Legend of Korra Book 4: You aint bout Dat Toph

I'm more interested about the long-term consequences of the second season, since it's unclear about whether or not Unalok and Vatu are bound to their own avatar cycle. Sure they were totally killed in the avatar state, which Zaheer believed would sever the avatar fusion, but that's not actually confirmed. But they probably won't do that since "we have to kill this kid before Unalok's memories overwrite his/her personality" is probably too dark for Nickelodeon.

The Fire Nation is probably sidelined because it was the big thing in AtLA and the rest of the world deserved more attention, but the neglect is really starting to show now (water-arm lady's prison in season 2 was probably the only scene to take place at the Fire Nation if I'm remembering properly.)

Also, it never really stood out to me before, but the elements are stupidly imbalanced for combat.

Air: Godlike in versatility and speed (no wonder Plot Nation wiped out the airbenders)
Fire: Pretty good, but weak on barrier penetration.
Water: Strong, but dependent on water supply.
Earth: Pretty weak aside from large projectiles and making cover.
Earth (with consideration of the variant earthbenders): Fear itself, taking the form of the weaker elements to a limited degree while using metalbending to basically be SpiderIronManThor.
