Discussion History YMMV / TheLegendOfKorra

I suppose I can understand that, it\\\'s just that, personally, I feel that trying to kill the hero is pretty tame. I mean, I know this trope is subjective, but every villain, with the exception of Amon who just wanted to debend her, has tried to kill Korra. It especially seems iffy if we take Kuvira\\\'s viewpoint into account. I mean, look at it this way, Korra\\\'s entered the Avatar state, has temporarily disabled Kuvira and, instead of restraining her, is raising a huge boulder overhead to crush her under. Even though Korra doesn\\\'t do it, from an outsider\\\'s point of view, it looks like the only reason she didn\\\'t crush her was because she dropped out of the Avatar state at a poor time, not because she willingly relented and decided to show mercy. I\\\'m not attempting to whitewash Kuvira or what she\\\'s done, I\\\'m just saying that in this instance I could see how Kuvira could interpret Korra\\\'s attack as an attempt on her life in a non-fatal duel, and attempts to repay the favor in kind.
