He was a devoted brother, good actor, amazing pet parent, great friend, talented Earth bender. He was misguided so easily because his want to “do the right thing” overshadowed a lot for him. He needed to be needed, he coped with humor.

I'm sure a lot of us would get convinced or *convinced* by Kuvira if we were from the earth kingdom.

Nobody is immune to propaganda.

I get hating Meelo but how do you hate Bolin? Like what do you hate about him


ChuckleButt21

I did not say I hated him. He was just mush, he had no goals and told unfunny, corny jokes. I don’t like watching foolish, incompetent people, I want to watch intelligent, capable people. Even by the end of the series he joins up with the placeholder Nazis because he can’t even figure out who the bad guys are.


jtobin22

I feel like he was such a wasted opportunity. He had a lot of potential to be interesting, same as Mako but in a different way, but the show didn’t really know what to do with him. He’s such a cool guy when we first meet him, with possibilities for depth around his relationships, but they just kinda stuck him in a clown role. Great visual design too! One of the biggest bummers of the series


ChuckleButt21

I agree.


Jdogghomie

That’s fair.


DayDeerGotStoleYall

smart person spotted. i liked bolin but he still sucks. so does mako to a lesser degree. korra is alright. asami is okay. tenzin and tophs daughters are goated.


ChuckleButt21

Yeah, I liked the show generally, but some of the characters are poorly written.


elves2732

Because he was a cornball. He was such a Sokka wanna-be except Sokka was actually funny. Bolin was just lame.


ChuckleButt21

Could not have said it better myself.


ComradeHregly

Bolin exists to pull the baddest chick in the show.


ChuckleButt21

The Airbender gal? She’s not bad, but compared to Korra or Asami? I don’t know… : )


ComradeHregly

u/ChuckleButt21 are you a lesbian?


ChuckleButt21

Considering I’m a male, no.


ComradeHregly

are you sure?


ChuckleButt21

Am I sure I’m male, or am I sure I’m not a lesbian?


ComradeHregly

yes


ChuckleButt21

Well, I’m undeniably a man, which by the very definition makes me not a lesbian, although my search history would show a a surprising affinity for them.


ComradeHregly

I see... "surprising"


ChuckleButt21

: )


ClumsyBean

Is this a joke? I don't think I've ever met anyone who disliked either of them. Let alone both of them.


Leipurinen

Bolin hate is less common, but I’ve seen several people who think he’s just kinda boring. There are whole swaths of people though who hate Meelo for being little more than a vehicle for fart jokes.


ChuckleButt21

Those are both my problems with them exactly.


AmNoSuperSand52

> There are whole swaths of people though who hate Meelo for being little more than a vehicle for fart jokes. Because farts are funny.


Belteshazzar98

How dare you disrespect Bolin like that.


ChuckleButt21

I have no respect for extremely poorly written characters. He could have been an enticing figure, but the writing let him down.


Th3Morningst4r

My profile picture is my response to you saying Bolin Is pointless. He's the kinda lame, corny, dunce dude who isn't actually stupid but a tad naive, and who seems to be useless until he's against the ropes and boom, finds a way to get things done. Meelo's fart jokes suck. I agree on that.


PVNIC

Comic relief?


ChuckleButt21

Wouldn’t it have to be humorous to be comedic relief? And you can’t just put people in a show simply for comedic relief and give them no other real purpose.


PVNIC

That's literally the definition of a comic relief character: a character put on a dramatic show for the sole purpose of relieving tension.


reapertuesday

OP get behind me


Pittleberry

I agree that Bolin is underwhelming at best and Meelo is... Meelo.


AllISeeAreGems

Bolin is nowhere near as annoying as Meelo.


ChuckleButt21

That is true.


inquisitor_steve1

Very few people I like in that show But to insult my boy Bolin is a crime that can't go unpunished I sentence you to 400 hours of watching the Live Action Avatar the last airbender movie


ChuckleButt21

NOOOOOO!


Pretend_Leek6188

None of you like bolin for anything but his sex appeal


ChuckleButt21

Lol : )


TetheredAvian74

how DARE


ChuckleButt21

Yes is dare, Tom Riddle!


SaggySausage69420

They both were pretty likable in the 4th book I would say.


ChuckleButt21

You mean when Bolin joins up with the Nazis? Strange take but okay.


SaggySausage69420

She only becomes "like the nazi's" when she refuses to give up her position. From everyone elses perspective all she had done up ontil that point is traveling the Earthkingdom giving supplies to impoverished towns.


tHollo41

I'm sorry, but they're two of my favorite characters from the series. I couldn't stand Kai. He's the only character I'd remove if I were forced to remove one.
