Discussion Which brother do you prefer of the two?

Let's have some fun here, Bolin's my favorite of the two.

Wish I could do polls here still.

Bolin, he’s pretty funny

Mako. I feel like people dog on him a lot while propping up Bolin as if he doesn’t have his own issues. They both had a lot more potential as characters that the series unfortunately did not explore, but I’ve always been more fond of Mako.

Mako, he's one of the few guys who actually takes shit seriously in the series and is often misunderstood and overhated and some ppl go to the point he screwed up the love triangle when he was just a teenager like the others with the twist of him also having a rly screwed up childhood and having surpressed emotions, I do relate to him also besides Korra, but that doesn't mean I don't like Bolin, he's fun also :)

I love both of them but Mako is my boy. Fandom hates him far too much. I relate to him.

Mako.

Bolin’s character is just something I don’t like because of how goofy they make him to the point where it becomes mildly annoying.

Mako, he kinda reminds me of my personality from time to time whenever I get moody.

But I do like Bolin's quirkiness and humor too.

I feel nothing at all towards Mako. Bolin was slightly entertaining at times so I prefer him. But both brothers are far from my favorite characters.

Mako, cuz I hate Bolin.

Guess I'm probably one of the few Mako fans here.

While I do love Bolin, I will absolutely defend Mako all day every day. He definitely made some less than optimal choices during the love triangle but he is definitely gets more shit than he deserves. Some of the stuff he gets shit for are either because he actually he has realistic reactions to most things even if they aren't the best actions, or stuff he was right about but the fandom disagrees with. he has so many good moments throughout the show. Dude straight up blew up a giant robot.

Why would you hate him? What does he do that is hateful?

u/overthinkerforever93 22h ago

I just can't stand him, I find him so annoying and kinda cringe.

Do I need a valid reason to hate a fictional character?

u/gloomydreamer666 22h ago

No, sorry I was curious.

I don’t hate Bolin, but I do not like him. His childish attitude doesn’t do it for me. He also has that trumpet musical motif that comes up everytime he does sth heroic, and I find that thing annoying.

Mako. Hes actually really enjoyable when hes not apart of tbe love triangle lol (I think the same of Korra and Asami). I really loved him in season 4 protecting Wu.

u/MikaelPorter 19h ago

overall i like Bolin more
they were both good in season 1, and both were insufferable in season 2
in season 3 and 4 i liked Bolin more, because he was present and mattered, while Mako's character was mostly a running gag because of his dating history

u/PurpleV93 19h ago

Bolin 100%. I'd love to be friends with him IRL if he was a real person.

Bolin. Mako was done dirty because he was so bland and uninteresting in compare to Bolin.

u/mrsunrider LET GO YOUR EARTHLY TETHER 21h ago

Mako, just because he reminds me a bit of myself.

u/Suspicious_Ad2610 22h ago

I dont dislike him, I actually dislike Mako more, but not hate, simply because of his attitude and how he treated Korra and Asami, my issues with Bolin come from how naive and childish he is, in the first season thinking he could raise money by having Pabu do tricks instead of looking for a proper job like Mako did, trusting a 'job offer from a triad, even falling in with Kuvira. For someone who grew up on the streets and was very loosely part of the triads as a child, he is WAY too naive and childish, doesn't matter how much Mako tried to protect him as he was growing up. Other than I have no issues with Bolin and still like him better than his brother.

Love them both equally. But personally I feel mako is abused and hated on too much. So I choose him.
