What mistakes he comitted in book 2?
<p>Remember when he looked sad at Katara realizing that he would have to let go of her to save her, and entered that crystal thing to meditate and opened his heart(?) chakra before getting hit by Azula's lightning,wich killed him and left a hole in his back that later Katara said while curing him that she felt a lot of twisted energy in that place? The rock untwisted the energy so it could move freely making him able to enter the avatar state again. The thing with the guru was that if he started opening the chakras but didn't open all of them he couldn't enter the avatar state even as a safe measure like when he got himself and Appa frozen for 100 years. </p><p>And while Aang did run away(i'm assuming you're talking aboutwhen he run away from the air temple) he always fought agains the Fire Nation when he could while he traveled around the world to learn the elements. When Zuko came to Aang in the south pole and Aang turned himself, do you think first season Korra would do that thinking about the village? Or that she would escape when she noticed she was the reason Kyoshi island where being burned down by Zuko? I think she wouldn't and she would only make things worse. Aside from escaping from the Fire Nation, wich was the right thing to do at the time, i didn't see that lot of running you're talking about. </p><p>Now i even was eager to see Korra with her personality and getting things done and all, but she done nothing remarkable aside from stupid decisions. In the second season she was even worst, where was her maturity there? She made some changing in the third season, and if you think Aang ran away from his problems you should see her in the fourth season. </p> </div> <p>What mistakes he commited? I said it, leaving the guru even though he told him that he would be unable to enter the avatar state. Aang said it himself "If I hadn't blocked my chakra I would be in the avatar state right now" and he also said something like "I don't want you or anyone else to risk his life to fix my mistakes". He admits his mistakes, why can't you? </p><p>He ran away from his responsabilities as the avatar and was frozen. Sure it was an accident, but say that to the people that lived those 100 years of war. Because, for 100 years until his reawakening he was oficially the worst avatar in history(dissapeared when the world needed him, even if he had died would have been better because at least there would be another avatar to save the world).  </p><p>And yes, I think season one Korra would turn herself to save the village. I think any avatar in history would. I don't know how can you imagine her saying "Oh, I don't care about these people. I will fight Zuko instead". Besides, even if you were to admit she would react that way on season 1, she did the opposite against an enemy that was a hundred times more dangerous than Zuko. So you have to at least admit she matured. If you can't, I don't get your logic.  </p><p>Everyone in original team avatar made stupid decisions all the time, except Sokka. If he hadn't been there, they would have perished or at least not have gotten so far. She hasn't done anything remarkable? I guess Aang didn't anything remarkable because every enemy Korra fought was stronger than Ozai.  </p>

I'm seriously disappointed. Now I'm beginning to find Kuvira boring as she seems to be just another typical power-hungry villain like Ozai now.</i></div>

They CANT give her any more depth now. If they do, it is small and pointless. Kuvira is a HORRIBLE villian. <p>Korra is stupid again and caused whoever died in that blast to die and it's all her fault. I honestly hope they kill Korra off now. What a poetic way to end such a stupid avatar. It will come down to Korra versus Kuvira one on one or Korra versus all her psycho hallucinations through the whole series with a triumphant (or tragic) climax. </p><p>For the sake of poetic beauty, I say tragic climax. But it is a kids show so, probably she comes out on top again. </p> </div>
What did Korra do wrong now? Seriously cut her a break,the creators tried to redeem her for 3 seasons. Korra matured enough and did enough good,quit nitpicking</div>
Oh snap! Here we goes........ <p>
</p><p>They DIDN'T redeem her for 3 seasons! They tried to redeem a SERIES worth of incompetence (obvious incompetence) for "nature". Korra's "nature" is constant wrong decisions and incompetence through the entire series! There is NOTHING that is holding Korra up at this point. The writers are trying to make an "epic" stand by painting Korra as some kind of "different" hero. I want them, for the sake of making it go out with a BANG, to make her the Juliet. Come on. Make her pay for her decisions. Its not HATE. Its poetry............ </p><p>

<p>What? When did she say that? I don't recall Korra being irresponsible since...never. When did something go wrong when it comes to spirits? You mean the vines attacking inoccents? Yeah, but that was Kuvira's fault and she took responsabilty for that anyway. </p>

<p>Apparently it worked fine these last three years, even in Book 3 in other towns(like the one in the desert) there's spirits around and no-one seems bothered. I don't know why is spirits living with humans such a big deal. They seem to coexist fine, they don't kill each other. Sure, now they refuse to help Korra and humans but they are not enemies of humans either. </p><p>Bumi and Jinora(not to mention Wan and Raava) proved that humans can be friends with spirits. There's nothing wrong with humans living with spirits other than the vines that destroyed a few houses in RC. And that was mostly Unavaatu's thing, rather than the spirits being evil. Those vines wouldn't even be there without the Dark Avatar.  </p>

<p>They could set down on Republic City, they did set down on Republic City, they spent three years living in Republic City but Republic City is in danger? Pff, human's problem.  </p>

<p>Yeah, most of the spirits are jerks. Korra was right, she wasn't asking them to take part on a human war she was asking them to help her protect the place both humans and spirits now call home(republic city). The worst part is that when Korra and friends take down Kuvira and save Republic City the will most likely come back like nothing happened. They live there and annoy humans that were living there before but as soon as there's trouble oops, gotta go.  </p><p>Wan said "This world is home to all of us and what happens here it's everyone's business". But apparently spirits disagree. In Wan's time both spirits and humans lived together(not exactly in harmony but they were in the same world) and now I would say their relationship with humans is good, or at least a lot better than it was in Wan's era. But this jerks don't give a f*** about it. </p>

Preview clip for Kuvira's Gambit. I must say, I love Kuvira's plans for the future: <p>1. Takeover Republic City </p><p>2. Get Married </p><p>3. Rule empire </p><p>When an antagonist on this show says they love someone, someone in that relationship is most likely to die... </p> </i></div>
<p>I thought it was more likely for Baatar Jr. to eventually betray Kuvira or fail hard in a mission and get kicked out(by fail hard I mean bringing really bad consequences to the Earth Empire). But after this clip it doesn't look like he has any intention to betray her at all.  </p><p>However, the chapter is called Kuvira's Gambit. In chess, gambit means sacrifice a pawn in order to get an advantage. Hmm.... </p>

<p>I think she just showed respect to the Lion Turtle because they are the wisest, most ancient and powerful creatures on Earth, but Raava is the spirit of light and peace and according to her, she and Vaatu exist since the beginning of time. I doubt Lion Turtles are superior than Raava or Vaatu, I think they just respect each other because of their wisdom. </p><p>I don't know if there's other ways for humans to permanently merge with spirits other than harmonic convergence, they didn't explicitly say it was the only way but it doesn't look like something that can be done anytime and with ease. Harmonic Convergence it's a very special event that only occurs every ten thousand years. Although maybe HC only merges a human with Raava or Vaatu(it's their main event after all) and regular spirits could permanently merge by other ways. </p>

<div class="quote"><i>FATE HAS INTERVENED wrote:
Haha my friend and I were actually talking several weeks ago about whether other spirits could merge with humans to form their own avatars. The Moon Avatar. The Koh Avatar (scary stuff). Or maybe even an Avatar of Uncle Iroh who, when going into the Iroh State, gets godly powers of tea and good advice! </i></div>
<p>Haha, nice one with the Iroh State. </p><p>But seriously, I don't think it's possible because humans can only merge with spirits during the harmonic convergence. Unless they manage to invent some technological device that makes humans permanently merging with spirits possible. </p><p>Also, remember that Raava and Vaatu are the most powerful(as far as we know) spirits, merging with a spirit doesn't mean that he/she would become as powerful as an avatar and needs the lion turtles in order to get other bending arts. So the only real advantage I see is a possible power up the could get in the spirit-state. </p>

<p>Wu seems the least bad among these three. He's similar to the Earth King during Aang's era, an useless figure that would probably be used by a Long-Feng. Only that earth king was naive and Wu is plain dumb.  </p><p>Kuvira is the worst for me, at least with Hou-Ting inoccents weren't being sent to Concentration Camps just for not being pure EK. </p>

<p>Over for now, you mean. You can never tell if something's truly over or not. It isn't the end, only a beginning. </p> </div> <p>Well, you know what I mean. At least Legend of Korra it's going to be over.  </p>

I think he wanted to but didn't get to do anything to prevent it from firing. If he wanted to put it off then it means he didn't want to kill her.

True, but remember that Toph is Baatar Jr's grandmother. Family love might cause him to turn against his grandma's killer.</div>He DID protest against using the cannon on the targeted city when he heard that Opal was there. Despite his indifferent demeanor, he still seems to have some compassion for his family. Maybe he so willingly threw them in prison because he wanted to preserve their lives? We've witnessed the cold ruthlessness of Kuvira. There's no telling what the alternative to putting them in prison would have been. </div> <p>Maybe he has a weak spot for Opal? He seemed really pissed off with his mother and father(especially with the later). I doubt he would have been upsed if they had been killed by Kuvira, they did try to kill her first. But he instantly tried to stop the cannon as soon as he saw Opal. </p><p>Opal is his younger sister, it's different than his parents or even his other brothers. Infact, before she became an airbender they were the only non-benders in the family(not counting Bataar Sr). </p><p>I don't know, it's the first time we see Jr. actually care for a member of his family. </p>

<p>I think it's pretty clear that Flight Zaheer beats any earthbender but without flying? I don't know. Kuvira is really good, she's fast and her attacks are precise and effective. No-one could give her a fair fight yet. She's pretty much on par with pre-flight Zaheer. </p>

Zuko's a coward. Aside from a failed attempt to stop P'Li from being freed, he spent Book 3 at home in the Fire Nation protecting Izumi, and only returned to Republic City after the danger had passed, for Jinora's master ceremony.</i></div>
<p>At your nineties you won't like the idea of spending your time fighting in a bloody war. </p>

Both benders are mediocre.</i></div>
<p>Yeah because beating in a one on one fight to Ming Hua and Ghazan, two benders that are, according to Zuko, the strongest benders in the world and able to beat any bender, clearly makes you mediocre. </p><p>Makes sense... </p>

<p>Maybe not, maybe we just saw the last of Toph for this season. She made it look that way. Besides, it doesn't matter anyway unless we were told it's Sokka or someone we actually know.  </p>

<p>Besides, even if he helped Korra to take down Kuvira his ultimate objective is to permanently kill the avatar so clearly he can't be let out neither be trusted(if he is free that is). </p>

<p>Korra will win, the questions are how and, is she going to sacrifice something in order to win? Someone's life, Raava, herself... </p>
