I agree with most of this post except that while I accepted Makorra I was never all that fond of it, & if there's anything I feel bad for Mako over, it's the writers making him look like a total douche. As with pretty much all of the characters, a lot of the hate he gets is unfair or exaggerated, but a lot of it sure isn't. Honestly, Korrasami was better for Mako too, the Mako of Books 3 & 4 is a much better, more mature character than the Mako who was trying to string along 2 different girls. If his positive development continues, rather than regressing to the status quo, he could be a genuinely likeable character.</div>Thanks for your support! <p>TBH, Makorra was forced and crammed at the very last minute. Most of us know this because Bryke wasn't expecting to have more seasons of TLoK so they decided to just end it there, but when the second season came out, well, things changed a lot. </p><p>(The writting in season 2 was really weak) </p><p>Bryke made a turn here. They decided to play with the characters relationships so Makorra of course wasn't all that perfect. They had problems (and yes, Mako was portrayed as some senseless douche), but I also agree in Mako's character development. </p><p>The Mako at the last 2 seasons has really grown up and he showed us what it means to sacrifice everything for your loved ones. </p><p>So yeah </p><p>Bryke writing = character development, profound character arcs. </p> </div>It wasn't that it wasn't a perfect relationship, it was that one fight broke them up. It wasn't because Mako was horrible, but that Korra was essentially a child for the first half of book 2. That's going by the idea of A New Spiritual Age.
<p>Yeah, book 4 had that sacrifice thing going on. </p><p>With Turf Wars, we need some sort of actual development with Korra and Asami. Not just a nice image of them together.

<p>Funfact: In the comic book series, Aang and Katara faced a lot of problems in their relationship too...
</p><p>Did they broke apart?
</p><p>Nah.

<p>I was a Makorra shipper back when TLoK started and I was fine with it. But somehow, I started shipping Korrasami because I tought <i>"meh, this will never happen in the actual show, so I will ship them whenever I want"...</i>
</p><p>But, when the 3rd season ended, I was like <i>"wtf Bryke, wut r u doing"</i> and by the end of the series my little Korrasami heart was shocked and happy because my imposible ship came true.
</p><p>I felt reaaaaaaally bad for Mako, BUT I never felt bad for supporting Korrasami too.
</p><p>I don't think Bryke will destroy something they have defended since the very end of the series, They are really proud and happy about their decision, so Korrasami may have some problems but it wont die. I'm sure Mako will certainly get a relation ship arc with another maybe-new-character.(mark my words y'all) and he will move on eventually.
</p><p>Bryke has done this in the past many times (Katara's mild crush on Jet, Sokka and Yue, Mai and Zuko, Bolin and Korra).

<p>I'd like to recall what Bumi told Aang once:
</p><p><i>"You need to find someone who waits and listens before striking"</i>
</p><p>King Bumi didn't fight back when Omashu fall against the Fire Nation. He waited for the right moment to attack.
</p><p>As Toph is a powerfull Neutral Jing master she may choose between letting herself be captured or fight.
</p>
(Edited by Hikarol-chan)
<p>About the reunion is very possible but Toph getting captured? I doubt that, maybe she will manage to escape and advise Korra and Tenzin what is happening. Like when she was captured and decided to find Aang to help him back then.
</p>
(Edited by Hikarol-chan)
<p>I don't think Toph is going to defend the swamp in any form.
</p><p>Don't get angry on m but Toph is not a person that cares for something if it doesn't affect her in anyway.
</p><p>In this case, she ill only fight to protect her turd and peaceful way of life.
</p><p>Proof: Toph is well aware of whats happening in the world thanks to the vines... so... Why she didnt help Suyin to protect Zaofu or the metal clan? :0

A plan to make everything on the side of technollogy backfires to Kuvira :0
(Edited by Hikarol-chan)
<p>Guys!
</p><p>We have already seen this in the avatar universe:
</p><p><i>"I guess you just don't know people as well as you think you do. You miscalculated; I love Zuko more than I fear you" </i><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:justify;">— Mai explaining to </span>Azula<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:justify;"> why she saved </span>Zuko<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:justify;"> during the </span>Escape from the Boiling Rock<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:justify;">.</span><sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-BR2_0-0" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);text-align:justify;">[1]</sup></p><p>I really hope we can see Zhu Li protecting Varrick and fighting against Kuvira
</p>
(Edited by Hikarol-chan)
<p>So a friend of mine and I were talking about the improvements on the mecha-tanks and we noticed these facts:
</p><p>1.- Mecha tanks are more dynamic allowing more movement in fighting.
</p><p>2.- Su Yin is and Zhu Li are known to use mecha-tanks. This means benders and non-benders are capable of using them.
</p><p>3.- Spirit vines may be a kind of energy source for the mecha-tanks making them resistant to water bending attacks. They are also capable of throw fire.
</p><p>With these facts we concluded this:
</p><p>Mecha-tanks will be used for battle against benders probably against Zaofu where metalbenders won't stand a chance.
</p><p>By using metal/earthbenders inside the tanks, provides 2 advantages:
</p><p>Ability to counter attack earthbending techniques like moving the ground.When the tank is down the bender can get out of the tank and continue fighting.
</p><p>Remember what Toph did in the war?
</p><p>She covered herself in metal scraps to endure fire bending attacks. Now imagine that on a giant impervious armor, with the ability to firebend, magnetize metal benders and counterattack certain earth bending attacks.
</p><p>About the vines:
</p><p>What if the vines provide energy source for the mecha-tank <i>and</i> the bender.
</p><p>If benders are going to use the armor, they would need a great energy source to move those armors efficiently on the battlefield.
</p><p>What do you think?
