“Avatar: the last Airbender” concerns children; There is romance in the show, but it is always a detail of support for history. Aang (Zach Tyler Eisen) has the Beguin for Katara (Mae Whitman), Sokka (Jack de Sena) has relations with the water tribe, Princess Yue (Johanna Brady) and the warrior woman Suki (Jennie Kwan), And Prince Zuko (Dante Basco) has a relationship with May (Cricket Leigh).
“The legend of Korra” concerns young adults, that is to say people whose romantic relationships and worldly perspectives are always crystallized. Thus, “Legend of Korra” explores different political ideologies (an area where the spectacle, which is a progressive revolutionary in certain respects, is dissociating) and amplifies the soap of romantic stories.
In Book 1 of “The Legend of Korra”, Korra joins a team of athletes “promising” alongside two brothers, the Firebender Mako (David Faustino) and Earthbender Bolin (PJ Byrne). Bolin loves Korra (at the beginning), but she has only eyes for Mako. Mako, however, is more reluctant to engage; While he flirts with Korra, he also begins to go out with Asami (they meet when she accidentally crashes on his motorcycle). He ends up choosing Korra, but he doesn’t do it correctly Bring to Asami either.
In Book 2, Korra and Mako’s relationship hits the rocks and they separate into episode 5, “Peacekeepers”, they separate. Then in the following episode, “The Sting”, while Korra is absent, Asami kisses Mako on the impulse and they seem to recover together. SO Korra returns, with amnesia, having apparently forgotten that she and Mako broke, and Mako, even with Asami, does not correct it! And then it turns out that Korra remembers the breakup, she simply pretended to avoid difficult conversation.
After this exhaustion, most (but not all) were happy to see Book 2 ending with a permanent Kibosh on “Makorra” and “Masami”.
When “The Last Airbender” was broadcast, many fans have sent “Zutara”, which means that they wanted Katara and Zuko to meet. It did not happen; The series ended with Aang and Katara finally kissing, and “Legend of Korra” confirmed that they had stayed together (with three children) until the end of Aang’s life.
Many have hypothesized that Juminating Mako and Korra was a good of fans of Zutara, by joining two largely similar characters (girl in water and boy from the fight against anxious fire). But the sparks were not there and that did not help Mako is also a fairly bland character. When Korra and Mako proclaim that they love each other in the final of season 1, “endgame”, he falls flat.
