| − | For most of the series, Korra’s love interest was Mako, but she had some moments with his brother Bolin. However, in the final episode, she and Asami hold hands as they enter the Spirit World, trying to mirror Aang and Katara’s kiss in the old series which was the last shot, but due to the controversy, a kiss between Korra and Asami was never animated. The paring came as a shock to many, as throughout the series, Korra and Asami didn’t talk much other than advancing the plot, and by the time in happened, it felt like it was made just for shock value. | + | For most of the series, Korra’s love interest was Mako, but she had some moments with his brother Bolin.

The controversy is having Vaatu and Raava represent Yin and Yan, but having it be a generic good vs. evil story, when Yin and Yang represent different forces in balance, as though Yin represents negative energy, it doesn’t nessecary mean evil, along with Yin representing things like femininity and the moon. It’s also worth noting that Raava, the Yang is female, while Vaatu, the Yin is male, which gender swaps what Yin and Yang represent. |
