She still learning. Real humans get in fights (rather verbally or physical) all the time. Why does she have to be perfect?
Even if that is the case. Not as if Aang didn't lose himself almost every time when he got overwhelm by a enemy.
Ah, yes, the Other M Defense: "Criticizing the characterization? Can you not handle a character with emotions? What, do you not want her to be human?"
As people have reiterated time and time again, the problem isn't that Korra is "human." The problem is that she's a poorly written, unlikable human. She's bratty, petulant, and completely self-absorbed, and maybe that'd be okay as a starting point in her growth, but she doesn't grow. She doesn't earn her victories through perseverance and grit; they're handed to her through plot convenience (the end of season one is the most egregious example, but it's a consistent theme).
To use your example of Aang, Aang was certainly a flawed protagonist, and Aang didn't always win. People found Aang endearing because he tried to overcome his flaws and learned from his mistakes. When he lied to Sokka and Katara about their Dad, he felt ashamed, made amends, and learned from the experience. What he didn't do was make the exact same mistakes over and over, and he didn't backpedal over his previous development.
Also, Aang was, like, 12. Korra is supposed to be an adult and acts like a child. This doesn't exactly make her any more endearing.
You could say, "Well, some humans are like that!" and sure, you'd be right, but just being human doesn't equate to likable or interesting. Bob Smith from accounting is human, too, but that doesn't make him a compelling protagonist.
It's not like he didn't get the power to Energybend just in the last second before fighting Ozai.
Citing this asspull, one of the most criticized plot elements in the entire original series, isn't exactly helping your argument.
At least her solution is something she had to learn overtime to beat the Dark Avatar.
I don't think "Becomes magical kaiju to punch evil magical kaiju" could be considered character development. Also, that fact that you can take "Dark Avatar" with a straight face tells me you're not ready.
Beyond Korra, the series has a long, long list of problems. With few exceptions, the side characters are flat at best and terrible at worst, there's little overarching plot driving the series forward, the pacing is all over the place, the romantic plot tumor ate the show from the inside out, the blatant fan pandering at the expense of the show (references are fine, but for a series that was meant to stand on its on two feet, it uses the original series as a crutch), the retcons and Midichlorianing, the villains are lackluster (Amon was ruined by the ending), etc.
Say what you will about Metal Gear, at least it gave Platinum tons of room for cuh-razy action.
Now, maybe you like The Legend of Korra. Hey, whatever floats your boat. To continue acting, in thread after thread, that people just don't like Korra because she's "human" is disingenuous bullshit.
TL;DR: TLoK is bad and you should feel bad.
So, uh... on topic, I'm still not all that excited. However, if it makes Platinum some money to fund something that's actually interesting, then I guess I'll be satisfied.
