Am I the only one who feels that this is basically what they did to Bo after the shipping episode? :/ Like…”oop, your part in the story is done, fade into the background now, kthxbye”
Asami got shafted, too. They’re so much better characters than what either of them got. I hope they get more screentime in the next season.
No, seriously. Once they stopped taking Bolin as a serious love interest, they just… stopped taking him serious in general. I spokes with some friends earlier about how the finale was just Bolin putting in comic relief. Asami had giant robot fights, Korra learned to air bend, Mako gave Amon a fist full of lightning, Iroh did… everything in that fight scene, and then Bolin just threw some rocks before just cracking jokes. It was frustrating.
God, if I remember right, he didn’t even really get to HIT anyone with his rocks. Naga ended up being a bigger deciding factor in that battle than him, and that sucks way too hard. :\
Looking back there is just this sad parade of moments where Bolin COULD have been really cool or at least had some deeper interactions with other characters but nope. Not even time to have Bolin talk to his last living family member before he runs off with Korra to fight Amon.
