Day 10 - Makorra

Until episode 6

Part 01

As I put in the post of the "Day 08", Korra and Mako has some little discussions, but at the end of it, they apologize to each other and follow the course of the life.

Korra apologize for being indifferent and crispy with him.

And Mako understood that Korra was under pressure.

Naga's eyes 😆

So, after this reconciliation Mako (and the rest of the team avatar) witness a lot of things

The truth about her dad exile from the north.

He saw how much Korra was trying to meditate the situation between the south and north.

He was there when her family was judged.

They discovered that Unalak had bribed the judge.

He knew that Tenzin and her father liyed about Aang's desire for her to be trained within the walls of the Southern Water Tribe.

The worst part... Unalak orchestrated a plan against Korra's father, causing him to be outcasted from the North, so Unalak could become the leader.

Korra opened up that she trusted Unalak.

All this happened and he stayed as the same loyal, supportive and lovely boyfriend that he ever was.

I think that more then that. The Avatar team was facing a villain, someone who conspired, bribed, and lied to get what he wanted.

You know what I see here? The same thing that I saw in the first season. They are balancing each other. Korra has someone she can lean on, and Mako, as always, followed her without hesitation, not because she's the Avatar, but because he admires her.

Remember what made him fall in love with her...? And he himself says so.

"You are the most loyal, brave, and selfless person I've ever known."

It was more than right that he followed her decisions, whether they're good or bad, because to go against that is to go against what she herself is... And therefore, I think that this can be applied to him too, not just because he is a police now, but because he demonstrate that he is also a loyal and brave person.

It was a right decision to make...

Plus, how cute 🥺

The legend of Korra was planned to have just the first season

like...

They decide to make more season when the first season was in it's climax, that's when they realized the audience was good and asking for new ones... It makes me think that this same audience wanted to see more of Makorra too.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

Watched untill episode 5

So I started the second season and at first I was a little bit uneasy with Korra's temper, mainly because it was affecting her relationship with Mako.

I was thinking that the writers missed all the progress she made throughout the first season, but then I realized she was facing practically the same problem. Her freedom was at stake again, people telling what she had to do without asking what she wants or what she thinks and Mako got caught in the middle of those things.

She started to be confused, worse then that, Korra didn't know in who she could relay on. Tenzim wouldn't let her breathe, her father had hidden important information from her, and it was in her uncle that she saw an opportunity to truly grow as avatar, but then, she found herself alone when realized she couldn't trust him.

Plus, her behavior towards Mako wasn't right btw. In the first season one always balance the other decisions. Fr, they don't seem the same characters. Ugh

I will make a post about that 🤔

Mako, in one of their discussion said: "what's your problem with sides? Why you always thought that I'm against you?"

One of the differences between Aang and Korra trajectory as avatar is that Aang didn't have to pick a side to defend, he had one only target, but Korra always had to make a choice, and making that, she unleashed a lot of things. Good and bad.

Even the bad ones was necessary tho.

She was constantly searching answers in and with Mako, but he didn't know how to answer as well, at the other hand he always said, and affirming, that he was on her side no matter what...

First season by the way ↑

And the problem start here... Mako characterization.

At the beginning he was in the Avatar side, they go through a lot since the first season as a team... But then, suddenly he chooses his duty as a police man over all of this?

First of all... They put his character in a position to create conflict with Korra's. In the first season we never seen him being interested in serve the police or the city, he had one and only thing in mind. Being at Korra's side even if this cost his life and do the right thing...

Is so wrong that they put Mako in this position, and worst, reaveling or not Korra's plan, any wouldn't affect his job in any way. He was coerced because of his closeness to the Avatar, but nothing forced him to do it... Even worst than that... Reaveling such a thing would put a target in him too.

Anyways...

It's seems like they throw away everything his character was created to be. A loyal man that gives his live for those he love the most.

Confession

This gif has a beautiful quality↓

I wasn't going to write anything in this post, it was just to appreciate this beautiful ending, but something came to my mind.

It's how Korra reacted after lose her Avatar side.

Since a very young age she was surrounded by many people and those people aways make things for her just because she was the avatar, so when Korra says "go back to your life, I'm no longer the avatar. You don't own me any more favors", its seams like she sees that people stays with her just because of that... Somehow she has difficult in see otherwise?

Haha I don't know

He was so in love, gosh 🫪

I said in the "day 04 - Makorra" that someone point out that they haven't any reason to love each other... Well, seems like they were wrong hihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihihi

They truly loved each other.

Plus, he really messed up things with Asami. He couldn't be honest with her. And in part I even agree with him when he said that wasn't the right time to discuss the matter... But could he have been so obvious in front of her? He could have.
