Aang was a much different character than Korra. His battle with death was a much different and necessary one to his character. It was well done.
Of course she is, and that's why they didn't have a huge overly elaborate battle between her and Kuvira at the end. Korra kicking arse does nothing for the character, since she's been more than capable of always doing this.

Kuvira was done a great disservice to her character. She was teased to an almost Hitler level with concentration camps and willing to sacrifice the love of her life to get the power she always wanted. OMG, Korra saved her from a spirit explosion she caused, totally should stop world domination now and just accept jail. That was so dumb... Korra doesn't have to murder her, but the way it went down was just completely dissatisfying.
You can disagree, that's fine, but my opinion is as valid as yours...
I don't think Kuvira was ever crazy (like her other villains), just ruthless as frick. Kuvira was cut from a much different cloth than the other 3 Big Bads, and honestly didn't think for a second Kuvira would be killed during the finale. Korra is a character who has redeemed herself through sacrifice, and showing the levels she's willing to go to in a reasonable manner. I thought was always the best way to handle Kuvira, because in the end she knew that Korra was right and she had gone much too far with her mission. This is what I was expecting going into the finale, and I'm really glad Korra didn't kill Kuvira. I see no reason why Korra should have killed her.

It should of been this ruthlessness that pushed Kuvira on. She was willing to slaughter anything that got in her way. I mean she wrecked the frick out of a city, destroyed the spirit tree, and tried to kill the love of her life to complete her goal. It was such a poorly conceived turn for the character to go "oh I give up now." Hitler at least offed himself. If Kuvira's character would of maintained her arc, Korra's hand would of been forced to do something more. See Kyoshi vs Chin.
This is going to be one of those arguments where we won't change either's mind. I hated it, you liked it. The end...
