Friendly reminder that Korra drowned her sorrows in the three years with cheap Water Tribe booze.

kek, poor Korra.
I liked to think when season 2 was on, that Asami would spend her mornings sadly walking around her empty mansion, since all the staff quit, talking to no one, waiting for something interesting with the Krew to happen.
>>1968739
Speaking of, all the moonshine must be making me blind since I failed to notice this thread and started making another one.

Asami seems like the kind of person who'd just start tinkering with something until she passes out when she's lonely and/or bored
>>1968859
>Asami seems like the kind of person who'd just start tinkering with something until she passes out when she's lonely and/or bored
Yeah. She just doesn't seem like an "idler." Later on she turns to work when she gets lonely/sad. How else would she manage to get so much done in the 3 year time skip?

>"And we'll put this giant statue of Avatar Korra in the center of Avatar Korra Park, between Avatar Korra Street and Avatar Korra Avenue. Right across the street from Avatar Korra Wines andSpirits."

Let's face it. Who's surprised? Asami goes full out. She has zero chill when it comes to her romantic interests. Funding a probending team and housing them was her being low-key.

Do you think the red/blue scheme means they will be enemies eventually?
I just watched both series for the first time back to back, and it's almost painful knowing there won't be a continuation of this relationship. I'm usually not a shipfag, but the slow build to the ending of the last episode was terrific.

Why are guys so obsessed with this concept? It's not even an actual thing. Lesbians on average go at it less often for longer, the average time's still the same.
>>1971990
Obsessed with a couple dying?
>>1971997
The lesbian bed death is not about dying but about the sex life of lesbians quickly drying up and it becoming stale quickly, after you moved in with your girlfriend after the second date with your u-haul and cats.
>>1971812
that will never happen, but fortunately it doesn't have to.
>>1971990
Simple: It's all about anons never even experiencing an actual sex life that might dry up of course.
>>1971928
Not necessarily. Deadpool doesn't fit in with the family friendly brand, and there are a few x-gays that could potentially get their own movies some day. I know DC has a direct to dvd animated movie that includes Batwoman that just came out, but I have no idea if she actually does anything gay in it. Also the Wonder Woman movie is set in WW1, so I doubt any gay shit is going to happen in that.
I would bring up the possibility of live action Korra movie, but I don't think anyone's going to touch that franchise after Shymalimadingdong tainted it.
>>1972075
Deadpool is not Disney Marvel, he wont crossover with any of the Disney own properties. If we get lucky we get gay marvel in one of the netflix series which is aimed at adults. We already have one side character in that and in Shields, but honestly movie wont happen for awhile. We barely gonna get a female led movie up in 2019.
Deadpool also went aggressively no homo in the movie so even in non Disney Marvel movies I doubt we gonna see anything, and there really arent to many gays in that universe that can lead a movie.
Its the same with DC really.
>>1972082
>We barely gonna get a female led movie up in 2019.
Which was already pushed back twice.
The second time to make a room for the second Ant-man movie.
Seriously Marvel kinda sucks ass.
>>1972082
If Gambit can get his own movie, I don't really see why Mystique or Jubilee can't.
They would have to recast Mystique though. Jlaw was an awful choice. From what I've heard and the previews, she refused to put on the makeup for the character she is being paid to play.

Sadly the Marvel Cinematic Universe is not as fun as the comicverse so I'm not holding my breath for them to catch up with it anytime soon.
>>1972096
Well, the second Ant-Man movie is called Ant-Man and the Wasp, so presumably the Wasp will be a pretty major part of the film.
And the only Captain Marvel movie I want has Phyla-Vell in it, even if it's just as a side character to her brother's nutty shenanigans.
>>1972116
X-23 and Jubilee should co-lead as a gay couple who fight super villains between hot make outs.
>>1972149
X-Men aren't part of the MCU. X-Men belong to Fox.
And the comicverse hasn't been fun for years. I'm still cringing over the change of Cap Marvel. That short hair/no tits look is just shit.
>>1972157
It's sounds too good to be true, so it will never happen. Also, did they ever get back together after their initial team up?
>>1972334
Laura is currently the new Wolverine and is fucking the past version of Angel that has been brought into the present while Jubes is a member of an all female X-Men team.
>>1972171
>X-Men aren't part of the MCU. X-Men belong to Fox.
That's not exactly true. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were in Avengers: Age of Ultron, so it's possible to obtain licensing for the characters.
>>1972353
Ah, well. Good for Jubes, sad for Laura. So I guess that's a no on them teaming up together.
>>1972370
Those two were in Avengers mostly because those two characters first appeared in an Avengers comic, that they are muties is only a second detail. It's a shared rights thing that way. Notice how neither of them is called by their code names, Wanda is missing her actual magic (and is basically a Not!Jean Grey) and Pietro has been killed, coinciding with Quicksilver's appearance in DoFP?
With other characters it's way trickier and Fox HATES Disney, so they won't cut a deal like Sony did for Spidey.
>>1972389
For the foreseable future. I doubt the thing with Warren will last though. Laura isn't allowed to be happy after all (also the whole not aging normally thing would get weird after a while)
>>1972116
>>1972157
>Jubilee and X-23
God damn they blew such a great opportunity in the comics.
Jubilee being this happy-go-lucky joker put in a dark place but trying to carry on being happy, and X-23 being this hard-boiled bad ass with a grim as fuck past but searching for something better.
They shove them together and it's basically lesbian buddy-cop style adventure with extra emotionally supporting moments, just waiting to happen. Sadly it only happened for a handful of issues and they haven't done anything with them since.
>>1972392
Especially when they carried on with VampJubilee during Battleworld, and gave her two girlfriends. Poor Pixie getting killed off sucked though. I interested to see what they make of it post-reboot.

>>1974221
It's to be expected with no new content. The frequency of posting/discussion of the previous Avatar/LoK threads also means that we've pretty much covered everything even remotely /u/ related, and then some.

>>1974228

I'm glad Korrasami happened, but the lack of Lin Beifong in /u/ is inexcusable.
>>1974361

Linorra dropped really fucking hard in popularity after the first season, so I don't really have much content for it. You just need to accept your Korrasami overlords.Or go full patrician with Linorrasami.
>>1974361
>>1974389
I like Korra, and I like Lin, and I like pretty much every scene they have together and their relationship, and I get why people ship them, but for some reason I just don't feel it. I am terribly into her being resigned to her love/hate relationship with her career, however.
>>1974428not those aneesons
Just before S3 blindsided us with how good it was, I was feeling Linorra, though I saw pockets of Jinorra in S2 as well. I just honestly could not find myself putting Korra and Asami together.
The former dropped the ball at being a likable protagonist so hard all the way through to the S2 finale by being an insecure bully or stealing some dude I'm supposed to care for from S1E5 on, and I wanted to feel bad for the latter but she was such a non-character and literal vehicle until her welcome surprise upgrade to deuteragonist in S3.
I seriously hope you guys don't undersell just how radically good S3 was, especially in light of the disappointing S1 and abysmal S2. I dropped S2 just before the Wan episodes (which I don't honestly see what the big deal is; they were just non-shit episodes in a horrid season), and only marathoned the end of S2 when S3's Nick-español leaks came out and I was impressed enough to bother being up to date.
>>1972353
> Implying that some quippy doppleganger is Laura Kenny.
>>1974435
>The former dropped the ball at being a likable protagonist so hard all the way through to the S2 finale by being an insecure bully
That's a bit harsh. I thought for the most part Korra managed to straddle the line between naive/cocky, with quite a bit of character growth thrown in. It wasn't always pleasant to watch or smooth sailing, but she was sincere & generally kind enough to find sympathetic over annoying. But I suppose that's a matter of personal taste.
>or stealing some dude I'm supposed to care for
This is true, however. Mako brought out the worst in Korra's character, with the one notable exception when she told him to not be a selfish dick and go support his actual girlfriend in crisis.
>I wanted to feel bad for the latter but she was such a non-character and literal vehicle
Gotta hard core disagree with you here. Asami is subtle character, and aside from the more cringey sugary moments with Mako (once again, making everything worse) she's actually more 3 dimensional than either of the unnecessary brothers. Now if she had remained evil like originally conceived, I might've agreed with you.
But I gotta give you B2, where yeah, she backslides and falls terribly flat. But let's be fair, nobody came out of B2 looking good except Wan and Raava, the true LoK OTP.
>I seriously hope you guys don't undersell just how radically good S3 was
Trust me, we don't. It's universally agreed here that B3 was the best. And even arguably the strongest in the entire franchise. B4 is also good, but there a few more glaring flaws we get stuck on.
>>1974471
>That's a bit harsh
True, if simplified down enough Korra would seem at fault all the time, but you're right in that there was strong character development for Korra, even if the burgeoning pains were extremely painful.
>Mako brought out the worst in Korra's character
At what point do we say that the horrible matchmaking was intentional by the writers? It's so befuddling to think a human being could see Mako and Korra's interactions as anything remotely resembling a good couple.
It scurrs me that invoking Occam's Razor means amongst the writers there was at least one really really adamant Makorran who had their way for the better part of at least one season.
>more 3 dimensional than either of the unnecessary brothers
Though naturally a given, the fact of Asami's not falling into the Sabateuress trope itself does not necessarily make for a good character.
>cont.
>>1974361

>>1974471
>>1975059
She was overly nice, but had bite (with Korra at her accusations against Hiroshi and with Mako for his infidelity); she was more moral than loyal when defeating her father twice, but is mostly never overtly rewarded for her immense sacrifice.
Going against her father is easily the biggest personal sacrifice of her own action of all the characters, possibly throughout this series exceptHiroshi's deathand maybe Lin's futile distraction that had her debended (oh noes).
Even if Asami had the makings of a great character, the cause-effect system for her actions were diminished or negated at every turn, and thus her plotlines never had any weight to the story.

To be fair, everyone actually came out of B2 for the better. B2E1's foreshadowing of Makorra's troubles culminated into a believable, if overly emotional, breakup, Tenzin's family issues were resolved, Bolin finally lived up to his earlygame reputation as a ladies' man and garnered a mentor figure who is a refreshing character in his own right, Mako grew into his cop role and had an exploitable ex-boyfriend dynamic for the next seasons, and Korra finally shed her epithetical obligations and could seriously begin anew as her own character in a Breath of Fresh Air.
>universally agreed here that B3 was the best. And even arguably the strongest in the entire franchise
Funny how literally putting two seemingly disparate girls together actually made things way better than they should be on paper. The power of lesbians, yo.
I liked B4 even with the budget cuts, tbhfam. Tied with Fire for me. Both had strong beginnings, questionable mid-seasons, and phenomenal finales.

>Even if Asami had the makings of a great character, the cause-effect system for her actions were diminished or negated at every turn, and thus her plotlines never had any weight to the story.
It's true a lot of the aftermath of her storylines were off-screen, but I'm not sure that has any bearing on her quality as a character? And while I do think her general plot lines should have been more enmeshed in the main plot (or at the very least not hijacked by...sigh, the unnecessary brothers) I thought her B1 arc was relatively well done, and honestly thanks to the utter botching of how they framed Korra air bending (once again, thanks Mako, for muddying that situation so dumbasses can squeal that Korra "did it for love") it was the most emotional impactful moment in the finale save Korra's utter despair/suicidal mien at the end (which was once again, capped by the grossness of Makorra. SIGH.) Just because we didn't get to see everything play out with her like we did with Korra (a bit of an unfair comparison, Korra is MC after all) considering her a "non-character" just doesn't sit right with me.
>>1975087
>To be fair, everyone actually came out of B2 for the better
True. If I had more faith in Bryke (at that time) I would have totally figured they bombed on purpose to rescue everybody from the ashes later. The absolute failure of Makorra as a couple, at least, was fully intentional. The failure of plot and general common sense though...
>The power of lesbians, yo.

No. But it should be. Especially after Varrick/Zhu Li were paired in the show.
>>1975326
>I think this is why people dislike us.
It's more than just that, though some of it is less valid than that.
>>1975331
I think it's also that people in these threads can be pretty salty themselves when they get told something they don't like to hear and thus the name calling starts. You know just like back in school. Growing older is mandatory, growing up is not.
>>1975326
>Especially after Varrick/Zhu Li were paired in the show.
The writers just found it easier to write for those characters it seems. Those two really belonged in their own show what with all the time they took up considering their position.
>>1975314
>It's like the Concerned witch hunt that sometimes cropped up in the past.
Honestly most of that seemed tongue-in-cheek, like an inside joke. But the posters (with the similar concerned outlook, let's be real) got all huffy about it, probably because they're not really aware of the joke/weren't around when Concerned was at full power.
Kinda like calling everyone nee-chan. It's a /u/ joke, but if some outsider comes in and gets called that they might get all up in arms. "I aint a girl!"

I seriously hope you animators and writers don't do this.

Comics are an excellent medium. But depending on the artist and what restrictions or motivation they may have for the piece you might get something like
http://www4.zippyshare.com/v/t5I5wShj/file.html
a Hellcat issue which has Williams on art. It's okay, but that's it.
Looking at what she does for Lois and Clark for fun, this work lacks that and comes across as rather bland. Hopefully she'll give the LoK comics that Lois and Clark energy but judging by the samples provided it's a stretch. Unless Mike gets Bryan to harangue Brittney about her form and dynamics.

>"I don't regret dating him, but then again, I sorta do." I think Korra would sum Makorra up like so. Asami would flat out say dating Mako (both times) was a mistake.
Korra definitely matured from the experience though. Asami just lost whatever heterosexuality she began the series with.

I didn't mind the side-character cameos. It's a finale after all, and they were shoved into the background. The obscene amount of time devoted to Varrick and Bolin shenanigans was just reflective of the season as a whole.

That was a stupid post to make in the first place if we are being quite sincere familiar.
Just say that they were playing it safe even with the okay from Nickelodeon. There. No hetero lens or embracing eternity.
Or better yet don't say anything and watch the audience tear into each other and come Comic-Con show the two of them walking out of the spirit portal.

Bryan's a very talented art director, so I don't mind him having input on the comics in that way. I just don't want him whispering in Mke's ear about how they "have gay representation, but still need X, Y, Z representation".
Though, Mike's vetoing any gayness in the first season reassures me that he won't cave into Bryan.
>>1976637
>That was a stupid post to make in the first place
I liked Mike's post; it's short, and there's a bit of saltiness to it. He pretty much implies anyone denying the couple is a moron. "Here's a written statement to supplement what was an obvious visual statement."
>Just say that they were playing it safe even with the okay from Nickelodeon.
They added the double hand clasp. That's all asking Nick for permission allowed them. They were already going to do the holding hands.

Korra is the butch route. And we've already got Evangelion, glass that is stronger than platinum, and energy beam weaponry. The 20s were Book 1 only.

O fall of this, this is probably the most irritating. Even if the grill on that window was able to withstand the apartments Korra was flinging at it, there's no way the glass would have. The we just need the airbenders to fly up and send a wind tunnel into the cockpit, breaking everyone's bones. Or Korra just to fly up and lay waste with fire. It's aquite the gutpunch that one of this impossibly invulnerable Colossus malarkey would have been necessary of Nick had left them with enough of a budget to animate the army battle we had been building up to all season. That would have taken Book One money, which I suspect had more for its twelve episodes than the other forty combined.

I do wonder what drama will come about. It's a tradition to beat up Korra to show how powerful and cool the new antagonist is and how much of a threat they are so that's a guarantee. But what about relationships?
>>1978868
While they might have a few spats, I have a hard time seeing a full blown drama llama blowout between them ala Makorra. I think it the comics will continue with the model the 2 best seasons of LoK set - plot/Korra character heavy, romantic relationships in the background.
>>1978868
>It's a tradition to beat up Korra to show how powerful and cool the new antagonist is
That really only happened twice (Amon and Kuvira), and the latter time it was less about showing how powerful Kuvira was and more about showing that Korra still hadn't fully recovered.
>>1978752
I wonder what I missed here?
>>1978936
>I think it the comics will continue with the model the 2 best seasons of LoK set - plot/Korra character heavy, romantic relationships in the background.
I like to think that when Mike or Bryan mentioned that the comics would have some focus on Korra and Asami's relationship, that they meant that they would show Korra and Asami interacting with others as a couple. Basically, facing a lot of hurdles as a pair, rather than interpersonal, romantic drama between them.
Bryke also said that comics would allow them to do shit that they couldn't in the show, so lets see if they take advantage of that and show some explicitly sapphic moments.
>>1979127
Well they will kiss, that much is obvious.
>>1979190
>Well they will kiss, that much is obvious.
Relevant.
>>1979124
I didn't really get a sense for Korra wanting to spare Kuvira after her initial freakout when seeing double. She was recovered in physical after she got the poison out, that farce in Zaofu was just painful to watch. The doppelgänger didn't emerge until the end so Korra losing physically didn't make sense.
The fact that Kuvira was going toe-to-toe with Korra in the cockpit of the mech shows that even when back in control the show wants to push for these antagonists being able to compete evenly with her. Perhaps if they had Korra casually swatting aside Kuvira's attacks while trying to talk her down since then then I'd buy it.
>>1979125
Something magickal.
>>1979263
>that farce in Zaofu was just painful to watch. ...so Korra losing physically didn't make sense.
They were really trying to push Kuvira as a threat, but it seriously added to the frustration of seeing Korra being dominated when we'd seen that all of Book 4, and the last ep had shown us that Korra had overcome a huge hurdle.
They tried to achieve two things with that fight.
First, Korra had no beef with Kuvira, so they needed something to make it more personal. Fine. I can buy Kuvira wanting to kill Korra, even if it should make the entire world turn against her, because she had done several things that should have brought all the other nations down on her and it never materialised.
But the next part; making Kuvira seem like a threat by having her trounce Korra before Korra's flashback felt contrived and hurt Korra more than it helped Kuvira.
> Kuvira was going toe-to-toe with Korra in the cockpit of the mech shows that even when back in control the show wants to push for these antagonists being able to compete evenly with her.
It all goes back to the problem of making Korra achieve the Avatar state in Book 1. If they had known they would have four seasons, there is NO way they would have done that. Because of that, they have the Avatar State's power being wildly inconsistent. In Book 2, we're told Korra can't defeat Unalaq's army with the Avatar state. In Book 4, we're told Korra CAN defeat Kuvira's much larger, far better equipped army with the Avatar state.
Even then, there are plenty of times throughout the latter three seasons where Korra doesn't use the Avatar state simply because there would be no show if she did. Trying to sneak into Unalaq's camp. Being held captive by Eska and Desna. Rescuing the airbenders from the Earth Queen. Escaping the blimp and the desert. Fighting atop Laghima's Peak. Fighting Kuvira, both times.
Even outside Avatar state, Korra is still the strongest in the world, so Kuvira ever matching her was just for drama.
>>1979340
>Even outside Avatar state, Korra is still the strongest in the world, so Kuvira ever matching her was just for drama.
I disagree. Korra was never 'the strongest', being the Avatar was never an excuse for Aang either.
>>1979216
>I want two of them to French so hard the fucking Germans invade.
The absolute mad knee-chan.
>>1979349
Aang was still learning and a pacifist. He doesn't want to fight, that's his personality.
Aang made a fool out of Zhao with his tactics, could stand up to Azula even when fatigued and when the Earth soldiers were pummeling him with rocks. He even could have killed Ozai because he learned lightning redirection. And though the Avatar comics aren't regarded well even in other places, they have him pick up a city and defeat a spirit with pure strength - with earth, his so called weakest element.
They may have been trying to sell that whole "the world doesn't need you" angle, but then they have the characters pay lip service to Korra.
We see how in AtLA how Roku bested his teachers with feats far exceeding them while being trained and before he masted the Avatar State.
>>1979340
>even if it should make the entire world turn against her,
We haven't seen past situations where the nations came together to avenge/support the Avatar when they were dealing with internal affairs. Before she moved on the URN, Kuvira was in the EK's lands only.
>>1979578
Korra also throws enormous chunks of rock at the Colossus, as well as raising a river twenty stories into the air and flash freezing it in an instant. All outside the Avatar state. That she could do that, and ten minutes later be shown to have a real struggle defeating Kuvira was goofy. Even if Korra wasn't supposed to be exceptionally gifted even for an Avatar (which she is), she could just raw overpower Kuvira in an instant. But that would be a pretty anticlimactic final battle.
>>1979794
I wish they had established clear limitations on the Avatar state. Like only being able to use it every so often, depending on how much training you have with it. Then they could have just thrown in a moment where Korra tries to use it again and it fizzles out and she's forced to win without it.
>>1979578
AtlA and Korra are two very different shows though. AtlA was rather light-hearted if you compare it with Korra and definitely aimed at more younger kids, hence Aang was barely allowed to lose and I'm actually surprised they got away with what they did when it came to his defeats. Korra had a much more mature tone and was aimed at an older audience and as thus Korra was allowed to job a lot, because the modern hero these days is suppossed to struggle a lot so that when they overcome the struggle they come out better and stronger (jeez like Korra DOES in the end, who would have thought!). So it's not about what she's suppossed to be able to do in universe much more in what the tone of the show allowed. If they could have done so with AtlA then you can bet your ass that Aang would have jobbed as much if not more so than Korra.
>>1979794
It's also a matter of what she could use inside the Colossus. Was pretty limited to air (worst element) and fire and a little bit of metal (which she hasn't remotely mastered yet compared to Kuvira, Lin and Suyin for example). Sure she could have ROASTED Kuvira if she wanted to, but she didn't, as was clearly shown that she tried to talk with her as soon as the Mech went down.
>>1979794
Didn't they show Korra using the Avatar state while she was attacking to Colossus? It's been a while since I watched it, but I remember her eyes glowing while she did the most impressive stuff.
>>1980007
I can't definitively recall, but I think she "flashes" into the avatar state briefly for the big stuff, using it just enough to get it done then dropping it. The only time she really uses it full bore is during her fight with Zaheer? And redirecting the spirit beam canon?
>>1979807
>I wish they had established clear limitations on the Avatar state.
They did; but they were all related to achieving the state or dying while in it. Once you've mastered it, you've mastered it.
It's why they they came up with (some justified) reasons as well as contrivances for Korra not to use it.
>>1979834
Aang did job surprisingly often. To Jet, the FN archers, Azula, Combustion Man.
Korra, with the exception of Amon (where our hero Mako is the one that resists him) didn't job to the same opponent twice. An equalist surprises her with chi blocking (thanks White Lotus), and next time, she's ready. Overwhelmed by the big daddies, next time she beats them easily. Loses to Unavaatu, then beats Unavaatu (I'm ignoring the retardation of Jinora knowing how to find Raava better than fucking Korra). Loses to Kuvira ex machina, beats Kuvira.
It's nothing new in stories for the hero to struggle and eventually overcome obstacles. Korra just got more criticism for it because she wasn't muh fun loving, all powerful Aang, who most definitely never spent episodes angsting or did retarded shit that drove the viewers insane.
>>1980095
I feel like Korra suffers from the fact that every single season except the last ends with Korra being crippled and somebody else more or less saving the day, albiet mostly by helping korra, so she ends up looking kinda weak.
>>1980007
>Didn't they show Korra using the Avatar state while she was attacking to Colossus?
She uses it for her first big attack when they use the Hoth trick on the Colossus legs, But Only at the beginning. Her only sustained use of it beyond a flash is when using her air funnels to fly away from the spirit cannon blasts.
>>1980135
The first season's ending unforgivably bad. I really cannot understand what they were thinking beyond "oh shit, we have only one episode to wrap everything up!" Season two would have been fine but they stupidly decided that we needed "payoff" for Jinora's spiritual awakening throughout the season when we already got it when Jinora helped Korra go to the Spirit World. They created a rod for their own backs there. What happened to her in season three was justified, and only feels bad because of the shit that happened in the first two season finales where they prioritised other characters (who are incidentally two of the show's most hated characters) ahead of the damn protagonist. And that's why she feels weak.
