Spoiler warning for Legend of Korra  Legend of Korra Creators Officially Confirm Your Suspicion

Spoiler warning for Legend of Korra  Legend of Korra Creators Officially Confirm Your Suspicions About That Ending“After a weekend full of heated debate, The Legend of Korra co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko took to their personal blogs to clear up the ending of their animated series. They waited a little before commenting, they say, to make sure everyone had a chance to experience the finale for themselves. I’ll do the same here. [This was published Dec. 22]What follows, obviously, is a discussion of the ending of The Legend of Korra. If you haven’t watched it and want to remain unspoiled, please proceed with caution.When the show’s hero, Korra, and her companion Asami walked into the sunset (a.k.a. the spirit portal) hand in hand, gazing fondly at each other was that love or merely friendship? It’s love, people. Bryan and Mike are here to tell you it’s love. "Just because two characters of the same sex appear in the same story, it should not preclude the possibility of a romance between them. No, not everyone is queer, but the other side of that coin is that not everyone is straight. The more Korra and Asami’s relationship progressed, the more the idea of a romance between them organically blossomed for us. However, we still operated under this notion, another “unwritten rule,” that we would not be allowed to depict that in our show. So we alluded to it throughout the second half of the series, working in the idea that their trajectory could be heading towards a romance.We did it for all our queer friends, family, and colleagues. It is long over due that our media (including children’s media) stops treating non-heterosexual people as nonexistent, or as something merely to be mocked. I’m only sorry it took us so long to have this kind of representation in one of our stories.”Read the full piece, including the creators’ comments, here -- source link
