THIS IS MY HEAD CANON, INSTEAD OF IT BEING A PLAY IT WOULD BE A SILENT BLACK AND WHITE MOVIE. WITH A FEW HORRIBLE EDITING MISTAKES AND AIR SHIPS BEING HELD UP BY STRING. MAKO WOULD BE DEPICTED AS A PANSY DESPITE HIS AWESOME BENDING SKILLS. BOLIN WOULD BE A REAL LADIES MAN WHO ACTUALLY HAS GOOD PICK UP LINES. KORRA WOULD BE (OTHER THAN AN IGNORANT COUNTRY GIRL) AN IMPLIED SLUT FLIRTING WITH EVERY YOUNG GUY (AND ASAMI) SHE SEES. NAGA WOULD BE PLAYED BY 2 GUYS IN A POLARBEAR-DOG COSTUME. ASAMI WOULD BE THE ONLY CHARACTER WHOSE PERSONALITY THEY NEARLY GOT RIGHT THE ONLY DIFFERENCE WOULD BE THAT SHE FLAUNTS HER WEALTH MORE. TENZIN WOULD ALWAYS BE CALM EVEN IN SITUATIONS WHERE THE REAL TENZIN WOULD LOSE IT. LIN WOULD BE WAY MORE SELF RIGHTEOUS CONSTANTLY SAYING "FOR THIS CITY!" AND AMON HAS A STRANGE ATTRACTION TO THE AVATAR.
THE MOMENTS IN THIS MOVIE THAT WILL MAKE THE CHARACTERS CRINGE.
KORRA FLIRTS WITH THE OWL GUY (THE FANS NAMED HOWL) TO LET HER OUT OF THE COMPOUND. AND THAT'S HOW SHE LEAVES THE SOUTH POLE (NO UNDERGROUND TUNNELING). THEN WHEN SHE BREAKS INTO THE PRO-BENDING ARENA SHE SEE'S BOLIN FIRST AND IS ALL OVER HIM UNTIL SHE SEES MAKO PLAY AND IS ALL OVER HIM. MAKO OF COURSE WOULD BE CLUELESS BECAUSE HE THINKS THE AVATAR WOULD NEVER FALL FOR A GUY LIKE HIM. THOSE SCENES WOULD MAKE THE REAL KORRA HIDE HER FACE IN HER HANDS AND PISS OFF MAKO (NOT KNOWING THAT THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET WORSE FOR HIM).
AT ANY POINT IN THE MOVIE KORRA LEAVES A FLOATER BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE TOILETS IN RC FLUSH.
AFTER ASAMI HITS MAKO WITH HER MOPED SHE SAYS SHE'S HIROSHI SATO'S DAUGHTER RIGHT OFF THE BACK. WHILE THE REAL ASAMI ROLLS HER EYES. THEN AFTER REALIZING THAT ASAMI IS BOTH RICH AND BEAUTIFUL MAKO ASKS HER OUT. THE REAL MAKO GETS MAD AT THE WRITERS FOR IMPLYING THAT HE'S A GOLD DIGGER WHILE EVERYONE ELSE THINKS IT'S NOT TOO FAR OFF.
THE SCENE WHERE AMON AMBUSHED KORRA CAUSES THE REAL KORRA TO SPIT ALL OVER THE SEAT IN FRONT OF HER AS SHE READS "WHAT A LOVELY FACE" IN THE TITLE CARD.
THERE IS A SCENE WHERE MAKO ASKS BOLIN ABOUT ADVICE ON RELATIONSHIPS WHILE HE IS IRONING AND WEARING A FRILLY APRON. BOLIN JUST HAND HIM HIS "HOW TO BE A MAN" BOOK BEFORE GOING OUT ON A DATE. EVERYONE EXCEPT MAKO LAUGHS REALLY HARD.
MAKO DECIDES WHO HE WANTS TO BE WITH AFTER BOLIN LEAVES BY PICKING FLOWER PETALS WHILE SAYING "I LOVE ASAMI" (PICKS PETAL) "I LOVE KORRA". WHEN THE LAST PETAL IS "I LOVE KORRA" HE DECIDES TO FIND KORRA TO TELL HER HOW HE FEELS ONLY TO FIND BOLIN OUT ON A DATE WITH HER AND SEES THEM KISS. MAKO IS THE ONE WHO RUNS AWAY CRYING. THE REAL MAKO JUST SITS THERE AND BURNS HIS TICKET STUB NOT BOTHERING TO COMPLAIN ANYMORE. WHILE IN THE MOVIE AFTER REALIZING THAT BOLIN HAS BAD BREATH KORRA SAYS "LETS JUST BE FRIENDS". THIS IS THE ONE POINT IN THE MOVIE THAT THE REAL BOLIN GETS UPSET ABOUT HOW HE IS DEPICTED.
THE SCENE WHERE ASAMI AND KORRA BECOME FRIENDS BORDERLINES ON LESBIANISM. THE REAL ASAMI AND KORRA JUST GIVE EACH OTHER A LOOK SIMILAR TO THE ZUKAANG REACTION.
THE SCENE RIGHT BEFORE ASAMI ELECTROCUTES HER FATHER HAS HER BEING COMICALLY DRAMATIC ABOUT HER DECISION WITH HER LEANING OVER AND AN ARM OVER HER FACE. (I HAVE SEEN A FEW SILENT MOVIES PEOPLE DO THAT ALL THE TIME!)
I CAN'T THINK OF ANYMORE SCENES THAT THE CHARACTERS WOULD CRINGE AT OTHER THAN AT THE END WHERE HIROSHI SATO'S NAME IS SOMEWHERE IN THE CREDITS (AS A PRODUCER OR WHATEVER). IT THEN BECOMES APPARENT WHY ASAMI WAS THE MOST ACCURATELY DEPICTED AND WHY KORRA AND MAKO WERE THE MOST NEGATIVELY DEPICTED. IT'S PERSONAL WITH MAKO AND POLITICAL WITH KORRA.
