And it’s not that the show doesn’t sometimes explore that, it’s that it often explores it so tepidly as to render the constant decisions to make everyone family feel hack. Again, there’s so much short-hand assumption that blood means EVERYTHING (along with assuming characters will fill roles that ones in the old show did). The moment when Korra’s Dad looks to the northern water tribe leader and is like “brother!” and Bolin and Mako look at each other like “oh no!” gave me all sorts of bad flashbacks to the worst instincts of last season.
Part of the reason this is true is because EVERYONE’S FREAKING RELATED.
Though that could certainly be extended to sibling issues. Ya know, call me crazy, I’m beginning to think maybe this show has brother issues. Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 / Season One Finale Korra coverage continues! If you missed season one recaps, here ya go!
