She complains every season about
how she’s not strong enough. She gives up too easily when this happens instead
of training to be stronger. This at times made her appear mentally weak to me.
It always has to be about her over others never fully realizing how she’s
supposed to be there for the nations. Same for when she’s in a relationship
with Mako. Always has to be about her. I feel bad for Asami haha.
She’s too rash and makes really poor
decisions. She never thinks things through which always leads to her downfall.
And like always, Tenzin is there at the end of the season telling her what to
do even though he kept telling her what to do in the beginning, but she never
listens to him anyway because “she knows better” I guess. She always has to
fight alone because she’s the avatar and only she can do it, but she has a
strong group of friends she can depend on but hardly ever uses them. She only
uses them when there’s a fight.
Just this season alone (Book 4), it
irritated me how much I couldn’t like her. I understand she went through a
near-death experience, but when you go through it alone, of course you’re not
going to get better. You need time to heal, but even so, she did the opposite
and just fought herself because she was too afraid during a time when people
needed her the most. She kept the mercury inside of her because she was too
afraid to keep fighting because she didn’t want to die. Her role is that of the
Avatar who is supposed to think of protect the world no matter if your life is
at risk.
Then there’s the situation when
Kuvira is attacking Republic City. They never really planned out a strategy for
fighting Kuvira which was really dumb on the creators part because all it took
was to wait an episode or two to finally come up with one which during the
events of the show probably lasted like 30 minutes after Korra escaped. I mean
the best they could come up with was that they believed a tiny army of benders
could take out Kuvira, but Kuvira has a freaking Gundam with a spirit laser
cannon that can pierce through mountains.
-__- I still don’t understand
why she was even there if they were just going to make her run away to hide at
their base to come up with a solid plan when she could have just been there
making one while Kuvira was telling President Raiko to surrender.
I kinda compare her a lot to Aang
which is kinda my fault because you never really see these types of faults in
him since he actually relied on his friends and listened to guidance from Roku
and others. Korra had Tenzin, but she hardly ever listened to what he had to
say or really bothered to give him a chance every season (i.e. book 2). He was
there to be her Roku but she didn’t use him most of the time! Aang had to bear
the weight of losing a whole nation while having to risk his life in order to
stop the entire fire nation when he was 12!!! THEN FIGHT THE FIRE LORD ON THE
DAY FIREBENDERS WERE AT THEIR STRONGEST!!!!! I understand that he came with his
faults, but he never complained at the extent Korra did (Korra complains A
LOT). He cared about others more than Korra did, and he actually trained harder
than Korra did.
That’s why I thought it
was gutsy of the creators to cut off Aang from ever appearing again because I
bet there were a lot of people like me who constantly compared her to Aang
which is really unfair to her character. But when you’re coming off a show as
good as the original, you really shouldn’t waste your time developing a
character in a show with only 12 episodes. You have to grow quickly, but they
just never let her grow. I do feel bad because it can also be attributed to how strong of a supporting cast the show had which only get better as the show progressed.
