And to be honest, I find that kind of a damaging message that every single show and movie falls back on (do good, get rewarded with the person you want), and this show really didn't need to. Mako and Asami were a good couple. There could have been something to Korra getting past her first crush and moving on. A certain level of maturity to that aspect of the show that would have gelled better with the tone set at the beginning.
Even if it needed to be kept, it got way too rushed. As you say, it happened right on the heels of Makko being told to give her space.
And the "zoom, congrats, you have your bending back" moment was equally cheap. Disappointingly so. And I understand, they thought they were only going to have one season to tell the story in, but it's still kind of a shame. I have to admit, what I was hoping for, hell, expecting at this point, was that yes, she would lose her bending, and the second season would start with her having to connect to her more spiritual side to regain it. Aang had to meditate to speak with the past Avatars, and he was already a very spiritual kid. Korra just...cried a bit.

(Anonymous) 2012-07-07 06:40 am (UTC)(link)So much this. I hate that whenever a show has a female protagonist, it seems like at least one of two things has to happen (often both):
1. At least two guys (sometimes more) are throwing themselves at her, even if they have zero actual chemistry together.
2. She always, ALWAYS gets exactly who she wants in the end, regardless of any competition/challenges that might be present. ...Which is not necessarily bad, but it would be refreshing if, for a change, there was a situation in which the heroine realized that the first guy she has a major crush on is not necessarily the best guy for her and that he may, in fact, be the best guy for a different girl, or he may be an all-around jerk, I don't know, but my point is that the heroine shouldn't necessarily ALWAYS get exactly what she wants.
