I liked the ending though. She was happy with someone that actually cared about her and for her in her darkest times

I don't even care anymore. Nobody should. Re-evaluate your life if you do.

The butthurt caused by this and the ending of Samurai Jack was fantastic to watch.

yeah pretty much

I like hot lesbians. So I liked the ending.

Little does OP know that I visited /u/.

you made the thread. it's my obligation to let you know this show is shit and the ending is just turd icing on the cake

That doesn't trigger me.

This does.

Sup Forums who wages jihad against lesbians, successfully manage to convince a great chunk of Sup Forums, that the show would've actually been great if not for the ending.
No! The show sucks! The ending too, sure, but the ending is the the least of the show's concern on why it is genuinely awful, yet gets the most spotlight when this topic is brought up.

I'm not triggered because despite being a woman I can easily self-insert as Asami and fantasize about fucking Korra silly.

*not being a woman

Makes no sense otherwise.

Nah, I was okay with it.

It was a very flawed show, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it. I don't need complete perfection to like something.

>30 seconds that you don't care for spout a lot of great porn
Why is Sup Forums mad again?

My sentiment exactly.

Asami should cuck Korra the way Korra cucked her.

the ending is not the problem, is all the bad writing and missed oportunities, if they would have develop Korrasmi relationship since S1 it would be an amazing ending

>implying Korra cares about anyone and won't ditch Asami weeks after getting bored with her
we probably watched different show desu
LoK ruined everything good about ATLA.
E;R explained it probably the best.

>Why is Sup Forums mad again?
Because it was thrown in at the last second ti deflect criticism.

>LoK ruined everything good about ATLA.

>Op uses reverse Psychology and tells Sup Forums to shit on the ending of LoK.
>Half of Sup Forums starts praising it for the sake of being contrarian
Brilliant guys. Absolutely brilliant.

Hot the head on the nail. It all seemed rush to me, like the writers knew it was ending after the first season so they filled it with tropes and things people get hooked into.

>Ruined the Lore with idiotic, Medichlorian tier explanations and morality
>Retconned Spirits into being knockoff Pokémon instead of these terrifyingly inhuman ethereal beings
>Went full into ship shit, except it forgot to make the characters likable or endearing, which is usually the biggest factor for whether or not people actually care about the shipping (tumblr does not count as people)
>Gave half of the cast of original either shit endings (Aang being a bad father, Toph being a Whore who raised to wrecks of kids) or didn't even mention them

Except it did. Literally everything from the setting got butchered in one way or another.
>Bending takes years of practice
Korra bends 3 elements at the age of four because reasons.
>Bloodbending is only possible during full moon.
Well whatever, everyone can do it now.
>For thousands of years, people in ATLA lived in a world based on ancient eastern civilization. They had some steampunk shit but it all was powered by bending and only used for war.
70 years is enough to get into prohibition era, just because writers like that period. Even though for thousands of years technology did not change that much.
Also Energy Bending was a total asspull in ATLA, one of the weakest parts of Book 3, but removing bending by bloodbending is just whole anotehr level.
Bryke are hacks.
Not to mention Beginnings are just shitty attempt to cut of from everything that was stated in ATLA so Korra can be it it's own show, ultimately ruining everything about being an Avatar.

And about Beginnings. I'm going to copypaste comments of one guy that did the best job explaining, why they ruined the setting.

1) From a storytelling consistency perspective. This origin story is in direct contradiction with the legends presented in ATLA: the people learning how to bend from animals, the myths, the fact that animals can bend elements, the absence of any records about this era (I mean, we are shown that this ancient civilization could write, so why there were no written records about any of this?), the depiction of the spirits, the various Avatars never mentioning Raava etc..


2) From a philosophical perspective. The mythology of ATLA was heavily based on eastern philosophy (the idea of balance, the avatar as the power of equilibrium etc) while in this prequel there is a strong dychotomy between good and evil, with the underlying idea that evil (Vaatu) must be contained, repressed and confined by the power of goodness (Raava). This tipe of approach is based on the western christian philosophy (God vs Satan, rightousness vs sin) and is in direct contradiction with the eastern concepts of balance . Don't get me wrong, I am not against the use of the christian approach in storytelling, the problem here is the cohexistence of two philosophies that are in open contradiction with each other. The mythology of the Avatar itself is now a complete mess, because they tried to fuse two approaches that are incompatible.
We started from a buddist monk, and know we have a Jesus with a vagina and a bad ripoff of the original sin myth.

cont.

cultural maxism and not canon

3) From a conceptual perspective. I always had the idea that the Avatar was a regular person gifted with enormous powers, and his journey to master all the elements was a path of spiritual enlightenment, a learning experience in order for him to become a wiser person, to grow and become an enlightened being. The reason why he should master all the elements is not just because he has to be the strongest warrior in order to mantein balance in the world, but also because , by learning the different tipes of bending and the philosophies associated with them, and understanding their respective strenght and weaknesses, he can grow intellectually and spiritually. The Avatar thereby is just a person whose responsability is to grow philosophically in order to surpass the different approaches every culture has to the problems they face, bringing a new perspective in solving matters concerning the relationships between different states / cultures etc..
From this perspective the avatar is a fallible being, whose path of self improvement is never over, and every decision he proceeds to make has a lot of leverage because no one knows if it's the right choice.
But now, if the Avatar is the embodiment of the spirit of goodness, he is not fallible anymore. He can communicate with God (the christian one basically) and recieve what is BY DEFINITION the right way of handling problems. He is no more an individual in a circle of perpetual learning, but a Pope, an emissary of the higher beings. His character is not interesting anymore because he can't grow, as he doesn't need to!

cont.

4) From a pure logical point of view. I never really understood all this secrecy about the origin of the Avatar and this strange primordial world. I mean, if the Avatar can basically talk with every incarnation of himself, then there should be no reason why no one knows about this premordial era and how the Avatar was created. This is treated like a big discovery (with spirit water etc.) but basically is like asking your friend how was his day: you can do it anytime and there is no obstacle between you and this information. Heck, Aang could have just decided to take a week off his avatar duty and write down the history of his world from start to finish if he only wanted to.
This is not a revelation of a big secret kept hidden for centuries, is just a normal conversation between two people

5) General inconsistencies. I already wrote a comment about it but I love to repeat myself: Uan became the first avatar 10'000 years before Korra, but in the first season of ATLA Avatar Roku says "I have mastered the elements a thousand times and now I must do it again. You will teach the Avatar firebending."Implying that he was reincarnated 1000 times. That means that in 10'000 years there have been 1002 avatars, with a medium life duration of less than 10 years. Given the fact that Kyoshi's avatar alone lived 200+ years, Aang ~80 (+100 in hiding) surviving one of the most brutal war ever fought, Roku 100+, I don't buy it.
The second problem is that there is not so much technological difference between the Uan world and the Aang's one. This pokes another hole in tLoK worldbuilding: how are we supposed to believe that this world remained static (technologically wise) for 10'000 years, but out of the blue in less then a century we had a development so accelerated that were invented airplanes, movies, telephones etc.?

tl;dr: Those episodes ultimately ruined everything about ATLA and people liked them only because they didn't have Korra in them.

>E;R explained it probably the best.
who? can I read it somewhere?

>Ruined the Lore with idiotic
no it didn't it Ruined your head canon

>Korra bends 3 elements at the age of four because reasons
how is this a big fucking problom if somebody told aang he was the avatar at 4 he old have done it too you remember how easy it was for him to do water bending and when did it ever say you need train to bend

>Well whatever, everyone can do it now
nope only those 3 people and one of them needed a fool moon and now they are dead

>70 years is enough to get into prohibition era, just because writers like that period. Even though for thousands of years technology did not change that much
its a fantasy world you fucking idiot did you forget about the tanks jet ski factories and other shit from from the original

im not reading all your shit

youtube.com/watch?v=bmKaQqinWKY
He made a "Legend of Whorra" series.
He's basically Sup Forums and Sup Forums incarnate. His videos are basically rants and entitled so not everyone might like them, but he makes very good points.
He made two series about Korra, one about Season 1 and another about Beginnings.

stop shilling your video

meh

The show itself just never gathered any steam. It limped along for its entire run desperately trying to pivot whenever Bryke got bored or felt cornered.

People bitch about lesbian end because it feels forced and out of nowhere but that basically describes everything that happened in the entire show.

Still, it is pretty funny when people post that "it was obvious from the beginning" when Asami was literally going to be a main villain up until Bryke realized their audience liked the character.

Not that guy, but
>it Ruined your head canon
It ruined established canon (and no, I'm not going to tell you what: if you don't know, then you're not enough of a fan of the series to be making posts like this in the first place)

upvote if Asami was too good for Korra

First for Wan episodes were trash tier and only Sup Forumstards thought it was good.

Essentially Robo-Unalaq. Ugh.

>Sup Forumstards
implying anyone right leaning would like episodes about a fucking lazy commie who never could find a job and just was stealing from the rich becoming the first avatar and guide to humanity thanks to some faggot magic carpet

nice try drumfkin. The episodes were shit admit it. Shitty writing, shitty story, shitty Alladin character

but that's what i said...
episodes were shit, but your claim that Sup Forumstards would like it is retarded
only reason they might have liked it is that there was no fucking Korra.
still Wan is an even worse piece of shit

yup.

>It ruined established canon
no it didnt

>>Korra bends 3 elements at the age of four because reasons
>>Well whatever, everyone can do it now
years is enough to get into prohibition era, just because writers like that period. Even though for thousands of years technology did not change that much
Mate the fuck are you talking about I didn't say any of this?

Korrasami was and is shit and no amount of time passed is going to change that.

Exactly. And Sup Forumstards have terrible taste that think the episodes were good. Why are you retarded user?

what the fuck are you talking about

They were already producing some serious car tech in ATLA. 70 years could definitely be enough to see what we saw. Especially considering this is Republic City not the whole world

it never built up to the relationship, that shit was random as hell. Also fuck them for skipping Aang's adulthood entirely. What retard made this decision when they could have kept going by making more money of Aang Arc.

/thread

It was made out of "pure platinum", a supposedly unbendable metal, which leads to the question of how you'd make this giant construct if you didn't have magic powers to aid you.

...

Nah man, the ending is not as bad as the fucking comics. Holy fuck, this just makes me mad

eyebrowfu was a cute

>me
Sorry for the shitty quality

I ignore the comic. Nobody should care, most of them have been trash.

Instead the erotic fan art is my canon and there's nothing Bryke can do about it. Korra's legacy is appearing in a lot of interracial lesbian erotica.

goddammit korra. you sucked in the show and you suck in the comics

While i agree the comics are worse, that doesn't really take away from the ending also being shit.

>Genocide? Whatever...
>Banning homosexual relationships? OUTRAGE!

Bitch, dyke porn existed way before this was canon and frankly it was hotter as a non-canon lipstick lesbian fantasy.

Why couldn't we just for once have the girl win the guy in the end?!

Because you fags are a minority.

To quote Korra. "You gotta deal with it!"

It's really the dumbassery of the response that makes it.

>Fire Hitler conquered large swaths of land, murdered an entire race of people, and BANNED GAY SEX
>"Gee whiz, what a crum bum!"

Yes, Korra, Fire Hitler truly was just "the worst". You weren't there, but if you were, we can all be sure you wouldn't sit at his table during lunch.

I liked it. I thought it was clear that Asami developed feelings when she was taking care of Korra when she in poor health with ptsd and shit. I thought it was touching and subtle which is nice to see in gay relationships. It's more like how it happens in real life with normal gays and not faggots.

>Korra and Asami made eye contact, just like the real gays!
Sometimes I figure it's this kind of thing that proves progressive bullshit is doing a bad job. Because after an episode about "the gays", we have people coming away acting enlightened about "the gays" and how "the gays" behave.

Nigga, "the gays" do not have relationships. Individual people have relationships and the nature of that relationship depends on a lot of factors. If you're justifying a homosexual pairing in a show by saying "it's nice to see the gays caring for each other" then maybe the show didn't do that great of a job of really humanizing these characters for you.

THE UNENLIGHTENED MASSES...

That's because I am gay you stupid nigger.

The distinction you made between "the gays" and faggots is fucking homophobic so fuck you.
Same-sex relationship tend to be slightly different than heterosexual relationships because of the gender roles, actually. Either way, you're right.

that just makes you biased and means you're projecting. Gay people can't really comment on gay relationships because it's too personal for them to understand if it's good or not

Wasn't it just a giant fuck you to Nick for screwing them with time slots?

>This triggers Sup Forums.

I don't think you know what that word means.

You know how it's used in Sup Forums, fag.

three years have passed and I'm still cringe

Ultimo?

Of course gay people can comment on gay relationships. It's just that I feel like a lot of times these days, one self-centered dumbass gets up on an online stage and speaks for all of their demographic as though being gay were a monolith. I have seen lesbians swear up and down and try to convince the whole internet that no lesbian in the history of ever has ever rubbed her vagina against another woman's vagina. I've seen articles posted in places like the Huffington Post "educating" people about how tribbing is a form of patriarchal brain washing that only occurs in porn, on the basis that they asked one lesbian and she declared that no lesbian on earth likes it.

BUT WHOOPS, SURPRISE. Turns out no demographic is a monolith, everything is personal preference, and each person is an individual. No one person or one perspective could describe every lesbian or every gay person. You can't say lesbians won't do anal just because you are a lesbian and you in particular don't. There's statistical data you might find, and it may say that people in a demo are more likely to do one thing or another, or think certain things, but stats data doesn't matter once you're talking to a living, breathing person. An individual is not a statistic.

I feel like a lot of "progressive" stuff today is trying to explain the monolith of homosexuality or skin color, when the point has always been that there are no monoliths and you can't categorize everyone into these convenient academic perspectives. Trying to do so just confuses people and makes them more liable to be racist, sexist, or whatever.

Sounds about right, but sadly it feels like it's an outdated view on things.

Asami deserves better than her.
>Korra is the reason Mako and Korra didn't work out
>Always wanted to pick a fight with him over little things, got mad when he voiced his opinion and didn't immediately side with her

Realistically Asami and Korra would break up at most a few months after they started dating. But since they got together to show how progressive the staff way, they won't.

gay people talk too much without understanding the bigger world. That's why 40% of new comic characters are some level of gay. Because gays simply want gay in everything. Gay people don't understand how to strike the balance, or proportion. 99% of the world is straight.

Gay people don't care about if the overall product is good. They only care if it's good including gay people. Sometimes we don't need gay people in stories

>someone that actually cared about her and for her in her darkest times
That describes everyone of the good guys in the show. Mako cared, Bolin cared, the air babies cared, Asami cared. It just so happened that Korra wasn't accepting peoples caring, and that includes Asami btw. In fact Tenzin cared enough to visit her which Asami didn't. Arguably other characters cared more than Asami, and she could have been happier with them.

This

This is the correct answer.

To be honest, i could never understand this bullshit about "representation". How entitled and selfish you have to be to want everything be about you, even in fucking fiction.

Not all gay people want everything to be gay. Just the extremely "progressive" ones.

>to want everything be about you
So you don't understand what you're saying at all.

That's the issue though. the progressives are the ones who speak the loudest so they get catered to. I mean look at Batman girls.
Batwoman -gay
Catwoman -bi
Poison Ivy -gay
Harley Quinn -gay

these were the sexiest ladies in comics but somehow straight girls don't buy comics so every female comic character has to be turned gay so gay women will buy comics. This would actually be a perfect harmony except for one problem. Lesbians hate sex appeal. Men like sex appeal. That one fundamental difference means catering to lesbians means pushing out straight men. Gays and straight can never coexist

i meant to use this picture

>REEEE you don't get my pain, world is so homophobic because this character in that show doesn't take it up the ass : (

I'm pretty sure Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn are bi.

>Lesbians hate sex appeal
Only SJW ones, normal lesbians love sexy girls.

I think the point was that is you don't care about representation why do you care that gays are over-representet in comics?

I hated it cause it if anyone was to be Korra's arch rival, it was Asami, but NOPE.
Lesbian butt buddies until Korra's drives her away romantically too.
Wonder if Lesbian domestic abuse is as high in Avatar land as it is here.

bi and gay is the same thing they fall into LGBT which means they are characters for representation. Besides I'm pretty sure they are in a gay relationship, not some 3way open relationship involving a guy so for now they are lesbians

>Only SJW ones, normal lesbians love sexy girls.
yet for some reason i never hear the non SJW gays speak up against the SJW gays. We need a civil war.

i care because it's obvious pandering nobody but bunch of triggered tumblrinas need

It probably is.

Asami's gonna wish she stayed with Mako.

The Legend of Korra is like Batman v Superman or Mass Effect 3. The ending is controversial and yeah it gets a lot of complaints about it. But the entirety of the work gets just as many complaints and there's a lot of legit criticisms there. Defenders only want to focus on the ending because it's easier to tackle that shit.

She worked better with him anyway. He with her aswell.

Asami was meant to be a bad guy at first. But the creators liked her so much they hurry up and threw her dad into the mix so they could keep her around

>Even though it has been roughly three years since the show ended.
Sonic 06: "Hold my beer"

It was mad even worse cause at that point, Asami had every reason to hate Korra's guts, but ended up in a relationship with her with no closure.

It'd be more reasonable if she wanted to go to the spirit world with Korra to finish her off there, than a romantic getaway.

I don't know, it's ironic that you complain about a minority not understanding the bigger world thinking everything is gay while you're doing the same thing. Comic/cartoon fans are a minority, and the overlap between "gay" and "people who give a fuck about cartoons" is just irrelevant. None of my gay friends (and I have a lot) give a fuck about representation on media. They just want to fuck other guys and that's pretty much it.
But you've heard some annoying SJW on the Internet talking about this shit and suddenly all the gays want a minimum of 40% quota of LGBT characters in cartoons. Well, that's wrong.

this. She deserved to be happy
