>>102224350Well to be fair that kind of thing is specifically Korra's job to make decisions like that, it's one of the reasons the Avatar exists. Tenzin's job was to train her in Airbending, not make her choices for her. Plus asking old people rarely helps. Remember Aang's conference with the past Avatars? "Murder is your guys solution to everything!" "No, we also sometimes just rip off chunks of land to protect the people, even if that act also solves the problem through murder thus removing the need to relocate the land. Murder just works, Aang! Try it, you'll love it!" Arguably there is nothing inherently wrong about opening the spirit world to the real world, the problem is mostly Korra just deciding, "Well, my job here is done and nothing bad will ever come of this," rather than act as an ambassador to help integrate the two worlds.
If I had to suss up the issue for a post on an anonymous massage broad my view of Korra is that she's a kind of Mobius Sue. The writers understand that she needs to be fallible otherwise she's just a Mary Sue. Unfortunately they don't know how to achieve that in a way that doesn't make her a bumbling idiot and cannot manage character development so she grows and learns over time. So she becomes a circle starting at headstrong independent woman who discovers or is discovered by trouble, then spends most of the season making it worse often by being tricked by the bad guys, then at the last moment she goes Mary Sue to solve the problem just in time to come full circle and turn into a walking travesty of bad life choices again. Forget the cycle of the Avatar, the cycle of Bryke is the real hell that needs broken.
