The Legend of Korra • s ʜ ᴏ ᴛ . ɪ ɴ . ᴛ ʜ ᴇ . ᴅ ᴀ ʀ ᴋ

My name is Hiroshi Sato, and I'm an ordinary citizen of Republic City, just like you. And just like many of you I spent my entire life living in fear- constantly worried that at any moment some bender could attack and take away everything I have, all because they were born with a power that I could never possess.

Several years ago my fears were finally realized when Firebenders took my wife from me while I was helpless to defend her.

But our days of living in fear are over, thanks to Amon.

By destroying the opressive, tyrannical bending government, Amon has ushered in a new era of hope and equality....

I think part of the reason he gets so much hate is because he’s difficult to relate to. And part of the reason Asami is such a fan favorite is because she’s extremely easy to identify with.

Like come on, while all of them have had shit happen to them, Mako has probably experienced the most crap out of the main cast, along with Bolin but even then, he’s done most of the sheltering and protecting and has had no one shelter or protect him.

Asami’s issues are terrible, and not only that but they’re relatable. Wayyy more extreme than most things the target audience will ever face obviously...
