Avatar: The Legend of Korra

I know I sound snarky but honestly Mako hate is really ungrounded.

1. Don't put hyperbole in my mouth to try and make a point, cuz my point doesn't change when the only grounds in hooking them up were for plot before characterization, especially since whatever attraction they allegedly felt for eachother was just plain tossed in. No, it doesn't need "years of backstory" but it does sure as hell need a bit more chemistry than a shitty filler episode masquerading as character development near the first season's halfway point

2. This has ****-all to do with my opinion on just Mako--both he AND Korra were insufferable little children in book 1 and idiots in book 2, but frankly he was the lesser of two evils on both counts. And hell, I thought he made up for that plenty in book 4, especially his actions in the finale. I'm not calling out a ship I hate or something, I'm calling out weak writing, and imho, the romantic arcs in the Avatar franchise in general are just that.

Well Korra's attraction to Mako makes sense. Early on she is established as a person who values strong benders and something new and exciting. Mako is all of these things and a "kind" person with quite a bit of intelligence. He's kinda the perfect guy for the inexperienced young Korra.

The problem is Mako's attraction to Korra is very poorly handled. Dude comes across as a legit gold digger in Book 1 and it is hilarious.

Tbf Mako valuing stability is directly addressed, because of his poor upbringing he never wants to be poor again. Also Asami's pretty hot and she could fix every issue in his life.

Which makes him look like a gold digger who doesn't really care about Asami's issues if she can't be his meal ticket.

Wonder if there are still fans in denial about the KorraxAsami ship

Here you go, you lazy kiddy-fiddler.

i don't like the way you said "kiddy-fiddler" in a derogatory tone.

ahah

Lulz.

Aang: "I need to restore my entire culture!"

*fathers a lesbian who can't Air bend*

But hey man, I can see it. Same with Aiwei I suppose.

Edit: And yeah I know Kya could be bisexual but irrelevant for the sake of a joke.

Was it ever implied? Also Tenzin is doing just fine by himself.

He also fathered the best Airbender the world has ever seen since Aang himself and Bumi.

I want Mako to be bisexual.

Gay.
