that amazing ending it still makes me cry to this day no ending has ever touched me like that

spending my entire life growing up hated for my sexuality and this ending showed its ok to like a person of the same gender

and after all the struggles korra and assami went through seeing the 2 get a happy end was just great

and it did change things we have had so much progress in LGBT representation in childrens animation since then

steven universe gravity falls star vs adventure time voltron tweleve forever and naturally the big one SHE-RA there are more i could name but these cover a good range

which one was season 4 - the one with Kuvira or the one with the airbender villain?

I enjoyed all of the seasons, btw, but season two to a much lesser degree

actually it was put online because most people where watching it there they still aired every episode on TV they just moved premieres to online where the teenagers and young adults (largest demographic for the show) where watching it

hell im pretty sure the show still airs on nicktoons alongside last airbender

Outside of season 3, which was fantastic and on par with TLA, and season 1, it fucking sucked.

No one learned anything from Amon, even though he was the rightest of them all in saying that non-benders were second class citizens.

I haven't watched past season 1, but while Amon started off amazing, after the reveal he was kinda eh (the reveal was great and all, and the identity was pretty interesting, but Amon himself from that point onwards kinda felt lacking)

Yes, that.

It would be different if she and Asami were like Aang and Katara, where their friendship builds and its revealed that they both had strong feelings for each other and eventually get together when the war is won and things settle down. Instead it just feel thrown in at the last minute. Comes off as pandering when writers do stuff like that

What was the 1st date?

They didnt even flirt nor did any of them hint that they liked each other on any level more than just friends. As far as I remember, one throw away line was all they got.

There was more tension between Korra, Bolin, and Mako than there was between Korra and Asami.

Can I assume that you've already had the instances of foreshadowing starting in Book 3 pointed out to you by another poster at some point, or do I have the privilege of being the first to do so, to be inevitably met with the usual rebuttals of 'that's not enough!' or 'that just means they're good friends!'

unless there's something I'm missing there, the ending was somewhat ambiguous. Asami says she wants to explore the spirit world and Korra takes her hand when they enter.

but also... their relationship did build throughout the whole series. hell, Asami was the one Korra wrote to when she was recovering from the Not-Mercury Poisoning

I guess good friends are something that isnt ever mistaken for homosexuality of there is no other context...

That fact that im not alone on this opinion means that they clearly didnt give very much forshadowing..

Take Aang and Katara for example. Multiple times it was stated and shown that He liked Katara and perheps Katara liked him too be the timing just wasnt right. They did more than just "write to each other"

It felt like it came out of left field, but s4 did show a slight development, off the top of my head that Korra only wrote to asami during the timeskip and some subtle flirting.

I don't think it was pandering, and if so fuck it I'll ship them. No different than a straight couple falling for each other the last season. Only sensitive reactionaries seem to get pissy about it.

Series was good tho, s3 def tops anything from TLA. Felt like another Avatar but matured, and it's nice to have that age. Also there isn't enough fiction set in that time period.

I also think the surprise was because, at the time, there weren't any homosexual relationships in cartoons so it was more impactful and stood out.

Yeah, if you go back and re-watch the 4th season/book, their relationship wasn't just pulled from their asses. It's just that they couldn't show the romance like they wanted to because even just 10 years ago people still hated LGBT people

But yeah, there was a lot of hints to it during that last book

  • From Season 3 onward, Asami guards Korra's body while Korra is in the Spirit World, a role exclusively reserved for the Spirit World-goer's SO throughout both series (the only exception being Jinora in S2, who has no SO at the time)
  • Korra visibly blushes when Asami compliments her haircut, which in these shows is an inarguable sign of romantic interest
  • Shortly thereafter, Korra and Asami have a pseudo-lover's fight, after which even Mako takes notice and comments 'is something going on between you two?'
  • Asami is the only one Korra feels comfortable writing to while she's in her depressive state


The foreshadowing is there. You can nitpick it apart until you're blue in the face, but your inability to perceive it upon first viewing won't magically cause it to not be there; there was sufficient foreshadowing to bring things to the final shot of the show, which was two same-sex characters coming to the realization that they had romantic feelings for each other. More room for development would have always been welcome, but what we got was very likely the maximum extent of onscreen relationship Nickelodeon allowed the showrunners to portray.
