...Ok, no need to get condescending. Let me ask you this, if Mako had not been there when Korra lost her bending, what would have happened? As shown, she unlocks airbending when Mako is about to lose his. If he hadn\'t been there? Given the characterization of Korra to that point? I think she would have given up. She\'d have completely failed as the Avatar(she thinks) and now the Equalists had nothing stopping them, so why bother? At that point, she could not access the Avatar state or airbending, and there\'s no way she\'d be in the proper state of mind for the Aang ex Machina of the ending. Mako is crucial to the mission of stopping Amon because he gives Korra motivation to keep going after she loses her bending.

At that point, she could not access the Avatar state or airbending, and there\\\'s no way she\\\'d be in the proper state of mind for the Aang ex Machina of the ending. Mako is crucial to the mission of stopping Amon because he gives Korra motivation to keep going after she loses her bending. Also, I\\\'d always seen them infiltrating the base as a callback/BookEnds to \\\"The Revelation\\\". Korra first became aware of Amon and his debending while infiltrating the Equalists with Mako, so she ends it while infiltrating the Equalists with Mako. So, actually, Mako is absolutely necessary to both attaining airbending and defeating Amon, no shoehorning required, and as such he fails criterium #3.
Mako also has the distinction of being the \\\"Avatar\\\'s love interest\\\" and as such plays the exact same role Katara did in Last Airbender. Hence why I brought her up in my last post. This is nothing new or unusual. Aang goes into Avatar state for Katara, Korra unlocks airbending for Mako.
And just to humor you, I checked the CreatorsPet page. Lisa Simpson fits pretty much perfectly. Also both Kai Leng and Diana Allers from MassEffect3. Mako is nowhere NEAR as obnoxious as any of them.
