Being a reader isn\'t a flaw. And that she reads even if she has to struggle for it - isn\'t it endearing? Ignoring stupid villages isn\'t a flaw either.

I would say she is PuritySue or MarySue, but still likeable. TropesAreNotBad and TropesAreTools, and fairy-tales do have to have pure and ideal heroines.

While both of them don\\\'t really \\\"lose\\\" definitely until each series respective finales, Amon is basically untouchable for the majority of Legend of Korra, he never suffers any kind of drawbacks and succeeds at every goal he sets out to achieve. De-bending Lin, Tarrlok, Korra herself, and many other benders. Destroying the Pro-bending Arena, defeating the United Forces army and pretty much taking over Republic City before Korra unmasked him.

While Azula does win by the end of Book 2: Earth and yes, her victory can be partly attributed to contrived coincidences, she does suffer her fair share of defeats before that. In her first speaking appearance she dominates Zuko before Iroh defeats her in like 5 seconds and they manage to escape. In Return to Omashu she fails to catch Aang even with the help of her friends. In The Chase, part of the reason why she disappears at the end is because she knew she couldn\\\'t take them all on and that\\\'s why she takes that cheap shot at Iroh in order to distract them and retreats. Then in The Drill she and Ty Lee are defeated (quite humiliatingly I might say) by Team Avatar and they destroy the siege unit that the Fire Nation probably spend months creating. [[LampshadeHanging Mai even points out their failure at the end]]. And finally, you can tell in The Crossroads of Destiny that she couldn\\\'t have won without help. Watch that episode again, if Zuko hadn\\\'t made his Face Heel Turn and hadn\\\'t showed up to aid her, Katara alone would have defeated her.

So yeah, as effective as Azula is, Amon beats her in the Villain Invincibility department.
