago. He was squished to death like a mosquito by a giant mech. Even when Asami wins and gets the happy end, she still suffers.
>>1642585
You really think they arranged the whole wedding in a couple of hours? It was days or even weeks later.
Anons, don't fool yourselves. They are just friends, i don't see or feel anything romantic in Korra and Asami.
>>1642585
I wonder if Korra ever apologized for not using more ice once Kuvira started to break free.
>>1642428
Whoa, whoa, slow down.
Now I don't know shit about Avatar besides a few episodes of the first series I saw all the way back in the mid-'00s when it premiered, but I do know the current series has a female protagonist.
Is it legit, is Nickelodeon letting this kind of stuff fly? I figured they'd be more careful after all that crap about Spongebob being kinda gay all those decades ago.
>>1642587
back to /co/ with you.
>>1642573
All of my keks.
>>1642586
Yeah, come on. There are two time skips.
>>1642590
Believe me, we didn't expect the ending to be as gay as it was either.
>>1642560
… No. Neither of the people on the zine Asami is reading are Korra or Asami. They're both light-skinned on the cover, and that wouldn't make any sense anyways. Not that it has anything to do with their relationship, which is clearly heavily developed across B3 to B4.
And the gap is going to grow bigger by the days.
>>1642590
It was nothing explicit but the two main female main characters held hands and looked lovingly into each other's eyes before going on away for months on a trip alone. >>1642439 This is a call back to the original series where Aang and Katara ended the series with a kiss. Even the music is the same (titled Avatar's Love).
Anons happy with Korrasami.
>>1642590
Yeah, it's legit.
It could only be gayer if they'd kissed and even then, it wouldn't be that much gayer.
"They'd never actually make korrasami canon"
"It's a kids show!"
"I'm so hopeless about these two"
IT'S HAPPENING
>>1642601
>pony shirts
Dear fucking lord
Remember folks, it's completely platonic scissoring.
>>1642606
Of course it is
There is nothing gay about two girls being gay for each other
>>1642606
Exactly. Every time a couple girls scissor or have hardcore rug munching fests everybody assumes they're gay.
>>1642611
What is the sponebob shitstorm everybody seems to be referencing these days? Did I miss something important?
The cynic in me held my breath until they actually stepped into the portal and turned to each other. At first the scene with Mako obviously made me worry, especially with Korras reaction and that camera panning. Then I thought the scene with Tenzin showing how Korras had grown etc. would be the last one. Then after my worry that they would take a group vacation had been cleared I couldn't even help myself from thinking that in those last seconds before they enter, Bolin and co. would suddenly appear and 'join in' as a surprise or some shit.
Fuck me I'm damaged...
>>1642613
It's okay anon, this isn't the past anymore where all the hurt is. We /u/sers can begin to hope again.
>>1642612
People thought Spongebob and Patrick had too much homo.
It was a simpler, less civilised time.
>Look, the Americans just discovered lesbian girls in animation!
>They couldn't even make them kiss!
>>1642612
All the way back at the turn of the century when Spongebob was just getting started, you had a few "media watchdog" groups concerned about Spongebob's kind of flamboyant, questionable behavior, as well as the rest of the cast.
Now, it still crops up occasionally, but it got bad enough that the higher-ups involved with the series proper had to get involved in that first wave.
>>1642611
Now that I think about it I haven't seen religious people saying avatar is satanic
>>1642618
Man, they thought one of the Teletubbies was gay because he was purple and owned a purse.
They're like the reverse /u/ - certain that there are gays everywhere and not happy about it.
I feel like the yellow light of the spirit portal is going to become an iconic part of /u/ even beyond Korrasami.
>>1642623
You can bet they will be now.
Say it with me: "diabolical plot to sway America's children towards the Homosexual Agendaâ„¢"
>>1642621
And Japs suffer from this strange thing where being a lesbian is only viewed as something that happens during highschool years and afterwards they find themselves good husbands.
POST MORE KORRASAMI WE NEED TO CELEBRATE
>>1642627
>>1642625
then start shooping, anon
1080
>>1642628
Still leagues ahead of us and that view is starting to change.
>>1642632
Still nothing about how this teaches lesbian communist witchcraft to kids
>>1642632
But articles like that are just as bad as the blind people saying it isn't there.
>>1642632
oh look. an edgelord, now he will use the word "sheeple"
>>1642630
>>1642641
At least with all this coverage there is basically no way for Bryke and co. to backpedal on it without calling up a major shitstorm.
It's impressive how this managed to become more canon than Velma/Marcie in Mystery Incorporated.
Calling it now, Bryke's official statement will be that they'renot sure
Ren and Stimpy was doing this shit 20 years ago guys.
But in all seriousness, kids could view it either way and it doesn't effect the quality of the ending.
>>1642645
>>1642647
They wouldn't have even if there wasn't. Nick may have, but yeah. Now nobody can without risking being called out as a homophobe.
>>1642655
"It's up to your own interpretation" seems like the safest bet.
>>1642647
People on both sides just need to chill out and stop reading too much/too little into it and just enjoy the /u/. It's not some sort of major sociopolitical movement.
>>1642660
maybe with a side of, "We put in the hints that we wanted."
So how many pictures of Korra and Asami being all romantic in the yellow beam of light do /u/ think there are going to be?
Somebody get a miko embrace with the yellow light done.
>>1642660
I'm actually thinking that this could give Nick a lot of good press and they will go for confirmation. All will be well, /u/.
>>1642664
Too many. I want more of the honeymoon or the adventuring but we'll just get more yellow portal pictures with increasing amounts of Tumblr nose.
>>1642666
Media seems to be praising the episode quite a bit for this. They're definitely getting good press already.
>>1642667
>>1642667
I'm going to beat them all to the punch.
>korrasami is canon
I'm just happy that korra found someone 〳 ＾ ▽ ＾ 〵
>>1642667
>I want more of the honeymoon or the adventuring
I know that feel. Hopefully we get some quality ficcers on it soon.I would do it myself but goddamn am I a shit writer
>>1642664
I have 11 saved already. I'm just waiting for comics of their spirit world adventures.
>>1642669
Absolutely disgusting.
>>1642669
sweet jesus
>>1642673
No the comics would be horrible, all we need is a confirmation and we'd be set while the writers and artists would have even more of a hay day.
>>1642671
I'm happy Asami found someone. Korra needs to hurry up and get her pregnant so there's someone to run the company when she retires.
>>1642637
>1916x1076
>1080
liar
All the people saying it is ambiguous really makes me wish they kissed just to shut them up.
>>1642671
What is holding those dresses up?
>>1642682
homosexuality.
>>1642682
Makorra shippers' lost souls
>>1642682
The invisible hands of network censors.
I feel bad for Mako. You KNOW they're going to tease the fuck out of him when they get home.
>>1642693
he doesn't care he would of got lin pregnant by then
>>1642693
Don't feel bad anon, Mako will find a nicemonasteryto settle down with eventually.
>>1642695
>Him
>Impregnating Lin
HA. AHAHA, anon pls. Lin would impregnate him.
>>1642688
But then they'd have a weaker argument for complaining about the end.
>>1642697
>>1642698
They'd be using the same argument they're making now about shit writing and it coming out of no whereapparentlybut it'd be even louder. However yes, a kiss would've solidified the pairing and everything would be well.
>>1642698
>a weaker argument
When has the strength of an argument ever mattered on 4chan?
Hell, /u/ of all places should know.
I came really quick from /v/ for ask if it's true the MC turned gay. Is it?
>>1642703
Yes.
I don't get it, they never kissed or anything.
For all we know they're just going on a spirit world adventure.
>>1642703
>Turned
She was pretty gay to begin with, neighbor.
>>1642705
And have friendly make-outs and platonic sex.
>>1642705
see pic
>>1642482
I know it's not /u/ but when Varrick proposed to Zhuli I was made he didn't use a water tribe betrothal necklace.
>>1642703
Bisexual I guess technically.
Mako was the first boyfriend that Korra and Asami ever had. What is it about him that put Korra and Asami into each other's arms?
Sure is sort of a dick and awkward. He can't express his feelings and he lied to both of them.
>>1642710
>>1642705
this pic, that is
>>1642713
I can just imagine Bolin teasing Mako about he turns all his girlfriends gay.
>>1642711
Isn't that a northern water tribe thing?
He is from the south
Best Post finale fic yet.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/2802722
>>1642714
I don't know, girls can be pretty big faggots
and not in the gay way
>>1642716
yes it is a northern tribe thing.
Which makes all the fanart with korra giving asami a necklace incorrect too.
>>1642678
they gotta get married first tho. Asami needs a water tribe necklace
>>1642719
I mean if you want them to be gay then they don't have to. We're obviously never going to get an actual answer for this.
>>1642722
Just wait till you get some recap movies an a sequel to those.
Isn't Korra's dad from the North?
>>1642455
As well as knock each other up with magic babies
drawrequest plz
>>1642715
>I can just imagine Bolin teasing Mako about he turns all his girlfriends gay.
He probably turned Wu gay, too.
>>1642724
Yes, he was also the next in the line for the throne but he got kicked from there and became the chief of the south instead
>>1642576
Plus leaving it as it is lets them broadcast in Russia since they are homohaters. That is why Princess Bubblegum and Marceline can't kiss
>>1642720
>yes it is a northern tribe thing.
This is true, but the two tribes are so connected that it should be used in the South, too.
So who is the alpa and who is the beta in the canon ship?
Asami looks like a girl who is not afraid of trying new things.
>>1642734
>the two tribes are so connected
Both series have donne nothing but show how different they are
>>1642736
Their populations are linked. The Southern Tribe was almost gone and was repopulated from the North. Katara and Sokka's grandmother was from the North. Korra's father is from the North.
>>1642737
Take that to /co/.
>>1642738
But their traditions and culture are still different, this was an important plotpoint in S2
>>1642735
>So who is the alpa and who is the beta
>implying it works like that.
>>1642739
>>>/co/68100033
Happy now, cunt?
>>1642737
Korra grew up on a White Lotus compound with no one her own age other then White Lotus guards. Mako and Bolin were the first boys she ever knew her age and available.
Asami likewise was probably raised in a sheltered environment. Mother killed by a fire bender criminal. Hiroshi probably kept her on the estate grounds. Private schooling, chaperoned by older people while out in the city.
>>1642745
On her behalf, she also had no girlfriend, which she outright admits to Asami while remarking how good it feels.
Makorra was an "in your face" ship from the get-go.
>>1642743
Yes I am, dyke.

Congrats, you just broke /co/.
>>1642751
/co/ was well on its way to breaking already, that along with /a/ catching wind of this pushed them over the edge.
>>1642754
Why does /a/ hate us anyways? I never hung around the board long enough to find out.
>>1642756
Elitism perhaps.
>>1642756
They (we?) don't. There are a handful of vocal yuri haters and another couple of yuri fans who still hate /u/ due to autism over seeing crack ships, 3D, and Western stuff on the board.
>>1642756
I wouldn't say they actively hate us, they're just apathetic but can get whipped up into a hateful rage if enough tears are involved. Also probably some yuri posters over there that give our board a worse name than we probably already got.
Also hentai's obvious love of dick in most porn might've given them some idea...possibly several reasons.
>>1642756
>Why does /a/ hate us anyways?
/a/ hates all the boards that also talk about anime, because they are a convenient blame target for shitposting on a thread that both boards would be interested in.
Basically /a/ hates /u/ because they think the /a/ yurifags are all /u/ crossboarders come to shitpost. They hate /m/, /c/, and /y/ for the same reason.

>/a/ doesn't ship best girl with the other best girl
What fools!
>>1642764
Has there been any decent K/u/vira or has Korrasami taken up all interest?
>>1642766
Check the previous thread, sis. There was talk of Kuvira wanting to get together with Suyin but Suyin didn't so they broke it off and Kuvira turned to making love to female soldiers in the Imperial army while telling Bataar they'd get married after the war.
>>1642766
Korrasami has been an all-devouring black hole of triumph recently, but Korvira certainly exists out there.
I kind of thought there'd be a little more mainstream coverage at this point.
>>1642776
We've reached the point where having a lesbian couple in a cartoon is barely a big deal. Maybe if they kissed.
>>1642777
Plus animu, ANIMU, has made more progress this year than the west in regards to sapphism in media.
>>1642776
A lot of major news sites have covered it, though. Forbes and Vanity Fair are not to be blown off, even if they are not prime-time cable news.
Also, it just happened; it usually takes a few days for the controversy mill under Rupert's volcano lair to finish grinding away.
>>1642761
they also hate themselves. kinda like /tv/
>>1642781
Every board on 4chan hates itself, though.
