i just dont see it happening, especially after the talk mako and korra had. that made it seem like there was something still there. also, if they didnt make them hold hands and look at each other in the end, korrasami would seem even less likely
i dont really care that much, though. i just hope they expand the universe with some comics like they did with the original avatar. i didnt read those, but i like korra a lot better and i would definitely pick up some korra comics.
varrick's wedding was awesome, also.
edit: maybe hiroshi wanted to die, mayhaps. it's the ultimate retribution
hiroshi bad guy > make hiroshi have feelings for like 2 scenes > bring back for finale > MARTYR for cool points
there was nothing to suggest beforehand that he had any intention of martyring before the scene. realistically he would have wanted to be able to spend more time with asami but he was like "nm lol ill just die here when its not actually necessary"
i agree that it's a step in the right direction and i think it's pretty great, but i can't in good faith say that they're actually a couple or anything.
im about 18 minutes in and so far this is absolutely amazing though.
