I kind of felt the same way when Aang didn't kill Ozai, but in the end, it's Aang's defining moment as a character and his single greatest moment. He let his pure spirit defeat Ozai, and he ended the war on his terms, not what the world seemingly demanded of him.

I never expected Kuvira to die honestly. Plus killing Kuvira does nothing for Korra's character. Korra is more than capable of doing that, and I think it would have been character regression if she had killed Kuvira. It was pretty clear to me that Kuvira and Korra were reflections of one another, and that killing her would only make Korra the hot headed punk she was at the start of the series. In the first season, she attempts to downright murder Tarrlok in cold blood. Korra's initial approach in the series was always shoot first and ask questions later, but as time went on she realized that this should only be used as a last resort. No in the end Korra needed to negotiate with Kuvira and not just kick her arse. It was the best move for the character, and I love that that happened. Plus she killed Unalaq and kicked Amon out a 7 story window, so why is it necessary for her character to kill Kuvira?

Go find a Rule 34 version of the characters if that's what you want. IMO it was done well and done as classy as they could have done it. It's not really shoved in your face, it's subtle, but it's also very clear where this is going. Korra and Asami I think just realized their true feelings for one another right there, while Aang and Katara had long come to terms with it by the end of series. I think it would have been forced from both characters to have done it right there.
