Actually, maybe not the most prevalent love triangle will between the three of them. The big love triangle that will be going down will end up being Korra/Mako/Asami. Asami is a non-bender who would find herself falling for Mako in whatever situation that she ends up in with the show.

[[WMG: Asami knows that Korra is in love with Mako.]]
Just so you know, I'm Makorra endgame, I think they're soulmates. HOWEVER, I am also a fair judge and hold no grudge against Asami.
Now, on to the theory: Asami is not stupid and Korra is not subtle.
Asami mentions upon meeting Korra that Mako has told her a lot about her. This probably includes how eager Korra was to befriend and impress him when they first met, which is in sharp contrast to how cold Asami must have noticed Korra was to her when the two girls met. Asami is a very pretty girl and I doubt Mako is her first boyfriend, so she probably knows jealousy when she sees it. Korra is shown to display clear jealousy whenever Mako and Asami get overly cute, which I am sure Asami catches from time to time, as Korra seems to look out more for Mako than Asami.
After Asami went to Mako after Korra asked him out, Korra was visibly depressed at his rejection and I seriously doubt Asami is thick enough to miss something as apparent as that. Asami seems like a good enough person to be concerned and inquire about Korra's mood and Mako probably told her. If this is true, Asami is probably mature enough to understand and accept that with a guy like Mako, of course he'd get attention from other girls. There's no evidence that Asami knows about Korra and Mako's kiss, but that doesn’t seem like the kind of thing Mako would keep from her.
The biggest hint for me is when Asami congratulated Korra on her hat-trick and Korra spoke warmly to her for the first time. If you look at Asami's face, she seems a bit forlorn. Perhaps she feels guilty or that it is unfair that Korra should be forced to admit that Asami helped them because of her father's funding. After the finals (or at least what was supposed to be the finals), Asami seemed eager to try and befriend Korra, maybe in the hopes that things wouldn't be so awkward if they all became friends. Although it appears to have ultimately worked, both girls still hold these secrets from each other (Korra that she is in love with Asami's boyfriend, and Asami that she knows).
I would like to think that if and when Mako and Asami split up for whatever reason, that they can remain friends and that Asami moves on. I like to think that she would eventually become a ShipperOnDeck for Mako and Korra and give Korra better advice than jumping into volcanos or brewing freaky little Ikki-imagined love potions.

Maybe he will, in the future... but imagine that someone you consider as a buddy, or a rival, suddenly up and kissed you... his rejection, and Korra's reaction to it, might be Mike and Bryan's commentary on that particular section of the fandom that didn't get what they wanted, and couldn't understand why. There will be heavy metacommentary from Korra, [[AudienceSurrogate herself a slightly spoiled, sheltered, immature young lady, used to getting what she wants, unaware of how the real world works, and heavily influenced by media cliches and her own romantic fantasies]]: ''"We were supposed to end up together! We made the perfect couple! All the gossip magazines said so!"'' However, unlike [[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheEmberIslandPlayers The Ember Island Players]], the pairing, and the pain of rejection, will ''not'' be played for laughs for long.
* Korra doesn't seem like an AudienceSurrogate. Though...it ''would'' be an interesting callback to the main series if Korra was simultaneously awkward and aggressive about romance, like Aang was.

[[WMG: Korra will be similar to Katara, and her love interest will be related to Zuko/a firebender]]
Korra won't be an expy of Katara, but will be similar enough that when her love interest is a firebender, or even related to Zuko, all the Zutara shippers will be able to latch onto them instead.

* It would solve the shipping wars
** No you wouldn't. Have you actually seen the crazier Avatar shipping arguments? It rivals the FanDumb of the Harry Potter shippers. If anything, that'd all just add more fuel to the fire.

**** This fellow Zutarian troper seconds the above idea, especially since she is a HUGE fan of shows including DatingCatwoman.
***** This Zutarian also supports the idea and would even forgive such BS as the [[AssPull Lion Turtle]] if it were implemented. Also, oddly enough, this Zutarian's also seen Kataang shippers latch onto this idea despite many loathing Zutara in any way, shape or form, if that tells you how interesting it is.
*** Sorry, but I've seen way too many idiotic flame wars that sprung from Tenzin being definitely Aang and Katara's son (not to mention the vindictive Zutara really happened and Tenzin was from a one night stand/really a spawn of Zutara Aang just thinks is his son! "theories") to think that even pseudo-Zutara will magically "solve" the shipping wars.

**** Personally, that's exactly why I shipped Zutara, but then shipping has never been srs bisns for me.
** Eh? Why copy-and-paste from one generation to the next? It'd be predictable, necessarily repetitive on some (if not all) levels. The end of the series gave so much to play with in terms of character/Nation interaction. Retreading Fire/Water and significant ancestors like that would waste such opportunity and come across as cheap, no matter what fandom or subplots it would satisfy. Not sure why Zutarans would even appreciate that, because it looks like it'd be an insult - 'ha, it didn't work out with the originals, so here are some second-hand versions'.
[[WMG: Korra will not end up in a love triangle with Mako and Bolin. ]]
Bryke have said that TLOK is going to have "cheesy teen romance", and it's pretty much a given that the main characters are therefore going to be dragged into drama. However, the currently fandom-accepted theory is that there is going to be a love triangle between the Krew. This is not going to happen. Bryke have proven themselves to be major trolls when it comes to shipping. It seems rather... unlike them to hint at a love triangle and then introduce Korra's companions as a pair of brothers when they KNOW this fandom is going to start the shipping immediately, as many fans have. (Despite, y'know, not knowing a damn thing about the characters. Come on, people.) Having Korra choose between the brothers seems too obvious for such master shipper trolls. My money's on the cheesy romance being between Korra and a character with a more minor role, or ONE of the brothers at most.
* Alternatively, if the relationship is between Korra and Mako, it will NOT be some kind of Zutara expy. Bryke are good at writing realistic relationships between like characters (Katara and Aang are both idealists who want to help people, Sokka and Suki bonded through warrior training and are both good leaders, Mai and Zuko can understand each other's parental issues and emo outlook...) IF Korra and Mako fall in love, it will be because they enjoy spending time with each other and can connect on more levels then "fire + water = awesome" or "omg we're both hot let's make out." Bryke isn't going to slap a steambaby on them to placate fans who think they owe the fandom "a real love story this time."
** Actually, Mako kind of pings my gaydar.
** First WMG is {{Jossed}}. Korra has a crush on Mako while Bolin is very interested in Korra.
[[WMG: The love triangle will not be between Mako/Korra/Bolin but...]]
Actually, maybe not the most prevalent love triangle will between the three of them. The big love triangle that will be going down will end up being Korra/Mako/Asami. Asami is a non-bender who would find herself falling for Mako in whatever situation that she ends up in with the show. Korra [[spoiler: as it seems to be implied in the previews]] has a thing for Mako which originally starts from an admiration for his pro-bending prowess and grows into more. This could be an interesting look into the psyche of each character, especially Korra. This could potentially heighten her disdain for the Equalists (she's supposed to be restoring peace between benders and non-benders so this counterproductive thought process could be a huge storyline) and it's a situation that she can't solve with her physical abilities of being the Avatar. Granted, there's probably more important things for her to do, but this would be fascinating.
* Or, at the very least it's a love Diamond with two triangles consisting of Bolin/Korra/Mako and Korra/Mako/Asami....I think that would make it Bolin/Korra/Mako/Asami.
** Diamond Confirmed! Bolin likes Korra, Korra likes Mako, so does Asami, and Mako likes both girls. To sum up, Mako two, Bolin friend zoned.
[[WMG: Bolin, with his woman-wooing ways, will see Asami Sato as the ultimate prize.]]
Shippers, Start your engines!
* Nah, Mako will get with Asami. Why would a brooding, TroubledButCute firebender get with a rich, non bender (who probably gets bored)? Why do Mike and Bryan do anything?[[TrollingCreator To troll the Zutarians.]] You know it.
** Signs are pointing towards Makorra being the direction things will go. Bolin puts on the fangirl charmer routine on Korra and it falls flat in "Leaf in The Wind". And later in that episode, Korra gets star-struck by Mako pulling off his hat trick. Next up, Korra trying to impress Mako and Mako playing it aloof (not evidence on its own, but in context it could be). And then the "long gaze across the bay at the air temple/arena" between them at the end makes it even more apparent (I just know that's gotta be a trope... what would it be?)
** [[ShipTease They're lulling you into a false sense of Shipping security.]]
** I'm not so sure about that at this point. It's clear Mako see's Korra as a valued friend and teammate, but there's also hints that she has a crush on him. To wit: Her defensive reaction to Jinora's and Ikki's teasing when Mako came to visit, her jealous reaction when she learned he was with Asami, and her concerned reaction when she learned he was hit by a motorcycle. Mako may be Asami now, but I don't think we've seen the last of Korrako.
*** Not to mention their ShesNotMyGirlfriend/HesNotMyBoyfriend moment in "The Revelation", where they wake up leaning on each other and have a textbook reaction.
*** They were as blatantly obvious at declaring the shipping intent as they were with Aang and Katara in "The Fortuneteller". Their creator trolling has been just as blatantly obvious, and this didn't seem like it at all.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=vXPupzRcygg#t=20s Watch this trailer]], pay attention to the flashing images after 0:20, and reconsider your scepticism.
** Seen it. After long deliberation and reflecting on the previous page image for ShipTease, I have this to say. [[AvatarTheAbridgedSeries Scepticism. Scepticism. Scepticism.]]
[[WMG: Mako and Korra will start dating, but will break up before the end of Season 1.]]
Because Bryke are like "You want a waterbender and a firebender to have a steamy romance? Sure. Here you go. One pseudo-Zutara romance. Only it'll end messily, they'll both come to think of their fling as a mistake, and then they'll both end up dating other people."
* Hey guys, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXPupzRcygg look what I found.]]
** That doesn't confirm or Joss anything yet.
[[WMG: Asami and Korra will get together]]
[[YuriFanboy No reason, really.]] People ''are'' already shipping them, though.
[[WMG: Korra will have vague unacknowledged romantic tension with a morally ambiguous but sympathetic firebender]]
Which will then be brutally [[ShipSinking ship-sunk]] when he turns out to be engaged to his childhood sweetheart, a girl in disguise (not that this would bother [[YuriFan some of the fandom]]), secretly her half-brother, or otherwise unsuitable. Because Bryke like trolling the shippers just that much.
* Heck, they've already started shipping Makorra. After mercilessly ShipTease, I'm willing to bet that the ship will sink like a ''stone.''

Sure, she kisses him. [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything A body like that, a face like his,]] that TroubledButCute demeanor? [[FanPreferredCouple What young waterbender girl wouldn't want a boy like that?]] But does he want her back? Maybe he will, in the future... but imagine that someone you consider as a buddy, or a rival, suddenly up and kissed you... his rejection, and Korra's reaction to it, might be Mike and Bryan's commentary on that particular section of the fandom that didn't get what they wanted, and couldn't understand why. There will be heavy metacommentary from Korra, [[AudienceSurrogate herself a slightly spoiled, sheltered, immature young lady, used to getting what she wants, unaware of how the real world works, and heavily influenced by media cliches and her own romantic fantasies]]: ''"We were supposed to end up together! We made the perfect couple! All the gossip magazines said so!"'' However, unlike [[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheEmberIslandPlayers The Ember Island Players]], the pairing, and the pain of rejection, will ''not'' be played for laughs for long.
* Korra doesn't seem like an AudienceSurrogate. Though...it ''would'' be an interesting callback to the main series if Korra was simultaneously awkward and aggressive about romance, like Aang was.
[[WMG: Korra will have a non-bending love interest.]]
A mechanic perhaps?
[[WMG: Korra will be similar to Katara, and her love interest will be related to Zuko/a firebender]]
Korra won't be an expy of Katara, but will be similar enough that when her love interest is a firebender, or even related to Zuko, all the Zutara shippers will be able to latch onto them instead.
** Or a [[strike:dead-blind]] earthbender. ..How about she has a female firebender companion that has conflicts with her? Seems more plausible then a male one.
* It would solve the shipping wars
** No you wouldn't. Have you actually seen the crazier Avatar shipping arguments? It rivals the FanDumb of the Harry Potter shippers. If anything, that'd all just add more fuel to the fire.
