Well then. My hunch was right. She just left and she went in for a kiss as she was leaving. Damn. She said we should hang out again. I'm torn. First off I had a really good time. She loves Korra and it was fun watching it with a fellow fan. Also she plays games and was really good at Smash. But the best thing is that it was nice to be able to talk to someone about this cancer and treatment since she's going through the same thing. We talked quite a bit about it. But I wasn't going into this for that reason.
Ah well. I think I'm just going to go for it. Person I liked won't ever like me so I should just move on. So I think I'm going to move on. Wish me luck guys! I guess either way I got some more support for this. I've been super lucky this past week. I really needed a break for a year and now I'm getting it.
People like Asami because I. She had a likable personality II. She had an interesring backstory with her mom being killed. III. She had an interesring plot when her dad decided to join the equalist movement and she had to go against her father IV. Her story had potential with her business being blacklisted because her fathers actions (her name was disgraced), she had no family anymore and her group of friends were conflicting because of what happened with Korra and Mako.
Book 1 wasn't very good with the character aspect in terms of making them interssting and giving them depth. So Asami came out it looking the best alongside Tenzin and Lin. However the writers have continually failed her character by pushing her to the side and throwing away her potential plot. It's telling that Asami had the best story out of the side charcters going into Book 2 and yet had almost zero screen time except being Makos booty call.
You have a point about her actual design maybe not being unique. But I still think she stood out the strongest in Book 1. Best I can say now is that at least they haven't made her worse as the show has gone on? I still think she's very likable. But she really has no plot anymore. And she's been kind of reduced to a perfect support charcter that always provides them with money and the right weapons/vehicles (that in itself isn't bad, but there is nothing to it and it kind of comes off..in a cheap way).
I still personally like her. But I totally see your criticisms. I would say a chaarcter like Bolin has a much more distinct personality...and yet I've hated how they used it in Book 2 and 3 (well just me persobally. I see a lot of people say Bolin has been great every season).
Though it does seem like a lunatic in charge (with a plan) is probably the best for the Earth Kingdom. They don't seem to dislike her over there if there buying T-shirts of her willingly.

Hey now those are totally happy camps for some simple Re-kuviracation.
We all know that Kuvira the Uniter knows whats best for the Earth Kingdom right now.

Edit: sorry for the off topic talk.
Personally like her. But I agree. Not a fan of the evil visual cues and the dialogue. It comes off as like, the audience is dumb and needs to be told. Granted, kids do watch this show lol
The shipping IS real.
Do kids even watch Korra anymore? I can't imagine them going to nick.com every friday to watch. A few probably do but I imagine that most of the kids who watched Korra on TV don't even bother with the show anymore.
Well I can say my sisters are constantly talking about the show and Gravity Falls every time I talk with them. They're always hyped up for Korra on Friday.
I know she's totally evil, it's just that they have never portrayed an earth kingdom under actual decent rule on either show. The only part that was decent was when the Gaang power bombed the Dai Li to talk to the Earth King and even after that I do believe he eventually left to travel the world. Earth Kingdom just seems like it's so spread out and rife with chaos that it needs a little bit of an iron fist.

That old lady was old school. You could tell some of the younger generation gravitates towards Kuvira, while the older governor didn't want anything to do with her for example. Besides that woman contributed in some fashion to Bolin's DNA how intelligent could she really be.
It's pretty fascinating to see the writers actually going into a subject like start of fascism. Need for a unifying leader in a chaotic state, people like Bolin joining because they see more good than harm, the opposing power (the Prince) doing nothing for the people. Then you have the international community not wanting to do anything forceful about it (which makes sense, no one would like starting a war with the biggest nation on the planet.)
Anybody ever wonder if Wu wasn't the only potential candidate? That Raiko and the United Republic chose Wu because he was an idiot and easily manipulated. Because if they chose Wu over somebody more qualified they sort of brought this scenario all on themselves because they wanted to head a puppet regime.
Toph said Korra was afraid that she would be put back in a situation where she'd be in great danger, which is probably why she can't get over her PTSD? Korra seems eager to get back in shape and protect the world.... So if Toph is right, does that mean Korra wanting to get back in shape to be the avatar again was kind of her lying to herself or something?
I have a feeling that Toph won't leave the swamp until the final battle. One thing though: Would a constant earthquake mess up Toph's seismic sense? Can she still see you if everything is shaking?

The last episode was ok. I just thought Kuvira's speech felt a little too upfront, but I guess they want to move it along at a bit of quicker pace since we only have 13 episodes.
So after taking my sweet time to watch the episode, in general terms I can say this one probably foreshadows many of the developments to mid or end season.
First of all, the somewhat predictable turn of events between Kuvira and Wu happened a little faster than I thought, and of course that brought the rift in opinions between Mako and Bolin. But the most shocking thing was that Su was still in power in Zaofu, and that Kuvira just split off with her faction. I suppose the action will shift focus to that confrontation
as we saw in those scenes in the trailer, with Suyin losing power and incarcerated
. And we also got a sighting of the Fire Lord, although I don´t think she will be relevant unless we get an expansionist Kuvira attacking the United Republic. Neverless, I still want to get a glimpse of the Fire Nation.
Toph is still Toph, enough said. Best character still, but it was somewhat jarring to have basically a young wrinkled Beifong with same clothes and all of that. But as people have said, maybe she regressed because of her lack of responsabilities, as good or bad it sounds by its implications. That plot point about Korra and her remaining mercury poisoning is obviously for her mental growth and an explanation for her current situation, and Toph was very upfront about her issues with Korra's attitude, in her usual manner.
And because this post is becoming somewhat of a rant, I just want to say that Varrick's research on spirit branches - as energy or weapons - may be the reason for a confrontation between spirits and humans. I think Bryke hinted at it in a interview somewhere, and I believe will play part on the season finale.
nice
