Writting for these sandbox things is a very interesting exercise because it makes me have all sorts of questions, Korra and Asamis relationship perhaps being one of the main components of the series was never a possibilty because the show was supposed to only exist for one season. But if it was allowed all 4 from the beginning it's very likely Asami would have been heavily reconsidered in terms of storytelling.

So I tried to explore from a longer perspective the "Spy Asami" plot the creators had thought of long ago. One can only imagine how different things would have been book per book. In ATLA the main connecting lines of the show being Aang vs the FireLord and Zukos redemption as a character that later helps Aang, it may seem unfair to see the show that way but it was written in away in which those 2 plots were perhaps the original soul of the show. Korra's focus was mostly on Korra herself and not later connecting points to other characters, if anything Tenzin and Korras relationship I'd say was one of the most fun connecitng dots of the entire show. But what if Asami had been allowed to be another connectign dot in a more powerful way?

It's fun to ponder, but dangerous to stay here, so anyways, that's a wrap

EDIT: It's important to remember Legend of Korra came out between 2012 and 2014, it's pretty insane to see the difference in the TVnetwork culture ever since, Asami and Korra would have probably never been allowed to show direct romantic attraction even if all 4 books were made in a different way, but I'm sure like other shows they would have tried to imply it and still end on a note that basically says "now that it's the end I want you all to know your suspicions throughout the show were valid, they do get a happy ending" (much like they technically did already)
