If that weren't hard enough, the two of them are benders, a firebender, and an earthbender respectively.

Just to quick rant about the lok reddit, honestly the people there, suck. A lot of them are a bunch of gatekeepers when it comes down to shipping. If you don't ship K//A or if you have any negative options about it, you'll get downvoted to oblivion for it. Also they fill the feeds with K//A posts, even though they have their own subreddit just for the ship (which for some reason is part of the main Avatar community instead of being grouped with the other shipping subreddits, but that's another thing.) I know the TLA subreddit has it toxicity, but I can't handle the lok reddit toxicness, so I stopped visiting it altogether.
Sorry to drop this on you, but I really needed to rant about that. Personally, I like the ship, but don't want to see it canon. But I hope you get your wish.
The funniest part of Wuko theoretically becoming canon would be watching the TLOK subreddit losing its everloving mind
Relistening to the song, Nothing Good, and man there's so much foreshadowing after watching season 2.
Since this was technically discussed with you about the HFM, I thought to ask a bit more on the hypothetical of Mako's death. If he did died when he destroyed the mech, do you feel that Korra would still be willing to forgive Kuvira (excluding all the crap from ROTE)?
Interesting question.
My inititial response would be like ‘yeah I think Korra would be more pissed off at Kuvira.’
But thinking about it, I think Kuvira and Korra would still reach an understanding. I think sometimes people miss that Korra doesn’t really offer forgiveness, she offers her understanding and empathy. In a way, pity. This is why I like the ending of the show despite not liking Kuvira much. Korra has grown enough to see herself in Kuvira and that’s why she reaches out. She says what Kuvira has done was wrong, but sympathises with her. So I can see Korra offering this to Kuvira even if Mako dies, even if it’s angrier and colder.
Though I think this hypothetical proves why having Mako dying would be a bad idea. Because Korra talks to Kuvira and then she’s told ‘oh yeah she killed Mako.’ I think it would force something of a different response by Korra after the original surrender by having her acknowledge Mako’s death, or the writers would have to come up with something different entirely, which means a reworking of the whole ending. Because in the show she doesn’t hear that everyone is okay until after the speech with Kuvira. So they either treat Mako’s death as an afterthought to the scene or they re-work the whole thing entirely which means they likely drop the Korra/Kuvira comparisons. Which means reworking the show and themes and this is why I think Mako’s death is just a very messy way to end the show in general.
But say in a hypothetical version where Korra learns of Mako’s death before she confronts Kuvira, I could see a version of what we get in the show, but colder and angrier. Because I still think that Korra after everything she learnt in the show would still want to understand Kuvira even if she’s pissed.
@buckybarnesss Tell me about it. Especially since there is so much double standards of have fans will praise Korra and demonize Mako. Like her borderline domestic abusive actions in peacekeepers. They just focus on that Mako told the president her plans, ignoring he basically backed him into a corner with that, with the subtle threats. But no he just bad boyfriend for not supporting his girlfriend when she goes to perform federal illegal acts.
another day, another reddit post i gotta defend my boy mako in.
Realizing I never dumped my amphibia time stuff here… expect more
Zukaang Week will run this year from July 4-8. Keep an eye out for prompt submissions, FAQ, and rules, and start thinking about amazing Zukaang content to create!
What makes it funnier is how the other descriptions for the Legend NPCs for the pre-generated adventures. Like how its say for Rangi she's the bodyguard and companion of Kyoshi. For Zuko he's the Fire Lord seeking peace. Asami is the CEO of Future Industries. Basic description of their roles.
Then for Mako, the writer is just thristing for him. It just hilarious of the unintentional bias when you compare them.
The Avatar Legends writing room, probably:
"Hey, boss. We have to describe Mako in this NPC list for the premade adventure, but we only have one sentence and he's such a complex character. What should we say?" "Hmmmm well he's really good looking just talk about how sexy he is." "...Really? Shouldn't we mention his selflessness because of his actions to save the city from a weapon of mass destruction?" "No talk about how people faint because of how hot he is." "Uhhh what about his complicated past as a former triad now working for the police...? Or his connections to some of the most powerful people in the world?" "No way talk about how he never shows emotion." "Wait what? He shows emotion, he's very expressive—" "JUST GIVE ME THAT, I'LL WRITE IT!"
What personally gets me was that the Patterns of Time stories kinda had this theme of using flashback stories or characters reflecting on the past. So why isn't the two characters with arguably the most interesting past aren't here?
There could have been so much potential for a short story of the brothers, (before being orphans, time in the triads, beginning of their pro-bending careers) , but nothing. Mako and Bolin deserves better and hopefully in future projects.
Also the cover was just full pandering and doesn't reflect the stories at all.
It was so disappointing that patterns in time was mostly about the air kids, like they are ok but really the focus was Meelo and Korra(wich korra makes sense but really who wanted 2 Meelo comics???) not even one panel of Mako or Bolin who are 2 of the main characters of the whole series😭 disappointing
