At that point, the only thing that would have happened is Kuvira getting her entire army killed and she wasn't all terrible(she was like 90% of the way there and would have become more terrible over time). Remember the point of the series is that all villains think they are doing good. | ||

Equalists were not completely evil and thought they were making the world a fairer place for non-benders. | ||

Yeah they had that talk in the spirit world to solve things by talking supposedly. But seriously. You see your opponent counter a shot from your super weapon and you start rethinking your commitment to this fight. It's not the surrender it's how she completely changed. I'm sorry but you don't change from being a ruthless dictator who even went as far as to kill their fiancee just to get the avatar to what ended up happening at the end. | ||

You do when you have like, 10 minutes to wrap up a whole series lol I choose to think that she was slowly realizing she was taking things too far, but felt she had no choice but to see it through to the bitter end, but then seeing Korra take that spirit blast full on and be willing to risk her life for a bitter enemy was a huge eye opener. | ||

I heard Supernatural had an episode where one of the male main characters turns into a woman and then fucks his brother and now we have Korra and Asami. Two ladies that doesnt seem close at all until season 3 and now they wanna fuck in the spirit world. Okay then. Not sure how I feel about the mecha finale but LoK overall was alright but nowhere near as good as TLA. Korra had some character moments that really pissed me off. It's not right to compare trash like Supernatural to Korra. The effects in supernatural were junk and the episodes used the same templates so often they could be compared to Pokemon or the new Simpson's episodes. "Supernatural Evil Thing(i)s blasting off again!" *twinkle* And the writers had at least these two ways they could have gone about the fanservice: 1. Ignore the fans and just do what was in their minds originally 2. Make their fans happy by doing the things they want to see When I started looking at it like that I started to understand their decision to include all the fanservice. In no case were the bad guys evil. Except maybe Vaatu, because he's the embodiment of darkness and evil in the Avatar Universe. edit: I guess it depends how you define evil. I mean they don't have devils prodding them. They think they're doing something good. The bad guys just went too far every time. The equalists took people's bending away. They should have just voted for nonbending democratically elected leaders and representatives to champion them. It wasn't too clear how nonbenders were treated like second class citizens either. | ||

Of course there was a fan base for Korra and Asami right from the beginnig, but it only got huge starting in the middle of season 3. Shipping and romance have been pretty big in every season though. They chose a ship and lightly nudged it after they saw the interest develop. Iroh 1, Zuko, and Toph were definitely fan service. And the line about Toph not wanting to fight Kuvira was resolution to appease the fan base. | ||

(link) One Million Moms launched an email campaign in 2013 that urged Disney officials to abandon their plans to corrupt the children’s network with LGBT content. However, Disney officials have not responded to the thousands of emails protesting their plans. Disney has decided to be politically correct instead of providing family-friendly programming. Disney should stick to entertaining, not pushing an agenda. Conservative families need to urge Disney to avoid controversial topics that children are far too young to comprehend. This is the last place a parent would expect their children to be confronted with topics that are too difficult for them to understand. Mature issues of this nature are being introduced too early and too soon, and it is extremely unnecessary. Apparently there is such a thing as organized campaigns by reactionaries to try to sabotage depictions of homosexuality in children entertainment under various guise like the seemingly innocent "they're too young to understand" and the more outright malicious "stop trying to corrupt our youth!". I haven't heard about any backlash against LoK so far, but I suppose there are various reasons why this show might fly under the radar. | ||

Then there was Zaheer and P'li, and Kuvira and Bataar Jr., where you couldn't even tell if Zaheer and Kuvira were just being manipulative until P'li dies and Kuvira actually looks remorseful when she fires the cannon on Bataar. And Season 1 of LoK was clearly trying to push Mako and Korra as a couple, but they bumbled it so badly that Season 2 basically had to hammer in that all the previous romance was just not working at all. So, sure, Korra and Asami might feel "forced" a bit, but at least it had some slow burn quality to it, unlike every single relationship that wasn't Aang and Katara. Well, and maybe Varrick and Zhu Li.

They probably got away with a lot more after Nickolodeon shunted them into a web stream. | ||

I'm all for having lesbian/bisexual characters in a show like that, but that wasn't a case of this Except it was an exact mirror of TLA's ending scene, sans kiss. At the very least, there was a conscious decision to try and draw a parallel. | ||

There's a clear pattern here. Also, yes, this was a mirroring of TLA's finale. Really, all the signs are there. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/883/492/9f5.jpg) I see the ending not as "look at these two lesbians they are gonna bang in the spirit world!" I see it more as the two seeing their mutual attraction to each other, them acting on that attraction, and maybe something more will grow out of it. | ||
