    I think he has one or two, but yeah basically just completely ignores him.

    That’s fair, it’s hard for a spin off series to capture the magic when a lot of the love comes from character chemistry. I personally grew up with Avatar on Nick and still found Korra to be enjoyable, but I didn’t have as much of an attachment to ATLA as some people so I didn’t really feel like it was missing that special something.

    I like the TLOK cast, minor characters included. The only thing that never sat well with me was the rushed Asami/Korra romance that wasn’t even really hinted at previously as more than a friendship, unless you consider her responding to letters as a specifically romantic situation. Obviously it would be difficult to get away with showing an openly bi/lesbian romance in a nickelodeon cartoon but it felt like they were just trying to imply it for tokenism instead of committing or just not having Korra end up with someone at all.
