SBT has just acquired Avatar: The Legend of Korra to its programming schedule, being shown during “Bom dia & Cia”, something that surprised fans as the person who had acquired the previous version “Avatar: The Legend of Aang” had been the Network Globo, however, did not come close to causing controversy. The reason for the “chatter” surrounding the drawing was its ending.
(SPOILER ALERT) The Legend of Korra had 4 seasons shown and produced by Nickelodeon and it is in the 3rd season that all the controversy begins. After ending her relationship with Mako for good, Korra and Asami's friendship begins to be shown in focus during the final half of the 3rd season and throughout the 4th. In the last episode, in the LAST SECONDS, Korra and Asami look deeply at each other, hold hands and go to the spiritual world together.
After the controversial ending was shown, screenwriter Michael Dante DiMartino, one of the creators of the animation, confirmed on his blog the homosexual relationship between Korra and Asami and thanks to this, several websites began to focus on the cartoon.
“SBT Announces cartoon with lesbian romance.” “Lesbian cartoon will be shown on SBT.” “SBT debuts cartoon that caused controversy due to lesbian couple.” AND ALL THE NEWS ARE LIKE THAT, not to mention they still use fan-made montages of a kiss between Korra and Asami (Which never existed).
To begin with, “The Legend of Korra” never emphasized a lesbian relationship, the main story shows the importance of friendship, teaches not to give up with the main character always overcoming herself, teaches to respect values, shows the evolution of a society, It has its funny moments, its sad moments. a very well put together and nostalgic plot for those who watched “The Legend of Aang” but even so the focus of the media is only on the “lesbian relationship”.
Not to mention that there are still sensationalists who go further stating that the change in cartoon hours in the United States was due to the novel. It wasn't even close! The time change was due to fights considered somewhat violent for all audiences.
So, parents, don't worry about your children watching “The Legend of Korra” because the cartoon is great and if your concern is about the child's sexual orientation, don't worry because the adventures of Korra and her friends won't influence anything. .
