Also, even though Aang's task (defeat Ozai and the Fire Nation) was ridiculously difficult, at least it was the same kind of task the Avatar is supposed to deal with: one nation is getting too strong, the Avatar needs to restore balance and maybe knock a tyrant off a cliff or two.

With Korra, what the hell even is her task? Aang fixed the balance between elements/nations problem with Repulic City. Korra sorta thinks her task is to take out the Equalists, who threaten all elements, but that doesn't answer the question of nonbender vulnerability oppression. So... is she supposed to achieve balance between benders and nonbenders then? How? Even taking out Amon wouldn't solve the problem the way taking out Ozai did for Aang. Aang had a clear goal, and a divine mandate to do it. (Don't get me wrong, he had lots of BIG problems, but his broad goal was pretty clear: defeat Ozai)

Korra has no clear goal, and all the time there Amon is, all sure of himself and his goals, and alarmingly bearing a maybe spirit-world-sacred mandate in his ability to take away bending, and claiming he can end all bender-caused wars and literally elliminate the purpose of the Avatar. (Although Ozai did sorta do this too, he wanted to elliminate all elements except Fire)
