Reiko's probably bitching about his new office being right next to the spirit portal, either that or his poll numbers.
You can either learn from your mistakes, or keep making the same ones. She chose to keep making the same ones till it got the city she built herself invaded. Yeah it's a flaw, but that is one costly flaw.
Because somebody had to ask why there's a "Fuck Su" cycle we wind up back in that cycle. It's easy to like her, but at the same time really easy to hate her.
I wouldn't call it garbage more flawed. Leave calling stuff garbage for the shows that truly deserve that term. The Following would be a good example.
It's quite fascinating at just how bad that show gets.
Would've loved to see the reaction from President Raiko at seeing the new state of the city. Boy did the Republic City take some hits under his leadership ha. From getting attacking by a giant Dark Avatar, large section made uninhabitable by the vines and then Kuvira giving the city a special little redecoration while there.
No wonder he seems stressed.
I have siblings. Su just seems like the most self aggrandizing pain in the ass to deal with so I can see why Lin was just like, "Fuck these people" for 30 years. It wasn't the right decision either, but Su and Toph require a good amount of patience to deal with.

You mean to tell me this person eventually grew up to make right decisions.
After a half hour you get to split up and go back to your wife. Su changed some what I'll agree, but she's still a rather selfish and short sighted person in her older age, that part just never changed. Lin had some parts of herself that were completely the same during her flashback as well. Su's also just really controlling. Even when she finally made up with Lin at the end she started trying to plan out Lin's role as Aunt to her kids before Lin reigned her ass in immediately.
Not only did she try to kill Kuvira, she tried to kill Kuvira in her fucking pajamas, that's some cowardice bullshit.
This is a supposed good guy character taking her twin sons out with her on an assassination hit. That's some book Dexter shit. The transition from "she's like daughter to me" to "kill this bitch!" transition is something that should've been at the forefront because no parent wants to kill offspring, even if she isn't by blood, she's known Kuvira about as long as she's known Opal, if not longer.
Much love.
Yeah this is true. She just never tries to ask for anybody to reason with her. She ordered Korra to go into the avatar state and flatten her several times. She essentially just asks for Kuvira's head on a pike several times within the first 6? episodes that season. Granted yeah probably within 3 years she probably tried as well to negotiate I would assume, but yeah I guess that 3 year jump really did give them an excuse not to develop certain aspects of that story.
It really is painful because I think the scene where Su really casts Kuvira out would be a powerful one. I also don't think Kuvira hates Su, but Su most likely does hate Kuvira. Just the tones and the language she uses with her shows it Kuvira is really disappointed with Su though since kuvira looked up to her.
This is true. I always look at Kuvira as book 2 Korra. Korra without a mentor is a fucking disaster, but at the end Korra pulled her shit together and started listening to Tenzin again. Su is Kuvira's Tenzin, but it just didn't work out with those two. Kuvira needed a mentor figure patient enough and willing to help her. She had Su. Su isn't really a God mentor and Kuvira is just a bit too damaged to know when she's gone too far. She was trying to over compensate for too much mental damage.
He murdered a fuck ton of people and incited...yeah never mind I was going to try disputing those similarities but it would not have worked there are a good amount. Hitler united his people and yep...massive body count. Ugh Why did they have to make her Hitler/Stalin/Mao.
Bryan ffs get on dat Korvira train! All joking aside that's very sweet.
This is why I don't ship Lin with Korra. Korra would just cheat at their friendly competition games. Kuvira might be evil, but at least she's god damn honest.
Frieza's "Thriller" motif looks hilarious as fuck, good that they're having fun with the characters. When don't a portion of this thread hate on Su? Don't get me wrong none of the cast is perfect but god damn. The one that got along with Toph best is the same person that scarred Lin just as much as Toph herself.I'm starting to think they are having way too much fun with the new DBZ movie.
Also, are people shitting on Su, I found her annoying, which is funny considering she got along with Toph.
I think people forget that personalities traits that are endearing when younger suck as you get older. As seen with Toph.
Toph should've felt honored that Lin wanted to follow in her footsteps but she just seemed to admonish her for it. Lin's a very successful kid in her own right. She managed to take what Toph did and even innovate some of it as well. The fact that Toph never told Lin about her dad until fucking Bolin of all people, a stranger till that day to Toph asked about it. Lin had every right to be pissed off at Toph. Toph's parental advice just seems to be "big deal get over it." Lin didn't get over it, she wanted to cut her own mom out of her life and it took that happening to smack some sense into Toph.
Su's a woman that couldn't even use the mistakes from her past to relate to Kuvira. They have a fair amount in common and she couldn't even use those experiences to help guide her from doing fucked up shit.
I think it's a bit of both. Kuvira said she would come back on her own terms, pretty much I think she just manipulated the situation to make it appear that she did it by choice either that or she just left before Su got the chance to have her bodily thrown out. Their falling out was more private than public. If it was more public I don't think Kuvira would've left with that much backing from Zaofu supporters.
I think Su is just as good a mentor as Tenzin, the problem is that Kuvira was going against what Su believed in. Tenzin believed in Korra and they both were working towards the same things, but Korra's arrogance, impatience, and need to fight things made her choose Unalaq over Tenzin. Tenzin took it hard, but didn't go overboard because he focused on his family instead, which was necessary to him.
I'm pretty sure Toriyama just wants to make DBZ a musical series at this point. Dragonball M.I'm starting to think they are having way too much fun with the new DBZ movie.
Su really doesn't seem like the type of person that would sit down and explain her reasoning. This is a bit of a meme for a reason and it's not just related to conquering the earth kingdom either:
Kuvira probably actually had relevant ideas on running Zaofu better as well, but Su probably just shot them down just because. Korra and Tenzin have something that Kuvira and Su lack and that's mutual respect for each other. Tenzin doesn't just few Korra as a puppet or some dog, he views her as Korra, the Avatar. Su probably just thinks of Kuvira as that orphan she rescued and probably never even bothered to realize that she's actually grown up to be a fairly capable person. Her earth kingdom conquering moment is probably just her going "I'm just like you, please notice and love me please." She definitely took that shit too far though and she should be punished for the damage she did, but Su never noticed that a woman with her past is probably going to wind up doing some fucked up shit if you don't keep an eye on her and guide her. Su never even apologizes for never really being there for her when she grew up. Because let's face it Suyin probably actually is Kuvira's mother figure, Su just never bothered to realize that she would have that effect on her.
I will always love this one:The true eyebrow champion
