As much as I love Bolin, he was a let down as far as character development went, and I partially blame that on Makorra. He's never treated as anything more than the one-liner guy. His heartbreak was treated like a joke, and suddenly he's over it in a couple of episodes, and we never once saw him struggling with his feelings of getting over it. Even in the end of the finale, he was pushed back as the joke guy when he tried to cheer up Korra about how she still had her airbending. He feels second best to his brother, so how does Bryke treat that? Of course they let Mako have the limelight in just about every episode because he's the golden boy.

It's a real shame considering how much potential Bolin had, and shows that 'nice guy's do finish last' in this series. Even if he'll have character development in season 2 (most hopefully), it really doesn't excuse how he was treated in book 1.
