As much as I hope, we need to consider her age. Even tho being the youngest of all the ATLA characters, she's still around 85 (if I counted right) but you're right, she just needs to be awesome.
I don't see what age has to do with it. The White Lotus at the end of ATLA proved that once a badass, always a badass. Bumi was 112.
Just saw the trailer for season 4 its was awesome. Korra with short hair is so sexy. I'm very interested in how Toph's personality is going to be like after all these years. She was awesome as the adorable sarcastic blind kid with that emo rebellious side. I feel like Bolin is in forces with the "bad side" that army led by Kuvira. I also have a feeling Zhu Li betrays Varric and becomes that saving grace for the "good side." The time sequence in the trailer seemed odd, does Korra meet Toph before or after she confronts Kuvira. I guess we'll just have to wait to find out.
My main problem with season 2 is how they completely ruined the mysteriousness around the spirit world. It went from a mysterious world with faceless and hard to understand beings (such as Hebei and Koh) to a shiny fun and fluffy world with a bunch of silly beings that would fit much better in a Pixar movie. And forcing Iroh in their didn't improve anything IMO it just felt too forced.
Season 3 was much better although it was frustrating to see how everyone kept failing at stopping four benders. Seriously, they escaped one of the most secured prisons in the world (the one with the water arms girl) by driving away in a goddamn truck. This in an era where they already have robots and planes and tanks and not to forget Zuko was also there with a motherfucking dragon. I actually liked the four villains but when they finally got whacked I was like thank god finally someone does their job around here..

Well, they were supposed to be one in a billion benders in terms of strength. I certainly could live with the way they escaped. However, I was a bit disappointed that Bolin and Mako were able to beat them in the end, especially in such an easy manner. What I also didn't get until this day is, what Zaheer was before he got air bending. Maybe I didn't pay enough attention in the third episode...
Im ok with how ming-hua went out, just hardcountered by lightning, but ghazan should have manhandled them even 2on1. Then again, seeing Mako he must have realized that ming-hua got defeated and we see him lose the will to fight. So many people are saying that they didn't show enough of the red lotus backstory, but it's a 13 episode season, a constraint imposed by the network and the writers have to deal with it. So what would you have removed to make time for a red lotus backstory then? I guess in a perfect world we would have had 20 episodes, with zaheers background fleshed out, the creation of the redlotus actually shown in flashbacks rather than mentioned casually by zaheer and also how he found P'Li and the others. But I'm really fine with what we have too.

But he's still alive, unlike all of the previous villains, so I think we're going to be finding that out.
But that's only an assumption. It isn't canon. Even if it's certainly possible.

That's what we got, yes. But why is this? What were his powers that brought him into that position? It would take like 2 lines of text to fill that gap, yet they didn't do it. I can't understand how they wouldn't with an interesting main villain and this backstory...
For those who have read the graphic novels of TLA, I sense a Zuko/Ozai-like relationship happening between Korra and Zaheer in Book 4. Possibly. At least, I think it would be quite cool.
Basically, Korra would come to Zaheer to seek his advice, even though she resents him. And he turns out to be quite insightful, which in my opinion would not be far-fetched at all.

Even masters need to fear chumps. Any master could have an off day, or the chumps could have a fantastic day.

I think they dropped it from the network due to the content and tone, rather than rating. The show is doing well by all reports with online viewership. They had a show that catered to a older audience and wanted didn't want to have to tone down the content(like straight up killing people), poisoning people and sad endings.
The writers have said content is not the reason the show was pulled and doubted execs watch the show nor were the leaks the reason. They didn't specify the actual reason though. Maybe the show in general being for a slightly older audience, but not because of things like killing the Earth Queen or beating Tenzin close to death.
Interesting that from that clip it's confirmed that Korra is gone from republic city for 3 years. Seems like she just up and leaves on her journey to regain herself. God I can't wait :D.
3 years.... That means they're not teenagers anymore! No more angst and romance bullshit! This makes me happy. I've got some high expectations for this.
Did you have a problem with teen angst and romance bullshit in book 3? They moved past that in great form in book 3, Mako was uncomfortable, there was Kai/Jinora and Bolin/Opal, but it was all handled very well. They didn't need to age everyone up three years to handle the romance better.
Here is the youtube version of the IGN clip.
This seems to be the opening clip for Ep 1, but we've seen clips of Korra before the timeskip for book 4 still in the wheelchair. So I think this will be the first time we got a flashback to events that occurred during the main series.
