Discussions and speculation on this love triangle goes here. How will it end? Heartbreak? OT3? A mysterious fourth person to sweep someone away? Have at it. Just keep passionate opinions in check; we're all entitled to our own ships, etc.

I've never really been much of a shipper, but I can really see myself enjoying the evolving relationship between these characters. I agree that Bolin will been seen as more of a friend in Korra's eyes. But I would imagine that it will bother him a little that she doesn't fall for him like all the other girls seem to. I think the Korra/Mako relationship will be an interesting one to watch develop because he seems very much untrusting of new people and Korra, being from small south pole village seems to trust fairly blindly. I'm sure that the potential Korra/Mako relationship will cause some strife between the brothers though.

I have to agree with what kaangluv said, from what I have seen so far of the love triangle I can see Korra totally friend zoning Bolin in the near future. On the other hand we have Mako, Mr secretive broody man in the corner with his snarky comments hahaha I can see Korra being more interested in Mako in the long run.
But is it only me? Or is someone else thinking that Mako might end up having different priorities? Meaning that he is going to become a villain down the line. I got that vibe for some reason *shrugs*

I don't think Bolin has any real serious interest in Korra...he just sees a pretty girl he hasn't flirted with yet. I think the friend-zone thing will be mutual.

My opinion isn't solidly (though partly... ^3<") based on the blink-or-you'll- miss-it sneak peak bit in one of the Legend of Korra trailers, but I think Korra and Mako is a promising future relationship. Though, I'm a little torn between Bolin and Mako, since I love both characters so much! This is a doozie. T^T" Bolin and Korra? or Mako and Korra? Hmmm </3

I personally think Zutarians deserve a little Makorra. Lol, kidding, I swear. I'm thinking Bolin's ladies-man tendencies will do him in before Korra even shows any kind of interest. She's pretty fiery. She needs someone to keep up with her, and someone to calm her down. I think Mako can be that. Also, by the looks of the previews, we're already looking at some interesting moments between the two.

I'm thinking Bolin's ladies-man tendencies will do him in before Korra even shows any kind of interest. She's pretty fiery. She needs someone to keep up with her, and someone to calm her down. Yeah she is very fiery and bold-if it weren't for her Southern Watertribe outfit and looks I would definitely question if this girl wasn't Fire Nation. She definitely seems to have an affinity for firebending but that's probably because it was the last element she mastered. Still Mako's cool under fire style is very different from the firebenders we've seen. His cool persona along with her fiery one, although opposite, is actually quite complimentary. Though no doubt these two are going to have a bumpy start getting along and learning how to work together. This will make for cool character development and plot nonetheless. Also, by the looks of the previews, we're already looking at some interesting moments between the two. The heavy amount of spoilerage in previews actually worries me. In one preview Korra confronts Mako and tells him to admit that he likes her. And then there are screencaps of them kissing or rather Korra making the move on Mako and kissing him! Not sure if her bold attitude might actually come to shoot down this relationship. Then there's possibility of new characters emerging. There's definitely a a female character who will make an appearance. She's rich, highly skilled at combat, and not to mention good looking. Then there's a 'Pretty boy' black haired character coming into the picture too. Although it seems like he and Korra don't get on the right foot at first there might be something between them if not a crackship for sure xD I personally think Zutarians deserve a little Makorra. Lol, kidding, I swear. Haha! My first thought after seeing Southern Watertribe Korra and Firebending Mako: The avatar's not the only one who reincarnated-Zutarians are gonna make a comeback for sure. Lol. Although Korra looks a lot like a Katara on steroids. I kid. Korra looks badass whereas Katara looked kickass-she actually reminds me a lot of Toph's personality! Something of a mix if Katara and Toph would have had a lovechild. Haha. Mike and Bryan did mention that Mako reminds them of Zuko. But regardless Zuko and Katara aren't like Mako and Korra. Very different characters. Still the fire/water and opposite personalities would be appealing to people as a romantic possibility. We have yet to actually see a fire/water pairing interestingly enough! geez is that too much to ask for or do these two elements simply cant stand one another xD

Yeah, they're not the same characters by any means, but I enjoy it all the same.
Can I just say that I LOVE how athletically built she is. That's not a typical body type for a female character, and I love that she is realistically fit - she's not like a lot of Western super heroines who are always contorted with teeny waists and large you-know-whats. And she's not like the typical anime Sailor Moon stereotype either (I love SM, but you know).

I don't want to call a ship yet-I feel it's way too early in the game. we know new characters are on the way so there's bound to be more interactions. Still it does seem Mako and Korra are going to be canon. Seeing as how its not scheduled to be a long series it may be endgame but we can't be sure of that. I do like them though, I will admit.

And she's not like the typical anime Sailor Moon stereotype either (I love SM, but you know). For sure! She has the Warrior build going on for her and its awesome! At first I thought it looked a little awkward in some instances-especially in the scenes from the back, but then it grew on me and I really this look for her. She has Southern Watertribe in her-possibly even warrior blood in her so no doubt she's tough. Then she's the Avatar whose mastered three elements! No doubt after mastering Earthbending, complimentary guns come with the package-even Aang gained a little muscle after season 2 Then there's the fact that she's a female character. So far female prototype characters are disappointing-body proportions waaaay exaggerated. It's amazing how in some Anime's, a female characters eyes are larger than her waist line xD haha. Besides, you have to be built to probend anyways! [Probending FTW!]

I really think that Korra and Mako have a mutual interest in each other at this point, though Korra is more infatuated with Mako than he is with her. It wouldn't surprise me in the least for Korra to make a move on Mako sooner than later (that kiss, perhaps?). However, I don't think they're going to be the ship in the end. I think that they're going to try and fail to make something work out, but I get the feeling that in the end, Korra/Bolin will be what ends up happening.
So far I much prefer Bolin's personality, and she and Bolin have interacted incredibly easily since their first meeting. Mako and Korra didn't have that chemistry in the beginning, and while it could develop as they spend more time together, I get the feeling that they just aren't particularly compatible.
But at this point, it's ALL speculation on my part.
(Yes, I'm shipping Borra.)

But at this point, it's ALL speculation on my part.(Yes, I'm shipping Borra.) Wow-quick to ship! I'm waiting. Gonna be Switzerland for now. I know there are two additional characters. Plus there's sure to be one-shots and new characters introduced along the way and I want to remain "open to the possibilities" for now Bolin did save Korra from getting into trouble again. She was grateful and their chemistry/interaction definitely was both entertaining and positive. I see these two more as a comic duo. Their scenes are definitely going to be funny. I'm not sure how romantic they'll get though. Bolin did say he thought Korra was special/different...I'm sure there might be something on his part but he's a lady man! Who knows, really. Still, I'm under the impression that not all relationships start off with a smile or friendly gesture. Or even a spark for that matter. So I won't count Mako and Korra out just yet due to their initial encounter. It's their initial encounter that leaves me to believe that they might actually become closer friends since they didn't really get off on the right foot to begin with so the only way to go is up [though they could go down ^-^']. But just wanted to point that not all relationships are love at first sight/friendly interaction from the get go. I agree tthough that for some reason I feel Mako and Korra are gonna have a tumultuous friendship for some reason...

I was pretty easy going with the whole Kataang/Zutara thing, but this trio is definitely the ship I probably wouldn't mind either way. Mainly because Bolin reminds me of Sokka. And I love and miss Sokka.

There is also that comment that Mako makes about thinking Bolin is out making a house call on Korra. I don't know what to think about that comment especially with the way he said it. He sounded amused which may mean he is doubtful that those two would wind up together in the long run considering his brother's reputation.

Awww, Bolin! This is killing me. I liked Kataang so much because it was what made Katara and (more obviously) Aang happy and above everything, I love seeing my favorite characters happy. But it seems like with either Makorra or Borra someone is gonna end up sad . If Borra is the end result, Mako may be jealous-ish and Korra might not be satisfied. But if Makorra is the end result, we see a sad Bolin like in the latest epi and that just broke my heart. So I'm really stuck here.
