Besides, it would be impossible for her to be behind all or even most of the bandit attacks.

So being a good Avatar means not dealing with trauma like an actual human being? And that's not a slam against Aang it's mean mocking your premise.

True, most of the Gaangs victories were minor. They even lampshaded that in The Ember Island Players when Suki comments how often they lose and barely escape alive.

No growth? What show have you been watching?

her victory over Amon wasn't complete? She humilated him and exposed him as a fraud, that she didn't kill him doesn't mean she didn't win.
How do you figure Jinora beat Zaheer?
And if you honestly can't understand why she lost this fight the problem is you, not the show.

At this point there really was no way to avoid war. Though Su's plan was obviously stupid, even if she didn't go through with it, she wasn't going to hand over the city, and that would have only lead to an invasion.

Well, she redirected a boulder they threw at her but that was all the standard earthbending she used in that fight.

Aang also had the same power boost so you can't use that as an excuse.

Yes, far be it characters actually have to face challanges to overcome and learn from. She should just win all the like Aang did. Aang definitely didn't constantly have hards times to overcome. Nope, not at all.

I could say a lot of good things about season two. It gave us the Wan two-parter, Eska and Desna, the spirits, and probably other things I can't think of off the top of my head.

Besides energybending Korra probably doesn't know how to do any of those.

It seems so long as the person in question isn't actually going to die they can say it. We saw Zaheer kill the earth queen so she was "taken out" but in the same season Kya and Bumi talk about dying if they stay and fight or jump off a cliff and they both survived. It doesn't make any sense but I think that's the…

I never implied it wasn't just my opinion.

I've always found Sokka and Toph overrated.

I totally thought that too!

I don't think they're trying to get to him, it's just that it's what they've always called him. Sr. didn't even seem angry in that scene just really hurt, and as he said disappointed.

Sort of related to your last point, their relationship has been all talk and no show. If we wern't told on multiple occasions they were engaged I would just think Baatar Jr. was a very devoted business partner.

That moment at the end with Baatars Sr. and Jr. was just a punch in the gut.

Frankly, I'm happy they don't feel the need to constantly escalate the stupid power scale after ever season. If ever vilian could destroy the world it would just feel ridiculous.

Why? That makes no sense with the setup so far.
