10 TV Characters Who Changed In Unexpected Ways

Pretty much every Korra fan agreed when the show came out that the main heroine had significantly more chemistry with the cool headed genius Asami than her supposed love interest Mako. But this being the early 2010's, we never actually expected the show to not only listen, but wholeheartedly agree. Steven Universe was just a fluke...right?

Beyond Korra's two season long discovery about her sexuality, the rest of her character underwent radical and VERY different change compared to the previous Avatar, Aang.

Whereas in The Last Airbender, pretty much everyone agreed that the Avatar was something important for the world to keep moving, in Korra the titular heroine starts to have doubts. Doubts that are only confounded when she's tortured and permanently physically/mentally scarred in the finale of season 3 and the new air nation has to save the day while she almost died without really hurting the villains.

Trying to make some kind of sense out of her life, Korra - after regaining the use of her legs - runs away and spends the next 3 years traveling the world to find herself. All the while plagued with PTSD-induced hallucinations.

While she is able to ultimately come to terms with what happened to her and save the day, it should come as no surprise that Korra decided to take her new girlfriend and run off to the spirit world for a much needed vacation.

Because of Nickelodeon's constant meddling, Korra got off to a rocky start, but Korra's journey in the latter two seasons proves that Mike and Bryant and the Avatar team still had the touch.
