Hi Neo

I'm the original poster, and I'm not saying these things to slam Asami's character (when in fact she's one of the only characters I really like in this show and actually care about).

It's just that from a writing standpoint, when I think out of all the people in Team Avatar they should have focused more on in season 1, it should have been Asami. Why? Well why did they have to spend so much time on the bending bros when in reality they didn't contribute alot narratively to the plot of season 1. All they really were more associated with probending. In contrast to Asami, who should have been given more focus from episode 4-7. That way the whole conflict between her and her dad would have been given more nuance. Episodes 4-7....episode 5 was a waste of time on shipping and I honestly don't know what purpose it served other than detract from the Equalist storyline and made most of the characters look bad. In a shorter series the writers should have prioritized the character inteactions and what would ultimately make the storyline more well rounded. To save time and make the best of 12 episodes, they should actually emphasize the bond between Korra and Asami. Asami has alot more relevance than the brothers because she herself is a nonbender and also has a father being the ally of Amon. They should develop her relationship with her father, show her as her own character rather than introduce her and then immediately pair her off. I honestly wish Aaron Ehasz and the old writing team was involved in her storyline because it could have been more well written.

but still it's kind of amazing to realize that along with Korra, out of all of team Avatar, it's the two two ladies are economically/politically pretty influential in the ATLA world. And Lin who is also police chief. I'm glad that Asami is now free of that horrible love triangle and her unreliable boyfriend, so she can get a fresh start and focus on restoring her company's image. Also with more writers in season 2 I hope that they can see how her character can use alot of exploration because besides Korra's much needed spiritual growth, Asami being given this new responsibility is also the only storyline I'm invested in. It also can lead to more character development which is a good thing.
