If you or anyone you know in fandom writes poetry, check this out. You may be being plagiarized. Note: Please do NOT hassle the publishing company itself. They've agreed to pull the book; we're waiting for it to come down from all the eBook sites. We still don't know the entire contents of the book, though - or who else has been stolen from (there is a clear fandom-author connection, however).

You know it's odd, but while Mako has the ingredients of an interesting character and I can tell the writers are trying their best with him.... I don't really care much for Mako at all. I honestly would only be upset if he died for BOLIN'S sake, and Korra's I guess.
IDK, I guess while I don't hate him I just like every other character more than him- Amon creeps me out- but at least he makes me -feel- something. Also Tenzin and Korra's platonic relationship is just a whole lot more interesting and deep then any of the others in the show just yet. Granted it is early days. But still I am getting the feeling any episode without Tenzin will not be a good one, not really.
I guess I like Asami more because I'm perhaps ANTICIPATING that what they'll do with her character will possibly be interesting? But with Mako... they're already trying and he just isn't to me. I don't care about him at all as a character in of himself. I'd rather hit the night on the town in Republic city with any other character, yes including the airbending kids, because while I'd probably be stressed as hell, it would still at least be interesting and not boring as all hell.
I've kind of only felt my beginnings into really liking him when he's with Asami doing rediculous couply stuff- he feels a bit more dimensional and human with it. Otherwise Mako feels like this weird miss mash of a character they are trying desperately to make cool but just... falls flat to me.
I kind of prefer Zuko TBH since I always got the impression he was sort of a bit of both a mockery as well as (oddly) homage to 'brooding' characters. His brooding is rediculous (as highlighted with the awesomeness of Iroh and how much he fails), he's not a badass, he's also a dork with girls, but his past is also something to take seriously and you felt you could take seriously eventually. Iroh was important in this and highlighted how rediculous Zuko acted, but eventually this ridiculousness became understandable it that makes sense.
I mean initially Zuko seems a bit of a joke but with The Storm and The Blue Spirit he became so MUCH MORE and it highlighted the fact that Aang and Zuko would be friends eventually. He's still a dork and utterly FAILS at being a badass for a long time (not counting the Blue Spirit itself) but it's almost something that could be said with Sokka to a certain extent- kind of comic relief initially but organically becomes something more. Granted ATLA had a lot more time to do this.
But Mako seems like a bad cliche so far, a cliche I though Zuko did a better job with in representing. Another reason apart from being a firebender/fangirls fantasy he's compared and believed to have to act exactly like him? Granted I don't WANT Mako to be Zuko 2.0 either (and he isn't) but perhaps it's another reason why Zuko is a more successful and tolerable version of the brooding character, initially because of comedy purposes, and eventually because of a combination of both comedy and actual depth. Mako just has very little which makes him genuinely fun to watch. He's a bit like FANDOM!Zuko I guess in some ways (which is about as accurate as some of Fandom!Draco to the real deal) so maybe that's why he's not really geling with me?
