He worried about Bolin. He worried about the Fire Ferrets. He worried about Korra and Team Avatar. Mako spent his entire life worrying about everyone himself. He never really got the opportunity to really figure out what he wanted out of life. Like Mako, I do think she tried. Seriously, think about it. This girl was roughly years old when she found out that her destiny was to protect the world.
She was the bridge between the humans and spirits. She was the most powerful figure on the planet and there would be times when the entire planet would depend on her. Gotta give her credit.
This is how romance should be used ideally in a story: as a tool to further develop the characters and create an exclusive bond between them that only they can understand. That bond helps each to see the other as they truly are and be a better version of themselves.
This growing emotional bond is symbolized with Mako gradually getting closer to Korra as the episode progresses. Disclaimer: I apologize, non-Zutara shipping Makorra stans. I try not to compare Makorra to Zutara too much. The popular fandom theory behind Makorra has always been that it was intended to be a canon, romantic recreation of Zutara, endgame or otherwise.
I just can never reference that line without thinking this. There really should have been more scenes like this between Korra and Mako. A dynamic similar to Rapunzel and Flynn in a way, while at the same time understanding how it feels to have such a responsibility being the Avatar and being the only family for a younger brother and growing up without that many friends in an environment in which things sometimes felt limited would have brought them closer as well.
It showed Korra and Mako being capable of both lighthearted small talk and deep, complex issues with each other. Oh, wow, thank you so much for tagging me in this, I love it??? The show absolutely would have been better served with a much slower burn rather than Korra deciding she was in love with him just in time for Asami to arrive on the scene and sweep him off his feet, which even at the time I thought was hamfisted and poorly executed , and, if they had to have a love triangle, allowed their friendships to form and solidify first so that it had real stakes.
The whole thing with Korra having very valid reasons for suspecting Asami, but Mako having equally valid reasons for believing Korra was either making things up or reading into something because she was jealous, and then Korra pulling an Aang and kissing someone who was in the middle of expressing their confusion [although somehow Mako wound up blamed for this, in canon and in the fandom… ugh]…..
Anyway, this whole meta is beautiful and eloquent and it reminded me exactly what I loved so much about Makorra from the start—and where I was hoping it would go, even though, as mentioned, all of this potential ultimately fizzled out in favor of a half-baked love triangle and pointless teen drama later in book 1 and then….

We are not Pro, we are Con. And no she didn't really have to work for anything, and that's not cool. Aang had to work for literally everything; food, shelter, and people to teach him bending, and he accomplished so much. Korra was way to sheltered. I don't care if she was in a compound, she still could have worked for things.
Even Mako can get some slack from me; at least they guy worked for his shelter. I would also realize that this is what I was trained for and actually be prepared to fulfill my responsibilities. If you want to question my honesty, I would say take a look at my school life, but that's kind of personal.
Lastly she complains about how much being a nonbender sucks in front of a nonbender! For this I'll take a comment from one of the tumblr confessions poll again the confession stating 'Why do people judge Korra so harshly for being upset about losing her bending? Losing her bending in her mind was failing in her role as the Avatar. I judge her harshly because she acted like she lost all of her bending, it could be worse, at least she had her airbending.
I also judge her harshly because she was complaining about how bad it was to be a nonbender right in front of a nonbender, and that's just rude. I know they aren't the same person but Lin didn't complain and she had no bending. In Lin's mind she failed her job as a former police chief, but she didn't complain once. I wouldn't be happy at all, but I couldn've taken the time to appreciate that I could finally and at least airbend and because I could still airbend realize I could still do my job as the avatar because air has the most connection to spirit.
From there I would realize that I could find away to fix things in the spirit world. So yes I'd be upset at first, but I wouldn't complain, I'd actually think things through and realize that at least I still had something unlike poor Lin and Tahno. Those 2 had the right to complain.
