@Merida: Well to be fair, Asami has only been created as shipping fodder for Iroh II by the fandom, Bryke really didn't do anything to hint at them being a romantic couple. And I wouldn't have categorized Bolin as shipping fodder, particularly since any romantic storyline with him was over by epi 5 (again, more created by the fandom than anything else). I would classify him more as comic-relief guy. Not a very deep role at all, but still different than a shipping magnet. Love triangles do happen in real life (i've seen many) and a lot of the time, they end up a lot worse than what was exhibited in the show. But I do agree with you on the point that they should've just had Makorra and not created the love triangle. It would've given more room for character development and less focus on the romance issue. In theory, it wasn't a bad idea, but based on the time constraints, Bryke bit off a little more than they could chew.
