Did Sokka Get Married & 9 Other Questions Legend Of Korra Never Answered
While The Legend of Korra gave fans a lot of information on Aang and Katara's children and what happened between them, the show rarely seems to focus on Team Avatar as a whole due to the generational difference. This left fans a bit upset, the show ended up leaving them with just more unanswered questions.
Fans desperately want to know how their favorite Airbender characters turned out, what ships sailed, and where Suki is (one of the most vital Team Avatar members in the fight against the Fire Nation). Luckily, the Avatar: The Last Airbender comics are still being produced, so the hope is still on the horizon to have some of the questions answered. Here are 10 unanswered questions that Korra failed to answer and maybe made us question more.
10 Did Sokka Get Married?
Sokka is one of the few members in Team Avatar to seemingly have no children, so it's unclear if he ever was (or stayed) romantic with anyone. As far as fans know, he was last seen with Suki, the pairing had yet to break up. But Sokka and Suki were still young where the comics left them off, so it is possible that they had an unforeseen breakup between the time they were 18 and his brief appearances in Korra flashbacks.
The series never mentions if he was married or even if he had children, though if he did, fans probably would've heard some sort of mention from Tenzin about his cousins.
9 What Happened To Suki?
This leads into the next question, whatever happened to Suki? She was a member of Team Avatar and fought with them until the very end. In the comics, fans know that she became part of an elite guard that protected Zuko.
She trained new Kyoshi warriors (some of which may have been the ones who trained Asami at a young age). But it is unclear what happened to Suki herself and the show fails to mention her ever, which is pretty messed up.
8 Who Did Zuko Have Izumi With?
It seems like the writers behind The Legend of Korra just didn't want to anger any fans by confirming ships that people may or may not have wanted to happen, because they continuously don't elaborate on who ends up with who. In the series, Zuko has a pretty solid relationship with Mai going on. They bounce off each other wonderfully and seem to motivate one another in the best of ways. However, it is also known that the two break up in the comics.
Mai gets another boyfriend who betrays her trust and dumps him. She also comments that she still loves Zuko and it is made clear to fans that Zuko may still have feelings for her as well. So there is a very big possibility that the pairing got back together and had Izumi. After all, Izumi is quiet, stoic, and a bit harsh like Mai, so the pairing would make sense. But, unfortunately, no one quite knows for sure.
7 Where Are Ty Lee & Mai?
Speaking of Mai, like Suki there is no mention of Ty Lee nor Mai in The Legend of Korra. Ty Lee became a Kyoshi Warrior at the end of The Last Airbender and was part of the group designated to protect and guard Fire Lord Zuko.
She helped the warriors learn chi-blocking and aided Suki in teaching it to new warriors in the Fire Nation. But why isn't she, nor Mai, in Korra? Mai would have confirmed the theories as to whether or not she was Izumi's mother, and Ty Lee would have been a great involvement for the Amon arc of the series.
6 Where Is Azula?
Though Fire Lord Ozai was the main antagonist of The Last Airbender, Azula definitely fit that profile more. She was incredibly problematic and just liked being evil. Many fans wanted her to go through a redemption arc, but she would never accept the opportunities she was given.
In the series, we know that Azula got locked up for her crimes and went a little crazy. In the comics, she is often still locked up but occasionally has been released for specific missions, but always finds herself back in a cell. It would have been nice to know what happened to her, did she remain in prison or did she somehow escape? Was she ever redeemed?
5 Why Is Azula The Only Firebender Who Can Produce Blue Flames?
This question is definitely more minor than the rest, but it's still really interesting that Azula was the only one able to conjure up blue flames between The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. Blue flames are naturally way hotter than that of red or orange flames.
They produce way more heat, like that of an explosion. It is a theory that Azula, as crazy and demented as she was, had the ability to conjure up these hotter flames due to the fact that she was just so much angrier than the rest. She wasn't more powerful, necessarily, but more wild and uncontrollable. Azula was filled with more heat through her extreme emotions.
4 Who Is Suyin's Father?
The question of who did Toph end up with a big one. No one knew for the longest time who Lin's father was, but then fans learned that Toph had a second daughter from a different father again. So now we needed two dads.
In the series, Toph mentioned that Lin's father was a man named Kanto, though little information is known about him. Lin is six years older than Suyin, so in between that time, Toph found another man. There are a lot of theories about Suyin's father and most of them revolve around Sokka. Lin is pale like her mother, while Suyin has a nice tan going that greatly resembles that of the water tribe, that of Sokka. Many of Suyin's kids (specifically Baatar Jr. and Huan) look very similar to Sokka when compared to side by side images.
3 Did Sokka Ever Get His Boomerang Back?
In the series finally, Sokka threw his boomerang for a final time, which save his and Toph's life. He also lost his sword in that final battle. Both his sword and his boomerang seemed to be part of Sokka's identity. He was a non-bender and relied heavily on his boomerang, even calling himself "the boomerang guy" on a number of occasions.
Sokka became the chief of the Southern Water Tribe and has a statue dedicated to him. In the statue, he is holding a boomerang, so maybe it really did come back to him.
2 How Did Iroh Join The White Lotus?
One of the most mysterious aspects of the world in Avatar is the White Lotus. Fans got to learn a little more about it in The Legend of Korra, but the process of becoming a member of the White Lotus is still a mystery. And furthermore, it is very unclear how Iroh joined them, and when. Before the death of his son, Iroh was a completely different character. He was ruthless, nearly as bad as Ozai himself.
He wanted the Fire Nation to reign supreme. So what did he do to make the White Lotus consider him a worthy member? And how much after did he join? Fans know he reformed his ways and became the best character in the series, but what pushed it over for the organization to consider and trust him with their secrets?
1 Does Team Avatar Still Meet Up?
Team Avatar were the best of friends, and a few of the key members are still around by the time Korra starts, Toph, Katara, and Zuko. But they're all very separated. Katara is in the Southern Water Tribe, Zuko in the Fire Nation, and Toph lives in the Swamps.
It is unknown if the members still ever meet up with one another and how they communicate if they still do. They may all be old in age by now, but fans see a couple of them travel, so maybe they travel to each other as well.
