      Love Korra, season 3 and 4 are bangers!
      But PLEASE consider watching My Hero Academia Dub (basically Harry Potter but with super heroes, but better!), and Hunter x Hunter Dub!
      Please let us know if it’s possible one day. They are so much more fun than Death Note and Attack on Titan for example.

    I always felt Lin is just a bit of an abrasive personality in general. It isn't just toward Korra, she is tough and strong. Toph use to show affection by punching someone in the arm and teasing them. Lin is just a bit more serious I think. Plus though she got her bending back from Korra and obviously appreciated it, that doesn't just completely flip her personality. As for Mako, I think since he expressed how much he was worried and feared for Korra in last season maybe he was trying to be gentle with her, only for it not to work.

    I honestly think Korra and Mako should never got together. It was more of a lust or wanting something they couldn't have? We also have to remember this team avatar is older and live in a time of peace and not world war so everyone is comfortable. Pudgey hit the nail on the head when she said everyone is going their own way and doing as their own stuff we see that this season but we also see team avatar come back when needed. Can't wait for you to continue because from here it goes to 100 everytime now that all the ground work is set.

    It’s not so much that Lin has reverted back to her old self but she does have a job to do as Chief and now has to deal with the repercussions of what Korra started. Not to mention being interrupted while in an important meeting with the president by a rookie cop. Also don’t forget, she did give Mako a job. Old Lin never would of let him on the force

  • @Alice_Tiburcio
    @Alice_Tiburcio Год назад +36

    I like that Lin didn't suddenly change her whole personality. She is who she is. She's Toph's daughter after all. But I do think she acts a bit softer towards them. She would never have hired Mako or told that little joke about Tenzin breaking up with her otherwise, just to use some examples. I've never seen her as a "best friend" to them but as a mom. Hear me out on this... lol She is more protective of them now in that way moms are, but she gets frustrated when they do dumb things... as moms do.

      Yes, it's weird to expect her to undergo a complete and total transformation of character - she will always be stern, it's part of who she is. Apparently Sparta doesn't mind strong female characters turning into simps! But as you point out, she has allowed herself to relax to the point where she could joke about her failed personal relationship - and she had previously kept it secret, kept it safe

    So, let's make it clear. When Mako goes with the dirtiest move possible, one that you can tell even he understands deep down to be wrong, to suck up to the person in power and promote his career - that's him "staying true to himself"? And also, it's ok to betray your significant other if she was personally difficult a couple of times? And also, it's Bolin who's somehow a rat for not covering up for his brothers bs? Gottcha!

      Idk, I don't like Mako at all but I do think he was in an impossible position there. Maybe its just because I really hate lying but it makes sense to me. The president asked him a direct question. Career aside, even if he hadn't been a cop, telling the truth is objectively the right and moral thing to do there. Maybe not volunteering the information unasked, but admitting what you know when asked makes sense. But on the other side, Korra had every right to blow up at him over that and he should have just listened because yeah, he did the right thing but he also betrayed her trust.

    • @Orimthekeyacolite
      @Orimthekeyacolite Год назад +1

      @@saffronique as someone who tends to be blunt and brutally honest myself, I don't think the word "lying" applies here. If you're captured and interrogated by the enemy forces - are you under any moral obligation to answer, just because "they ask a direct question"? I mean, it's literally written into the law, in most modern civilized countries, that noone has to give testament which would compromise them. And by the way, I wouldn't say the Presidents question even is a direct one, it's more of a general "is there some information you wish to volunteer"?
      There are definitely arguments, political rather than moral, to justify Mako's behaviour, which I'm sure he came up with later as a form of backwards rationalization. But in the moment, to me it seems pretty obvious in his manner, he knows himself that he's doing the wrong thing - and does it anyway

    • @saffronique
      @saffronique Год назад +1

      @Orimthekeyacolite I don't think the president of the city Mako lives in is enemy forces... personally I believe he did the hard thing but the right thing, even though I still don't like his choice. Like I would have preferred for him NOT to do the right thing here, but I also would not have been able to withhold the truth in that situation. I'd feel guilty as hell, but I wouldve done the same thing and hated myself for it. But I also definitely don't care enough about Mako to get heated over it, and I definitely understand your perspective.

    Korra is right about being mad (though getting physical is never right ofc), her entire family could die bc Mako interfered. She is just going through stressful times, instead of being understanding, Mako is fighting fire with fire now. He should have just said "I am on your side, just tell me how you feel and let's talk about it.". The way they both are and their personalities are, they do not match each other at all, it seems more like a lust type of relationship you have when you are a teen. They would be better off as friends.

      I love Varrick, I rate him as one of the show's most constantly engaging character. I do not however love the writers for resetting Korra to the same rash and impulsive, naive and self-centred Korra who started last season. But what I do not like most of all, what ranks high on my "I don't like what they've done here" list, are the liberties they have taken with Avatar lore; the way they take a box-cutter to the lore, slash it into pieces, kick some to the kerb and fit the remaining pieces into a random new pattern then tape it all up with duct/gaffer tape. Still, Varrick is great :)

    Nah, neither Mako nor Bolin was wrong here. Bolin had no way of knowing Mako would be confronted by the president. And Mako... while yes, it can also be seen as a betrayal, honestly i admire his courage. Because that couldn't have been a decision he made lightly. This is one of the reasons i enjoyed LoK so much. Like atla, a lot of it hits home in that in some situations, like this one, there is a LOT of grey. Mako wasn't wrong in telling president raiko. Korra wasnt wrong for being upset. Now, had Korra asked mako directly herself to NOT tell anybody, that may be different. This is one of those experiences where you as an individual can do everything right and still lose.

    Looking back at this episode as an adult, I think this is what really made me dislike Korra this season. As snakey as Raiko is, he is right. Korra's temper and hot-headness was just about to escalate this civil war into a much larger conflict. It's one thing to negotiate and ask for aid but when that didn't work she tried to FORCE Republic City into a war without consent from their leader. Mako should've tried to stop Korra one more time before going to Raiko, but frankly him foiling her plan was the best thing he could've done for her...🤷‍♀️

    Honestly, the thing I hate the most about book 2 is the character assassination of Lin. Frankly, Korra, at least in the first half, isn't too far behind her.
    I understand that book one was initially supposed to be the only one so they had to "reset" some of these characters but they did it in the worst way possible.

      Nobody is "reset". Your understanding of these characters is just off.

      That's not what character assassination means

      ​@vgfunman no they are not. Her character in book 2 is completely antithetical to her character in book 1. They turned her into a bumbling idiot that couldn't see clear as day evidence right in front of her face and kept trusting the two most blatantly corrupt and idiot cops on the force. It's bullshit. Plain and simple.
      And all of Korras spiritual and personal growth was thrown out the window. They made her even angrier and impulsive than she was in book 1!

      Lin respects action over anything - Mako had to prove himself to her.
      As for Korra, what about her personal growth was "thrown out the window"? She learned to be self sacrificial, which directly impacts her arc in this season.
      And then...why would Korra in Book 2 be less impulsive when her impulsivity is what won the day in the previous finale? The entire reason she was able to expose Amon was by literally being impulsive, ignoring General Iroh's advice to wait and meeting Tarrlok exactly because of that.
      So yea, she would be *more* impulsive as a result because that character trait came in clutch and got proven right in that instance lol

      @@gamingeagle19 I also found it hard to believe that previously streetwise Mako would have fallen for the bumbling cops' telling him it's ok to walk unannounced into a meeting between the chief of police and the mayor - their demeanour should have alerted the suspicion of even Inspector Clouseau, but common sense should have alerted him first. Dumbing down like Lin and Mako characters so the plot can progress is just lazy writing. Bolin started off kinda dumb to begin with, so his dumbing down has made him a complete clown.
