As far as Mako/Makorra is concerned, there's actually a conversation I had with another artist in the comment section of my Artwork 'You Saved Them All' where I shared my thoughts on them. But you asked, so i'll answerAs a character, I'm okay with him. He did have some growing to do (as did many of the characters) but he did. And throughout Book 2 I found admiration for him as a detective. During his investigation into the thievery of Asami's Tech and the bombings he showed that he really knew what he was doing (unlike Lu and Gang... incompitent pillocks). As for Makorra, I don't full-on hate the relationship but it's not a favourite. No offence to Mako personally, but the whole 'girl instantly falling for the macho, dark, brooding type'... I am not a fan (I was totally shocked to hear that Janet Varney actually shares that view). And it felt like during much of their relationship they just argued a lot. I know all relationships have their quarrels, but it just made this pairing lean dangerously close to the stereotypical 'Will they won't they' relationship where the two characters just find new ways to break up and make up... something else that tends to get on my nerves. When they called it off at the finale of Book 2, I just sat there thinking 'it'll only be a matter of time before they're back on again'. Boy did I make the wrong assumption.Even the love triangle business got annoying (which is unfortunate in a way because entertaining love triangles are so hard to find these days). Keeping secrets about kissing Korra from Asami, and not telling Korra they'd broken up after her memory loss... If i'm being honest the only one in the love triangle who I actually felt bad for was Asami. On top of learning that your own father is in league with a mob of Anti-bending revolutionaries, you're family name and company being dragged through the mud, but learning your boyfriend is harbouring feelings for someone else... Poor girl.Your thoughts?What you said about Korra being broken and defeated, couldn't have said it better myself.Honestly the whole dynamic of Zaheer and Korra has to be one of the greatest hero/villian relationships i've ever witnessed. His sense of mission far trumps Amon (another villian I love) and Unalaq. Wheras those two meerly attempted to rob her of her bending, and her connection to Raava + the past Avatars repsectively, he was prepared to kill her, actually KILL her. To break and torment her in the way that he did, Zaheer is essentially what the Joker is to Batman, what The Green Goblin is to Spiderman, what The Illusive Man is to Commander Shepard, what ... okay i'll stop there. All of it truly culminated in the confrontation between the two in Zaheer's prison (so much love for Janet Varney and Henry Rollins). Both needed to lay their cards on the table in that moment; Korra had to ultimately face her fears and realize she was actually holding herself back and Zaheer had to face the reality of what his actions had caused. Not that he would ever just abandon his beliefs, but if you think about the chain of events: first he kills the Earth Queen, plunging the Kingdom into Chaos, driving Kuvira to form a dictatorship, and the Avatar too emotionally distraught to intervene in those three years because of his attempt on her life, all of his plans suddenly blew up in his face and he got the complete opposite of what he wanted for the world. Did you notice the look on his face when Korra 'thanks' him for creating the worst dictator in history, he looks genuely regretful for what he's done.I'm still pissed with him for what he did to her, but I can see myself doing some Zaheer Fan Art in the future (my next pencil sketch portrait, i'm torn between him and Kuvira).I have not read the Comics, but I guess it's only a matter of time before I purchase them. I already went on a mad buying frenzy to get the Art of Legend of Aang, and the Art of LOK books 1 - 3 (I tell you, those books are a gift from Raava, and they have been a colossal help while I practice/need references for my drawings). Already got the Art of Book 4 preordered. BTW have you seen the artwork 'Turtle-duck Date Night' by Bryan Kontietzko? bryankonietzko.tumblr.com/post… Part of me wants to wager whether it will appear in the 'Ancillary Art' section of that Book.Are you kidding me? ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME?! I'm excited enough to hear her talk to Seychelle and Zelda, but.... KORRA CHATS WITH FEMSHEP?!!! Haha, i think we both need to shut up, but i'm really enjoying these conversations/debates we've been having
