I doubt she really turned against him, I have a pretty strong feeling that it's just a ploy. But then I wonder if Kuvira can detect lying or, if she can, if it's shrouded by her ego.

Maybe, but based on Zhu Li's reaction after Varrick saved her and told her she needed to clean up, and after they got captured, I wouldn't be surprised if she really did get fed up.

Baata Jr. really ticks me off. He's got his head so far up Kuvira's ass it's unbelievable. He thought he was stepping out of his father's shadow, but he's such a whipped beta to Kuvira it's pathetic. What I'd love to see is his ego getting completely burned before the finale. Can't even begin to imagine how he'd ask for forgiveness after what he's done to his family.

Fifty bucks says he has a "revealing moment" from either something totally insane Kuvira does, or from something either Opal or Korra says to him by Episode 11 (or both).

Maybe he becomes mad after he uses a WMD against people.

This is something that has really irked me for a week now, but I hate that in avatar when Korra is facing off against Kuvira, she can’t even land ONE blow. Correct me if I’m wrong, and I know that she’s a “little rusty” and Kuvira is at the top of her game, but by now despite that, I expect season four Korra to have put up SOME type of a fight—and I absolutely didn’t expect her to beat Kuvira now at all, but to have been utterly dismantled by her is just such a let down.

I just feel like Korra struggles way too much until the very end of each season, and that is not realistic at all. Like, Korra is clearly the biggest threat to Kuvira, and I expected her to have thrown Kuvira a little off her game and make her struggle in ANY way, but to have Kuvira completely toss her around like a rag doll gives Kuvira no real reason to want to train and try to be better for the final fight as well—which allows more development and humanization for Kuvira. I love Kuvira as a villain, she represents the modernization and development of the world, and I expect more for her from the writers………..

And I hate that the only way Korra was able to be somewhat in control of the fight was when she entered the avatar state, which is basically saying she went from 0 to 100, whereas when Aang did it, he went from like 80 to 100…it basically means that Korra the human is a pointless character, and anytime I feel like she’s made any progress, she basically falls flat.

I’m just ready for the earth kingdom/empire avatar already.

I can't disagree with the majority of that post, but...

To say that Aang went from an 80 to a 100, especially during the Osai fight, is severely overvaluing his non-Avatar State form in addition to undervaluing his Avatar State. I'd say it was more like from a 50 to a 100.

But otherwise I really agree with that post. Korra got completely devastated and it made no sense. It's one thing to have that ending of the fight for her, and another thing to make her utterly pathetic and useless and then still freeze at the end. Right now you'd think she never trained at any point ever and couldn't fight a squirrel.

Okay, perhaps not 80 to 100, but it still is a substantial increase. However, Aang's biggest barrier usually was his reluctance to actually fight using more offensive maneuvers. That barrier was usually removed in the Avatar state.

But yeah, I don't understand why Korra keeps getting her ass handed to her in every fight. Someone tried to argue that it was just the progression of bending, that it just isn't as creative anymore. I can see that to an extent, however virtually everyone else outside of Team Avatar is a creative bender. Bolin, Mako, and Korra are just uncreative benders in a world where everyone else is still creative.

I think it would've been okay for Korra to lose, but not nearly that badly.
