The Legend of Korra/WMG/Love Dodecahedrons: Difference between revisions

For theories about other subjects, see [[The Legend of Korra (Animation)/WMG|The Legend Of Korra Wild Mass Guessing Index]].

At first, Korra is everything short of spoiled and didn't seem to take other's feelings seriously (Disobeying and not listening to Tenzin, pushily giving herself a spot on the Fire Ferrets' team, ect.). Since ''The Spirit Of Competition'', however, there has been a gradual shift in her behavior (though it's equally possible that it has more to do with her encounter with Amon). Korra is obviously used to getting whatever she wants, but she allows Mako to be with Asami, even after he said that he liked her (Korra) as well as Asami. Korra sees that her advances and the resulting tension left them all unhappy and jeopardized the Fire Ferrets' reputation, and she agrees to be friends with Mako, even though it's not what she wants. Since then, she had quietly and sorrowfully watched Mako and his girlfriend from afar and has been acting more mature than earlier episodes. Korra's realizing that she can't always get what she wants, which is actually a big lesson for her.

Sure, she kisses him. [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|A body like that, a face like his,]] that [[Troubled but Cute]] demeanor? [[Fan -Preferred Couple|What young waterbender girl wouldn't want a boy like that?]] But does he want her back? Maybe he will, in the future... but imagine that someone you consider as a buddy, or a rival, suddenly up and kissed you... his rejection, and Korra's reaction to it, might be Mike and Bryan's commentary on that particular section of the fandom that didn't get what they wanted, and couldn't understand why. There will be heavy metacommentary from Korra, [[Audience Surrogate|herself a slightly spoiled, sheltered, immature young lady, used to getting what she wants, unaware of how the real world works, and heavily influenced by media cliches and her own romantic fantasies]]: ''"We were supposed to end up together! We made the perfect couple! All the gossip magazines said so!"'' However, unlike [[Avatar: The Last Airbender/Recap/Book the3/17 The Ember Island Players/Recap|The Ember Island Players]], the pairing, and the pain of rejection, will ''not'' be played for laughs for long.

* Korra doesn't seem like an [[Audience Surrogate]]. Though...it ''would'' be an interesting callback to the main series if Korra was simultaneously awkward and aggressive about romance, like Aang was.

** Seen it. After long deliberation and reflecting on the previous page image for [[Ship Tease]], I have this to say. [[Avatar: theThe Abridged Series|Scepticism. Scepticism. Scepticism.]]

Causing even '''more''' shipping confusion and wars.

** A sequel to "Schooltime Shipping" will have '''SO''' much fun with this just like with Katara, possibly parrodying 90210 or any given teen drama on The CW.

== Asami is going to find out about Korra kissing Mako at the '''worst''' possible time with the group ==

Similar to the orignal series having high tension when looking for Appa in the desert and being chased for days by Azula in the tank, just when the Krew and especially between Korra and Asami are being at an especially buddy-buddy at the beginning of an ep, something involving the Equalists wearing them out has a moment where either Korra (in frustration) or Bolin (bad-timing with a comparison) accidentally blabs about the kiss with Asami giving a [[What the Hell, Hero?|"I thought we were friends/you love me?!"]] with Mako giving a quiet shame face before admitting it. Asami is especially frustrated that she sided with them against {{spoiler|her father}} even though she's still down for the cause, but things a talk with [[Team Dad|Tenzin]] about [[The Power of Love]], forgiveness and/or his own [[Love Triangle]] with Pema and Lin and/or Korra explaining about how [[Small Secluded World|sheltered life has affected her interactions with people especially romance]] that [[Spoiled Sweet|Asami]] [[Not So Different|can relate to.]] Things are better for it with the girls being more sisterly and even joking about [[Lampshade Hanging|"keeping an eye out for any ''more'' girls Mako could fall for."]]

Now, on to the theory: Asami is not stupid and Korra is not subtle.

Asami mentions upon meeting Korra that Mako has told her a lot about her. This probably includes how eager Korra was to befriend and impress him when they first met, which is in sharp contrast to how cold Asami must have noticed Korra was to her when the two girls met. Asami is a very pretty girl and I doubt Mako is her first boyfriend, so she probably knows jealousy when she sees it. Korra is shown to display clear jealousy whenever Mako and Asami get overly cute, which I am sure Asami catches from time to time, as Korra seems to look out more for Mako than Asami.

I would like to think that if and when Mako and Asami split up for whatever reason, that they can remain friends and that Asami moves on. I like to think that she would eventually become a [[Shipper Onon Deck]] for Mako and Korra and give Korra better advice than jumping into volcanos or brewing freaky little Ikki-imagined love potions.

And this will put stress on both her friendship with Korra and her relationship with Mako. Now technically living together, Mako and Korra will begin to grow closer as they spend time together and Asami will get jealous when she sees romantic undertones in their interactions. Just for the sake of it, these interactions will include the classic 'stand behind them to help them' tactic. I can see it happening.

** And one of these moments will happen when Korra is reunited with Asami and the guys, which is sure to be an emotional affair. Asami will probably have a GEM moment when Korra and Mako are particularly happy to see each other.

Asami and Korra come to the conclusion that Mako shouldn't be making moves on them both at the same time, then abandon ship.
