(Putting in Read more for those who are avoiding spoilers for Korra)

The keyword was most, though I’m not saying that even all the major villains were that completely bad.

Amon was fairly interesting in the first season, as obvious and more cliche the 2nd Season’s villain got it did give us a pretty grand fight at the end which some have been arguing felt like was more was at stake then in the actual series finale, Zaheer was also interesting in a few ways though I think he suffers the most from the limit of episodes each season had because it feel they beat him and his team a little too quickly and heck even though the end seemed to tease that his Red Lotus army was going to still run rampant even after his capture but then we get a time skip where apparently most of the resistance from the Red Lotus seemed to have been vanquished though at least what he did to Korra still remained with all the PTSD (That’s something I was really worried about as soon as I heard a timeskip was happening between Books 3 and 4).

And yeah I do agree that Kuvira was a pretty cool villain, even if most of it I felt like all the terrible things she did there kept being parallels to Hitler prior to World War II (Nationalistic, a great orator, Seeks to return her nation to it’s former glory, Concentration camp that keeps both Political Prisoners and people not of birth in the Earth Kingdom (Though to be fair, at least she wasn’t committing Genocide. But that’s like almost the only thing Kuvira doesn’t check off the Hitler rise to power checklist), when appeased she only seeks to get more power (I’m willing to bet if she had gotten Republic City she may have eventually gone power-hungry enough to try to take over the entire world), researched heavily in the idea of super-weapons (Though thankfully in world history, Hitler never actually had one completed unlike Kuvira), and maybe there are more that I’m forgetting but needless to say I think it’s easy to see why “Kuvira is Hitler” was pretty common as a fanbase reaction) Though I gotta say on that it kinda feels Kuvira get off a little too easy, I’m not saying she needed to die a horrible death for the satisfaction (Like I believe was the fate of both the first two season’s major villains). Because stuff like how Azula and even the Fire Lord went down was good ways to defeat them without killing them, but they still felt like they got what they deserved. They just came with stuff like we’re supposed to feel sorry for Kuvira just because she was an orphan at one point of her life which wasn’t really built up much, which doesn’t exactly excuse alot of her actions in the season even if it was properly built up. Sure they were trying to go for an interesting moral conviction that Korra and Kuvira are similar they just went through it in different ways. Still though, it’s not like Korra was ever that close of threatening the world with a super-weapon, putting people in concentration camps, etc. It doesn’t exactly ruin what was still an awesome finale for me, but it might be something that leaves me scratching my head otherwise anyhow.
