This is when I figured out Mako's deal. He might be a stoic, he might be a screwup, but he'll lay down on a bed of nails if it means keeping everyone else safe. A true bro.

[@matthewbrown5464]

MariktheGunslinger I wouldn't say he's a "screwup", but I definitely liked his character development throughout the show. He goes from being someone who tries so hard to do right by everyone but still fails due to somewhat innocent mistakes that a lot of people would make in his situations, to being someone who allows himself to be inspired by those around him and trust them enough to not feel like he's absolutely responsible for everyone out of love. But he never stops being that guy who will lay down his life for those around him

You think that modifying the way people's body works with bloodbending so they can't bend any more and making the general populace strive to exterminate those with bending isn't evil, while secretly being the only person left who can literally kill people by bloodbending a clot in their head, or even being able to physically make a person murder someone else without leaving any evidence? You REALLY don't see that as evil?

@@LargeMollyWater177 same

[@XpVersusVista]

@@LargeMollyWater177 if you love korra more than the last airbender you are probably still relatively young, am i right? nothing against you if you are, i was young once too :) the reason most older people like the last airbender over korra is that TLA characters were all far more mature and balanced. Korra characters were all half child and half teenagernor adult. just look at beifong or tensen. tensen is the worst split-personality type i have ever witnessed. on the one hand he is supposed to be the leader of a nation, the son and trainee of Aang, and on the other hand he is wrong about pretty much everything he says, especially in season two, and also has an extremely childish attitude about his responsibilities. to adults, those imbalances stand out like an adult with the right leg of a 5 year old and the left arm of a toddler. TLBs characters were far more consistent. this however doesn't mean that i don't enjoy korra, or that you should change your mind about your favorite :) by the way, mako and asami were the most adult and consistent characters. the little air bender girl who got her tattoos too. korra and tensen, followed by bolin amd beifong were the worst in that aspect.

@@qkbarbland4332 right but it was only done because of Unalaq, otherwise she could’ve kept that connection.

When season 4 started I was so hooked by its ost and I was getting hyped. Best OST by far 👍

[@floral2875]

As much as I think it would've been great if Asami got to rebuild with her father and work on Future Industries together as a family, I think his sacrifice was important. I'm glad they kept Mako, Su, and Lin alive, there was really no reason for them to die as they didn't really have any redemption arcs. I guess Lin kind of had an arc, but I think that was mainly Lin going from abrasive and brutal to slightly less abrasive and brutal lol. And y'know, as soon as Bolin found out that Kuvira was evil, he left unlike Hiroshi who never seemed to get the memo that Amon was a horrible guy and didn't really care about bending equality (he did a bit but not really)
