For me, the biggest problem currently is that the whole series just doesn't feel epic at all. It's just all so "minor" compared to TLA. For example, there aren't any major bending battles at all, and even if they're there they end in seconds.

Besides that those mini-bizons were freaking amazing.

Eska is also a weird character because no one like that exists in real life.

Everything feels so rushed. In one episode, there was an arrest, a trial, an interrogation, a light confrontation, and a rescue. I miss the days where Aang would roam the forbidden library for several episodes without it having much to do with the fire nation at all. When watching ATLA I got to learn about the world outside the fire nation war. LoK just feels rushed. At least the humor got better!

Personally, I didn't feel it was that rushed. Other animes are just really slow eg. Attack on Titan where they focus on a Female Titan for 8 episodes. I mean, Korra's not adventuring around the world trying to get to the North Pole. It's not the same pace because it's not the same archetype show, and is definitely more happens than in Aang's series but that's not necessarily bad.

Would it be better if they waited another episode to save Korra's dad and left you on a cliffhanger? Or if they made the outbreak of civil war finally happen in chapter 8, with Korra finally saving them in chapter 10?

Kaya and Bumi's acting was better.

I think there are opportunities where they could draw it out and get a lot more out of the show. For example when Korra was at the Southern spirit portal, they could have gone into a full episode on her fighting spirits and building the confidence she needed to finally being able to open the portal. Don't get me wrong, I hate filler, but there are some things that are just unnecessarily short. I want to see an emotional journey, or some kind of struggle involved. For a good portion of the episodes, some of the minor conflicts seem to be resolved by the end of the episode, or at least the one after. I appreciate the struggles that Aang went through to try to get Appa back. It was so much more meaningful when he finally found Appa. Or even when Zuko finally fought Azula. I know the show is going in a different direction, but I would like if they went away from short bursts of action and more towards progressive story telling. It is a kids show after all I suppose, children want to go back to a happy medium towards the end of every show. But I can always hope for more.

Aang called in enough water to fill a lake on the final episode. He's made ice that lasts a hundred years with energy to sustain himself in stasis. He's demolished entire Earth Kingdom cities like when that mad Earth King tried to induce the Avatar state. And when fully provoked by Ozai, when he actually stayed in the avatar form for more than a few seconds he showed that he was stronger than any army. Kyoshi split a landmass off from the mainland and turned it into an island.

Korra's avatar state usage was underwhelming. She should be able to demolish all of the Northern water tribe ships and force a surrender in seconds.

Good predictions above from the people who said Unalaq framed his brother to become Chief.
