The same thing even happens again when Mako must be the one to carry Korra to \\\"give her space\\\" and in doing so pushes away Asami, his girlfriend, Bolin, his \\\"supposedly\\\" love-sick brother, Lin, a police officer who would no doubt have some basic emergency medical care, and Tenzin, her psudo father figure.

Again, all the other non-Mako characters are OutOfFocus for Mako\\\'s big moment, to the point of CharacterDerailment. You \\\'\\\'have\\\'\\\' to admit, that in this episode at least, Mako had too much CharacterFocus (not that too much is the criteria for a Creator\\\'s Pet, simply having Character Focus at all is the basic criteria according to the trope page).

As for CharacterShilling,

From the panel at SDCC: \\\"These are Mako\\\'s basic proportions... He\\\'s a beautiful man...\\\"
From the official site at nick: \\\"A Firebender with a serious side, the handsome and brooding Mako...\\\"
From the press release: \\\"Tall, lean, and handsome, Mako is...\\\"
From Jinorra in-universe Episode: \\\"Oooh, he\\\'s cute. Korra, is that the handsome firebender boy that drives you crazy?\\\"

Add in more Jinorra \\\"dreamy\\\" quotes and a bunch of Korra\\\'s insubstantial \\\"You\\\'re incredible\\\" quotes, sprinkle in a dash of Amon quotes and I seriously doubt that the case can be made that Mako experiences no CharacterShilling.

Interesting to note, is that \\\'\\\'no other character are simply \\\"known\\\" to be beautiful and gorgeous the way Mako is\\\'\\\'. Not even \\\'\\\'Asami\\\'\\\' has her bio call her beautiful! If this isn\\\'t CharacterShilling of the highest order, I don\\\'t really know what is.

Then add to the fact of the matter that is the Creators who are forcing the idea of Mako\\\'s beauty down everyone\\\'s throats and I highly doubt that the case can be made that they don\\\'t love him more than the others, especially given that his name and character is specifically an homage to a beloved voice actor, one of the very warning signs for a Creator\\\'s Pet!

So once more, Rebochan, the moderators and everyone else, if Mako doesn\\\'t deserve to be listed as a CreatorsPet, who exactly on the page does, and why them and not Mako? Answer that question and that\\\'ll be the last you hear from me.

Please try to respond in a way that does not denigriate my post into irrational \\\"hate\\\" or \\\"bias\\\" as I believe all the arguments I\\\'ve made have been coherent and all of my posts polite. I do not call other people\\\'s opinons stupid or ridiculous and I would appreciate the same common courtesy.
