I think the characters in Korra have good potential, like Korra, Asami and Mako. and to an extent, Bolin too (they could do so much more with his character than him just being the comic relief).
I think they are massively under-used though, and dumbed down at certain points to make the plot go in a certain direction.
To be fair though, with the theme this season being "Spirits" it makes sense that Mako, Asami and Bolin have less to do with the plot, they are however building up a secondary plot which I hope will lead into a bigger story next season, rather than bogging down the ending with it.
I have a feeling that the second season is mostly just building up new groundwork, since the first season was meant only to be a one-off, they need to build up some conflict, and some plot for the next few seasons.
They couldn't build any groundwork up in the first season, because the plot was open and shut with no real room to build on, other than the characters. Thus the second season has put the characters on the backburner to set up the world and lore more, which I think they have done very well.
The final 4 episodes are probably going to be good regardless, but I have MUCH higher hopes for next season, when they will have hit their stride more, with all the groundwork laid out they can focus back on the characters and give them more development.
This is all just my opinion, but it seems pretty fitting.
