yeah. i felt it was just thrown in at the end for whatever reason, and it almost makes korra and asami defined by their relationship rather than their personalities and everything they've done. they could have done a better job with it, but it's still a huge leap forward.

Exactly, the only hints were of friendship.

If you compare how Makorra progressed its a clear difference of how their relationship developed, regardless of "hetero lenses"

But I guess they had to keep it vague because kidshow, but it still seems a bit odd, just like the random dad martyr

eh, i still don't think there was very much pointing towards it, but i haven't watched season 3 in a while. i don't think there were very many korra+asami interactions in season 4 either, but i could be wrong

i probably wouldn't because if it was male x female the only logical choice would be mako, and since they were already in a relationship it wouldn't be a surprise.

but if those hints were male x female you wouldn't be saying it was a surprise

i mean i never expected it at all because i didnt expect homo love to air on kids tv. so i guess that could have clouded my judgement.

Sims

there were some hints like korra only sending letters to asami, but it also pointed to there just being a strictly platonic friendship/trust between them

maybe i should rewatch then

oh and as great as it is or whatever to canonise korrasami, the build up wasn't really there imho. like it was a surprisse it happened for more than one reason. i guess thats what budget cuts do

tbh i thought the idea of a just a regular nonbender being able to take away bending was pretty "unrealistic" for avatar. its like he just came out of nowhere. the bloodbending story made much more sense to me

Also, the whole holding hand part seems a lil bit out of the blue, but I guess if you look at it like a relationship which is about to be built up in the future it makes sense.

Jesus christ people sure read into this way too much, why dont you think about how it would make sense series wise?

I feel like the weakest point in the series was making Amon to be completely fake. It would have been more interesting if he was considered "pure" enough to take peoples bending like Aang did. This would underline the concept that people can have radical or different ideas and still be ideologically pure and that good and evil are a matter of prespective rather than absolute. Making him a bloodbender who could somehow block peoples bending seemed like a cop out on a more important underlying lesson about humanity.

according to pure logic, korrasami is definitely canon. and then there's the fact that bryke keeps liking korrasami related stuff (on tumblr and facebook and the like)
