Gotta disagree there. He seemed like a real asshole in how he made Tarrlok practice a heinous bending art against his will over and over again. Also, the fact that he attempted to raise children into his own personal finely honed weapons of revenge does not win him points in my eyes.

I was thinking crime in Republic City, but given that we got a healthy heaping of gangsters this season, Bryke have brought up the conflict between technology and spirituality several times, and the creators have implied some travels abroad, my money is on a Spirit World threat (fitting, as Korra still has much…
