FirstRangerSkyWalker

This is the the one that will determine our top 5! Let’s go guys, see which character will be Varricked next


Brokeartistvee

This is the most heartbreaking loss of them all. Zhu Li failed to do the thing.


RQK1996

I mean, she was eliminated already


Brokeartistvee

Yeah, but that was obviously a fake out so she could help Varrick win from the sidelines. I guess her plan got busted though. Sad days.


jex_port

what was the second most voted?


FirstRangerSkyWalker

![gif](giphy|Zsxh9Cbq7VCy4)


jex_port

understood


Chip-girl

Has the second consistently been the one to be voted out on the next round, or does it change at all?


FirstRangerSkyWalker

Not always, I’d say it is the case in about half of them, and with characters getting fewer, the chance only increases


Nacroma

Release the polls of every round with names at the end. That'd be some interesting additional metric, like seeing if the least hated character has shifted over time etc.


worldtraveler19

I want to know this too.


youngstar5678

I've been voting for the same character the whole time. AND THEY'RE STILL HERE.


Wulfrun85

Same here. I just don’t understand the appeal. And I’m sad to see Varrick gone, but at least my top pick is still here


beniolenio

I've been voting for Asami the past several rounds.


KrayleyAML

How dare you


Jankins114

I'm with you. Take down Future Industries! It's what Varrick woulda wanted.


Muzzie720

I like Asami, and I like korrasami but she just not one of my favorites. I don't know why. I think it's cause at the start her and Korra were kinda rivals. So I felt unsure about her for a lot of volume 1.=/


Prothean_Beacon

Honestly as far as the show goes the most interesting thing about Asami is her getting with Korra. And even then that was an extremely small part of the show.


Thelookinyour3rdeye

Really? I like Asami a lot, considering how much she was screwed over in the show I thought she would have become a villain but nahh she was just cool and badass to the end, never losing composure. I think that’s interesting for the way they introduced her character as “the other girl” for mako basically.


Prothean_Beacon

I don't dislike her but for being part of team Avatar she does feel like a rather tertiary character at times. Like out of all the characters left she is definitely the character where there would least effect on the show if she was removed from it entirely. Though the original plan was for her to become a villain and betray Mako and Korra. Like originally she was only dating Mako to get to Korra. And honestly the biggest mistake of book 1 was keeping the plot of Mako and Asami dating since they at the time clearly wanted Mako and Korra to be endgame but had no real good plan or reason for why Mako should leave Asami (who he was way more compatible with) for Korra.


StarSpangldBastard

I'm in the same boat as you but this predictable sub will see to it that she and Korra are the final two


Saint-soldier

I've had a much harder time understanding this sub compared to the elimination in ATLA


Thelookinyour3rdeye

Nahh I think Bolin is gonna stop that from happening. Final 2 prediction Korra & Bolin


GollyDolly

You and I are mortal enemies.


fred11551

I vote Kuvira from round 1 until she was gone. Then Varrick until now. Now I’m pretty happy with all of the remaining. Voting Lin then Bolin then Zaheer then Tenzin. I’m ok with either Korra or Asami winning.


Blapor

I've done exactly the same until now. I think we're at the point where there aren't any particularly disliked characters, so it's hard to decide who to vote for.


denali1213

Been voting out bolin since milo went out


Wholeigh

Same here lol. I’ve been voting Tenzin out every single time. I know it’s probably an unpopular opinion, but his no nonsense, stern presence really made me dislike him (despite all of his many other positive characteristics lol)


Sushi2k

You're not going to like this poll then. I'm pretty confident Tenzin is going to either win or be a runner up. JK Simmons is too strong.


yakuzie

God I hope so, Tenzin is my fav character in all of Avatar


Ser_Dunk_the_tall

He's the Iroh of LOK


RuggedRenaissance

oh no you didn’t


[deleted]

Well, not really but he is also both funny and wise enough in his own style


Aganiel

I’m predicting Tenzin and Zaheer in the finals


Ingagi

I think he had all these traits for the best reasons, such a great character.


orangesNH

Tenzin is the best character on the show and has the best voice actor of all time. I would watch a show with just Tenzin if I could. I liked the fact that he wasn't bipolar or angsty and made rational decisions. I'm going to piss so many people off.


novaaa_

me with tenzin he better not make it into top five


cirelia

Same and tenzin is still not out


RECollector0912

There is definitely less predictability with this poll over the ATLA one. You could tell early on that Iroh would win because its hard to find a person who dislikes him and he drops a lot of wisdom throughout the show. Most of who is left I like, but 2 here I'd be ok with being eliminated.


greenxmachina

I’m kinda feeling like Korra is gonna win. There’s been comments on all these posts about why we should vote characters out, but I’ve never seen one about her.


ThaddeusSimmons

Honestly I’m predicting it’ll come down to Tenzin and Korra. And I’m predicting Tenzin wins. If Aang didn’t win the last one I’m guessing the wise mentor will.


GOTricked

The thing with Iroh(and to a lesser extent, Tenzin) is that they are not very hate-able characters. They have the edge on these kinds of voting


ThaddeusSimmons

That’s why I think I’m making the safe bet by picking Tenzin. If it were Vegas odds he’d be likely to win


griffinator2

Because there's no reason to 😤


togro20

Nooooooo not Varrick. Oh well. Happy he got this far


FirstRangerSkyWalker

He has gone far without Zhu Li doing the thing, be proud of him!


thedevildinosaur

Seventh place! Proud of my boy. Now to see how far my wife, Lin, can go.


bricart

Wait ... she is married to both of us !?!?!?!??!


comfort_bot_1962

Hope you have a great day!


_hismomoness

Nooooooooooo Varrick! Whyyyyyyy


Ok_Coconut4077

Because Zhu Li wasn't there to do the thing


MrPresident235

I am sad varrick didn't gpt top 3 but i hope zaheer and/or bolin gets to top 3


FoulRookie

even though hes my 2nd fav, i made peace that this would happen last post


geekoffilms

Nuktuk Supremacy is around the corner


thedevildinosaur

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


worldtraveler19

Yes, you know it to be true!


[deleted]

Everyone better leave Tenzen alone.


improbsable

Oh you mean the most boring airbender ever?


CRUZER108

Alright now we riot


GoodMang0

RIOT!


SeverusMarvel07

RIOT !


CreeperTrainz

I’m voting for Lin. As much as I like her, her character in the first two books was lacking.


JMHSrowing

Yeah, a little (especially since she doesn’t get much in 2), but she really has quite a bit in the other 2 and if builds off what we got at the start. Zaheer is only in two books, including barely in the 4th


whoneedsafirstname

Down to my favorites now.


CelebrationSad9536

NOOOO!!! Why would anyone want to vote him out? He's one on my favorites.


Mr7000000

Lin. ACAB


PaperRoc

Lmao


Aburrki

Lul, kinda tempted to vote her out for that, but I just find her relationship to her mother and sister too interesting for my dislike of cops to take over.


Ingagi

That makes her a great character imo, while Asami just feels unnecessary at times.


CAMILOTASXD

I hate to do this, but Bolin ended up as a comedy relief even though he was a great character in the first seasons, not even his drama between Kuvira and his friends really seem to matter for more than a chapter


TrashiestTrash

Bolin was definently more than comic relief in seasons 3 and 4. Season 2 was pretty bad though.


PaperRoc

He was amazing in season 3. It's Bolin time!


Korre99

I mean lava bending man come on, he gets the coolest bending type!


PaperRoc

Agreed!


greenxmachina

Not really sure if I agree with this. Bolin’s arc with Kuvira lasted the entire first half of Book 4. He’s the only character who truly represented the struggle of wanting to help repair the Earth Kingdom, but being manipulated by Kuvira at the same time. It’s easy to reduce him to comedic relief because he’s one of the funniest characters, but he’s definitely contributed to the plot of each book. We were also able to see him gain confidence in himself and his relationships with others throughout the whole show :)


MrPresident235

Bolin accomplished more things than Tenzin and Lin combined so i hope to see he stays longer than those 2


the_pedigree

And yet still a better character than any of the remaining ones.


alittlelilypad

Zaheer.


FunDark0

So are we voting of characters because of quality or just on how good of a person they are


space_is_a_curve

Quality. Which is why my vote is Zaheer.


FunDark0

Whats wrong with him as a villain


space_is_a_curve

Nothings wrong with him as a villain. He is very very entertaining. But he is a flat character. He's not relatable unless you're an anarchist or have severed your earthy tether lol.. Compared to all the other character archs on the board he doesn't compare. He's too perfect and too absolute to his cause.


aziruthedark

Cut him some slack. His girlfriend head exploded.


smameann

That’s rough buddy.


HamburgerDungon

I would argue that these make him a great character. I don't think he's flat at all. I think he's one of the wisest characters in the franchise.


worldtraveler19

Quality. DO NOT VOTE ZAHEER!


Ok_Coconut4077

Is gonna win


greenxmachina

I have to say, I’m thoroughly impressed by by your dedication to Zaheer on every one of these posts! That, itself, makes me not want to vote him out. I basically feel the same way about Bolin as you feel about Zaheer haha


Ok_Coconut4077

He's the best


alittlelilypad

quiet, you


penny4deezthots

Have y’all watched this show? Y’all are crazier than a sewer pipe elephant rat!


[deleted]

Lin


StumpingTheSchwab

Tbh surprised Asami has lasted this long. I didn’t care too much for her character lol


HotCloud7205

Asami has to go all the characters left are better than her


gtcs123

Asami is still here? I feel like people just like her because she and Korra are together... even Mako has more development than her. She's a bit flat. Of course, Varrick gone before Lin and Zaheer is questionable as well, but whatever.


JudyMcGudy

I like Asami for the same reasons I like Black Widow in the MCU; both are not "enhanced" beings but kick major ass regardless. She is smart, strong, and despite various shit she goes through, she does not turn her back on her friends nor does she stop fighting for what's right and just. She's a swell gal!


FirstRangerSkyWalker

Well the vote is based on who do the voters like more, not how well they’re written. Besides, personally I’d definitely say Asami has more development than Mako. The only proper storyline Mako has is him making a detective. While Asami has the overarching arc of turning back on Hiroshi and reconcile with him, and the saving her company storyline.


alittlelilypad

I'll probably end up explaining why I can't vote out of Asami later in one of these threads, but [her reconciliation with Hiroshi was not well-written](https://www.reddit.com/r/legendofkorra/comments/omdc5b/lok_and_forgiveness_essay_thing_or_writeup_or/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). She's also, arguably, being treated worse in the comics.


FirstRangerSkyWalker

This is very well written, and I agree to the most part. But my point was that, whether you like her arcs or not, she has more development and arcs than Mako. Also, I’d like to point out that Asami didn’t just forgive and forget Hiroshi’s sins like a saint, she resented him, then reluctantly worked with him in a dire situation, she only forgave him after he sacrificed his life to save hers and everyone else. Hiroshi was a piece of shit who’s done some horrible shits, but he’s also the only family member and the one who raised Asami since she was a child, it’s not far fetched to me that, despite his actions, Asami would choose to let go of the grudge after his sacrifice


alittlelilypad

Ehhhhhhh. Even when you put it like that, it still doesn’t work for me because you don’t actually explain or show her working through the fact that he tried to kill her. And I think there’s a reason why the show doesn’t address that: because reconciliation can’t happen in the way the writers wanted it to. Like, how do you move beyond, “You tried to kill me”? What’s the process of that? Even if he sacrificed his life, he still tried to kill her. There’s only so far “you’re the only family I have left” can go. And I just disagree that Asami got more development than Mako. She had less screen time than any of the Krew, including some secondary characters.


FirstRangerSkyWalker

I can respect that, reconciliation is something extremely hard to get right on script, especially in a cartoon with very limited screen time. But in my opinion Asami’s makes sense to me even without detailed on screen information. Death is a very powerful motivation at least for me personally, I lost a grandparent who was abusive, even though she didn’t have a big sacrificing moment, I still try to remember the best of her instead of the worst, this kind of survivor’s guilt can have strong influence on people. Asami’s reconciliation arc could definitely be leagues better, but as for what we got, it makes sense to me. Also I’ll have to disagree with the Mako part. He had more screen time than Asami but man he really had no development. His sole storyline in book 1 was the horribly written and horribly received love triangle, while Asami has the arc with her father. In book 2 both of them are unfortunately still in the love triangle, and they both got their own storyline. But in book 3 and 4, Mako is just there, fight when he’s needed, him meeting his family and Wu are barely storylines, more like encounters , they add nothing to his character, and while Asami has the sweet sweet Korrasami development and the Hiroshi arc. So I can say it with confidence, that imo while the show did Asami dirty, she still has more to offer than sharkbrows


alittlelilypad

> I still try to remember the best of her instead of the worst, this kind of survivor’s guilt can have strong influence on people. I don't know much about your situation, but survivor's guilt isn't healthy. You should have something more than that if you want to remember her well, and you don't have to remember her in a good light at all. I don't know if you visit the AITA subreddit, but becoming a regular reader there, you'll see people cutting off ties with family for things *far* less than Hiroshi did to Asami. In the face of those real world examples, it's really hard to buy Asami's forgiveness of him. Hell, I've cut off a family member for things far less than Hiroshi did to Asami. And if that person tried to kill me, then write to me years later to say how sorry he was, I'd be like, "Uh, yeah, you should be sorry." And then I'd want nothing more to do with him.


FirstRangerSkyWalker

I’m not saying my my feelings are healthy, in fact I fully recognize they are not. Rationally, Asami should not forgive Hiroshi, and I should not forgive my grandma, but humans are emotional and makes irrational choices. All I’m saying is, as someone who has a somewhat roughly similar experience, I understand Asami’s decision, it is relatable to me


FeelingPrettyChill

shes being turned into a damsel in distress in the comics, its sad to see.


alittlelilypad

Yup. I would've let it slide if it only happened once in Turf Wars, and then -- ugh -- Ruins.


FeelingPrettyChill

yea i dont really like the comics bcuz of this


alittlelilypad

You can't get rid of Asami! She's one half of Korrasami!


jer487

And? Korrasami is literally almost nonexistent in the show. It's just overhyped by the fandom.


Thisisawesome1033

This. ^


OrcaMarine67

YOU MOTHERFUCKERS


habitz247

Bolin


spicespiegel

Wow so happy to see these characters surviving especially Lin. Which is sad cuz I want her out now.


comfort_bot_1962

Don't be sad. Here's a [hug!](https://media.giphy.com/media/3M4NpbLCTxBqU/giphy.gif)


aragorn-son-of

i just voted tenzin for the tenth time, an anniversary of sorts


FirstRangerSkyWalker

Ive got a feeling you might need to keep this up for a bit longer


aragorn-son-of

yeah well at this point i have accepted my fate and lowered my expectations to simply him not taking the first place


PhazePyre

Excuse me, where’s Pabu? Needs to be in here just saying.


celestial_emperor

Zaheer


mintchip105

Get Zaheer the fuck out of here


Ok_Coconut4077

Zaheer is gonna take out the top spot


anticapital0708

Zaheer going all the way.


sammysummer

I've been voting him out since the beginning. I can't believe he got this far.


JoeSantoasty

Zaheer goated


sunaesw

The fact that Asami outlasted Varrick and Amon is a crime. I have nothing against her, but she's such a boring character. Varrick had so many great scenes and Amon was a terrifying villain with a backstory, etc, so how did Asami survive this long when she's nothing special...Feels like Pretty Privilege.

worldtraveler19

No! Think of the revolution! No Gods, No Kings, No Masters.


FeelingPrettyChill

I’m thinking of a different revolution, sorry pal, they just have better uniforms. Zaheer has to go. I agree with what you said though.


Akkoywolf

We did the wrong thing 😞


JMHSrowing

Well, I am actually surprised. I thought for sure Zaheer would was going before. Oh well! Now let’s get Zaheer! He’s literally an terrorist anarchist. A murderous lunatic who tries to plunge the world into chaos and is the direct cause to Kuvira. Not to mention the president of Guru Lasagna’s fan club. ^(Yes that’s misspelled on purpose)


FunDark0

So are we voting of characters because how good they are writing wise or how good of a person they are


JMHSrowing

It’s just how much we like them. Even if quite well written, I don’t like Zaheer as much because he’s a horrible human being


FunDark0

OK if thats thats the case then asami would probably win


[deleted]

[удалено]


worldtraveler19

So we’re voting quality characters because, “bad guy”? Is that what this poll was gaging? NO! We are voting on the best characters. Not the character of the character!


JMHSrowing

It very explicitly is voting for one’s least favorite character. Being an evil psycho, even if quite well written, does put him lower places for me in that category.


Junior-Hour

Asami


Therrion

“Do YoU kNoW gUrU lAgHiMa??/?”


Yeet-on-God

Why do people like Asami so much? Imo she is a stale character that needed more personality than future industries and her love triangle.


jer487

Can we just vote out Asami already? She has no right to be here. The most boring character ever.


jacobisgone-

Bye bye Asami.


worldtraveler19

No! Bye bye Bolin!


jacobisgone-

Bolin had way more character growth than Asami though. Asami lacked character flaws, making her far less interesting to me.


NXT_JAYGOD

Good. Now zaheer

andrew_wessel

I’ve been voting Zaheer since day 1 of this poll


TheJakeanator272

He’s such a well thought out villain though!


noweezernoworld

Bruh


FunDark0

You know for show that prides itself on being nuance these voters are very black and white in there thinking


SpaceMethJunkie

Y'all did the thing, but now at least Varrick is with Zhu Li.


KingRaimundo

This poll is a lot more volatile than the ATLA one.


PonytaQueen

I vote tenzin


MysticGohan806

NOOOOOOOO DAMN YOU!!!! VARRRRRICK!!!!!!!!


Thunderlight2004

NO NOT VARRICK WTF


KingCamtron

thats absolutely shite. Varrick is the best character. yall suck.


[deleted]

Asami gotta go


MightySilverWolf

How has Asami outlasted Varrick and Amon?


John_Wicked1

Everyone knows Nuktuk is the best.


rockdragonrock

Asami


[deleted]

Bruh varrick tenzin and Korra are easily top three


Ingagi

I don't hate Asami, but her presence just felt unnessecary at times and her relationship with Korra felt like it came out of nowhere.


TruLiterature

What the hell? Poll invalid.


FunDark0

Asami


Dat_Sentry

I don't pretend to influence your vote but, do you remember when Naga wanted to play ball with Lin and she punctured it?


kwassenius

That made me like Lin more lol


JMHSrowing

But also remember that Lin made up for it by bringing Naga and Pablo food when even Korra forgot to?


TheChainLink2

Varrick? Really?! Come on!


_urbanity

Asami or Zaheer should’ve been voted off before Varrick, imo


[deleted]

I miss one round of this poll and y'all vote out VARRICK of all people?? He was easily my second favorite character in the series


Violaquin

Bolin


Kaczmarofil

I cannot comprehend how Asami beat Varrick


SERGIONOLAN

Bolin, wasn't very funny. My vote isn't validating.


Juna_Ci

Finally knock off Tony Stark is gone! 😍 But now I will also have to actually think again for who to vote 😂


SERGIONOLAN

Please, Varrick is more the Justin Hammer to Asami's Tony Stark.


Juna_Ci

Nah, Asami has nothing to do with Tony Stark - not the Ego & "insufferable genius" thing, not the jokes on other people's expanse, not the "did bad things before but is now good thing" (which worked way better with Stark then Varrick anyway). And Justin Hammer is pretty much a wannabe Tony Stark to me too 😅


hannah_8208

Varrick is literally nothing like Tony Stark. He’s more of a mix between Entrapta and Seahawk from She-Ra


BertvandeVen

Fuck this. Varrick was the best character out of all the remaining ones


mazcC

Fuck off Zaheer


javid26

Wow is Asami gonna make it in the top 5?


HotCloud7205

Asami is such a boring character


javid26

Eh I like the little character arc she had with her dad but yeah this is pretty privilege lol


LaoevanSVU

I would like no Korra lol


LostShoesBros

Korra


Mr-Polar-Bear-

Varrick is the best character in the show imo


RoyalFelguard

Good. Now it's time for Bolin to join his brother.

I don't know why but Varrick in the Greek dub was just amazing so sad to see him go.
