That is the official story,” co-creator Bryan Konietzko wrote on his Tumblr in a post titled “Korrasami is canon.”įrom the vantage point of 2020, the last beats of Legend of Korra seem like a meager offering for LGBTQ+ representation. “You can celebrate it, embrace it, accept it, get over it, or whatever you feel the need to do, but there is no denying it. When it played, there was a small uproar that alternately confirmed and questioned that ending: Simply holding hands was one thing, but that last shot of Korra and Asami looking into each other’s eyes - did that mean what fans thought it did?Ī few days later, the creators would confirm, yes, Korra and Asami were two bisexual women in love with each other. That’s how The Legend of Korraended on Nickelodeon almost six years ago. They were in love, and for a moment everything seemed beautiful. The final moments seemed like a dream: Two women, pitted against each other over a man so many years ago, turned and gazed lovingly into each other’s eyes as they clasped hands.
Korra co-creator Bryan Konietzko has acknowledged that there was “a limit to how far” the series could go with Korra and Asami’s relationship without losing network support.
