So I put these two, Korra and Asami, against each other in a poll. And as of when I started work on this, they were tied perfectly in votes. I don't usually draw both characters in a poll, (kind of defeats the purpose of voting if you ask me) but figured I'd make an exception since these two are  a canonical couple in the show, and there was clearly interest around here in seeing me draw them together. 

So as far as pop culture is concerned, pretty much everyone loved Avatar: The Last Airbender. Its popularity so universal that those who didn't like the show existed only in fearful myth, in stories told to children to keep them in line. So in retrospect, it's quite clear to me that its sequel series, The Legend of Korra, never had a prayer of living up to its predecessor in the eyes of fans. Korra's audience reaction was so mixed that it barely made it to the finish line, with Nickelodeon pulling funding at the eleventh hour to the point where one of the final episodes was a clip show for crying out loud. 

Overall I'm in the camp that liked the series, though it had its pros and cons to be sure. I found Korra herself to be bratty and unsympathetic at times, but she always managed to come around eventually. Plus the show remains, to my eyes anyway, one of the most gorgeous cartoons ever made outside of Japan. Also Zelda Williams probably has about the sexiest voice ever. Just sayin.'
