ALL POSTSThoughts on Korrasami
<p>Am I the only one who believes that Korrasami is the most rushed and underdeveloped relationship in all of Avatar? I'm not even kidding. Soooo many people in the Avatar fandom seem to ship Korrasami even though they was absolutely no build up (they could hardly be classified as friends in Book One and I'm not sure they ever even shared a scene together in Book Two). In the first episode of Book Three Bryke pretends that Korra and Asami have been best friends the entire time, and they won't let Mako get between their bond (Where does this come from? Where's the build up? When did they become friends?). And when Korra only writes to Asami during her time in the South Pole... what? Why does she not write to Mako or Bolin or Tenzin? I mean, I wouldn't hate this nearly as much if we were given some BUILD UP. A lot of people seem to ship Korrasami simply because they want an LGBT relationship on the show, but they refuse to acknowledge how little sense that ship makes. Am I crazy? What are your thoughts?

Times change but the Korrasami couple continues to give strength to the Avatar Universe.

<p>Guys, we've been on this thread for six years. Give it a rest. Korrasami is canon, and you gotta deal with it!

<p>@Aita666 You can keep re-posting that video as many times as you want it's not going to change anyone's mind and that's just ONE person's opinion. And it's an opinion that's in the minority.
</p><p>The ending of The Legend of Korra is one that has entered pop culture and is a moment that will forever remain in popular conscience for years to come, if not longer. The first issue of Turf Wars sold out of stores in the first DAY of the book's release and the other comics have also done VERY well for themselves and a big part of that is the fact that Korrasami remains popular to this day.
</p><p>This paring, despite being unable to kiss or say "I Love You" in the show proper is still as popular as the day it was made canon 5 years ago. No matter what anyone else tries to say about the couple it IS a paring that is hugely popular and one that has had a positive impact on Western Animation. Deal. With. It!

I tried watching the video but the guy was so cringy and irritating I had to turn it off.

<p>@Winter77 It was a cheap subplot thrown in last minute by the writers so their underviewed show wouldn't fade into obscurity after it had finished. The only reason the first comic did so well was because of this pandering. The art and writing of "Turf Wars" are far inferior to those of the ATLA comics, and the writing of "Ruins of the Empire" is just as dull. Once the Korrasami train has run out of steam the LOK comics are in big trouble.

<p>If you don't like the pairing then just don't read the comics but stop trying to ruin other people's opinions of it and how important the couple is to many LGBT+ fans </p>

<p>We all know that Korrasami is canon but in any case it has to continue celebrating because it was the first official couple shown on children's television 5 years ago! </p>

<p>This ship has been running for 5 years now and is showing no sign of going out of popularity. Even with amazing shows like Steven Universe and She-Ra that have expanded on Queer Representation Korrasami and the Legend of Korra as a whole is still viewed positively by both Queer people and none queer people. </p><p>If you don't like the pairing, that's fine. No one has says you have to agree with anyone here but the majority has spoken and the pairing is still as popular as it was back in 2014. Contrast this with the Voltron Series which ended in 2018, despite still having many fans the show has largely faded out of popular conscience. Korra is still being talked about and analyzed for it's themes, story as well as it's endgame ship. </p><p>It's a flawed show, but I would argue that it's still a Great series with complex characters such as Korra, Asami, Tenzin and Lin, well-rounded villains (minus Unalaq) and engaging plots. This series has had plenty of steam left in it and 5 years in it's still going strong. Love it or hate it, The Legend of Korra and Korrasami are here to stay. </p>
