Asami and Korra are extremely well established as close friends. Close friends deciding to try a romantic relationship is extremely believable and rarely needs much more justification. The reason for the disconnect is because they are a same sex friendship. If the asami character was male you would accept the hints so far. Wanting the writers to first justify/hint/explain that they are gay/lesbian/bi/queer before revealing the romantic relationship is... well I'll just say that I don't think that justification is needed. It's not a lust/love at first sight relationship.
Korra is like 5'7".
Asami is taller than her so she's like 5'10".
Hmm... I thought Korra was like 5'10"
but still Gina is only 5'3"

Korrasami was not supposed to be a thing from the get go.
Korra and Asami were antangostic before they became team Avatar midway in S1 after that they were friends. They are "supposed in love with each other" at the very end, the last scene of S4. Not sure what the problem is, ffs Korra and Asami were much closer friends compared to 'married' Eska and Bolin
Korra has a very similar build and stature to a cousin of mine who's 5"4. 5"7 and above seems a little bit high for Korra, she looks so short.
Asami at 5"10 I can sort of believe, but she's no Stacy Keibler, who stands at 5"11, so I'd remove a couple of inches for Asami.

They've done this ending twice before already: in the finale of ATLA and in the last episode LoK S1 which was assumed at that time to be the last episode. Even in the 'penultimate' ATLA episode (i.e. The Ember Island Players, before the 4 part season finale, Sozin's comet) Aang and Kataara still didn't know if their friendship would turn into a romantic relationship. The kiss at the end was a 'sudden' new beginning as well. New beginnings often 'suddenly' happen after winning a big battle... There's a pattern there. Nothing wrong with introducing a new relationship in a finale imo.I'd like to believe that I'd be infuriated over any pairing of Korra, if we take the miyazaki quote of "a boy and a girl onscreen don't have to be in a romance" and extend it to remove the gender binary to "if we take two people onscreen they don't have to be in a romance" I'd be quite happy.
And we all know it's not a lust/love at first sight, but any person who develops feelings for another person must eventually make the emotional leap of faith to realize you're more than friends.
I (and hopefully others) feel that having what seemed like a "sudden" beginning at the very end was a poor choice simply because many of us felt there wasn't enough of a thread to follow to the end.
The conclusion should be about wrapping up the various story threads, and finale wraps up most of the various threads to varying degrees of success and failure. the Korrasami thread is one of them and I thought it was a failed wrap up, I don't think it's unfair to have wanted it to be longer/more developed "thread" so to speak. It felt more like a new thread rather than the conclusion of an existing one.

Su opted to chill out in Zaofu as people in Republic City asked to help bring peace to the Earth Kingdom. There was really no logical excuse she gave either just said no. This provoked Kuvira to do what she did. Many people have been pretty critical of her nonchalant behavior towards it. I would've been fine with her not doing it personally if she sent a couple of experienced advisers to oversee Kuvira and aid her in quelling the bandits half the crap she did probably would not have happened, but nope she just disowned her and tried to absolve herself of the whole situation while being critical of it as well.So, wait, why are people saying the whole Kuvira thing is Su's fault? Or is that a joke I'm not getting?
A person is never too late to take a shit on Book 2.Am I too late to join in on the book 2 shaming?![]()
Mako got teamzoned so hard
Bryan said she was 5'7". She's around a lot of tall people so she seems shorter than that.
So on a Talk No Jutsu scale of 1-10 where did Korra and Kuvira end up?

Su essentially put herself in prison if you really want to think about it. The fact that Kuvira kept her together with her family and opted to not have them routinely tortured proves how nice she was.I blame Su for everything that went down in season 4.
With aang and katara though we have a lot more time to seed the idea of their romance from more obvious signs of romance like aangs season 1 crush to indications during season 2s ending where Katara saves aang from the ancient ba sing se underground and smaller moments like when aang finally wakes up in season 3.
Korrasami lacked enough cumulative screentime together during season 3 and 4 where Bryke actually tried to cultivate a bond between them which is the common complaint. Perhaps a longer episode format would help.
Their time together in season 3 was REALLY good in my opinion. But it was also basically the first time korra and asami spent any significant time together to start with since seasons 1 and 2, they were sort of rivals (asami was never supremely possessive of Mako and was remarkably understanding of being turned down) but still allies against the equalists and Unalock/Varrick.
The time in season 4 was sadly misspent in all sorts of areas which very much includes the korrasami relationship.
More interesting than what we got.I remember those theories going around that Kuvira was Zaheer and P'Li's child.
That was wild.

Fun times. Don't forget also when everyone started thinking Suyin was part of Red Lotus.
I really like that theory as well. It definitely ties her to Su better and would pretty much give Su a really good reason why she wouldn't legitimize her or at the very least be far too afraid to legitimize her since it would put her own nuclear family in jeopardy, would also make her like Toph.I thought the theory was that she was Su's and Zaheer's kid?
Lol Kuvira will get her back story filled out on her fucking tombstone.Kuvira is still pretty much a blank slate.
Fanfic time.
Suyin Bei Long, the karma bender who never pays for her mistakes.
Ha ha man was that fun especially.
Su also tried to murder her using her twin sons as accomplices. I would've preferred a "Su you fucking bitch" type response over her usual stoicism.Well. Kuvira did try to murder her son with a giant energy beam...and her, and her sister, and the avatar, and blopal, and....
Korra and Asami had a bond from S1... aang and katara were allowed very explicit foreshadowing e.g. almost kiss in 'The Cave of Two Lovers episode'. That type of overt physical comedy/dramatic romance of Aang+Kataara, Vaarick+Zhuli, Bolin+Eska etc is not allowed for same-sex couples on Nick. Instead Bryke had to show the the bond in other ways. The bond between Asami and Korra is very obvious by the final battle:
Now Book 4 is worse than Book 2 I've heard it all.
I think I have a problem. I have a korrasami folder on my computer with like 70 images
Didn't say that but it was really awful. Kuvira is wasted potential, the whole toph plot led nowhere really, the finale was trash, whatever happened to the spirits? There where no big character moments like there was in book 3 of last airbender and the finale only gave the spotlight to bolin and mako. Kai and jinora do nothing or are gone.
At least meelo and ikki had their moment.
But book 4 was awful. Zaheer and crew should have been endgame.
Jinora did nothing but get captured again. I don't even hate her character, but sometimes it doesn't feel like she earned her tattoos. She knows that spirit stuff and helped Korra take down Zaheer, but you would think she would captured again. And yeah I would've liked seeing her and Kai interact once before the series ended since I like Kai. I thought he turned his shit around pretty well at the end of last season and turned into a nice young man after blasting off into puberty.Didn't say that but it was really awful.

I wasn't even shipping anyone for the first 2.5 sesons, but I caught all of those references in that wiki and was like .... there's something going on there for sure.
It was basically obvious by the beginning of season 3.

Sorry for the constant Mako ribbing, this shit is just too hilarious.
