She just can't at the moment. she already used the state this season, think the first episode, to try and get rid of the vines (which didnt work). | ||

"The Avatar State is a defense mechanism, designed to empower you with the skills and knowledge of all the past Avatars. The glow is the combination of all your past lives, focusing their energy through your body. In the Avatar State, you are at your most powerful, but you are also at your most vulnerable. If you are killed in the Avatar State, the reincarnation cycle will be broken and the Avatar will cease to exist." ―Roku to Aang.[18] She has no connection to her past lives anymore, so the avatar state is not that powerful anymore. | ||

Her past lives may be lost but she's still fused with the light spirit. It's unclear how weak she would've gotten, but Avatar Wan was not weak and he had no past lives either. She just can't call on them for help. | ||

They seem like really pointless anarchists so far "So yeah we want to kill all leaders and FREE THE PEOPLE!, I guess they'll see what they want to do after that, we don't care". I mean they apparently aren't interested in power/control, so they just want people to be free of government and that's it?. As what they want with Korra they probably just want to lock her up? maybe? if they kill her she'll just respawn as a new avatar so .I think they want to lead her onto the path of righteousness and anarchy. Since she is supposed to be the guardian of balance in the world and the relationship between people in power and the small guys was clearly out of balance. They never really intended to kill her, just to turn her, so she could help in the revolution against all governments. Which would have been much easier if they had grabbed her when she was young. I'm not yet sure though what the show actually aims at. Promoting democracy as a solution? Showing that governments, even though they might not be fair, are necessary? | ||

The people that captured her weren't just those at the airship. There was an Earth Kingdom military base in the area.

Asami's escape was only possible because they made rather idiotic mistakes in holding them. | ||

All it takes to start a revolution is killing their leader and saying "you're all free now :^)" Man the world of the Avatar series is a tiny, tiny place. im not sure if the other nations are kingdoms, because i'd rate the earthkingdom after the fire and even waternation in terms of strenght - it might be the biggest, its also the worst controlled (imo) | ||

Ba sinsei is big enough to fit a good chunk of the fire islans into. The earth queen controls the largest empire in the world. The water nation is pretty much two small settlements in an icy wasteland and the air nomads are like 3 hotel-sized buildings. The only nation that could really hold a candle to the earth kingdom is the fire nation. But that was really only because of their technology. Now the whole world has air ships and iron clads and the fire nation is on equal footing. This makes the earth queen the most powerful person in the world. And now she's dead. Killed by 4 vagabonds. | ||

I think the fire nation is still the most powerful one. If you remember when Korra first went to Ba Sing Se, the earth queen mentioned how Zuko and Aang took territory from the Earth Kingdom and that she would not let the avatar take the small amount of territory she still had left. This and the seemingly autonomous Metal Clan suggest that the earth kingdom was already pretty weak. Since it seems that Zuko had a lot of influence over the world when he was fire lord, I think the fire nation is still strongest. | ||

Killed by 4 vagabonds. i disagree that being the leader of the biggest nation makes you the most powerful leader in the world - you need peoples support for that and i assume that in a nation as big as the earth kingdom not everyone would support her but considering we have no info on that but that she WAS the queen and thus should've been a major character, she had very little protection and died as a result | ||

Yeah I guess turning her for their cause would have been their only real course of action and obviously at this point would be hard to indoctrinate her or whatever into their way of thinking. I'm getting that about democracy and it got me thinking, Capital City has a president or governor whatever, was he chosen through an actual election? I don't remember them mentioning that or I just forgot, if he WAS chosen democratically wouldn't that count as people being free to choose whatever they want? why doesn't that count for the Red Lotus group? doesn't that make them look like douche bags who just don't like world leaders and want to stir shit up by killing them?. I mean the whole idea of this group is kind of dumb, okay so they kill all the world leaders and then what? assuming they succeed, what is their role in the world after they kill Zuko and company, to wait around to kill the new leaders of the world when they eventually do come up because anarchy?. So weird. | ||
