After listening to that Barnes and Nobles panel I'm really irritated.

it's really ridiculous for bryke to originally go with some cliche idea of having an "evil" father/daughter duo. Also, if they went with the idea of making Asami an antagonist, who the heck was supposed to be the nonbender whose views did not align with the Equalists? Pema, a character who isn't as prominently featured as much as characters like Korra, the bending bros and Tenzin? The Equalist revolution storyline was already poorly handled, and not really nuanced in terms of how it was portrayed.

I'm glad they ultimately did not make Asami an antagonist because wow, not only was the shipping craze and sexist comments in the fandom bad enough, but did they actually really want to justify the cheating and love triangle mess because the "other girl" was evil? How incredibly lazy. Having Asami as one of the protagonists was one of the only things that didn't piss me off in Book 1. Let's hope the writing gets alot better too.
