Korra the Riveter
another thing for elee0228
I really hope Korra gets some character development in season 2. Zuko and Aang were more fleshed out. I don't mind that she's a selfish brat. Aang was certainly stubborn about not killing Ozai, but we understood why. Korra acts like an asshole and we don't know why. That bugs the crap out of me. Seriously, the show was supposed to be about non-benders vs benders, and the person that is supposed to represent balance shuns her love interest and almost kills herself (she was at a cliff, it was implied) when she can't bend. Suddenly she can bend again, and she considers herself worthy of Mako. She associates a person's worth with bending prowess. How is that a balanced point of view when the issue is non-bender oppression. It just makes her an asshole who hasn't checked her bending privilege. (Which doesn't make her a bad character. A character can be an asshole and still be compelling.)
