It's been 3 years and it still sucks

It's been 3 years and it still sucks.

By the way, this is from the official comic

>tfw never watched tlok and never will

...

You know what's REALLY funny? Back in the day, immediately after Book One had finished airing, Korrasami was actually a popular pairing on Sup Forums, at least among Korra fans. Our reasoning at the time was that Mako and Korra were revolting as a couple after everything that happened in Book One, and Bolin was ruined as a character, so it was fun to do fanart and little stories pairing up Korra and Asami, simply because it seemed to be the only Krew pairing that wasn't awful.

Of course, then Book Four happened, and Bryke MADE it awful.

3 fucking years already? please no... i can't die like this.

Tell me Gurihiru's not wasting their skill on this shit

also I kinda hate how Korra is clearly the top and everyone is so open-minded.
Feels incredibly fanfic-y

>tfw they didn't have the balls to do this on screen
Looking back, the show would've been way better if it was all about Korra and Asami's relationship. Have them do s Dirty Pair thing, but with Kei and Yuri falling in love. They even have the tomboy and girly girl thing going on. It's right there, you hacks!

Nope, it's another artist who draws korra like a stick and gets triggered when they point it out. Because she's asian and a lesbian you see. She knows better
Unless they fired her, dunno

But Korra being the top goes against what KYHU and Owler taught me!

vocal minorities are also a thing
I remember during book 3, the korrasamifags were really annoying
the worst part is when creators submit to their loudest most obnoxious fans
it sends a message

>clearly the top

What the FUCK, Korra is a sub if I've ever seen one. You just know she likes being dominated by Asami.

It's gonna be so exciting reading it together with Sup Forums!

I know right?
Fuck this creative team!

This looks awful.

This is legit fanfic. I cannot take this seriously at all.

It's going to be like wading into the dead sea

>Bryke MADE it awful
This. I don't hate Korrasami, it could've been fucking glorious. But they weren't able to write it in a satisfying way. It seems it'll be the case with the comics too.

>everyone is so open-minded

Well she is the Avatar

They gotta deal with it

Korrasami was a mistake. Not praticualry the pairing itself. But making it canon sent a message that if Tumblr bitches hard enough they can control future shows

it's weird how porn has given us better korrasami material

I've read Harlivy fics with the same premise as this shit and at least the fics had the decency of create conflict between one of the characters and their parents. This is just pure safely shit

The art is pretty iffy, and I loved the show

before I see the spoiler, it's gonna say "you gotta deal with it", right?
yes
yes it did

this is why voltron fans are nuts
bryke ruined fandoms for everyone

Even the fucking narusaku fans stopped being salty by now

Do you honestly want an Avatar story though where the parent is having a spat with their kids because of a gay relationship?

Personally just want interesting villains and fighting, but I don't expect much from the comic in that regard either

> Any pairing tumblr likes being canon is a sign of pandering

Alternatively: The show runners did it because they liked it?

Which official comic? I only know the gurihiru ones.

storytime it.

>It's been 3 years and I'm still butthurt

I'm just saying that if you are gonna get the parent's involve at least put one of them shocked or something and not make it so safely.

The argument has always been that it's not well-developed and seems to come out of nowhere. One gets a strong sense that Bryke just threw it in at the last minute. Some people who are very cynical believe the reason it was thrown in was to make the show immune to criticism, because they could just then call their critics homophobes.

>Do you honestly want an Avatar story though where the parent is having a spat with their kids because of a gay relationship?
No, but I don't want it to be so easy either
I want some surprise and awkwardness, and a slower development of acceptance into the family, while the actual story happens

Jinora looks pretty excited to see them.

like, "I want to join in" kind of excited.

yes and?

Not just Asami. You ever realize how may times she gets kidnapped or reduced to helplessness?

the one coming out in 2 weeks

some parents actually love their children because they aren't disappointing neets

I guess it beats the overdone angst and conservative parents trope, and it means any relationship related drama is out of the way and the plot can be focused on.

Dunno if there was a way coming out to her parents could have been done without it being cliché, unless it was just skipped over and we could have had Korra's parents badgering her about making one of those betrothal necklaces and settling down now she has a partner. Something that would add a little tension by bringing up marriage so early in a relationship but not be beyond overdone in various melodramas.

I'd be better than kai

From the pages I've seen it seems like they're pretending that Korra and Asami were always great friends and Korra never did anything to fuck Asami over. I'd hoped they'd adress some unpleasant things that happened in the previous seasons but nope.

What I'm meant to say was what this user said . I'm not good with words, you see. The fics I've read usually goes down that part

>I'd hoped they'd adress some unpleasant things that happened in the previous seasons but nope.
they got over that. the stuff in the first two seasons they were over in season 3, and asami forgave korra for the 3 years in season 4

He doesn't think fandoms haven't been shit before Legend of Korra

they weren't satan. fandoms used to be fun places but korra ruined them with shipping and shit writing

Problem is it was better than many of the earlier romances, which was just love at first sight

Honestly I think the best relationships in the series were the already existing ones like the one between Zaheer and P'Li

I could really see it happening in season 3, they had alot of time together and seemed to get really close, especially at the end.

But then season 4 separated them for the most part so the relationship seemed weird. Not awful, but they should have been closer together in the last battle, perhaps shared some kind of moments that would foreshadow their crushing on eachother more.

I was just pleased Makorra didn't return.

Actually technically the original Avatar fandom ruined fandoms. That's where all the shipping and terrible fan content started. The show is great, of course, but the fandom it spawned is patient zero for the current cancer.

fandoms used to be
>lol I love mah perfect babbees xD *snugglez u* ^_^
Now they be like
>if you don't make klance canon I will illegally release the spoilers from the third season

There is currently 40 000 fanfics on fanfiction.net for Avatar the Last Airbender, each one worse than the last in writing, Legend of Korra couldn't even reach half that

There are also 769 000 Harry Potter fanfics who make Cursed Child look like fucking Tolstoj

Nah, I think that's Naruto. I remember Naruto being absolute shitflinging insanity. I reckon the cancerous naruto shipping fanbase became the cancerous AtLA shipping fanbase.

>Cursed Child
the what now

Way to steal from a Tumblr post.

Harry Potter ruined fandoms

Also the longest piece of fiction is a 8 million words Smash Brothers fan fic

Actually I think raises a valid point: it may be Harry Potter, not Naruto, where this all started.

I don't remember Korra apologizing Asami for messing up her relationship with Mako. If I'm wrong point me to the episode where that happens. IIRC They never really talked about it which really irked me. The only thing I remember was putting the blame on Mako and laughing it off. It was like they were deliberately ignoring the elephant in the room.

>But then season 4 separated them for the most part so the relationship seemed weird.
it's hilarious how much Mako spent more time with Korra being buddies together than with Asami. They even bothered in showing him worried the most by the cinematography, while they relied on using Asami in the background in the same shots where Mako was screaming for Korra's safety.

It's insane. That handholding was completely a last minute change and it was obvious. The voice actresses even told they were going to add a few lines to the last episode.

A Harry Potter "continuation" in the form of a play, partially written by JKR herself.

Sure, if by a bunch of guys fapping over the idea of cartoon lesbians makes a pairing popular, then yeah, super popular.

jokes on you, I saw it on twitter
who's the tumblr user now, faggot? you are!

Fucking J.K. Rowling.

Ever heard of the infamous Harry Potter fanfic My Immortal? Some people must have read that and thought it would make an excellent theater play for Harry Potter

Then Rowling gave it her stamp of approval and helped some of the writing, it is arguably one of the worst pieces of fiction of the 21st century

season 3 episode 1

is it any good

Beginning of Book 3 when they are in the car.

Nope.

no
this thread has told you many times that it isn't
what's wrong with you?

dang

but it still souds like something i need to read

i love harry potter

How bad IS The Cursed Child, anyways? The only thing I remember from any it is that Rowling went on the defensive about the casting of a black woman as Hermione.

>but it still souds like something i need to read
Only if you like terrible fan fiction tier material

Its as clownish as the new Star Trek Discovery series complete with Mary Sue characters.

a plot point is that voldemort used a time turner to go to the future and cuck malfoy

you know how the original harry potter books are cool mysteries?
this is a time travel fixfic

i have never seen any star trek thing

So it's basically already a given that Discovery will be bad, then?

I love korra because regardless of how mediocre it was, it still caused enough ass hurt when Sup Forums can never talk about the avatar universe again.

In retrospect I like it better when gals are pals instead of gay.
Change it back, Bryke.

That's certainly true, but X amount of pages of the characters meandering around to instant, ecstatic celebration from every relative and acquaintance hardly makes for an engaging read.

It was likely a Tumblr screenshot.

Well, these are Eskimo people. It's not like they're well known people of homophobia history. Japan fire people probably totally don't mind tho due to those gay ancient arts.

Bad enough that the plot is eerily similar to one of the most infamous pieces of fanfiction in existence

>In retrospect I like it better when gals are pals instead of gay.
not to sound tumblr-y, but we get so few good female protagonists in general that when I see female friendship it's like finding an oasis in the desert. I really like female friendships, and I hate it when the fans go immediatly for the "make it gay" route

Its actually where Mary Sue comes from in the modern vernacular. A piece of Star Trek fiction written that featured said character and then had all the other characters fawn over how important and great they were.

The play does that. Also shits all over Ron.

>bolin has that what the fuck is going with the world face

>A piece of Star Trek fiction written that featured said character and then had all the other characters fawn over how important and great they were.
so, wil wheaton's character

What are some of the best Korrasmi artists? NSFW is appreciated.

Well I thought it was great, but I also realize that a lot of people here disagree vehemently

Sounds like shit.

Addendum: The original Mary Sue in the Star Trek fanfiction was a parody of that character archetype, which had been prominent in enough fan stories that such a parody was conceived.

Yep. The writing for the main character is laughable. Most important person in the universe., seriously that's not a joke she's written like that.

First Human to go the Vulcan Science Academy and Sarek's adopted daughter.

Actually, Scrapper is one of the main reasons we can't talk about Avatar, since he tends to come into every Avatar thread we try to have and derail it.

My dick wants it though, too much anime

Fire nations isn't Japan, it's Thailand and of those other nations but they still still kill the shit out of gays

Ok, watching it now I remember what bugged me. At the start of season 3 they're shown to be very good friends. But there was no organic transition that would make the change in the relationship seem natural. One season they're merely acquaintances and the next they're already BBFs. We've missed all the progression. They indeed mentioned the love triangle, but it was merely brushing it off. Not what I would call a satisfying resolution.

I do love the series too. Second season might have been a mess and the last 10 minutes were stupid, but the show was always really fun and I looked forward to it every week. I really miss it, I loved Korra as a character, and the rest of the krew was ok. Mako got too much hate over nothing. Asami was shit, tho', they never did anything with her.

who´s the writer of this?

Yep.

Oh boy I can't wait to read this trainwreck and be mildly reminded of the better years of 2014-2015ish.

I heartedly concur with you my African American brother.

Love you too.

Indeed

Nice play there.
Everything makes sense now.

The ending of Korra itself is fine; it's ambiguous and suggests a possibility of romance between Korra and Asami while focusing on other things. The actions of Bryke since then have been fucking stupid, engaging in great self aggrandisement to claim that their show was far more progressive than it actually was to try and preserve their legacy when the narrative before the finale was that Korra had received a mixed reception and was a ratings flop. Korra and Asami suddenly being lesbians with no build-up whatsoever is dumb and another sign that Bryke would sully their own artistic integrity for a minute amount of praise from a small cadre of progressives.

>tfw never had any reason to inherently dislike gay people
>The last 5 fucking years of pandering and shoehorning for progressive points has made me so intolerant of this garbage
>realize there's nothing wrong with these images out of context and the fact that the hack writers decided to make two established characters gay suddenly as a substitute for a satisfying ending or character development

I hate this

Time Skips be a bitch to the series. Months for Book 3 and then years in Book 4.
