You guys are totally unfair. Bryke started building those two up since the beginning of Season 3, ....

doesn't that seem a bit late to you? I honestly stopped watching LoK after the beginning of S2 and didn't manage to marathon it until after S4 was over and I was told KorrAsami was a thing... it was barely there as I looked for it.

S2's beginning was probably the best part of that volume anyways, so I even disagree with your assertions of how the series progressed, the problems with LoK's writing until S3 was not that it was worse, but that it was less focused, there were real gems in those first volumes, and much that came off as almost filler towards the middle of both that allowed people to lose interest.

Honestly I'm more pissed about where the ship went and possible themes about where it was going... as both characters essentially "pass on", going on a dangerous trek through the spirit realm when the last person we know who went there on such a trek was Iroh... who became a spirit himself, even though Korra doing the same has serious consequences... it almost screams "no future", something I'd rather not see in the only lesbian ship of the series as I feel it cheapens the ship.

In contrast, TLA's ending was so much better I was rather disappointed in LoK in comparison.... but now I think I am getting too far off track
