wu's character development.... feels really forced

it's kinda like "hey, i'm still an asshole, but i kinda know how to lead a country sometimes", and i still find it hard to like him
Click to expand...

What makes him an asshole, exactly?
 
okay asshole is probably the wrong word but... he's still really conceited, annoying, and really just does not care about anyone else if they don't benefit him in any way

so yeah i guess asshole is probably the right word

i know he's supposed to be comic relief but i simply can't stand him no matter how hard i try to like him
 
Nah, the only leader being an asshole right now is Kuvira. Aside from that, though, only the Avatar and the members of Team Avatar have really been gung ho about compassion and altruism. As for comic relief, I've always considered Varrick as providing that.
 
varrick's good comic relief, but if wu isn't supposed to be comic relief, what's he supposed to be? i guess they just needed a character to be the earth king once they take kuvira down, but i sure wouldn't feel safe with wu as a leader
 
It's my thought that Wu exists because Suyin doesn't want to lead, and Kuvira's a dictator.
 
I think the moment that cemented Wu's assholiness was when he admitted he's only being helpful because he wants to have a shot at dating Korra, and he doesn't believe in good deeds without ulterior motives. That apparently touching moment where he calmed down the panicking citizens? He most likely did it to get into Korra's pants.

To be honest, I'm kind of hoping the show will go for a curveball and either have Suyin come to terms with the fact that the Earth Kingdom needs a competent leader, or someone else qualified step up. Wu is acting like a sleazeball right now and there isn't much time left for miracle character development.
 
It's currently exam week at school and tomorrow is the last one. So after the exam, me and some of my friends from school are "renting out" a room at school so to speak (not really, just getting permission from the faculty) in order to watch the Korra finale tomorrow. The room is used for large lectures and meetings so there's a big screen and comfy chairs. We're bringing snacks and it's gonna be awesome.
 
Our school is pretty lax (sometimes at least). We've had two Smash tournaments hosted there. Some local players who don't even go to our school came and it was fun. Got wrecked though.
 
The Korrasami is strong in this one. Sucks that Hiroshi died. New spirit portal. ZHU LI AND VARRICK GETTING MARRIED. Better than the TLA finale, don't care what anyone says.
