** Korra misusing the Avatar State to win a race, Asami having to work to save her failing company and Bolin becoming a Captain to a Probending team all make sense given what we saw of them in Book 1. In other words, it\'s like they\'re trying to make Mako as cool as possible, even if what he\'s doing clashes with his Book 1 portrayal.

So in addition to getting off scot free for his mistake (And no, just no. Just because everyone makes mistakes is no reason not to improve from them), he\\\'s being pretty skillful despite not being a near godlike being/experienced warrior and having a cool job which isn\\\'t supported with his Book 1 portrayal (as well as getting to be the first know Firebending Cop). I mean can\\\'t he just be average in something he does, as opposed to being the best?
How is he not deemed a Mary Sue?

* Heck, in Book 2 he\'s a cop, why? Granted, his characterization was inconsistent, to a degree he came off as someone more concerned with protecting only those that are close to him. And while he made a joke about Korra\'s only friend being a polar bear dog, his jokes in regard to responding to the crooks he captured feels more like the kind of joking that Bolin would do.

Thus it\\\'s a bit iffy that he\\\'s suddenly interested in a profession that involves protecting countless strangers. And while he made a joke about Korra\\\'s only friend being a polar bear dog, his jokes in regard to responding to the crooks he captured feels more like the kind of joking that Bolin would do.

* How about the fact that even though he was poor and unable to afford lessons, that he has skills that should be beyond his capabilities?

* How about the fact that even though he was poor and unable to afford lessons, that he has skills that should be beyond his capabilities? I mean take Bloodbending. If an experienced Avatar like Aang couldn\\\'t resist it without going into Avatar State, then why should Mako of all people succeed?
** Or for that matter, being able to use lightning without killing someone (which even the elder Iroh couldn\\\'t do)?
