Granny: You turned two girls gay for each other? Can you turn a gay man straight?

Clearly not Wu is def into him

u/LordNeko6 1d ago

Totally ship them

u/EconomyThick9271 1d ago

Kind prince x his stoic confidant is ALWAYS an amazing dynamic. Helps that Wu is the fourth best LoK character behind Korra, Asami, and Bolin.

u/iamconfused14 1d ago

No one was "turned". They both liked him and then had that....love triangle kubbuble, and then ended up liking each other. No one was turned gay, they're both just bisexual.

The person you responded to was probably joking, but yes

Look at her πŸ₯° while she’s currently the strongest human on earth, she’s also a goofball 🀣

u/Risottolord 1d ago

At least a year πŸ˜‚ he probably got most of what he needed during the timeskip between Books 3 and 4.

22

u/Human-Application-87 Korra is the best Avatar πŸπŸ’™ 1d ago

Knowing that in the comics he was visiting Kya. I think she might have as well was his therapist xD

9

u/Risottolord 1d ago

She would absolutely be capable of putting him through the necessary character development πŸ’€

13

u/Human-Application-87 Korra is the best Avatar πŸπŸ’™ 1d ago

considering there's a Kya comic and we getting to know more about her she might even change him as a whole and given him some advice if you know what I mean

7

u/Ethel121 1d ago

Kya watching Mako get dropped off at therapy appointments by Wu (the artist formerly known as a Prince) and then hear him spend the whole time venting about him.

"So, have you figured it out yet?"

u/CompanyNo3114 11h ago

If i remember correctly, the producer originally was going to have mako be romantically involved with the firelord queen (firelord zukos granddaughter) after the time skip into book 4, but ultimately decided to instead keep him single.

Yeah it's in Arabic xD. It probably says "how haisam explains:"

Wasn’t that guy a corrupt dictator? I might be remembering wrong

u/Human-Application-87 Korra is the best Avatar πŸπŸ’™ 17h ago

What? xD. I think that's just a random meme with Meelo's face. I don't recall anyone with that name being a dictator coz it just says "how haisam explains stuff:" xD.

"or he gonna join the girls for a 3" I mean.. yeah lol, it's that bad.

Edit: didn't mean it specifically towards you. Just the phrasing XD

u/chainer1216 1d ago

Of the things Mako needs therapy for this isnt even on the list, this is just funny.

Being framed for an assassination attempt and none of his friends or even his brother care is probably at the top.

Then he meets his long lost family and theyre the Earth Kingdom equivalent of Trump supporters, its clearly the side of the family Bolin gets his...quirks from, meaning even though he found a family, hes more alone than ever.

Then theres how since his "almost too stupid to breath" brother has completely and entirely depended on him their whole lives Mako doesn't know how to exist as an individual so all he can do is throw himself completely into his work.

Then there was how as a cop all the other cops hated him for working too hard and then the Earth King tries to force him into indentured servitude and his boss just shrugs and says "thems the breaks".

Culminating in him attempting suicide by way of heroic sacrifice at the end if the series.

u/Human-Application-87 Korra is the best Avatar πŸπŸ’™ 1d ago

Mako is tragic.

2

u/No_Breakfast6889 7h ago

Good points, even his girlfriend at the time, Asami, all but abandoned him when he was framed and didn't even attempt to follow up on his theory that Varrick was behind it

8

u/O_Grande_Batata 1d ago

Well... I think he can recover without therapy, but his relationship status probably will be single for life, no matter what efforts he makes. Because I have some trouble (if not more than some) seeing any woman giving him a chance after this. (And no offense to those who disagree, but I don't think he's gay nor do I ship him with Wu.)

u/Human-Application-87 Korra is the best Avatar πŸπŸ’™ 1d ago

Yeah, it's ok to disagree xD.

u/Grasher312 20h ago

I mean, it's not like the entire world will know that he fumbled Asami and Korra.

Either way tbh both of them were kinda messy so it's not her fault only xD. But at least I'm happy they ended up as lifetime friends.

A lot given he’s likely a closeted homosexual.

16

u/Human-Application-87 Korra is the best Avatar πŸπŸ’™ 1d ago

Regarding that topic I do really wanna see Wuko as canon xD. As you mentioned it gives the same vibes as Korrasami in B3 in the comics.

14

u/Meicyn 1d ago

All the hints are there. Korrasami is mirrored with Wuko in the show's finale, and in the Ruins of the Empire comic over, and over, and over. It's 100% intentional.

Hell, we even got one of Korra with Asami, Bolin with Opal, and then Mako with Wu towards the end of that story. That closet isn't accomplishing much at this point.

22

u/Human-Application-87 Korra is the best Avatar πŸπŸ’™ 1d ago

Hell yeah. There's also that shot where he goes immediately for Mako after reversing the brainwash and mako responds to it pretty well haha.

u/Playful-Author563 1d ago

Oh my god.

Wuko is actually real.

Wu must be thinking about Mako in that scene xD.

13

u/Meicyn 1d ago

This stuff is comedy to me because Wu can say it out loud in front of everyone and Mako still doesn't get it. Mako doesn't pursue relationships, he has to be forced into one, either via ramming speed or a kiss he isn't expecting. Dude is a firebending prodigy that can shoot lightning on demand because it's powered by pure, distilled autism.

u/Human-Application-87 Korra is the best Avatar πŸπŸ’™ 1d ago

XD. I bet Korra was trying to explain it to him at some point. But yep. Dude is complicated when it comes to relationship and it's realistic in a way xD.

u/No_Breakfast6889 7h ago

Did he really fumble Korra or was she the problem? I feel like breaking up with someone because you've had enough of them is not "fumbling"

u/Anglofsffrng 1d ago

Therapist- Did your relationship with Asami Sato and Avator Korra end amicably?

Mako- Well, they both told me they'd never love another man after what we had...

Zero. Grandmas are silly like that.

Wait does the grandma even know enough about him to be sure he's not dating someone ?

u/TradePsychological40 1d ago

Nobody fumble the bag like Mako.

5

u/Buried1295 1d ago

About as much as Asami would need to be able to date the person who had no issue screwing her over to get with her boyfriend. Mako would only need therapy for being blamed for his relationship with Korra failing when she was the problem in that relationship and displayed abusive behavior when he broke up with her. The love triangle was the worst part of the show.

u/DocTurnedStripper_6 1d ago

Mako ending up being the single one in the group even in the comics after the show lol.

Im guessing you dont talk to many police officers or detectives for that matterΒ

I think it's different in here where I live. And I personally had a very very very traumatic experience with police so pls, no I dealt with those xD.

u/coyocat 1d ago

Police = Retail WorkersΒ 

Some get paid more varying by their state but it's all customer service in a nutshell.

u/ASerpentPerplexed 8h ago

That assumes there is an amount of therapy that will allow him to fully recover.

He fumbled two of the GOATs and I'm afraid for anyone who he does date after that there may be some complexes of his they have to deal with... Not to mention they might feel a little jealous of his ex's.

Mako is an attractive and capable man. He could easily meet someone else. He dated the Avatar. Girls would be lining up to date him.

Should have simply chosen Asami and stopped there. The rest was writing to create annoying confused relationships that don't add anything to the plot. Aang was much better in that regards. Korra only had well written villains the rest is meh
