I think the situation could have been handled more like the avatar state in book 2 of ATLA. There were a few episodes devoted to that along with other plot-lines, and in the end the avatar state is locked from Aang, as well as him being very narrowly saved from death. He regained that ability when he needed it, in a more canon way considering his situation - and that was at the end of the next season finale.

Korra could have been handled that way, but they just crushed it and destroyed the potential.
