What POS said is pretty much exactly what I got out of it. He used a movement that was gaining steam to further his own ends and they were drawing parallels between that and the early industrial revolution / rise of the Nazi party around the first world war. It's not that he believed, or even cared that non-benders were oppressed, they were tools in his own quest.
A lot of the other criticisms I feel are valid though. Every romantic arc was rushed and in my opinion unnecessary at least at this stage of the show. It felt like the producers got involved and said "Yeah we need a romantic arc, so put that in." I just didn't like the pacing. Given the enormous success of ATLA, I cannot fathom why Nickelodeon thought "The first series was fantastic and super profitable with over 60 episodes in total!! Let's cut the new show down to ten episodes." Even if it was intended to be a mini-series from the get-go, it was really poorly executed and when it ended with "Super #1 ultra happy endings and bad guys are gone 4lyfe" I was like :|
