Season four turned out pretty well. Even though the finale didn't necessarily feel like a series finale, not one bigger than the other finales anyway, it certainly hit a lot of the right notes. Hiroshi's death and Varrick and Zhu Li doing the thing being two of the big ones. I even thought Mako was a goner for a second here. I feel like some of the bigger events overshadowed Korra and Asami getting together simply because we only had the implication of their pairing rather than something big and grand. I thought everything involving Korra and Kuvira was great on top of that.
Not everyone, only the women.
Well said. I would've loved to see the parallels between them developed even further. Would there have been room for more Kuvira last season? We know she was there. She and Korra could've shared more screentime until the battle against Zaheer changes Korra, making her into a more contemplative Avatar while Kuvira goes even further to consolidate her power.
Yes this is a NickToon, but there's certainly a lot more they could've given us.
I was mostly against the idea of Korrasami for a couple reasons. First and foremost I didn't like the strong female warrior has to be a lesbian thing (as we've seen with Xena and even Mulan to an extent on OUaT), but it was clear that Korra's bond was strongest with Asami and, really, by the end of the series the only guys she could've been paired with were either General Iroh (who she hardly interacted with) or Prince Wu (and, frankly, that would be embarrassing for her). However, seeing an actual transition from friendship into something more would've made for a great story. Did Korra have doubts that Asami didn't return her feelings? She's brave in the face of death, but could she be brave enough to risk losing Asami as a friend? How does Korra see herself? Is she afraid her family and friends wouldn't approve? So much story potential we would never have been given.
