The "unpopularity" of Bolin is shown through how many comments his page has as opposed to the other characters. He's everybody favorite jokester but he needs a role outside of comic relief. Sure, his humor is an endearing quality but it's also a flaw. By him acting jovial in dire situations just shows how he's in complete denial of the harsh realities of life. Granted, it's understandable why. Bolin has spent the last decade on the streets encountering the worst of what life has to offer. Since the age of 6 he's kept a "child like" persona and maintaned a bubble in which everything is filled with innocence as his coping mechanism. Not even being kinapped seemed to affect him. The only thing he was traumatized by was witnessing Korra kiss his brother. Bolin had lost the one thing in the world that gave him solace; the loyal and protection of his brother. I still want Bolin to be the funny guy but a more grown up version. I'm looking forward to seeing him "find his own path" in the upcoming season(s).
