I'm still torn about the ending. Part of me appreciates Bryke for ending the show the way they did, the other part feels it was too much fanservice. But I had to share this picture.

I don't think it's fan service. There's an IGN interview from a few months ago where they say that they don't base their show/pairings based on how many likes or shares it says. I think they even say something like that is a good way to write a terrible story.

They do listen to what the fans are saying though, obvious from all the easter eggs and stuff. I think what happened was that they saw the idea and liked it enough that they started playing around with it by season 3. Remember, an idea shouldn't automatically be ignored just because it came from a fan. It should be judged on its worthiness, and they apparently found the idea worthy.

Korra and Asami starting to date just feels so out of the blue. They haven't shown any romantic interest in each other for four books (not sure if you should count the blush), but in the last three minutes of the finale, they decided to hook up (or at least that is implied). It feels like fanservice, because the majority of the shippers are Korrasami and it hasn't had any previous build up.

That's opinion. It felt to me like there was something growing between them since the season 3 finale, it was just very subtle and focused more on the emotional aspect of things over the physical things.

I wonder what it'd be like to rewatch the episodes keeping it in mind.

There's been a looooooooot of buildup, dear, you just missed it. It goes back to season 3 at the very latest. Season 1 should probably be discounted because they didn't know if they were getting more seasons then, and there wasn't a lot in season 2. But they were paired up a lot in season 3, with a lot of wonderful interaction. Huge bonds of trust through the entire show, always looking out for each other. Asami taking care of Korra while wheelchair bound, offering to go to the South Pole, telling her how much she misses her when she's gone. Korra only writing to Asami because she's the only person Korra trusts with her feelings. The Reunion flirting and blush. And Asami going to Air Temple Island with Korra (while her mansion is full of people) and offering her so much support. There's a lot more. But seriously, they've been building it up for at least two seasons.

But either way, all the other ships had no buildup, so I don't get this complaint. Even if I admitted there was no buildup between the girls (which I wouldn't), did we forget that Masami had about 12 seconds of buildup before they were officially dating? Or that all the relationships of Bolin, plus Jinora, were all just "Hi, blush, dating?"

But all that build up might as well be considered ''friends'' instead of ''romantic feelings''.

Masami had about 12 seconds of buildup

And in those twelve seconds, it became clear that at least Mako was physically attracted to Asami which is a buildup to a romantic relationship. Same with Bolin and Opal, when Bolin and Mako have that conversation in the bathroom. Bolin keeps talking about how he digs Opal in which Mako adivses him to ask her out. Those are romantic buildsups to a relationship. Being there for each other could also mean that, but in the given context it is more likely that is was meant as friendship.

Well, you don't have to be physically attracted to someone to have a romantic relationship. But that's not even implying that they're not physically attracted to each other, because the two have exchanged blushes like any other couple. I think it's actually better that their relationship is built on their emotional connection than "wow you're hot." A lot of the relationships have felt shallow for that reason. Korrasami absolutely does not.

You could say that about a lot of heterosexual pairings in other shows. Why is it suddenly weird when it's a homosexual one?

[–]Doesn't have to prove that he's awesome anymoreAtlasFlynn[S] -5 ポイント-4 ポイント  (1子コメント)

If it were a heterosexual couple like Makorra, I still would find it out of the blue. This isn't about sexes, this is about how the "romance" was written.

[–]NomadicCupcake 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Its hard to write a romance when the romance you are trying to write is consindered my many largely immoral.

[–]lacertasomnium 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

In real life, too, friends often like each but aren't ready to admit it to themselves. Thus their afections show often and strongly, but in a way that comes off more as friendly than as romantic.

[–]dashootman 16 ポイント17 ポイント  (2子コメント)

If Asami had been a guy the build up to their relationship would never have been thought to be just the interactions of friends. I think the reaction of people saying they're just friends is an incredibly common response to lesbian relationships in media.

[–]zOmgFishes 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I thought I was the only one. I would have been happy if the series just ended without the implied romantic stuff with anyone. I really didn't find a reason for all that.

[–]klinpo 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I feel like the last scene was a little bit forced.

[–]It'll quench ya!Paj132 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I fully agree. I actually probably could've gone without romance at all in the series, at least among the main avatar gang.

[–]It'll quench ya!Paj132 -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I agree, it felt a lot like fanservice.

I don't care at all that the avatar is female, or that she's from the Southern Water Tribe, but add in implied bisexuality and it seems like exactly the kind of pandering that would cater perfectly to tumblr. I much prefer to think of them as friends, but of course I'll probably get downvoted by all the Korrasami supporters.

Still, it does seem like Bryke was fully going for Korrasami, as much as I dislike it. :L

[–]Punchedupthefuckline -4 ポイント-3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

You're acting like they fucked. It's left open to interpretation, friends still hold hands, especially girls, the staring into each others eyes bit was definitely for the Korrasami fans, but like I said it's not definite. From the outside it doesn't look like they absolutely are a couple now, they just go on vacation, but if you really love Korrasami, you can obviously choose to believe they're together. I think they did a damn good job of leaving it pretty open ended and a personal choice as to what they are to each other. Korra has said many times that she feels closest to Asami, so the show ends with Korra being with the person she loves the most, wether it be plutonic or otherwise.

[–]Aviatrix89 -5 ポイント-4 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm still annoyed, actually. I feel like this was completely out of character for Korra. I wouldn't bat an eye if I felt like it had been coming since the beginning, but it's like they decided to just go with it in this last season. I noticed they had a lot of build up, but I didn't think they'd actually pull a stunt like that ending.

It felt like it was part fan-service, and part sticking it to Nick. They knew this was the last season, and they'd been pushed around a lot. What doesn't a family network want? Controversy. And Korrasami shippers are probably not that many in numbers, but they sure are vocal! (No hate to you guys, btw. I'm happy you're happy.)

What bothers me is that they sacrificed Korra's character in the process. I liked the fact that she was this butch, muscular tomboy, who didn't have lesbian undertones. Now she's just a stereotype.
