Kuvira has always had good fan art, even the weird shit is pretty good.
Ee---yeah, I dunno about that. That's between you and DreamyDrop.

I second this, and start from the very beginning, every part is essential viewing.Everyone watch Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, that way Korra can be the stealth Jojo thread

I'm sorry, but I don't think you're reading my posts. Yes, more time is exactly what it needed, it doesn't matter if it's in the same vain as the ones we already have because those moments were good and they worked, the problem is the amount we were given barely quantifies as a handful.I'm afraid I'm still not getting you then. What more would you have liked to see to find the relationship convincing? Or did you simply want more time focused on them? In which case it likely would have been more of the same ambiguous buddy-buddy at face value stuff they've shown already.
And calling it a double standard really doesn't fly. That implies that straight and same-sex relationships are treated equally, which, in today's world, is unfortunately not the case. If I were to say, for example, that Korra and Opal together would have been dull and called Korra and Asami exciting and progressive, then we'd have a hell of a double standard.
It's been since Friday and I'm still crying. What do I do
For the people not interested in weird fan fic and animated relationships, what do we watch now?
Do one better and explore the world of lesbian porn.Watch it again.
I get the feeling I would like the ending more if I cared about the characters who are in the relationship.
Asami and Korra are both some of the most mishandled characters I have ever seen.
Looking back I'm so proud of Bolin. Not a single cringeworthy moment from him during the finale. I was afraid he was gonna pull another sock moment with Kuvira but nope. Kept being awesome

Damn good show. This clip is what got me interested in the first place.
Ironically the Justice League barely does anything in the show. But to be fair it is about the sidekicks.
"Hey Korra you wanna hear Guru Laghima's preferred method to hitting the G spot?"
So from the time since ATLA ended... GAF never had an Avatar community OT?
Guru laghima and his boy Zaheer fucking up yo ship!Guru Laghima would have never approved of such a ship. Zaheer would be on standby and shout out Laghima quotes any time Korra and Asami were 5 feet near each other.

Hm, what would you have done with them?
Looking forward to a community rewatch, if we're having one.
Just started Young Justice and within the first minute Mr. Freeze ices a dad and his kids.
I'm reading your posts, I'm just having a hard time following. I want to understand you.I'm sorry, but I don't think you're reading my posts.

And the equality, or rather, the lack there of in real world hetero and homo relationships has no bearing on this conversation because I'm talking about quality of writing. It doesn't get a break from its poor execution because it's about a bi/lesbian couple, if it does then, yes, it's a double standard.
Good start, no?Just started Young Justice and within the first minute Mr. Freeze ices a dad and his kids.
Being an Avatar definitely doesn't hurt your chances with the ladies.
You cannot stop me
Yes, and Batman made damn sure that Robin prepared for...almost everything.Good start, no?

Mako is fine where he is. He needed to figure out who he was without using a romantic partner as a crutch. Wu isn't going to be king so he's not going to be a bodyguard.
He's going to go back to being a detective because that's what he wanted to do in the first place.
keep it up please
He's on the road to end up like his boss - aging, single and bitter.
That's when he discovers he is actually a time bender and travels around in a phone boxHe's on the road to end up like his boss - aging, single and bitter.
Mako is the reincarnation of every person severely friendzoned by an Avatar. It's its own separate reincarnation cycle. He'll die when Korra dies for the cycle to renew again.That's when he discovers he is actually a time bender and travels around in a phone box
The only good breakdown was KuvirasSo um....that ending was....
Damn. I waited 2 days for that? At least I had smash to play with friends but wow. I mean I sort of got korrasami but....wow. That was nowhere near as intense with god awful cgi all over the place.
...at least I got korrasami. Sort of. Wait I already said that.
Ok, I want some good breakdowns. Where are the good posts I missed?
I'm reading your posts, I'm just having a hard time following. I want to understand you.
I don't see the point of doing more of the same of what we've already been shown. If I had taken their interactions the way you did outright, then I would have found it tiresome to see them go on and on with that when the precious little time the show had could be used for more plot-important things. Not to mention that, for those like me who did not see it coming, if they had ramped up the amount of interactions between Korra and Asami throughout the show, they'd run the risk of cluing us in too early, thus ruining the surprise.
As for the double standard...I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree. The argument hinges on whether or not it was poorly executed. You think it was. I thought it was fine. And I would have felt the same way if it were a male character in Asami's place. Underwhelmed by the outcome honestly, but the same about the execution.

Go to the OT1 and start reading from page 349.
Exactly the same here. I tried to play some Dragon Age this weekend, but nope. I've just been rewatching the last scene and talking about the show.
my thoughts are all over the place. i don't view the legend of korra as being over, but rather the entire series of avatar: the last airbender. i doubt nickelodeon will ever back a project like this again. it's not just 2.5 years of a show i've been following and mostly liked coming to an end, it's about six years of a series coming to a close, one that surpassed all expectations i had since i first heard about it even in the years before that. for some, i realize this is the end of almost a decade of a series. i'm sure there are people out there who post here and actually grew up with this show, starting from aang's age in the first episode of avatar (minus a hundred years) and ending at korra's in the finale.
i really love avatar: the last airbender. it's a great action-adventure series with a lot of attention to detail, wonderful characters, and inventive fight scenes and interactions. i also like the legend of korra, not as much as avatar: the last airbender, but definitely quite a bit. i think korra is a little more pick-up-and-play while avatar is built more for marathons. it's a rougher show with worse writing and poor pacing. but i feel there are a couple of things it does that surpasses avatar: the last airbender.
1. the music. good god the music is fucking incredible in this show. it's good in the last airbender too, but when i first heard 'the rally' in korra, i knew things had kicked up a notch. it's so much more beautiful and carries more weight than really anything in avatar (and i know the response to this suggestion and yes, i really do mean anything). i think it gives the show its identity more than the 1920s/1930s aesthetics do.
2. the art style. i might be alone on this, and i can respect that a lot of people enjoy the look of avatar: the last airbender, but for me it was a barrier. i didn't watch the show because it looked like teen titans, jackie chan adventures, and other 'american cartoons trying to be anime.' i didn't realize just how much effort had been put into it until i decided to watch it, but i came to enjoy it as time went on, especially with the slapstick that would come along with it. with korra though, i was always on board. it sort of allowed for less physical comedy, but i was okay with that. the show proved it could be funny regardless with some fun facial expressions and well, varrick.
3. antagonist motivation. amon and zaheer both had really interesting motives to do what they did. more than that, both questioned the need for an avatar in a modern world. to me, that's more exciting than bad guy wants to take over, which was admittedly half of korra, but it was all of avatar: the last airbender. even kuvira believed, to an extreme fault, that she was doing what she felt was best, so that she could protect people she cared about. this was different from ozai's plot to take over the world because he was a fucking nutjob. being an action show, these conflicts (especially in seasons 1 and 3) provided interesting interactions between ideologies. there really isn't any in avatar, except for zuko, i guess. i don't think avatar: the last airbender needed this, and surely the legend of korra rarely delves deep for this (season 1 is almost never mentioned ever again), but simply having these motivations made it a lot more fun to watch these characters whenever they were on screen.
i also kind of like korra better than aang, especially at the end. she comes from a place of strength and eventually learns compassion as the answer. aang comes from a place of compassion and as to find overwhelming strength to defeat his greatest foes. to me, his ultimate solution was boring. korra's on the other hand, aside from the first season, was born from her learning how to work with others, and how to inspire others. she's saved by jinora, the airbenders she recruits, and eventually talks kuvira down at the end of their final conflict. unlike some people, i felt like korra really did develop and respond realistically from season to season. it felt logical and normal to me that she 'regressed' in season 2's opening considering her attitude in season 1, and it felt like her final moments in season 4 had more weight after all she'd been through.
regarding the finale itself, i feel like i need another post to gather my thoughts.
Korrasami is literally unbelievable. I'm struggling to grasp that it actually happened. I fucking love it.I'm still having trouble processing the finale and I don't know why.
