There's no romance in Naruto. Or most shonens. There's just shipping fodder that will never be expanded upon.

Edit: I agree with you that it was also weak that Asami wasn't angry again after Mako didn't tell Korra him and Asami were dating again. I can't tell if she was mad since they didn't address it. Kind of dont think they will. But your points are valid. Any romance will be bad at this point since that won't be addressed. I still think Mako and Asami would be the least worse though given what has been already done.
But you make a good point why it would be awful (that Makos shitty treatment of Asami was never dealt with).

I thought he was OK in book 2, I mean korra was shit to him, they broke up, so him and Asami rekindled their lingering feelings for each other.
Problem is, Mako cheated on Asami and left her for her friend. Asami never reacted to this. She was never hurt or angry. The second her Ex is single she jumps at the opportunity to date him again. They start dating but then Korra doesn't remember them breaking up and Mako doesn't have the balls to tell her. Thus Asami was treated poorly again by the same guy.
So yeah he has a point that Asami never having an issue with Makos behavior is weird. But I feel like they've already swept it under the rug so it's not going to be a factor. It sucks, but it's how they dealt with it. I do think he's right in that any romantic pairing will be bad at this point. Mako and Asami would be bad for all the reasons he said above. I guess I just think they make the most sense though going into a final 13 episode stretch. They have the most to actually work with.
Asami has the best expressions (SPOILER, from the first 2 minutes of the premiere via IGN):

All of this is a sign that Korrasami was bound to happen.

I wonder how they'll reintegrate Korra post-timeskip. Will our perspective be entirely with the rest of the crew until Korra shows up unannounced in a time of crisis, with flashbacks coming after that point? Or will it juggle between the two perspectives the entire time? It seems like she's been gone so long that it would take a big reason to come back, unless her recovery just coincidentally ends after three years.

That looks like a baby, I hope his name is Momo
I've always liked Asami. In fact she was my favorite character in Book 1. When I got my art book signed by Bryke they asked what drawing I wanted and I asked for Azula and Asami.
Obviously not have been happy with how they've used her though. Which sucks because I think coming out of Book 1 she had the most compelling story to progress her character.
I still have your post on Asami as a female character saved. Always bust it out when people talk about the bad writing on this show with the characters.
You should just take this Avatar and get rid of the wrestler. I'll gladly have no Avatar if it meant Satch had a Godsami avatar

You're right. I wonder how they'll handle the relationships (platonic) between the characters during and after the time skip. Looks like it was just Mako and Asami in Republic City....
...might get lonely...

I noticed how different Prince Woo (or whatever his name is) looked but I liked it.

opening scene with asami happens. sometime shortly after, the prince is attacked. mako and asami try to protect him. korra shows up. they go on train chase or whatever. this gets resolved somehow. then everyone chit chats. korra tells the story of her pilgrimage in flashbacks, then the show goes on.

Where are these screencaps
Behold. Can't link directly to the screenshots, but I think this link works. If not, just go to www.Avatarspirit.net and find them on their post about the Book 4 trailer.
Beware, a lot of those screencaps have spoilers if you look closely, and give us a good idea about the overall basics of the plot.
After I analyzed some of them, theres only about 3 or 4 episodes in that trailer, guessing by the sequences.

Yes you are right. Bolin looks quite odd. I barely even recognize him.

Har har.
Book 4 trailer now past 4 million views, btw. At this pace, with still three days until the premier, it will reach 5 million before that, and possibly go on to settle at 6.

His dota ones were all using old models. I'm surprised he got the short hair Korra.

I haven't caught up with Korra since finishing up season 1. I'll catch up this week though.
Without spoiling anything, has she gained lots of character development since Book 1? I remember feeling like she needed a lot of growing up to do as the avatar.

Skip season 2. It's a clusterfuck. Just go with 3 and you'll be ok.

Modesty becomes a woman
Dont say this shit, the Wan episodes are great, and you cant watch them without the crappy framing of the rest of the season/
A bit of yes and no as Korra as a character regresses quite a bit in Book 2 but thankfully she's a much better character in Book 3 and 4 looks to continue that.
Come on now Book 2 still has some pretty decent episodes despite its many issues and the second half is a definite improvement after the first half.

It is a bit difficult to watch season 3 without watching season 2, so you should probably just power through it.

Thanks guys. Season 2 is that bad, huh? I'll still truck through it just for story's sake.
I shouldn't have done this, but I went ahead and watched the book 4 trailer out of morbid curiosity (I won't spoil anything else) and I have to say, Korra looks way more serious compared to book 1. If she doesn't seem to grow up to the point of the events beginning on book 4, then i'll be disappointed. I was hoping all the shit she went through in the past 2 seasons would straighten her up some.

It's not that bad, don't let the haters on GAF put you off it. It has a lot of problems but people here act like it's the worst thing ever. Nowhere else seems to have quite the same hate boner for it.

I have just watched the trailer.
Yeah, Kuveira is evil who would have thought besides everyone lol.
i think as a one-time go it's not that bad. i generally enjoyed it, and really loved the middle episodes (they're very obviously the middle episodes). my only issues have to come with the ending and how actually crazy it gets in the last ten minutes or so.
at least it's not actively bad like young justice.

OK trailer talk
It should exclude a flashback because we need to see her at her current age.
Short hair Korra>>>>>>long hair Korra
Either Asami´s father got out of jail, or Kuvira took over his plant. If they want to go really dark, then Asami would join her
3 years time skip is unexpected to me, but looks great.

Yep short hair Korra is best Korra.
Possible Future spoilers
Well the voice actor for Hiroshi Sato said in an AMA earlier this year that his character is coming back. He didn't show up in Book 3 so its safe to assume he'll be in Book 4 in some capacity.

You people honestly need to stop telling people to not watch book 2. Warn them about it or something, but at least tell them to give it a chance.
that was corny lol
Who is saying that. It would be crazy to miss 13 episodes of Avatar universe.
It isn't really vigilante, is it? I thought the Air Benders are supposed to be some international peace force and quite official. I see them a bit like Green Lanterns.
