[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Despite her actions, Kuvira still loved Baatar. Konietzko confirmed this in his commentary of the episode. She just loved power a bit more. Kuvira is actually his favorite villain The fact she built a Gundam suit and no one saw it coming is brilliant, as unexpected as the Spanish Inquisition. She was willing to do whatever it takes to get Republic City. And that's on top of being a week early. A force to be reckoned with

[@varunbhat2077]

Also, it's not like Kuvira has not brought a positive change. She is the only villain in ATLA and TLOK that has brought a large scale positive change. She modernized the Earth kingdom and united it and brought order.

[@wolfbearice]

I believe that Kuvira was genuine about her love for BJ. But she decided to make the sacrifice for the sake of her Empire - she might be going about it the wrong way, but she really does want what's best for her people. She's willing to sacrifice everything she loves for the sake of what she considers the greater good.

[@Boss_Isaac]

The narrative of the show frames it as if she's an incredibly determined badass, rather than an imperialist warmonger willing to kill whomever should it further her goals of expansion.

[@bluebird8221]

@@Boss_Isaac I mean, it's not necessarily exclusive I guess. It's just a question of interpretation. She's the woman that reunited the earth kingdom saving it from basically civil war among the different regions (or at least definitive separation) and stopped the increasing amount of criminality, wanting to take back a territory that was rightfully a part of the earth kingdom, ready to even sacrifice those she loved for that. But she was a crazy woman, with a big thirst for power, ready to do horrible things to get it. She's definitely a pretty realistic character. Dictator or important head of state from different countries that provoked or play big part on wars can be seen differently according to who you ask. The show definitely put her as the villain tho, she's a bit greyish, but definitely dark grey morally speaking.

[@lapanthanim]

​@@bluebird8221 I know it's been a while since this series was done but it's worth including here that her "thirst for power" was really not about having power for the sake of being powerful but about covering up the deep hidden fear and powerlessness she felt due to... ::SPOILER WARNING (for people new to the show):: ...her ongoing abandonment issues. That's hammered home pretty hard in the finale, which explain everything she's done from the point she left Su's side onwards. Everything was done so Kuvira's inner child wouldn't feel so scared and alone. Maybe it's a failing of the show that people only focus on Kuvira's power-seeking as an outward expression of what was going on inside, but Korra ultimately helps her feel safe again and that's why she has no problem backing down and surrendering in the end. It was never about power for power's sake, but just feeling safe and connected with her "family" (the Earth Kingdom). If it had been about power, she would have at least been disappointed and bitter upon defeat. Instead she's at peace with confirming Korra's power and facing consequences for her actions.

Kuvira loved Bataar. She even asked if he was injured. But I think, she fired the weapon thinking it as a "sacrifice".

[@briancatmaster]

I don't think that Kuvira was just using Bataar Jr. for his smarts just loved her empire more than him. She believe that it would be necessary for the world and did not want to let her relationships stop her from achieving that goal. But yeah maybe she could have united the Earth Empire in another way besides you know, dictatorship and empires.

[@gerardlacroix6015]

Yeah, like all Korra's vilains, she is reacting to something unfair; in an extreme way. Amon was right to point out the inequality between benders and non benders. Unalaq pointed out the rift between humans and spirits and thus between inovation and tradition. Zaheer wanted a world without borders, and old rulers dominating the people. Kuvira is no exception, she wanted to protect her country left in chaos, and the avatar was gone... She had to step up, but lost her way in the process.

@@PxndaCakes In ATLA too, the fire nation had big complex machines like when Azula attacked Ba SIng Se.

[@pwojo9776]

To be fair, Kuvira's not wrong for how she sees the Republic. It's formed up of the lands the Fire Nation conquered and colonized, then they just surrender on their own terms even though they were winning. The Fire Nation didn't lose per-say, they just quit mid-game and weren't even punished for it or charged for war crimes; the Earth Kingdom didn't win either, it's a spit in the face to the Earth Kingdom, basically all the other nations but to the Earth Kingdom and Air Nomads especially, and all the peoples lives who were lost or irreversibly changed. Also, the whole like Avatar being the highest authority (this can be said about any piece of media with a Messiah theme) is also kind of bullshit. Aang was like 13 when he became a fully realized Avatar, and Korra was like 16. Imagine some teenage twat walks into congress or the UN, proclaims that they're god and has the power to back it up, starts ordering people around and making demands, and even expects people not to complain or do anything about it.

A little trivia: from the novels after Zuko became the fire lord. He ordered all the fire nation troops from the Earth kingdom. Some of the officers refused. Zuko even fought a governor but when Zuko was winning the earth bending wife of the officer actually fought Zuko to defend her husband. After a hundred years there were earth/fire families that actually made lives together. So the people decided that
