Aces High posted:Alright I can understand that reasoning and I'll just say that my reasoning just goes back to my personal experiences. I already mentioned my sister but another friend I have has always been gay and I asked him if her ever liked girls and he told me that he never did, he always had an attraction to boys/guys. Likewise I will admit that I am personally hesitant for using a label like bisexual because my personal experiences with people who label themselves as such aren't people interested in exploring their sexuality but are more doing it for attention. I know you're not trying to be an rear end but never say the bolded poo poo to a bisexual,it's the bisexual equivalent (well not even equivalent they get both)of well you just haven't met right guy like people will fight you be careful.

poo poo, I'm not even the least bit in the know on the difference between gender or sex but even I know that media loooooooooooooooves to play the 'Oh she's just experimenting' card and that is cool and good as long as it's women doing it. I haven't really watched any shows in recent times but I don't think there's been a sudden explosion of 'possibly' gay dudes on TV dating other guys only for their parents to think 'Oh he's just playing around, he'll go back to being attracted to women any day now.'

You know looking back on why the show did bad in ratings, what did Nick expect moving the show to Friday nights? Its called the Friday Night Death Slot for a reason.

Well they constantly hosed with AtLA's air time, and had random huge delays between episode premiers, but it still had awesome ratings despite all that. I guess nick just assumed it was the kind of show that would get good ratings no matter what they did, so rather than crowd out popular timeslots they stuck it somewhere where they figured no other show could perform. Alternatively, everybody in a decision making position within nick has their head up there rear end.

You know, even if I think the romance plot was kind of just thrown in at the end for no reason, at least I know how gay people feel now when heterosexual love plots are shoved in for no reason.

I don't think it was thrown in at the end. Korra's been developing her friendship with Asami for a long time now, but particularly since the latter half of season 3 and all throughout this current season. It's just that they didn't really have time for actual romance in this season, so we're just shown the full blossoming of it at the end, there. I actually prefer the hand holding to a kiss, as that would have felt like they were throwing in an already-established relationship.

Finale hit all the right notes and I think everyone got a scene, they even showed tertiary character like Ikki saving Jinora. Red Lotus org should have been the villain of the first three seasons though.

The Korra/Asami relationship has been heavily foreshadowed ever we discovered Asami was the only one Korra wrote during her recovery tbh. "What no that's just because they're such tight BFFs you're reaching if you think otherwise" heh

Here's hoping some Red Lotus poo poo goes down in the (hopefully coming) comics. JT Jag posted:The Korra/Asami relationship has been heavily foreshadowed ever we discovered Asami was the only one Korra wrote during her recovery tbh. Wayyyyy before that I'm thinking it started when Asami was helping Korra after she first got poisoned. She was really there for her when everyone else was being awkward as hell about her being hurt. I don't think it starts as a relationship till the letters though. It's awkward with Mako and Bolin is well Bolin so it just comes to her writing to her and goes from there.

Honestly I'm gonna eat crow and say that this relationship was actually subtly foreshadowed in the ending of Book 3 and I just refused to see it because I couldn't believe that Nick would ever allow them to do it. I mean there's absolutely no way this was planned from the very beginning of course. I think the writers just realized that "hey, we may have given a couple of scenes romantic subtext by accident, but this is actually better than any romance we've done. Let's keep doing it." Incidentally, crow tastes loving delicious. Also the more I think about it, the more I'm glad they didn't actually show them kissing. That wouldn't feel right to me. That's just the ending scene with Katara and Aang where the hero gets the designated love interest who is their one true love forever and the kiss proves it. The end scene with Korra and Asami is the beginning of a romantic relationship, not the culmination of one. Instead of the love at first sight stuff this show (and many, many others) generally pushed in our faces, we got a friendship turning into a romance. And while that isn't always how it happens in real life, it does always feel far more natural to me than how this is normally handled. All that said, I'm really afraid that this tiny scene at the end of a solid as gently caress finale is going to be the only reason this show is remembered, and that's sad. It was a drat good show.

They totally have their first kiss a few days later in the Spirit Realm though. Probably while having a picnic under the Tree of Time.

JT Jag posted:Agreed actually. I think it's safe to assume that, yes. But really neither of them have ever been in a same sex relationship before, and I doubt Korra has even considered it until recently. The way their scenes together play out makes it seem like Asami was in to Korra before Korra was in to Asami. Korra was too busy with being poisoned and crippled and being the Avatar to really go there, until quite recently. They're not gonna jump right in to it.

This is in no way a Nickelodeon flagship cartoon, and hasn't been since they moved season 2 to the Friday Night Death Slot.VanSandman posted:Speculating on the way a romance between fictional women would play out: I'm happy speculating about anything else from the end, like say the eventual fate of the new Earth Federation (clearly where the cyber punk third Avatar series will take place). But this mainly seems to be what people want to talk about and I'm ok speculating about that, too. It's ok to talk about aspects of the show that tumblr and fanfiction.net have talked about. We don't have to worry about ritual pollution or something.
