She faces bigger challenges, and does more with them

I'd love a TV community for my Korra struggle sessions

    Ok but the entire story line of TLoK is just "good things???? Actually bad"

    All the villains were actually based

      I think this is an extremely shallow reading of the show that takes the 8 year old's perspective of protagonist = good, antagonist = bad. You are obviously supposed to agree with a lot of what the antagonists day and do. It's actually explicit. Every season Korra goes "damn, they are right tho"

        Yeah I feel like the show does a great job of Korra internalizing the societal critiques that each of the antagonists puts forward.

          Kuvira's an actual fascist who works to ethnically cleanse the Earth Empire. She's also the only villain the show tries to redeem. :thinkin-lenin:

              Zaheer gets like 5 minutes of screen time in Book 4, mostly to make him realise that his 'anarchy' was a failure. In the comics,

              Kuvira gets an entire story arc devoted to her backstory and redemption. I read it a while ago, but I'm pretty sure they even let her out of prison.

              Maybe Zaheer's prison visit could be viewed as redemption, but they do 100X more of it for Kuvira.

                    Oh yeah, the comics are hot garbage. Like The Promise, where Zuko decides not to de-colonize the Earth Kingdom because some of his colonizer subjects feel a connection to the land now, poor colonizers, and the comic portrays that claim to the land as similarly legitimate to that of the Earth Kingdom
