RETAKE THE LOK ENDING!!!!



The Makorra subplot shallowed out all of Korra's character development  during the last 5 minutes of the finale.  Yes it was worst then the last 5 minutes of Mass Effect because atleast there I can pick destroy.  

This is just... uhg...  

Asami and Tarrlock/Amon's plots were great though.  I just can't get over Korra's character being massacred though.

Asami is going to do something next season, i can feel it.

I hope that "something" is "get together with Bolin".

I agree, Bolin deserves some justice after what Mako did with Korra. Poor bugger was heartbroken.

Asami gets with Bolin. Mako then realises he has made a mistake. Asami has shown her loyalty and that is a trait to be cherished.

Bolin and Asami... Um, NO, please no.

That would be too much of a pity relationship.

I don't even want Mako to realize he made a mistake if Asami and Bolin were to get together. He'd be even more of a douchebag if he kept moving back and forth between the two ladies.

I don't see it.

Mako does not deserve any of them.

Just like Korra getting with Bolin. They would both be born out of pity. The only way I can see them "redeeming" Korra's development would be to have the next season be some time later and with an entirely new cast of characters to surround herself with. If everything is about different time periods and different events, it's the best way to make it still feel organic.

You don't think their confession of "love" takes away from her already rushed unlocking of her spiritual side and puts her back to being "I'm just an emotional teenager with crazy hormones who's in love with a dick who won't even admit to everything he's done wrong to his brother and Asami, oh and I'm the avatar!"  

[Seagloom]

The entire prelude to their kiss felt false. Korra told Mako to get lost after his confession. Telling someone to ****** off when you're hurting after they confess their feelings is pretty messed up. It made her declaration of love afterward come off as false.

But eh, honestly that subplot was handled so badly from start to finish I kinda need to block it out. I would've preferred it if she stayed single. I totally enjoyed the ending in spite of that; not because of it.

That worst part of their prelude to a kiss was how false it felt. Korra told Mako to get lost minutes before realizing her full potential and declaring her love. Telling someone to ****** off when you're hurting after they confess their feelings is pretty messed up.

But eh, honestly the way relationships were handled is easily the worst part of LoK. I would've preferred it if she stayed single.

 

Same, the love triangles were just there to be there and really robbed from the rest of the series and I felt it really robbed from her "strong and independant" character that Mako "loves" so much.  (That's why he must dote on her and tag along with her whereever she goes for her safety) 

I guess that's better then telling her to stay put and let him take care of it.  Poor Asami...

Also, Asami get's totally betrayed by her dad and then gets unceremoniously dumped? The writers really hate that chick!

You know, all the **** that Asami has to put up with makes me admire her. Hell, you know what? It should be Korra x Asami, not Korra x Mako.

I LIKE THE WAY YOU THINK. =D

 

I've been shipping Korrasami ever since what I call the "Asami" episode and Korra become friends with Asami after taking a spin in her "b1tch" seat.   There was potential there for sure and it's easy to convince yourself that Asami has feelings for Korra that could go beyond friendship... but ehh.  nickolodean would never let it happen.  Cartoon Network doesn't even let sugerlessgum happen. <_<  Unless they decide to make Korra the next Degrassi (which it might as well be with its pointless love plots)

I think the series and the many of the subplots were handled poorly. This season was only 12 episodes long the whole Mako/Korra love entaglement felt false and I saw it coming from a mile away. Korra falling for Mako just felt way too rushed. If you look back at the original Series with Aang and Katara it took them an entire season and a half for Aang to realize he even had feelings for Katara and it took Katara even longer to realize she had feelings for Aang. Hell Katara didn't even fully realize her feelings for Aang until the very final episodes.

The whole blood bending during the daytime though interesting was handled poorly and not explained well enough and many things were broken.

Sure the first season of this new avatar series is okay but it just feels rushed and lacks the time needed to flesh everything out. In fact it feels very much like ME3 or DA2 to compare it to something.

Yes the ending was happy which was nice with the police chief getting her bending back. However using blood bending to take away a bender's powers seems quite far fetched. It was stated back in Last Airbender that to take away someone's bending was the bending of energy itself not the bending of blood.

They even explained it quite well during Aang's time. Now it's just "Oh I'm a blood bender and I can take away powers through the use of blood bending" which is a load of crap.

So yeah... they really dropped the ball in several areas for this series. I hope they somehow recover for the next season and actually explain some stuff.

As for the Korra/Asami possible love thing, I saw potential for it but knowing writers they pretty much won't put any GLBT stuff in their children's tv shows. Look at all the kiddy shows they always ship het romances. Every single freaking cartoon made in america is always het romances. No GLBT anywhere. As much as I like Last Airbender and I like Korra series it's hard to give them kudos for doing something original when they still just always put in a het romance in everything these days.

While I agree the love triangle plot was ridiculously bad, I do not think think AtLA's handling of Aang and Katara is a model to follow. Their relationship had barely any development throughout the series. Basically Aang just started crushing on Katara after a few episodes. Then there is that brief bit in the cave of two lovers. Then nothing until the Day of Black Sun when he kisses her. She gave no suggestion of romantic interest in Aang afterwards until the final minutes of the series finale.

Korra and Mako's relationship may have been crap, but at least it was present. XD It's telling that some fans still think Katara had more chemistry with Zuko than Aang.

I didn't see any potential in a Korra/Asami pairing. I mean, aside from the obvious deterrent of any same-sex romance turning the progam into a political lightning rod where everything else would be ignored in light of that, Korra and Asami were cordial to each other at best. The two barely interacted despite sharing so many scenes together. It always tied back into either the current plot or Mako. Come to think of it, it's a stretch to consider they were even close friends.

Well there is 
 Marceline/Bubblegum in Adventuretime... but when Cartoon Network realized that the devs put lesbian subtext in their show there was backlash and someone ended up getting fired for it. 

One of the storyboard artists draws the couple on her tumblr all the time though. 

[android654]

The parallels are worth mentioning.While Mako, like Kitara was the more mature and competent sibling, both their brothers being complete clowns. However Aang and Korra are complete opposites of one another. Yes Aang was playful and precocious, but he was also really moody and had a lot of angst about his station in the world and where he fit in. Korra on the other hand has always been confident and headstrong. She didn't need to be observed as the Avatar in order to have a place in the world, she would simply go out and take it. That need that Aang had to align himself with someone stronger, older, more competent and protective was a need he genuinely had. Korra has no use for any of those traits in a partner, so her being drawn to Mako on a character level is weak and poorly done. In fact none of the characters introduced would've made a good fit for her. For it to work on paper she would need someone who is her equal and provides a challenge that she would've enjoyed pursuing. Not some guy who's dying to find a way to come to the rescue of goddess of a girlfriend.

Wait aren't Spongebob, Squidward, Bert and Ernie gay?

[RedArmyShogun]

Hmm strange days android. I agree on that point.

Mako is what I like to call the...twilight effect. He was picked for that as girls as of late go banana's over that sort of guy. Korra would be best matched with another poweful bender that somehow was her equal. And someone competitive, but maybe detached, so Korra would be the one pursuing.

But Alas LoK is victim to a staff that really doesn't even want to do the project, and rushed writing.

Also no on Spongebob and Patrick. Thats just silly talk from Westboro baptist.

As to the puppets, idk.

Spongebob is asexual supposedly.

What the hell is going on here?

[Seagloom]

Bert and Ernie are best friends and roommates. That was basically the response when some folks were lobbying for them to get married.

[C9316]

Oh this ending was way better than ME3's crap, but it's far from perfect. I do agree that Korra and Mako's romance was handled very badly, it's even worse because like someone mentioned Asami gave up nearly her entire life for him. I'd rather him still be with Asami at least then he wouldn't be such a huge douche in my eyes. It also irked me that Yakone and Amon's ability to bloodbend without a full moon was never fully explained, were they special waterbenders or something. As for the using bloodbending to take away someone's bending I would've preferred it to be a highly advanced form of chi-blocking far more believable that way. Everything else I just loved, Aang returning to restore Korra's bending was especially epic and the way Tarrlok ended the tragic path Yakone put him and Noatok on.
