Well obviously Asami was just the psychologically stronger person. She didn't want help with her emotions because she didn't need help with them.
Korra was raised with the idea that she was supposed to be the guardian/savior/balancer/whatever of the world. Someone important and powerful, a role model for everyone to look up to. That she was invincible.
Then she gets totally ****** and realizes she's ******* nothing and her job can easily be done by others.
That kind of **** will easily put a huge ******* hole in your mental and emotional well-being. She had a god damn existential crisis along with ******* PTSD.
I kind of agree that Asami didn't get enough focus, but people rag on Korra for too much and just wave away all her very real (in the fictional universe) issues because she's supposed to be the avatar. That in itself was one of the problems she had to constantly deal with.
I'd also just like to add that Korra wasn't crippled because of a broken back, it was mercury poisoning which can actually cause paralysis.

The holy priestliness, heaven/hell-like realms, and dimensional beings kind of **** is a bit out of place. It conflicts with the already established lore of spirits and all that. It's simple and doesn't have that much depth, sure, but it is what it is and it worked.
Also the "one wish" thing just kind of makes it sound like a Zelda story.. With Unalaq being Ganondorf..
I mean, I don't know if you're looking for criticism from me here but.. yeah, that's my opinion on that.
Like I said, I'm not that big a fan of fanfiction.

darthblam (07/19/2015) [-] I'm sorry but I just can't take any of it seriously given the show's original setting and plot.
It all just sounds too grim.
I hate to shut you down like an ass, but I really don't have any interest anymore.
I'm sure there are others that would like or appreciate it, but it just ain't my thing.
Maybe if it were its own completely stand alone story and had nothing to do with the Avatar universe it would have some merit to me but.. yeah.
I'm just not a fanfic guy. Sorry.

But.. they did that in the show.. fairly well, I thought..
Maybe not "the entire universe" part, but at least the world. Their world and the spirit world Which really is as big the stakes need to get. Turning it into "the universe" doesn't really up the seriousness of it that much at all if the only part of that universe you know is your world. . In book 2 at least..
Book 4 was just Earth Hitler... it was cool, but not demi-god potentially destroying humanity seriousness like with Unalaq.
But anyway.. it's been a nice chat, but it's 2AM here and I'm tired as **** after watching Antman earlier. Great movie, you'll love it if you've liked any of the other previous Marvel movies.
I'm going to sleep for now.
