I wonder, what authority you think that is?

Well, I suppose there's the fact she could fuck shit up good if she wanted to.

That's what a lot of authority is based on, anyway.

Every time I see Kai I just want to smack him up side the head and shout "WASSA MATTA WICHU?!"

Also, more baby bison! Yes.

Korra is a superhero, not an Avatar of a divine force.

Although to be honest, the only way she could exert her authority is through the use of force, and maybe she doesn't want a lot of people to get hurt?

She arguably is, since she's got Raava inside her.

Kai is this season's acceptable hate target, given Korra's rising competence at long last.

I'd say that Korra might still be fearful of losing control?

and Kai is worth the hate, but it isn't hate as so much as just "Dammit Kai... why are you so stupid?!" aka... a middle schooler's actions when looked at by a High schooler or young adult.

Apparently the Four Nations must exist somewhere in the Marvel universe, considering how often the populace tends to turn against the Avatar.

Also, I'll give Kai this, he at least seems to be learning, slowly and not very well, but still learning.

Well, hopefully he learns some manners at some point, sooner rather than later.

Yeah, during airbending training, he was the best airbender in the class (not the best historian, but still the best airbender). The only two at that temple that are definitely better than him are Jinora and Tenzin. and i'd be willing to bet Jinora would throw an airbending duel with him...

Yes, probably to keep him away from Jinora.

We're more likely to see Sokka show up with Suki to fight Zahir and his homies.

I don't know about that...

what do you think ever happened with Sokka and Suki? Suki has not been mentioned once, and only had a cameo on the portrait shown in the opening.

There's a lot of mystery behind what happened to Sokka. Did he ever have kids? Did he stay with Suki? How did the Northern Water Tribe come to rule the South? I think it was said that Sokka was Chief of the South at one point.
