Yeah, I didn't interpret it at all as her mastering the Avatar State. I actually just thought of it as similar to Aang going into the Avatar State in moments of extreme despair - Korra just shows despair differently than Aang did, for a lot of different reasons.

Not to mention the stereotype of pretty much every gay villain ever. I've really been enjoying this season and Neal McDonough's character, but I was actually - not surprised, but kind of disappointed.
