<p>I still wish that they'd ditch Bolin and Mako and just have Korra and Asami on the show... And I'm definitely praying that there won't be any shipping in the next book but regardless I don't think they're going to wind up ditching anybody because 1) They really seem keen on the love triangle and 2) They've spent a lot of time with the characters and a lot of fans would be incredibly upset with them if they were written out of the show, plus I'm pretty sure the Voice Actors have confirmed that they were working on Book 4, suggesting that they aren't leaving in book 3. </p>

They've resolved the triangle twice now. I doubt they will do it again unless something happens to Asami. They should just do a new Team Avatar at this point.

<p>I thought they were done— but they brought it back up in Book 2 for no reason. I really wouldn't put it past them to try it again for a third time at this point. </p>

It's not just the Avatar fandom, there are dozens of other fanbases I've seen demanding answers over things completely pointless to the story and don't really add anything whatsoever or are something so simple a brain-damaged monkey could work out what was going on or how it would work. I've always hated this attitude whenever it crops up. </p>

<p>QFT! I couldn't agree more!
</p>

<p>If they're traveling to the Earth Kingdom in Book Three, will Mako be accompanying them? He is an up and coming police detective now. I wonder if we'll see that much of him in the next chapter. </p>

<p>I've got to hand it to Avatar though, Mako's situation between Korra and Asami is sersiously one of the most original romances I've seen in a show in a long freaking time. </p><p>As for shipping, I'm personally more for Mako sticking with Asami. There was almost nothing for their relationship in the first book when you think about it, they obviously did not like each other, but then with no transition at all Korra has a crush on him. I have a sister who I think pinned it when she said "It's just one of those 'they hate each other so they must like each other' dumb pairings." </p><p>Bottom line, Mako has more chemistry with Asami than with Korra. And if you notice, Mako and Asami were a very good couple during the first book, while when he and Korra were together in book two, they spent probably more than half their time yelling at each other. </p>

Tried it. I don't see myself doing that, lol. I can't even get a date, soooo. </div> <p>By "putting onseself in Mako's shoes," are we supposed to imagine ourselves as the vertex of a triangle (a position in which I've actually <i>been</i>, for the record)?  Or to imagine trying to connive our way out of that position and facing few, if any, consequences for doing so? </p>

Okay, first off, Mako never cheated on Asami. The kiss way back in episode 5 of the first book was entirely Korra's initiative, and he was too surprised to pull away instantly. And we can easily assume that by the end of the first book Asami and Mako are officially broken up. Yes, she got the short end of the stick, and I commend Asami for keeping her cool through the entire love triangle mess, but none of it was majorly any one person's fault. They were mostly just victims of circumstance and their own feelings. <p>What's wrong with him rekindling that relationship after he officially broke things off with Korra? He's not leading Asami on, she came right out and displayed her feelings for him. Mako's acting level-headed, focused, and dedicated to his job, putting his duties to Republic City first over any personal relationships. This is a major improvement from how erratic and bull-headed he was acting near the end of the first book.  </p><p>i agree with you. </p> </i></div>
