Yes! One of the things I loved about LoK was Korra adjusting to reality outside of Avatar Isolation Land, and learning/disregarding social norms. But that seemed to be dropped in favor of stuff...

Asami really should have run over Korra instead. I just want them to have adventures :(

Oh man, I once did this whole thought experiment on how the series would play out if she had hit Korra. It was so glorious ;_;

The more I think about it, the more it leans to acknowledging that Asami wouldn't hit Korra anyways because BENDING would prevent it.

But then the brain fanfiction starts rolling, and suddenly Asami is flying off her moped, but Korra catches her, and it is the beginning of a beautiful Korrasami friendship.

Seriously though, it would have been a more entertaining direction for me. Instead of Bolin bringing in the Mako-disapproved fangirls to tour the attic habitat of the Fire Ferrets, it's the team newbie doing that. Asami might have bonded with Korra first, and despite being rich she could actually give her some perspective of what it's like to be competent without bending. There wouldn't even need to be a love triangle episode where Korra "accepts" Asami :U

I am totally good with the beginning of a beautiful Korrasami.

It would have been SO GOOD. Okay, just picture it: Asami hits Korra with her moped. She still takes her out for dinner, although more as a friend thing than a date thing because Nickelodeon would pitch a fit, sigh. Korra meets Hiroshi and explains the Fire Ferrets' situation, and he offers to sponsor them, much to the surprise of the brothers when Korra announces it. Asami supports Korra, who's becoming her best friend. Korra, in turn, is learning about what being a non-bender in Republic City is like. Bolin crushes on Korra and they go out on a date. Korra still has feelings for Mako, but because he's not actively cheating on anyone, it's much less obnoxious to see (aside from breaking poor Bolin's heart). When the stadium is destroyed, Asami invites all three to stay at the mansion, with Korra a much more regular visitor - she and Asami, after all, are basically best friends at this point. Korra still finds evidence incriminating Hiroshi, but this time, Asami gets upset and defensive at Korra. There are NO accusations of jealousy and NO ultimatums over relationships. Hiroshi's anger is because his daughter has become friends with, like, the ultimate bender. Korra offers Asami support herself when she has to go against her father. Mako's concern when Korra is captured and then recovered is less obnoxious because he's not actively ignoring his girlfriend to do so. And, at the end, it's Korra and Asami who go to confront Amon - because, quite frankly, when you're going up against someone who can remove bending, it helps to have someone who can fight without it going with you, AND it's an amazing demonstration that someone who has been PERSONALLY wronged by a bender is close friends with the Avatar and is just a perfect display and example that the rift between benders and non-benders doesn't need to be permanent and argh.

It actually works out amazingly beautifully. The Makorrans can actually keep Makorra, and it's much more palatable for others because Mako isn't cheating on anyone! There's the basis for Korrasami! And no one gets treated like shit just because their boyfriend would rather swoon over someone else!
