Korrasami aside, how did you feel about the Legend of Korra series finale?
Mako should have died inside the mech just like Korra's dad should have died at the end of Season 3 when he got launched off a cliff
Holy shit. How long has this show been over and we still have at least 3 simultaneous threads going on every day.
>>78078453
Because as much as /co/ denies it,it was enjoyable
>>78078407
Fucking this. I mean i like mako he was a good character after the romance shit was done but this would have been an amazing moment where he chose to sacrifice himself to blow up the mech. But i bet they wouldn't have been able to go from broken brotherless Bolin to happy lesbians so they let him live.
>>78078373
Goddamn I want that woman to dominate me.
Seriously though, people will say Amon was the character who was shafted the most among the Korra villains, but really it was Kuvira. The bender vs non-bender conflict may have had some good potential but really there was too much evidence from ATLA that it wasn't a real problem that it was never going to be handled seriously. But you know who were consistently shit on throughout ATLA and LOK and never got any closure or catharsis? The people of the Earth Kingdom. And with Kuvira being a minor good guy in season 3 having her be the villain of season 4 would have been a great set up for an actual grey-on-grey political conflict.
>>78078373
Pretty much everything after Korra talks to Zaheer is awfull. The only good parts would be the fighting animations, but the mech, the threat to bataar, Asamis dad returning and dying, the fucking talk in the spirit world, all that was awfully handled because it wasn't properly set up or even resovled.
Oh and the wedding scene was weird aswell. Varrick and Zhu Li are nice and all, but they're just side characters who get a main spotlight on them at that point. Korras talk with Wu was stupid because hey it's Wu. Her talk with Tenzin makes no sense, and her decision to leave the mess she made seems out of character for her.
So yeah.. the ending even without Korrasami is awfull and nonsensical. Korrasami is just the shit cherry on the shit sundae.
Continuing spewing empty platitudes and clumsily dodging moral complexity. As always. By this point I was not even disappointed.
>>78078373
The Legend of wasted potential. It had the potential to be a 20/10 show, instead it barely makes a 7/10 or so.
For the finale:
The robot was retarded
Korra jobbed some more because fuck letting her be badass. She could easily have taken the robot by herself, she has the power to, but I guess the side characters needed to do things.
In the robot, Korra has a really badass, but completely pointless fight with Kuvira since the robot was blown up by Mako and wrecked by Lin and Sujin anyway.
And speaking of Sujin, way to be a turbocunt.
Oh muh baby, she tried to kill you! All is forgiven even though you invaded our city and were her second in command this whole time.
>Kuvira surrenders
I'll see you rot in jail you fucking biiiitch
And of course, the laughably last-minute lesbian handholding was so out of place that Bryke had to clarify they were gay afterwards because nothing up to that point had really implied it, not even the recap episode which was mostly Makorra memories and platonic tea drinking.
>>78079064
Everything after Korra meets Toph was awful. Season 4 started super strong, then it nosedived hard from episode 3 onwards.
>>78079841
I agree, but it goes downhill fast after episode 2. The swamp stuff isn't outright awfull tho, and the Zaofu stuff had interesting ideas that wasn't very well handled and so on. Everything after Zaheer is outright awfull.
>>78079905
It's just a steady nosedive from episode 3 onwards sprinkled with good shit here and there. Sujin vs Kuvira, Korra vs Kuvira, most of Bolin and Varric's antics, all those were good. But couldn't save the season.
>>78078373
good shit
enjoyed mecha battle.. the smart ways they fought it.. and everything with cave johnson and caroline finally getting together was just tops.
basically delete the last few minutes and this would be a fine show.
Giant, platinum, spirit A-bomb, laser mech was almost as over the top as the giant astral projection wrestling match in Republic City Bay.
>>78078686
No he fucking wasnt. Mako was an awful character who was always praised in show but all he did was job
>>78080100
The problem was neither the mecha nor the giant blue spirit. The problem was both of those fights were misshandled and botched.
>Book 2 finale
Korra, instead of doing what she spent an episode learning with Iroh and neutralizing Aku I mean Vaatu, just jobs until Jinora shows up and does exactly what Korra could and should have done, stealing the credit and the application of the lesson she'd learned.
>Book 4 finale
Korra, instead of fighting the Mech with her avatar powers like she was clearly more than strong enough to do, just jobs a lot and her attacks become magically ineffective so a bunch of side characters get to blow air at the robot.
Man, fuck both of those fights.
>>78078373
Korra one shot the final boss
They really jumped the shark with thatFUCKING MECH, would have preferred the spirit cannon to have either remained a railway gun or, as a twist, become a giant fucking tank.
people already made the eva jokes when the mech first showed up....but yeah, the ending was pretty much eva if you think about it
>>78080171
He was a great character after season 2.
>>78078373
Platinum Jet Alone broke my suspension of disbelief. Getting that much platinum together would have been almost impossible and it would have collapsed under it's own wait (stupid nitpick, I know). Platinum is also not a very tough metal so it should have been fucked once it got separated from the rest of Kuvira's forces.
It should have also been impossible for the Earth Empire to harvest spirit vines from the swamp like they did. Swamps are where armies go to die, and combine that with trying to deploy those mechs and angry swampbenders trying to drive off the forces trying to invade to destroy their sacred tree, Kuvira's forces should have either been driven off or Kuvira's empire should have collapsed trying to take that swamp.
Also the hummingbird robots where stupid.
So we are in agreement then, that there are points in the series where literally every character should have died to improve the narrative?
>>78080687
They built the robot from the domes they scrapped from Sujin's city.
>>78080774no
>>78080838
Why the fuck where they made of pure platinum? It would have been a nightmare to build because you can't bend it and it would have bankrupted them to get that much platinum.
>>78078373
Totally forgettable.
I mean... I forgot how it ends.
>>78080956
Because since metalbending was invented metal isn't great for protection, apparently.
And really, Platinum is just much more common in the Korra world. I mean, the door to Hiroshi's robot hangar alone was probably hundreds of tons.
>>78078861
>You will never be a fresh new private in the Earth Army seconded to be Kuvira's personal sex slave

>>78078373
It felt like a missed opportunity to point out that maintaining balance sometimes means helping other people come to better conclusions about what they are doing and not just using force to get what you want. The whole thing would have worked better if Kuvira was more exemplary of early Korra punching things to get her way and Korra trying to pass on the lesson that not all problems can be solved by punching them.
Kuvira was doing nothing wrong when she refused to abdicate her authority to another foppish, spoiled royal who didn't put in a bit of work to get his Kingdom back under control. They basically had to throw in re-education camps and spirit nukes to make her bad.
>>78078373
I liked it when i finished it but looking back it....and after a whole year of /co/ bitching...i like it less.
>>78081060
To put that in perspective, all the Platinum ever mined on Earth could fit in to a 25 ft cube.
Legend of Korra is the animated equivalent of The Crying Game. In years to come, the only reason anyone will know of it is because of the Korrasami twist at the end. Even now it's the only reason people talk about it.
>>78081473
What an insanely stupid thing to say.
>>78081511
What a beautiful counter-argument.
>>78078373
>>78081535
You didn't make an argument. You stated something with no argument.
Zaheer>Kuvira
Kuvira was underdeveloped as a character, and the sereis' finale handled the consequences of her defeat poorly. The Earth Kingdom being set up as a group of democracies begged for some follow up, because that shit was interesting and likely not going to work.
I'll admit I'm judging the series unfairly, because I wanted it to go full LOGH and show how crazy dysfunctional democracies could be.
>>78080058
>cave johnson
lol
the mech was dumb as shit. totally out of the blue. took them all season just to get this great laser on a railroad, then they asspull a robot to mount it on. didnt even look cool
>>78079841
The Bolin/Varrick/Zhu Li shenanigans were fun. But other than that I agree.
I feel Kuvira needed more porn
>>78082134
Thank god for Anaxus and his obviously traced but very on-model porn.
The only other eally unforgivable thing this show did was retcon metalbending into 'bending the trace elements'
if you could do that, if you could bend a handful of sand so hard that it lifted tons of metal, you would be godly all-powerful. That is NOT how they described it before. They said "metal is just another kind of earth but nobody realized it before"
They could have still used platinum and simply said it was too HEAVY to bend, not 'too pure' (??)
>>78082290
It was always trace elements.
The platinum thing didn't make a whole lot of sense regardless though.
>>78080190
Nah, the problem was the giant mech and the giant astral projection.
Also the astral projection was in absolutely no way explained.
I thought the mech was fine. Of course it would be clunky, it's the first mech. It would be stupid if it was a Gundam. And I liked the way everyone had to work together to bring it down, no stupid Avatar powers out of nowhere to solve everything.
>>78078373
was still crap
each season felt like it would be its last before being canceled.
LOK just should have not happen.
>>78082400
>Also the astral projection was in absolutely no way explained.

>>78078373
Go-inside-republic-city-when-you-can-just-shoot-from-kilometers-of-distance tier.
Why did Kuvira was even inside RC anyway?
>>78082616
Capturing Republic City and it's infrastructure is more valuable than destroying it.
>>78083192
So use the army and not you giant clumsy death robot that wrecked as much of the city as the heroes because it went in there.
>>78082551
Always? No, powerless non-avatar Korra turning into a 30-story spirit version of herself was utterly unexplained. They could have spent 30 seconds coming up with some fantastic explanation like harmonic convergence modified the phase variance of anyone in the tree and blah blah blah... but they didn't even do that.
>>78078373
>how did you feel about the Legend of Korra series finale?
Pissed off really, Republic City is destroyed and is now full of Demons...I mean spirits that can fuck your shit up for pissing them off and has spirit vines growing like kudzu. Remind me again how this is a good thing.
>>78083192
>Capturing Republic City
she doesn't need to go inside to do that. Just send her army.
>destroying it.
or just threat it with her laser, like she did before. Send someone else. Make Raiko go out. Kuvira was inside RC for no reason.
>>78078373
I feel good about it because it meant the end of Legend of Korra
>>78078373
it didn't feel like a finale
>>78078373
It's shit but thanks to LESBIANS everyone are blinded to how shit the series is.
Who here ships Wuko?
>>78082434
The fact that it was the first mech and it WASN'T clunky is what took me out of it. It felt wrong seeing something so big move so easily and somehow keeping it's balance. It completely destroyed my suspension of disbelief.
>>78084155
So, just as planed?
>>78078373
everyone who complains about the korrasami scene is just feeding the controversy, and putting more money in Bryke's pockets. If you don't have an outsider informing you, it mereley hints that they might be romantically interested.
>>78078586
Gundam Seed Destiny gets discussed on /m/ all the time and it's pretty much agreed to be the worst Gundam series.. It's all bitching, discussing what could have been and rewrites just like Korra threads.

I agree with some of it, but other things seems to be completely off atleast for LoK. Like the villains where pretty much all the villains of LoK were more interesting than the villains in Atla.
>>78086325
Disturbingly accurate. Sokka could be in Momo's spot.
>>78086864
Ozai was a one-note evil guy, but it worked for what the series was trying to accomplish. All the folks under him filled the "interesting villain" role very well.
The only true standout in Korra was Zaheer. Amon was ruined by Bryke getting jerked around by Nick so much season 1.
Somehow, in spite the over the top action, it felt totally underwhelming. I guess the show failed to get me invested into characters and their motives.
>>78087175
>The only true standout in Korra was Zaheer
"muh chaos"
>>78086608
Yeah, but they didn't botch his character, the only time we see him is him testifying against Yakone, which ultimately leads to his capture. His dignity was completely intact. Though he was voiced by Dick Hardwick, so there's something to be said there.
>>78083532
They should have just tied it into whatever this was.

That's retarded. That is legitimately one of the most autistic things you could ever do on 4chan. You're not going to suddenly change everything you hated about a show by talking about it well after it ended.
>>78087175
Sure the villains were ruined by the writing, but they were interesting. Amon, Zaheer and Kuvira were all more interesting that one-note evil guys, Bryke just messed up and fucked them up by the end.
What im trying to say is that Ozai was a better villain because he was written well. But LoK's villains were more interesting in concept, they were just ruined by poor writing.
>>78086325
>whose fighting style became completely ludicrous
>Toph
Old Toph was way more reserved and less ludicrous than young Toph. If anything, her power level was more appropriate at her age than she was as a mary sue special snowflake.
>>78086864
LoK's villains were all reasonably interesting until we got close to the finales, after which they became senseless lunatics only out to destroy the world/society in some way.
>>78087504
Didn't they try to? I seems to recall a giant glowing Korra just like your pic. The problem with that for me was that with Aang it was him connecting with the cosmic energies of the avatar state. For Korra it was something else (im not sure what).
The finale wasn't as good as ATLA, but I enjoyed Korra more overall.
And I watched ATLA first.
>>78087632
Zaheer never hid his intent to destroy society and the Earth Kingdom needed the kind of shakeup only a revolution could bring.
>>78078861
>minor good guy
Correct me if I'm wrong, but did she do anything besides be around in the last episode of S3 and say her name out loud one time?

>interesting

>>78087580
I totally agree, but I'm still a sucker for someone as unashamedly evil as Ozai. Thematically, "fire king who consumes and conquers" is just too perfect.
>>78087577
>The thing MOST people spend all their time doing on this board is one of the most autistic things you could ever do on 4chan
You're not entirely wrong, but show some awareness of your fuckin' surroundings, dude.
>>78078861
I think Amon got shafted harder because the hype kept building behind him until the last episode. Kuvira was getting bad around halfway though.
>Hey what kind of shapes say "Earth Kingdom"?
>Big blocking things and cylinders, lot of emphasis on footing.
>Perfect, let's make this robot look spindly have all its attack power centered around its arm.
>>78078373
In a word, unforgivable. Any ending that ruins that many peoples' lives (Republic City is in ruins, another fucking spirit portal is open in the middle of it) but tries to pretend everything worked out great is already suspect. But the real crime is that the world of Avatar has been actively worsened forever.
>No more past lives. The next Avatar is stuck with Korra alone. That's fucking sucks even if you like Korra.
>Spirits are going to run rampant. They are untrustworthy autistic fuckers who need to be locked up for everyone's well-being, including their own considering they can't stand people for stupid reasons.
>The capital of the United Republic, what could have been one of the most interesting locals in the world of Avatar, is gone forever. No one else can use it int he form it started out: a technologically progressive and culturally-integrated mecca of modernized civilization. Instead it's Ground Zero for more spirit shit.
>Sujin gets off scott free and gets to act all high and mighty. Fuck her.
>Vatuu, aka half of the lamest plot development in Avatar's history, is going to be back at some point and no one can get rid of him.
>People are going to expect more and more progressive shit to be shoved into future works. It's officially a "brave" franchise now.
>>78081751
Different guy, but pretty sure a snide come-back doesn't retroactively assign your denial any worth. You didn't even address what was wrong about his initial statement.
I agree with you, by the way.The other memorable thing will be the awful ideas and execution.
>>78083192
>>78083213
>2015
>not using a giant robot AND preserving the infrastructure
>>78087634
>>78087504
Nah bro nah. Fuck you.
That image is the visual representation of the power the Avatar State has and what the Avatar itself represents, a world of power held in balance by one being. The entire world's knowledge and happenings available at the doorway to that power, only accessible after an intense spiritual awakening and personal resolutions regarding themselves and their role in the world. When Aang died in the Avatar State, the being itself fell as well. Because they are one with the world, both physical and spiritual. When one dies the Avatar Spirit there reincarnates them. When the Avatar is one with the Avatar Spirit and dies, the Avatar Spirit dies with them.
It is not a giant blue gundam to be piloted if someone sits in a tree. It is not a giant blue gundam anyone can pilot because they're in the tree. It is especially not a giant blue gundam that KORRA can pilot herself, because KORRA cannot into spirits.
>>78090946
Yeah i agree they did it wrong, but i also think they were trying to go somewhat for it despite not fitting Korra at all, and at the time she had no avatar spirit either so it makes even less sense.
>>78090946
>KORRA cannot into spirits.
But she can after S1 because she cried
>>78091286
She doesn't seem that spiritually capable even after book 1. For instance she still needed a guide to even get into the spirit world and while she was there she couldn't even communicate with the spirits.
>>78091286
Don't underestimate the power of a good cry.
>>78078373
When i first saw the giant robot, the inner /m/ in me freaked out and said it was awesome.
Nowadays Ive cooled down and I can look back on it and say that its fucking retarded.she literally could have just slapped wheels on the laser and had a better effect.
I long forgotten this show was a thing. The most depressing thing is this cancer will return with the comics on Korsami garbage.

I do, too. Shame that I can't find a lot worthwhile fic or art-wise. Not that I look too deeply mind, but I love me some odd-couple pairings like they are.
>>78082290
I wasn't a big fan of the Aesthetic change of Metalbending.
I get that in TLA it had just been invented, and there had been 90 years to refine it by Korra, but I missed the crunchy, jagged, nastiness of TLA metalbending. It just looked too clean to me, it didn't feel distinct anymore.
>>78093575
4th season spent too much time on Suyin for me.
I wanted more Fopish Emperor+Mako and Korra seeing what Kuvira was up to. Part of this can be blamed on the show suddenly going into Nick limbo, evidenced by suddenly having a clip show
>>78086325
Ozai is shit villain
Red Lotus>Azula>Amon>Kuvira>Ozai>Unavaatu
>>78093732
The reason Wu worked was because, being a new character, he had no where to go but up. He could be given an actual arc and have it still feel somewhat fresh - the young heir learns how to become a capable leader.
Then, they fuck it over by having him turn over his power.
What was the point of showing him becoming responsible? Why go through that arc?
>>78094162
Because it's an American show so fuck you democracy wins!
>>78082134
Kuvira needed more anything really.
It was rather bad.
She did nothing wrong.
>>78094162
>young heir learns how to wield power
I didn't even need this, it was just that the show wasn't able to fully capitalize on its theme about "tradition and modernity" to the fullest. The lack of focus is why Kuvira and Wu both feel a bit underdeveloped, despite being actually pretty sound concepts.
Wu was a step in that direction, and the show had to wrap up his story due to a combination of external factors (Nick being dick) and internal (Bryke flubbing endings as per usual).
The only endings I thought weren't somewhat rushed between ATLA and LOK were ATLA S2 and LOK S3, because those clearly had directions to go afterwards. Lion Turtle and Giant Robot were both pretty rushed.
>>78078373
The finale was alright, but the season as a whole was messy as fuck. Korrasami was the least of the problems.
>all this mech talk
Reminder that we're shown an airplane used by bandits in the first episode of the season, but apparently none of the armies of the world think airplanes are good in war.
>>78078586
>>78085166
>>78087577
>>78088863
Or, the occam's razor of all this is: 4chan/people on the internet LIKE being angry about things, so in that respect, legend of korra was great and so was SEED, because they fuel people's anger and bring them together in rage.
Huh, you know, maybe the SJW's arten't so different from us afterall? They too like being angry and pick something else to be angry about.
>>78086325
Say what you want about LoK but Korra was not less interesting than Aang. And hell, what the fuck is interesting about Ozai?
Cool =/= interesting.
The previous season finales of LoK were so astronomically disappointing that the series finale was actually rather disappointingly not disappointing enough. It was just bland.
>>78094561
Aw, I thought it was a dude
>>78094687
Seed Destiny was so bad it ruined Fukuda's career.
>>78094708
Aang is more interesting
>>78094729
No.
>>78078373
It was a letdown. I never liked Kuvira because she made it painfully obvious how incompetent Korra is. Bloodbender, elemental evil, supposedly prodigy sect, okay I can deal with her incapable of stopping them. But a fucking single elemental bender and she can't even rip her apart at a whim annoyed me so much. So much.
Last fights in Korra were usually a letdown but the giant robot was a shit.
>>78094720
It would have been tolerable if they hadn't brought back the SeeD cast to shit all over the Destiny cast. The only successful jet stream attack in all of Gundam was hype as shit though.
>>78094729
I disagree, Korra was a more interesting concept that was handled poorly.
>>78094778
Interesting as a concept doesn't mean shit. Aang is better.
>>78089363
I think that its a dead franchise now besides a few comics after korras ratings besides the creators of the show said they wouldnt make another avatar tv show for at least a while
>>78094791
Aang was better written yes, but the concept of Aang is less interesting than that of Korra, which is what everyone has said so far.
>>78081388
To be fair they have earthbenders, so mining isn't exactly hard.
The question is whether or not there's enough in the crust of their planet and that's dependent on asteroid bombardment.
>>78078373
I thought the series should've ended with Book 2, though I'd reorder things.
I think Kuvira's plot would've dovetailed nicely with Aman's little insurrection in Book 1. The underlying theme is that the status quo is fragile and that too much order is a bad thing. Korra finds a Red Lotus among Aman's things.
Book 2 and 3 would switch, so that Korra's fighting the Red Lotus in Book 2. The ending would still play the same, and the theme would about be that chaos and anarchy. Korra's father dies, leaving a vacuum of power in the Water tribes.
Book 3 would go through the PTSD stuff, have her meet Toph, but she's paranoid because Zaheer told her there are more of the Red Lotus out there. Enter her uncle, who wants to balance the world. Great big Aku fight, Giant Korra, worlds merged and her spirit is restored. Again, balance is the theme. Mako and Asami maybe end up together, they had a little chemistry. Korra definitely ends up alone - she has given up worldly attachments and has transcended into the spirit world.
Series ends with Mako, Bolin, and Asami gearing up to venture in the spirit world to find her.
That's just me looking at things in hindsight. I know they didn't really plan on having the show go that long, but it's something I've been thinking about for a while.
>>78094811
>Young boy who ran away from his responsibility as that savior of the world wakes up a century later to discover that the world has completely gone to shit and extrapolates that his decision to shirk his duty is the direct cause of that
But still spends episode after episode fucking around, visiting places just for fun, and screwing around with his friends when we're constantly reminded there's a timetable after in which stopping Ozai will be super easy/failing to stop him before this point will be borderline impossible
>Adult woman, showing signs of mastering 3/4 of the elements while she's just a toddler, by all accounts a bending prodigy even for an Avatar, frequently gets bested by less powerful opponents because of self doubt
And then wins due to Deus Ex Machina and suddenly just deciding she does believe in herself
Maybe...maybe both characters and series had conceptual flaws and you're all lashing out because the other one came out when you were older and better equipped to point out logistical and narrative flaws?
>>78097403
Now maybe you want to point out which one is the better written character.
The kid who ran away from his responsibility and acting like a kid would do and still manage to find time to train his bending
or
an adult woman who has master 3 out of 4 elements and still need to learn one but constantly skips out of her training to play around and have constant love triangles with people she just met. And she also apparently don't know how to fight properly eventhough she is a supposed master at bending.
>>78094162
It's possible that he relinquished his power in order to avoid being Raiko's puppet.
>>78097403
I watched them back to back so aging has nothing to do with it. ATLA was just put together better. It was less disappointing with the honestly simple story line that was executed properly.
LoK had a lot of interesting concepts for pretty much every season, but it failed to deliver satisfying conclusions to almost every plot point it put forth, and many times it seemed to forget its own plot points.
I definately think that Aang was the better written character, but his story was alot less interesting because it was fairly normal and you kinda knew where it was going for the most part. LoK on the other hand brought up interesting concepts that it ended up not using. And that why i say that Aang is better written, but Korra is more interesting.
>>78097403
As you mention yourself Korra is inconsistent. She is supposed to have mastered her bending but rarely if ever shows mastery of her bending. She is supposed to be exceptionally good at fighting, but jobs at almost every oppertunity.
Aang on the other hand feels very consistent. He's a kid who wants to have his freedom just like he grew up with. So obviously that becomes a part of the thing he has to overcome (which he kinda does). So i definately think Aang is the better written character.
>>78078373
I watched that last season praying that there would actually be a moral grey-zone with Kuivara and Wu, like they would actually make it morally questionable whether she was the "bad-guy" or not. Nope, they explicitly make her evil, and that pissed me off.

She was an important part of the fight with the Red Lotus in Zaofu and she relayed a bunch of information to Suyin.

She was getting bad halfway through because the narrative seemed to dip a toe in making the conflict genuinely grey-on-grey and then ran from that prospect as fast as possible during the siege of Zaofu, making Kuvira go from 'powerful military leader who is doing bad things for good reasons and maybe doesn't have the best psychological disposition to be a good long-term leader' to 'straight up insane tyrant' so fast I'm surprised she didn't get whiplash.

I think you both don't get what Kuvira was going for, her entire MO is to create the most scary and intimidating spectacle she can and then use that as negotiating leverage to extract a surrender ideally without firing a shot, she is willing to follow through on her threats but she is reluctant to do so. She didn't start shooting until after Raiko had gotten a good look at her giant death machine and had refused her first demand to surrender.

They almost seemed to be going that way in the first part of the season. Something that the latter part of the season completely overlooks but I think explains a lot about Kuvira's motivations is the line Raiko had in the coronation episode about Wu just being a figurehead and that the restored Earth Kingdom would actually ruled by ministers selected by him and the other nation's leaders. So basically Raiko's plan was to have Kuvira reunite all of the former Earth Kingdom territories and then set up a UR puppet state with a powerless king and hand-picked ministers, and I am certain that Kuvira had to know that was the plan, she would have talked to Raiko in the three years he was sponsoring her campaign and would have undoubtedly voiced concerns over putting Wu on the throne. That basically makes Kuvira a sort of Big Boss figure, a soldier and military leader who is used by an elite conspiracy as a tool to create their own world order and then rebels and creates their own nation.
It was shit.

It sucked.
We needed a genuine female enemy for Korra to face. Not some loser that only happens to achieve anything simply because Korra was weak and wounded from being a loser herself.

Interesting =/= retarded, like most of LoK's characters were.
