"We are bonded forever" I get instant chills everytime I watch that scene
FELT... Same.
And the "We will be together for all of your lifetimes."
@@Galiant2010 Yes! That part as well 🥹
honestly, even after watching this billionth reaction it still hits the same! such amazing writing mixed with og avatar instrumentals just gives me the goosebumps!
@@modelotimefooooo1853 Same!!
One thing you've got to remember about him choosing to help Vaatu when he saw the two fighting is that he didn't come from a world with Christianity's iconography, so the association of colors between good and evil is a wholly foreign concept here. Wan just saw two spirits fighting and helped the first one that asked.
Oh that’s actually an interesting idea. I know for a fact that regardless of upbringing we associate colours with different feelings, but I wonder how much that seeps into other things. Colours may not have anything to do with good vs evil as you say for someone like Wan. I know that at the very least he may have felt peace for blue and passion for red but otherwise all he had to go off was Vaatu’s word.
@@thecocoacouch To further this idea, if anything I imagine that the red colors spoke to him, only being a firebender at that time.
😂😂😂.. Idk.
It doesn't take a genius to see who's good and who is evil.
The Air Benders knew.
@@thecocoacouch especially considering the fire nation have an affinity for the colour red
@@thecocoacouch As a small correction, people associate colours with random things, there is nothing inherent about colours and what they mean to people. Black, purple and lilac are connected to mourning in large parts of Europe, but white is in many Asian countries.
The associations between colours and how people feel when looking at them is cultural more than biological. Colours have an effect on mood for sure, but it's not as simple or universal as many people think.
I love the parallels to aang here. When Roku told him about the comet he had a year to master the elements. Wan had a year to prepare for Vaatu as well. And Roku tells him “for you have done it before”.
I love the detail where for any other human the lionturtles act as protection from the spirits, but the airnomads, carefree and spiritual as they are, invited spirits to live among them on the lionturtle. Because if you dont threaten them they're not hostile
The avatar origins episodes are the saving grace of this season. True artistic masterpieces :D
I think the whole season was great. Except for the first 3 episodes
This season really is not bad I just think the main issue is that they originally were only going to get 1 seasons then once that was developed they got green lit for s2 so they had to do more world building and try and develop the other characters more, and didn’t know if another season was coming so couldn’t originally have story lines over lapping in to the other so had to wrap them up , they just had to big of a 3:18 job for not enough episodes, Nickelodeon really fucked them over. Aangs story and co could to be planned over 3 books so they new the beginning and the finish result but with lok they didn’t have that luxury aswell as having issues with the animation studios , but overall it’s still good and it shows character growth, I love how it shows Korra falling back into old habits as that’s more realistic u don’t suddenly become perfect and u may fall back a bit but it’s literally only in the first 3 eps the rest she’s fine , also tenzins character dilemma was very interesting how the pressure of who he thinks he should be .
Eh i think season 2 has a lot of highs just a handful of lows too
Bad take I like this season
Book 2 would have been much better if we didn’t had this whole acting stuff of Bolin and the boring love triangle between Mako, Korra and Asami. More focus on the actual plot of this book would have been way better
Beginnings part 1 & 2 are S tier episodes. They are some of my favorite episodes out of both series
I almost forgot Verrick was a shady mofo
I had no idea about this season being so controversial/unloved when I first watched LOK. Upon my first binge of the show, S2 was actually my fav! I watched everything so quickly that I didn't have time to really analyze everything, I was in awe with some of the ideas and the lore. Obviously, now that I have rewatched it a few times, I have picked up on quite a lot of writing and pacing flaws, but I personally still love this season more than the first one. The spirit world, the Avatar origin, and Tenzin's development as a brother, a father and a teacher... love it.
It’s mainly due to a certain moment later in the series. However it would have been way better if it actually focused more on the plot. I really dislike the Bolin acting stuff and the love triangle once again like in book 1
I think it was unloved because the lore no longer matters- they killed The Avatar as a source of ancient wisdom and power, including the spirit of Aang who we were all still kind of invested in even though Korra was the new kid on the block. Felt like a slap in the face. Yes, it raises the stakes by not having the previous Avatars to look to for help and advice, but at the same time it lowers the stakes when Korra is more powerful than all of the other Avatars put together and just sort of wins.
If I'm being told through the actions of the writers that "ATLA was the story of The Avatar- LoK is killing that all off in favor of a story about this other girl" comes off like mean-spirited Fanfic.
This is my exact experience with this season and show!!
😂😂.. Should have seen the reviews when it first aired.
The hatred this season got was legendary. Especially the second half. Avatar Wan's episodes were the only highlight, and Tenzin's family.
Lin's character was just, there. And for some reason she wasn't even behaving the same way she was in season 1.
Asami's troubles was.. Eh.
This season was just trash tbh.
SAME OMG
The story of Avatar Wan is really the true highlight of this season. It was super controversial when it first aired, and still has a bit of controversy to this day, but is generally beloved. S2 as a whole is a bit meh though, but S3 is PEAK. Cannot WAIT to see your reactions to it.
the controversy of Wan's story is that for some people it seemingly contradicts how humans became benders. They believe that in ATLA humans gained bending by learning from the moon/dragons/bison/badgermoles, and that the Lion Turtles giving humans the power to bend goes against this.
In actuality, it doesn't.
You have to think of it like bending being a sword. Any old Joe could buy a sword from a shopkeeper (gain bending from a Lion Turtle) and swing it about; however, to wield it effectively, you need a mentor to teach you (the moon/dragons/bison/badgermoles).
I heard somewhere that the creators wanted to include the Wan story in avatar the last airbender but they couldn't find a way to include it. I'm glad they saved it for Korra because it's one of my favorite episodes of season and the whole Korra series 😊
As always, great reaction Oscar! Can't wait for you to watch the rest of the series
I wish Raava and Vaatu weren't the spirit embodiments of Good and Evil. It makes the Avatar feel both grand and generic.
Vaatu is locked away, yet evil is still prevalent in the worlds. Raava is supposed to be the spirit of good, yet all the good the Avatar does just causes more evil.
It would have been better if it was just an ancient spirit who fused with Wan. Not the embodiment of Good, just a really powerful spirit.
@travisgames6608 Rava specifically says she's light and peace and Vatu dark and chaos...but what that means to a specific person may be different.
Those concepts aren't necessarily good and/or evil. And I wish the creators delved deeper into that, as balance is the over arching theme for the entire series.
@@ionryful i mean.. You don't get more "good" than light and peace or "evil" than darkness and chaos.
Pretty self explaining tbh.
That's why I wish that wasn't the case.
@travisgames6608 I mean the next 2 villains personified this, the Red Lotus with chaos and anarchy and Kuvira with peace through control.
@@ionryful one epic, one poor.
I love learning the begging of the Avatar! I love how it shows you the same spirit is in all of them. Their personalities may be different. They’re likes and dislikes, but they are the same in their core. The same love of adventure and care for others. The same feistiness and determination. And the same drive to do better especially once they understand what is at stake. And it helps you to see the biggest reason the Avatar is so different to everyone else. They literally are bound to the Light Spirit, Raava. They are human and spirit. So good!
i really appreciate that you're so in touch with your emotions and the way you react with a series, reflecting and admitting that you were being a little harsher than you meant to be is super admirable and great to see :-)
Avatar Wan's story might be one of the best stories I've ever heard/seen... it's amazing.
Avatar Wan "was also the first vegetarian" 🌿😂
I think the air nomads were vegetarian before him
i am so glad for what you said about only comparing them in a way to highlight the unique features of each in a positive light. most of the critiques just boil down to either the person not liking having different characters, or pacing issues (which, from my understanding mostly are due to the network toying with how many seasons and episodes and whatnot there would be. like iirc season 1 was supposed to be standalone originally)
and they ignore the unique charm, good writing, and insane animation/score upgrades in LoK.
plus teenage drama (while not for everyone) is always fun- and there’s a lot more adult drama, too, which i appreciate more i think than a lot of shenanigans plot lines.
Season 2 is generally regarded as the worst of the four seasons of Korra, but it's still pretty good in my opinion, and I think it's home to the best two episodes in the entire series. Episodes 7 and 8 are a bit controversial, but I don't see any problems with them myself. The negative opinions toward the Avatar Wan flashback episodes usually feel that it contradicts existing canon about the origin of bending and the spirit world, but I see it as more of an interesting expansion on the existing lore. Some people claim that the concept of the lion turtle cities granting humans the ability to harness the elements throws away AtLA's stories of the original benders being the Moon and Ocean spirits, the Badgermoles, the Dragons, and the Sky Bison, but we still see this happening in Wan's training montage, with him receiving instruction in the Dancing Dragon form directly from a Dragon. The way I see it, AtLA gives us a vague concept of ancient humanity learning to bend from these natural creatures and spirits, while Korra expands on this lore by describing the difference between simply throwing fire at someone and channeling it through a series of precise, focused techniques. Humans may have received the ability to manipulate the elements from the Lion Turtles, but they were still taught how to bend them by the creatures with the natural instinct to do so. It's the difference between flailing at someone with a stick and mastering the art of swordsmanship.
exactly! so many people claim that won's story contradicts what we were told in atla but it totally doesn't lol i think most people haven't watched lok in so long that they forget that won learns from natural creatures as well! it's such a great expansion of the avatar lore and i love that we finally got an origin story!
*Avatar Wan's origin story is so beautifully constructed! the music, the lines, the animation, the end of his life and regret that he didnt have more time... just hits me EVERY SINGLE TIME! I cannot wait for u to hit season 3 brooooo! its insane!!!!!!!*
"I miss Momo" Me too, Cocoa Couch guy, me too.
THE WAY YOU SAID "Korra's definitely the big spoon" IMMEDIATELY AFTER I THOUGHT IT ACTUALLY KILLED ME
I just love watching all of your reactions. You're just so full of life and seem like a very positive person. Keep it up, mate! ❤
I just noticed that Wan's friends were playing Pai-sho when Wan showed them his fire-bending
"Yeah, Korra is definitely the big spoon" HAHAHAHAHA I can't, your comment cracked me up so much mate! it's sooo true hahaha
Those two beginnings episodes are chef kiss, a literal masterpiece
"yeah, Korra's definitely the big spoon" got me bad, i can't stop giggling about it
Low key what u said about being able to live longer desensitizes ppl bc Kioshi loved the longest out of anyone about 200 years old. N we all know she’s a cut throat boss B.
In the books it seems like she’s not that cold hearted. So maybe she got that way over the long years.
🤷🏽♂️
Well it's an admitted fact that her being 200+ years old was a mistake when writing the lore of ATLA. However instead of retconning this, they wrote 4 whole books to tell the story of Kyoshi, which includes information on her long life.
I didn’t notice until recently that korra was water bending and then doing fire bending that must of taken a lot of concentration and skill
I always thought about the lion turtles as angels. They r the protectors of humanity and the planet and also spirits/souls.
Avatar Wan is one of my favorite characters ever! 😍🔥💕
Loved that you got to these episodes! I think you’ll continue to love the rest of the show!
26:00 “my name is Mark, and I’ll tell you how I became…….” *blood splats* 😂
37:00 looks like a ‘flyin’ turtle 😏
29:30 THE PARALLELES MAANN I love it
Wan sounded like "one". Its like his name meant for being the "first" Avatar.
The avatar origin story is definitely the highlight of this season. On another note for a lot of the mistakes Mako makes this season, I think he made the right move in breaking up with Korra, their relationship was far too toxic for them to stay together.
This is also why the avatar cycle goes in a certain order. Fire, air, water, earth. B/c that is the order in which he visited the lion turtles and got his powers
I think that is also the natural cycle of elements
Yes, the fire nation was the first to come about maybe that's why their so ambitious not to mention intituled😅
You 32:18 saying he was also the first vegetarian made me laugh 😂🤣
Avatar Wan story is my absolute fav part haha
15:33 that comment came out of nowhere LMAO
here in 4 minutes is insane
Always enjoy your reactions and insightful commentary 😊
21:04 WE WERE IN A BREAK!
I didn’t like this twist of having Rava basically posses people to “stabilize” the avatar. I would have preferred them having a special “chosen” that comes to the world when the avatar dies. And that person through discipline and training stabilizes and becomes able to control the avatar state.
Lets not forget that Bolin (the best character) has also done sexual assault. It wasnt malicious, it was him being stupid, but that doesnt make it less weird.
Sending my condolences regarding the recent events to everyone affected by them 😔 Glad to see you uploading reactions, hope that everything is fine in your surroundings
Thankyou. I just heard. So tragic 😔
what happened?😥
@@regenerator9968 stabbing attack in Sydney, in shopping centre
Oh no, im behind. What happened? 😟
@@deranged_dragon9471 It might be the stabbing that was today? Six people di*d i belive. I could be wrong, but i believe CocoaCouch is Australian and the top story of today is about that...
I’m one that watched all 4 seasons of Korra while it was airing and came out with a largely negative experience. I’m a huge lover of the original series and I wanted so much to love Korra in the same way. I always felt like I loved Korra and Tenzin, but so many other characters just kinda fell flat and the story just failed to capture me. BUT, it has been QUITE some time since my first watch through. I don’t watch Korra super often so I’ve seen the series maybe 3 times over the last many years. As I’ve matured, I’ve tried to take a more nuanced and positive approach to the series. And what you said about comparing the two shows was something I was definitely guilty of. It’s great to be able to see Korra for what makes it unique and fun. There are still a lot of things about it that irritate me and that I’ll probably never quite come around to, but it’s great to now appreciate this origin story what it is. I enjoy all your reactions, but thanks for watching Avatar and Korra! It’s been a blast to watch along.
Beginnings are two of my favourite episodes in both series
The stakes in season 2 are insanely high
Thank you for pointing out Bolins sexual assult! A lot of people laughed in the reaction and I was shocked!
here for eps 7 & 8, see y'all in season 3! lol
It was about god damn time
One of my favorite episodes
25:04 That's the voice of Serena Williams by the way!
The episodes about Wan, in my opinion, are two of the best episodes in the series. I'm always interested in watching them again, whereas a lot of other episodes I'd hop over on rewatch.
So, I have a theory about the lion turtle Aang in the finale of the last Airbender, what if that was the same lion turtle that Wan used to live on?
What you said about human lifespans calls back to an age-old predicament from DnD of elves who fall in love with humans. Because elves live hundreds of years without aging much at all once they reach maturity and it can be hard for them to watch generations of humans go on without the ones they loved.
"Who looks at a dark spirit and goes that's the good one?". USA police sure would have gotten this one right.
☠️ my guy. Lol!
Avatar Wan's story is incredible
It's crazy to think the old lady at the end was actually azula from Avatar The last airbender
I had to look this up and it’s just a theory. I’d honestly be super disappointed with the writing if they shoe horned a huge character from ATLA without making it a bigger deal like they did with Iroh.
And we're back!
It's impossible for me to listen to the fire lionturtle and not hear Winnie the Pooh doing a deep voice ☺ I had to check after my first watch and it is definitely Jim Cummings hehe
The creators actually intended to put Wan's story in ATLA but they couldn't find a way to naturally put it in as there was no real purpose for his presence and they had to focus on finishing up as well as dealing with Nickelodeon's meadeling plus limited run time.
Many were confused by the lion turtles being the ones to give them bending in Korra saying it was a retcon. After watching ATLA most everyone had the notion people learnt bending from the Dragons, Skybison, Bager Moals, the moon and ocean and that's the origin of bending but if u look back there is absolutely no evidence for this.
People observed and learnt the techniques from already experienced benders Dragons...etc. and applied those to their bending.
-Toph said she LEARNT earth bending by WATCHING the Bager Moles not that the gave her the ability, same with Airbenders and the Bisons.
-Yua told us that her ancestors WATCHED the moon push and pull the tides then applied the technique.
-Wan was the first to learn from the dragons and it IMPROVED his bending.
-Not to mention that the only time bending is mentioned to be given or we see bending being bestowed on someone in ATLA it was always associated with the LionTurtles. Their the ones we actually see give a bending ability in the O.G. that being giving Aang ability to Energy Bend.
So, for anyone and everyone ✨NO ITS NOT A RETCON✨
I know this was a bit ago.. but you're allowed to not like everything and you don't always have to feel upbeat
Hell yes! I was waiting for the next video reacting to Korra. in the meantime i watched Korra through myself, there was one ep that was hard to watch ;_; but its good!!
Thanks for the drop i needed something to watch
My requests (if you've not seen them): The Others, The Sixth Sense, One Hour Photo.
Wan's Story was the point where the korra serie got me
"I love how much wonder is in his character" don't you mean... WANder? 🤣
I am so here for this!!!
14:00 they can enter the avatar world because Korra opened one of the gates to it.
31:15 I wanted to say the before you said it.
21:04 at least hes single this time lmao
2 things: 1) you really don’t need to apologise if you criticise some plot points or story arcs more than others, or justify how you perceived them in the moment 💜
2) I’m soo excited you reached Wans arc as the first Avatar!! I was blown away by it the first time I watched it. Fun fact - I recently started learning Chinese, and the word for 10.000 is actually pronounced VERY similarly to „wan“ as well
like in Wan Shi Tong; he who knows 10,000 things?
Yes! Wan shi tong 万事通 is actually a mandarin phrase that means „all knowing“, or literally „knowing 10.000 things“ 👀 so in this case Wan doesn’t just sound like the word 10.000, wan/万 literally means 10.000
Raava and Vaatu get a LOT of hate for their introduction, but the way the other Avatar's encouraged Korra to connect to Raava means that each of them, at some point, learned from Wan the origins of the Avatar spirit. We also have these few things to consider:
1. The Lion turtles, as we know, bend energy and by these episode we also know they protected the balance between humans and spirits. After they left, it is easy to assume people learned bending (and thus claimed their origin) from other creatures.
2. While it is easy to characterize Raava as light and Vaatu as darkness (yin and yang), it is not so. Raava is balance and Vaatu chaos. By binding with Raava, the Avatar became keeper of the peace, bridging the Spirit and physical worlds and restraining the influence of chaos.
3. To say this overwrote ATLA is shortsighted. Aang restored balance to an imbalanced world. He was given energy bending from the lion turtles, which we see them use. Just because our understanding changed doesn't mean the new understanding is wrong
4. It is interesting that the sages of each element know of harmonic convergence and, by relation, the origin of the Avatar. And the sage used FIRE to detect the spiritual presence within Korra
wooooooo...so basically light and dark over a mask
your just restating everything
the fire sages emphasize that "Fire is Life, not destruction", and yeah while Raava and Vaatu present themself ast light and darkness, they aren't shown as 'good' or 'evil' , as shown by Raava and Vaatu both underestimating Wan as a human, but Raava gets more character developement as she gets smaller and weaker, while Vaatu's pride and cunning only grows bigger with him.
Ok but point #2 is entirely contradicting because Raava literally says she is light and Vaatu is dark, and everyone regards Vaatu as evil, Vaatu acts as evil, etc. I think the criticism is valid especially when they are visual representations of yin-yang yet the narrative very clearly wants us to side with Raava because she is "good" and that is not at all what the concept of yin-yang is about. It'd be more forgiving if Raava was an unreliable narrator, but this isn't the case.
It's fine to like the story but people try to paint this as a nuanced backstory that makes sense of the world that comes to be when in reality it has weak relation to the Avatar world that we were introduced to in the first series (Korra never got a chance with spirits until this season) and even some side material and is only recognizable with the bit of Eastern mythology/history that they did decide to keep in.
@@bch7905 Yeah, I see the fallacy. I simply feel that, while season 2 was terrible, the lore wasn't as bad as people make it out to be.
Wow see How he acquire the element fire air water last the earth
Love you and your videos your reactions and commentary love your channel.
Your videos always make me happy.
Pls react to damsel, pacific rim 2, a quiet place 1&2, no escape,world war z, the impossible, escape room 1&2.
YES MY FAV EPISODES
Where is the cup from🤔
honestly I always felt like the issues between Mako and Korra were mostly her fault. she made assumptions about Mako's intentions when he really was trying to help her, she couldn't communicate what she actually needed him to say or do for her, and it's understandable that he would get frustrated by her making him feel like a jerk or an idiot just for saying what she didn't want to hear. she was just being really immature at this point in their relationship. everyone always blames Mako because of the cheating stuff, but let's be real -- a 17 year old kid who's never really dated anyone before suddenly has two of the most gorgeous and powerful women in the world trying to date him? come onnn, I'd be confused as heck too lmao how do you even choose??? things are rocky for now, but I really like how it turns out in the end.
I mean she's been let down by so many people, she's obviously gonna have trust issues
Plus Mako didn’t really want to cheat sure u can argue he said stuff that made Korra want to kiss him but Korra still initiated it. And Mako then kissed Asami after their break up which is weird but not wrong.
Conflict in Korra: Northern water tribe attempting to restore the southern tribe, southern don't like it, northern use force, civil war breaks out. Republic city refuses to get involved or take sides so there is talk of getting the fire nation involved to support the south. Big industries are capitalising on the war and even intentionally escalate it. etc etc
Conflict in ATLA: Fire nation bad.
The conflict in ATLA is much more nuanced than that lol. There're many episodes that showcases the complexities within the fire nation, even an entire episode dedicated to it.
And it's mostly just about the pov you follow through the narratives that makes the biggest difference anyway.
@@Celeborn93 I know, I'm exagerating the simplicity of it for comic effect
@@mezz09smezzanine Yeah i got it, it just felt derivative from an actual complaint that i hear often, and it's usually pretty baseless.
@@Celeborn93 In this case it was more derived from him saying during this episode that Korra conflicts are way more complex than ATLA, which does seem true on the surface level. It's only when you dig deeper that you see the politics that led to the fire nation truely believing that the world would be better off with them just ruling everything. When you look at Long Feng, the division around the earth kingdom, the rampant poverty in small towns and the lower ring of ba sing se and the sexism in the northern water tribe and compare it to the prosperity, internal equality and technology of the fire nation I can see why they would think everyone else is doing it wrong, but wiping everyone else out is probably not the solution. Besides, I'm under the impression that before Avatar Szeto they had a lot of these issues themselves...
So yeah, there is complexity to the "Fire nation bad" but that is a lot less funny as a comparison
I love your reaction legend of Korra
yoo you want to get into a talk about living for eternity? you gotta watch beyond journeys end :o amazing anime, also saw you started Arcane, youll love The legend of Vox machina is you like arcane XD
Aaaand now you're over the hump. Book 2 ramps up starting with "Beginnings" and finishes strong. Unalaq is still a boring shitty villain, but some amazing shit is about to go down. Dunno how far ahead you are on Patreon, but I'm guessing you've seen some of the good stuff. ;) Enjoy!
React Murder Drones, please? 💖
Ohhhh he better
You make me remember Jackthebus
how is he supposed to know the red one is the evil one?
You don’t have to apologize for your opinion, even if it’s negative 👍
Oscar! I have been waiting for you to see this!
When i first saw the origins of the Avatar, and bending I was shook.
I am actually basiing my LOK tattoo design on the "we are bonded forever" scene
Love the fellow Aussie representation on yt as well :D
It's sweet you apologized but 1. It's your channel. 2. I don't think you said anything near as harsh as what SO MANY have been to korra. It's a rough season, everyone knows it.
Lotsa drama to get the characters where they need to be for season 3. But it gets the work done.
But Bolin and Varik and Asami and Zhu Li and Wan and Jinori are definitely the stars for my this season.
It's interesting. I think these are both the best and worst episodes in season 2. As a contained story it's well done and I love the art style. Wan's a great guy. Buuutttt. It does kind of impose a very Western Christian Good vs Evil moral framework on what has, until this point, been a series based on East Asian, non-dualistic philosophy. Like, Raava and Vaatu are very Yin-Yange coded. Only instead of balance being harmony between the two it's Raava defeating Vaatu. I'm not a fan of that, personally. Still! Glad you're enjoying the series and love your reactions to it.
Yoo you should definitely watch murder drones, that series is insanely good!!!! Its made by liam Vickers, and its on the Glitch channel
plealse please please react to ' Fallout' its one of my fav gameing franchise , if you loved Arcane, you will love Fallout but it is abit gorey :P
Will you react to the rest of ATLA live action??
❤❤
How you doing
I always hated that Mako wouldn't risk his job for Korra but would for Asami
💙
FAR OUT 😆
A neat retcon is when Roku told Aang that he can master the elements within a year (less than 12 months) “For you have done it before” I like to think he is talking about Wan doing it in about a year. Also the Avatar cycle is based on the order Wan obtains the elements. So the first avatar was a fire bender.
You really hope Korra doesn’t suffer too much…
Oh boy… you have no idea.
As a HUGE fan of Kora I have to admit season 2 is the single worse season of all season of Avatar across the board. The development of Kora took steps backwards and the season as a whole was clunky and uneven- BUT there is good news!!
Ur getting one step closer to the single best season of any Avatar season in season 3!! Season 3 is a revelation and high quality storytelling at its best- so stay positive cuz it definitely gets way better and the best is yet to come!!!
Idk, I think Mako trying to solve the case at his job was a lot different than him giving up Korra's plan. Korra was basically going to escalate the conflict into an all-out war. I know it was from a good place, but it was kinda wild ngl. I kinda hate that that whole setup because it makes Korra far more aggressive than I think she would be, and it turned Asami into a war profiteerer. Which I don't think is a good look for either of them. To be fair, when Mako is "on her side" in the South it was more about interpersonal conflicts with her father, uncle, Tenzin, etc. And the conflict hadn't escalated that much. It's a lot different when they make it back to Republic City. Mako is just trying to get to the truth instead of jumping to conclusions and being petty like everyone else was.
I think the breakup makes sense, tbh. But they do just make it messy all over again with that Mako-Asami kiss, which I don't think was needed at all.
